Over the course of my career as a wedding photographer, I've worked with countless videographers and video companies, and Jesse Garrison and his team at Love Unique Studios are among the very best in the SF Bay Area. We first worked together in 2014 on a lavish three-day Indian wedding with a lot of moving parts. We immediately clicked: we both bring a cinematic aesthetic to our work, so our preferences in lighting matched up nicely. While our working styles aren't identical, I appreciate that Jesse respects the needs of other vendors and takes a collaborative approach. He communicates clearly about how he plans to set up and what he intends to do, and he'll adjust when needed (though I do my best to respect his needs too). Weddings aren't just about the photo or video -- they're about the client experience, and Jesse understands this. He's wildly creative without pulling focus from the couple's grounded experience. We bounce ideas off each other, and I like to think we both come away with shots we might not have gotten otherwise. Another quality I value in Jesse is his calm demeanor. His approach is deliberate and precise -- he knows exactly what he wants, which makes him incredibly efficient when setting up creative shots. And his love of film and cinematography always comes through in the final product. He somehow takes an already lovely wedding and cranks up the storytelling through his editing and style. If you need a creative videographer who's a team player and delivers a cinematic experience, Love Unique Studios is a great fit. read more

Wow -- this review is long overdue for Jesse and his amazing team! We had our wedding in April 2025, and I honestly can't thank Jesse enough for everything he did for us throughout this journey. After my fiancé's sweet proposal, it was time to plan -- and everyone always told me, "If there's one thing you shouldn't go cheap on, it's photography and videography." We wanted our wedding to feel like a movie, especially our Grand Entrance. I started researching and came across one of Jesse's wedding videos filmed at the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose. It was cinematic, creative, and completely unique. At that moment, I knew Jesse was the perfect person to bring our vision to life. From the very first conversation, Jesse was so easy to connect with -- professional, approachable, and honestly just a fun person to be around! He's got this cool, laid-back vibe (you'll know what I mean once you meet him). We trusted him completely -- even choosing to work with his recommended photographer. Jesse actually met us in Las Vegas to film our Grand Entrance video, and it was an absolute blast. It never felt awkward, and he made the entire experience fun and comfortable. In just a single day, he captured everything we needed. He was also super proactive, messaging us with creative ideas to make the video even better. One of his best ideas was to include our wedding party -- they loved being part of it! Here's the part that really stuck with me: About a week before the wedding, stress was getting to my fiancé and me. We'd never argued before, but we found ourselves not even talking because of all the last-minute planning pressure. Then Jesse told me the video was ready. We sat quietly together to watch it, not sure what to expect. Within the first few seconds, we were smiling and laughing -- and by the end, we were both so excited for the wedding again. That video reminded us why we were getting married and how much we love each other. I truly believe it saved us from letting stress overshadow this special time. Even now, whenever we feel overwhelmed, we watch Jesse's video to bring us back to that feeling. To sum it all up: Jesse and his photographer team were incredible from start to finish. Our final wedding video was everything we hoped for -- cinematic, emotional, and beautifully done. We've shared it with friends and family, and everyone loves it. Hiring Jesse was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. If you want a wedding video that's more than just a recording -- one that tells your love story and keeps reminding you why you chose each other -- work with Jesse. You won't regret it. read more

Jesse did an amazing job capturing our Sikh wedding ceremony! The highlight reel beautifully captured the emotions, picturesque background and the ceremony itself. I highly recommend Jesse and his team for capturing your big day. read more

Jesse was great to work with! He's very communicative and upfront with his pricing based on project. He was super easy to work with. I'm half Cambodian and wanted to honor my heritage and while I didn't know exactly what to expect to let Jesse know other than time frame, he was so flexible and does adjust well on the fly. It helped that he had some other cultural ceremony experience because I truly didn't know what to expect. He did a great job capturing our Tea Ceremony as well and our Wedding day. I truly appreciated the work he put in. I communicated a couple of things I found with our highlight video that I didn't really like and he was so kind and willing to adjust them and wow did he do it so quickly. I also felt like Jesse takes the information he receives and really brings out what is so special to our relationship and what makes us who we are together. read more

