I can not say enough about Natalie and Shawn. My husband and I got married on May 1st. Natalie and Shawn did a great job and we knew they were there filming but they were never on the way. We can't wait to see our video. If anyone needs a great videographer team look no further than Acorn films. read more

Acorn Films - Videographers Near Me

To simply put it- Acorn Films gets it. My wife and I have been together for nearly a decade before tying the knot at Park Winters in Winters, California. To say the least, we needed everything to be just as we imagined it would be back in high school. Acorn delivered on all accounts. The real work started months before where Acorn would be hand-in-hand with us sharing previous videos to give us a feel of their work, contacting us for song choices and asking all the right questions to capture every detail of our special day. They were also extremely attentive to emails/calls whenever we had them. We had a 250+ person wedding in an indoor/outdoor venue with an outdoor ceremony & dinner with dancing indoors. The grounds of our venue were HUGE- lots of land with rolling hills, beautiful fields, lots of green with an almost southern luxury charm. PLUS, it was a dusk wedding and the majority of the wedding took place at night... outdoors.. any photographer or videographer would have a challenge, but not Acorn- they nailed it! Their equipment is top notch. Their style defaults to the client. Their experience is deep, and you can tell they LOVE what they do. Being a newly married couple & starting a family, this husband & wife team really adds an element of pride to their work that is so fresh in memory and passion. My wife and I would recommend them to anybody, for any style wedding, any time of year. To simply put it- Acorn Films gets it. read more

I hired Acorn Films after much prodding from my mom. When I was planning my wedding, I was convinced I didn't want a videographer. I mean, who actually likes to see themselves on film? It feels so awkward! But, due to my mom's persistent nagging, I caved and started looking at videographers. That's how I found Acorn Films! As a newer business, they were very reasonably priced and were a total pleasure to work with. At the time that I signed the contract with Acorn Films, they had zero Yelp reviews (and zero reviews anywhere I could find!). So, I kind of went out on a bit of a limb. As the months passed between signing the contract and my wedding, I saw more and more of Shawn & Natalie's work through their Vimeo channel and blog. And I was really pleased with what I saw! You can tell that their editing work is just getting better and better. Fast forward to May, and my wedding day. Shawn & Natalie showed up right on time (if not a little early), set up, worked with the photographers and the DJs, and filmed away. When our photographer wanted to drive out closer to the ocean for a bit of a photoshoot, Natalie even helped drive me and my bridal party over. I barely noticed their presence at the wedding. Now onto the final product: the videos. You know, I hate to say it, but my mom was right all along. Videos are just so much different than photographs. Watching the short film made me feel like I was back at my wedding again. It's just different -- and I'm glad I went with a videographer. I loved my short film, it really captured the emotions of the day. The longer main film is something that I probably won't watch on a regular basis, but man... the short film. Totally worth it! Shawn & Natalie really captured some great angles of the first dance, the ceremony, everything. In many ways, photographs capture the best moments of your wedding. But to me, video captured some of the best memories. Seeing my now-husband recite his vows to me? Priceless! tl;dr -- Shawn & Natalie from Acorn Films are great, wonderful to work with, and I love my video. read more

Shawn and Natalie filmed our wedding back in October at Murrieta's Well. I cannot even begin to say what an amazing job they did creating our wedding day on film. From our pre-wedding meeting to getting the end product, it was seamless. They are so friendly and really listen to what you want to focus on. They were at our hotel as me and my bridesmaids & groomsmen were getting ready and captured all detail shots and our special time getting ready for the big day. They, somehow, got every single special moment from the morning and were almost invisible to us. We barely even noticed they were there. Then they followed us to our venue to capture our first look and proceeded to follow us thru every step of the day: family pictures, ceremony, first dances, speeches, cake cutting, everything. They were so calm and attentive throughout the day, which is what we needed...as weddings can be a bit stressful at times. They were kind enough to stay for our departure, even though it was more hours than we had booked them for. The wedding footage and short film was sent to us within a month or two. When we watched the footage, it was like reliving our wedding day over again. They completely captured the emotions, laughter and happy tears we experienced that day. It is our favorite momento from our wedding and we will cherish this video for all the years to come. Natalie and Shawn are professional and will make you the best memories you could ever wish for. Thank you for capturing ours! read more

