If you are looking for the perfect videographer, look no further. Elise Films is the best there is! From the beginning, we knew that we loved Hai's style, but the end product was even better than we could ever imagine. Hai is extremely professional and met with us twice prior to the wedding so that he could really capture everything we wanted and talk about what we needed. He was very accommodating and we loved how detailed he was in everything he did. He was able to get all of the little details of the wedding, from the decor, the guests, the big and small moments, and everything in between. The final video really captured the essence of our wedding beautifully and we have received sooo many compliments about how incredible it was. It feels like we get to relive it over and over again! We also love that we get the footage of the ceremony, speeches, dancing, and candid shots of everyone. The editing and the videos captured were PERFECT and we are beyond happy with everything. We could not believe how fast we got the video because there was soo much footage to go through. We definitely recommend Elise Films to everyone getting married/anyone who needs a videographer! Thank you so much for capturing our wedding perfectly! read more

During our wedding planning process, videography has always been at the top of my must-have list since I wanted to relive our wedding day in video form for future years to come. There are so many different videography styles, but Elise Films caught my eye on Instagram @elisefilms because they showcased a beautiful story where I could feel the emotions and love from the couple. During my initial conversation with Hai, I told him about one of our concerns since our wedding would be in Orange County but he was located in San Diego. He assured me that he visited Orange County quite often due to other weddings and his family so there would be no additional traveling fees which was good to hear. He's also very flexible about his packages and can do a custom package that may be a better fit based on your wedding needs. We ended up going with his Feature Film custom package adding on more hours and including a sneak peek as well. His videography and drone views are top notch and extremely professional that it's like watching a movie! When we had to postpone our wedding in 2020, we wanted to be sure that we could keep Elise Films and almost had a date secured with all our other vendors but unfortunately, he was already booked. Luckily, we were able to come up with a new date that worked with his schedule so we were relived we could keep him and he was able to honor our new date at no extra charge. A week before the wedding, Hai requested a Zoom meeting with so that we could go over any final details which shows how much thought and care he does for every couple. We had a wonderful meeting with him to go over the logistics and what we wanted to capture. On our wedding day, Hai showed up early to do set up and was able to capture a few moments before anyone else had arrived. His dedication is a testament to the work product he provides which is 100% perfection. We were glad to see that he brought his own microphone and sound system as well so that the audio would be very clear. Throughout the wedding day, Hai and David made sure that different moments were captured, and we also had fun recreating and moving around to get that perfect shot. At one point, I was all set up with the microphone to read the vows however things didn't go according to plan since we ran out of time but Hai was able to quickly clean it up and keep things moving along so that there would be no delays. Hai partnered very well with our wedding coordinator and photography team so that there was open communication to capture any couple or group shots. Even during the reception, Hai was one of the last vendors to leave so that he could capture all the dancing moments for our guests. He is truly dedicated to his work and we're so honored that we could have him as our videographer. We were so excited when we received our sneak preview which was completed in 2.5 weeks and our feature film before 9 weeks which was the exact timeframe he had given to us. I was moved to tears by the way he captured our vows and interweaved it with the wedding ceremony for our films. The sneak peek and feature film are touching and beautiful to watch. We're so glad that we can share with our loved ones and friends in addition to other parts of the wedding that didn't make the cut. Hai is down to earth, easy-going, and extremely responsive and communicative to all the questions we had. Thank you Hai for creating a beautiful video memory for us to enjoy for years to come! read more

See all

We used Elise Films for our video/photos for our wedding on June 24th, 2023. Hai and his team were amazing to work with all throughout the planning process. The day of our wedding went smoothly and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The planning process early on was easy and communication was great. Highly recommend Elise Films for all your videography and photography needs! read more

