We’re James and Austin, and we’re absolutely obsessed with telling love stories. But not just any love stories, yours. For us, wedding filmmaking isn’t just about capturing the big moments (though we love those too!). It’s about the small, quiet in-betweens, the nervous excitement before you walk down the aisle, the way your partner looks at you when they think no one’s watching, the laughter shared with loved ones. We pour our hearts into every wedding film, blending documentary-style storytelling with a cinematic touch to create something that feels real, raw, and timeless.

James and his team at Next Chapter Film were absolutely incredible. Our wedding video turned out even better than we imagined! James perfectly captured the magic and emotion of our special day. The flow, attention to detail, and production quality were flawless. From the planning process, to the actual day, and even the post-production, working with James was effortless. He was so accommodating with edits and truly brought our vision to life (even though the initial cut was already perfect!). On the day of the wedding, you could tell James really knows what he’s doing. He guided us with ease, making sure every moment was captured beautifully. We were able to relax and just be in the moment, knowing he had everything under control. I highly recommend using Next Chapter Film for your wedding. The memories preserved in the video are priceless, thanks to James and his incredible work!

He is always in communication with his clients and goes above and beyond to make suggestions they didn’t think about to better improve their day as well as the service they receive.

While our goal is of course for you have have an incredible wedding film. That is second of course to ensuring you have an amazing wedding day experience. We want to make sure that when you think back to your wedding day that you think of memories of laughter and tears with family and friends, rather than us with our cameras in your face. This is why we prioritize candid, documentary-style filmmaking over forcing moments. We want you to live your story so we can tell it.

The team was incredibly responsive, and quick to answer any questions I had. They have a client portal which made communication easy and a lot less hard to keep track of. On the day of the actually wedding, the team was very sociable, kind, and personable!

I started to explore the world of wedding filmmaking in high school - thanks to my dad. However, it didn’t become a passion until he gave me the task of editing one of his wedding films when I started college. I quickly fell in love with combining visuals, music, and dialogue to create a piece of art. By the grace of God, I managed to do this full-time since 2020 in the - midst of a pandemic! It is a miracle. My craft is constantly evolving. and I seek to grow my craft to please my couples and my own dreams as a filmmaker.

Hiring Trevor was arguably the best decision we made in our wedding planning process! From our initial phone call, to our pre-wedding planning meeting, to the day of, to the video delivery process, he was attentive, thoughtful, and incredibly talented!! He worked so well with our photographer and was not intrusive at all throughout the day. He brought a calm excitement to our day. Our wedding video brought us to tears!! It so beautifully captured the joy and emotion of the day (and surprised us at how many awesome shots he got!) We will be forever grateful to Trevor for providing us such a meaningful experience and a video we will treasure forever!

If you’re looking for a San Diego wedding videographer, we offer a reliable and affordable service that’s available for weddings and other types of events. When Charlie (the owner) realized that the average cost of hiring a professional wedding videographer in San Diego is so high, he simply couldn't believe it. He set a goal to create a videography service that would be much less expensive yet good enough for most people. That's how our company came into existence. For video samples and booking details, please visit our website.

We couldn’t be happier with the video Charlie created for our wedding. They captured every emotional moment beautifully and the final product was like reliving the day all over again. The editing was seamless and the soundtrack was perfectly chosen. The video felt personal and cinematic at the same time. They were professional, easy to work with and truly went above and beyond.

Kim is not only an extremely talented videographer, but also a great friend you will want there on your wedding day. She really got to know my husband and I before the wedding to better understand us and it really comes through in our videos. Everything from the music to the transitions are unique to us and our wedding. Our videos are something we will truly cherish forever and it is all thanks to Kim. She is kind, organized, fun and so easy going you forget she is filming you all day! Also all her videos have a crying guarantee - both our moms cried within 10 seconds of watching our wedding video and even got some of the less emotional family members to shed a tear. We cannot be more happy with all the work she did and we are blessed to have her as a friend now. Run, don't walk to book Kim! Trust us you won't regret it or we owe you a white claw.

With a background in photography and graphic arts, the transition into film and video production was a natural one for us. We were drawn to wedding video in particular because of the unique opportunities and challenges of telling a couple’s story and capturing their personalities all in the span of one amazing day. There are few events that combine the disciplines of journalism, portraiture, cinematography, storytelling and live events like a wedding does. Oh.. and it also just makes people really happy to relive one of the biggest events of their lives and that’s makes us feel pretty good.

As a professional photographer, Shawn and his team of associates are a pleasure to work with. They are camera aware, don’t overly pose scenes, are extremely considerate about time, and are always very professional at the 20+ weddings and events we’ve worked together on. I can’t recommend this team enough!

My wedding planner introduced me to Desmond and Fine Art Wedding Film when I was looking for a videographer for my wedding, and my experience with Desmond and his team on the special day has been nothing but a wonderful pleasure. Desmond is probably the nicest person I've ever met and he was so patient towards us during the entire process. In the beginning, he sent us a very detailed questionnaire so he can gauge what's important to us, and if there is anything the team needs to avoid (which was super thoughtful because there were a few things I was really self conscious about). I met Desmond for the first time on my wedding day (we've had multiple emails and phone calls exchanges before that), and even though I was a busy bride, he showed me sooo much grace and kindness. My very introverted mom LOVED him because of how easy to get along he was. When we got the videos back from our wedding, you can tell that he spent a lot of time and love to making them, and my entire family cried at the beautiful footage and editing we got back. He also sent us a very beautiful package with a USB and hard drive with all of out special memories in it. Thank you so much Desmond and the crew at Fine Art Wedding Film for being such an important part of our once-in-a-lifetime event. Thank you for not only the videos, but for your kindness and professionalism that every person should have on their special 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.

My husband and I had the absolute best experience working with Trey and team. Trey truly took the time to learn about us as individuals, who we are together, what mattered to us most, and our vision for our wedding day. He is personable and professional and will truly feel like a friend that you are excited to see when the big day comes. Our video turned out better than we could’ve ever imagined and it is such a treasure to have such an elegantly captured representation of our day to look back on. It has also been the perfect way to share our experience with family and friends who weren’t able to make it. Watching the days events unfold through the perspective of a guest is such a cool experience and had us falling in love with the day all over again. Working with Trey was a flawless and stress free experience and took the pressure off us because he really was able to lead our team through the events seamlessly. We are so happy with the finished products down to being obsessed with the song choices he picked. He took all our feedback and ideas into consideration and just made our video spectacular. He is truly an artist in videography and we cannot recommend working with him enough!
