2024 Recap
2024 has been absolutely wild... and amazing. This year, I've been incredibly fortunate enough to travel to so many new US states and even had the privilege of filming my first international wedding in Mexico.
Here's a quick recap of what I've accomplished this year so far (for anyone curious):
- 19 Toast Edits
- 18 Ceremony Edits
- 20 Next Week Teasers
- 16 Films (More to come before the year's out)
- 2 Engagement Sessions
- 1 proposal
- 22 Mini Projects (For vendors, coffee shops, real estate, etc.)
- And, 17 Photography Gigs.
..... and while I'm definitely feeling the hustle, I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
I feel incredibly blessed to have met so many amazing clients, vendors, wedding guests, small business owners, and everyone in between. My weddings this year kicked off on New Year’s Eve, and it's been a whirlwind of amazing moments right up until my last one this past weekend. Huge thanks to all my 2024 couples — you truly were the best! And to my 2025 couples, let’s make some magic happen!🥂🤍
Manzanita Oregon
In August of this year, I attended a videographer retreat in Manzanita, Oregon. It was an incredible experience with multiple shoots that allowed each videographer to unleash their creativity and tell unique stories through their cameras. But for me, it was about more than just a "videographer retreat." I connected with incredible people in the industry, experienced breathtaking landscapes, but most importantly, I had the chance to turn my focus within.
On the first day, I sat down on the beach you see at the start of the video and took a moment to reflect on why I became a videographer. What am I striving to do with my career? Why did I choose this path? What inspired me to take the leap into videography and start my own business, even though being an entrepreneur wasn't something younger me had envisioned for myself?
The answer is simple. I want to tell stories. I want to evoke emotions through film. I want to be authentic. My goal is to give clients a wedding video that allows them to relive their special day, showcasing their personalities for their future kids, grandkids, and loved ones who couldn’t be there. It’s the gift of memories—something they can cherish for a lifetime—that drives me. And it’s the little girl who always asked her dad to hold the camcorder while recording home videos—that’s why I do it.
Here are some of my favorite shots from Manzanita, Oregon that I’m thrilled to share with you. There's many more shots captured, but these were my "Oh wow, I have to share these" shots. I’ll keep the video short and sweet—unlike this caption!
Indi + Ryan - Montana Wedding Teaser
This destination wedding in Big Sky, Montana truly was such an amazing experience. From canoeing with the couple the day before, seeing their family and friends come together during the welcome party, and of course, capturing all of the wedding day events -- was truly a wedding to be put in the books!
This was also the wedding that I ended up doing a same teaser edit. So what you're seeing here was actually edited while I was eating dinner at their reception. Throughout the day, my second shooter and I would be offloading the clips while selecting the best of the best shots for the teaser. It was such a race to get it done, but it all was worth it because we surprised the bride, groom, and all their guests by playing it on a projector at the end of the wedding night for them to watch. Hope you enjoy this teaser and thank you so much to all of the vendors who made this day possible!

Editing Tori & Jacob's wedding film was an absolute joy! What a sweet couple and it was so much fun capturing their story. Months prior we had shot a pre-wedding shoot and they brought their dogs (Mojo and Goose), glad they made it into the film :)
To the Kellys!🥂🤍

Hope everyone has had an amazing summer and is staying cool! As some of you may know, I primarily post to Instagram and TikTok, but I am making it my goal to start posting my 2024 work on my page now.
Quick business update -- It's been absolutely one busy spring and summer for CBerger Films. I have filmed 15 weddings this year so far (with 12 more to go). In terms of traveling, I've been to Montana, Florida, Mexico, Texas, Ohio, and Tennessee in the past 4 months!
Hope you enjoy the full film I created from the Puerto Vallarta, Mexico wedding. Absolutely a blast and was such an amazing experience.
Note: When watching. Make sure you are watching at the highest quality for the best viewing experience! You can press the gear icon and choose the quality from there :)
Lauren + Bhargava | Teaser
A stunning multi-day wedding in Dallas, Texas! From dances at the Sangeet, throwing UT sweatshirts instead of flowers, and two wedding ceremonies — I must say it was a weekend packed full of so many beautiful shots and memories. Introducing the new Mr. & Mrs. Reddy! Hope you all enjoy this teaser that encapsulates the 3 day weekend.

Hello everyone! I hope you all have been well. I'm taking a moment to share some exciting updates about CBerger Films. Admittedly, I haven't been as active on Facebook, but that's about to change this year! While I primarily showcase my work on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, I'd love for you to join me on those platforms too — find me @cbergerfilms.
Some additional updates:
1. As some of you may know, I've transitioned CBerger Films to focus on 'Destination Wedding Videography'. This means I am available around the globe to capture love stories in breathtaking locations! While I'm still available for local weddings, destination bookings will take precedence. Here's a sneak peek at some of the incredible destinations already on my calendar:
- Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
- Ibiza, Spain
- Guingano, Italy
- Dallas, Texas
- Sevierville, Tennessee
- Santa Rosa Beach, Florida
- Big Sky, Montana
- Manzanita, Oregon
2. I am thrilled to announce the new and improved website design! Huge thanks to Artful Brands for bringing every aspect of the site to life. Take a peek over at www.cbergerfilms.com - I am absolutely in love with its clean elegant look and the seamless user experience it offers, whether you're browsing on desktop or mobile. So, no matter which device you're using, you're in for a treat!
***Last month I was at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and captured this breathtaking shot of the ocean. I used my drone to capture a top down view and the birds came in at just the right moment! Hope you enjoy :)
