Recently, I worked with Charlie on a wonderful wedding at the Bali Hai restaurant in San Diego…read more Charlie came prepared, and he was very easy to work with. He had multiple multiple cameras to catch so many different angles and different vantage points of the celebration. I was very impressed when I saw the final video that he created. I definitely recommend connecting with Charlie to see if he is a good fit for your Once in a Lifetime celebration.

We had our wedding in August of 2025, and the videography Charlie and his team provided was way…read morebeyond my expectations. We were a last-minute booking for him and his team. Charlie was able to find a person to cover our wedding just a couple days before the wedding date. He has excellent examples of different styles of videography they could provide and what that pricing would look like. Charlie's website is perfectly user-friendly and was precise in their package descriptions and pricing. We personally did not want cinematic style videography that would require a lot of editing on their end. We wanted raw footage that we could keep for generations to show to our future children and grandchildren. The videographer did a phenomenal job at recording the ceremony and some of the reception in an authentic way that encapsulated the feeling of one of the greatest days of our lives. The videographer that covered our wedding, Stephen Daniels, had an exceptional understanding of Charlie's expectations on customer service. Charlie was constantly responsive before the big day and clear about when we should expect the files after the wedding. When he offered additional services in the emails, he presented it in a way that demonstrated his genuine care for weddings and events and not just an "upsell." I could see Charlie's customer service extend to Stephen. Stephen and Charlie knew we went with the most affordable package. Even so, Stephen set up a higher quality microphone and brought two cameras for backup. Charlie's website explains other services he could provide such as DJ-ing. Luckily, my husband is a DJ, but we did have quite a few live singers at our reception. Although we could not afford the microphone package for sound on the live singers, Stephen took the time out of recording to help one of the live singers with their sound quality on their devices. Our wedding was genuinely a DIY wedding ran by the power of Hashem and our community. When Stephen walked into the ceremony space, the most prominent visual part of our wedding, the Chuppah, a canopy in which many Jewish ceremonies take place was not set up. Stephen took time to help our friends and staff with the chuppah. Charlie and Stephen were not required to go beyond expectations, but they did that and then some. Although Charlie markets his work as "cheap videography," he certainly does not cheap out on the quality of their customer service and work. We were close to deciding on cutting out videography from our budget, but we are so pleased we chose to prioritize it as an essential part of our wedding day. https://youtu.be/FiME9qY3UMk?si=NK6riLqz9mXp9z3o

Ryan and I have become very close friends over the years. He goes out of his way to take care of me! I would like to give a Big Shout to Katie Davison whom I had the pleasure of meeting on Dec. 6th. She edited my concert video I did with James Burton. Not only is she totally professional, but brings a wealth of knowledge, and creativity to the table.. Add to this she is an absolute joy to work with.. We had only two hrs. to view the highlights, share notes, ideas. and a few laughs..Usually I sit in on every edit, but time would not allow this before I left for Tahoe. I went with my gut instinct that I was in good hands with Katie. Being an artist myself I know how important it is to bring your vision to life...I let Katie work her magic!! I sent her notes,pictures, and we spoke once or twice. Boy. was I right! Katie did an Epic job of editing and added an extra dose of love for her craft to the project. When I watched it the night before I left for Tahoe, I was so moved that I was brought to tears..Katie you are a Pro's Pro! I can't wait for us to work on this next project with the new footage from Tahoe. Thank you Ryan and San Diego Audio Video for years of friendship and Amazing service. Thank you Katie for taking such good care of me and my vision. People in the industry have commented on what an Excellent job you did...I highly recommended Katie and her creative talent!! You Rock Disney Girl!! Love you all! Rick Diaz Tahoe City Productions

After we secured our wedding date and venue, Ryan Films was the very first vendor that we secured…read moreand it was the BEST decision we made in the wedding planning process! After seeing their awesome videos on Instagram, we knew we needed to have them film our wedding. Beyond having amazing reviews that highlighted Ryan's great communication and super professional team, we really liked how Ryan used innovative techniques like flying a drone over the ceremony site to capture a different perspective. When we reached out to Ryan, we got an immediate response and a list of his pricing. Ryan let us know that he worked a lot at our venue, Green Gables Wedding Estate, and knew the staff and how they operated really well. This was awesome news for us since it meant less to coordinate on our end! It was super easy to find the best video package for us and there were even video extras like a "best wishes video" from our guests which was a fun addition. Throughout the process, Ryan's communication was superb and helped keep us on track. A few weeks before the wedding, Ryan sent us a reminder email with items he needed from us for the big day so we didn't overlook anything. On the day of, Ryan and Zack (his second shooter) were super personable and friendly which made the video experience fun and not awkward like you might assume it would be. Even though it was the first time they worked with our photography team, they did a great job of looking for opportunities to get video while we were posed for photos so we didn't have to duplicate poses. We both felt like rockstars with the prompts they gave us and are so excited to see the final video. We would definitely recommend anyone looking for an awesome videographer to use Ryan. The main regret we hear from other married couples is that they did not get a videographer for their wedding day. DON'T BE THAT COUPLE! Look no further and go with Ryan and his team and I promise you will not be disappointed. They are so fun and easy to work with and I am so glad that we went with them. Thank you so much, Ryan and Zack, you guys are the best!!

I am very disappointed with the lack of communication and failure to deliver services by Ryan…read moreFilms. My wife and I were married in March 2025 and initially contracted Ryan Films for a teaser and highlight video. We received the teaser and were very pleased with it. Based on the quality of that work, we then paid for an additional cinematic video so we could more fully relive our wedding day. However, the highlight video and full cinematic video have still not been delivered--now over one year later. We were informed of a personal emergency via a third party and responded with patience and understanding. Over the following months, we made several attempts to follow up but received no response. After continued non-delivery, we requested the raw footage as an alternative. In February, a team member, Madi, confirmed the footage had been shipped and provided a tracking number; however, the label was created and the package was never sent. We have not received any updates since, despite repeated follow-ups. These videos are incredibly important to us and contain irreplaceable memories, including moments with loved ones who are no longer with us. We trusted Ryan Films to capture our wedding day and asked guests not to record, believing those memories would be preserved through their work. We entered into this agreement in good faith, and while the teaser we received was beautiful, the lack of delivery and communication since has been extremely disappointing. We hope this matter is resolved, but if not, we are prepared to pursue further action, including legal remedies.

If I could offer any advice for his future clients it would be this: Hire him immediately before his schedule books up (which WILL happen) AND get the highlight film included in your package. You will be so glad you did! Thank you, Stephen! :) Colby & Courtney Duran

He also edits amazing videos if you have a bigger videography budget than we do...and want the full superstar experience. After seeing samples of his work, my husband and I knew that we could trust Stephen to just "do his thing" so we gave him our schedule of events and asked him to video the components that made the most sense to him and the video looks gorgeous. Because his camera looks a little unconventional, many of our guests thought he was one of the photographers so we also have some hilarious clips. And, our photographer loved working with Stephen. Stephen knows how to get the footage he needs to make your day memorable with you and your photographer barely noticing him throughout the day. We were so grateful for both Stephen's calm confidence in the work he produces and the footage we received. My husband and I (and all of our guests who have seen the footage) absolutely love his work and highly recommend him!
