My partner and I researched a bunch of photographers and videographers for our wedding, and we…read moreultimately went with Big Day Memories because the price for the service level we wanted was very competitive and we valued that they could do both and flex their service to our needs. It's now after our wedding and we're happy to review the service very positively. In addition to our wedding coverage, we also booked engagement photos with Big Day Memories and they were easy to work with to extend extra service, fold the cost into our contract and account with them, and provide the photos soon after (which we then displayed some during our wedding a few months later). We had a destination/adventurous engagement photoshoot and the Big Day Memories photographer (Alex) was very accommodating with how to meet/find us, send up the drone to try and get some special shots, and followup with traditional posed engagement photos at a nearby sculpture garden. For the wedding we had Masha as our primary photographer, and then we also had an assistant photographer and a videographer. They worked well as a team and had their own communication radios to coordinate. We had limited time at our venue before the ceremony started and the BDM team worked hard to get lots of shorts in with our getting ready, first look, and bridal party. We had some clothing changes and we stepped out from our reception dinner to do sunset photos. The BDM team took down our day-of schedule and were always ready when we needed to hit our important photo sessions. Throughout the process, communication with BDM project manager was always responsive. We always had total confidence that they knew what we wanted, what was important to us, and were on board with our plans for our big day. This is something we really appreciated and it was really great to see the same level of competence extended to the professional photographers and videographer we worked with at our wedding. We received sneak peek processed photos within 5 days of the wedding, which was way faster than we expected. They are looking gorgeous and we are eagerly anticipating the edited video and remaining photos. We hope to never need to get married again, but if we have any other big days coming up that we want to capture with great photography coverage, Big Day Memories will get our business again.

One of the biggest pieces of advice I can give any couple is to invest in an amazing photo and…read morevideo team because after your wedding day is over, these are the memories you'll have forever. My husband and I booked Big Day Memories' Premium Package for our wedding at the Hotel del Coronado, and we couldn't have made a better choice. From the very beginning, the experience was incredible. We had 2 photographers, 2 videographers, drone coverage, a posing master class before the wedding, teaser reels, a highlight film, and a full wedding movie. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and the team made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. It was truly an honor to work with Masha and Ivan, along with Julia and the rest of the Big Day Memories team. Every single person showed so much dedication, professionalism, and genuine passion for what they do. You could tell they weren't just there to do a job... they were fully invested in making our wedding day perfect. Even our family and guests commented on how hard they worked and how committed they were to capturing every special moment! They somehow managed to be everywhere at once while never making us feel overwhelmed. They worked seamlessly with all of our vendors and kept us laughing, relaxed, and enjoying every second of the day. When we received our sneak peeks, we were absolutely blown away. Every photo is timeless, emotional, and beautifully tells the story of our wedding day. Looking through them instantly brought us right back to every feeling from that day. Looking back, I honestly miss them! It was so much fun spending our wedding day with this team, and that's something I never expected to say about vendors. They felt like friends by the end of the night, and I genuinely hope our paths cross again someday. Thank you, Pasha, Masha, Ivan, Julia, and the entire Big Day Memories team, for preserving the best day of our lives so beautifully. We will treasure these memories forever, and we cannot recommend you enough! - Julia Kate & Tim Walker

We truly cannot say enough great things about Dave and Samantha from Light Up Video. From start to finish, their professionalism, creativity, and genuine passion for their work blew us away. From our very first interaction, they were responsive, kind, and full of positive energy. They created a custom quote tailored to our unique event, which was not only more flexible than what others were offering, but also extremely reasonable. Their response time is quick and they're very transparent when it comes to pricing, timeline and what's achievable. Even though they're based in LA, they traveled to San Diego to capture our day and didn't balk at the initial reach out. That level of professionalism, attentiveness, and accommodation really set them apart from the many vendors we explored during the hiring process. Dave and Samantha brought a can-do attitude and sharp creative perspective that made the entire experience feel collaborative and exciting. They listened to our vision, offered thoughtful suggestions without ever pushing an agenda, and elevated the final product far beyond what we imagined. Samantha handled all the logistics and drone work with grace and precision, and Dave captured our elopement with an artist's eye. From planning through final delivery and everywhere in between, every detail was handled with care. Their punctuality and professionalism made everything feel seamless on a day of such high importance to us. We are BEYOND THRILLED with the final video. It's something we'll cherish for the rest of our lives, and we feel so lucky that it was Light Up Video who told our story.

