Stories worth

being seen.
Ruach is an Orange County creative agency. We capture your event in photo and video, cut it into reels people actually watch, and help you market it — for brands and individuals ready to be seen.
A full creative arsenal.
From a single shoot to a year-long campaign — we plug in where you need us and own the outcome.
Reels & Editing
Highlight reels, recap videos, and short-form edits built for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. Send us your footage or let us shoot it — we cut it to perform.
Marketing
For brands and individuals: social strategy, content planning, promo campaigns, and email and SMS that put your content in front of the right people — and turn attention into action.
Why Ruach
We treat every project
We treat every project
like the only one.
Ruach (רוּחַ) means spirit, breath, wind — the unseen thing that moves you. That's what we put into the work: presence, care, and the kind of craft that lingers after the lights come down.

From spark
to story.
Discovery
A quick call. We learn about your event or brand, who you're trying to reach, and what you need delivered — photos, reels, a recap, a campaign.
Plan
Shot list, run of show, must-capture moments, and deliverables — locked in before the day so nothing gets missed.
Capture
Event day. We cover it in photo and video while staying out of the way, so you can focus on your guests and your moment.
Edit & market
Edited photos, highlight reels, and short-form cuts — then we help you post and promote them so the event keeps working after it ends.
Meet the founder
The breath behind the brand.
I'm Kaiden Gillenwaters, founder of Ruach Creative Agency. The best moments at any event happen fast (a hug, a toast, a crowd on its feet), and they deserve someone who's paying attention.
By day, I lead media for a church in Orange County, creating content every week: live services and events, social media, graphics, email, and SMS. That rhythm taught me how to capture a moment, cut it quickly, and get it in front of the right people. That's what I bring to every Ruach client.
For bigger events, I bring in a trusted network of photographers, videographers, and editors, so you get one point of contact and a crew sized to your day.
Ruach (רוּחַ) means breath, spirit, wind: the thing you feel in a room but can't see. That's what I'm chasing in every frame. — Kaiden Gillenwaters, Founder
Questions, answered.
How does pricing work?
Every event is different, so we quote each project individually. Most clients choose from one of our packages, and we'll put together a custom quote for anything outside them. Send an inquiry and we'll get back to you within one business day with options and pricing.
How fast will I get my photos and videos?
Each package comes with its own delivery timeline. If you need content sooner, for a same-week recap or a social post the next morning, you can add rush delivery for an additional charge.
Do you travel?
Yes. We're based in Orange County and will cover events anywhere for a travel fee. For events outside Southern California, we may send a trusted photographer or videographer from our network, so you still get the Ruach standard wherever you are.
How do I book my date?
Once you're happy with your quote, a deposit secures your date and the remaining balance is due before your event. Dates are booked first come, first served, so reach out as early as you can.
Do I get the raw, unedited files?
Every package includes professionally edited photos and/or videos. Raw files are available as an add-on for an additional charge.
Can you edit footage I already shot?
Often, yes. Send it over and we'll review it first. If the footage is a good fit for what you want, we'll quote the edit. If it isn't, we'll tell you honestly and suggest what would work better.
What kinds of events do you cover?
Conferences, product launches, concerts, church and ministry events, weddings, private dinners, parties, and brand activations. If people are gathering for it, we can capture it.
