I cannot stress enough how much we recommend Alex and NY Wedding Films! He did an absolutely incredible job capturing footage surreptitiously throughout our wedding day, and then producing the most wonderful highlight reels. They are so beautifully done and we will treasure them always. We almost didn't book a videographer because of our budget concerns, but the prices are so reasonable, and the value of the product is beyond measure. Thank you for everything, Alex! If I could give 10 stars here I would!

Oleg was amazing to work with. From the beginning he was so responsive and communicative. He kept to his promised timelines and had our videos back so fast! He is very flexible when it comes to the style of video you want. We wanted something upbeat and unique, and the video he gave us fit our style perfectly! It looked like a vogue magazine come to life. He went above and beyond capturing amazing drone footage as well. Our wedding ceremony was at the Immaculate at the University of San Diego and reception was at the Skybox in downtown San Diego. Highly recommend Oleg to all my San Diego brides!

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are thrilled with the stunning work of Shutter and Sound! Their highly talented videographers perfectly captured all the love and memories of our wedding day, and helped preserve them in film. Reliving the day by watching our highlight video brought us and our family to tears of joy. Every beautiful moment was captured with crystal-clear visuals from getting ready with our wedding attendants to our sparkler send off at the end of the night. The drone footage and details shots also perfectly blended with the rest of the film and helped set the stage for our perfect day. We can’t thank Shutter and Sound enough for the creativity and care they put into making our wedding video. I highly recommend!

Hi there, my name is Caleb but most people call me Cook. I spent almost 13 years in the southeast filming weddings, events, corporate gigs and commercials. I moved to California in 2012 and pursued a different career. A couple years ago I decided to get back into event videography and started Cook Captures. When shooting events I have a very hands off candid style. I love to capture people naturally having fun, enjoying the day and creating memories. Every event I film is unique and each film ends up with it’s own story and narrative that fit the couple, venue, guests and overall vibe of your wedding.

We are over the moon with the work of Cook Captures! Caleb has a remarkable talent for capturing the essence of our special day. The attention to detail in every frame was beautiful and the video we received a was nothing short of magical. Our wedding day was a whirlwind of emotions (and windchill), and Caleb managed to encapsulate those precious moments, creating a visual story that tells the story of our love. The turnaround time for our video was impressive, and the presentation was beyond our wildest dreams. Each moment was thoughtfully edited, and the music selection perfectly complemented the spirit of the day. Caleb turned our wedding day into a cinematic experience we will cherish forever. We cannot express enough gratitude to Caleb for his dedication to preserving the magic of our special day. If you are seeking a videographer who goes above and beyond, Caleb is the one! We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and personable videographer. Thank you, Caleb and Cook Captures, for your exceptional work! Highly recommend!

Ever since I was a child it has been my dream to become a filmmaker. I love sharing my passion for film with my clients to produce stunning, high quality videos that can be cherished forever. My unique style of filming allows me to capture moments that would otherwise go undocumented and lost forever. Growing up on the Central Coast gave me an appreciation for the serene beauty of nature that I strive to capture with all my films. I currently live in Los Angeles where I work in film and tv, most notably on the Emmy winning show Abbott Elementary.

I'm Natalie.  I think I was around 10 when I asked if I could borrow my dad's old video camera. I don't think I ever gave it back to him until I was able to buy my own. The rest is history.  I then grew up and fell in love. I became a hopeless romantic. You could say that is why I chose this field, and yeah, to be part of those unforgettable moments is one of the perks. My only weakness is trying not to cry ON my camera. (I'm working on it) Thanks for dropping in! You ready to make some magic?!

My husband and I loved everything about working with Natalie as the videographer for our Carmel, CA, wedding. Natalie came highly recommended by our photographer, and with great reason. Personally, she and her assistant were so easy to work with. They were friendly, kind, professional, and attentive and made us and our guests feel comfortable. The video we received was beautiful! I loved that there was a mix of film and drone footage to tie everything together and the music choice perfectly complimented everything. Watching it brought back all the emotions and joy from our wedding day. We loved how she beautifully captured both the big and the small moments. We are so happy to have chosen Natalie as our videographer and cannot recommend her more highly!

We are known for and emphasize having very smooth, clean, and crisp cinematic footage; we like to have a clean modern cinematic production. What I am most proud of is that all the staff has an innate hunger for new creative challenges. I initially started this company to broaden my creative perspective and I am proud to say that I have a team who shares the same hunger.

Having Jay and his team as a part of our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. The quality of his videos, his attention to detail, and his ability to capture every moment in the most perfect way, gave us a keepsake that we will enjoy for many years. You often miss some parts of your wedding as the bride and groom, so being able to look back on our big day through his lens is absolutely magical. The highlight film and short films he produced were like watching a movie starring ourselves. He took the time to capture the footage needed to bring the day to life while still managing to be in the background. Even after the big day, Jay was very responsive in providing us our videos and packaged them along with some extra footage that captured all of the special moments made throughout the day. We highly recommend Jay and his team for capturing any of life’s big moments and we cannot thank him enough for all he did to make our day so special!

