If you want a professional, friendly, affordable company to provide a photo booth at your next event ... look no more! We hired Derek to provide a photo booth for our organization's annual appreciation dinner. We have never had anything like this before but wanted something fun for our members to do during cocktail hour and we were not disappointed. Derek was very responsive to our emails and worked with us to create a custom design for the photo template. He was on time to set up and ready to go when our guests arrived. His props were clean and updated... nothing dirty or torn like I have seen before with another vendor. They made sure the table was always tidy and organized after each group took photos. I was so impressed with him during our email and phone calls I decided to hire him for my 50th Birthday Party the following week. Like at the work event, he was on time and very responsive to any requests. I even ordered the custom wood photo album and it is beautiful. Derek's wife, Jade was at the table making sure my guests put a picture in my book and wrote me a little note. They are a lovely team and worked hard at both events to provide an excellent product for our guests. Derek also does regular photography and video. I can only imagine how fabulous he is at that. I wish I had hired him to take photos at my party ‍ His prices were very competitive and I honestly feel he gives you the most for your money. I did call a couple other companies and they were both more expensive and not as responsive. So if you want a fun couple that will engage with your guests and make sure your event has a fun vibe, Derek is the guy for the job!! read more

There are not enough words to describe how much we love Derek's work! We hired him for wedding photography and videography, and rehearsal dinner photography. We are so happy with that decision. He was such a professional, and his skill for organizing large groups of people for photos is unmatched. How he got everyone to look good at the same time is pure magic. All of our family and guests raved about him -- he was everywhere, capturing everything we would want to remember. With his teammate Scott (the videographer), we had full coverage of our wedding day. They got there early for getting ready shots and created a quick bond with our wedding party. I feel like he really captured us well as a couple. He also did our engagement photos, which were amazing (of course!). We did two great locations with him and it was a great chance to get to know him before the big day. As a side note: his wife Jade Preciado was our wedding planner for the day, and those two make an amazing pair. It made it even more of an easy decision to have him photograph our rehearsal dinner, and he felt like more than just our photographer because of their bond. If the two of them are both free on your wedding day, scoop them up!! read more

OMG if you are looking for a Wedding Videographer, look no further than DPfilms Productions out of Nipomo!!!! I don't even where to start honestly. Derek was absolutely amazing. We originally chose him for our wedding for the quality and proximity to our original venue, but he and his wife proved not only to be professional, but flexible and so caring and understanding! We went through literal hell in 2020. We had to change venues not once, not twice, but three times. Each time we moved further away from them, and each time, he assured me we would make it work! In the middle of all of that, I lost my dad and grand-dad. I didn't know if I even wanted to hold the wedding after losing venue no. 2 and once again, Derek assured me they would be there - whatever we needed to do and was so empathetic. I am so grateful to have been blessed by the universe by such an amazing team. They are kind, professional, prompt, and INCREDIBLY talented! You wouldn't have even known they were at the wedding TBH, but the footage they captured is absolutely PHENOMENAL. My favorite inclusions in the film: My husband and I both ride motorcycles and Derek even drove an hour to include footage of us riding together and a separate interview portion to include in the main video. This was such a lovely touch and will serve to be such a wonderful memory. They also made sure there was footage of my nephew carrying my father's urn down the aisle. As painful as this loss is, I'm so grateful we will at least have a memory of him being there even if it's just in spirit. And don't even get me started on the footage of the kids dancing!! We are seriously so insanely happy with everything. If we could afford to pay them 1 million dollars, we absolutely would. We missed so much during our wedding day and we are so happy we get to see everything we missed in this video!! I'm sure you can find a videographer anywhere, but I honestly think you can't do better than Derek and his wife. They check all the boxes and more. HIRE THEM ALREADY!!!! If you got this far in my review, it's not too late! You can still make the BEST decision of YOUR LIFE. My husband and I will cherish these memories for the rest of our lives. YOU WILL 100% NOT REGRET HIRING THEM. read more

Derek is without a doubt the right way to go for your wedding. The photographer and videographer in my opinion is the most important aspect of a wedding. From exceptional customer service to Derek literally getting in the freezing ocean with us, we have had nothing but the most amazing services. Derek took our visions in our minds and made them come to life. Him and his partner are without a doubt the best choice the video highlight real is worth the splurge you will not regret it!!! read more

