Hopefully none of our other vendors read this review because I'm going to come out and say it -- Santa Barbara Wedding Films was definitely our FAVORITE VENDOR of all our vendors (sorry not sorry). Our wedding morning was stressful to say the least and not a lot was going right or on schedule, but the team for Santa Barbara wedding films really helped us turn it around. They arrived on time, were professional, but also casual enough to make us feel more at ease and comfortable. They all just have overall fantastic attitudes. They even dealt with us being super awkward during some of the funny getting ready filming portions. They worked very very well with all other vendors we hired too, which made things flow more easily and smooth. They were never pushy and stayed less visible for the ceremony and reception. They even made sure to say goodbye before leaving the reception which we appreciated. So excited to see the final product. I wrote this review before getting the videos, because I already know nothing will change my mind about how awesome the team was on our day of lurvvv. I will recommend them to everyone getting married! read more

Exceeded our expectations. The level of professionalism along with their great attitudes allowed us to feel comfortable while filming our hectic but special day. The crew of three never once got in the way or questions things we wanted. They quickly captured footage and would give us the space and privacy we wanted. We highly!! recommend this videographer. Their equipment was not bulky and in the way. I would like to acknowledge the young man I had the pleasure of working with on the groom filming portion "Christian". During a hectic time of getting ready and nerves kicking in he managed to help keep me calm and sane while also capturing vital moments of the groom and groomsmen getting ready. His young attitude help capture something unique and special. (side note his outfit was on point!) The drone is a must! make sure to add to your package. We can't wait to see our video. Thank you George and crew! read more

These guys are the best! They came recommended from a friend and I'm so glad we chose them. They're extremely professional and had a way of making us feel like we were just hanging out with friends-which was a huge plus for us because we felt more at ease. They were open to any suggestions we had or didn't have and worked around our schedule with our coordinator. Our pictures and video are amazing-the drone adds for some pretty cool shots! We were able to make payments which made it easier financially for us. Huge plus. Overall, we had a great experience with Santa Barbara Wedding Films and would use them again. read more

If you are looking for a videographer, look no further!!! SB Wedding Films are by far the best in the area! We are so incredibly happy with our highlight video. Their team highly exceeded our expectations and we were very impressed with their quality of work and professionalism!! read more

Santa barbara wedding films was the best of the best! I really wanted a nice same day edit video as a lot of my family from india couldnt come to the wedding- especially my grandparents. I met with George in person before the contract to ask him more about his style and he was very patient with me and answered all my questions. my brides babe crew and I felt so comfortable in front of the camera with George and the crew and we were over the moon with our same day edit. The team was prompt, got some really awesome group shots of me with my bridesmaids as well as me with my extended family members. They had an awesome attitude on the day of the wedding and had a prompt response to emails when I had questions the few weeks and months leading up to it. Not only were they amazing at the wedding, but I had a second wedding reception put on by my in-laws and I requested a little bit longer of a video from this wonderful team and they were able to add parts of the ceremony and reception and make me a video in time for the reception. Their videography is phenomenal, the attitude exceptional and who doesn't love supporting an amazing family business. Plus the Drone shots are UNREAL. You must book them if you are getting married in santa Barbara you will not regret it! read more

George and his team were professional, friendly, and created an amazing set of videos that we're obsessed with. They were always incredibly responsive to our questions or emails, willing to hop on the phone as needed, and the end product really was breathtaking. The drone shots add an extra layer of wow, and our friends and family can't stop talking about how much they love the highlight video. The sound quality was excellent and the number of different shots they got was really great - it really made our wedding come alive in a way that we'll be able to relive it for years and years to come. We were a bit nervous hiring them because we booked them from out of town after only having spoken to George on the phone and watching their clips online. They are a newer company, and our planner wasn't familiar with their work, but their craftsmanship speaks for itself. They showed up a little early (!) on the morning of the wedding and were so easy-going and respectful of us, our other vendors, and our guests. Multiple guests told us that our videographer team was the nicest group of guys. Their rates are also incredibly affordable. Other vendors were asking far and above what SBWV was and for far less to show for it. Our videos came on a beautiful wooden flash drive in its own little box about 3mo after the wedding, and they kept us informed as to progress along the way. We really can't recommend them enough. Hiring a videographer was the best decision we made, and I'm so glad it was George and his team. read more

All I can say is these guys are AMAZING!!! George, Ricardo and Bert all made us feel so comfortable on the wedding day. They made sure to video the most precious moments and wanted to make sure I got all the moments I wanted. After I first saw their videos on their website right away I was like "wow these videos are so beautiful". After we booked them George was always so great about replying to my emails or texts right away. We just got the highlight video today and it was so beautiful. They exceeded all my expectations and made this special day all the more magical through this video. I loved the angles they recorded from, the vibrance of the colors, overall everything was perfect! All my friends and family are telling me how they have never seen such a beautiful wedding video. If you're looking to have your wedding, birthday, any celebration recorded without breaking the bank Santa Barbara Wedding Films is who you need to hire. The prices are very competitive and the quality is far beyond what they charge. Thank you guys for making our wedding so special, you took my breath away with our wedding video. Thank You Jennifer & Michael Here is our video https://vimeo.com/220645637 read more

