I'm chincy with 5 star yelp reviews, but Ian did a great job at our wedding. We had a couple of our vendors drop the ball but Bright Glare Pictures did awesome and he helped make up for shortcomings in other areas. The Good: Affordable, adaptable, and capable. Ian gave us everything we asked for and more. He was the only wedding photographer I talked too (5 total) that immediately offered to supply the unedited images from our event, which was a requirement for me. The Bad: Nothing. Like I said, Ian did a great job in all areas. I really have no complaints. The Ugly: We are going to have be careful bragging to friends who spent a lot more on other photographers that didn't get them what they wanted. I will be highly recommending Ian to any friends planning to get married in San Diego. read more

Bright Glare Pictures - Videographers Near Me

Ian was amazing!!! The morning of the wedding I realized we didn't have a projector for our slide show, he rented a projector/screen and brought it the day of...saved me!! None of the other vendors offered to do that...He seemed to get along with all my other vendors as if they had worked together 1 million times. Very comfortable to be around and very funny. During the reception he was the guy in the background, seemed to be everywhere but you never even knew he was there. He brought his drone and did a bunch of outdoor shots with us (I'm so excited to see his work). He had a few fun posses for us but didn't take up a bunch of time (cause we were running late as usual). I will definitely be recommending him to anyone and EVERYONE! Definitely one of our best choices in vendors!! Thanks Ian! Mr & Mrs Johnson read more

It's taken us a while to write this awesome review because we struggled on how to articulate our deepest gratitude to Ian for giving us a priceless memento of our twin daughters Quinceañera. His attention to detail in the editing of a very full day of events with multiple locations, was not only precise, but extremely creative as well! His song selection & editing really captured the boundless joy and happiness that we, and our guests experienced. Each time we watch it we laugh, get teary-eyed and are left wanting more! We highly recommend Ian. He was easy going, flexible, responsive and extremely profesional, Amazingly talented person. Thank you Ian!!! We are blessed and grateful to have worked with you! read more

I was hesitant to hire a videographer for my wedding because of how much i had already spent of a photographer. After asking other brides they said they wish they would have had one because pictures are fun to look back on but it just wont capture your day the way a videographer can. I am so glad i listened!! I just got my videos last night and i couldn't have been more pleased with the way they turned out. Ian had made a 10 minute highlight of the day in one dvd and another one with just my ceremony for a third of the price that i had gotten from other videographers. He was professional and polite, and even traveled over 2 hours for my wedding at no extra charge. After a year of planning the day goes by in the blink of an eye. Trust me, from one bride to another, you want this for your wedding!!! Ian, Taylor can I cannot thank you enough! We loved watching the videos last night and reliving our wedding day all over again. I will cherish these memories forever and someday will be able to share them with our children. THANK YOU!!! read more

Ian was great! He was very professional and adapted everything to what we wanted and didn't want. He worked with our budget and helped us prioritize, our video is really high quality. He was able to lift sound from both the live ceremony musicians and reception band, the toasts and vows are clear and overall the video is just very well done. We initially were on the fence about getting a video and I'm so glad we did! read more

We paid him to video tape our event, but that is not what we got. We instead felt like we had invited another family member to my wedding. He was very friendly and helpful beyond what was expected. He was amazing at what he did and how involved he was. He made the process and day go by very smoothly. Honestly my wedding day was better with him in attendance. If you want a memorable experience, you have to hire Ian to be your videographer at your event. I want to have parties just so that he can be the videographer, he is just that awesome. read more

Ian did a fabulous job for me, and was very flexible, too. Originally I had arranged to have him video a presentation I was scheduled to give in Los Angeles, but that got cancelled. I was able to reschedule him to record a talk in Carlsbad, instead. He used two cameras so he could get both longshots and closeups, and edited these smoothly into the video. He was also prepared with a portable mic that created excellent sound quality. First rate videographer, and very pleasant and easy to work with, too; highly recommended. read more

Ian did a great job of filming my Mom's funeral. He even provided a complementary copy of the dvd two years after the event! I highly recommend Bright Glare Pictures. Ian is both highly professional and extremely accommodating. read more

I hired Bright Glare Pictures for my wedding in September in San Diego and was extremely pleased with them. They were flexible with what I wanted and very professional. I was able to get footage at the house I was getting ready at, at the ceremony location, and then at the reception location. Our videographer caught the most important parts of our wedding and it was awesome to replay it all over again and share it with our loved ones. On the production side they were great, but they went above and beyond for me afterwards. I left for my honeymoon to Europe and wanted to show the video to my family in Austria. Ian shipped the video to our hotel room on the east coast and we were able to pack it with us and show it to my family who couldn't make it to the wedding. Now that is service! read more

