She…read morewas the first vendor we booked for our April 2020 wedding (that obviously was canceled due to Covid) and was super patient and helpful during the almost 2 years we ended up planning our wedding because of multiple cancellations. She gave us tons of recommendations for other vendors, many of whom became instrumental parts of our day, like Kelsey Crews Photo and Tanya of RSVP Weddings & Events. She became a friend throughout the long process of our wedding planning and she even met up with us when we drove down to Santa Barbara to check out some venues and meet some vendors. She showed us this hidden gem of a ceremony venue that I fell head over heels in love with (although unfortunately we didn't get to be married there because I let my husband have his first choice of ceremony venue, as it was one of the only things he actually cared about). My husband and I are both pretty introverted and awkward people, and hate being the center of attention and people looking at us, so we were NOT looking forward to being filmed or photographed. However, Jennie (and our photographer Kelsey Crews) were so warm and sweet and fun that they actually made the photoshoot one of the most enjoyable parts of the day! The 4 of us went off after the ceremony before the reception to film some footage and take photos, and we had an absolute blast! Jennie was even kind enough to send a 1-min sneak peek video the day after our wedding that I got to watch on repeat basically the entire 4.5 hour car ride back to the Bay Area! Choosing Riviera Productions to shoot our day was the single best decision I made throughout this entire process, because without Jennie (and some of the other vendors she introduced us to), we never would have had even close to as perfect a day as we did. The entire day was magic, and we have Jennie to thank for that. Jennie is kind and generous and flexible and we feel very fortunate to have her not just as our videographer, but as a lifelong friend. I really look forward to meeting her for a hike next time we're in Santa Barbara!

She is kind, professional, knows what she wants, is open to feedback, and is super knowledgeable. Highly recommend!!

He did a masterful job capturing the essence of our 3 day wedding in Santa Barbara! He listened to all of our requests and I couldn't have been happier. I wanted very specific still shots along with plenty of candids of our guests and he delivered. The greatest compliment of a really good photographer is when you go back and watch the video and look through pictures you feel like you're reliving the weekend! He did just that. I wouldn't choose anyone else to be with us on our wedding weekend. His team was awesome!

Her videos look like movies and I was blown away when I saw our Highlight Video! It is outrageously good. The day of the wedding, I could hardly tell she and her team were there which was perfect! I'm 'in the business' and didn't want to see cameras everywhere. What is really mind blowing is Jennifer is usually very camera shy. Susan had a way of making it fun and easy for her and now we say we look like stars in our own movie. Couldn't be happier.

We received an outpouring of positive feedback in the days after we shared our highlight reel ... "waterworks!" or "LOVE IT - made me feel like we were all there again!". I was shocked, it was 17 minutes and I didn't think anyone would take the time to watch except me. Even my husband's seen it 6 times! I call Susan the "video ninja" because she wears all black, is rather small and can work alone. You really don't know she's there. Most videographers come with a crew, as their goal is to make a perfect movie. My goal was to have a perfect wedding, and then a video, maybe. If this is where you're at - don't regret not having it filmed. Every time I watch the film it makes me so happy. Our photographer was phenomenal, but can't compare to the emotion that a moving picture provides. Our destination wedding in Hawaii was full of love, support and pure joy beyond my wildest imagination. The best week of our lives :)

I love that they included both of our vows, some of the speeches, our first dance, and included shots of every single guest. I appreciate how festive all of their communication has been.

My now-husband and I hired them to film our wedding video. Months before the big day, they drove to LA to get to know us and shoot an engagement video. It ended up being extra special because we were able to put the video on display at our venue for wedding night itself. In the month ahead of the wedding itself, they also had us fill out a form and did a follow-up call so they knew what to expect / what vibe we were hoping to go for. They were extremely professional but also very fun fun, and made us feel at ease as they shot the wedding. Fast forward to after the wedding, they quickly sent the most stunning teaser video that hd us crying that the wedding was over and reliving the fun all over again. We can't wait to see our feature film and the 8 MM film, and are telling everyone we know getting married in CA area to book these two ASAP.

