About

Kappel Imagery brings something fresh & modern to wedding videography. Our style is distinctly cinematic, utilizing multiple camera angles, top-shelf equipment, unique music selection, and creative editing techniques. But with all that being said, it’s not our style that matters, it’s yours! It’s your special day after all, and our goal is to tell your story exactly how you envision. With almost 20 years experience behind the lens, Kappel Imagery is fully capable of adapting to any cinematic style you desire.

To us, your wedding is a special day because not only is it the culmination of months or years of planning, but it is the beginning of a new chapter in your life, and nothing makes us happier than being there to tell your story. We try to shoot as unintrusive as possible to capture the natural interplay of emotions between you and your guests, but if you happen to glance over at us, you will undoubtedly see a smile brimming from behind the camera.

Most wedding videographers charge by the hour, and this to us, is simply ridiculous. All of our packages include a minimum of two camera operators and unlimited coverage of your entire day to ensure that we capture every meaningful moment. We also include all raw files for you to refer to. If we shoot for 8 hours and condense your final film down to five minutes, there will undoubtedly be some awesome moments that didn't make the cut. By gifting you the raw files, you will be able to watch every little bit of your day as we captured it. For us, making wedding videos isn't just a job, it is our true calling. It’s your special day, it only happens once, so we will be there with you every step of the way. From the moment the first touch of makeup is applied to the minute the last guests exit your venue, Kappel Imagery is honored to be there capturing each moment.

And we’ll still be smiling after those short 10-12 hours, you can count on it! You may even catch us in the parking lot with our laptops backing up your footage before the drive home…………because your special day is as important to us as it is to you. You've chosen Kappel Imagery to tell your story, and for that we cannot thank you enough. We are honored.

There are many Videographers in the San Diego are, but Jim stands high above them all. We had interviewed 8 of them before deciding on Jim. Jim is very professional, very creative, and was working with the latest equipment at the time. We really wanted an amazing video that would capture our entire day and Jim exceeded our expectations by a mile. He and his assistant came in early and stayed very late to capture every single detail of that day. Both shooters blended into the background, but seemed to capture so many different angles. They are veterans, know what they are doing, know the best things to shoot and capture, and then summarized it in an amazing edited video that blew us away. My only criticism is that our final video took a few months longer than we thought, but of course we were anxious. When we did get it, we were thankful that he put so much of his time and energy into it. We were happy that he didn't rush and that he took the time to give us the edited video we hoped we would get. Other than a little longer of a wait for the final video, Jim's service was impeccable.

One of the best decisions I made for my wedding! Jim was great! He was patient and kind and answered all of my questions and fulfilled every request I had. He brought 2 additional videographers with him and I swear I didn't even notice they were there the whole day yet somehow Jim and his team captured all the important and heartfelt moments of the day.
My package came with a highlight film and a feature film and they were both amazing and brought me and my husband to tears. I cant say enough good things about Jim!

Jim is the best in the videography business! He goes way above and beyond and has such a eye for capturing small details. My wedding video was perfection and he was the easiest vendor that I worked with for my wedding. You can tell how passionate he is about what he does....he really cares about you and your day. You won't regret hiring Jim Kappel to capture the best day of your life.

I hired Jim for my recent wedding. I cannot express how happy I am with his services. I hired a photographer and Jim, some thought it was too much. I am soooo glad I did. Jim was able to capture all the moments I didn't get to see (being the bride). For example, I have had guest say since the wedding "did you see so and so on the dance floor?" Or getting to see my flower girl and ring bearer get down the aisle. And capturing the tears of my husband when I walked down the aisle. I get to watch our magical day over and over, forever and always! Jim did a perfect job capturing my husband and I's personalities and the fun atmosphere of our celebration!
Jim is easy to work with, he's super mellow and he just blended in with the wedding, no awkward poses or was he in the way, he was a friend helping us celebrate!

I was referred to Jim by my sister. He did her wedding and was the saving grace of her day. Her photographer was not very good and ended up taking horrible shots. Jim was able to provide her the still shots of everything he captured and make a fantastic video of the wedding, giving her a forever memory when she was almost left with nothing.

I would highly recommend Jim Kappel for your videography needs!

I'm not quite sure how to begin with this review... First of all, my grandmother LOVES him (and she is very hard to please/impress) She still talks about him and we got married November 2015 haha. Second, IM OBSESSED WITH OUT HIGHLIGHT VIDEO!!!! It is seriously amazing and we have received so many compliments on it. People have been very impressed and say they "have never seen a wedding video this beautiful".
I was debating on getting a videographer because of price. I was going back and forth for months, and someone told me that if I am debating it that much, I should do it because otherwise I'll regret it. Let me tell you, one of the best decisions I have made for our wedding day! I was being pulled in so many different directions and there were a lot of things that we didn't get to see or experience, but Jim (and his associate) captured it! And we get to relive it anytime we want to watch!
My photographer recommended Kappel Imagery to me because she has worked with Jim in the past and they just work so well together and stay out of each others way while capturing everything. We chose the package that includes all raw footage.. LOVE IT! There is so much to go through and you see all this extra stuff too! But the highlight video is my favorite and I cry every time!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
