Check Availability →Wedding Videography in Big Sur
Big Sur is the most cinematically dramatic coastline in America — 90 miles of rugged Santa Lucia Mountains plunging straight into the Pacific, with no cities, no strip malls, and no visual clutter between Highway 1 and the horizon. To get married here is to choose the most visually extraordinary setting on the continent, a place where the ceremony backdrop is one of the great natural wonders of the world.
Post Ranch Inn perches on a cliff 1,200 feet above the Pacific, its tree houses and ocean houses suspended between redwood canopy and open sky. Ventana Big Sur sits in a redwood canyon above the sea. The Hyatt Carmel Highlands crowns the headland at Carmel's southern edge, offering a gentler entry to the Big Sur experience with none of the remoteness trade-off.
Film House Weddings was built for locations like Big Sur. The interplay of fog, Pacific light, redwood forest shadow, and golden coastal hillsides creates wedding films of a visual power that is simply not achievable anywhere else in California. We know this coastline, its light, its moods, and how to capture all of it.

Big Sur Wedding Tips
Book Post Ranch Immediately
Post Ranch Inn has only 39 rooms and holds fewer than 30 weddings per year. Inquire the day you are engaged — available dates disappear within hours of opening.
Highway 1 Closures
Highway 1 through Big Sur is subject to closure from landslides and winter storms. Have a contingency plan and monitor Caltrans alerts in the weeks before your wedding.
Fog and Light
Morning fog is common and can be spectacular — burning off by 10am to reveal crystal clarity. Don't fear the fog; it creates extraordinary atmosphere on film.
State Park Permits
Ceremonies on state park land require California State Parks event permits. Apply at least 6 months ahead. Sites like McWay Falls have strict guest count limits.