Acorn Films did an outstanding job capturing my husband and I's wedding day! Shawn and Natalie were extremely accommodating, easy to work with, and immediately put us at ease day of. I was worried that having a videographer(s) might feel intrusive during the wedding, but that was not the case at all! Shawn and Natalie were great at capturing all our big moments without us ever really knowing they were there. We are absolutely thrilled with our wedding video and have so many friends and family members reach out to share how much they love our video. We could not be more pleased and highly recommend working with Acorn Films! read more

Natalie and Shawn of Acorn films were an absolute dream to work with. Looking back at our wedding, I cannot imagine not having them and their work there that day. They are amazing artists and even more incredible and kind people. They went above and beyond in the editing process to make sure my wife and I had exactly what we wanted. If you are interested in a wedding video to cherish forever, there is no better place to start than Acorn Films. read more

We LOVE Acorn Films! Shawn and Natalie filmed our wedding last October 2013 and to say they captured our day perfectly is an understatement. They made both of us feel VERY comfortable & made our wedding video better than we could ever imagine. We actually watched the final wedding video and kept saying "Who's wedding is this!?! Ours!?" They pay attention to every detail and spend extra time making sure you are getting everything you want and more. The final editing of the video is creative and absolutely beautiful. They both remain very calm and happy during the big day which in turn makes you as the bride and groom feel comfortable and stress-free! Our final wedding video is such a gem and we are SO glad that we chose Acorn Films for our big day. We have such a special video to reminds us of our amazing wedding day that we can watch for years to come! Thank you Shawn and Natalie for being professional, kind, talented, friendly and just plain AMAZING! read more

Natalie and Shawn were a wonderful team to work with! They were so nice and fun, and got amazing shots of our wedding day without us realizing they were doing so! The video is absolutely beautifully done, and I wouldn't change a thing! They captured all the highlights and speeches, and it's a wonderful keepsake. Hire them if you can-- they're the best! read more

Acorn films is simply excellent. Shawn and Natalie filmed our wedding in May 2017, and our video was STUNNING. The couple is so easy to work with, and you can tell that they absolutely love what they do - so refreshing and reassuring when you want to make sure all the love and beauty of the day gets captured. They had never worked with our photographer before, but immediately hit it off and worked seamlessly together, blending into the background when appropriate and jumping in to make suggestions when they saw something amazing that they wanted to capture. Leading up to the wedding, Natalie worked with us on the timeline, had a questionnaire about what we wanted captured, and provided a list of things to set out for detail shots (and a reminder a few days before to actually pack those things, a lifesaver!). Shawn and Natalie came so prepared and excited to shoot on the day of the wedding and made us feel so natural in front of the camera. They are extremely talented, such a pleasure to work with, and made the memory of our special day absolutely perfect. And for anyone deciding yes/no on videography for their wedding - this is one thing you will not regret spending money on. Pictures are priceless, but only a video can truly capture the real feel of the day, the voices, the movements, the sentiments, and it has the ability to take you back to those moments that just flew by. Videography wasn't initially in the budget for us, until our parents and other married couples convinced us that it was worth it - and ohhh man were they right. I can't imagine our special day without Shawn and Natalie there to capture it. read more

Shawn and Natalie filmed a short pregnancy announcement video for us and words cannot even express how grateful I am to have this footage! They spent a whole afternoon at our house, capturing some of our "everyday" moments as a family of three (soon to be four). They had great ideas, were so fun and easy to work with, and even picked the perfect song for our video. It really felt like we were just hanging out with friends all day. The finished product was better than I imagined it would be, and we loved being able to announce our pregnancy in a special way! I cannot say enough about their professionalism, creativity, and overall joyful presence. Thank you Shawn and Natalie! read more

Shawn and Natalie did such a great job capturing our wedding! We love watching our wedding video and sharing it with our family and friends!

