About this vendor
I shoot every wedding by myself with one camera. No paparazzi taking over. No lights shining in your eye. A wedding isn’t a movie set. I’m there to document the wedding day without drawing attention to myself. I shoot things as they happen. I don’t direct things to tell people what to do. I focus on people and action. I carefully capture multiple sources of natural sound. The result is a documentary style video that buautifully captures your wedding day. I record every important part of the day and many moments in between. The most important parts like the ceremony and speeches are captured in their entirety. In between those parts, I capture details and candid moments.

I debated whether I wanted a videographer for our wedding for quite a while. I didn’t want to drop a ton of money on a short music video as a lot of other companies advertise because I preferred something less “cinematic”/was looking for more of a “documentary/authentic style” of the highlights and ceremony.
Graham (Final Frame) was the perfect fit! He is very professional and readily available for any questions, etc. He has a quicker turnaround for the video which is a bonus, and I really liked that his presence was very subtle (doesn’t feel like you’re on a movie set with a ton of bulky equipment). He edited a wonderful video (documentary edit), and I feel like I really get to relive the wedding day, and I love that I get to re-watch all the speeches/special moments of us with our friends and family. One of my favorite parts is that he will interview the guests (optional) and you get to hear and see family/friends video messages. It was awesome and really special. I’d highly recommend Graham! He is excellent!
We hired Graham as our videographer for our wedding last year, and he did such an amazing job! We were so happy with the footage he got (he always found the best place to shoot from while just kind of blending in, I often didn’t notice where he was during the day) and how everything was edited together so nicely and seamlessly. He was also great with all the communication leading up the wedding and was really accommodating when we had to reschedule a couple of times during the pandemic.
We hired Graham for our videography in late 2019 for our June 2020 wedding, but then the pandemic hit and we had to postpone. Graham was incredibly supportive and flexible. Graham is very responsive and easy to work with.
The day of our June 2021 wedding, Graham showed up on time and got right to work. You hardly even know he's there, which is exactly what we wanted from a videographer. He films "documentary style" and gets all the parts of the day that are such a blur to the bride and groom. My favorite thing about his style is the interviews he does with the bride and groom separately and the interviews he does with guests. It's such a nice touch that makes watching the video even more special.
Graham is so affordable given the INCREDIBLE work that he does. I can't believe some people don't get a videographer for their wedding as it was such a special experience to rewatch our day through the eyes of our guests. My sister used Graham a few years ago, and I will be recommending Graham to every future bride and groom. His work is stunning, he doesn't interfere or get in the way, and he adds special touches that make the video even more fun to watch.
Thank you so much Graham!!
We hired Graham as our videographer for our wedding in early May, 2021. He was very flexible after we had to postpone our wedding due to Covid. Graham is professional, responsive, on time, and produced a great video that we absolutely love. He is very easy to work with and made an edit we wanted on the video without any issues. He also did some interviews with our wedding party and parents for the video that made it very special. We are so happy that we have this video to remember our wedding day. We would 100% recommend Graham as a videographer for future events.
We ended up doing a last minute small wedding (just us and our kids) at a local park since Covid-19 prevented us from having our big wedding at our venue. We still wanted to get married on our set wedding day and Graham was so accommodating. He was able to capture our ceremony so beautifully. We watch the video over and over again and we are so impressed with his video documentary. We really enjoyed working with Graham!
BOOK NOW! I promise you won't regret it. I initially was debating on whether or not to have a videographer at all because I don't like watching myself on camera and feel cringy about it. But OMG Graham did an amazing job and it was literally my most favorite thing from our wedding! We got the 2 song package and also a clean 4 hour edit which is also a super amazing video in itself. I love his unique videography style, it's very artistic and he is just too darn talented. He captured all the little details & fun moments we had. I would surely book him again in a heart beat. Two of my cousins actually had Graham do their weddings as well and they both feel the same about what a great job he does. Graham is very easy to work with and super professional. The day goes by so fast it was so nice to have his video edit from our wedding day to look back on. Not only is his work amazing it's a really really good price too! I honestly can't think of anything negative to say. I would totally recommend him 110%.
We knew we wanted our wedding video to be something we could treasure for years to come and not just a short clip we would post on social media, which is why it meant so much to us to hire a videographer that could film a documentary that truly captured all the little moments that made up our big day. We were thrilled to find Graham and are so thankful we hired him! We've already watched our video in its entirety over 5 times since receiving it a couple months ago! He did such an incredible job of blending in seamlessly and capturing every little moment at our wedding. It's amazing how much one videographer could capture! We're so happy we had Graham interview our wedding guests too- we've laughed so hard at the funny things they said and are also blown away by the great on-the-spot wedding guest advice. We really appreciated how every clip in the video has something happening- he edited it perfectly without editing anything important out. Thanks, Graham!
I’m so happy I picked Graham to shoot our wedding video. Everything was smooth, from initial consult - our wedding day. The day was beautiful and he captured all the special moments and our loved ones. The video was shot so naturally. Thank you Graham! We’ll keep our video forever. 💕
We LOVED working with Graham. From the get-go he was responsive and understood what was important to us- I loved the interviews in what I saw online. The day of he was with us the entire time. He put a mic on my husband which captured so many wonderful, funny and unexpected comments. My husband didn't realize the mic was on and it was so fun to hear his genuine and candid reactions throughout our first look and the day! Graham did a great job of capturing and including the important people and family (even though he had only just met us!). The entire family is so thrilled with the video we have already watched it multiple times, it is almost better than the still photos! For anyone unsure whether to invest in a wedding video - DO IT! and hire Graham!! I promise you will not soon regret it.
