Ahwahnee Films

A while back, Zac and I started discussing the idea of hiring a videographer to capture our wedding. (Read all about that here.) On our search for the right videographer we've seen a lot of good work. There are some really talented people out there who make some fantastic wedding videos.

Unfortunately, the cost of most of the videographers we have looked at is more than we are willing to pay and certainly more than our budget will allow. It makes sense that high quality videos would have a higher price tag, but some of these videographers have left us with a little bit of sticker shock. As much as we would love to have video of our ceremony and reception we don't want to go broke in the process. Taking such a huge chunk out of our budget to pay for a videographer would mean that we would have to give up some of the more fun guest related projects as well as decorations and that just doesn't make sense. So we've been on the hunt for a less expensive option.

Recently we've come across Ahwahnee Films, a production company based in Orange County. We learned about this company after an old friend and ex coworker of ours was in a wedding in which the bride and groom hired Ahwahnee Films to capture their big day on film. This is the sneak peek highlights clip from Brooke and John's wedding:



We loved the quality of the video and were definitely interested in learning more about Ahwahnee Films. After looking through their website and coming across a price listing, Zac and I were surprised to see that the listed cost of filming a wedding was about $2000 less than a few of the other companys we've looked at. We've emailed the company to get some more information. In the meantime we're continuing to look around and compare prices. It's good to know that there is at least one less expensive option out there.

Here are a few more wedding highlight videos done by Ahwahnee Films:
