There are plenty of videographers out there who will try to upsell you on packages you don't need, or overcharge for baseline services. I describe Braven as a hidden hem. His pricing is fair but most of all, his work is absolutely extraordinary. He captured scenes throughout the day that we didn't have the chance to fully enjoy in the moment, and having these films to look back on is the greatest gift of all. It truly feels like we are reliving the day all over again every time we watch. His communication was prompt and clear, and the day-of, we hardly even noticed he was there (in the best way possible). We are endlessly grateful to Braven and his best-in-class team! read more

Carver Weddings - Videographers Near Me

​I cannot speak highly of Braven and my experience working with him! He was extremely responsive leading up to the wedding day, and made sure to ask all the important questions. It put me at ease knowing he truly cared about the outcome. The day of the wedding, he provided enough direction and made sure that every shot was captured. Every single person that interacted with him said the same thing "He really knows what he's doing!" or "He was FANTASTIC. We can't wait to see the final product". The final videos were truly AMAZING. They turned out better than I could've imagined and we felt like he captured everything so perfectly. The shots, the style of filming, and the way it was edited together - all were perfect. Everyone who has seen the final products said the same thing. 12 out of 10! read more

Braven and his team were our wedding photographers and videographers. We could not be happier about the quality of the pictures/video that they presented. Braven understood exactly what we were looking for in the video and delivered an absolutely beautiful story. He captured the entire energy and romance of that day. Watching the video and looking at our pictures put a huge smile on our faces every time. Thank you so much for your hard work and professionalism! read more

My husband and I were married at The Villa SJC this spring and Carver Weddings did our videography. Braven was laid back, flexible and accommodating. He was friendly and professional, and worked well with our photographer. We adore the video he created and have received many compliments on it from friends and family. The film is crisp and bright with seamless transitions. Not only did he document the details of our big day, he captured the mood. We've thoroughly enjoyed reliving some moments and seeing others for the first time. We will treasure the videos forever. Thank you, Braven! read more

So happy we had the privilege of working with Braven for our wedding. He made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day and was fun to be around! He worked hand in hand with our photographer to ensure every moment was captured! Not only does he have a great personality, but his quality of work is like no other. We are so happy we selected him to film our wedding. The video is such high quality and really recaps the entire day. Our parents have joked saying that the film should be nominated for an Oscar, ha. He also got all of our films back to us in less than a month! The turnaround timing was so impressive. We unfortunately had to change our wedding location & date due to COVID, and he was extremely accommodating. Having a wedding video is worth every penny!!! I could not be happier that we selected Braven to document our special day! Look no further with Carver Weddings - you will not regret it! read more

I highly recommend Braven as your videographer. He does absolutely beautiful work!! We weren't sold on doing the video of our wedding but when I saw what Braven produced, I knew we made the right decision! Before the wedding he was always easy to get hold of and answered questions very quickly. During the wedding, I didn't even notice him and after the wedding he was just as responsive and timely. I can't say enough good things about Braven and his work! Book him!! read more

Before getting married on 7/30/16, I watched quite a few wedding videos. I fell in love with Braven's style of videography after watching just one video on his website. The lighting was so clear the video scenes were never jerky or rushed. From the beginning, Braven was quick to communicate. After meeting in person, it was clear that he loves his job. He has a genuineness in personality and passion for filming and editing, which was important to me because I wanted a videographer who wasn't jaded in this fast-paced wedding industry. On the day of the wedding, Braven came on time and worked flawlessly with my photographer. I really liked how he got so many shots of my friends and family, as well as those romantic moments with my husband to be! Bottom Line: I've edited a few videos myself, so I can truly appreciate all the work Braven put into making our wedding video so beautiful. It made me laugh and it made me cry. He incorporated all of our favorite songs and I am just so happy with the outcome. :) Braven is a great person to work with and he is worth your investment for your wedding. Thank you Braven for our wedding video and we recommend Braven wholeheartedly! read more

