Wedding Videography at Korakia Pensione
Korakia Pensione occupies 1.5 acres in the middle of Palm Springs, built from two adjoining properties: a 1920s Moroccan-style compound created by the artist Gordon Coutts and a Mediterranean villa next door. Twenty-eight rooms sit across the combined grounds, arranged around courtyards, pools, and stone fountains rather than a single central structure, which gives the property a layered, wandering quality unusual for a Palm Springs hotel. Outdoor events at Korakia can run up to roughly 200 guests, with the Mediterranean courtyard, built around a pool and dance floor platform, serving as the primary reception space for around 130 seated guests.
Most Palm Springs venues lean into midcentury modern lines. Korakia does the opposite, and that contrast is exactly why it films so well: whitewashed adobe walls, vine-covered archways, and courtyards scented with citrus and jasmine give a wedding film here a Mediterranean, almost North African texture that reads as unmistakably different from the rest of the desert. The San Jacinto Mountains still frame the property from several vantage points, so a ceremony can carry both the intimacy of the courtyards and, in wider shots, the scale of the mountains behind them.
Palm Springs heat is a real planning factor for most of the year, and the tight, shaded courtyards at Korakia actually work in a couple's favor for midday coverage, holding cooler and more evenly lit than open lawns elsewhere in the valley. Film House Weddings films throughout Southern California and would be honored to film a wedding at Korakia Pensione.

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.
