Awarded Best Wedding Videographer in Ventura & Malibu by California Wedding Day

It still feels a little surreal.

This year, Jasper & Oak was named Best Wedding Videographer in Ventura & Malibu by California Wedding Day’s Best of 2025 Awards.

As I stood in that room, surrounded by so many talented creators from all across California, I felt deeply humbled. Jasper & Oak started with one goal—to tell love stories with authenticity, intention, and heart. To receive this kind of recognition, voted on by peers, couples, and industry professionals, means more than I can say.

A Personal Thank You

The truth is, this isn’t just my award. It belongs to every couple who has trusted me to capture their wedding day.

From golden hour ceremonies in Ojai, to luxury oceanfront weddings in Malibu, to unforgettable celebrations across the Central Coast—each story has shaped Jasper & Oak into what it is today.

So to every couple who has welcomed me into their day:

Thank you for allowing me to tell your story.

Proudly Serving Southern California’s Most Iconic Venues

While Ventura is where Jasper & Oak calls home, I’ve been honored to document love stories all across Southern California—from sun-drenched vineyards to coastal estates and historic city venues.

In Malibu, I’ve had the opportunity to film at stunning locations like The Lodge at Malibou Lake, where the mountains meet the water in the most cinematic way. Just up the coast, Ojai continues to inspire with its golden light, serene landscapes, and venues like Ojai Valley Inn, Caravan Outpost, The Lavender Inn, Topa Mountain Winery, and The Ojai Rancho Inn—each offering its own kind of laid-back elegance and unforgettable character.

Closer to home in Camarillo and Ventura County, I’ve worked with couples at some of the most beautiful properties, including Tuscan Rose Ranch, Maravilla Gardens, and Spanish Hills Country Club—venues that feel like hidden gems right in our backyard.

Heading into Moorpark and Simi Valley, I’ve captured vineyard celebrations at Gerry Ranch and open-air ceremonies beneath the trees at Walnut Grove at Tierra Rejada Farms, both offering a perfect blend of rustic charm and elegant beauty.

In Santa Barbara, I’ve filmed rooftop views and courtyard receptions at the Kimpton Canary Hotel, along with garden-inspired celebrations at Villa & Vine and beachfront weddings at Rincon Beach Club, where the Pacific Ocean becomes your ceremony backdrop.

Of course, Los Angeles never fails to impress, with iconic venues like Vibiana and The Ebell of Los Angeles, where grand architecture meets timeless romance.

And then there’s the Central Coast—a region that feels like it was made for wedding films. From the famously eclectic Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo, to the rolling vineyards of Paso Robles, and the stunning coastal resorts that line California’s coast, it’s a dream location for couples looking to celebrate in unforgettable style.

Whether you’re exchanging vows on a windswept bluff, in a candlelit ballroom, or beneath the stars at one of these unforgettable venues, my commitment is the same—to tell your story with care, craft, and cinematic excellence.

Why Couples Trust Jasper & Oak

What sets Jasper & Oak apart is more than just the way we film—it’s the experience we offer. I believe luxury is in the details:

  • In how your story is captured without feeling staged

  • In how your film feels personal, not templated

  • And in how your memories are preserved to stand the test of time

Every wedding is different. That’s why every film I create is made with intention, inspired by your connection and the moments that make your day your own.

Let’s Tell Your Story Next

If you’re planning a wedding in Ventura, Malibu, Ojai, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, or anywhere along the Central Coast, I’d love to hear from you.

Thank you again for making this dream possible. I look forward to capturing more unforgettable stories in the years to come.
