Our cinema work is built around storytelling - not just documenting moments, but capturing how the day feels as it unfolds.
Every wedding film is shaped by your story, your timeline, and the energy of the day. Coverage can stand on its own or be thoughtfully paired with photography, depending on what matters most to you and how you want the story told.
Rather than offering one-size-fits-all packages, we start with a conversation to understand your vision, priorities, and the experience you’re looking for. From there, we guide you toward an approach that feels intentional and aligned.

At KimFilms, all of our work shares the same clean, timeless color with true-to-life skin tones. Our signature is complex storytelling and sound design - a dynamic, cinematic edit with intentional cuts and an artistic approach that elevates every moment. We also offer different edit styles based on your vibe - Cinematic Classic/Dramatic, Modern Mix, or Timeless Romance - and we’re known for delivering a modern, energetic rhythm within each style.
Every film blends a full range of emotions - hard party and happy tears, sacred vows and quiet, intimate moments, and connects those chapters into a cohesive, authentic story that feels unmistakably you.

Next question
Cinematic Classic / Dramatic
Bold, filmic, and refined - deliberate pacing, layered vows/toasts, selective slow motion, and a mix of gimbal with composed shots for scale and atmosphere.
Modern Mix
Sleek editorial meets candid energy - perfect for party people who still want romance. Crisp pacing, intentional movement, and detail-driven storytelling with a modern edge.
Timeless Romance
Soft, emotive, and effortlessly classic - gentle contrast, luminous highlights, and intimate framing for an unhurried, romantic cadence that endures.
What are your signature video styles?
Next question
Yes, drone footage is complimentary in all our video collections whenever it’s safe, legal, and permitted. We always follow venue rules and federal/local regulations (for example, no-fly zones near airports or places like Disneyland). Drone use also depends on conditions and schedule - we need daylight, a safe launch/landing area, and adequate time set aside in your timeline. If laws, venue policies, weather, or timing don’t allow for a flight, we’ll capture beautiful ground alternatives instead.
Next question
We typically don’t use client-selected songs. Music is a core part of our storytelling and sound design, so we select licensed, royalty-free tracks that match your film’s pace, emotion, and narrative - guided by your final Video Questionnaire and our artistic style. This lets us blend dialogue, ambient audio, and music seamlessly for a cinematic result.
We don’t edit to popular, copyrighted songs unless you obtain an appropriate license from the rights holder.
Can I choose the song for my wedding video?
Next question
Yes, some locations require permits, permissions, or clearances for photo/video. The client is responsible for obtaining any necessary approvals for all events - engagement sessions, love story videos, and wedding-day locations (public or private). Any location fees or studio rentals are also the client’s responsibility.
We’re happy to advise on typical requirements and provide insurance documents (COI) if needed, but securing permits and covering related costs must be arranged by you.
Do we need permits, and who handles them?
Next question
No. RAW footage is not what most people expect when they say “I want to see the whole day.” It isn’t a watchable recap - it’s our workable files: multiple camera angles, unsynced audio, test shots, and behind-the-scenes (including team’s) chatter. It’s unpolished, massive, and created solely so we can craft a clean, dynamic film that reflects your story.
Do you deliver RAW footage?
What can we get instead?
Add a Content Creator. You’ll get continuous, in-the-moment shots - BTS of the wedding, your conversations and reactions, genuine candid moments, that complement the professional photo + video coverage. It shows everything as it is and fills in the full picture of the day, so you can relive the energy and details alongside your cinematic film and photos.
