14/10 MUST HIRE If you are on the fence about hiring a…read morevideography team, get off the fence and hire Etch Films. Etch Films exceeded our expectations and captured our wedding day PERFECTLY!!! The wedding video was one of the most important aspects of our wedding (in my eyes) so I knew we had to choose someone epic to capture it and edit it to perfection. My husband and I didn't want a "cliche" or "cheesy" wedding video that looked like everyone else's....you know the type. We wanted something fun, exciting, unique...and Etch films was 100% the way to go. From our first meeting with Jordan and Julie, we knew we had made the right decision. Your videography team is so important, and you want to choose people that you get along with! Jordan and Julie are the sweetest and coolest people/ vendors that we have ever met, like literally. They make you feel 100% comfortable and they bring out the best in their clients on wedding/event day! We were so impressed with the creativity of Etch films and we appreciated that they captured all the amazing moments of our wedding day and somehow managed to also be "behind the scenes" most of the time! They are so talented when it comes to editing the footage and putting it to awesome music. We left it up to them to choose the music and they knocked it out of the park! They are wonderful at finding out your favorite parts of wedding videos and the vibe you are going for, and making sure that your video reflects that. Etch films truly cares about you and they go above and beyond to make sure that they deliver the perfect video. We were so impressed that even the music was perfectly synced up with what we were doing at that moment in the video! One of the best decisions we ever made for our wedding was investing in Etch Films. They are a vendor team like no other, they are amazingly talented humans, they are wonderful people. Do yourself a favor; invest in a team that will capture the joyful, silly, fun, candid, and amazing moments of your day. This will be what you watch after your wedding, you will show this to family and friends for years to come. Make sure it is a legendary video. The ONLY way to ensure that you get the best video ever, is to go with Etch Films. They are worth everything, they are amazing. We love them! :)

The absolute best there is! Jordan and Julie were right beside us for every detail of our day and…read morewe will be forever grateful for these memories on film. Day of, they were always around with a smile on their faces, capturing the moments I was afraid everyone else missed but were also somehow completely invisible, never ever in the way. Even my Mother commented multiple times during the day about how pleasant and kind they were while also being on top of every single moment of the day. I work in the wedding industry and kindness is rarely a thing you see but it is even more rare when partnered with talent on this level. Also, I am very awkward in front of the camera and I require a little direction, our photographer took a very hands off approach so having the very thoughtfully composed shots and lighting that were very carefully directed by Jordan and Julie are invaluable to having the beautiful moments of the day preserved for years to come. As a visual person, I was most impressed with their story telling, they really understood and conveyed the theme and story I had in my mind of the day without every having to be told or spelled out for them. Their art direction, cinematography and ability to tell a story are as good as it gets! After watching our film an unreasonable number of times, I still pick up on nuances where they timed the flip of a dress of the movement in a shot to match up with the music. There are easter eggs hidden throughout the film for us to find and I have so much fun explaining them to friends when watching. Etch Films is next level and I feel both lucky and impossibly grateful that I get to relive our wedding day anytime I want. In fact, I'm going to watch it again right now because it is my favorite thing to watch. I almost feel sorry for my friends who hired other videographers because there is no comparison in the videos they have when put next to our stunning film. And if you don't believe me, please go watch the film, it really does speak for itself.

We had a very small, intimate backyard wedding. Our wedding photos came out so beautiful and the video highlight reel transported us back to that day, bringing all the feels along with it. I really loved Anne's communication, especially with our phone call a month before the wedding to work out the kinks. Absolutely ADORED her direction day-of. No wasted time and she made us look great in every photo! David was so slick with the camera work as well, half the time we didn't even know he was there! Kim did an amazing job editing our highlight video and really captured all the details in 3 minutes. He synced it well with the music we chose too (Birds of a Feather by Billie Eilish). I highly recommend Something New and Blue team to capture your day!!!

I chose Anne and Dave as the videographers for my March 2023 wedding for two main reasons: (1) they…read moreoffered a video package that I wanted, that few others did, and at a reasonable price. It was really important to me to have a copy of the raw footage from my wedding, because I knew I was going to be too busy to remember the ceremony and the toasts, and all those other important moments. Anne and Dave offered a package that included this footage, and at a reasonable price. The other videographer I had found who offered this was charging an exorbitant amount. (2) I spoke with Anne before hiring her, and I really liked her. She responded to my email inquiry very quickly. When we talked about their packages, she gave me her honest opinion--that, for what I was looking for, one of their cheaper packages would be sufficient. She could have tried to upsell me, but the fact that she didn't showed me that she has integrity. I also just really liked her energy when I spoke with her. She seemed really earnest, cheerful, and supportive. I'm so pleased with the work that Anne and Dave did. They arrived early to the venue and worked nonstop until after the first dance. Our photographer seemed to enjoy working with them, to the extent that I thought they were already friends (but they'd all just met that day). Anne and Dave both had good suggestions for certain shots they wanted, and even recommended some shots to the photographer. Lastly, there was a point before the ceremony where I was extremely stressed and frustrated, and Anne came over under the guise of fixing my necklace, but I think she was also trying to help me take deep breaths. She wasn't being condescending or anything, it was just a natural extension of her calm energy. That moment helped ground me, and helped me feel like I had someone supporting me. I could cry just thinking about it, because she knew what I needed in the moment. We received our highlight video less than 2 months after the wedding, and it's so cute! I'm excited to go through the raw footage next. This experience has been 100% positive.

