I'm Minh Pham, a Bay Area wedding videographer based in Vacaville, between Napa Valley and Sacramento. I film weddings across the whole Bay: San Francisco, Oakland and the East Bay, San Jose and the South Bay, the Peninsula, Marin, Napa and Sonoma. There are no travel fees anywhere in the Bay Area or Sacramento.
My films are cinematic and story-first, documentary at heart: your real vows, real toasts and real audio, shaped into a film that feels like the two of you rather than a template. I film one wedding per day and only 20 to 25 a year, so every couple gets my full attention, from the first plan to the final edit.
Every corner of the Bay has its own light. San Francisco and the coast sit under summer fog that softens skin tones, the East Bay and the South Bay run warmer and clearer, and Marin adds wind off the water. I build each timeline backward from sunset and add real travel time between the ceremony and the reception, because traffic across the bridges is part of the plan.
For City Hall, the Presidio and the city's hotels, my San Francisco page goes deeper. Peninsula and South Bay couples will find Saratoga, Los Gatos and Woodside on my Silicon Valley page, and Half Moon Bay, Marin, Napa and Sonoma each have their own guide, linked at the bottom of this page.
Wedding videography here means moving between microclimates and city streets, and the light can change between the ceremony and the toasts. I bring fast lenses and clean audio for everything from a small City Hall elopement to a full hotel ballroom, and I plan the filming around your timeline so nothing feels rushed.

My 2026 to 2027 wedding film packages are $2,700, $3,300 and $4,100, and most couples invest $3,000 to $5,000 in their wedding film. The difference between packages comes down to hours of coverage, the number of cinematographers, the length of your highlight film, and extras like vertical edits for Instagram and TikTok, a full ceremony video and raw footage on a hard drive. Elopement films start at $2,500. A 20% deposit holds your date, and it is part of your package price, not an extra cost. There are no travel fees anywhere in the Bay Area, so the price you see is the price you pay, plus any sales tax shown on your invoice.
No. There are no travel fees anywhere in the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento or Yolo County. That covers San Francisco, the Peninsula, the South Bay, the East Bay, Marin, Napa, Sonoma and Solano. I'm based in Vacaville, between Napa Valley and Sacramento, so driving to your venue is simply part of the job. For weddings farther out, including Carmel, Big Sur and Lake Tahoe, any travel is spelled out in your quote up front, so you see the full picture before you book and there are no surprises later.
Yes. City Hall is one of my favorite places to film. Elopement films start at $2,500 and usually cover the ceremony, portraits around the building, and a cinematic highlight film. An early slot means an emptier rotunda and staircase, and most of the light inside is soft window light bouncing off marble. The rotunda echoes, so I mic you both and the officiant and record your vows up close, then let the sound of the room sit under the edit. Many couples add portraits afterward at Lands End, the Presidio or a favorite neighborhood before dinner.
I film one wedding per day and only 20 to 25 weddings a year. That limit is on purpose, so every film gets the time and care it deserves, from planning and filming all the way through the edit. Because of that, couples often book me 1 to 2 years ahead, and summer and fall Saturdays fill first. If your wedding is sooner, please don't count yourself out. Closer dates can still open up, and the only way to know for sure is to ask. Send your date through the form on this page and I'll let you know whether it's still open.
Your film is delivered within 6 to 8 weeks, as written in my contract. I know the wait is the hardest part, so I share sneak peeks along the way. That time goes into the edit, which is where the story is built: I listen to your vows, toasts and speeches, find the moments that sound most like the two of you, and shape the film around your real words. When your film is ready, you receive a Google Drive link to download it, and it's also viewable and downloadable on Vimeo, which makes it easy to share with family who couldn't be there.
Yes to both. Drone footage never costs extra: when your venue permits drone flights and the weather is safe, I capture aerial footage that shows the sweep of your venue and the landscape around it. Every venue sets its own rules, so please confirm drone permission with your coordinator, and I won't fly anywhere it isn't allowed. Package II includes vertical edits for Instagram and TikTok, made to be watched and shared on a phone. They sit alongside your highlight film rather than replacing it, so you get a quick way to share your day and a full film to treasure.
