Lifestyle & Wedding Films

A cinematic eye, now turned toward your wedding day.

Why book a filmmaker just starting out on weddings.

01
A trained cinematic eye
Years spent shooting lifestyle and brand films means I know how to find light, movement, and real emotion, skills that translate directly to your wedding day.
02
Full attention, every booking
I'm building my wedding portfolio deliberately, which means your day gets my full focus, not a rushed handoff between ten weekends.
03
Fast, honest turnaround
A teaser in days, your full film in weeks. No chasing, no surprises.
04
Founding-client pricing
Because I'm early in wedding work specifically, you get established-filmmaker quality at a fraction of the usual rate.
Portrait
Who Am I

The friend who always had a camera out.

I'm Yan Duero, a UCSB grad who's had a camera in hand since long before it was a job. It started with editing gaming clips, grew into automotive films, and always circled back to lifestyle: trips, friends, the everyday moments most people forget to capture. I was always that friend filming, and eventually people started asking me to film their moments too. That same eye carried over into photography, where I've been hired by UCSB students to shoot their graduation portraits. Now I'm bringing it to weddings.

Films

Real moments from my own life: proposing, traveling, chasing time with the people I love. The same eye I now bring to your wedding day.

The Moment
A 2-3 Minute Cinematic Film
Every wedding day is built on a handful of moments that everything else orbits around: the first look, the walk down the aisle, the exhale after "I do." The Moment is a short cinematic film built entirely around those beats: no filler, no filming for the sake of filming. Just the emotion, cut to music, in a film you'll want to rewatch the way you'd rewatch a favorite scene.

The Chapter
Multi-Day Destination Coverage
Some celebrations don't fit into one day: a welcome dinner, a rehearsal, the wedding itself, each one part of the same story. The Chapter follows you through the whole weekend, capturing it as one continuous film rather than a single highlight, built for couples celebrating somewhere worth traveling for.