We hired Jesse for our wedding and he was amazing!! He jumped on a call with us right away to talk through what we wanted and to get to know us. His approach to creating wedding videos makes them so special and personalized, he asked for lots of information up front and did so much research with our parents & bridal parties. It was very comfortable working with him and the videos turned out so amazing. Extra points for kicking out a wedding crasher during the reception. Thank you so much Jesse! read more

Thank you so much to Jesse and his whole team for the incredible work they did at our wedding. The footage, and especially the highlight reel, were absolutely amazing & it was so meaningful to see parts of our wedding that we missed while we were running around. Jesse was warm, open, kind and very responsive throughout the entire process. We can't recommend Jesse enough! read more

Jesse was super helpful and experienced to be able to give us a touching video from both our Tea Ceremony day and wedding day. He listened to all the details we wanted. On the day of wedding he navigated perfect angles and coordinated with photography team so they could work together efficiently. He was able to get all the memories I found important from wedding and captured it so that we could have lifetime memories. He never was in way of photos and was able to have all that we wanted in video and more. He went above and beyond and grateful we choose him for our wedding. read more

We selected Love Unique Studios as our wedding videographer and I'm so happy we did! Jesse and his crew were amazing to work with, almost invisible, and very professional! It was really important to me to get some footage of my father and me, and Jesse made that happen! We are so grateful for Jesse's care and service! Can't wait to see the finished result! Will update this review soon! read more

Jesse was so great to work with at our wedding. He has such a great eye for detail. We really enjoyed watching back the video and have shared it with so many of our friends and family. It will be something we watch for years to come. He was constantly moving around getting the shots (but did such a great job at being a fly on the wall). We loved all the drone shots! It was a special treat to also get the footage of our toasts, first dance, etc. We would highly recommend Jesse! read more

Jesse was the absolute best videographer!! His attention to detail and game plan for getting the absolute best highlight video for our wedding was truly amazing. Our friends and family watched the video and said it looked like an ad for the finale of The Bachelor or something! He got all the memorable moments and incorporated our feedback when editing the videos. His drone work was also super cool! I highly recommend his service as it was well worth it and we will cherish these videos forever. read more

My (now) wife and I were looking for videographers with many examples of thoughtfully directed wedding videos and a deep personal touch. We stumbled upon their instagram @love_unique_studios and absolutely loved their work. Preparing for the wedding with them was fantastic and we felt completely at ease. We scheduled 2-3 zoom calls where we shared what we were looking for and examples of shots/scenes that we wanted for our video. We also connected them with our photographer and DJ and their collaboration together was seamless and smooth. During our wedding we were able to really be in the moment and trust that they would capture our most special day. We didn't even notice them except for the times when we were taking photographs with our family and bridal party. We received our full ceremony video ~3 weeks after the wedding and the rest of the videos (highlights, speeches, reception, etc) 2 weeks after that. If you're looking for a professional, empathetic, and masterfully talented crew, then we can't recommend them enough!! read more

From the moment we met Jesse, we knew we were in good hands. Not only did he go the extra mile, but he also offered an additional session because we weren't able to capture everything on our wedding day, showing his dedication to making our day perfect. His professionalism was top-notch, yet he managed to make us feel like old friends. He took the time to get to know us as a couple, and it reflected beautifully in the final video, capturing every emotion and memory from our weekend. If you want a videographer who feels like part of your journey and delivers beyond your wildest dreams, look no further. read more

