Stephanie and David are engaged!
Congratulations to Stephanie and David! We had so much fun out at the lake for a quick engagement session running around in the golden sun and fishing. In all my years of doing this, these two were near the top of the list of easiest couples I have ever worked with and when they make your job that easy, is it even work? Please help me in congratulating them as they are getting married very soon in Northern California, and I can not wait!

I sought out Ron to film my wedding after seeing some of his work on Instagram. We had several conversations prior in order for both of us to be on the same page as to what the vision of the video would be and if there was anything i wanted filmed or didn't want filmed. He was also in contact with my DJ and photographer so that no one would get in each others way and know what each team is doing. He flew out to my wedding with another videographer and all of their equipment. They were very professional and explained everything that they were going to be doing (again). I was absolutely floored when I received my video. It absolutely blew away my expectations! I cried so many happy tears! Everyone whom I have shown it to has also raved about the video. To have such a special day on film is absolutely priceless but to have it done so beautifully and professionally was even better. I am so happy I chose Golden Hour Captures for my wedding day.

"I am lost for words. You have left me speechless. I cried the entire time.

Ron did an amazing job on a surprise engagement video and pictures! We discussed all the details ahead of time, he was there early and everything came out great! The video and pictures were perfect and made some of our family members so happy! Really nice guy and very talented behind the camera. Customer Service was on point. I spoke to 4 different photographers and Ron was the only one who seemed to have a genuine care about every detail I was asking for. Thank you for everything Ron! My wife and I are so happy!!

Hey look, it's me!
Born and raised right here in Turlock, California, I attended Turlock High School, then left a month after graduating to serve in the military. I was fortunate to be able to travel the world and experience different cultures and food on two overseas deployments. Four years later, I completed my service and was honorably discharged. I began studying at San Diego State University. One of my favorite classes was studying international film. Always a fan of playing with technology and cameras, I was more than excited when a professor challenged us to make an educational documentary film about a topic that I was passionate about. This lead to volunteering to make training videos at work, which lead to work sending me to the headquarters to work in the TV studio producing nationwide training films for our federal agency and getting paid for it. A friend asked me to film their wedding, and I started attending photography and filmmaking workshops, joining clubs in person and online, and entering (and winning a couple) film contests. During the pandemic, I moved back home to Turlock and have started a family. I am very thankful to God, my parents, my fiance, and my other friends and family who are so supportive of my passion. Word of mouth and networking leads to a majority of my business and I am always so thankful for all of my customers and any referrals they bring my way. My goal is to make you the best film and online photo galleries and I want to know how much you love my work!
Why hire a wedding filmmaker?
Why hire a wedding filmmaker?
Aren't photos good enough?
Yes! Wedding photos are a great option for most people and enough for some, and there is nothing wrong with that! But a wedding video means every single sweet moment of your wedding can be rewatched over and over. You don't just have to hope you remember that funny story of what happened at the wedding, you can share it on ultra high definition video. We only get one life, and one chance to record our wedding. Not everyone can, but if you can figure out a budget that allows you to cherish those magical memories on moving pictures, you have a lot more to share than just still images. It's your life, it's your wedding, and it's your legacy to share with generations to come. You make the decision, we are here to support you 100% in however you decide to capture it.
My promise to you.
I have been doing this for years and truly understand how big of a day your wedding is. My goal is to make sure we capture absolutely everything we can and we want you to be beyond happy with what we deliver to you. If we make you cry (happy tears), we have done our job.
We will:
do whatever it takes to make sure you love your photos and videos. If you don't we want to try our best to make it right! We are very easy to get ahold of, and very understanding. We take a lot of pride in providing excellent customer service and we want to earn that excellent online review or word of mouth referral. If there is anything you are unhappy with, please reach out and we will do what we can to fix any mistakes and attempt to make it right.
we will work with any budget to help you capture your wedding day. We don't want you to not be able to share your memories because your budget was tighter than expected. Weddings are expensive. We may be able to set up a payment arrangement ahead of your wedding to make the cost a little more manageable. The sooner you start this, the better and more manageable the total cost will be. This is also a great way to lock in your costs as they do change when our costs and demand increase.
make sure you don't have to worry about anything to add stress to your upcoming wedding. Communication is key to a successful wedding day with any of your wedding vendors. We offer a free consultation meeting at any time you want before entering into a contract and paying a deposit with us. Once your booking is confirmed, we are here for you for anything you need. We will ask for information about your wedding coordinator, DJ, and venue, and we will start making contact with them to make sure everything runs smoothly. We will talk to your DJ or event venue about plugging into their sound board to record audio for our videos. We will discuss lighting to make sure that you have fun on the dance floor but also that you are strategically lit just enough to capture those perfect skin tones while getting down with your family and friends. We will make sure to say hi to your planner/coordinator and event venue point of contact in case they have any questions or concerns. We will ask you for a list of all of your wedding vendors so we can tag them in social media posts after your big day.
be on time (early). It's important to you and us that we capture everything we can starting from the moment we agree upon in our planning discussion. That means we will start our day as early as we need to for no extra charge to include shots of you and your soon to be spouse getting ready in designated rooms on site or off site. And we will stay until the end of the night! Yes, it's a long day for us, but we are used to it and that's what we do (and with a smile on our faces).
do our best! We take a lot of pride in what we do and we promise to do everything we can to deliver the highest quality product to you. We have been doing this long enough to gain a reputation for being on time at events and on time with delivery of your gallery. As active members of our local community and online forums, we have a reputation to uphold.
deliver our final product to you as soon as possible! We are professionals in this industry. We have committed our lives to producing photographs and wedding films and we know you want to see them as soon as possible. We are not moonlighting as photographers on nights and weekends, we are in that editing bay on high powered workstations editing away during business hours (and nights and weekends)! We want to impress you with not only our quality, but our speed. We include timelines for delivery in our contracts and we stick to those timelines.
put our heart and soul into our work and editing. We do not send your photos off overseas for editing like some of our competition. We don't want these photos and videos seen by anyone outside of ourselves before delivering them to you!
