SD Wedding Films

Q: Do you film destination weddings?

Definitely! While we’re based in San Diego, California, we’re available for destination weddings worldwide. If your wedding is over 50 miles outside the San Diego metropolitan area, we’re happy to come to your city for an additional fee to cover the cost of travel and reasonable accommodations.

Q: Do you film elopements?

Absolutely. Reach out anytime to ask about our special pricing for elopements!

Q: How far in advance should we book you for our wedding?

Once you know your wedding date, we recommend reaching out as soon as possible about our availability. We film a limited number of weddings every year to ensure our couples receive the highest quality service, so our calendar typically fills up months in advance.

Q: Do you have insurance?

Yes! We’re happy to send a copy of our certificate of liability insurance to your venue or any other vendors upon request.

Q: Can you still film our outdoor wedding if it rains on our wedding day?

Yes, although we won't be able to use any of our lighting or gimbals.

Q: Who will edit our wedding video?

All footage we film is edited in-house by our incredible editing team.

Q: Can you do a same-day edit?

We’re happy to offer a same-day edit for an additional fee. After your ceremony, one of your videographers will work with an editor on set to put together your same-day edit. We’ll make sure the final video is done in time for your reception.

Q: How many videographers should we book for our wedding?

Most weddings can be captured by one videographer. Experience and equipment matter far more than the number of videographers. 2 inexperienced and ill-equipped videographers will capture far less than an experienced videographer with a well rounded kit. That being said we do encourage having two highly capable videographers for your wedding if it's within your budget!

Simply Amazing!!

We were on the fence about hiring a videographer and I am SO happy that we did! From the very first interaction with Jacob, I knew that he was who we should go with. He was very honest and answered all my questions in a timely manner. Based on what we wanted, he suggested we get the Highlights Package, which was absolutely perfect for us!! We received all the raw footage along with the highlight reel– which is just amazing, because we are now able to relive all the moments from that day over and over again. On the day of the wedding, Zac arrived right on time and was such a joy to have around. I loved that he worked seamlessly with our photographers, it was as if they were one team. Throughout the day, he captured every special moment and also made us feel at ease in front of the camera. If you are on the fence about getting a videographer, take it from me and stop questioning it! Book SD Wedding Films and you will not regret it!
Great turnaround and beautiful video

SD Wedding Films was a fantastic choice for our wedding videography. From the very beginning, they were quick to respond to our inquiries and helped us feel at ease throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, their team was professional and discreet, capturing all the special moments without being intrusive. The final video they delivered was absolutely beautiful - it truly captured the joy and emotion of our day. We were so glad to receive the raw footage as well, which allowed us to relive every moment. SD Wedding Films exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented and responsive videography team.

SD Wedding Films is incredible. Their exceptional work speaks volumes and instantly convinced us that we had found a team with a unique touch. Their professionalism and quality are unmatched, making them stand out in the industry. From the first interaction, Jacob answered all our questions pleasantly. A few weeks before the wedding, he reached out to better understand our story and the most important aspects of our wedding that we wanted captured. He also revised our timeline and suggested ensuring we received comprehensive coverage. Their early arrival and patience as my makeup ran behind on the wedding day were greatly appreciated. His seamless collaboration with our wedding coordinator and photographer made working with him an absolute pleasure. His kindness and understanding made the day even more special. Throughout the event, he captured countless cherished moments and, most importantly, made us feel at ease in front of the camera. Receiving the final product was an emotional experience. The video, a true work of art, and the raw footage, equally impressive, exceeded our expectations. Its sheer beauty moved us to tears, and we can confidently say that every penny spent was worth the unforgettable experience.