Our wedding video was AMAZING due to Graham's work. I cannot stop watching it. It truly captures the spirit and emotion of our day. In addition to capturing the entire day in a non intrusive way (a big advantage of having a single camera) - he caught many candid moments that we weren't able to experience for ourselves that day that were amazing to watch. He was very professional and responsive in all communications. And was super helpful day of, even taking my dress from one location to the next!! We loved his video style and quality and were so pleased with the final product!
Graham was wonderful to work with from start to finish. He was extremely responsive and professional leading up to our wedding which made us feel confident we were in good hands. The different video packages offered by final frame were just enough video to help us remember the big day but didn't break the bank. Highly recommended!
We had absolutely no stress with Graham on our wedding day 5/27/19. Sorry for the late review Graham! We ended up moving shortly after our big day and everything has been a whirlwind! We are so glad that we chose Graham because he was professional, fun, and on point with everything. From the deposit to the wedding day, it was all absolutely relaxed and stressed free. Check out his packages. The price is right along with the quality!! You won't be disappointed. Thank you Graham!
My husband and I got married a few months ago with Graham as our videographer, and we are so glad we made that choice!! I’ve attended other weddings with video and/or photo teams that used several large pieces of equipment, and it always tends to be downright distracting. When planning our wedding, my husband and I had four things we were looking for in our videographer… 1) nothing obnoxiously distracting, 2) we still wanted high production quality 3) we wanted raw footage of everything, not just highlights, and 4) affordability. Final Frame checked ALL of those boxes. As advertised, it was easy to forget that Graham was even there at times, allowing us to fully enjoy our day without the distraction of the paparazzi. And instead of plain raw footage, we got the Documentary Edit, which is basically all the raw footage put together into one long movie––so even better than what we originally wanted! What we received is beautiful, exactly what we had hoped for, and definitely got the tears flowing!
We love Graham! His documentary cut was perfect; he caught so many great moments throughout the day and created something that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We were so impressed that he was able to capture all that as only one person filming! I also highly recommend getting the guest interviews; they ranged from sweet to funny and added to the memories. Thank you Graham for capturing our day so beautifully.
After searching far and wide in 2018 for a videographer, I found Graham. If you are on the fence about hiring a videographer in general, let me say that it's the best investment; especially when it comes to your special day. We just received our wedding video back from Graham, and we were over the moon, smiling ear to ear, re-living our amazing day. The wedding day goes by really fast, so we were glad that he captured moments that we missed. We are so happy with Graham and his services because of the quality of his work. He captures every special moment. Nothing is planned or rehearsed. His vision is to capture everything candidly, which are the best moments. Throughout the day, he manages to keep himself invisible, making us feel comfortable and at ease. Graham's documentary style filming is unique and thoughtful at the same time. He offers different packages and is super reasonably priced. Overall, Graham is a great person to work with and extremely professional. We definitely recommend him, hands down!! Thanks Graham for everything!
A Great Investment, Hands Down!
First and foremost, couples hire a videographer for their wedding not because it's just a thing to do but because they are investing in someone to help them remember their day. And what a great investment I made when hiring Graham to be our videographer for our wedding.
We were fortunate to work with Graham for our ceremony and reception at Casa Bella Event Center in Sunol, CA. We were fortunate because Graham is not only easy to work with but also he is great at his job. He was personable and our wedding documentary edit was absolutely incredible. He captured moments even we missed because we were on the dance floor or on the other side of the room. Literally, a third pair of eyes! I highly recommend Graham!
Tip - it's always easier on everyone if your videographer and photographer have worked together!
-Peter and Christine
Graham is very personable and provides one of the best values we could have found for a documentary style wedding video. His shooting style is delicate and does not give the impression of a large scale production. We wanted someone that would blend in with our wedding guests and would be able to capture moments we may have not seen.
We are more than pleased with the outcome of the documentary. We received a fully edited 2 hour video of our big day within two-months. We really enjoyed working with Graham and in terms of vendors and staff that you may have to affiliate with during your wedding planning, he was the easiest and most responsive to our questions on concerns.
We would recommend Graham to anyone that is looking for a documentary style wedding video without any doubt.
Graham was splendid to work with. He was recommended to us by our photographer, and we're super grateful. When we were looking through his portfolio, my DH was most excited by the fact that most of his highlight reels were upbeat and fun, rather than slow and romantic. He got fantastic footage the day of the wedding, especially considering he was only one man, with only one camera. He collaborated with us on picking a perfect "cinematic" score for our highlight reel, and both it and the 2-hour+ documentary edit he sent us were fabulous. We look forward to watching our videos over and over for the rest of our lives!
Graham was the videographer for our wedding back in November. He was always very quick to respond to any questions we had before our big day and made the process easy. On our wedding day he was able to capture everything we wanted. He blended in and also managed to film some fun candid moments of our guests which we will treasure forever. Thank you again Final Frame Studios!!
