About this vendor
Hey There!
I’m Ed, Your Photographer and Cinematic Videographer. Let’s Make Magic.
My photography/videography journey started with a simple goal: capturing my own story. That search lit a spark. Since then, I’ve honed my craft—clean, timeless, and modern, with a touch of soul.
On your wedding day, I don’t just snap photos—I tell a story. Yours. The big moments. The quiet ones. All captured naturally, effortlessly, and with just enough direction to bring out your best.
When I’m not shooting, I’m a husband, dad of two, gadget nerd, poker player, scooter rider, yoga enthusiast, and travel dreamer. At home, I’m Carlo—a nod to my Grandpa.
Your Story. Fully Told.
A wedding is more than “the shot.” It’s a thousand moments. A story in motion. My job? Turn them into art. Simple. Beautiful. Unforgettable.
Let’s create something timeless.

Ed was phenomenal at communication and punctuality with timelines & day of! I wasn’t sure what to expect of my wedding video but Ed absolutely crushed it & I couldn’t be happier!
I hired Ed to photograph my engagement and it was an incredible experience. Ed truly went above and beyond to ensure it was perfect in every way. He spent time talking with me befo...
rehand and planning everything to every detail beforehand. He also agreed to bring some items/props as part of the proposal, which was very kind of him, and then on the day of he arrived early and then photographed the surprise and stayed with us for a good bit after taking all sorts of fun shots which he directed us to do. The photos turned out spectacular! We loved every single one of them. They were crisp and the colors were perfect. It was a high quality experience and high quality photos, and Ed was one of the nicest and most patient photographers I've ever met. I'd highly recommend him!
I had an amazing photography session with Ed at the SF courthouse! I first met Ed years ago when I lived in San Francisco during my modeling days, and reconnecting for this shoot f...
elt like no time had passed. This time, however, it was even more special—because I was with my fiancé!
It had been a few years since I last modeled, but working with Ed again reminded me why he’s so great at what he does. He’s a master at posing—if you’re unsure what to do, he’ll guide you effortlessly so you never feel awkward in front of the camera.
I can’t recommend him enough! Not only is he incredibly talented and kind, but he also delivers photos within 24 hours, knows the best angles, and always captures you in the most flattering light. If you need a photographer, Ed is your guy!
We cannot thank Ed enough for capturing our special day and creating a video beyond our wildest dreams to commemorate it!
At first, my wife and I were not going to get a videograp...
her for our wedding. Our wedding funds were quickly dwindling, and it was a cost we did not think we could swing. About a month or two before the wedding, we felt a strong desire to have some video footage of the day but needed it to be budget-friendly. We went to a popular Bay Area wedding Facebook group and asked for a budget-friendly videographer. Ed responded, and we were able to easily set up a video call. Ed prefers video calls, which shows his attentiveness and dedication to his clients.
During our first call, he showed us his prior work, which was stunning. He explained his usual pricing, which was way outside of our budget. We were able to negotiate certain video features to lower the price.
On the day of, he showed up on time and was super attentive to us. He worked with our photographer to film our first look, ceremony, first dance, speeches, and much more. Our wedding was in September 2024, and we had the completed video in early November 2024. We watched the video and were SO HAPPY with the final product. He is truly talented and his passion for his art shows through in his product.
I cannot recommend Ed enough! I am so thankful he responded to our Facebook post, and I highly recommend working with him for your big day!!
Thank you Ed!!!!
I honestly can't recommend Ed and ECG Studios enough! From the very start, the entire experience felt effortless and enjoyable. Ed took the time to really listen to us--he asked th...
oughtful questions about what mattered most and the kind of moments we hoped to see in our video. It felt like he genuinely cared about capturing the heart of our day, not just documenting an event. He took our ideas and turned them into something even more beautiful than we could've imagined.
On our wedding day, Ed was an absolute pleasure to work with. He blended in so naturally that it felt like having a friend there, rather than a videographer. We never felt like the camera was intrusive, yet somehow he managed to capture every little moment, even the ones we didn't realize were happening. It was like he was always in the right place at the right time, but without ever making us feel staged or on display.
When we watched the final film, it truly took our breath away. The quality was stunning, but even more than that, the way Ed pieced together all the emotions and memories made us feel like we were reliving the day in the most heartfelt way. We laughed, we cried, and we were reminded of all the love and joy that filled those moments. It wasn't just a wedding video; it was our story, told with such heart and artistry.
If I can offer any advice, it's this: just follow Ed's lead and trust his process. He knows what he's doing, and his vision will exceed your expectations. His passion, dedication, and eye for detail shine through in every frame. Hiring ECG Studios was one of the best choices we made for our wedding--you won't regret it! Thank you soo much again Ed, I think we have watched our video 100x already and it still gets us emotional everytime!
