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. Best wedding money we spent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?viVAKZzODr6E

I recently worked on an event with A Shot of Love Films in Los Angeles (I was the DJ!) I’ve worked with many video/photo teams but from start to finish they were professional, friendly and on top of their game.

Sagebrush Films

  • Storytelling style
  • Serves Santa Monica, CA

Sagebrush Films specializes in candid, natural wedding films. Weddings are awesome. Most wedding videos are corny. Sagebrush Films was created to fix that. We capture your day as it happens naturally, without the gimmicks and cheeseball editing. It should go without saying, but we film weddings for couples of any religion, orientation, color or creed.

Awarded Best of Zola
Most wedding videographers have no creativity. They recycle the same corny edit with a few speeches and a Michael Bublé song overlaid. Joel and his team are different. They delivered something that truly feels unique and fresh. Literally dozens of guest from our wedding have reached out to us and told us that we have the best wedding film they have ever seen. Working with Joel was a pleasure and we could not be happier with the end result! Our video is definitely something that we will cherish and revisit for many years to come. Thanks again, Joel!

What the team produced was just that, and more: an elegant, professionally-edited and moving film that captured all the right moments of our wedding day! It included impressive drone footage of the family home and yard where we got married. The two videographers who worked our wedding were friendly, warm, and attentive to our needs.

Julio Paredes Films 

5.0

  • Storytelling style
  • Serves Santa Monica, CA

Story Driven Wedding Films That Make You Feel. Photographs capture single moments in time, but they don’t tell the full story. As a videographer, my job is to help tell your love story by piecing together all the sounds and movements of your special day. It is only through video that you will be able to hear your partner’s vows or watch the magic of your first dance. Your wedding film is guaranteed to bring smiles, laughter, and tears as you hear and watch everyone’s joy. The rest of your love story is yours to tell. But if I do my job correctly, you will want to revisit this chapter over and over for years to come.

We were so grateful to have had Julio capture our entire wedding weekend, resulting in over 5 hours of footage (which he have watched all the way through!). Julio and Isela were a great team and were open to spending the weekend with a bunch of people they didn't know AND to adventuring through Yosemite for even more footage. We couldn't have chosen a better team to document this special occasion, thank you!

I cannot give Peter and Bridgette enough praise!!! They were incredibly communicative, kind, and helpful from Day 1, which was almost 2 years prior to our wedding!! They met with me numerous times to go through our proposal and make sure they knew exactly what we wanted to capture on our wedding day. They were also incredibly flexible when we had to increase our day-of timing only 3-4 weeks before the wedding. They were so calm and supportive and amazing on the day of. So, so easy to work with. We just received some of our shots back and they are exactly what we'd hoped for and FAR MORE. The perfect way to remember our day. I would recommend Peter & Bridgette over and over again!!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

I can’t recommend Amari Productions highly enough! We used their services for the videography for our wedding and they were incredible. The team was so kind and professional, and the final product is a beautiful video that we still watch now, years later. The short ‘teaser’ video on instagram was also a really nice addition.