I cannot thank Hai and his amazing team enough for capturing our wedding day so beautifully. From the moment we chose Elise Films to be our photographer and videographer Hai has been nothing short of caring, helpful, and attentive. We never got the vibe he was trying to sell us his services; he came off as someone who takes pride in his work and genuinely wants to capture his clients' special moments -- this was beyond evident when he came to our rehearsal dinner the evening before the wedding to take photos. He has been wonderful to work with, and while my husband and I do not miss the stress of wedding planning, we sincerely miss Hai. If you are looking for a wedding photographer/videographer... Correction, if you are looking for any-special-life-event photographer/videographer CHOOSE ELISE FILMS. You won't be disappointed. The beauty of Hai and his team's photos and videos are only matched by the beauty of their personalities. Thank you Hai, David, Bao, and Yasir -- you guys are the real MVPs! read more

I had the grand opportunity to work with Elise Films a couple of times and thought Hai deserves a 5-star review for what he does! Although this review is a vendor-to-vendor review, I can say Hai's work goes unnoticed. You can see how much planning there is through the coordination between him and his team to the footwork which is finally developed to the final production. "Wow, this is amazing" is all I can say when I see the results and I can say you'd think the same! If a vendor can notice the dedicated work from another vendor, what does that say about Hai? He's a professional who loves what he does. Someone who has a passion for their creative side is someone you should definitely consider. I highly recommend everyone to book Elise Films for your upcoming wedding, you won't regret it! read more

We had a small elopement ceremony and reception a few weeks ago and Elise Films did an amazing job capturing everything! Hai, our videographer was so great to work with and made us feel really comfortable, even though we were way out of our comfort zones being in front of the cameras. With his direction, we were able to let loose and just enjoy the moment. The finished product was really beautiful and is something we will cherish forever. I love that small details were included in the video and they really tied everything together so perfectly. Considering the times, I think it's absolutely necessary to have a videographer at your wedding. We're so glad that we can share our wedding with the rest of our friends and family who weren't able to physically be there with us on our special day. I 100% recommend them! Thank you Elise Films! :) read more

Where do I begin? Hai & his team were amazing! Hai is so talented in his vision and in what he does. I receive nothing but compliments when friends & family view my wedding film. He is professional and efficient. I have watched my wedding film at least 1000 times and I'm not even exaggerating! I'm so blessed to have such beautiful footage to show my children one day. I was also asked to be featured on my wedding dress designer's website due to my wedding pictures & film and I'm 100% sure it was because of the film Hai captured on that day. Thank you again Hai for everything! We appreciate you! Here is the blog link: https://www.enzoani.com/en/insider/enzoanirealbride-ivy-nguyen-tommy-thach-usa read more

Elise Films - Video/Film Production Near Me

Love love love Hai and his team!! They filmed my wedding last July and I could not be happier with the final product. Hai and his team were very professional, creative, and a pleasure to work with. We communicated a lot before the wedding to discuss about the theme and overall vibe for the video. Hai was able to accomplish exactly what I envisioned and more. I wanted an upbeat and fun video and that's what he delivered. My husband and I are so happy to have all our special moments of the day captured in such a beautiful way!

Elise Films - What a great team to work with! Love Elise films! - Video/Film Production Near Me

We were referred to Elise Films and Hai's team from friends who got married a few years back. We loved their video and remembered how on top of it the crew was in capturing moments at their wedding. Hai was extremely communicative with me and was super understanding throughout the entire pandemic. We ended up postponing not once, or twice, but three times between 2020-2022 and luckily we were able to find a wedding date this past March that could accommodate most of our original vendors, including Elise Films. On the big day, Hai and his team were on location earlier than my husband was to get detailed shots. I was even surprised to see them at the first look with my dad because that was just a last minute addition with the photographer-that gave me reassurance of how this team was going to go above and beyond for us. Everything was effortless, and it was fun hanging out with Hai and his crew throughout the day. We were all excited about our venue and all the fun/aesthetic locations that we could shoot at. There was even a hiccup on our way to an offsite location due to traffic and crowds but we were all on the same page to go with the flow (thanks Hai for running across the park to find us!). I appreciated the direction that Hai gave us (cuz not everyone is a professional model) and for making us feel comfortable! It really was the best day ever and I can't wait to relive all the big and small moments from our wedding day! If I could do it all over again, I would book Elise Films to document our big day without hesitation! read more