Thank you so much acorn films, we will cherish the video forever! read more

Shawn and Natalie are amazing at what they do! It was an absolute pleasure to have them capture our Lake Tahoe wedding. They truly were able to create a video that described our wedding day to a T! Every image and detail they chose to put in our video were perfect - they were able to capture our emotions and highlight all of the special aspects of our day. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone thinking about a videographer for their special day! Thank you thank you for giving us something we can enjoy forever!! read more

Natalie and Shawn are the best! They were so easy to work with through the whole process and we are so happy with our wedding video. We truly can't thank them enough for capturing such beautiful footage of our wedding day. We are so happy we will always have the video to relive the day- hear the speeches from our family and friends, experience our ceremony again and again, see our loves ones dancing and celebrating. As they say, the day goes by in the blink of an eye- thank you Natalie and Shawn for capturing these special memories for us! read more

Acorn Films (Natalie & Shawn) were amazing to work with! They were very responsive when I first reached out to them and continued to be throughout our wedding planning process. On the day of the wedding, they were both so fun to be with and helped the process move effortlessly. The video that they created for us was BEYOND beautiful and captured all of our favorite moments. I will turn to them again in a heart beat if I have another need for videographers - wonderful people and wonderful video. You'll really enjoy working with them. Thanks, Natalie and Shawn! read more

Absolutely spectacular job capturing our special day. We never even noticed them there during ceremony or the reception. And when they took some shots of just the two of us, it was nice to have some direction on where to look and what to do. The end outcome was so lovely. The music and the shots turned out great. Thank you so much! (Also, these guys were two of the sweetest people we worked with!) read more

We couldn't be happier with our decision to have Natalie and Shawn photograph our wedding. We absolutely love how our pictures turned out and can't stop looking at them to relive the day. Natalie and Shawn were so easy to work with and made two people who are not comfortable in front of the camera feel totally at ease. They were so organized on the day of the wedding and they got every picture we wanted with us and our guests plus many many more. We can't thank them enough for capturing the memories perfectly! read more

Shawn and Natalie filmed our wedding in July 2017. They are absolutely AMAZING! From the first time we talked to them, they were incredibly responsive, kind and professional. They are incredible at what they do-- from the communication ahead of time, to planning for the day of to the finished product-- they have thought of everything. The video was everything I hoped for and we have received so many compliments on it! Shawn and Natalie worked really well with our other vendors and seamlessly fit in to the day. My husband was initially hesitant about the idea of having a videographer because he didn't want to feel like he was on a reality show or acting for a camera, but this was not how it felt at all. We barely noticed they were around most of the time, but they still got everything they needed to make an incredible wedding film. I would absolutely recommend hiring a videographer if you are on the fence. Though it is a financial investment, our wedding video will be one of the main things that helps us remember the day forever and that makes it so worth it! We looked at several wedding videographers and I am so happy we settled on Acorn Films!! I wouldn't change a thing! read more

We love Acorn Films! Shawn and Natalie did an absolutely incredible job capturing our wedding day so beautifully. We're so grateful to have their beautiful footage so we can relive our favorite day over and over again. Not only did they create a beautiful film highlighting some of our favorite moments but they were such a joy to work with leading up to the day and the day of! My husband was not initially sure about being filmed because he was worried we would both be acting unnatural but Shawn and Natalie truly mean it when they say "You won't even know we're there". They blend right in and make sure to capture your true self. On top of that, they are incredibly sweet and friendly which is so helpful during a planning process that can be overwhelming. We are so glad we chose Acorn Films to film our special day! read more

Acorn Films did the videography for our wedding in April 2017. I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. From their immediate response time to emails, lovely personality in phone calls beforehand, to their amazing high quality of their product. They were a joy to work with! My big thing with a videographer is that I didn't want to always feel like I was on camera and it was a reality show. I honestly did not even notice that they were there. They have some ninja skills in their filming! Our video turned out even better than I could've imagined. They captured all EVERYTHING! The editing is remarkable. I could go on and on. We are SO happy we chose Acorn Film to be a part of our wedding!! read more

Hands down my favorite vendor to work with when planning our wedding. Natalie and Shawn filmed our November wedding at Cornerstone Gardens. They were incredibly nice and easy to work with, very great at responding to any questions or concerns we had. During the wedding I barely noticed them there, they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I couldn't have been happier with the video they made us, they captured the details and the energy of the wedding so perfectly. I love recommending them to my friends for their big day, definitely a great choice! read more
