Wedding Videography at Inn at the Tides
Inn at the Tides sits on six rolling acres along Coast Highway One in Bodega Bay, with 86 guest rooms positioned to take in the bay below, and it has been one of the Sonoma Coast's steadier wedding addresses for exactly that reason. The property is built for smaller, more intimate weddings, with indoor ceremony and reception spaces suited to a focused guest list rather than a large production. That scale works in the property's favor: the inn's own hillside position over the water becomes the main visual asset for a wedding here, rather than one feature among many.
Bodega Bay is Sonoma Coast, not Sonoma wine country, and the difference matters for how a wedding film reads. The marine layer that rolls off the Pacific gives mornings and early afternoons a soft, diffused quality that flatters skin tones without the harsh contrast of inland California light, and the bay itself, visible from much of the property, adds water and sky into nearly every wide shot without the couple having to walk anywhere to find it. Indoor spaces with bay views let us cut between exterior water shots and interior ceremony coverage without losing the coastal thread.
Coastal fog on the Sonoma Coast can hold later into the day than guests expect, and evenings turn cool and windy off the water regardless of season, so layering and timing both matter here. Film House Weddings films throughout Northern California and would be honored to film a wedding at Inn at the Tides.

What is included in a wedding film package?

Do you work with our photographer and wedding planner?
Absolutely. Coordination with your vendor team is a core part of our process. We work directly with your planner and photographer before and during the wedding day to make sure everyone is in sync and no moment is missed.

Yes. Drone coverage is available as an add-on, coordinated with local airspace rules and any venue restrictions.
How long until we receive our wedding film?
Delivery timelines are discussed during the proposal stage and depend on the season and edit scope. Expedited delivery is available if you need your film sooner. Let us know during the booking conversation and we will build a timeline that works for you. Final films are delivered digitally via a private link.
Do you provide raw footage?
Raw footage is available on request as an add-on. Most couples do not request it, since our edited cinematic film, reel, and optional full ceremony and speeches edit capture everything that matters. If raw footage is important to you, let us know during the proposal conversation and we will include it in your custom package.
Will you provide a second shooter?
Our standard package is filmed by a two-person team. Additional shooters are available as an add-on.
