Veno Bender
Hello I'm Veno (which for the longest time was a running joke that my name was really similar to the word Wine in multiple languages) and I'm a videographer/cinematographer from the Bay Area.
I became fascinated with films when I was just in middle school, trying my best to get my hands on the nearest VHS camcorder I could find (which nowadays is basically an antique). Fast forward years to later in life when I then decided to become a Wedding videographer and within 3 years developed a style that brings a cinematographers form of filmmaking to one the most important moment in peoples lives.
I personally believe the best way to capture this is through the raw and beautifully human moments that happen naturally, similar to a documentary or independent film. My influence comes from simple love stories brought to film that represent real life, mixed in with engaging color palettes, heartfelt compositions, and naturalistic lighting to create something truly unique for the art form.
Here are some examples of the movies that inspire me in an artistic and or fun way :
My approach is that of a director having the goal to make you feel like the executive producer of your own film (but with a lot more ease). To accomplish this I offer two different approaches of shooting each wedding. One being a further back camera person who observes the setting, and the other being more involved and in the mix of everything that is happening.
Each approach offers a different tone of emotion but evokes love, happiness, and a bit of magic nonetheless.
I pride myself in capturing beautiful scenes to last a lifetime, crafting every bit of it even down to the soundtrack used. Cause in my eyes, every shot counts in order to create a cinematic moment you can laugh, cry, and smile to for years to come.
