About
Darren Baca is the owner and director of Reel Eyes, a videography company built on a lifelong passion for storytelling. From a young age, Darren’s favorite toy was his parents’ video camera, as he spent countless hours creating movies with friends, exploring the power of visual storytelling. That early fascination grew into a lifelong pursuit, shaping the foundation of Reel Eyes.
After earning his degree in cinematography, Darren founded Reel Eyes in 2009 with a clear vision: to tell meaningful stories through the art of video. Over the years, the Reel Eyes team has had the privilege of filming more than 300 weddings, working with incredible clients, and traveling the world to capture these unique stories. Every couple’s journey is different, and it’s that individuality that makes creating wedding videos so rewarding.
When Darren’s not behind the camera or editing, you’ll find him exploring the outdoors with his wife Shelbie—hiking, backpacking, camping, or fly fishing. They’re avid travelers, fans of Giants baseball and Kings basketball, and, most importantly, they value time spent with family and friends.