Eyes of Ian Media is a wedding video/photo company based in Los Angeles that is committing the most important memories of your wedding into a timeless moment you'll treasure forever. I am dedicated and passionate about capturing and crafting every distinctive moment in the highest quality.

I came across Ianʻs IG when I was trying to look for videographers. I really liked his content and messaged him right away. He was always super fast in his responses and answered all of my questions. I even asked him to live stream my wedding, which he hadnʻt done before, but did what he could to make it happen. Sadly, he was not able to have someone help him on the day of my wedding which resulted him in trying to do everything I asked on his own. It was really difficult for him to film, live stream, and include drone footage but he did his best and I appreciated him for all of the effort he put in. I got my video back rather quickly and was very happy with it. Ian is a wonderful videographer and is super amazing to work with. He even took one of the best pictures of my husband and I and sent it to us (we loved that picture a lot). You canʻt go wrong with Ian and I hope you all go to him for your video needs!

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!

At Drop Frame Studios, we provide professionally crafted wedding videos. Our team is led by Mario Oros, a seasoned videographer who combines his professional expertise from both the fashion and film industry to deliver the wedding video of your dreams.

I've had the pleasure of working with Mario at DropFrame Studios at multiple weddings now. After my first time working with him, I began referring him without even seeing his work yet. His professionalism and ability to step in and direct set him apart from many other videographers I've shot with. Then - once I saw the finished product and how stunning and cinematic the video was - I knew I needed to refer DropFrame Studios as often as I could. Couldn't recommend them more!

We were filled with a full of passion and desires capturing the real moments in a real love before ASF began in 2014. Six years, capturing the countless essence of loves later, we've grown to realize the love is never defeated, at least in a frame while rolling in a camera. The frame is honest ; The love never fails. ​ Every couple is our source of passion for learning the love. We are going to show you how to bloom your wonderful stories in a frame.

Sung and his crew are the best videographers in Los Angeles (if not in the whole world. *wink*) I had a privilege to work with Sung and two of his staff when we had our pre-wedding shot in Descanso Gardens during the cold, chilly December and on our actual wedding day on January 14, 2017. And all I can say is, they will work for you, worry less on how it will turn out because they have the best God-given talent and knowledge to make your video the best that you could ever imagine. Around 2016, my husband and I were brainstorming on who to hire as our videographers. Trust me, I am such a hard critic on wedding videos because I wanted to have the best memory of our wedding. I've watched many videographers' products and none of them reached my standards, modesty aside. I came across with April Story Films right on the nth page of "the knots" and as soon as I pressed play, I couldn't stop myself commending their work and cried on each videos I watched. I steadfastly emailed him and called him many times. Knowing his busy schedule, I waited and sure enough, he replied back to my query and set the meeting right away. I encouraged my husband to lock this deal in as quick as we can because I got the best feeling that he is such a great deal to have! lol! I am sorry, but I really feel like it is a no-brainer not to have him for your wedding. It is evident on his wonderful finished products that he put his heart out and brainstormed many smart effects on each videos that I watched. Sung, thank you so much for giving us the best memory of our wedding. You are such a great, genuine, and honest person. You are not just a businessman but you are a very kind hearted person who won our trust in so many levels. Thank you so much again. It was such a great honor. Our heartfelt gratitude to you and to your wonderful staff again. To your future clients and to the ones reading this long review looking for a great videographer, don't you every think twice. Email them as quickly as you can. April Story Films is the best in SoCal and surely won't regret every single penny you will spend.

Intimate and emotionally powerful. Visually striking and over-the-top cinematic. Intentional yet natural. We want our films to evoke the genuine emotions that you experience on your wedding day. Not just how things looked on the outside, but how every single moment felt to you on the inside.

Alisa and Oleg are VERY GOOD at what they do, they are very talented! They move fast, which is a good thing because it was like they were never there lol. Plus they knew what they were doing! The only areas of opportunities would be communication/responsiveness and the turn around time for the sneak peak photos. When we needed to contact Alisa for questions, it was very difficult to get a response. We understand she is busy, but a quick response acknowledging us with a follow up would have been helpful and put our minds at ease. We had to do a lot of follow ups and it was becoming a concern. The turn around time in getting our sneak peak photos was not as discussed or advertised on the package we purchased. Sneak peak photos were supposed to be sent within a week, but we did not receive them until 3 weeks later after multiple follow ups. When we reached out, we were not getting a response, so we had to reach out to Oleg. Oleg completed our videos earlier than expected and had to reach out to Alisa for us. Other than that, our sneak peak photos and videos are just perfect!! We watch our video everyday - Oleg caught so many good memories! And our sneak peak photos are just beautiful. We can’t wait to see the rest of the photos!! Thank you again!!
