We hired Brendan Reiss to film our wedding. Brendan was easy to communicate with and was able to answer all of our questions. The way Brendan filmed our wedding was truly magical. One unique thing Brendan did was filming aerial views of our wedding venue with his drone. He used top of the line equipment to film our wedding and didn’t miss any important shots. The highlight video and long video Brendan provided us was breathtaking. The videos were high quality, and the music chosen truly matched our wedding. We want to say thank you Brendan for your thoughtfulness, and flexibility working with us. The videos you made for us will be something that we cherish forever. You gave us the gift of being able to relive the happiest day of our lives. We cannot thank you enough for all that you’ve done. We highly recommend hiring Reiss Films for your next event!

Awarded Best of Zola
Neal and I were extremely happy with Driftr Films. Danny captured our wedding ceremony at Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery (in Livermore wine country) on July 25th beautifully! We were so please to be able to have this memory for us. Danny was highly professional and personable, and the video and audio came out perfect! He delivered a link with our ceremony and a short reel the next day via email! The link was easy to access and the video downloaded with no problem at all. We can also use the link to share with friends and family. We really appreciated how Danny was willing to work with us to put together a package for us to just capture the ceremony. His pricing was also very reasonable compared to other vendors. He also took the time to get to know us as a couple before the ceremony through a combination of online questionnaire and a video meeting two weeks before our big day. We highly recommend Danny and Driftr Films.

The number one tip we got from multiple couples during wedding planning was: hire a videographer! We are so glad we listened and ended up working with Featherstone Films. Colin and team did a phenomenal job and were so easy to work with. It’s not always easy being in front of a camera, but Colin perfectly balanced capturing the candid moments while also directing when helpful to capture some really fun and beautiful shots. We love the edited video he created and have watched it so many times. We’re also are so grateful for all the raw sound and video footage - which he made easy to access and save. We have already revisited so much of the footage, and can’t wait to continue doing so for years to come. We highly recommend working with Colin to capture your big day :)

My wife and I had been referred to Tim and Affinity Productions by a friend and we couldn’t have been any happier. We booked them and it was just a great experience from beginning to end. Tim set up meetings online for us to go through prices, timelines, and ideas. He is very transparent with what services him and his team offer and they delivered! He had excellent communication throughout the process and it made wedding planning so much easier knowing that we would have videography on lock. On the actual wedding day, they brought so much enthusiasm and fun. They captured everything, from the getting ready videos, ceremony, speeches, and open dancing. I also appreciated all the candid shots that they took and that they even joined in on the dancing to capture our friends and family having a great time.

I am a phoenix-based wedding filmmaker fully invested in your love story. If I'm being honest, films found their way to me. I clearly remember my parents owning hundreds of VHS and us watching through all of them. There were our favorite classics like Stand By Me, Hook, or The Imitations of life. There was a singular commonality: They caused me to feel. They were raw and used the elements of storytelling at their best. Whenever I help tell your love story, I hope you can look back and feel the love.

Awarded Best of Zola
I've photographed weddings for over 15 years it's difficult to find a videographer that is easy to work with. We all have our "shots" we want to achieve communicating with Jay is always easy. He's always a blast to work alongside I recommend him to all of my clients looking for a videographer.

Hey! Thanks for stumbling upon my business listing and taking the time to read all about me. I'm a passionate creative who strives to create a timeless film that the two of you can cherish for a lifetime. I appreciate authenticity, candid, and vulnerable moments.

Garrett Goerl is the best photographer I have ever used. He was incredibly professional, respectful, fun, and talented. My husband and I do not have much experience in front of a camera, and tend to dislike getting out pictures taken, but Garrett made us feel at ease and also helped us feel more confident in our photos. All of the wedding guests we had had nothing but positive and excellent things to say about Garrett. I also ended up getting fairly sick on my wedding day, and Garrett was not only very flexible with the schedule that became in flux because of this, but also, photographed me so well you couldn't tell that I felt like fainting all day, lol. I appreciated working with him, he was kind, flexible, and hilarious. The pictures came out beautifully and I love that we have so many great photos in our possession now. Thank you for everything Garrett!

Hi, I'm Jesse, an award-winning, international wedding filmmaker. I love to tell stories in a strong and original way. My work today is all about STORYTELLING and the PEOPLE that help move your story along. I have been part of so many incredibly personal moments, memories, laughs, tears, and emotions over the past decade. I understand the magnitude of what it is I do. My passion is telling your unique story and I'd love to be the first and maybe only professional you hire to document your life!

I am truly so thankful for Jesse and his team. His talent in catching and documenting special moments on your wedding day is beyond what you can anticipate. The art of taking those special moments and forming a video with music and voice recordings from the ceremony and speeches is not something just anyone can do. I have to say, our wedding videos are BEYOND. The more we watch them, the more thankful we are to have hired Jesse and his team. Besides the fact that Jesse was so wonderful to work with from our first phone call to the day of our wedding, he is so kind and has amazing attention to detail. He caught everything on our video "wishlist" and gave us some of the best tips before the wedding. He asked for our vows, speeches, and ceremony script ahead of time and then incorporated video shots with special words as they are played. All around, incredible! I'd hire him again in a heartbeat and recommend him to no end!

HEY! I'M ASHLEY! Aka, Your Professional third wheel! I am so happy you dropped by! I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts! (But I mean who isnt! I just cant help it!) FUN FACT: I speak switzerdütsch, aka a German slang. My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

Ashley is one of the most caring photographers I’ve ever had. She really went above and beyond even before I booked her. She sent out a timeline of how my session was going to go and even send me suggestions of what to wear. Then came the session, she made me really comfortable in my own skin and made me giggle so much with her awesome humor. I was really worried about how I would look, but when I saw the photos I was so happy I almost cried! She got all my best angles and captured my true personality in those photos!! If you want someone that goes above and beyond, takes care of your needs, and is FUN to work with and captures your best angles, SHE IS THE ONE!!!

On our wedding day he moved effortlessly with our photographers, capturing every important detail. I honestly had no idea that Nico and Eddie were filming the entire day, it just felt as if they were part of our wedding. When we received the highlight film we were completely blown away. From the editing to the music selection Nico exceeded our expectations! We were so impressed by our highlight film that we also ordered the documentary film. Nico has given us the best gift of reliving our wedding day every time we watch. This was one of the most important vendor selections for us and I am so happy that we found Dream Together Films.