We were pretty disappointed by our wedding photos, so my husband and I were incredibly relieved and ecstatic when we saw our wedding video created by Braven Carver Films. Braven did an AMAZING job in capturing our wedding! Whenever I watch our video (and I still watch it ALL the time, at least once a week haha), I feel like I'm right there again re-living my wedding. I love that I can experience the biggest day of my life over and over for years to come. Braven provided multiple videos, in addition to the lovely montage he creates, which captured every single detailed part of our special day. Braven was definitely one of my most favorite wedding vendors and we can't thank him enough for his beautiful work! Not only were my husband and I blown away with his video, but so were all of our friends and family members - we got numerous praises on our wedding and wedding video. In addition to his work being absolutely beautiful and amazing, Braven and his team were a complete pleasure to work with. Braven is highly professional and a laidback guy. While our photographer left immediately after her contracted time was over and could not capture our send-off, Braven came earlier and stayed past his contracted time to make sure he got every single part of our wedding! So awesome and generous! While they captured our big day, from the beginning to end, Braven and his team blended in and never got in the way of anyone or anything. Braven actually suggested great areas for shoots and cute poses that our photographer did not consider - we're extremely grateful for that. While planning for our wedding, my husband and I were hesitant about hiring a videographer. Now, after our extremely positive experience with Braven Carver Films, and the stunning product we received, we highly recommend everyone to have a videographer, in particular Braven Carver Films, at their wedding! read more

Braven was nothing short of amazing in all regards. He was very easy to work with and give ideas to regarding some locations and events we wanted captured for our big day. His development of video and sounds were incredible in fully embodying our big day. My wife and I have watched out video over and over and are so grateful for Braven's talents. Thank you so much for the memories. We have referred him to at least 4 other friends who have used him for their big day. Wish we could give 10 stars. read more

I was on the fence about getting a wedding video but I am SO glad I did because the video came out fantastic! Braven lets you pick the music so the video is really personal and emotional. He is great to work with because he responds incredibly FAST to emails and is really easy to work with/friendly on the big day. read more

I highly recommend Carver Weddings. They shot our wedding in February of 2017 at the San Juan Capistrano Mission and El Adobe restaurant. I love the movement, voices, and details that his video adds to my memories. I just rewatched my film after a year and it brought back so many wonderful memories! Braven is very professional, on time, and his product is simply amazing. We had a party to show our wedding photos and our 15 minute cinematic film and he had our guests laughing and crying. He is truly talented and you will be extremely happy with his video to help you remember your special day. read more

I'm not usually one to write a review as I'm always pressed for time, but after watching our wedding video yesterday, I just had to endorse Braven's work so that other soon-to-be-married couples could share in the pure joy that comes from the magical combination of Braven's skill, creativity, professionalism and attention to detail. First off, working with Braven was about as easy as it gets - very straightforward, smooth sailing, no gimmicky Wedding BS (which most planning couples are used to by the time they engage a videographer) - such a refreshing experience in the chaos that is wedding planning. Prior to booking Braven, we had watched a bunch of his spotlight films and it was obvious that he has a natural talent for capturing the couple's unique style - our own video could not have proved this point any better. Day-of, Braven was so perfect to work with. That said, I was not a controlling bride, I just respect the experts and let them do their thing. Now, I don't know film editing terminology, but Braven's choice of camera angles, music, frame speeds, clip selections, and whatever else is in his bag of tricks - it all came together perfectly in a beautiful masterpiece that will forever be treasured HIGHLY Recommend working with Braven!! Our video: https://youtu.be/ItIGivR7zAs read more

Braven and his team shot our wedding in September 2017 at the Bel AIr Bay Club in Los Angeles. We read a wedding tip that said it's a good idea to find a photographer and videographer who work well together. So once we found our photographer, she recommended Braven. It was clear early on we made a great decision with Braven. He began by conducting a Skype interview so he could to know us and understand our vision. He worked with us on a great package, one that included a second videographer (which we recommend, if you can swing it, because it allowed for more shots that might not have otherwise been captured). We opted for The Feature Package, so we could have a highlight film to post on social media, and a longer version just for us. On our wedding day, Braven and his team were polite and professional. They worked well with our photographer so it seemed like they were on the same team. Towards the end of the night, Braven grabbed us to do one last shot, which he used to end the film. It turned out incredible and really showed his imagination and passion for his work. Of course, the finished product was amazing. High quality, professional film that even my brother (who's in the film business) was wowed by. We cannot recommend Braven enough. read more

Braven filmed our wedding on 4/8/16. I am in love with the final result! Braven is easy to work with and has an amazing eye for what he does. I can't tell you how many wedding videos I have watched and none of them compare to his work. I never worried about our wedding film as I had full faith it would turn out amazing. Also loved that he was local! Originally I found him through my husband's cousin. Also, worked out that our photographer was friends with Braven too and both happened to be available on our wedding day! Couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you are thinking about skipping out on a video for you're wedding, DON'T! It is worth every dollar and I totally would have regretted not having the film to look back on. read more

Braven was amazing! The video we received was absolutely beautiful! We also had a photographer taking pictures and he worked extremely well with the rest of the staff. If I can give him 10 stars I would! You only get one shot at filming your wedding (hopefully) don't take a risk on someone else. Once you see your video you won't be disappointed. Braven, feel free to post my video as an example. THANK YOU! read more

My husband and I loved the video that Braven put together for us. I loved that he captured all the emotions from the day - but was totally behind the scenes the whole time; we never even knew he was there (which I really appreciated it). I would definitely recommend him to any couple looking to capture their wedding via video to be able to watch for years to come. read more

Braven was absolutely amazing. Our wedding video is better than I could have imagined it would be. I wasn't going to hire a videographer, but about a month out we changed our minds. Luckily, Braven was available. He capture EVERY detail of our wedding day - more details than I thought there even were. I hoarded our wedding video for about 2 weeks before I shared it with our family because every time I went to share it, I just watched it again. He was super professional and so much fun to work with. Braven even walked through the back alleys with us so we could get some really awesome shots. I love our video and I'm so glad we decided to go with Braven. read more

We had the pleasure of having Braven shoot our wedding video. To both my wife and I, having a video to look back upon our big day was paramount. We are so happy we were able to acquire Braven's services because his videos do such a great job of capturing each special moment in such a creative and artistic manner. When we received the final product from Braven, we couldn't have been happier and have had multiple family members and friends request his contact information. read more

Braven was an absolute joy to work with! He was so easy to communicate with and his video editing skills are by far one of the best in the business! My video is perfect and I could watch it everyday over and over. My other vendors, guests and bridal party all had wonderful things to say about Braven as well. I highly recommend him to capture your big day! read more

Hiring a videographer wasn't something I had initially considered when I began planning my wedding. However, after viewing a few wedding films (on various wedding blogs), videography slowly became something I had to have. I found Braven through some mutual friends, and after checking out his blog and all the great work that he does, we went ahead and booked him. To say that I am beyond thrilled with our wedding film is an understatement! I know that this is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives, and will one day show our grandchildren. Videography provides something extra that photography doesn't, and I highly recommend Braven to anyone planning their wedding. read more

I watched probably 50 wedding videos before selecting Braven as my videographer. The quality of his work is far better than any others I've seen. He spent 10 hours filming every detail of our wedding day and the finished product is everything we hoped it would be. Our friends rave about how great his work is. Braven is highly recommended! read more

Planning a wedding or large event involves hundreds of decisions. As time goes on, I'm forgetting what color our napkins were, or who sat at which table, or the flavor of the cake. But I know without a doubt that my wife and I will be watching our wedding video every year for the rest of our lives. Choosing the right videographer for your event should be at the top of your list. If you choose well, your video will be a gift that you have forever. Braven captured every our wedding in a way that makes it come to life every time we watch it. Not just anybody with a camera can do this. Braven has top quality equipment, many years of experience, and the creative vision to be in the right places at just the right times. My wife and I were blown away by the video quality and amazed at all the details Braven captured throughout the day without us even realizing it. He didn't miss a single moment. If you are planning a wedding or event, put videography at the top of your list. Talk to Braven. You will be glad you did...for many years to come. read more

I had to convince my groom that a videographer was worth it when we were planning our wedding, but after getting our film back from Braven, my husband absolutely agrees that this was a necessity! Braven and his assistant were great to work with on the wedding day, getting every shot they needed without needing any direction or ever getting in the way of festivities. Professionalism at its finest. And our video is beyond amazing! The quality of work is flawless and our memories of our wedding are captured perfectly. Watching it felt like being there again. If you're considering a videographer, hire Braven Carver. You will be so happy you did! read more

Braven and his team did an amazing job as our videography team at our wedding! We had a rough time with wedding planning, including the loss/sale of our venue site just 8 weeks before our wedding (we were lucky enough to move it to another amazing spot in time!). Braven's team was flexible and accomodating, and took changes in stride. The final result was better than we could have hoped for. Our Same Day Edit came out perfect- our wedding guests LOVED it and it was a great way to relive the day (which of course flew by!) before the reception was over. The short and long films we received after the wedding were great too- it captured the character and style of our wedding (and us), providing us with a great way to look back on our wedding day memories. We are so thankful to Braven and his team for their hard work and beautiful product! read more

