About Chersteen Colby Cinematography

I am originally from New York City. I have several years experience shooting and editing. I started doing videography when I lived In Los Angeles, but took a break when my youngest daughter was born and I moved with my family to Sacramento. I started up my business in the Sacramento area in 2017.

My path to doing videography was one of synchronicity, Coming from an arts background, I was involved in theater for many years. I found my video muse when I had to direct and shoot a play for video. I actually shot and edited my first wedding as a gift to a friend. I had such a great response, I knew I had to pursue this further. There is something so touching to me about preserving memories in this way.

As a videographer, my style is a mix of documentary with a cinematic flair: my work is classic, cinematic, fun and romantic, but above all, very much tailor- made to the individuals. In my wedding videography, I capture your day in a fully edited feature film, as well as a musical highlight reel that encapsulates the “highlights” of the day: you’ll want to watch it over as over and share it with your friends and family.​

My pride as a videographer is providing unobtrusive coverage, fully capturing all the fun and joy of your special day. Working on each film is a labor of love for me, tailored to the unique personalities and needs of the individuals.

In shooting, I am as discreet and respectful as possible while still being able to capture the best shots. I utilize an assistant when necessary. I will work with your photographer to make sure we capture all the important moments. I don't set up shots or ask you or your friends and family to pose for the cameras— my aim is to capture people acting naturally.

I want you and your guests to enjoy the day, without at all feeling self conscious. The best thing that I can hear is that I captured all the important moments of your day, in all and its detail, and you never even really noticed I was there!
