Kauai Videographer – Sunsets At The Beach | David Marsh

Aloha and welcome to Sunsets at the Beach Videography, the creative home of Kauai videographer David Marsh. With more than thirty years of professional filmmaking experience—sixteen of them filming on Kauai—I bring both expertise and artistic vision to every project. From intimate elopement ceremonies to cinematic wedding films, from corporate events to documentary storytelling, I specialize in capturing life’s most meaningful moments in a way that is authentic, polished, and unforgettable. My Philosophy – Videography with Heart & Craft Videography is not about recording “just the facts.” It’s about telling a story. When you choose me as your Kauai videographer, you’re choosing someone who values honesty, creativity, and joy in every frame. Whether you want a simple record of your wedding ceremony for friends and family back home, or a stylized cinematic production with drone shots and sweeping camera moves, my goal is always the same: to make sure your story is told beautifully and with emotional impact. I offer three main wedding/elopement video styles: Simple, Deluxe, and Cinematic. Each package is tailored to the amount of coverage, the number of cameras, and the style of editing you desire. From short teaser-style edits to full-length ceremony coverage, from snappy highlight reels to polished feature-length storytelling, I craft your video with care. Why Have a Wedding Video in Kauai? To share your vows and moments with family and friends back home. To relive your special day for years to come. To complement your wedding photography with movement, sound, and atmosphere. To document the breathtaking setting of Kauai—the beaches, mountains, skies, and ocean waves that make the Garden Isle a world-class wedding destination. As many couples discover, photography freezes moments, but videography brings them back to life. Elopement Videography in Kauai Elopements are deeply personal and often intimate, with only a few witnesses or just the two of you. That’s why most couples choose the Simple Elopement Video, which includes up to 45 minutes of coverage, 2 cameras, and a professionally edited abridged video (4–5 minutes) or teaser (about 2 minutes). This package is designed to let your friends and family see the “I do” moment as it happened, while keeping things elegant and straightforward. For couples who want a little more, the Simple Plus Elopement includes professional wireless audio and a longer 1-hour shoot. If you’d like more elaborate coverage with multiple videographers, gimbal shots, and cinematic flair, the Deluxe Elopement Package delivers just that—3 cameras, professional audio, and a polished, music-edited highlight reel. Pricing at a Glance Simple Elopement – From $750 Simple+ Elopement – From $960 Deluxe Elopement – From $1500 Cinematic Wedding Videography – By quote (depending on scope, hours, and creative direction) Optional add-ons include professional wireless audio, second videographer/gimbal operator, long linear edits (full ceremony), extra hours, or drone coverage. Cinematic Wedding Videography If you want something truly special, cinematic videography is the way to go. In filmmaking, “cinematic” means video that feels like it belongs on the big screen—sweeping aerial drone shots, carefully designed camera movements, dramatic pacing, and editing that heightens emotion. This option is ideal for weddings with guests, receptions, and multi-hour events, but even small elopements can be transformed into cinematic treasures. Examples of Cinematic & Thematic Videography: Cinematic Love Story – A pre-wedding film created for a couple who loved Country & Western, shot over two days with green screen, custom sets, and deep collaboration. Thematic Wedding Film – A Kauai wedding video with a karaoke twist—unusual, fun, and memorable. These films go beyond documentation. They are works of art, tailored to each couple’s personalities and desires. Beyond Weddings – General Videography in Kauai While weddings and elopements make up a large portion of my work as a professional Kauai videographer, I also create a wide variety of videos, including: Documentary Films – Capturing important stories, organizations, and local causes. Corporate Videography – Retreats, promotional content, and stylized brand storytelling. Model Portfolios – Professional reels for agencies or personal branding. Memorial Videography – Including traditional Hawaiian paddle outs, honoring loved ones. Tour & Excursion Videos – Boat tours, adventure tours, and promotional travel reels. Local TV & Web Commercials – Professional video production to showcase products or services. Educational Videography – For schools, nonprofits, and community organizations (e.g., Boys & Girls Club of Kauai). Gear & Production Options Most of my elopement films are shot with one or two cameras, often by myself. However, for cinematic projects, I can bring in additional crew such as: Licensed drone pilots for aerial footage. Gimbal operators for smooth, cinematic movement. Second or third camera operators for more dynamic coverage. This flexibility allows me to scale each project to fit your needs and budget.
