          I'm a documentary-style wedding videographer based in sunny San Diego. What began as a simple passion for capturing everyday moments and adventures has grown into a full-time career, one that allows me to tell incredible love stories for a living. 

         I bring a thoughtful, experienced perspective to every wedding I film. My approach to videography is grounded in observation and trust, creating space for real moments to unfold while shaping a film that feels cohesive, elevated, and true to you.

      My experience comes from a blend of self-teaching, technical film background, and my own unique filmmaking style I have crafted over the years. I’m endlessly grateful to be part of such meaningful and unforgettable days. 

      Technically, my journey began at 13, filming travels with family and friends, but it truly started when I moved to California to attend college. The beauty around inspired me to pursue film seriously and I started Adelaide Shea Films in 2021. Now, five years later, I’m still capturing wedding days with the same love and passion as I did when I started.

       Film has a unique way of making you feel something long after the moment has passed. I’m inspired by telling love stories that unfold like a narrative, emotion-driven and intentional, rather than a montage of moments.

Refined Storytelling

Inspiration 03

          Watching my couples’ vision and personalities come to life through thoughtful design is one of my favorite parts of documenting a wedding. From meaningful traditions to fashion and unique details, these elements shape a story that feels personal.

Intentional Details

Inspiration 02

          Travel has always been a source of inspiration for me. Experiencing new environments and cultures fuels my creativity, with each setting adding its own texture and rhythm to the story.

        My approach as a documentary style videographer is rooted in observing, not directing. I blend the quiet in-between moments with the unforgettable highlights to create a film that feels true to you. Here, authenticity leads the way and the edit feels natural, never staged or overly produced. The result is a visual story that captures not just how your day looked, but how it felt.
