Tom was an absolute pleasure to work with both before and on our wedding day. He was prompt in answering emails and any questions I had leading up to the big day. He worked with me on planning a timeline of the day and asking for specific details we made sure we wanted to be filmed. Day of he was earlier than expected which was great! He was friendly and super enthusiastic about the work he was doing. He went out of his way to make sure he captured the most special moments of our wedding and went above and beyond.

Shutter and Sound

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are thrilled with the stunning work of Shutter and Sound! Their highly talented videographers perfectly captured all the love and memories of our wedding day, and helped preserve them in film. Reliving the day by watching our highlight video brought us and our family to tears of joy. Every beautiful moment was captured with crystal-clear visuals from getting ready with our wedding attendants to our sparkler send off at the end of the night. The drone footage and details shots also perfectly blended with the rest of the film and helped set the stage for our perfect day. We can’t thank Shutter and Sound enough for the creativity and care they put into making our wedding video. I highly recommend!

If you’re reading this review, you’re likely considering Steven and Wild Light Films as part of your big day. DO IT!! We were originally drawn to his unique style of work, music-video like approach, and storytelling ability in capturing the essence of people’s wedding days. Working with Steven was incredible and we can’t say enough about how much we loved his work. We booked him back in 2019 for our 2020 wedding, but of course with COVID we had to push it back a year. He was super flexible and accommodating, and we still figured out a plan to have video footage of an intimate ceremony in 2020, as well as the original plan for 2021. He did such an amazing job incorporating the two ceremonies together into one seamless video, which he turned around even quicker than we expected! Steven is a delight to work with—truly a genuinely kind person. His video editing craftsmanship and storytelling are compelling—rewatching our video + highlights felt like taking us right back to the memories and joy of our day. Do yourself and your future self a favor and get Steven to make your wedding video that you’ll cherish for years to come.

Hello! My name is Brandon Wilson, together with my wife Rosaida; we own and run Brandon Wilson Films. We are a husband and wife team, we specialize in cinematic docuseries-style wedding videos. We love the real emotions and events of a wedding day. Our approach is a little different to filming weddings, we mic up more than just the couple, preferably some of the bridal party and some of the parents. This allows us to pull from real conversations, and constantly show the wedding how it unfolds.

My fiancé and i are shy people, but Brandon made us feel so comfortable during our engagement session. We laughed during the entire session, i would recommend them to anyone looking for a videographer. Once we saw our video we posted it immediately to share with our loved one. Absolutely amazing!
