In an era dominated by motion and media, videography has emerged as more than just a way to document moments — it’s now a storytelling engine. Videographers in South Lake Tahoe bring technical skill, emotional intelligence and a deep appreciation for their surroundings to every frame. The Best of Tahoe focuses on the artists behind the lens who transform fleeting visuals into enduring narratives.
Though Brian Walker is widely known for his still photography, his work in videography carries the same sensibility — intentional, cinematic and grounded in authenticity. With years of experience shooting weddings and events across the Tahoe Basin, Walker understands how to let the action unfold naturally while still shaping a compelling visual arc. He balances artistry with unobtrusiveness, allowing genuine moments to shine. His editing style avoids gimmicks and instead leans into clean cuts, thoughtful pacing and warm tones that reflect both the people he’s filming and the landscape around them.
Dave Fleishman’s videography does more than tell a story — it serves a mission. As a longtime contributor to the Bear League, a nonprofit focused on coexisting with black bears in Tahoe’s communities, Fleishman uses his camera to educate and advocate. His footage often captures candid wildlife encounters, emergency rescues and public awareness efforts. But what makes his work compelling is its blend of immediacy and heart. Fleishman’s eye for drama and pacing is matched by a clear respect for the animals and people involved, making his videos resonate well beyond social media or local news.
Jason Chesebro brings a hybrid of precision and passion to the world of videography. His focus spans weddings, business branding and lifestyle storytelling, each delivered with a high-production feel that doesn’t lose emotional depth. Chesebro’s process is collaborative from the outset — he invests time into understanding the subject, then builds a film experience that reflects that vision. With a portfolio that shows off both sweeping drone shots and tight, intimate details, Chesebro manages to strike the elusive balance between scale and sincerity. His editing is crisp, his style cinematic and his clients’ stories front and center.