I used to work in the wedding industry, so I had high expectations for photography and videography. When my wedding planners introduced me to Hai's work, I was hooked immediately. But I was still doing research on my own, yet I still came back to Hai's videos. Hai was very kind. He was a true professional who listened and answered all of my questions, especially when I had a traditional wedding. I saw how hard his team worked, they went above and beyond not to miss any important shots. I loved his ring shots, and how artistic it was! The final products were absolutely beautiful. I was truly amazed! I was this awkward girl during the wedding, but he made me feel beautiful in the video. That's something I am thankful for...priceless as it is, I have made the right decision to choose Elise Films. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Much thanks, Ngan Huynh read more

For the past 25+ years, we have owned a company that provides Wedding Officiant, DJ, Emcee & Photo Booth services. We have worked with a lot of videographers in that time and let me tell you, Elise Films is one of the most dynamic teams that we have ever had the honor of working with! Recently, we were able to work together on a beautiful wedding celebration, locally in San Diego County. The weather didn't cooperate and the rain just kept pouring down, for the entire day! Regardless of the circumstances, the Elise Films team was quick on their feet, flexible and easy to work with, even with all of the last minute changes. Throughout the night, they were on point with capturing each and every special moment and they were so easy to work with! I was thoroughly impressed with the video that they shared from the beautiful celebration. The cinematography was on point. The transitions, audio, imagery, style, shot angles and details were flawless. I loved how they captured the emotions of the day I their video. Not only did they capture the bride and groom at their best, but the attendees of the celebration as well. I HIGHLY recommend Elise Films for your celebration.

Elise films, Hai is a game changer in producing wedding videos. Him and his team was personable and patient. His creativity in finding those miniscule moments during the special day is amazing. After the special and eventful day it's difficult to remember everything. But with the help of Hai, we can watch this video 50 years from now and relive those magical moments. The video quality was impressive and colors were so vivid I would argue it's 4k resolution. We loved every bit and are thankful we had Elise Films on our special day. Thank you Hai! read more

If I could give them 1 million stars, I would! From the very beginning, working with Hai was a great pleasure. He's professional, creative, and really just himself.

I have received many compliments on how perfect our highlights was and they wished they had gone with Elise Films. You seriously cannot go wrong with them. read more

Hai was recommended to us by our friend and we are so happy that we went with him. We did a low budget wedding but photography was something that we did not want to exclude. Hai was super responsive from the start, he set up a video call months before the wedding and really took his time to get to know us and our vision for the wedding. He was easy to work with and was willing to work us, not trying to upsell us but listening to us. We really enjoyed his professionalism and trusted him with the process. The day of the wedding, he was very easy to work with and helped guide us on throughout the way. It was truly a pleasure to finally work with a vendor that knew his craft, we only wished all my other vendors were like Hai! Hai was super attentive with capturing all the important moments of our special day and again, can't stress how much we enjoyed working with him. The photos came back and the pictures speak for themselves, we loved how he captured the moments for us. We will be highly recommending him to all our future friends! Don't hesitate and give Hai a chance! We are soo glad we did! read more

My husband Kevin & I got married on my birthday, 6/1/19. I discovered Hai from a mutual friend's wedding. Hai and David were very professional and easy to talk to. Communicating was easy because we connected on the phone calls and emails. Hai and his team did an exceptional job capturing every moment of our wedding day-- with the tears, smiles, laughter, and everything in between. Hai was very efficient to get the film to us within a few short weeks of the wedding. We are so grateful! Thank you again for your amazing work, we are so glad we went with Elise Films. We will definitely recommend to our friends and family. read more