I found Love Unique Studios through a thorough search online. After getting engaged, one of the things I let my then-fiance know is that we might want to have a videographer on our wedding day. It was our first time looking for a videographer of any kind and we had no idea where to begin. After more research and comparing companies, we went with Love Unique Studios and we are SO glad we did. The whole process was smooth, Jesse was easily accessible and responsive. We checked in with each other and he assured us that we are right on track. On our wedding day this past September, Jesse and his team worked flawlessly, gave us direction calmly and efficiently, and were easily approachable. They also worked well our photographers, which was a huge plus. The highlight video is beautiful as it captures all the important and memorable parts of the day. We are delighted we upgraded to a longer video. We also very much appreciate the videos in the Special Features and other videos, all are done exquisitely! Even though my husband and I have only been married for three months, seeing these videos now brings us back to that very special day, which we plan to do many times in the future. Thank you so much, Jesse and Love Unique Studios, for making this possible! read more

Jesse and his team truly made our wedding day absolutely magical. His team is so professional and they truly know all the shots they need to make the day be amazing on video. We are truly looking forward to seeing the finished product! Thanks so much Jesse and crew! read more

Jesse is talented beyond words. If you are looking for an average wedding videographer to capture some footage on your wedding day, you should look somewhere else because Jesse is anything but ordinary. Jesse brings an unbelievable level of artistry, sincerity in his storytelling, and production quality that I instantly noticed after researching a lot of videographers in the area. He was awesome to work with and our MINDS. WERE. BLOWN. when watched our wedding video and saw how he decided to tell our story. If you are on the fence with Love Unique Studios, jump to the side I ended up on. We considered some cheaper vendors, but you truly get what you pay for. End up with a wedding video that makes you feel something and just do it right. This is an A+ team that deserves to be paid what they're worth. I'll be a Jesse fan for life! read more

I got married in April 2023 and Jesse was the best vendor out of everyone we hired. Compared to the other vendors, that stressed me out especially close to the date, Jesse didn't ask for much and performed way above expectations. Every time I watch my video I end up in tears because it feels like I'm reliving my day. Honestly, I could not recommend him enough, he is absolutely great at what he does. He literally just goes with the flow and it feels like he's not even there. If you're thinking about hiring a videographer, DO IT and GO WITH JESSE, you'll love your video!! read more

This review is long overdue but Jesse and his team were incredibly great to work with! My husband and I met with Jesse months before our wedding to talk about our expectations, what his team could offer, etc. and he was more than happy to answer any and all questions we had. We found Love Unique Studios after searching for videographers that have shot weddings at our venue and we were blown away by his and his team's work. Fast forward to our wedding day, everything went so smoothly and even with unexpected change of plans, incredibly hot weather, etc. the team was calm, fun and professional. Two years later, we still watch our wedding video and the supplemental videos Jesse sent and love every minute of them. The way everything was captured really transports us back to our wedding day and we are thankful to have the footage to remember all of the details of our wedding day. Thank you, Jesse and team! read more

Company was looking for a videographer to tape a professional ceremony (not wedding). I found Shakewell on Yelp. Contacted Jesse and he gave a more than reasonable price. Jesse was prompt and professional and he showed up on time (a big plus with me!). The turnaround time for the video was also excellent. We got the finished product within five days after our professional ceremony. The quality of the video is excellent - almost movie like! We're very satisfied with Shakewell Studios! read more