Words can't fully express how incredible our experience was working with Tomas as our wedding…read morephotographer. My wife and I feel incredibly grateful that he was there to capture our big day last month. From the moment we started searching for a photographer, we knew this would be one of the most critical decisions for our wedding. After researching and interviewing several top photographers in our area, we noticed that The Big Affair was one of Bel-Air Bay Club's preferred vendors--and it quickly became clear why. When we reviewed a few full galleries of weddings Tomas shot at our venue, we immediately fell in love with his elegant, timeless style. He has an incredible ability to blend traditional, editorial, photojournalistic, and moody styles in a way that captures all the key moments and emotions of the day. However, beyond beautiful photographs, having a genuine connection with our photographer was essential to us--and this is where Tomas truly stood out. From our first conversation, he was genuinely interested in getting to know us and gave us a clear sense of what it would be like to work with him. As a photography enthusiast, I had many technical and gear-related questions, which Tomas was happy to discuss. While the best equipment alone doesn't guarantee great results, knowing that Tomas was equipped with top-tier gear gave us extra peace of mind--especially since we planned on ordering large canvas prints, where ultra-high-resolution images are key. We were initially concerned that Tomas might be out of our budget based on his quote, but he went above and beyond, creating a custom package that included everything we wanted while staying within our budget. Our engagement shoot with Tomas was our first real test in front of the camera, and we were a bit nervous since posing isn't something we're used to. Tomas gave us just the right amount of guidance, helping us feel comfortable and confident. By the end, what started as an nerve-wracking experience became a genuinely fun and memorable one--we were actually a little sad when the session ended! Tomas even kept shooting until the very last moment, well after the location's security asked us to wrap up. When we received the photos, we were absolutely blown away by the results, and so were our friends and family--some even wondered if we'd secretly eloped! On our wedding day, Tomas and his second photographer, Brian, were amazing to work with. They made us feel like VIPs while capturing every important moment. Tomas's attention to detail was remarkable, whether it was waiting for the right light during family group shots or stepping in to guide other vendors. His assertive yet calm leadership made it feel like we had an extra coordinator helping us along the way. In summary, my wife and I wholeheartedly recommend Tomas for any couple looking for an exceptional photographer, especially for engagements and weddings. Tomas didn't just take pictures--he told the story of our wedding in the most beautiful way possible. Our wedding day flew by, but thanks to Tomas, we have hundreds of stunning images that allow us to relive it whenever we want.

He captured every single one of our precious moments in such a beautiful and authentic storytelling way. We will treasure them forever. It still makes me cry happy tears looking back on some of pure raw emotion in many of the photos. Additionally, every single one of our family and friends that have seen the photos have commented about how their pristine color and luxurious quality is the best they have ever seen. Tomas has a true passion for weddings and capturing love stories that is simply unmatched by any other photographer. It was comforting having him and his team by our side throughout our wedding day . He provided a calming presence, gentle direction, and experienced leadership skills while we moved throughout our busy day and various locations (bridal getting ready suite at the Dream Hollywood hotel, church reception, Robinson gardens for romantic photos, and our venue at the Taglyan complex). We trusted him completely to get all of our important shots while we were literally floating on clouds with happiness and love. My husband and I did not have a worry in the world. We cannot thank Tomas enough for making us the happiest couple and going above and beyond for us. We will be lifelong friends with Tomas and his family and hope to work with Tomas again very soon in the future. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Tomas.