Braven was a breath of fresh air. He was with us all day and worked very well with the rest of our team including the wedding coordinator and photographer. He was punctual, profession and pleasant! His work is phenomenal and I still cry each time I watch our wedding video (which has a cool music video vibe as opposed to cheesy wedding videos I've seen before). Cutting edge and unique videography makes your video something truly special to share with friends and family! read more

We could not have been more pleased to have Braven as our videographer. He went above with everything from start to finish. Every extra touch he added and idea he had was so thoughtful. We have referred him to multiple friends who have also been blown away by his work. Everything from his professionalism, to his courtesy, to his final product is top notch! read more

We are truly happy with the wedding film that Braven did for us. He captured all of the special moments during our wedding and reception in a way that also reflected our personalities. Not only did Braven film our special event, but he also has great editing skills. He produced a final product that we are very satisfied with. Its great to watch and relive our wedding day. We would recommend Braven to anyone that is planning their wedding. read more

I love my wedding video! You will want to watch your video over and over again. Braven is a true artist, he really knows what he is doing. He is very professional and worked well with the photographers. Overall made the day less stressful. The quality of Braven Carter films are amazing and very well priced. Definitely would hire him all over again. read more

Braven was referred to us by one of my good friends, whose wedding I was in over 3 years ago. I loved her video; it was so much fun to watch her wedding again. When my family, husband, and I were considering a videographer for our wedding, I knew he would do an outstanding job. There really wasn't a competition. When we met him, we knew he would mesh well with our other vendors and with us! To say we love our film, is a huge understatement. Braven was able to let us relive our magical day and we are forever grateful! I would definitely recommend him to anyone getting married and will refer him to others! read more

Braven is a childhood friend of mine, but our friendship was not the reason why I decided to choose him as our videographer, it was his incredible work! Braven met with us prior to signing a contract to make sure he could provide me with exactly what I was looking for within my budget. On the day of the wedding, Braven went above and beyond my expectations to capture every detail and special memory of my wedding- from getting ready, to the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception! He was always getting footage, but never in the way! Our video is incredible too - captures everything we were hoping for and more! I loved that he made sure to personalize it with song I selected. Thanks, Braven! read more

Braven was excellent! I had gotten referred to him by a friend of mine. I had seen her video and I knew I needed to have one. That was something I just had to spend the money on and it was worth every penny and more! He was also so great during our reception. Our day of planner just left and we didn't have any direction on what to do next and between him and my photographer they stepped in and got the things done we needed! He was also so easy to be around. It was wonderful to have all the special moments captured. He is super creative in his editing , my in laws saw the video and every time we watch it it makes them cry! We got to pick all our music and it was even more perfect than i imagined. We still watch our video all the time! Best choice/money we spent. It is something I cannot wait to show our future children. :) read more

Braven was amazing. We loved our video and were very happy with all our contact with him, from our first meeting to getting our finished product. He captured everything so well, getting everything I thought was important. He was easy to work with and he worked so well with our photographers. He was patient and easy-going and clearly knew what he was doing because it all went seamlessly, in my perspective. That day is very stressful for a bride, and I can remember my vendors who caused me more stress and those that did not cause me stress at all. Braven caused me no stress - he came, did his job, had such a calm spirit about him, and in the end we received a beautiful product. Looking back at the process, I would completely recommend him without any hesitation. read more

My wedding video Braven Carver and his team made is my favorite memory! He did an incredible job with our video. Everytime I rewatch it I feel like I'm experiencing my favorite day all over again. He captured all of the most important moments. The carver weddings crew were professional, thorough, and creative. If you are looking for an awesome videographer to capture your wedding, make sure to chose Braven! read more

Our decision to get a videographer was a little late in the wedding planning, but we could not be happier with the choice we made! Working with Braven was such a pleasure (and completely stress-free) and he produced an AMAZING product. The highlight reel was so much more than we could have ever imagined and it brought tears to our eyes. The footage was ready for us a little sooner than I had honestly thought, so it was a lovely surprise! So happy to have these incredible memories forever. HIGHLY recommend anyone in the area who is considering a wedding photographer to look into Carver Weddings. You will not be disappointed! read more