Our film: http://www.shakewellstudios.com/2014/03/15/margaret-vincent/ The short of it Creativity and teamwork at its best. Stealthy film ninjas. Laughter, fun, and more laughter. Book them, hakuna matata! The long of it I never had the chance to meet with the Shakewell Studios' team in person before our wedding day. Jesse (the owner) and I mainly communicated via phone and email. From the start, Jesse was incredibly patient, understanding, and helpful. If I had any questions or ideas to run by him, he would respond within 24-48 hours with his answers, thoughts, or advice. When you get closer to your wedding date, it becomes harder to keep track of everyone (family, guests, vendors, etc.). With Shakewell, I never had to check in on them. We kept each other updated with any information we needed - and we did so in a timely manner. Everything went smoothly and their questionnaire is beyond helpful. I recommend going through it very carefully, because it helps you think, organize, and anticipate what your day will be like and what moments you want captured on film. We collaborated on ideas and it was great to feel like a part of Shakewell's team. Last Sunday was our wedding day and it was the best day of my and my husband's lives. When Shakewell arrived, we did the formal handshakes, "this is so and so," "nice to meet you," etc. Those formalities lasted about 1-2 minutes. After that, Shakewell immediately fit right into our group and it felt like we were surrounded by our close friends. From Shakewell Studios, we had Jesse, Ferguson, Mike, Church, and Libby. I remember the exact moment that I knew we had chosen the right film crew. My girls and I were getting ready in the downstairs suite and the boys were getting ready upstairs. Jesse, Ferguson, and Church were with me/running around outside, while Mike and Libby were upstairs. Suddenly, you heard a roar of laughter, coming from everyone above and below at the same time. The crew and our wedding party were running up and down the stairs, bursting into each other's rooms, laughing, chatting, and just having a great time. I knew that we were all having a blast with the Shakewell team. It definitely put me at ease and again, it felt like we were surrounded by our friends. Everyone pitched in to help out, move things around, and make creative shots come to life. At one point, I think one camera was filming some wedding shoes "dancing" next to me while another was filming my hair and makeup getting done - I hardly noticed, because I was chatting with Ferg about StarWars. When I think about Shakewell Studios and the first look, ceremony, and the reception, the words "stealth," and "teamwork" come to mind. Shakewell was beyond amazing, caring, considerate, calm, team oriented, well-orchestrated, and so many more awesome things. I never noticed the cameras, only the team who worked so hard to bring our special day to life. I would catch their eye from time to time and would receive a smile, a wink, a nod of encouragement (if I was on the verge of tears), and drive-by high fives. Our wedding party and I could not stop talking about how great Shakewell was and how much fun they were to spend the day with. At one point, I saw Mike and Church help hold the lighting for our photographer - that act of kindness and going above and beyond their job duties definitely touched my heart. You should book Shakewell Studios for your wedding, your love story, events and more if you are looking for cinematographers who: - Pride themselves on their creativity, artistry, and story telling - Will go the distance to get the shots you want and the ones you didn't even know you wanted - Squat and crawl on the floor to get a shot of your wedding dress train go by (thanks Jesse ;)) - Work incredibly well as a team and who makes you feel like a part of their team - Who believe in telling your story in a way that takes you back to those very special moments, a day that you can relive over and over again for the rest of your lives Thank you so, very much to Shakewell Studios' Jesse, Ferguson, Mike, Church, and Libby for being there to capture and celebrate our special day with us. And thank you to the Shakewell team members who may work behind the scenes on our film. We cannot wait to see what you come up with and look forward to watching our wedding film and sharing it with our family and friends. You are the best filmmakers we could have ever asked for - THANK YOU! read more

Jesse with Love Unique Studios did my sisters wedding six years ago and after watching her high light video, I knew I had to have him video my wedding whenever that day came. Well that day came and I have no regrets! As soon as my now husband proposed to me I booked with Love Unique Studios, that was 01/2020- at which point, my now husband said "why do we have to book Love Unique Studios so early" I replied "because they are that good and if I miss my change to book them, there will be no wedding" Yes- I pulled that card! Jesse's not only great at what he does, but he is very welcoming and friendly. It did not feel like we had just some guy at our wedding with a video camera. He was personable with not just myself and the groom, but all of our family and friends. Unfortunately the pandemic interfered with husbands family in England for making it to the wedding, but lucky for us, we had Jesse and Love Unique Studios to caption our wedding so we can share it with then. We got married on 11/05/2021 and had our video sooner than thought and have watched it over and over since receiving the video. Highly recommended and worth every penny!! Much love for you Jesse and Love Unique Studios!! Keep doing what you are doing, bringing happiness and long lasting moments to people. read more

