We strive to perform all tasks artistically, from the first contact with the client to congratulating them on their wedding anniversaries.
Hello! Welcome!
Thank you very much for your interest in TatianaFilms!
Thank you very much for your interest in TatianaFilms!
We make wedding films, not videos. We get to know you, your family, and your story as much as we're allowed to, and based on this, we create a film that captures many aspects of the day: the people, the food, the vibe... everything. In the end, this film is incredibly personal.
The Product
What We Offer
We offer couples a 10-minute film in which I mix several different, non-cliché (not "Marry Me" or "One Hundred Years") music tracks, insert jokes, conversations, and blend behind-the-scenes footage with editorial shots. Essentially, I strive to create a product that is engaging to watch. At weddings, guests experience a range of emotions—tears, laughter, awe, affection, etc.—all in one day. I aim to capture all those emotions in 10 minutes through the editing process.
Another signature product we offer is a full-length documentary edit, styled like a reality show. Detailed description can be found in Collection 3.
And last but not least, we also offer PHOTOGRAPHY. Since I am primarily a videographer, I would assemble a team of people I work with and whose work I admire, so together we can offer a comprehensive package. I work with photographers of different levels, and some of them are award-winning.

Films by Tatiana Evseeva
Only two films are shown because I believe you found this page via IG or YouTube, where you can see the portfolio. If not, below this section, you can find a link to our YouTube channel, where you can see pretty much everything.
Filmed by one
Having a second videographer is not just about noticing the difference when you watch the final video; it's more about safety, having more angles, and the ability to film separate events simultaneously. It also offers different perspectives. I notice and capture certain things, while another videographer will capture others. Just in case, here are samples of both options. I do not have a permanent partner that I shoot with all the time; instead, I have a small circle of talented people to work with. One of them previously worked with an award-winning wedding filmmaker, another is a commercial videographer who enjoys filming weddings with me because capturing weddings in a documentary style is fun. There are two more, and each of them is special.
Filmed by two
After filming, I carefully select three things: First, all the words from vows and speeches that describe the couple, their story, about her, about him, and good wishes. Secondly, I select all the good clips, and thirdly, clips (not from the ceremony and speeches) with good audio bites. Then, I create a story that has a beginning, middle, and end. I also try to visualize the narrative. For example, if the speeches mention that the groom got down on one knee at some point, I try to find a shot where someone is getting down on one knee. This is just an example. Therefore, when watching the video, you see two stories simultaneously – one on the screen and the second one that will pop up vividly in your mind. The wedding day and what happened in the past. All of this is set to music that often changes tempo and mood, and the transitions between scenes are seamless and smooth, so a transition from evening to morning or different parts of the day feels natural. But because each shot flows into the next one in terms of meaning (and also in color, shape, and movement), it looks cohesive and vibrant. I believe that these storytelling techniques are why my videos evoke strong emotions when watched. Basically, I just told you my secret recipe for how I make my films. Keep it secret!

BIOGRAPHY
Hi, I'm Tatiana. I was born and raised in Moscow, Russia. I started filming weddings in 2010 and, until 2014, was making boring, perfectly staged wedding films in slow motion. Then one day, I found a wedding video on the internet that was fun, alive, effortless, bright, etc. Since that day, I fell in love with documentary-style films, which I continue to practice and improve with each film.
In 2015, I moved from Moscow to LA and began filming beautiful California weddings. To this day, I am impressed by the beauty of the light here. Outside of California, the light is different.
Astrologically, I am a Pisces. I love cats slightly more than dogs. I read a lot, enjoy serious cinema, and study storytelling techniques to apply them to wedding films.

Us
How does it feel to work with us
Before the wedding, we strive to get to know you better – what music you love, whether you are cheerful or melancholic, and we also share our extensive knowledge in the wedding industry. The booking process is as convenient as possible – you receive a personalized estimate, choose from two or three options, check the suitable one, and then have the opportunity to sign the contract and pay online.
On the wedding day, we will strive to film a lot and remain relatively unobtrusive. We will definitely share some funny moments together. We will get very close during the sunset photo session, but then you will go eat a nd listen to toasts, and we will admire you from afar. There’s a good chance we’ll also dance to your favorite songs, camera in hand.
After the wedding, you will receive content in parts – stories, a teaser, raw footage, and finally the final film. This will be spread over several months.
We treat your project as a creative endeavor, meaning we delve into it, write a script before editing, consider the important emotional moments for you, and create a coherent story based on what happens. I don’t know about you, but I end up watching it 500 times on repeat after creating it.

Watch the Behind the Scenes of a wedding we filmed at Villa Montalvo, Saratoga (above) and a sample of the final delivery (below).
I film a lot during the wedding day, including the vendors – the florist doing their job, the photographer, the organizer. We believe that vendors are also part of the wedding day, and it's always more interesting to see the whole picture rather than just the polished parts.
And a few words about our delivery – I use this AMAZING service called Mediazilla. It's like Netflix for wedding videos. It has its own app, can be connected to smart TVs, and most importantly, it offers a free account to my clients, which they say is forever. I also have access to all the weddings I filmed since 2018 (the year I started using Mediazilla), so if a couple reaches out saying, "Our hard drive broke and we lost our wedding video," I can reply with a link within seconds. So, this is truly not just beautiful, but also safe and convenient.
