Wedding Videography at La Jolla Woman's Club
La Jolla Woman's Club occupies a clubhouse designed by architect Irving Gill, with his nephew Louis John Gill, and completed in 1914-1915, funded and donated by philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and stands as one of the clearest examples of Gill's architectural style: simple geometric forms, arches, and columns with almost no applied ornament. The grounds include two distinct ceremony gardens, and the ballroom inside has hardwood floors, a built-in raised stage, and stained glass windows, all sitting one block from the ocean in the heart of La Jolla Village.
Gill's architecture was built around light rather than decoration, and that intention still holds up on camera a century later. The clean arches and unadorned walls of the clubhouse don't compete with a couple in frame the way a more ornate historic building would, and the ballroom's stained glass throws color across the room at specific times of day that a lit set could not easily replicate. The two separate garden spaces give a wedding day room to stage a ceremony and portraits in one setting and a reception in another without leaving the property, and the ocean's proximity means marine light is present even in interior shots near the windows.
La Jolla's coastal position brings the same marine layer that affects much of San Diego's coast, softening midday light and often clearing by late afternoon into the kind of clean, indirect light Gill's building was designed to hold. Film House Weddings films throughout San Diego County and would be honored to film a wedding at La Jolla Woman's Club.

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.

Our standard package is filmed by a two-person team. Additional shooters are available as an add-on.
