Once you complete it, you’ll receive your custom Inspiration Snapshot, a visual preview of your wedding film’s aesthetic and storytelling approach. You’ll also receive First Look Priority, placing your story at the top of our creative queue.

We’ll meet over video or in person to refine ideas, answer questions, and connect on a personal level. This conversation ensures your film feels authentic to you from the start.

JESSE DRAKE HOVEY
CO-OWNER, HOVEY FILMS | SANTA BARBARA FILM FESTIVAL-NOMINATED DIRECTOR
I believe your wedding film should feel timeless, intimate, and effortless. Rooted in a background spanning feature films, fashion editorial videography and award-winning short documentaries, I founded Hovey Films with a singular vision: to craft wedding films that feel as effortless as they are emotionally resonant.
Our approach is grounded in cinematic storytelling, refined technical expertise, and a documentary-style lens that captures each couple’s day with quiet elegance. We believe that the best wedding videography honors not just the events, but the emotion and legacy behind them.
Each film is treated as a timeless heirloom — intimate, artful, and meticulously crafted. From thoughtful preparation to discreet filming and detailed editing, we give every story the same level of care we’d give our own family’s memories.