We had been searching for a videographer for a couple months when we came across Graham at Final Frame Studios. After watching his documentary edits online, we realized it was exactly what we were looking for. Graham did an excellent job capturing the moments we wanted to remember most about our wedding day. He was responsive and professional throughout the entire process and what's most impressive is how stealth he was. We didn't even realize he was there at times, but he somehow managed to capture those moments. When we watched our documentary edit it was like reliving our special day all over again. Thank you Graham!
Thank you, Graham, for capturing all the magical moments on our wedding day!!!!! He is the BEST and we would highly recommend him for anyone's wedding or event. He is very detailed, professional, and very nice. His work is EXCELLENT!!!!
My husband and I got married in Novato back in October 2018 and hired Graham to document our special day. We were lucky to have worked with an amazing team of vendors--everybody was wonderful! With that said, one thing that I must say about Graham is that he was THE most on-time vendor out of all. He is also very professional and knowledgeable about filming weddings. The day was extremely busy, but I did not have to worry about Graham because he'd communicated with the DJ beforehand and was familiar with the venue. It was such a relief to know that we can just enjoy the day and trust our videographer to document the important moments.
The process:
Not only was he professional, but he was also very punctual. I visited his website and sent an email to inquire about his services. I received a response the very next morning to set up an in-person meeting at his home office. We had the option to do a phone interview, but my husband and I wanted to meet him in person to get a better sense of his personality and style. When we arrived at his home, we were happy to find that he's also a family man. He was prepared for the meeting and walked us through the process. He talked about the timeline, lighting, sound, etc. We decided to hire him right then and he emailed us a contract. We paid a 50% deposit as a retainer and to save the date, then the balance on the day-of. We were promised a delivery date exactly 2 months after the wedding and he sent follow-up emails after that to assure us that it will arrive by December. He sent us instructions on how to download the video properly and made it super easy!
The product:
We are so glad that we hired Graham! We asked for drone coverage and he delivered that! We LOVED the "interviews". If you are thinking of hiring him and he asks if you want him to conduct interviews with the wedding guests during the cocktail hour, do it! You won't regret it! We had no idea who he interviewed and what they said. When we got the video, we were laughing and crying at the responses. (Some of our guests even sang to us!)
In addition to that, my mother-in-law fell during the Mother and Son dance. We asked if he could possibly edit that out in the video and transition it seamlessly. We knew that it would add extra work, but he did it without hesitation.
If you are worried about the sound, don't be. I've been to a lot of outdoor ceremonies where you can barely hear the bride and groom when they speak. On top of that, you hear a lot of interference with the microphone. That was not the case with our video even though our ceremony was outdoors and it was very windy that day. The sound was amazingly clear! Graham was the one who clipped the microphone onto my husband's lapel and it was enough for it to amplify the sound for both him and I during the readings. His equipment was superb. My father-in-law teaches Audio/Visual (for concerts) at UC Davis and when he watched the video, he was impressed with the sound.
Graham definitely has a can-do attitude and will make things happen. We cannot wait to make copies of our video to share with family and friends!
When searching for a wedding videographer, I originally only wanted only a highlight video. I came across Graham's website and LOVED his highlight reels. Actually, they were the best I've seen to be completely honest, and I searched a lot. After discussing everything with my family/friends and even Graham himself, we decided to go with the Documentary Edit and I think that was the best decision we made! We recently got our wedding video (a little over 2 hours) and we watched it repeatedly since getting it. It's THAT good. He captured everyone at the wedding and even "interviewed" several of our closest friends and family members during cocktail hour. Our wedding video also consisted of us getting ready, first look, some photo moments, the whole wedding ceremony, speeches, first dance, father/daughter dance, mother/son dance, cake cutting, bouquet toss, garter toss, guests dancing, and other unqiue things that we incorporated in our wedding (dove release, friend singing a song for us, etc!).
Graham was awesome to work with. He was in frequent contact with me throughout the whole process: discussing his different packages in detail, answering any questions I had, and working with the day-of-coordinator/venue with any info that they needed him to complete. He showed up to meet us on time and stayed throughout all the important events in our wedding. We are extremely satisfied with the finished product and can't thank Graham enough for his hard work, dedication, and skills!
I discovered Graham in 2011 and have been following him since...in hopes to book him one day for my wedding. Well that day finally came! I reached out to Graham to see what his packages include and he was very responsive. Initially we were only going to book his basic package which just includes the documentary edit but as I discussed further with my husband, he really wanted the highlight reel. Best decision ever! I love his cinematic approach. We provide Graham a song for our highlight reel and he recommended on choosing a slower (bpm) song choice….but we were really set on that song because it had deeper meaning to our love story. My husband and I were beyond ecstatic in the results as Graham was able to make it work. When you meet him you can tell that he is passionate about his work. I loved how well he and our photographer got along and did not get in each other’s way. Graham exceeded our expectations. Words cannot describe how grateful we are to have him be a part of our special day. Watching our documentary edit helps us relive the moment and I can’t help but cry every single time I watch our highlight reel.
Thank you Graham!
We booked Graham at final Frame Studios for our wedding back in October. We were looking for a documentary style videographer for our wedding because we wanted to keep our video down to earth and didn't want a big filming crew around. Graham made this come true for us and his amazing work captured our day perfectly. He uses one camera, works alone on the wedding day and amazingly captured every special moment with such great quality footage. He even worked with our DJ for exceptional sound, made our guests feel comfortable during their short interviews, while we didn't even notice he was there. We can relive our wedding day at any point in time now and we are so happy we made the right choice!
