14/10 MUST HIRE If you are on the fence about hiring a…read morevideography team, get off the fence and hire Etch Films. Etch Films exceeded our expectations and captured our wedding day PERFECTLY!!! The wedding video was one of the most important aspects of our wedding (in my eyes) so I knew we had to choose someone epic to capture it and edit it to perfection. My husband and I didn't want a "cliche" or "cheesy" wedding video that looked like everyone else's....you know the type. We wanted something fun, exciting, unique...and Etch films was 100% the way to go. From our first meeting with Jordan and Julie, we knew we had made the right decision. Your videography team is so important, and you want to choose people that you get along with! Jordan and Julie are the sweetest and coolest people/ vendors that we have ever met, like literally. They make you feel 100% comfortable and they bring out the best in their clients on wedding/event day! We were so impressed with the creativity of Etch films and we appreciated that they captured all the amazing moments of our wedding day and somehow managed to also be "behind the scenes" most of the time! They are so talented when it comes to editing the footage and putting it to awesome music. We left it up to them to choose the music and they knocked it out of the park! They are wonderful at finding out your favorite parts of wedding videos and the vibe you are going for, and making sure that your video reflects that. Etch films truly cares about you and they go above and beyond to make sure that they deliver the perfect video. We were so impressed that even the music was perfectly synced up with what we were doing at that moment in the video! One of the best decisions we ever made for our wedding was investing in Etch Films. They are a vendor team like no other, they are amazingly talented humans, they are wonderful people. Do yourself a favor; invest in a team that will capture the joyful, silly, fun, candid, and amazing moments of your day. This will be what you watch after your wedding, you will show this to family and friends for years to come. Make sure it is a legendary video. The ONLY way to ensure that you get the best video ever, is to go with Etch Films. They are worth everything, they are amazing. We love them! :)

The absolute best there is! Jordan and Julie were right beside us for every detail of our day and…read morewe will be forever grateful for these memories on film. Day of, they were always around with a smile on their faces, capturing the moments I was afraid everyone else missed but were also somehow completely invisible, never ever in the way. Even my Mother commented multiple times during the day about how pleasant and kind they were while also being on top of every single moment of the day. I work in the wedding industry and kindness is rarely a thing you see but it is even more rare when partnered with talent on this level. Also, I am very awkward in front of the camera and I require a little direction, our photographer took a very hands off approach so having the very thoughtfully composed shots and lighting that were very carefully directed by Jordan and Julie are invaluable to having the beautiful moments of the day preserved for years to come. As a visual person, I was most impressed with their story telling, they really understood and conveyed the theme and story I had in my mind of the day without every having to be told or spelled out for them. Their art direction, cinematography and ability to tell a story are as good as it gets! After watching our film an unreasonable number of times, I still pick up on nuances where they timed the flip of a dress of the movement in a shot to match up with the music. There are easter eggs hidden throughout the film for us to find and I have so much fun explaining them to friends when watching. Etch Films is next level and I feel both lucky and impossibly grateful that I get to relive our wedding day anytime I want. In fact, I'm going to watch it again right now because it is my favorite thing to watch. I almost feel sorry for my friends who hired other videographers because there is no comparison in the videos they have when put next to our stunning film. And if you don't believe me, please go watch the film, it really does speak for itself.

Anne and David are an amazing husband and wife team! They really take the time to put in the extra…read moredetails that when you look at the photos and watch your wedding highlights reel, you see all those little details you forgot about! We had a very small, intimate backyard wedding. Our wedding photos came out so beautiful and the video highlight reel transported us back to that day, bringing all the feels along with it. I really loved Anne's communication, especially with our phone call a month before the wedding to work out the kinks. Absolutely ADORED her direction day-of. No wasted time and she made us look great in every photo! David was so slick with the camera work as well, half the time we didn't even know he was there! Kim did an amazing job editing our highlight video and really captured all the details in 3 minutes. He synced it well with the music we chose too (Birds of a Feather by Billie Eilish). I highly recommend Something New and Blue team to capture your day!!!

