Sacramento Videographer Services
Looking for a Sacramento videographer who can coordinate state-property access, downtown production parking, and several locations across the capital in one day? Our crews arrive with professional cinema cameras, FAA-certified drone operators, and the local knowledge to manage the logistics behind the shoot. We work throughout the metro, including Midtown, the R Street Corridor, Capitol Mall, Old Sacramento Waterfront, and event coverage at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center.
Commercial filming in the City of Sacramento and unincorporated Sacramento County requires a permit, including productions on private property, but the responsible office depends on the location. City projects go through Sacramento Film + Media, unincorporated county locations follow Sacramento County procedures, and state-controlled buildings, parks, highways, and facilities require approval through the California Film Commission. We identify the correct jurisdiction, arrange property access and insurance, coordinate production parking and traffic control, and schedule around summer heat and winter fog. For corporate video, government content, recruiting projects, conferences, or brand films, the crew arrives prepared and keeps the production on schedule.

What We Do
A Sacramento Videographer for Government, Healthcare, Technology, and Corporate Brands
Professional footage is only one part of a successful production. Our Sacramento videographers begin with the intended audience, message, and result the finished video needs to support. The interviews, locations, b-roll, graphics, and final versions are then planned around that objective.
Sacramento’s government, healthcare, technology, education, agriculture, and professional-services sectors provide a wide range of stories. Finished content can support recruiting, public communication, internal training, sales presentations, event marketing, and brand campaigns.

Filming in Sacramento
What It Is Like to Film in Sacramento
Sacramento offers government, corporate, historic, industrial, and riverfront settings within a relatively compact region. Capitol Mall and the State Capitol provide civic architecture, Midtown adds Victorian and Craftsman streets, the R Street Corridor offers converted industrial spaces, and Old Sacramento Waterfront brings Gold Rush-era buildings and river views. Downtown Commons and the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center support conferences, sports, entertainment, and event coverage.
Commercial filming requires approval based on the location’s jurisdiction. Straightforward City of Sacramento applications may be completed within three business days after all documents are received, while productions involving parking, traffic control, closures, notices, special effects, or several departments can take up to 10 business days. State-controlled locations follow separate California Film Commission timelines, and production schedules should also account for triple-digit summer heat and dense winter fog.
Local Filming Tips (Save Your Crew Time)
| TOPIC | QUICK ADVICE |
|---|---|
| Permits | Commercial filming in the City of Sacramento requires a permit on public or private property. Soundstage filming is exempt. The standard City of Sacramento permit costs $100 plus applicable service charges and covers up to two consecutive weeks or 10 locations, whichever comes first. Parking, police, fire, and property fees may be added. |
| Weather | Summer temperatures regularly reach triple digits, so plan demanding exterior setups earlier and provide shade, hydration, and equipment protection. Dense fog can reduce visibility during late fall and winter, affecting morning travel, skyline footage, and aerial work. |
| Parking | Metered and unmetered spaces may be reserved through the city process. Approved no-parking signs must be posted at least 72 hours before filming, and metered spaces may carry lost-revenue charges. |
| Sound | Freeway traffic, light rail, construction, government events, cooling systems, and downtown crowds can affect interviews. Scout interiors during the planned recording window and identify a controlled backup room. |

Despite some tight time constraints, Beverly Boy Productions kept everything running smoothly and on schedule. Felice and her team’s time management skills were truly impressive, and they were always able to adapt quickly to any changes that arose.
Terry Cristain
Lana at Beverly Boy has been extremely helpful in finding me videographers in multiple locations across the country, sometimes at extremely short notice. The process has always been smooth, simple, and a huge relief.
Evan Stultz
Hired them for an exterior commercial shoot — not always the easiest conditions. The crew was well crafted, and the lighting techniques they used were truly top-notch. Gordon and his crew were able to create a range of different lighting setups to suit each scene.

Common Questions
FAQs — Hiring a Videographer in Sacramento
How much does a videographer cost in Sacramento?
Our half-day, single-camera Sacramento productions generally range from $1,400 to $2,000, depending on the crew, equipment, location, and post-production requirements. Larger or multi-day projects involving additional crew, several locations, aerial filming, and complete post-production may range from $9,000 to $15,000 or more.
Property fees, permits, production parking, traffic control, police or fire staffing, insurance requirements, travel, graphics, licensed music, and expedited editing can change the total. We provide an itemized estimate so the scope can be adjusted before production begins.
What types of videos do your Sacramento crews film most often?
Our crews produce government, public-sector, corporate, healthcare, technology, education, agriculture, and recruiting videos. We also handle executive interviews, public-information content, training videos, conference coverage, live streaming, documentaries, event production, and brand campaigns.
Downtown and Capitol-area locations support government and executive content, while Midtown and the R Street Corridor work well for startup, recruiting, lifestyle, and founder stories. The SAFE Credit Union Convention Center supports conferences, trade shows, keynote recording, interviews, and event coverage.
How far in advance should I book?
A straightforward weekday production on private property should generally be scheduled two to three weeks ahead when possible. A simple city permit may be processed faster, but additional planning protects crew and location availability.
Four to six weeks provides more flexibility for state property, Capitol-area locations, several shoot sites, reserved parking, traffic control, aerial filming, major events, legislative activity, and specialized crew. Police staffing should be requested at least two weeks ahead.
Can you handle filming permits?
Yes. We identify the agency, department, or property owner responsible for each location and coordinate the applicable approvals.
This may include a Sacramento Film + Media permit, Sacramento County approval, California Film Commission application, private-property agreement, insurance endorsements, neighborhood notices, production parking, traffic-control planning, and police or fire staffing.
A city permit does not grant access to county, state, federal, or privately managed property. Each location is reviewed before the production schedule is confirmed.
Do you offer both ground and drone filming?
Yes. Ground crews use professional Sony, RED, and ARRI cinema systems selected according to the project. Aerial filming is handled by FAA Part 107-certified pilots using professional drone equipment.
For drone work connected to a City of Sacramento permit, the production must provide the pilot certificate, aircraft registration, insurance, operator contact details, and applicable FAA authorizations. The exact flight is also reviewed for controlled airspace, temporary flight restrictions, property permission, pedestrian activity, and safe takeoff and landing access.
Flights near Sacramento International Airport or Sacramento Executive Airport may require FAA authorization based on the precise coordinates and altitude. State Capitol grounds and other state-controlled locations also require California Film Commission or agency approval.
What should I budget extra for when filming in Sacramento?
Possible additional expenses include property fees, city, county, or state permit charges, reserved parking, meter revenue, traffic-control plans, barricades, police or fire staffing, insurance endorsements, and venue access.
Summer productions may require additional shade, cooling, hydration, or schedule flexibility. Winter shoots may need a fog contingency, while aerial filming can add airspace review, authorization, and property coordination.
Dates involving legislative activity, major conventions, arena events, festivals, or large downtown gatherings can also tighten parking, crew, hotel, and location availability.
How much should a 3-minute video cost?
A compact three-minute video may fall within our Tier 2 range of $2,500 to $4,500 when the project uses one location, a small crew, and straightforward post-production.
More involved productions generally fall within Tier 3, starting around $4,500 to $7,500, and may exceed that range when the shoot includes several locations, aerial footage, custom graphics, extensive interviews, permits, or multiple final versions.