This review is long overdue! (Sorry, Graham). Graham covered our wedding in May this year, and while we hadn't originally planned a video, I'm so happy we decided to secure his services for the big day. Watching the video and looking back, there were so many wonderful memories he captured that my and husband wouldn't have been able to take in all by ourselves. Graham was wonderful to work with. He got along great with our photographers, and was totally incognito throughout the day. He is a total professional and very talented - his edits to the end result are simply beautiful. I highly recommend investing in his services!
When searching for a videographer, I wanted a cool highlight reel of my wedding. But after hearing about Graham, we started watching some of his videos and really liked his style of shooting weddings. After meeting with Graham and learning more about his philosophies on shooting wedding videos, we decided to make the plunge and go with Graham.
Overall, there aren't enough words to say that would do justice on how great it was to work with Graham. He was very quick to answer any e-mails or questions as the wedding approached. His communication and planning were spot on and was able to move around seamlessly in our crowded wedding. After a while, Graham did his job so well that we almost forgot that he was capturing every moment.
As for the video itself, it captured everything great about our day. We went with the documentary edit, which gave us 4.5 hours of our 12+ hour day. Besides capturing the usual necessities of the wedding, Graham caught a ton of the little things that made it enjoyable to watch. For example: some interviews from our wedding guests, random candid moments of our guests, and even random people in the background doing the funniest things. Everything was in high quality video and sound....so high quality, Graham captured all my heavy breathing due to my nerves haha.
With that said, the documentary edit may not be for everyone. But if you choose to go with this style, I would definitely recommend it. We loved our documentary edit so much that we're considering getting a highlight reel for our friends to enjoy our special day with us.
ps: Thanks Graham for having your knife on you to help remove the tag. I definitely appreciate it!
We were so lucky to find Graham for our wedding day. We had been looking for videographers for weeks trying to find one that would capture the real moments and was affordable. Sadly, no one was. We found their filming styles too cheesy, over-the-top, or simply lacking in quality. With Graham we found everything we were looking for. His documentary style pays deep attention to the craft of filming. His list of overplayed songs that he wanted to avoid when making the video was a great help and showed how much he cared about producing a quality product. That was what convinced us to go with Graham, because we didn’t want the same overplayed songs to be used in our video. He was also much more affordable than other videographers and kept in touch up until the big day. On the day of the wedding, he was there early and was ready to film. He captured the important moments perfectly and with great audio quality. The questions he asked our guests were insightful for the day and we absolutely loved their responses. The final product was amazing and the highlight video was our favorite. Graham worked well with us in achieving our vision for the day and we couldn’t have asked for a better videographer.
Graham is an awesome videographer and did such a great job on our wedding video! I'm so grateful that he captured every special moment from our day. I cried for joy a few times as I watched the video for the first time. It was so wonderful to be able to actually see what our wedding day looked like since being in your own wedding is a completely different experience from being a guest and you're bound to miss moments in the whirlwind of the day. I particularly loved the interviews he did of our friends and family during the cocktail hour. I was incredibly impressed and surprised that he got an interview with my 92-year old grandma who has dementia. It was amazing to see her answer his questions so well and he captured her in perfectly glowing sunlight. Graham obviously took a lot of care to include her in this way. And just as he told us, he really didn't interrupt anything about our wedding day at all by filming. I barely noticed that he was there. Future brides and grooms, I highly recommend having Graham as your videographer! You won't regret it and you'll have precious memories to watch and re-watch for a lifetime!
A video of the most important day in your life is a treasure. And the description of Graham's documentary edit was what convinced our son and future daughter-in-law to agree. (They were shy of other videographers who add dramatic music and dramatic flourishes from canned footage.) The final product has been way beyond our expectations. In this documentary, a true record of our son and daughter-in-law on their special day, the quality of the filming and the sound are spectacular. Graham was never in the way or obtrusive, yet guests shared touching messages for the bride and groom with him, that are now preserved for posterity. The whole family has enjoyed seeing special moments that we missed on that hectic day. And we wholeheartedly recommend Graham!
From Start to finish Graham was wonderful to work with! He made my husband and I very comfortable and reassured us everything would be great! He did not disappoint! Our documentary edit is amazing! We love reliving our day through his work! It's extremely impressive that one man can capture every moment of our special day! We would and have already recommenced Graham to friends and family!
We hadn't originally planned to have video, but a couple of months before our wedding date we were persuaded by some friends who had recently gotten married that it would be worth the investment.
We did a lot of research on tons of Bay Area videographers, contacted maybe half a dozen of them, and ended up speaking with three over the phone before we decided to go with Final Frame. Graham seemed the most detail-oriented and experienced, and had shot at our venue before. We also really liked his work, and his stellar reviews won us over in the end.
We are incredibly happy with the result and so glad we hired Graham! We ended up going with the documentary edit, which gave us 3 hours of beautifully shot and lightly edited high quality video to memorialize our wedding day. Beyond all of the basics (ceremony, first dance, speeches, etc) Graham also captured tons of special little moments between us, as well as with our families and friends, and even interviewed our wedding guests for the video. It turned out wonderfully and way better than we could have ever expected, and our family and friends really enjoyed watching with us too.