I chose Anne and Dave as the videographers for my March 2023 wedding for two main reasons: (1) they…read moreoffered a video package that I wanted, that few others did, and at a reasonable price. It was really important to me to have a copy of the raw footage from my wedding, because I knew I was going to be too busy to remember the ceremony and the toasts, and all those other important moments. Anne and Dave offered a package that included this footage, and at a reasonable price. The other videographer I had found who offered this was charging an exorbitant amount. (2) I spoke with Anne before hiring her, and I really liked her. She responded to my email inquiry very quickly. When we talked about their packages, she gave me her honest opinion--that, for what I was looking for, one of their cheaper packages would be sufficient. She could have tried to upsell me, but the fact that she didn't showed me that she has integrity. I also just really liked her energy when I spoke with her. She seemed really earnest, cheerful, and supportive. I'm so pleased with the work that Anne and Dave did. They arrived early to the venue and worked nonstop until after the first dance. Our photographer seemed to enjoy working with them, to the extent that I thought they were already friends (but they'd all just met that day). Anne and Dave both had good suggestions for certain shots they wanted, and even recommended some shots to the photographer. Lastly, there was a point before the ceremony where I was extremely stressed and frustrated, and Anne came over under the guise of fixing my necklace, but I think she was also trying to help me take deep breaths. She wasn't being condescending or anything, it was just a natural extension of her calm energy. That moment helped ground me, and helped me feel like I had someone supporting me. I could cry just thinking about it, because she knew what I needed in the moment. We received our highlight video less than 2 months after the wedding, and it's so cute! I'm excited to go through the raw footage next. This experience has been 100% positive.

We first saw Emotion Picture Studios on a preferred vendor list and after reviewing some sample…read morework they sent us and reading reviews on other wedding sites, we decided to go with them. Marc and company were very communicative and answered our many questions in the lead-up to the wedding. They have you fill out a questionnaire which gets you to think about which style of video you'd like, documentary or cinematic, and which songs you'd like included. We opted for cinematic. A few days prior to the wedding, we were notified that Jessica would be our videographer. She showed up right on time the day of the wedding after verifying which rooms we'd be getting ready in. Jessica was lovely to work with and it helped she also got along great with our photographers (I think she'd worked with some of them before). Right on schedule, about two months later, she reached out to us to let us know that both our trailer and our full wedding video were ready. The videos did not disappoint; they were equal parts beautiful and touching and included several of our favorite wedding songs including our first dance song. It was the right call for us to opt for cinematic; it was very moving to watch our wedding day unfold as if it was a shorter feature length film. We asked for our full video to include the entirety of both of our vows and it was wonderful to have those both captured. We're so happy to have the videos to help us remember the best parts of our wedding. Thank you for your wonderful work!

He has an amazing keen eye for details to capture; he was fun, passionate, extremely thoughtful and thorough throughout the entire process leading up to the event. If you are looking for an organized, fun, talented, passionate videography team that is expert at capturing stunning moments, then look no further. I highly highly recommend The Emotion Picture Studio and cannot wait to work with them again in the future! Is there an option to give 6/5 stars ??!!

We had a fun and amazing day having KLV Photography capture all the moments at our wedding! Meg was…read moresuper helpful planning the schedule, providing recommendations, and answering any questions we had. Kevin was our primary photographer, and Danilo was our secondary, and both really made the photo sessions a fun experience for everyone. A lot of laughters and memories were shared among the bridesmaids and groomsmen. Kevin and Danilo made it very easy for us by scoping out locations at the venue and providing great guidance on poses. We're also very happy we decided to do golden hour photos. We were looking for soft and neutral tone photos for our wedding, and KLV's editing style was what drew us in to them. The photos came out beautiful. Thank you to the entire KLV team, and we can't recommend them enough for your special day!

KLV photography was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. I had found KLV through a…read morefriend who also had their wedding photos captured by them and she absolutely loved it. From the very beginning, Meg was our point of contact. She was very professional and incredibly quick to respond to any questions we had. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Every question we had was answered quickly and clearly, which made planning so much less stressful. Our lead photographer was Kevin. We met at our engagement shoot where he made us feel completely comfortable (we can be quite awkward!). The engagement photos came out beautiful and people loved our save-the-date photos! The wedding day was super hectic but Kevin was super PRO with handling the chaos. Dan was also great as our second photographer -he is always smiley! They were calm, reassuring, and knew exactly what they were doing. The photos are absolutely stunning, beautiful, light and airy. The lighting, composition, and attention to detail truly exceeded our expectations. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the entire day all over again, from the big moments to the small candid ones we didn't even realize were happening. We cannot recommend them enough!

