Why Azariah Films

  1. i.

    Raised near Yosemite

    I grew up a short drive from the park's gates. This is home, not a once-a-year shoot.

  2. ii.

    We know the permits, light and crowds

    When the valley goes gold, which overlooks get busy, and how to plan around the park's permit rules.

  3. iii.

    Real vows audio, story-driven edits

    Your actual words, recorded clean and woven into a film built around your story, never a template.

Four simple steps

How It Works

  1. 01

    Inquire

    Send your date and the spots you love (or "not sure yet"). I read every inquiry myself.

  2. 02

    Plan your day & permit

    We'll map out locations, timing and light together, and I'll coordinate with your photographer, who usually handles the park's special use permit.

  3. 03

    Film day

    Light prompts, no stiff posing. You get to be present while I catch the vows, the views and everything in between.

  4. 04

    Receive your film

    A story-driven film cut from scratch around your day, with your real vows and voices woven in.

Good questions

FAQ

check your date
Do you help with Yosemite permits?

Weddings and elopements in Yosemite need a special use permit from the National Park Service. Couples usually file it with their photographer, and I'll coordinate with them on locations and timing so the film fits right in.

Do you travel outside Yosemite?

Yes — anywhere in California and beyond.

Do you film elopements with just the two of us?

Absolutely. Some of the best days are just the two of you. I have elopement packages made for small, intimate days of 20 guests or fewer, from a sunset vows film to sunrise-to-sunset coverage.

How soon do we get our film?

Films typically arrive in 8–10 weeks. Need it sooner? Quicker turnarounds can be discussed, so just ask when you inquire.