Writing a review for Elise films is absolutely overwhelming and seemingly impossible. How does one even begin to write a review that can completely explain the out of this world experience that is Elise Films!? Elise Films work is impeccable!!! This was the best decision my husband and I made for our wedding. Everything about Elise Films exudes love, passion, kindness, and care. Hai is one of the most down-to-earth, feel good individual you will ever meet. Working with Hai and his assistant, Tristan, day of the wedding is like hanging with friends and sharing memorable experience and moments together. The memories of that very special day are artistically and perfectly memorialized in a video that we will always in love with. Our short film left us in awe and in happy tears. We were speechless on how amazing and spectacular the video turned out. Having Elise Films was one of the most valuable elements of our wedding day because we can relive one of the best days of our lives over and over again. Our wedding video could not have been more perfect. Everything, from the quality of the cameras, to the music and song choices, to the time lapse and emotional speeches, and the editing talent were superb. We loved it all and are so grateful for their wonderful and amazing work. Hai really took the time to know exactly what we wanted in every aspect of the film before and after the wedding. Thank you Hai and your crew....you did more for us than you can ever imagine. It was such a great pleasure to have met you and to have you be part of our wedding day. Thank you so much and we hope that one day we will have the great pleasure & opportunity to work with you again in the future. With Love & Respect, Phing & Vinny read more

The Short: Hai will work with you to provide you with exactly what you need at a fair and honest price. The Long: We hired Elise Films for our wedding and we could not be happier with the product and service provided. In terms of film style, Hai has preset packages that cater to almost any need. We e-mailed details back and forth a few times and then Hai also hopped a call with us a couple times to make sure everything was going to be done exactly the way we wanted. We had a lot of random things going on at our wedding and Hai was able to seamlessly capture the day for us. In all honestly, the day looks even better on film than it did in real life! haha, okay, maybe not, but you know what I mean. The footage was great and the turn around time was fast! read more

My husband and I got married recently and Elise Films captured such great memories for us and in such a cinematic manner. We were on the fence about getting a videographer for the day but it was one of the best decisions we made. The day got so busy and things went by so fast that it almost felt like a blur. But luckily we got to relive it and really got to soak it all in through the film we received. The teaser video we got was so tastefully done yet really captured the whirlwind of emotions from the day. They are also really easy to work with. Communication was easy and response time was quick. It's a huge plus when you have to work with so many other vendors. Our overall experience with them was great and we would highly recommend them! read more

This review is overdue and it is here finally!!! Where do we start with Hai? We were looking for a videographer, browsing around on facebook and instagram and found Hai. We emailed him and setup a initial meeting at a Starbucks. After discussing our options and showing us more of his work, we were very excited to move forward with him. A week before the wedding, Hai setup a phone call with us to go over the detailed timeline and our expectation for the wedding. After this call, we were very confident that he could deliver on what he promised, and we soon found out that he did. Later, on the wedding day, Hai and his assistant went beyond our expectations. He came early to fly the drone and obtained some beautiful aerial shots of our venue, even though we didn't pay for it! Thank you Hai and we truly appreciated your work!! We when later received the video, we were amazed by his talent. His short film was beautifully done, and captured all the high points and the essence of our wedding. We also received the long film, which covered our whole wedding from start to finish and really let us relive the experience! Overall, Hai is very easy to work with, and a man of his word. If you are looking for a wedding videographer, we highly recommend you get in touch with Hai and Elise Films. read more

Our wedding was back in August 2021 & even after many months have passed, we still feel the utmost gratitude for everything Hai/Elise Films did to help us capture our special day. From the beginning, Hai was very responsive and professional. When we spoke to him for the first time, we could tell he cared about the quality of his work and was so diligent in checking all the boxes in order to tell our best story. The communication & planning leading up to the event was reliable and smooth. We are shy people, but Hai really guided us and helped us throughout the event. We were actually very surprised by how well everything came together in our final film. It was simply better than we could've imagined. Hai did his work with a lot of vision, heart, and attention to detail, and many of our guests saw that at our wedding. We are still very impressed by the work Hai produced for us and feel fortunate to have him document our special day and create such a wonderful video for us. We can't say we would recommend all of our vendors, but we definitely highly recommend Elise Films. If you want a vendor you can trust to take care of you on your special day and give 200% to do their absolute best for you, Elise Films is the one! read more

I thought I knew what I wanted, but Hai told me to trust him and his creative abilities and I am so glad I did! My now husband and I both agreed that hiring Elise Films was the best decision we have ever made in regards to the wedding.