Graham was a pleasure to work with in many ways, beyond the quality of his videography. He was prompt in answering emails and questions in the weeks leading up to our wedding as we figured out all of the details, was on top of the schedule day-of and the opposite of intrusive, and delivered our video within the promised time frame.
We highly recommend Graham for wedding videography -- you won't regret your choice!!
Working with Graham was truly a pleasure. I have often found wedding videos to be excessive on the showmanship, resembling movies that seem overdone and a bit trite. I knew that if I were going to invest in a videographer, I wanted someone who could take footage that would allow me to rewatch the material and be moved by something different each time.
Graham was the professional that we needed. With his “one-man, one-camera” style of videography, he was capably present during the day when we needed him to be without being intrusive whatsoever. Graham ensured that he captured both critical and candid moments as they occurred. Graham indicated that many clients sometimes forget that he is there actively filming for eight hours. This is a far cry from so many weddings featuring a movie style with disruptive lights, large equipment, and a host of staff, which in my opinion really detract from the intimacy and the joy of observing an innocent, unadulterated, undoctored event. Graham is also very experienced. He understands how being videotaped can be uncomfortable, let alone at a setting that evokes such strong emotions and invites organizational chaos like a wedding. Graham’s calming presence is a quality that cannot be understated, which quickly allowed everyone featured in the video to feel at ease and act as naturally (with excitement and anticipation) as possible. Even when an awkward moment or pause might have started to arise, Graham made sure to ask questions and encourage certain actions, angles, and activities so that he could film moments that he knew his clients would value.
Put simply, Graham’s documentary style is spectacular and watching it offers a delightful experience. The small sounds, rustles of the wind, birds chirping, and shuffling of feet as the bridal party and close family members anticipated the upcoming celebration, are just a few of the memories that allow me to relive the wedding in both conscious and subconscious ways. His documentary style truly depicts the wedding in all of its raw beauty and intimacy, without themed music or unnecessary flair that detract from these virtues. And by raw footage, please know that Graham’s work is a professional and highly edited product. In other words, the documentary style is a true work of art, free from any shakiness or broken sequences. The work is carefully streamlined to allow for a realtime revisiting of the day in its entirety. Not only is the artistic quality of Graham’s work superior to the movie-style videos that my friends have commissioned at higher prices, but Graham is able to effortlessly capture the small and fleeting moments—ones that add context, candid delicateness, and a true commemoration of the event—in such a way that can only be effectuated by an individual with a minimalist approach. Graham shot the fluttering of hair, the forming of tears, the crinkle of smiles, all with an artist’s eye to create a fantastic wedding documentary. As to logistics, Graham was prompt with his delivery and provided the videos in a variety of options, resolution, and segments. I particularly appreciated how Graham divided up the footage into six smaller and logically-divided clips, which allowed for easy downloading and retaining on a USB Drive and for facilitated sharing.
Graham makes booking transparent, is confident, and will provide you with a unique wedding video that will bring you continuing joy for the rest of your married lives.
Our friend referred us to Graham after they used him for their own wedding, and we are SO thankful! We are beyond impressed with his work on our special day - his talent comes through every moment of the video. We had no idea we would get such a piece of art when we chose a documentary-style videographer. He captured moments we never knew would be so important for telling the story of our day. The quality of the video is superb, and all of our vendors loved working with him. We would highly recommend to Graham to any couple, or anyone looking for any kind of filming!
My wife and I got married June 2nd and Graham was phenomenal as our videographer. He captured the day perfectly with clear sound and perfect picture quality. He showed up on time and stayed with us afterward and filmed some of the after-party!
Booking with Graham and working with him prior to the wedding was wonderful. I was able to meet him in person and he was very responsive over both phone and email. Would highly recommend him to anyone we know!
Our DJ recommended Graham and at first we were a little skeptical because we thought, how could one cameraman capture everything we wanted. I don’t know how he did it but he did; Graham was amazing! He listened to all of our requests prior to the wedding and literally gave us exactly what we wanted. Our family can be a little camera shy so we explained that we didn’t want them to feel bombarded and that we wanted everything to be very candid. He worked well with all of our vendors and he was discrete walking into the rooms so we didn’t feel awkward filming. Given that our photographer is my uncle from the east coast we were nervous they haven’t worked together before but they worked great together. Graham moved in and out of various rooms, filmed all of the important moments, captured our vows, the toasts, our first dance, etc. I did not even know he was there half the time. He was very pleasant to work with and we felt like he’s one of our friends attending the wedding. The entire video was candid just how we wanted and we absolutely love it! We highly recommend Graham! Videography is a big expense but I can tell you it was worth it because we will have this visual memory forever. There are so many moments that we never saw until we watched our video. It is so special having our entire day captured from the moment I arrived until our final dance. Thank you Graham. - Karen & Eric
I'm trying to find words to describe Graham's talent but i am fumbling. We are absolutely blown away with everything he was able to capture. His documentary style edit, and highlight reels are so so amazing. His style is magnificent and superb. Our video has been highly requested amongst our families and friends. And, we are so proud to show it off!! Thank you for giving us this gift we can share for a lifetime. You are a gifted soul.

