Wedding videography in Santa Barbara
for elopements & intimate weddings
I’m a wedding videographer working between Europe and California, capturing elopements and intimate weddings in Santa Barbara and across California.
Alongside video, I also offer photography — couples can book video only, photography only, or both, always with one cohesive team and a consistent visual language.
My approach is cinematic and documentary, focused on real moments, honest connection, and unposed storytelling — without interrupting the flow of your day.

Hi lovers, I´m bruno
WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER & FILMMAKER · FOUNDER OF THE STORYTELLERS

Why Santa Barbara
First, I love California.
Santa Barbara feels familiar in a quiet way.
The light, the landscape, and the slower rhythm share a lot with parts of Southern Europe – places where intimacy, atmosphere, and connection matter more than scale.
That’s why my work fits naturally here: focused on elopements and intimate weddings shaped by place, emotion, and presence, rather than production or spectacle.
Seasonal Availability
I divide my time seasonally between Europe and California, working with a carefully selected number of weddings and elopements each year.
Part of the year is dedicated to a curated wedding season in Europe, while the remaining months are spent in California, including Santa Barbara and surrounding areas.
During my time in California, coverage is offered locally in Santa Barbara and surrounding areas, without additional travel logistics.
For dates outside these periods, travel can be arranged upon request.

If you’re planning an elopement or intimate wedding in Santa Barbara and feel that my work resonates with you, I’d love to hear more about your plans and help you shape something that feels true to you.

FAQ – Santa Barbara Wedding Videography & Photography
Do you offer both photography and videography for elopements and weddings?
Yes. I offer both photography and videography — either separately or combined.
When booked together, everything is created by one single team, with one shared vision.
That means a more cohesive story, less disruption on the day, and a final result that feels natural and intentional.
What types of wedding photography and videography services do you offer?
I focus on elopements and intimate weddings, offering both photography and cinematic wedding films.
Most couples book me for photo, video, or a combined photo & video coverage – always with a documentary, unposed approach.
Coverage is available in Santa Barbara, across California, and worldwide for destination weddings.
Can we choose the location for our elopement or couple shoot?
Absolutely. Some couples already have a location in mind, while others prefer guidance.
I help you choose places that feel natural and aligned with your vibe – whether that’s the coast, nature, or quieter spots around Santa Barbara and California. The goal is always to keep the experience relaxed and true to you, not staged or over-produced.
How long does a typical photo or video session last?
There’s no strict time limit. I shoot until the story feels complete.
Some elopements or sessions take 1–2 hours, others unfold over half a day. It depends on the pace, the light, and what you want to experience — not on watching the clock.
How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?
I know how exciting it is to see your photos.
Final galleries are usually delivered within 6–8 weeks, depending on the scope of the coverage and the editing process. Sometimes sooner, never rushed.
I take the time each story deserves, focusing on detail, consistency, and an honest edit that reflects how the day truly felt.
What happens if the weather sucks on the day of our shoot?
We have two options — and both can be beautiful.
We can embrace it. Rain, wind, clouds — it’s all part of the atmosphere. Some of my most cinematic work happened under unpredictable skies.
Or, if it truly doesn’t feel right, we can reschedule. No pressure. You decide.