Elise Films - Proposal pictures - Video/Film Production Near Me

There aren't enough words to describe the incredible talent, creativity and artistry that Elise Films is able to create. To simply put it, Hai and his team created more than just a wedding video; they created pure magic and art that we will be able to cherish forever. Elise Films was one of the first vendors we knew we had to have. The whole process of booking was so seamless and Hai treated us like friends from the beginning and not just clients. From the initial phone consultation to the wedding day with their team, everything was absolutely stress free and fun! He and his team have this very calming presence about them and always made us feel so comfortable. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is no easy feat, however, Hai always made us feel at ease and we are truly so grateful to have a vendor who was always on our side. He was always so responsive, communicative and always had answers and suggestions to our questions. He and his team worked so well with our photographers and we are so happy with the finished product. We received our videos and our friends and family can't stop gushing about how great they turned out! The attention to detail, music, just everything was impeccable.

Hai and his crew were amazing! He came to do the videography for our wedding. They are very creative and sensitive to what you're looking for. I was not into having something that was so cheesy and I must've watched out highlight video a thousand times now! I was impressed with all the ninja like moves Hai did while trying to capture the perfect shot and moment. They really did an incredible job (and on such a hot day). They aren't afriad to get their hands dirty and really captured some moments that we really can cherish forever. Thank you for capturing those moments again! read more

Elise Films is NOT your standard videography company. They specialize in videography with an artistic spin. Very impressed with all of their cutting edge equipment... which helped in capturing videos in very creative/artistic angles and views. They're also not scared of getting "dirty"... laying on the floor, hiking flights of stairs, etc just for the perfect shot. My wife and I had the honor of having Elise Films at our wedding and they exceeded our expectations. They were able to capture all of the details of our weddings and since they were with us all day, they were able to capture many candid moments that ended up being priceless parts of our final wedding video. Loved working with Elise Films and would highly recommend them! read more

We had Elise Films as our videography for the wedding, my husband and I was very impressed with their professionalism. We communicated a lot before the wedding to discuss about the theme and what we expect. Hai and his team are very professional, creative and pleasant to work with. The outcome of the video was beyond our expectation. We feel it was unique without sharing similarities theme with others. Great job Hai and Giac. Big thumb up for your work. Can't say enough how we appreciate! Totally satisfied. I would highly recommend NTG/Elise Films to everyone. Keep up your good work. :) :) :) read more

Hai, Giac, and the Team is amazing! I just had them do photos and videography for my wedding past Labor Day and couldn't be happier. Hai is so creative and professional. I warned him that I am a difficult bride and was picky with video. He listened to what I want and really took an interest in my wedding. He worked with me with all of the video details and made me a beautiful same day edit that exceed my expectation! I highly recommend this talented team. read more

We received our IG teaser and can't stop watching it. Thank you for letting us relive the best day ever over and over again! read more

A good friend highly recommended Elise Films for our wedding. My husband recorded the moment he proposed to me and sent all the clips to Hai who secretly worked with him to prepare a surprise proposal video for me that was shown at our reception. Even though he was based in SD, he was kind enough to make the drive up to OC to work with my husband on the video. Hai's work was so phenomenal, it moved me to tears. He was such an amazing story teller and worked very hard the day of to put together our SDE video. It completely blew our guest away and made our wedding memorable. To this day, our guests are still raving about our videos. I have to admit, during the process prior to the wedding when discussing various ideas for our SDE, we came up with (in hindsight) TERRIBLE ideas in song choices or theme for the video. We are SOOOOOO glad he gave us his honest opinion in what he thought will work and what wouldn't work. The guy knew exactly what he's doing and I would trust him completely. He showed so much passion and dedication to his films, I would definitely recommend Elise Films for anyone. Here is the link to our SDE: https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=share&v=VlNzbnPW_Xs Here is the proposal video: http://youtu.be/QDbfg_Xz_mA read more

Hai and his team were absolutely incredible! The way our special day was captured so beautifully will always be with us to relive anytime we want. Hai was extremely thorough and my wife and I are so happy with our film. I will definitely recommend Elise Films to my friends, family and everyone else! Thank you read more
