More Than Wedding Videography

Tell Your Story

Your wedding is a tale of the heart, and it is my job to capture the moments that bring that story to life. Stories are more than the retelling of events; they help us share a part of ourselves with those around us, and we depend on them to create meaning in our lives.Our unique style allows you to forget about the camera and focus on your day.

"Using Daniel Gruen Weddings for videography was definitely one of the best choices we made with our wedding." - Heather and Lawrence

In 2010 Daniel Gruen Weddings was born with a mission of preserving the most special and beautiful memories on film. Since then, Daniel has filmed hundreds of weddings throughout California and beyond.

Born and raised in Berkeley, Daniel Gruen learned the fundamentals of storytelling studying film at UC Santa Barbara. It was there he wrote and directed award winning short films, and met and was mentored by film director William Dear (Harry and the Hendersons, Angels in the Outfield).

The award winning filmmaking of Daniel Gruen Weddings is about capturing every special moment and portraying them in the form of an endearing story. Sitting at home watching your film for the first time, you'll be brought back to the feelings and memories of your wedding.

Daniel currently lives in Brentwood, California (50 minutes outside San Francisco) with his beautiful wife Amanda, and rescued cat Meeko. The best way to get started is with a phone call or text - (510) 685-6864.

Best videographer around

Words can’t express how great Daniel is to work with. He was accommodating, professional, loyal, kind and fun to work with. He was the videographer 5 years ago at our son’s wedding. When friends saw his work on my fb page they hired them for their 2 sons’ weddings. Last weekend he was the videographer for our daughter’s wedding. I would hire him again in a second!!!

Daniel was exactly what we wanted in a videographer for our wedding day. He was so professional and made us feel so comfortable the whole time (I am not one to like being the center of attention!) He worked so well with our photographer, which was wonderful as well. The finished product of the highlight and edited full footage were more than we could have ever asked for. I could watch all day, everyday!!! We highly recommend Daniel Gruen for any wedding videography needs, he's the absolute best!

Daniel is incredible. Unlike many videographers, who must be intrusive to produce their beautiful films, Daniel is so discreet that I often forget he's even there. Couples looking for a videographer who truly stays in the background to document the day, I can't recommend him highly enough.

We have known Daniel Gruen for many years and have worked with him on many weddings over the years. Daniel is a superb videographer, he’s dedicated to providing the best results he can. Daniel and his team are always a joy to work with, they are extremely polite and friendly. One of our favorite part about Daniel is that he doesn't stop improving; he’s constantly finding ways to enhance his service and quality/creativity of his work. The last wedding we did with him, we learned that Daniel integrated Same-Day-Editing as an option for the Bride & Groom; and we could not be more amazed at the results. It was executed perfectly and the Bride & Groom were in tears after watching the beautiful video. We highly recommend Daniel for your videography needs!
