We are the Webers! We like long walks in the desert, dogs, and tacos. We met in high school, dated for several years, and decided to take it to the next level and got married in October of 2020. Kevin is chill and one of the kindest humans and Val is outgoing and fun. We balance each other well! We have two labs, Onni and Stella. We got into photography and videography by just playing around with cameras. One day we just decided it would be a blast to make a career of it! Kevin loves creating for hunting articles and videos and Val loves weddings and maternity sessions!

“We chose Britt to do our wedding video and could not have been happier with our decision! We gave him absolutely zero guidance on what we were looking for and somehow he still nailed it! He was thorough in researching the venue beforehand to make sure he got all the shots he wanted and they all turned out perfect. Honestly we barely knew he was there the whole time which is what i wanted as someone who is uncomfortable in front of the camera. I’ve heard of couples having to keep redoing poses for videos but we had none of that, it was perfect. On top of all of that he was great at communicating and keeping me updated on timeline(super quick), affordable, and most of all very friendly and personable! I’d recommend Britt and his team to anyone looking for a videographer!”

“I looked at SO MANY wedding videos and they were all so similar and cookie cutter. They were lacking something but I couldn’t put my finger on it. THEN I FOUND JIMMY SHIN. I watched his videos and found myself sobbing at strangers videos! He made me feel like I knew the bride and groom after just 7 minutes. He's so good! Jimmy will take your wedding video and turn it into the most beautiful story. The video he made for us just so beautifully captured my husband and I's day! It's a video i'll cherish for the rest of my life. I can't wait for our kids to be able to watch it. UGH, seriously hire this man and you won't regret it.

“Mark and his team confidently tackled the task of live-streaming the service while also capturing amazing moments throughout the day. From the “must haves” in the ceremony to the creativity of the highlights reel, Flower Oak delivered on all levels. I come from a technical background (audio recording) and ran sound for our wedding, so being able to “talk nerdy” with Mark, while also being able to “let go” and let him and his crew do their thing to capture our special day was super exciting. He is friends with our photographer and having their collaborative energies together was the best of all worlds.”

Kurt had our sneak peak video sent less than a week after our wedding because he was so excited about the footage he got.

Their communication style was very responsive - they promptly replied to all of our texts and calls, making the planning process seamless. The quality of their work was truly professional.

“If I could give Chris more than 5 stars, I WOULD! He did such an amazing job at our wedding! Not only was he professional and punctual, but he went above and beyond! Helped me stay calm when we hit a couple bumps along the way, brought me water after the ceremony (I hadn’t realized I hadn’t drank any for awhile), made sure I had drinks throughout the night, but also made sure I ate before attending to my guests! He helped me take care of myself in the midst of the chaos! My husband and I read our vows privately before the ceremony and Chris already sent that over and I have cried so many times watching it already because he captured the moment perfectly! I can’t wait to see the rest of the footage! 10000/10 would recommend Chris for your wedding videographer!”

People love stories. They love hearing them, seeing them, retelling them. And when they want to immerse themselves in a good one, they most commonly turn to video. Since 2009, we've helped over 150 couples remember the story of their wedding day. And as a husband and wife team, we have a pretty good idea of what you'll want to look back on and see in yours. But, because this is your day and your film, we truly want to know what you want. That's why, we'll start by getting to know you and what big and small events, family and friends, and personal details mean the most to you. The end result: A wedding film that helps you relive your day.

“Finding the right videographer was incredibly important to us because we wanted more than just photos. We wanted to capture the voices, the laughter, the tears, the movement—every emotion that made our day unforgettable. At first, we struggled to find a connection with the work we saw, but after months of searching online, we came across Alex V Films, and his work left a lasting impression on us. It was exactly what we had been searching for. From the moment we met Alex, his warm personality and passion for his craft put us completely at ease. He took the time to understand our vision, showing incredible attention to detail and truly listening to what we wanted. His talent for capturing not only the big moments but also those small, candid interactions brought everything to life in a way we could only dream of. Alex was able to beautifully weave our vows into the movement and storytelling of our film, bringing each word to life. In my vows, I shared a memory about my papa. As he approached his final days, I asked him, “Papa, what can you tell me about love?” He gently touched his chest and said, “You feel it in your heart.” Alex captured this moment with such care; as I spoke the words, “my papa touched his chest,” the video transitioned to my wife, sliding her hand gently down my chest, mirroring my papa’s gesture. It was as if he had breathed life into our vows, capturing not just the words, but the emotion and legacy behind them. Alex made the experience of working with him enjoyable. Throughout the process, his communication was top-notch, and professionalism shone through every step of the way. He was attentive of our needs and made the process easy. Alex didn’t just record our day—he captured its essence. Every look, every laugh, every precious detail we wanted to hold onto is now a part of a beautiful memory we’ll cherish for a lifetime. These are moments that photos alone could never fully capture; they’re filled with emotions that will be felt and connected to for years to come. At the beginning of this process, Alex was a stranger. As we got to know him we felt as though he became a friend. We’re forever grateful to have found Alex, who created more than just a video—he created a keepsake of our love and joy that we will cherish for a lifetime.”

I believe that your love story deserves to be captured in the most authentic way possible, and that's exactly what I do—crafting films that feel as personal as the moments they represent.

“Anthony was easy to work with at the wedding. I was a DJ at the wedding I worked with him and from an artistic standpoint, what I saw of his work so far was great. Just like the rest of the vendors at this wedding, he went with the flow and went above and beyond to give the couple the best experience they could get especially under the crazy weather circumstances we had! Rain almost all day, thunderstorms, a tornado warning (it was an outdoor tent wedding) and some high winds that almost took out the tent! Despite that, he remained positive and fun. His needs from me were minimal (tapping into my sound system) and he made sure I wasn't busy when he asked me about it. If the rest of his work is as good as the little I've seen so far, you can't go wrong with his video service!”