We picked Santa Barbara Wedding Films because they offered a well-done, comprehensive wedding film for a good price. And that's exactly was we got. George was very easy to work with and very professional. On the day of he did come earlier and stayed later than we paid for, which we very much appreciated. George seems to have his end product wedding film down to a system. And he offers some good perks including a drone and a second shooter. Thank you Santa Barbara Wedding Films, we are very thankful for all their efforts!!! read more

My husband and I are incredibly happy with the finished product of our wedding video! These guys are professional, friendly, flexible, accommodating, and really have an eye to put the meaning of your event into film. I was able to make payments leading up to the wedding so that it would be paid in full by then, which was extremely helpful! I was a little worried at first because I had not personally met up with George prior to the wedding, though we were constantly in contact and he always got back to me quickly. The day of the wedding he and his crew were there early scoping out the property to see where he could shoot and all of that. That immediately put all of my worries to the side! Everyone has had nothing but wonderful things to say about our video and it still makes me cry EVERY SINGLE TIME! Thank you, George! You guys are amazing! We are SO glad we found you! read more

We definitely recommend you hiring a videographer for your wedding day, our memories were forever captured by Santa Barbara Wedding Films. When we met George and Arcelia we knew that we made the right decision to have them video our wedding day. They were very professional, polite, kind, and knew exactly what to do to make us happy. We felt at ease with them which was important for us. They did an amazing job and we would highly recommend George and Arcelia for your special occasion!! Five stars for sure!! The final highlight reel was emailed as well as mailed to us with two beautiful DVDs that included our ceremony and the raw footage of our reception. read more

Santa Barbara Wedding Films EXCEEDED our expectations! They did an absolute phenomenal job! We also had a photographer whom these guys worked really well with. They were fun and energetic! They made sure they got 'the shot' however didn't spend too much time on one thing. They captured EVERY important moment plus more! They delivered an amazing final product as well as exceeded a few personal requests I had. Every time my husband and I watch, we bawl! I'm not talking about a simple tear but we relive the moment! They were very professional and very friendly! Please take my advice, if you are in the fence debating if you should hire them, DO! We will never regret it. The day moves soooo incredibly quick and you miss the moments. You think "we will remember" "we don't need it, because we will have pictures". We had an amazing photographer as well but the video captures moment a picture can't (speeches, music, relatives who don't like pictures). If you want to relive these special moments, choose these guys! Also, the drone is (excuse my language) badass! read more

Santa Barbara Wedding Films - Video/Film Production Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

I am way too late writing this review. Our wedding was October 3rd, and Santa Barbara wedding films had promised our wedding film 60 days after the event. I asked if they could deliver before thanksgiving and they agreed. Santa Barbara wedding films delivered sooner than expected and the quality as out of this world!!! They delivered sooner than expected and the video was incredible. I didn't even want a videographer originally, but Santa Barbara wedding films fit within my budget and far exceeded my expectations!! I would be more than happy to recommend them to anyone in the Santa Barbara area. I am a 9th generation Santa Barabaran and I would recommend this company to anyone! Check out our video on YouTube. read more

We had a great experience with Santa Barbara Wedding Films. They were totally professional and our video made us feel like we were watching a movie! Totally understanding and helpful on our wedding day. They also used a drone for some unbelievable footage. Dont worry though-- it was not used during the ceremony (no noise disturbance), just for some shots beforehand. Strongly recommend them! Pricing was totally reasonable as well. read more

It was a pleasure having Santa Barbara Wedding Films shoot our wedding. From the beginning process, to the day of the wedding, and then getting all of the footage after the wedding- they were so easy to work with! Very professional, effortless, and friendly! Without getting in the way, they captured our special day perfectly and we couldn't be more thrilled with the footage. We especially love the highlight video they edited. An easy recommendation to give! read more

I just got our wedding highlights 7 minute video back this week and I am in love with it! They could not have done a better job. They were on time, professional, and had wonderful ideas to make an amazing wedding film. I would highly recommend them to anyone! read more

Santa Barbara Wedding Films went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met. They sent a whole team to help us out at the wedding. They were prompt, courteous, and made us feel comfortable with clear directions throughout the day. They also collaborated with us to work out some custom options to stay within budget. Not only that, but they produced some great footage that we hope to enjoy year after year. We highly recommend them. read more

If you want a videographer that will exceed your expectations...hire Santa Barbara Wedding Films!!! George is straightforward, honest, friendly, and professional. He and his second shooter showed up on-time and ready to go from the start of our day. He is extremely creative and took initiative to look for ways to make our day more memorable than we ever could have imagined. He captured so many details I didn't even know were at my wedding and the drone footage of our beach wedding was truly spectacular. He is an extremely hard worker with an eye to make anything look like a fairy tale. Not to mention the way he presents his final product was far beyond our expectations, truly beautiful!!! Photos are great to have for your wedding, but there is nothing like reliving special moments on video. I highly recommend spending the extra cash and having this lifelong keepsake. We are forever grateful to George and his staff!!! read more
