anyone know of a good videographer in the LA or OC area? I'm looking for one thats roughly $3500 for at least a 12-hour coverage. help!

I'm posting here too!

Mike McCaleb www.missionvisual.com  He's our close friend & is AWESOME.

I'm sure you'll get a great deal since it's on 'off' season.  He does video editing for the Knot as well. ;)

Sadly, I didn't budget for a videographer - I wish I had because I would hire Tom from Aqua Vivus Productions in a hot minute.  He's AMAZING.  I had the pleasure of working with him during my engagement session with my photographers (studio castillero) who collaborate on this add on to their package they call e.MOTION.  Together, they produced this beautiful video for us:

Here's Tom's web site though so you can get more of an idea what his wedding coverage looks like:

We haven't figured out that yet but maybe sometime mid next year? And mos def doing the e.MOTION! =)

Check out La-event.com.  I contracted with them, and they were accomodating and their rates were very reasonable.  They are posted on the website, you can probably contact them and see if they will be willing to do 12 hours.