From the moment I first connected with Eric, he was responsive, helpful, and always available to answer any questions I had during the planning process. The final photos were stunning and beautifully captured the beauty of the day. If I had one wish, it would be that we had a few more portraits of just the two of us looking directly into the camera. Still, we're very happy with the results and grateful for the memories they preserved so well. I Highly recommend working with Eric and his team!

It's taken me 4 years to write this review! Awful wedding photos! Nothing like what was advertised…read more Here is my email to the photographer that went unresponded to. I still have not to this day never printed a single photo! We ended up re-shooting a year later with someone else. I sat down to finally print my wedding book tonight, and absolutely awful. Never received any edited photos. Hi Eric- So I'm a bit unhappy with the final pictures. I feel there was NO attention to detail taken. The pictures in the bridal suite have a big stinking AC in the background. I'm literally in a couture gown in front of an AC unit. I don't care to print most of the photos taken there. It would have been had the ac unit been photo shopped out, or they tried another location to shoot the dress. Im apalled that the grooms photos were taken on the balcony with the ac unit in the background, and in the hallway of the hotel, the railing in the hallway is so cringy (it screams motel 6)!! And not to mention the miscellaneous peoples in the background. There was so many better places on the property that these photos could have been taken. Finally, I wish your photographers would have reviewed their cameras a little closer, my daughter one of the flower girl did not make one pretty smile. All sorts of weird faces and expressions from her (not your guys fault) but it would have been nice had she or I been cued to smile pretty etc. I don't even have one nice photo. I mean you guys are the professionals. One of my bridesmaids there is only two pictures with and she looks freakish in both. Again how about looking at the camera, and Making sure you got a good shot. Lastly, most of the photos that I do like from the beach have people in the background. Can this be photoshopped? I literally at this point don't even have one photo that I would like to print and hang. Really don't feel like I got any images like the ones on your website. I'm really bummed as there are no do-overs, at least with my whole wedding party. I will be redoing photos with my husband and daughters at some point. Hopefully, we will then finally have the photos I had hoped for. I hope you take this criticism constructively back to your team. The photography and style seamed professional but it was the lack of attention to detail that really led to poor photos in our opinion. I would hate for any other bride to feel so disappointed like myself.

My husband and I were surprised with how good the photos turned out. Owen guided us on poses, so do not worry if you don't have any experience in front of a camera like us. I appreciate his attention to detail (notifying us of stray hairs, etc.) and he was respectful for my family who wanted a group photo. Not to mention, he's really humorous with his pop culture references; that definitely broke the ice and allowed us to be more at ease. I also want to highlight that he works incredibly fast and presented the finished products just a few days after our shoot! Thank you, Owen, for capturing these special moments for me and my husband.

I cannot express enough gratitude and appreciation for Marlor and his team at Scen Emotion Films…read more As a wedding planner based in San Diego, CA, I have worked with and trusted many videographers over the years--so when I became the bride, I knew how important it was to find someone truly exceptional to capture our wedding day. Our wedding was a destination wedding outside of San Diego, which meant I couldn't use some of the vendors I had worked with for many years. After doing my research, I came across Scene Motion Films on "The Knot" ; near our wedding destination in Riverside. From our very first meeting, my fiancé (now husband) and I immediately connected with Marlor. His experience, stunning work, and warm personality made it clear he was the perfect choice for our special day. On our wedding day, Marlor was incredibly professional, attentive, and accommodating. I honestly wish I had hired him through the end of our reception so he could have captured our final dances with all our guests--that's how much we loved having him there. When we received our initial draft, Marlor was beyond patient and flexible with my (very detailed!) requests--being a wedding planner, I had a specific vision in mind. He handled every request with patience, kindness and care. In the end, both our highlight films and our special elements video, which beautifully captured moments from our entire day, exceeded anything we could have ever imagined. Marlor, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for creating such meaningful and breathtaking videos that we will cherish forever. I will confidently recommend you to all of my future clients, friends, and couples. You are truly amazing, and we appreciate you beyond words. With gratitude, Dalice & Chris Cesa
