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.

This included meetings, timeline suggestions, and how we can make the most of his skills to capture the most optimal footage. He really took time to understand the vision we had for documenting our celebration. On the day of our event, Nile's calm and grounding presence was exactly what we needed. He has this remarkable ability to be everywhere while remaining unobtrusive, capturing authentic moments without disrupting their natural flow. His experience and ability to read the room allowed him to anticipate and capture meaningful moments that might have otherwise been missed. The final edited content tells our story beautifully - creating a chronicle of our celebration that we'll treasure and share for years to come.

My name is Jessica Odnoralov, I’m looking forward to working with you! Wedding videography has been my consistent flow of video work since 2016, and I’ve enjoyed having the opportunity to improve my skills with each new project. I am naturally creative, and always enjoyed photographing and recording fun moments in my life. I also love to travel and see new places, and love collecting memorabilia of my adventures. Plane tickets, stickers, bottles of sand from my favorite beaches, and passport stamps. Nature and exploration is food for my soul.

Do yourself a favor and hire her! We got married during the pandemic and she was extremely flexible and understanding of the situation. Her attention to details are exceptional which is so important to me. The video that she put together of our ceremony and reception is phenomenal. It literally brought tears to my eyes. I will say that I have high standards when it comes to these things and she fully met them. This video will be treasured forever. Thank you Jessica!!

We are trained professionals with years of experience who know how to get those amazing shots without being intrusive or ruining any surprises!

We are so happy that we chose Alex to be our wedding photographer. He was extremely professional and very communicative. He set up a couple of times to chat about what we were looking for in our wedding photos and videos and to make sure we were aligned in our timeline. Given his experience, he was able to provide us with suggestions which I really appreciated. The day of our wedding, Alex and his partner were punctual, friendly and kind. I was my own wedding planner so I felt like we were a little all over the place but Alex and his partner really went with the flow and were super flexible. They were engaged and very approachable. I cannot wait to see the pictures from our wedding. Their work is of the highest quality and I am sure they are going to be amazing! Thank you Alex and partner!!

  • Serves Santa Barbara, CA

Kindly Weddings is a team of professional filmmakers led by Austin Stoecklein. We have filmed weddings + commercial projects in just about every part of the world, for companies like Apple and Visa. Since 2010 we have been pushing the boundaries of what a wedding film can be, and our work has been seen by millions. Our goal is to make unique films, not generic wedding films.

We were on the fence about getting a wedding video at all. Most of the videos out there are cheesy and just not our style. Why spend the money? Then, we found Kindly. And wow, I'm so happy about it. During our first call with Austin, it was clear that he "gets it." He has incredible taste, and is excited about cool, interesting weddings with a lot of heart. As I described the vision for our wedding — an ode to old school Los Angeles taking place at the iconic Sunset Tower & Chateau Marmont hotels — we could see Austin's creative wheels turning. We decided to use a Super 8 camera to incorporate in the film, which added that grainy, vintage, home-video aesthetic to the final product. Austin also had the idea for us to send videos we recorded ourselves of our relationship and the time leading up to the wedding to incorporate in the film — making it not only a wedding video, but a story of our love. Here's one final anecdote to capture what made working with Kindly so spectacular. My husband and I both share the same favorite moment of the wedding: it was the end of the night, we were on the dance floor surrounded by all of our favorite people in the world, and Robyn's song, "Dancing On My Own" was playing. We were jumping up and down and spinning, and everywhere we looked, there was someone we loved. Forever that song will remind us of that moment. Well, when Austin sent us the final film, he had selected Robyn's "Dancing On My Own" to punctuate the final minutes. It took our breath away. We didn't ask for this song, or tell him this was our favorite moment. But he was there, not only observing behind the camera, but also experiencing the wedding with us, and he just *knew*. He knew the magic of that moment, and knew to capture it in the film. This is what you want in a wedding cinematographer. Someone who gets it: who gets the magic, who gets the moments that matter, who gets the story, who gets the aesthetic, and who turns it into the film you that almost 2 years later, you still watch every Saturday morning. Yep, we — two people who weren't sure we wanted to invest in a wedding video at all — still watch ours every Saturday morning because it's that special. Absolutely could not recommend Kindly more highly. Here's our video if you want to check it out: https://vimeo.com/374696258

With nearly a decade of experience, Ethan Monroe Sigmon is the storyteller, photographer and videographer behind Monroe Films, creating authentic stories told through cinematic wedding films in Los Angeles, throughout Southern California and beyond. The driving force behind Ethan’s work is personality; he and his team strive to create a personal experience from start to finish, telling your story with honesty, passion, and creativity. Most importantly, Monroe Films will provide you with a piece of art that allows you to relive your most cherished memories again and again.

Ethan was hands down the best investment we made in our wedding. Leading up to the wedding, Ethan was attentive, detailed, professional, and thoughtful when it came to our contract. He was honest and fair about his pricing (which is excellent), and he was thorough when answering our questions. As a former wedding planner, I can say with absolute certainty that I would hire Ethan as a preferred vendor without question. As magical as the day was, when we were on our way back to the hotel after the reception, we couldn't help but feel that the whole thing flew by in the blink of an eye and that we missed the little moments everyone told us to hold on to in the days leading up to the wedding. Not even 12 hours later, Ethan completely put those fears to rest. When we got our first trailer (the very next day!), we were stunned at how he was able to capture the smallest details and the biggest love of the whole wedding in just a 60 second video. And then when we received our highlight film a few weeks later, those feelings were amplified. He didn't just capture the big and small moments of the day; he captured our personalities, our stories, and our love. We couldn't recommend Ethan enough. He knows what he is doing and he knows better than anyone how to translate your story into a remarkable film. We can't wait to work with him again for future family events!

I have to say, our wedding videos are BEYOND. The more we watch them, the more thankful we are to have hired Jesse and his team. Besides the fact that Jesse was so wonderful to work with from our first phone call to the day of our wedding, he is so kind and has amazing attention to detail. He caught everything on our video "wishlist" and gave us some of the best tips before the wedding. He asked for our vows, speeches, and ceremony script ahead of time and then incorporated video shots with special words as they are played. All around, incredible! I'd hire him again in a heartbeat and recommend him to no end!

HEY! I'M ASHLEY! Aka, Your Professional third wheel! I am so happy you dropped by! I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts! (But I mean who isnt! I just cant help it!) FUN FACT: I speak switzerdütsch, aka a German slang. My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

Ashley is one of the most caring photographers I’ve ever had. She really went above and beyond even before I booked her. She sent out a timeline of how my session was going to go and even send me suggestions of what to wear. Then came the session, she made me really comfortable in my own skin and made me giggle so much with her awesome humor. I was really worried about how I would look, but when I saw the photos I was so happy I almost cried! She got all my best angles and captured my true personality in those photos!! If you want someone that goes above and beyond, takes care of your needs, and is FUN to work with and captures your best angles, SHE IS THE ONE!!!