When it came down to the editing, Tim was really great about making changes according to our feedback so that our video would be really personal. We love our video and watching it brings us back to that very special day. I highly recommend Ridge Production to anyone looking for a unique and personal wedding video.

We had an awful experience with Ridge Productions! Once we received our wedding video back we were…read morein shock that this is the work of a professional company. Important moments during our ceremony were omitted from the video. I had made a special audio for my husband, a prayer for us, for our walk and this was left out of the video!! We did a mash up dance that was also omitted from the video! Our cousins did a fabulous dance for us that was also left out! WHY? These are important moments of the wedding! It should be noted that I had communicated with Ridge Productions before our wedding that these special moments must be included in the video. During another important moment, the marriage contract, the entire video footage was shaky, I felt like my 7 year old nephew could have taken better footage. So careless at such a sensitive time! To make matters worse the audio during our marriage ceremony and contract was way off and didn't match the video. What is going on? During our speeches, the coloring of the video was off and again, shaky footage. I just can't understand how you could do this for someone's wedding? We paid for the Platinum package, which was the highest package available. Doing this with an expectation that we would be pleased with the results. To our dismay, we were beyond disappointed! Through my interactions with Ridge via email, and phone, I really tried to work this out and edit the video. After the 1st edit I was shocked that what I received still had the same issues!! I was so sad and it was so hard to even look at the video again to make notes for our 2nd round. I finally sat down and worked on all my notes. The owner Tim completely blew me off and said there is nothing else he can do for us!!! WHAT?? Our contract states we are entitled to 2 edits. We didn't even get 1 edit because our video was never in a normal state. There was so much work and issues with the original video. Now we have to pay to get our video edited by another videographer. I STRONGLY ADVISE YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS VENDOR. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY! BIG FAIL!

We cannot recommend FilmLife enough! From the moment we started looking for a videographer, we knew…read morewe wanted someone who could create a timeless film that captured every aspect of our wedding day. We didn't just want a video, we wanted a true reflection of our love and the joy we felt. Trenton & Bethany delivered that and more--they captured every meaningful moment beautifully and seamlessly. Like many couples, we had concerns going into the process. Our biggest fear was finding someone who was just in it for the money and wouldn't give us the attention our special day deserved. Trenton completely put those worries to rest. He and his wife took the time to get to know us--not just as clients, but as people--so that they could understand our story and what we wanted out of our wedding film. It was clear that they genuinely cared about creating something amazing for us, and that dedication was evident in the final product. The process was so much more than just shooting our wedding. The Storybuilding Session was one of the highlights for us and allowed them to get a sense of our past and our vision for the future, making sure everything was planned to capture the essence of our love. We would have probably waited until the last minute to write our vows, and they wouldn't have been nearly as meaningful as they were without the guidance we received. On the wedding day itself, Trenton and his team was absolutely incredible. They worked seamlessly with our timeline and made sure they captured all of our dreams for the day. They were flexible, adaptable, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. We didn't have to worry about a thing--we could just focus on enjoying our day while knowing we were in good hands. When we finally received our wedding film, we were blown away. It beautifully showcases the effortless joy of our day, capturing moments of love, laughter, and emotion in such a genuine and natural way. We couldn't be more grateful for the care and effort they put into every detail. And to top it all off, FilmLife went above and beyond by providing us with extra photos, a longer video, and even a same-day edit--none of which we had asked for or paid for. Their generosity truly showed how committed they are to making every couple's experience special. If you're considering FilmLife for your wedding, don't hesitate. We know that budget can be a concern for many couples, but we can honestly say that every penny spent was worth it. The memories they've helped us create are priceless, and we will cherish this film forever. It's something that our loved ones, children, and even grandchildren will be able to watch and treasure for years to come. We wholeheartedly recommend FilmLife to any couple looking for a wedding videographer who will go above and beyond to capture the magic of their day. Their attention to detail, personal approach, and outstanding work made our wedding day even more unforgettable. You won't regret choosing them!