Unfortunately, I made the mistake of not hiring a videographer for our wedding day, and I totally regretted it after all was said and done. Luckily, I found Jesse. I gave him very raw footage and some still shots from our wedding day and he turn them into a BEAUTIFUL wedding highlight video! Not only did Jesse complete the job in a day, but the final product totally exceeded my expectations. Now, my husband and I will have something to look back on every year on our anniversary, and remember our special day. read more

Jesse and his team shot our wedding on 10.10.20 and exceeded ALL our expectations. The video turned out amazing and he was willing to work with us on ironing out a few details to make it a timeless piece that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. His videos have the ability to tell your story and show your love in such a memorable way. He and his team were fun to work with on both sides of the wedding party and were able to seamlessly blend in to the atmosphere, without being overbearing and making us feel like we were pulled in different directions for the wedding. We were able to have our dream day and we now have a video that embodies what the day meant to us. We are extremely grateful for the work that they have done for us and will definitely recommend to all friends and families in the future. THANK YOU!! A really great overall experience!!! read more

Hiring Jesse was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. His direction and editing are absolutely first class, and I couldn't be happier with the final product that he delivered. He communicates well, seamlessly worked in tandem with my photographer (don't underestimate the value of this skill!), and was a total pleasure to work with throughout the entire wedding process. 10/10, I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

1.If you found Jesse on another website and said to yourself "Wow this is great work, I should check his yelps." STOP RIGHT THERE and email him ASAP. If your looking for a truly UNIQUE wedding videographer who will not only produce the most amazing footage of your special day but who will also make you feel like you've known him forever.... your searching should stop right now! 2.This review is quite literally one year delayed, seeing that today is my actual one year wedding anniversary. (Jesse please forgive me for the late response, you deserved this the very next day after we tied the knot) 3. Before we met Jesse we knew that we loved his work, I literally watched every single one of his videos (tissue box in hand) I even remember telling my fiancé before we met him that if he didn't have our date available we had to change venues. We were so lucky he had our date(s)open! 4. We had two weddings, a traditional Indian wedding and then two days later our vow ceremony. During our initial interview Jesse covered all bases for both dates and how we would make everything work, talk about easing our minds. My husband and I are pretty laid back and gave him full creative range, and WOW did he deliver. The intimate shots, the intricate transitions, the quality, how the music he chose paired perfectly with the scenes....... we were literally speechless. Jesse, not only was it was a pleasure to have you by our sides on our special days (and your team of course), but you gave us the gift of reliving the entire experience for the rest of our lives in the most artistic way. Thank you so very much. Veronica & Kris read more

I have had the pleasure of working with Jesse Garrison​ on a few occasions, and I have one word for this fine young man and artist. AH-MAZING!!!! One could not ask for a warmer, more professional, pleasant or an incredibly talented person. Not only is he super duper professional he's prompt and just a natural at what he does. His work speaks for itself and his brand and he's such a pleasure to deal with. I've worked with Jesse on a fancy first birthday party for a princess as well as a corporate event production where he helped me with postproduction on a moments notice. He really saved our bacon for our event and I can't express how grateful we are to him. Thank you once again Jesse for doing a phenomenal job and for creating such beautiful timeless pieces for our clients. We enjoy seeing you progress with your film making skills, and we wish you many more successful years ahead. Bravo! 5stars hands down!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED his films are definitely oscar worthy! read more

Jesse and his team were wonderful on our wedding day! We are so happy to have hired a videographer to beautifully capture all the important elements of our wedding day. We ended up getting the 9 minute video highlight because we didn't want to miss a moment. (It is hard to remember everything as the day goes so quickly!) We were also happy with how quick and responsive Jesse was during the entire process. The final product is an awesome video that captures the wonderful emotion of the day. My friends and family are floored by the great quality and artistic features of our wedding video. Thanks Jesse for making our special day even better!! read more