My wife and I had our wedding on September 2nd and Graham was there to film every special moment. Prior to the wedding, Graham was attentive to all our needs through phone and email consultations.
On our wedding day, Graham was on time and was there to capture every highlight on film. He stayed behind the scenes throughout the ceremony and reception and made sure to coordinate with our photographer and DJ.
My wife and I were blown away by his professional and friendly nature. The final video was fantastic and will be forever cherished by us and our families. Highly recommended!
We used Graham for our wedding video in Nov 2017 and we absolutely loved his work. Everything was well captured. We really appreciated his time and talent. It was so nice re-living the magic of the day and he really captured it perfectly and now we can enjoy it for years to come! :-) He provided the video exactly when he said he would (within 2 months). Even during the day itself, we really appreciated his professionalism and thoroughness. He was un-intrusive, I hardly saw him throughout the day but he was there getting all the key moments on video. It's amazing what he can do with one camera :-) Highly recommend using him!!
My mother injured her back just a few days before the wedding and was not able to travel out. Knowing that there would be video footage made the news much more bearable. On its 'insurance' merits alone, I recommend that you hire a videographer if your budget allows it.
As to the specific videographer, Graham has a great touch with the camera-shy; he promised us that we wouldn't even notice him after the first few minutes, and he was right. It was painless, but more importantly he did a great job with the final edit. Calm, intimate moments beforehand, shots celebrating the chaos of family, and judicious editing of the last few hours of the reception. Top notch all around!
Thank you Graham, for the lovely video, and for celebrating our day with us!
After receiving the videos, this is what I wrote to Graham:
---------------------
Hi Graham,
These are BEAUTIFUL!!!! You captured the entire day and did a GREAT
job with the edits, especially with the ceremony. Thank you SO MUCH
for creating a living, lasting memory for us.
Robert & Diana
Videography was the last vendor we booked for our July wedding. It wasn't a priority and thought we could live without it, but are so glad we went with our gut. Graham was the only videographer we considered and it all worked out perfectly.
Before our wedding, we met to just go over simple details Much of our correspondence was via email. I wasn't quite sure what to expect and didn't know what questions to ask, but it all worked out because Graham seriously makes it EASY. We had nothing to worry about.
On the day of the wedding, I barely noticed Graham was there (in a good way of course!) He was very warm with us and everyone and surprised us with a thing (which I shouldn't give away).
Graham got us our documentary edit by the deadline and downloading was a piece of cake. It took under 10 minutes. We have been enjoying each part over time, so we have not finished it all yet. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect with a doc edit, but we are thoroughly impressed with how cohesive it was put together. He truly made a story. We love his cinematographic approach and found his perspectives and angles artistic. What was also surprising is how much his mic picked up when we were saying our vows. I whispered things not knowing that it was caught! We were concerned that we missed people and details with our photographs, but Graham makes it up and helps us to relive things we may have missed.
We highly recommend Graham!!
Thank you, Graham King from Final Frame Studios, for being our wedding videographer! When we were searching initially for videographers, we noticed that the majority of the companies advertised the 3-5 minute video as their main package and would add full coverage videos at an extra premium cost (ie. the full ceremony, speeches, special dances). My partner and I were less interested in the short video because we wanted to go back and visit the entire day! Additionally, when we were previewing these companies videos, we noticed that many of them superimposed different songs over the video coverage instead of using the audio from the actual event. My husband and I were very deliberate in our choices of songs for each moment of the wedding and we wanted the video to capture that. Graham was one of the only companies offering full wedding coverage as a main package and would use the audio from the actual event in the video. His style is a lot like a home video, but much more professional! Graham is extremely well prepared too. The most important part of the ceremony for us was the live music performance put on by members of our wedding party. We were concerned that the sound quality of these performances would be subpar since the ceremony was outside and unfortunately the microphones went out during our ceremony. There was no need for us to worry! Graham prepared for the worst and when we finally saw the video we were blown away with the quality of the video and the sound! Thank you so much for capturing these important moments for us! Another important aspect of the video to us was interviewing certain guests. We had A LOT people on this list and Graham, even though he stated some concern with getting to everyone, he was able to do it! He also included footage of me and my husband giving special messages to each other! Graham is a quite presence, very professional and extremely easy to work with. We would recommend him to anyone who wants a beautiful full-length video of their special event!
Working with Graham was an extraordinary part of our wedding day and entire wedding experience. In the beginning, we were uncertain if videography would be part of our wedding--we wanted to keep an intimate feel and the idea of a camera crew following us around sounded too impersonal. And then we found Graham. His style was everything we hoped for. From the moment we first spoke with Graham, it was clear that he knew what he was doing. His professionalism, quick response, and experience were evident when he was able to answer what seemed like 3238 of our questions. He worked with us to understand what we hoped to share of our wedding day. He also took the time to plan accordingly, as we had surprises in store for each other. Connecting with him was a breeze--he was quick to respond to email, had amazing input for planning our timeline, and worked with our budget.
We knew we had picked the perfect person, but the day of our wedding, he surpassed our expectations! He captured our wedding day in the same style that we lived it. He managed to capture everything--and yet he was discreet. it was never a production, it was our intimate wedding day. He captured the moments before the wedding in their truest form. He captured the ceremony and reception in a way that we live through it each time we watch the video. He was unobtrusive yet completely involved. The final product was our wedding day, the way we lived it. We didn't want glamorous, we wanted us. Graham gave us the gift of reliving our wedding day the way it happening. This is talented, documentary-style video at it's finest. We couldn't be more thrilled with the final result!