My husband and I are so grateful for Derek and Jade!! We weren't sure if we were going to be able to afford a videographer, but DP Film Productions made our dream come true! We contacted them last minute and they were happy to commit to filming our wedding day without meeting us. My husband and I were so impressed with them! Derek and Jade are professional, hardworking and creatively gifted. They were kind and so pleasant to be around. They were down to earth and they fit right in with all of us. It was great to have them there, especially with all of the wedding day jitters! Aside from their talents and pleasant demeanors, they made us the most beautiful wedding video. I know how hard they both worked to create the wedding masterpiece they did, my husband and I will always treasure our wedding video and all of the clips from the day! Lastly, I would just like to give Derek some major props. As a bride, I had so many questions and requests, both before and after the wedding. Derek was so patient with me and he always responded to my emails quickly. It gave me peace of mind knowing that he was reliable! By the way, sorry for blowing up your email and thank you so much for your time and effort! Derek and Jade are not only wonderful people, but great at their profession. They are also very passionate about their work, and that makes all the difference. If you are thinking about hiring them, you should do it :) Thank you so much you two! We will be forever grateful! read more

We got lucky and so grateful that we booked Derek and Jade to do our wedding video! Originally, a videographer was not in our budget, but after some careful consideration we added it in and it was well worth it. We are so thankful that Derek captured all of those little moments because it went by so fast. Every speech and part of the ceremony can now be remembered forever. I feel like Derek took our vision and gave us exactly what we wanted. It is truly something we will cherish and watch to relive the best day ever. Thanks DP Films Productions! read more

SLO Booth - Drone - Video/Film Production Near Me

I can't recommend DP Films enough. From the very beginning Derek was professional and listened to everything we needed. We are JazzSho a Real Estate team and We needed drone footage and stills right away! He was on it, reasonable and VERY creative!!! He valued and respected our time, answered questions promptly and had pride in what he does. We're glad that we chose DP Films to capture one our Home and ALL the Amenities that Trilogy Monarch Dunes has to offer! We hope to keep working together, it would be a Dream! Derek was flexible/affordable and our end result but quality did not suffer because of it. Bottom line, JazzSho Real Estate Team recommends DP to anyone that wants top notch people and results. Thanks again Derek!!!! read more

Amazing company to work with. They were very easy to get in tough with. Everyone at our wedding loved them. The props were amazing. The book they provided with our photos will be kept for life. read more

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Derek and his crew. They were so fun and professional. They were very easy to work with.... we didn't mind redoing moments of getting ready again to capture them perfectly. It's important to let the professionals do what they do best. When we received the package with our video it was so beautifully packaged with so much care. We couldn't be happier with the outcome of the video itself. I personally had no idea what to expect from a wedding video but it brought tears to my eyes when I watched it. We are so happy to have that day documented so wonderfully that we will always be able to rewatch throughout our lives. We are truly grateful and definitely know now the importance of having a videographer for your big day. Thank you so much, Derek! read more

If you need a videographer, look no further. Derek is incredibly responsive and thoughtful, and very reasonably priced. If an event is important to you, it will be important to Derek and Jade. I asked Derek to videotape a performance by our son's a cappella quartet at our annual holiday party -- it has been a special family tradition for us, and this was their last year performing. Derek and Jade shot extra special footage, with multiple cameras and great microphones, and melded the entire video into a wonderful piece that our family will treasure for a long time. They clearly take a lot of pride in their work. The finished product is fabulous!! Thank you so much, Derek and Jade. :) read more

I can't recommend DP Films enough. From the very beginning Derek and Jade were professional and listened to what me and my wife envisioned. They valued and respected my time, answered questions promptly and their pride in their product shows. We're glad that we chose DP Filma to capture our wedding. They were flexible/affordable and our end result did not suffer because of it. Bottom line, I recommend DP to anyone that wants top notch people and results. I recommend that you opt for the package that includes the drone footage of your venue. Well worth the addition cost! Thank you guys! read more

Where to start... Jade and Derek are a dynamic duo! We were blessed to have them be a part of our special day. We loved everything! Jade's coordination was phenomenal and she made me feel at ease the day of our wedding. She handled everything effortlessly. Our video we received from Derek's awesome work was spectacular and brought me to tears and also my husband (*ahem even though he says he got something in his eye) I know he was feeling the same sentiment as I was. Thank you both Derek & Jade for the wonderful outcome. read more
