Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Big Day Productions is a boutique videography company operating out of Grass Valley in Northern California. Our focus is on capturing real moments from your wedding for future generations in a cinematic, documentary style of shooting and editing. The videography team is led by Bianca Smith, a seasoned filmmaker who's created hundreds of wedding films over the past seven years.
Our Approach:
- We work in a documentarian, fly-on-the-wall style of shooting. Like Nat Geo photographers, we like to capture our couples in their natural element. Really, we just want to let moments simply be what they are.
- Classically trained by film school and feature film work, we use the fundamentals of filmmaking to create short, story-driven films about love.
- Beauty is always a consideration. If it isn't your best shot, we aren't using it.
- We stand by the philosophy that over-staging moments will lead to a wedding film that won't feel authentic to who you are. We think of your wedding film as a polished, yet honest, behind-the-scenes look at the best day of your life.

Having grown up with a father who worked in the film industry, filmmaking was always a part of my life. But things really fell into place when I discovered wedding films. In 2012, I graduated from The Los Angeles Film School and soon after, I spent 4 years working on feature films sets. In 2015, I left the industry and started working professionally as Videographer. In 2018, I founded Big Day Production and since then, have shot about 70 weddings. This work is incredibly important to me and be to the documentarian of story is a true honor and responsibility.

Bianca is incredible. She is so kind, loving, and considerate. She is a visionary too - the way she made us pose with the angle of the light or shadows was incredible and awe inspiring. She set a lot of the scenes, found the perfect place for our First Look, and was so inspired by your surroundings. She made us feel so comfortable, that despite us not being a very PDA couple, it all came out with her as witness!! What stands out is our First Look and vineyard coverage, as well as the foray into the field during the sangeet! We have never done anything like that before and Bianca made us feel so confident and gorgeous. Thank you Bianca for being there through all the frustrations, laughs, tears, and joy, and catching it all on video. And finally, we absolutely LOVED the trailer Bianca sent us. We saw it on our first day of our honeymoon and it made our arrival in Greece SO special. We can't wait for what's ahead!!! See you at future weddings, Bianca, and can't wait to see how huge you become. Thank you!!

Bianca puts in such hard work and dedication to her clients. I feel so lucky that it was her that we had document our special day, and we truly cannot thank her enough!
We could not be happier with our video, and her pricing is INCREDIBLE for the quality of work her clients receive.
I will be referring her to ALL of my friends and family.

Bianca was absolutely fantastic. From the initial consultation, to the planning, the wedding day itself and the follow up for video completion afterward, we could not have asked for a more professional, kind, creative, communicative and detail oriented videographer. She listened to our vision so well, and created a stunning wedding video that we look forward to watching over and over again for years to come. Thank you, Bianca!

Bianca was a real angel to work with on my Wedding day. She is very sweet, professional and truly talented. She has a great eye for the shots you didn’t even know you wanted from your wedding day. Bianca captured the real love between my husband and I, as well as all our family and friends celebrating with us. We will forever be able to look back whenever we want to remember the wonderful time we had, thanks to Bianca. You are the best!!!

Bianca was fantastic in covering my niece's wedding. She arrived early and ensured that we captured all the moments that she thought would be important for the day. She was unobtrusive and yet managed to be everywhere at once to get the best shots!! I would HIGHLY recommend her for any event!!!

I hired Bianca as our wedding videographer back in 2019. Working with Bianca was a wonderful experience! She was very responsive via email and easy to get a hold of for questions. Her prices were reasonable and her work was fantastic. I can’t even watch our wedding video without crying it was so well done! She was very professional and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. My husband and I can both be kind of awkward but she directed us so well so we looked natural and relaxed. If you’re looking for a videographer I highly recommend Bianca!

I highly recommend Big Day Productions. I never thought that I would be able to look back on our wedding day in such a beautiful way. Bianca and her crew really captured the essence of our event and didn’t miss a beat. I am beyond thrilled with how the final product turned out, such an incredible treasure that we can share with our kids and grandkids.