Ed did such an amazing job on our wedding! He was so easy to work with and the quality of the videos were fantastic!!! We would absolutely recommend him!!

00% worth it. It is beautiful work and we are so happy to have our special day on video. Thank you.
I can't express how thrilled we are with Ed's work at ECG Studios! He did an incredible job capturing our wedding photos and videos, leaving us with memories we will cherish foreve...
r. The quality of the files is outstanding—super crisp, high resolution, and perfectly organized. It's evident that Ed invests in top-notch equipment and continuously hones his skills, which really shows in his work.
Ed's creativity shone through in every shot, making our wedding videos and photos truly unique and special. We were referred to him by our retired photographer friend, and we couldn't be happier with the recommendation. Ed exceeded our expectations in every way.
The package we chose was definitely worth every penny. If you want to relive the moments of your special day in the most beautiful way, Ed is the photographer for you. Remember, you only live these moments once in your life! Thank you, Ed, for capturing our day so perfectly! S&J 05.2024
I was already very familiar with Ed's great work as a photographer, so I knew our wedding photos would be beautiful, and they were! However, he went above and beyond gorgeous photo...
graphy. From the day we booked him to our wedding day, I really felt like he had our back and made sure we had the best and easiest experience possible. We found him to be an excellent communicator, well prepared, and proactive in guiding us through the whole process. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but thanks to Ed, the photography part of ours was one of the easiest and most pleasant. Not to mention, I was amazed at how quickly our photos were delivered. He's a professional through and through, and I absolutely recommend him!
Ed came highly recommended from two of our friends that got married last year and he didn't disappoint. On our first call with him we were a little new to the wedding planing proce...
ss and weren't exactly sure about what we wanted in a video. Ed was very insightful and asked us the right questions in making sure that he captured everything that we needed on our wedding day.
Fast forward to the wedding day, Ed and Duy were very professional and flexible with our schedule even after we had some major timeline changes the day before the wedding. As the groom, I'll admit that I'm not very photogenic and don't do well around cameras. They were very friendly and patient in making sure that I was comfortable filming throughout the day-- providing a fun tone that kept me relaxed and providing light hearted conversation when I needed it. Even as the day didn't go according to schedule, Ed and Duy were able to roll with the punches and managed to keep both bride and groom calm and collected, while providing photo/video ideas that we would never have thought of.
Although we haven't seen the final product yet, we are confident that they will deliver an outstanding video to us.
Ed is amazing.
The films he put together for us are beautiful, and capture us and the day so well. We have watched them countless times, even catching details we missed the day o...
f! He got the shots effortlessly and put a beautiful film together for us, and quickly too. We are very picky people and Ed delivered 110%!
The perfect blend of artistic and pragmatic, Ed was on top of it from day one, and provided us with just the right amount of communication to ensure that our day went smoothly, touching base with us and very efficiently clarifying and calling out important details when needed (even if we didn't know we needed it!)
He is a consummate professional, calm and confident, and got so many amazing shots with zero fuss. Watching the video I am again amazed at what he was able to capture in such a fun way, even with our super packed schedule. With shooting technique he was superb, and focused on great audio in addition to great video, and on the artistic side, he listened to our requests and feedback eagerly, understanding and elevating the elements we wanted in our video while putting his own touch on it to make it even better. He always went above and beyond, making sure to get every crucial shot, and really worked with us to make our day great.
He gave us huge confidence, even on such a hectic day. Thank you Ed! We feel so lucky that we had you to capture our wedding!
Our wedding had 2 locations (Nor and So Cal) over 2 weekends and it was really important to me that my videos and photos were all the same "style". I feel very lucky that we found ...
Ed because he was able to put a small team together and make it all work out logistically (and for a reasonable price). We are so happy with our photos and video!
In the months leading up to our wedding, Ed took the time to meet with myself and my husband to discuss our shot list and overall logistics. Those meetings were super helpful because he was able to handle things on his own on the day of without much direction from me. As someone who planned her own wedding and did not rely on a day-of coordinator, I really appreciated Ed being self-sufficient.
Thank you for everything, Ed! Looking forward to working with you again in the future.
Ed has to be the best photographer I've ever worked with. I use to model when I was younger for three years and had an idea of what types of photos I wanted. He was efficient, comm...
unicative and friendly. He made my wedding day extra special. I highly recommend Ed for wedding photography. I could not have asked for a more perfect person to work with and to capture my special day. He gave direction, worked well with my vendors, and felt like he was part of my family. I have so many beautiful photos to choose from and I am so grateful!
