My fiancé hired Sam to take pictures of our engagement. He was communicative and professional leading up to the moment, and worked hard to make sure he was prepared and in the agreed-upon location on time. He delivered 12 edited photos of our engagement the very next day and they captured the moment perfectly. We shared with all of our friends and family. We would definitely hire Sam again for any future photography needs. read more

CDA Films - Videographers Near Me

See all

I came across CDA films on the Knot, searching for videographers for my wedding. I reached out to Sam and he quickly replied requesting to speak on the phone. I really appreciated this as I live in San Diego (married in the Bay Area) and Sam (CDA Films) was in San Francisco. It was so nice speaking to him on the phone, listening to his authenticity and genuine appreciation for the field he works in and excitement to film our wedding. Long story short, we booked with CDA Films and come our wedding day, Sam walked into my bridal suite (I had never met him before) and I was caught off guard by how sweet and humble he was. He jumped right in (we booked a 1 shooter 10 hour session) to filming myself and bridesmaids and my husband with his groomsmen getting ready, then on to the remainder of the day. I was very impressed with his coordination with my other vendors (coordinator and photographer) and arriving on time at a hard to find venue (Thomas Fogarty Winery) he had never been to. He arrived promptly on time and was ready to go. He worked well with the photographer, politely asking if he could get a shot here and there. I had no expectations of what a videographer would bring to my wedding day, but I was BLOWN away. If you are on the fence I HIGHLY recommend booking CDA films. He is professional, respectful, professional and understands all the meaningful and important moments to capture. The best part is Sam is not pretentious, and he shoots your wedding personally, almost as if it was his own. He doesn't have boxes to check, he films what comes naturally. We love watching our wedding over and over thanks to CDA Films. read more

I got in touch with Sam to help me out with some pictures for my dating profile, and he absolutely knocked it out of the park. We went to several spots around the city where he provided suggestions, guidance, and feedback to get a boatload of perfect pictures. On top of that, he did some color touch up that made them look really spectacular. This guy is truly gifted, and I'd recommend him in a heartbeat. Oh, and as for my dating profile? Let's just say this was the best money I've spend in a very long time. Stop looking around, just hire Sam. You won't regret it! read more
