San Diego wedding videographer
Wedding films, led by Paul Dal.
I'm a San Diego wedding videographer. I lead every film myself: multi-camera coverage, clean audio on the vows and toasts, and an edit built from what actually happened. Wedding films start at $2,000 (2027 Rates).
Film is my primary lane.
I started making films in 2021 on Awaken Church's film team, and I've documented 70+ weddings. On a wedding day I'm the one behind the lead camera, directing the coverage and listening for the lines that will carry the edit.
I don't stage your day. Cameras run at once so the vows are seen from the front and the faces in the second row are caught too, without anyone being asked to do it again. The film is cut from real moments, in order, with the words you actually said.
Couples book film, photo, or both. For elopements, intimate days and smaller weddings, I can shoot photo and film myself. For a full-size wedding, Hybrid Day + 2nd Shooter or a Full Team covers both, with everyone working from one plan — one style, one point of contact.