Graham did an amazing job capturing our wedding day! His documentary edit caught all our favorite moments and so much more. Somehow he was everywhere even though he blended right in on the day of. Our only regret was not booking him for overtime! We will be watching our video over and over again :) He was also a pleasure to work with and always responded to our emails promptly. He was very organized and attentive to our needs. I will be recommending him to all my friends!
Graham is a very professional and talented journalistic videographer!
I first met Graham when we worked together at a TV station in Oakland about 15 years ago, so I already knew he knows what he's doing and can provide quality work. My (now) husband is also very keen on photography and videography, so when he loved Graham's online portfolio as much as I did, we asked Graham some questions and selected him to be our videographer instantly! Fortunately, he was available for our wedding date in June 2017, so we booked him a year in advance :) He was very professional and straight forward in the booking process and the next steps.
Fast forward to about a month before our wedding, Graham was on point in following up with us on what we wanted him to capture on our big day, if we wanted him to interview and record our guests, the wedding day timeline, and the contact info of our DJ, whom he privately contacted to ensure that the ceremony audio was recorded and that the mics were set up. Additionally, he gave us encouraging words and shared his excitement, which was very sweet.
On the day of, he arrived at the hotel promptly, where my bridesmaids and I were getting our hair and makeup done, along with where we did some wedding games before the first look. Graham dressed professionally in black, had a supportive smile, and recorded all the action seamlessly. He also worked well with my photographer and photographer's assistant, whom were there concurrently, along with my bridesmaids. He joined us for a bit when we had photoshoot outside of John's Ice Cream in Berkeley, then briefly on our walk to Cal campus. To make the best use of his 8 hours with us, he offered to have a break between our pre-wedding photo shoot and the ceremony/reception, which we appreciated!
During the ceremony and reception at the Brazilian Room, he was unobtrusive and captured so much for a one-man team! He was also prepared for the elements, like when it rained right before our ceremony began on a summer day. We didn't even notice him occasionally because we were caught in the festivities and he blended in well with everyone. Overall, we had a great time with him and are lucky that he was our videographer :))
True to his words, he delivered the full, raw wedding videos to us I'm two months! My hubby and I are in awe with the amazing quality of his work, where it seemed like we were re-living our big day again. We are having so much fun editing and creating our own shorter video with his videos right now :)
Would highly recommend Graham of the Final Frame Studio for all of your videography needs, as he will capture the moments exceptionally well!
Graham is amazing!
Before the wedding:
We reached out to Graham through his website and exchanged a few quick emails. Graham suggested for us to have a call to talk thru how I envisioned my wedding day and what we wanted in my video. It was really easy to talk to Graham and he was very patient in answering ALL my questions! After our initial talk, we continued to communicate over email which was my preferred method and Graham was always quick with his responses. We then checked in a week before the wedding with the final schedule and everything was set.
During the wedding:
Graham showed up on time and was neatly dressed. Graham blended in and he was not intrusive at all nor did he do anything that detracted from the wedding. He was a true professional!!
Final product:
Graham gave us a follow up email after the wedding to let us know that he would be able to deliver the video two months and he was on time. When he sent thru the link, we downloaded the documentary style video and were so excited. We started watching the video and we couldn't stop. We LOVED it all!!!!! Here’s why… he captured soooo much for being a one-man-crew! He captured all of the expected wedding moments (ceremony, speeches, cake cutting, etc) and a lot of moments that we, as the couple, missed since we weren’t always there with the guests. We really enjoyed seeing our guests during those candid moments before the ceremony started, during cocktail hour, and taking photo booth pictures, etc. We also really enjoyed guest interviews. The quality of the picture was really really good and video was very polished. The movement of his shots were smooth, sound was balanced and never erratic, and composition was beautiful. I really appreciated the final product and you can tell how much skilled Graham is at his craft!
Overall:
Graham is a true progressional and made every step so simple — this is critical for a bride planning her wedding! Getting info and rates was so straightforward and his website is polished and clearly outlines his pricing. No hidden fees! His final product just reflects how amazing he is. For one person, he’s able to capture so much and edit in a way that really captures all the important details of our wedding day in a very high quality video that we will cherish for the rest of our lives! I would highly recommend Graham to all my friends and family! Choosing Graham was one of our best decision!!!
Graham King! What can I say! Amazing! During wedding planning Then fiancé at the time and I were going back and forth on whether we were going to have a video. We decided finally that it was a must have because the day would fly and it was something we wanted to remember forever. The next question was who? My husband was on Facebook and our DJ tagged him in a post about Final Frame and then he shared it to my page and we began to research him. Upon reviews and watching previous clips of weddings that Graham did we were hooked! I called him and we talked details and packages. I was immediately comfortable with him and felt that I had I known him for a long time! We met up with him to go over the day a bit and get our deposit paid. Graham is amazing! Wedding day came and he was there every moment and captured all the highlights, moments we missed and the interviews are amazing! The video is outstanding quality and my husband and I couldn't be happier! Graham is professional in every way. If you're on the fence for a videographer do it! Pick Graham and Final Frame!
