Your Local Sonoma County Videographers
It all started with a love for film.
It started with two guys collaborating with each other in high school when the Sonoma County filmmaker community just started. Since then we’ve earned a few filmmaking degrees, over a dozen film festival selections, headed a children’s filmmaking summer camp, won several film awards, and been apart of several successful filmmaking nonprofits. 10 years strong and we’re still making narrative films, wedding videos, and business promos together.
Besides our common love for film we also shares a love for our community. Instead of moving to bigger cities, we chose to stay in our home of Sonoma County to film in the picturesque wine country that we have grown up in. Who better to capture its beauty than the local artists? We’re growing our Sonoma County filmmaker community each day by participating in Sonoma County’s first 48 Hour Film project, screening at the international Film Fest Petaluma, winning local recognitions, including the "Best Home Grown Film" from the Windsor Independent Film Festival, and pooling the land’s greatest film talents. We adore our home and want everyone to love it as much as we do.

Our collaboration with SunRise Solar came from a mutual understanding for each other. At SoCo Videography, we aim to bring affordable videography to the small, local businesses and people of Sonoma County. This wasn't just about business; this was about elevating our economy and promoting sustainability. If more businesses are able to afford stunning videography, we can give voices to businesses that they otherwise may not be able to voice. With us, it was with video. With them, it was solar energy.
