We are Mario & Fran

We are Mario & Fran

Documentary filmmaking counterparts and business partners, Mario and Fran joined forces in 2013 to form a wedding video company for couples looking for unique, story-forward wedding films with tons of personality and authenticity.

The company expanded in 2020 to highlight Mario’s cinematic vision and Fran’s intuition for finding a story. Mario leads the cinematography team and handles all client relations, and Fran leads the editing team as lead storyteller.

We are based in the San Francisco Bay Area and are available for travel worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions:

We are Mario & Fran

How would you describe your style?

Candid, unique storytelling with lots of personality! We take a fly-on-the-wall approach to capture the most authentic moments in the least intrusive way possible.

How long have you been filming weddings?

We have filmed hundreds of weddings since we started in 2013. Now we limit our bookings to 18 weddings per year to ensure a handcrafted, high quality product for each one of our couples.

 

How do we book you?

After a brief phone call or video chat consultation, we send you an online quote and contract with a built-in invoice. Simply choose your preferred collection, electronically sign the contract, and pay 30% of the package cost to reserve your date with us!

 

Who will be there to film my wedding?

Mario is the lead cinematographer for all weddings. He will be there along with one of our skilled second videographers. Fran does not film at the weddings, as she exclusively leads the editing team.

What’s your turnaround time?

Roughly 4-6 months, depending on the time of year. We put a lot of time and attention to detail into each wedding film.

Do you travel outside the bay area?

We love to travel outside of the Bay Area! For destination weddings, we only ask that you cover our flights, accommodations, and a small per-diem. Then we are good to go!

 

Do you have a preferred vendors list of wedding professionals you love to work with?

Absolutely! Let us know what you are looking for and we would be delighted to send you a list of talented vendors who we love to work with!