Working with Ed was a fantastic experience. Ed is an great communicator and is one of the most easy people to work with ever! He has such great service and does amazing videography...
work. When you work with Ed you feel that he really listens and does anything necessary to be sure that you as the client have a positive experience in working with him. In addition to videography Ed also offer photography services. He is professional, versatile and provided great service. Ed will get the job done and do it well. Thank you Ed!
Best experience ever! We worked with Ed for our wedding photos this past weekend. These are some of the most important photos you will want to capture and Ed did an amazing job. Fr...
om the beginning, Ed was super responsive, attentive, and organized. He is not only a talented photographer, but so easy to work with and solely cares about getting you that memorable shot. I can't wait to see our photos and video this summer! Definitely hire Ed for your upcoming wedding--highest recommendation!
Thorough, accommodating, professional and an awesome eye. Ed is the whole package. :-) He was our photographer for our brass ensemble's Holiday concert at the Mountain View Center ...
for the Performing Arts (quadre.org). In addition to snapping shots throughout the performance from every possible angle, he took some wonderful candids before and after the show as well as a few portraits prior to the opening curtain. We have worked with a lot of photographers in our 24 year history. Ed did a superlative job!! What really set him apart was his followup before and after the show. Meeting with me and our managing director ahead of time to go over the shot list. And doing some retouching and edits of the shots that were taken to ensure that we were completely satisfied. Highly recommend him for your event.
My husband and I got married in November 2019 and really I can’t say enough good things about Ed. If you are on the fence about booking a videographer DO IT and book with him. We h...
adn’t originally planned to have one, and are so thankful we did. Ed’s work is stunning. We have been able to relive our wedding day over and over again. My husband and I (and even some of our friends and family) were literally in tears watching our highlight reel, reliving the magic of our wedding day. He captured all of the emotions and just watching makes me feel all of those feelings again just like on that day. On your wedding day, things are going to be a whirlwind, beautiful and amazing, but a blur. It is amazing to have such an incredible video, allowing us to see things we may have missed, and relive the moments that went by too fast. Ed is fantastic so just do your future self and family a favor and work with Ed, you won’t regret it!!
Ed was amazing. He captured our day better than we could’ve dreamed up. He wa easy to work with, flexible with our family/party and really took his time with us. Purely professiona...
l and still made us feel comfortable during photos.
Not to mention we had all of our edited photos in less than 24 hours after our ceremony at city hall!
I would recommend him anytime for any occasion! :)
Ed is fantastic! We hired him as our videographer for our wedding this past fall after seeing some of his past work on his website weddingsandmotion.com
Ed was very patient and ...
flexible throughout the whole process. He was also able to accommodate our request to obtain the raw footage. We were planning our wedding from out of state and Ed was always very responsive and easy to get in touch with. Clear upfront pricing. He made great suggestions to help us maximize the filming time that was within our budget. Super easy going and worked well with our photographer. And the final product is beautiful!
Let me first say that Ed is the best! We hired him to be our photographer for our engagement and wedding. He was willing to work with our requests and was very good at communicatin...
g with us. Before we did our photo shoots , I was so so nervous since I'm pretty camera shy, but Ed made me and my fiance (now husband) feel comfortable. All of our photos turned out great! Ed was very professional and amazed us with the quality and quick turn around time for our photos! We are very very pleased with his services and we would love to hire him again for future milestones/events. You won't regret hiring him!
Hiring Ed was one of the most stress-free and easy parts of planning my wedding. While he was initially a photographer, he also does cinematography at Weddings and Motion Cinematog...
raphy. It took us a while to decide whether we wanted to hire a videographer, but once we made that decision, everything else was a breeze. We reached out to him after he was recommended to us by our photographer. From the first contact with Ed, he was extremely responsive to any questions I had, and he was able to put together a customized package that perfectly fit our wants, including providing us with the raw footage.
Leading up to the wedding day, he made sure that we communicated about the day's timeline, and that we clearly discussed anything that we really wanted to make sure was captured. We felt at ease knowing that he cared and was truly invested in producing a video of our dreams.
The final product is beyond what we could have asked for. Our highlight video captures the emotions of the day so wonderfully. Watching it together, my husband and I were transported back to those precious moments surrounded by family and friends. I'm so glad that we decided to hire a videographer, and I couldn't be happier that we trusted Weddings and Motion Cinematographers with capturing our special day.

as well as my go to photographer for not only my acting and modeling work, but I also used him for my wedding photos last year. His work continues to blow me away with his unique eye, knowledge of light, and awesome personality.

His work speaks for itself, you will not be disappointed!