Braven Carver was our wedding videographer and truly captured our most special moments of the day in a beautiful way. He managed to be both a joy to have around and also blend in with our guests so as not to be distracting (no easy feat carrying camera equipment!). Braven captured the stand-out moments of our wedding day and the spirit of each of those moments. He has a creative eye and seemed to always know where to be to get the best shot. He sees the beauty in people and places and has found a stunning way to translate that in his work. You will love working with Braven and the way he captures your wedding. He also follows through with timelines, honors contracts, and works quickly and efficiently to get your video back to you. We have family out of state who was unable to attend the wedding, and they later said they felt like they were present with us because of the quality and personal touches in the video Braven created. We will treasure this video for the rest of our lives. Braven is a consummate professional who clearly values customer service and providing quality personal experiences. I would recommend him to anyone and am confident that he will exceed all expectations. read more

Braven Carver and his videography are phenomenal! From our first conversation to the final film product, Braven was kind, creative, passionate, reliable, and a joy to work with! Braven captured our wedding day and our love story impeccably! Working with Braven was a delight! He made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. His energy was just the right amount of celebratory fun and calm professionalism. Braven worked well with our photographer, following her lead, but taking initiative to get the shots he needed and wanted. While meeting with Braven prior to our wedding, he made us feel heard and valued. He understood our vision for our wedding day and captured the spirit of our celebration. Not only was working Braven a blast, but his work speaks for itself- AMAZING. We LOVE the quality, creativity, and emotion of our wedding film! Artistically, the movement and variation in shots and audio quality make his films surpass the rest! One of the things we loved the most about Braven's work is the way he incorporates audio clips of voices- vows, letters, and toasts. Every time we watch our wedding film I am brought to tears by the sound of our voices and our loved ones' voices on our wedding day. It was also special to be able to share Braven's film with our family and friends who were unable to attend our wedding. He captured every moment perfectly so that our out-of-town guests could relive our wedding day for themselves. Priceless! We are obsessed with our wedding film and look forward to viewing it for years to come! Wedding planning can be astronomically stressful and expensive! My husband and I vacillated on how necessary it really was to hire a wedding videographer. The reality is you don't NEED a wedding film in order to get married. However, a professional cinematic film of your wedding is one of the only tangible ways to hold on to the memories, details, people, voices, and emotion of the most important day of your life. Braven's work captured our love in a way photography and mere memories could not. Our wedding film is a lifelong investment and treasure that we will hold dear for a lifetime! We HIGHLY recommend Braven Carver Films to capture your love story! You will not regret it!!! Not only is a wedding film worth it, but Braven Carver Films are of especially good value. Other wedding videographers can be quite pricey and you receive a short 3-5 minute video of your whole wedding day- hard to justify that kind of cost for such a short product. However, Braven's films are the best value out there- and that sets him apart from the rest. One of the things my husband and I loved the most about Braven's work is the cinematic length of his films, upwards of 15+ minutes! You get the biggest bang for your buck with Braven Carver Films! Words cannot fully express our gratitude for Braven and his talent, creativity, and hard effort producing our wedding film! We will enjoy his work for years and years to come! A priceless treasure! Braven truly went above and beyond what we could have ever imagined! Exceeded our wildest expectations! Thank you SO much, Braven! read more

Braven and his team were such a pleasure to work with! He captured our real life wonderful memories of our wedding that my husband and I will be able to relive over and over again. After my friend had Braven as her videographer, I knew there was no way I could get married without him there! There was no question. All I had to do was show one of his previous weddings and I had sold my family completely. The video he creates is worth every penny, completely priceless. He communicated clearly, understood my bridezilla moments, and listened to the requests of our family. If you are looking for a videographer that is professional and UNBELIEVABLY good at what he does, then you should definitely go with Braven, you will not regret it! read more

Braven was really great to work with. He was prompt, never got in the way, and captured some really interesting shots! After we saw the footage, he worked with us on edits and delivered everything in a timely manner; we'd highly recommend him! read more

Braven's video of our wedding is amazing! I am so glad we decided to do a video- it all goes by so fast and this is like getting to relive the experience. Braven and his team were great, we barely knew they were there but they captured all of the special moments and put it together in a beautiful, and fun, way that we will love forever! read more

Braven came highly recommended by our DJ Dean... who was also excellent...
