My partner and I researched a bunch of photographers and videographers for our wedding, and we…read moreultimately went with Big Day Memories because the price for the service level we wanted was very competitive and we valued that they could do both and flex their service to our needs. It's now after our wedding and we're happy to review the service very positively. In addition to our wedding coverage, we also booked engagement photos with Big Day Memories and they were easy to work with to extend extra service, fold the cost into our contract and account with them, and provide the photos soon after (which we then displayed some during our wedding a few months later). We had a destination/adventurous engagement photoshoot and the Big Day Memories photographer (Alex) was very accommodating with how to meet/find us, send up the drone to try and get some special shots, and followup with traditional posed engagement photos at a nearby sculpture garden. For the wedding we had Masha as our primary photographer, and then we also had an assistant photographer and a videographer. They worked well as a team and had their own communication radios to coordinate. We had limited time at our venue before the ceremony started and the BDM team worked hard to get lots of shorts in with our getting ready, first look, and bridal party. We had some clothing changes and we stepped out from our reception dinner to do sunset photos. The BDM team took down our day-of schedule and were always ready when we needed to hit our important photo sessions. Throughout the process, communication with BDM project manager was always responsive. We always had total confidence that they knew what we wanted, what was important to us, and were on board with our plans for our big day. This is something we really appreciated and it was really great to see the same level of competence extended to the professional photographers and videographer we worked with at our wedding. We received sneak peek processed photos within 5 days of the wedding, which was way faster than we expected. They are looking gorgeous and we are eagerly anticipating the edited video and remaining photos. We hope to never need to get married again, but if we have any other big days coming up that we want to capture with great photography coverage, Big Day Memories will get our business again.

One of the biggest pieces of advice I can give any couple is to invest in an amazing photo and…read morevideo team because after your wedding day is over, these are the memories you'll have forever. My husband and I booked Big Day Memories' Premium Package for our wedding at the Hotel del Coronado, and we couldn't have made a better choice. From the very beginning, the experience was incredible. We had 2 photographers, 2 videographers, drone coverage, a posing master class before the wedding, teaser reels, a highlight film, and a full wedding movie. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and the team made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. It was truly an honor to work with Masha and Ivan, along with Julia and the rest of the Big Day Memories team. Every single person showed so much dedication, professionalism, and genuine passion for what they do. You could tell they weren't just there to do a job... they were fully invested in making our wedding day perfect. Even our family and guests commented on how hard they worked and how committed they were to capturing every special moment! They somehow managed to be everywhere at once while never making us feel overwhelmed. They worked seamlessly with all of our vendors and kept us laughing, relaxed, and enjoying every second of the day. When we received our sneak peeks, we were absolutely blown away. Every photo is timeless, emotional, and beautifully tells the story of our wedding day. Looking through them instantly brought us right back to every feeling from that day. Looking back, I honestly miss them! It was so much fun spending our wedding day with this team, and that's something I never expected to say about vendors. They felt like friends by the end of the night, and I genuinely hope our paths cross again someday. Thank you, Pasha, Masha, Ivan, Julia, and the entire Big Day Memories team, for preserving the best day of our lives so beautifully. We will treasure these memories forever, and we cannot recommend you enough! - Julia Kate & Tim Walker

We truly cannot say enough great things about Dave and Samantha from Light Up Video. From start to finish, their professionalism, creativity, and genuine passion for their work blew us away. From our very first interaction, they were responsive, kind, and full of positive energy. They created a custom quote tailored to our unique event, which was not only more flexible than what others were offering, but also extremely reasonable. Their response time is quick and they're very transparent when it comes to pricing, timeline and what's achievable. Even though they're based in LA, they traveled to San Diego to capture our day and didn't balk at the initial reach out. That level of professionalism, attentiveness, and accommodation really set them apart from the many vendors we explored during the hiring process. Dave and Samantha brought a can-do attitude and sharp creative perspective that made the entire experience feel collaborative and exciting. They listened to our vision, offered thoughtful suggestions without ever pushing an agenda, and elevated the final product far beyond what we imagined. Samantha handled all the logistics and drone work with grace and precision, and Dave captured our elopement with an artist's eye. From planning through final delivery and everywhere in between, every detail was handled with care.