(Written by my wife, and I agree wholeheartedly!) At first I didn't think that we would need a videographer, but my husband really wanted one. I am SO glad that I listened to my husband on this. Photos are great to have from a wedding, but having a video of your special day is a MUST! Ian was great! He had multiple cameras placed all over the church, so he was able to get amazing angles. Even just in my walk down the aisle alone I was able to see myself walking down from the front, from behind, the side, and an almost birds eye few. Ian had placed a camera on a balcony at the back of the church. I had no clue that he did this until I saw the video, and I was pleasantly surprised. I was worried that having a videographer during the ceremony would feel intrusive during what is supposed to be a very special and intimate moment in our lives. But I honestly didn't even notice that he was there. After the ceremony we headed to the reception. I was great to see everyone dancing and having a great time. Pictures were great to see one moment in time, but with the video it was honestly like reliving the incredible day all over again. All the emotions come flooding back, and you get to hear the music and the laughing. Ian was very professional and personable. We didn't think we would need him for the entire time of the reception, so when his time was almost up he let me husband know. We were so happy that he was capturing such an important time in our lives that my husband asked if he could stay for another hour. He said yes with no hesitation. Ian was great at communication as well and once the video was ready for us, he went to my husbands work to drop it off. He even created a cute DVD cover with a collage of stills from the wedding. I thought it was a great touch. The editing was beautiful and the final outcome was better than I could have imagined. Ian Delgado is an amazing videographer and editor, and we will definitely use him in the next big moment in our lives. read more

Ian was AMAZING!!! He was easy to communicate with and answered emails within minutes, had extremely fair prices, showed up early on the big day, caught every special moment on film, and put together the most amazing professional DVD for us that looks like it was a Hollywood Movie. There was no detail overlooked, from the beautiful custom DVD case to the incredible editing done with the raw footage. This was worth every penny and more!! Don't look any further, Ian is incredible!!!!!! read more

We hired Ian to film my teenage son's band, as we hosted a backyard concert. Ian was on time, professional and friendly. All the guests spoke highly of him. And then the finished product was just as we hoped--delivered on time, beautiful shots, clean sound, well edited--the DVD will be a great memento for the rest of our lives. I'm planning to hire Ian again to record our school plays--I respect his work and had a good experience working with him. read more

I found this company via Thumbtack, and decided to use them for my father's memorial based on other's reviews and their rate. I think I booked them about two weeks before the event. Communications with Ian was prompt and professional. Everything on the day of the memorial went smoothly. For the whole package, which included one videographer, compilation of the DVD, and two DVD copies, my price was $300. This was for about an hour footage at the memorial, so I am not sure how comparable it is to weddings. In any case, I was pleasantly surprised by the finished product. Although the DVD did take some time to arrive (their office was in the midst of moving at the time), the finished product was thoughtful and nicely edited. The videographer took some footage of the displays we had out, as well as the flowers and other background settings - not just the memorial service itself. Ian also edited in the actual slideshow I had made into the DVD, which was a great touch. (The slideshow at the memorial didn't project well due to lighting/audio issues). It's certainly not fancy Hollywood style cinematography, but I am happy we didn't just ask someone to videotape the memorial. It was totally worth the money spent. All in all, great service and quality DVDs:) I trust them and would recommend their services to keep that special memory. read more

Ian was the videographer for our daughter's wedding in Big Bear, California, July 11, 2015. I was able to view the video yesterday, and I was very impressed. Our daughter told us it was great! He arrived early and took a lot of video of the beautiful venue, Gold Mountain Manor, before the ceremony. The edited version was amazing, as he added music that was used in the wedding and reception. We also enjoyed the raw version. I would definitely recommend Ian, Bright Glare Pictures for you videography needs. read more

To be perfectly frank videography for our wedding was an afterthought. Our own parents thought it was a waste of money. However my husband and I wanted to at least capture the ceremony (since we knew that we weren't going to remember any of it ... which we didn't). Ian did a great job of getting all that for us and we now a really special succinct video of our ceremony :) read more

Ian was such a great guy to work with. Very professional and easy going. We loved our video and will be recommending him to anyone who is looking for a videographer. read more

Ian captured my daughters wedding day yesterday and did a perfect job. Very personable, professional and punctual. Can't wait to see the final product. He is even doing a European disc for the grandparents in England, so they can view the disc. Great job.... read more

I called Bright Glare a week before my wedding for videography service. Ian responded promptly and his communication and follow up during the week was excellent. The videographer that performed the service was very professional. We love the final video! read more

At the last minute we realized we needed to hire a videographer to capture my Mother's memorial service. I was so impressed with Thumbtack, but even more impressed with Ian of Bright Glare Pictures. His bid was quick, communication was efficient and the final project is exactly what I was hoping for. A gentleman and a professional. read more

Very professional and very friendly! Captured all the wonderful moments of my quince, could have not asked for anyone better!

Bright Glare Pictures filmed our wedding ceremony - only for one hour, which was amazing to begin with because we really only wanted to film our ceremony, and it was really difficult to find someone to work for such a short time frame, so thank you for that! And then Ian and his team were so helpful - they really made sure everything was set up the best it could be. They went above and beyond what they promised us! And they captured they audio beautifully!! Couldn't be more happy with our video footage!! I would suggest this company to anyone and am so happy we chose them!!! read more

Thank you so much for capturing our special day! You guys did a fantastic job! Loved the final product! Very professional, reliable, and easy to work with.Thanks Again! read more