We first found Graham and Final Frame Studios through The Knot. After looking through his sample videos, we fell in love with Graham's documentary shooting style. It's beautiful but simple, exactly what we were looking for. We didn't want fancy edits or animation effects, just a way for us to relive our special day.
Fast forward a few months, we recently received our videos and we couldn't be happier with our choice. The videos are simply amazing. We are having parties with families and friends and are having a blast going through the material. I would recommend Graham and Final Studio to anyone else. He's professional, easy to work with and a pretty awesome videographer.
Graham documented our Indian wedding in April at Casa Real. He did an amazing job capturing the details from our event, from the baraat to the reception. His style is artistic enough that the video was very engaging (I usually hate watching videos of myself, but this was an exception) but not too artsy that it detracted from how we wished to remember our wedding. We also appreciated that he managed to 'interview' (record messages to the bridge and groom) many of our closest friends and family, even though we never explicitly told him whom to ask. By interviewing people during downtime at the cocktail hour, he was very efficient with his time. I swear he must have an invisibility cloak because I don't remember actually seeing him that day-- he was that good at staying out of the way while having that 'front row' perspective.
His price was very reasonable and he delivered the final video exactly when promised. I've heard horror stories from friends who had to bug their videographer MONTHS after the expected deadline, so I really appreciate that Graham was so professional and on top of things.
Graham was amazing! Wonderful to work with and we are so glad we found him. Thank you for our beautiful wedding video!!
I spent a good two months looking for a videographer. As someone who works in film and television, behind the camera and as an editor, I knew what I was looking for in terms of aesthetic, quality, service and price. Graham exceeded my expectations in every regard.
Working with him has been wonderful - from our initial contact, to the planning, to the day of. He was great with responding and helped work out a shooting schedule that allowed us to get the most for our money. Though he is based in the Bay Area, he was more than happy to come to Sacramento to shoot our wedding at the Firehouse.
I was planning the wedding from France and so didn't get a chance to meet him until the big day but I can say without reservation that it was the least stressful part of the wedding. He showed up and shot and I didn't have to worry about a thing.
I was very happy that it was just him and not a team of camera guys. It's surprisingly difficult being followed around, photographed and filmed, as if you are on reality TV. The less people the better - it allows you to stay in the moment and focus on your friends, your family and getting married.
My husband and I are so very happy with the final product. We just went through the footage and love ALL of it. The video is absolutely gorgeous and the sound is flawless. We chose the documentary edit, which was exactly what I was looking for. I love the simplicity of the editing. Graham captured our wedding day and the memories that we made so beautifully.
If you choose to go with Graham, you will not be disappointed. He is a wonderful guy to work with and an incredibly gifted videographer.
Graham exceeded our expectations! He is highly professional, didn't get in the way at all during the wedding, and did a fabulous job capturing the whole event. He came prepared, and sent us the final video 2 months after, exactly what he promised. He was even willing to make a couple changes after we received the video. I highly recommend using him as your videographer! And if you're on the fence about having a videographer in the first place, don't be! You will be so grateful that your family and future children will be able to experience your special day.
We just received our wedding video and we are in love! It was so beautifully done and I am so pleased! Graham did an amazing job and we couldn't be happier. He was able to capture every single special moment and did such a beautiful job! It was very elegant and gracefully done. I'm so glad we decided to go with him. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a videographer! Thank you for capturing my special day in such a beautiful way for me. I absolutely love it! You're the best!!
Graham is a seriously artistic and professional videographer! He was beyond worth every penny. From the initial correspondence, he was on top of answering questions and solving electrical problems. He went out his way to ensure our audio would be proper. The quality of his video (and audio) is AMAZING and we can’t imagine not having him at our wedding. We are SO IMPRESSED!!! Absolutely brilliant work.
Graham was exceptional! If we could give him ten stars we would. He captured our wedding day so perfectly. We absolutely treasure the footage. It's hard to believe he was able to shoot it entirely by himself without any assistance. Thank you Graham!
Graham shot our wedding this past April, and I can't believe we ever considered not having a videographer! His pricing is very reasonable, and his style is exactly what we wanted.
On the day of our wedding, it was almost as if he wasn't there. But by no means does this mean he failed to capture anything. Graham was able to get every last detail of our wedding, from our entire wedding party prepping in the morning, to the late night dancing and snacks! We couldn't be happier with our decision to hire him!
If you're still debating whether or not to hire a videographer, please do, and look no further than Final Frame Studios...it is SO, SO worth it to be able to re-live the biggest day of your life, and to see things you missed or forgot! The way Graham captures your day is simply amazing!
Graham did a fabulous job capturing the essence of our day. I hardly saw him, he was pretty incognito during the day, but captured everything. We haven't received our highlight real yet, but I'm sure it will be great based on what is on his website.
Graham is a man of a few words but it is evident in his work how creative and intelligent he is. He has been doing videos for almost a decade but he keeps up with the latest technoligies and trend. He created a wedding music video for us on the actual wedding day to show our guests during the reception. It was unbelievable! HD quality that showed the best parts of the day. It is something that we would treasure our whole lives!
Grant was amazing to work with! We were able to book him last minute, he was able to give us a very reasonable price, and he was always available. Also a hit with the guests! Definitely see his website.