Jesse was the first videographer I met and the last. After reviewing his website and afforbable prices, my fiance (at the time, now hubby) and I decided to meet and see some videos in person. After our meeting, we decided to book Jesse and his crew and were no longer debating whether or not to have video of our wedding. Jesse was proffessional and did an amazing job! We're happy about the quality of the video and sound. We left it up to him to choose the DVD songs and we couldn't be happier. All of his hard work really shows. AND! He even drove to our house the day before Valentines to drop off our finished video! Super sweet. Can't thank you enough Jesse! read more

One of the best decisions I have made regarding my wedding, hiring Shakewell Studios to film my wedding day. I knew that I wanted the day to be captured uniquely, and that is what Jesse and his team did! After weeks of searching for the right videographer, I came across Shakewell Studios and visited their website. Upon watching their first video, I started to cry and instantly knew that I had to hire them! Jesse is amazing, he was very responsive with emails and took the time to come all the way to our home to meet with us to learn more about our story and to get to know us better. After telling him about how the engagement happened, he then immediately informed us of an idea that he had that he wanted to capture on film - after his idea, I wanted to cry! Just envisioning it in my head gave me the confidence that I had hired the right company to film our special day! I would hire Jesse and his team for any event that I may be planning, and I would recommend Shakewell Studios to anyone who is searching for the perfect videographer for their day! read more

Jesse's team shot my September wedding in SF and the result brings me tears of joy each time I watch it. High-quality footage, professional team. Took turns with my photographer shooting people and artifacts, which I appreciated. I recommend getting the full footage vs. just the highlight reel. I was really glad to capture every speech in full and with high-quality picture and sound (i.e. better than a guest's iPhone). It's your wedding, you don't get to do this twice, pay for it to be done right the first time. read more

Jesse and Randy of Shakewell Studios are videography geniuses! When they filmed my wedding in June they captured every important moment as well as tons of fun, quirky ones too. Their imagination is boundless. They came up with shots I never would have thought of! In addition they film in an unobtrusive way, while remaining 100% attentive to your desires. Most importantly, Jesse and Randy are great guys who run a professional, affordable, client-centered business. They filmed and created a video for my husband and I that we'll cherish forever. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Shakewell Studios!! Jesse and I were in correspondence about 9 months before my wedding day. Our wedding of 300+ was Memorial weekend May 28. Prior to the wedding, he took the time to meet with us and discuss our vision for the wedding ceremony and reception.. That meant a lot to me! The main reason we booked them was because they were professional, they did SDE (same day edit video), and overall reasonable cost. At the end of the reception it was a great surprise for myself and guests to watch a 3-5 minute video clip of our pre-wedding day prep all the way up to our vows. My family and friends enjoyed it! A few days later after the wedding, Jesse posted it on FB while we were on our honeymoon. We could not stop watching it over and over. We were thrilled!!! So creative, and great use of music transitions. He knew exactly how to capture our love through video! I was not sure about having two cameras at our ceremony at first because I didn't see the reason why it was important. I'm so glad we ended up with two because it gave us different angles of the wedding ceremony. Overall, Jesse is really easy going when it comes to what you want. Just make sure to communicate via email and things will go smooth. Another plus is we received our video 2 months after the wedding!! I can't wait to show my future kids!! =) read more

It seems like the second you get engaged, everyone wants to give you advice, and it's often contradictory advice. But the one thing we kept hearing over and over from married couples was that the best money they spent on their wedding was on a videographer. Now, only moments after seeing our highlight film for the first time, I'm so glad to say they were all right. Everyone says your wedding day is a blur because it's true. Pictures are amazing, but having a video with the vows we spoke to each other, and the words of our friends and family, is something we will cherish and get to relive for years to come because of Jesse and his team. There are so many things to spend your money on when you get married, and I am SO glad we prioritized a video over things like over-the-top flowers and programs that no one remembers or notices. The moments Jesse and his team captured, the music they picked for the video, the editing, and the overall quality--it's all flawless. Jesse and his team are true pros and they produce beautiful work you'll want to watch over and over and share with those who could not be there to witness the day in person. I cannot wait to show this to our grandparents who weren't able to make it--I know it will mean the world to them! Bottom line, out of all of the decisions you have to make while planning a wedding, this one should be incredibly simple. Book Shakewell Studios asap--you will not regret it! read more

