The short version - Blessed Wedding Photography becomes part of your wedding day, actively involved…read morewith making events run smooth, reducing bridal stress, while capturing the moments on camera and staying hidden. Photo ninjas. I wanted to put a lot of thought and care into writing this review for Blessed Wedding Photography, just as Johanna and Anna put the same into our big day. So please excuse this delayed account of our experience. We found Blessed Wedding Photography through theknot.com. We were looking for a mid-price range, local to wedding location, and packages to include all rights to all digital images and engagement photos. Engagement session - Johanna let us choose the location but she clearly did her homework, as she knew all the right spots for excellent lighting and scenery. At our request, she included our two little kids in the photos, getting them excited about smiling and being silly for the pictures. She was sure to get more intimate shots of just the two of us too. Within a very reasonable amount of time, she provided us with a link to view and download all of our photos. They turned out amazing and I gained so much confidence for our wedding day photos. What a chance to try out a company before the big day! Johanna kept in touch with us leading up to June to gather all of the wedding details and put together a photography itinerary to align with our events. Wedding day - Our wedding was in the morning (early!) and she and her partner Anna were at our hotel at 4:00 AM to take photos of the ladies getting ready. They then split up so that Anna could take photos of the guys and Johanna stayed with the ladies. Having two photographers is a must for some great parallel shots! Anna and Johanna traveled to the San Diego Safari Park and took great photos before, during, and after the ceremony. They stayed through most of the reception too. Johanna even helped to bustle my dress! Anna was attentive and brought the DJ a chair. They offer excellent customer service and attention to detail. Just a couple weeks later, they provided us with a couple of preview photos that we could use for our thank you cards. And within three weeks of the wedding, they provided us with a link to view and download all of our photos. They wanted us to have them before we went on our honeymoon. It was so thoughtful. Included in our package were a wedding photo album and a credit towards upgrading to a fancy album. We chose to not upgrade the album but the standard album does not disappoint. We chose our favorite photos and Johanna carefully arranged them into an album layout. She shared a preview with us before ordering to print. She looked it over and delicately shipped it to us. We love it. Overall, Blessed Wedding Photography makes you feel like a dear friend and you end up wishing you included as one of the bridesmaids instead of behind the camera.

Fortunately, I heeded the advice of many brides who'd come before me and, against my initial misgivings, decided to go for it. I'm so glad I did! My two concerns now seem so silly. Luke was completely unobtrusive and was also able to work with my teeny-tiny budget. That day is such a blur and I hardly remember the beautiful toasts that our family gave, the details of the gorgeous beach ceremony, my hilarious wardrobe malfunction during our first dance ... Thankfully, I now have this record of all those moments! I recommend having a video of your wedding and I whole-heartedly recommend having Luke McCain film it. He's great! Just do it!

If you're anything like me you probably haven't considered hiring a wedding videographer because,…read morewell, it's one more expense. Trust me when I say that I am SO glad I ditched that idea! Luke is extremely professional -- arriving early, dressing appropriately for the occasion, even taking the time to personally meet our family members and introduce himself. He was easy to work with throughout the whole process and caught every moment perfectly. Best of all, we kind of forgot he was there! Luke did such a great job but was never "in the way" or obvious about it. Perhaps best of all, we got our video within a few weeks! Getting to sit down and relive that day again and again is so special. Hiring Luke was one of the best decisions we made because he was wonderful to work with and now we will have these memories forever captured on film to show our kids and grandkids someday! The little extra investment is definitely worth that!

At the time, I wasn't even considering a Videographer because of the cost but I received an email after the Bazaar and decided to have a meeting. Needless to say, I trusted Brendon with capturing our wedding day, and he did not disappoint. He was not only incredibly easy to work with but he was fun to work with. He was able to work with our budget and still gave us a video beyond my expectations. This man is efficient!! My husband, family, friends, and I were all super impressed. I even sent his information to my best friend- Christina ( who's review is below -Christina K) and he shot her wedding as well and did an incredible job. I am so happy I went with San Diego Studios to capture our day. I cannot thank you enough!

Magdalena and Matt were an absolute dream team to work with. They traveled from San Diego to the…read moreBay Area to film our wedding, and we couldn't be more grateful that we chose them. From the moment they arrived, they were professional, warm, and incredibly dedicated. Magdalena, despite being far along in her pregnancy, was on her feet all day and moving with agility to capture every special moment. Their calm energy made the entire experience feel effortless. During the day, we could remain present with our friends and family without being overly conscious of the cameras. We were truly blown away by our highlight story. It captured the heart of our wedding day: the laughter, the love, the tears, and the voices of our friends and family. There were even tender private moments, like side glances and kisses, that made me realize how my husband and I express our love for one another. Her films portray such raw emotions and authenticity, which really stand out against other generic wedding videos. Magdalena is a masterful storyteller, weaving our vows and guest speeches with the right combination of imagery and sounds. Each time I watch it (and I can't stop watching it over and over!), I find new details to fangirl over, like the flick of my veil hitting the beat of the music perfectly. She really understood that, for us, the wedding day extends beyond our love for one another and to our new, blended families. My sister was not able to make our wedding due to health issues, and Magdalena managed to incorporate a snippet of our video call to include her. Additionally, she highlighted such sweet candid moments between us and our parents as we were getting ready and dancing together. These interactions, our unique mannerisms, our relationships with one another -- these are the things I'll be cherishing for years and years to come. We are so grateful to Nena Films, and highly recommend them to capture your special day! You'll get so much more than you expected!

I wanted a video that felt authentic, timeless, and not overly commercial if that makes sense. Magdalena achieved exactly what my partner and I were looking for! She is so talented and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding videographer. She is such a genuine, kind, and cool human. She is very communicative and goes above and beyond to understand your needs. My entire bridal party raved about her and her partner Cris! I am usually very camera shy but she seamlessly managed to capture all of the wonderful moments and emotions of our big day. I initially hesitated to get videography for our wedding due to budget constraints, but looking back, I am so glad because videos convey the day so much better than photos do. We get to relive moments that only happen once in a lifetime. Two months after our wedding, unfortunately, our sweet dog passed away and Magdalena was able to include snippets of her in our video. I'm grateful to have this video to cherish forever, it is now my favorite movie and I tear up watching it! Our friends and family stated that the video was beautiful. THANK YOU so much Magdalena for everything you do!

The photos came in the exact time she quoted us but the edits look like pictures taken and edited off an iPhone. Not happy with them. I had to re-crop and edit majority of all photos as best I could as all the edits completely washed out our skin tone, the colors of the sky etc. I asked for the raws so I could just edit them myself from scratch and it's been 2 weeks and still haven't received them. Didn't remind us or inform to take phones/wallets out of pockets so those just look lovely in all our photos **sarcasm**. Book with someone else who knows what they're doing and takes their time on special memories like this. Updating my review! Got some of the raws back a day after making my review, which was nice of her to send as she said she didn't usually do so, but the quality of the photos look like they were taken on an iPhone..it was nice to see some of the photos that didn't come through as finals. Aside from how the photos came out, the one positive was that Anel was easy to communicate with and nice overall!!
