Hey everyone! Andrii here, the proud owner and founder of Journey Wedding Films. I wanted to take a moment to share a bit about the person behind the lens. 🙂

About Me:
I’m Andrii Noga, and I’ve poured my heart into creating a premier wedding videography experience right here in Sacramento, California. At Journey Wedding Films, we don’t just capture weddings; we weave love stories into cinematic masterpieces that you’ll cherish forever.

The Journey So Far:
📅 2019: The year it all began. Fueled by a passion for storytelling through video, I filmed around 10 weddings. In July 2019, Journey Wedding Films was born, and I was hopeful that 2020 would be our breakthrough year.

📅 2020: Enter the pandemic. No weddings allowed. It turned out to be the toughest year for the wedding business, but I persevered, determined to overcome the challenges.

📅 2021: “Good things come to those who are patient.” Weddings were back, but not without a hiccup - unfortunately, some of my gear was stolen. But I didn’t let this stop me.

📅 2022: A monumental year! I filmed over 50 weddings, but it came at a cost - burnout. It made me rethink my approach. I realized that quality trumps quantity, and I can better serve a limited number of couples.

📅 2023: A year of intentional growth. I limited the number of weddings to dedicate more time to each couple. I delved into online courses and mentorships, ensuring that I continuously learn and grow. The result? Less stress and more happy couples!

Let’s Chat:
1. Visit my website in the bio
2. Fill out an inquiry form: Let’s start the conversation.
3. Setup a Call: We’ll connect to plan your unique wedding film. Every couple is special, and your video package should reflect that.

-Note: I won’t sell you services; I’ll be your trusted guide. If my services aren’t the perfect fit, I’ll happily recommend other talented videographers. Let’s embark on this exciting journey together!

It was a pleasure to film the wedding of Dima and Darina at Light of the Gospel Missionary Church in Rocklin, CA.

Family and friends gathered and showed just how much they loved these two, as they vowed their love for one another right in front of them.

Seeing the way these two kissed, hugged one another, and embraced, you could tell there was something special about these two.

Most of the portraits were done in Downtown Sacramento.

To Dima and Darina, thank you for trusting me to film your big day. Thank you for trusting me with your memories. I can only hope you enjoy this as much as we did editing and shooting it.

I had the privilege of filming Anthony and Janely's wedding at Black Oak Mountain Vineyards in Cool, CA, and it was truly an honor. Despite the cloudy and rainy weather, the wedding video turned out to be even more beautiful.

The couple's family and friends came together to witness their heartfelt vows and demonstrate their love and support for them. The rain didn't dampen the outdoor ceremony, as guests made use of umbrellas.

The way Anthony and Janely danced, hugged, and laughed together showed how special their bond was. The reception was held at the cozy barn down hill, where the party continued well into the night.

Anthony and Janely, I am grateful for the opportunity to capture your special day on film. Your trust in me to preserve your memories is greatly appreciated, and I hope you enjoy the final product as much as we enjoyed creating it.

I was so humbled and honored to film the wedding of Lorenzo and Crystal at the Hanford Ranch Winery in Galt, CA.

We started morning prep at the Hyatt Regency Sacramento. Then, we headed over to the Church of the Blessed Sacrament where the ceremony took place. The Catholic ceremony was very beautiful to witness.

Family and friends gathered and showed just how much they loved these two, as they vowed their love for one another right in front of them.

Watching as they spent time with family and friends, you could really tell these two had overcome so much to get to this point.

Seeing the way these two partied, hugged one another, and embraced, you could tell there was something special about these two.

We headed over to the reception at the Hanford Ranch Winery to finish the night there and let the party begin.

To Lorenzo & Crystal, thank you for trusting us to film your big day. Thank you for trusting us with your memories. I can only hope you enjoy this as much as we did editing and shooting it.

Should you do a first look? (3 minute read below) ⠀
⠀
5 Reasons to Do a First Look: ⠀
⠀
1. Extra Photos & Videos 📷 ⠀
This moment can only be done once in your life and you will love looking back at all the memories and emotions. ⠀
⠀
2. Talk to Your Fiancé Before the Ceremony 🤵 ⠀
You have some alone time with the person who is most dear to your heart and talk about the day before it happens. We give the couple 3-5 minutes to just chat. ⠀
⠀
3. Alleviate Stress 😌 ⠀
So many couples have said that once they saw their fiancé, then a lot of stress was gone and they felt ready to do the ceremony and other parts of the wedding day. ⠀
⠀
4. More Time for Photos ⏱️ ⠀
If you do the first look, you can take photos with your fiancé and the bridal party right after instead of finding time after the ceremony (which is hard because most of the time is delegated for family photos) ⠀
⠀
5. The Walk Down the Aisle Will Still Happen ⛪ ⠀
Some couples only want the walk down the aisle for those raw emotions when the groom sees her for the first time down the aisle.

But even if you do the first look, then the walk down the aisle will still be something new with raw emotions because you've never done this before. Every moment on the wedding day is something new! ⠀
⠀
If you're still reading this, comment if you did or didn't do a first look. How was it? Were you happy that you did or didn't do it? ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