The highlight video completely amazed us. Every single detail was thoughtfully included, and we still can't believe how a day filled with so many emotions and unforgettable moments was perfectly condensed into a 6 minute film that genuinely told our story. It was emotional, authentic, and perfect. We haven't even made it through all of the raw footage yet, but what we've seen so far has already brought the biggest smiles to our faces. Being able to relive our wedding day, and even notice moments we didn't catch at the time, is such a gift. Thank you again to Nathan and his team for preserving our special day so perfectly. We truly appreciate the care, talent, and effort that went into your work. You all did an amazing job, and we couldn't be happier! I would highly recommend Prince Productions for your wedding or any other significant event in your life.

I'm very happy we sought Owen for our engagement photos. He was made the process easy and I…read moredefinitely recommend him to anyone in need of a professional photographer. My husband and I were surprised with how good the photos turned out. Owen guided us on poses, so do not worry if you don't have any experience in front of a camera like us. I appreciate his attention to detail (notifying us of stray hairs, etc.) and he was respectful for my family who wanted a group photo. Not to mention, he's really humorous with his pop culture references; that definitely broke the ice and allowed us to be more at ease. I also want to highlight that he works incredibly fast and presented the finished products just a few days after our shoot!

He knew what we were looking for and took pictures of everything, food, guests, the venue. He directed all of the family photos and wasn't afraid to tell people to fix things for the sake of the pictures. He had my kids taking their monstrous load of stuff out of their pockets and even had me "suck it in" to get the right shot. Quick delivery of the photos and was cool enough to just give us all of the picture for the event. Highly recommend....

We first saw Emotion Picture Studios on a preferred vendor list and after reviewing some sample…read morework they sent us and reading reviews on other wedding sites, we decided to go with them. Marc and company were very communicative and answered our many questions in the lead-up to the wedding. They have you fill out a questionnaire which gets you to think about which style of video you'd like, documentary or cinematic, and which songs you'd like included. We opted for cinematic. A few days prior to the wedding, we were notified that Jessica would be our videographer. She showed up right on time the day of the wedding after verifying which rooms we'd be getting ready in. Jessica was lovely to work with and it helped she also got along great with our photographers (I think she'd worked with some of them before). Right on schedule, about two months later, she reached out to us to let us know that both our trailer and our full wedding video were ready. The videos did not disappoint; they were equal parts beautiful and touching and included several of our favorite wedding songs including our first dance song. It was the right call for us to opt for cinematic; it was very moving to watch our wedding day unfold as if it was a shorter feature length film. We asked for our full video to include the entirety of both of our vows and it was wonderful to have those both captured. We're so happy to have the videos to help us remember the best parts of our wedding. Thank you for your wonderful work!

We truly cannot say enough great things about Dave and Samantha from Light Up Video. From start to finish, their professionalism, creativity, and genuine passion for their work blew us away. From our very first interaction, they were responsive, kind, and full of positive energy. They created a custom quote tailored to our unique event, which was not only more flexible than what others were offering, but also extremely reasonable. Their response time is quick and they're very transparent when it comes to pricing, timeline and what's achievable. Even though they're based in LA, they traveled to San Diego to capture our day and didn't balk at the initial reach out. That level of professionalism, attentiveness, and accommodation really set them apart from the many vendors we explored during the hiring process. Dave and Samantha brought a can-do attitude and sharp creative perspective that made the entire experience feel collaborative and exciting. They listened to our vision, offered thoughtful suggestions without ever pushing an agenda, and elevated the final product far beyond what we imagined. Samantha handled all the logistics and drone work with grace and precision, and Dave captured our elopement with an artist's eye. From planning through final delivery and everywhere in between, every detail was handled with care. Their punctuality and professionalism made everything feel seamless on a day of such high importance to us. We are BEYOND THRILLED with the final video. It's something we'll cherish for the rest of our lives, and we feel so lucky that it was Light Up Video who told our story.