Love Unique Studios - Picture from our wedding that Jesse's team captured. - Videographers Near Me

I Googled bay area wedding videography and found Shakewell studios online. Made an appt. and met with Jesse. He is super friendly. He showed us many samples of his past work. I love'em all. I've seen many samples from other videographers and it's kind of shaky at times. That is one major thing I didn't want for my own video. Jesse's videos were still and captured all the right moments. We received our wedding video and highlight video a few weeks ago and can't believe how clear and still our video was. He picked all the songs for our video and it went perfectly with our video. I swear... I watched our highlight video 50 plus times now and still get emotional each time reliving our special day. He captured and used all the right moments for our video. THANKS JESSE!!! 10 STARS!!!!! read more

All the smiles, tears, laughs, words, dance moves would have been blurry memories if it wasn't for that last minute decision we made: to hire Shakewell Studios. Why Shakewell? - They are super creative! You will get more than the "pose, kiss, look at each other, entrance, "I do", first dance, cake cut" video. You will get a MASTERPIECE! - If you don't know the music you want, they will come up with a playlist you will want to listen to over and over again. -I would not believe they were at our wedding if it was not for the video. -They know email etiquette and they are very prompt in their responses. -They go way beyond expectations to create a unique video that reflects who you are. -They have many options to offer but ,if you can, get the cinematographic and you will have a movie than could win (at least) one Oscar. -They are NOT a mass production studio. They take their time to make sure every single thing is PERFECT and at the end... it is! -You will watch your video so many times you will start thinking you are narcissistic. -If you think what you are getting is *only* a video masterpiece, you will be surprised when you get your DVD on your mail - to die for! -The final result is so awesome you will spend many hours thinking about another excuse to hire them... I haven't given up! Thank you! Jesse and Randy :You guys ROCK! read more

Thank you Jesse, Randy and Mike for capturing our wedding day perfectly. I knew I wanted the Same Day Edit from the get go, and your team blew our mind at the reception with how much content you captured. The music selected with the footage was spot-on and we're so glad we put our trust in Shakewell. Our guests gushed over the video you played for us and it really helped that the projector and screen were both provided and set up without any help needed. I wanted to also call out the excellent and professional service Jesse provided when I first started my research process. He answered all my questions without hesitation and was incredibly patient and informative in his responses. Jesse also offered a very competitive package and the options provided were easy for any bride to customize and add-on. I decided to go with the Elite Series with SDE included. Overall, we're incredibly thankful for having the Shakewell crew at our wedding. They made us feel comfortable and relaxed the entire day. Most importantly our entire bridal party had a ton of fun shooting with them. With a team of three, they were surprisingly quick on their feet and worked magically side by side with our photographers. This was clearly one of the very best decisions we made for our wedding!! :) read more

AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING to sum it up but I'll start from the top for you :) In planning our wedding, we considered omitting video as a way to save the budget but after many of our friends and family mentioned regret that they didn't video their own we decided to go for it!! We found Jesse at Shakewell Studios and their films were amazing!!! If we were going to pay for video, we were going to pay for the best :) No sense in skimping on the one thing that will allow us to re-live our wedding day over and over. Jesse's team filmed our wedding day and they were great! So friendly, professional and even though we had three on the video team as well as two photographers following us around we hardly even noticed they were there. Perfect. We just got our edited video back and I can't even express how perfectly they capture the day in a 9 minute edit!! OMG we have been watching it on repeat for the last few days and every time we get tears in our eyes! My husband especially ;) The film is edited and filmed so perfectly it could be a movie!!! LOVE the way it came out!! Hands down it was worth every penny. His style of weaving the speeches with the vows and clips of the whole event are so well done. All of our friends and family are so impressed with their work. I especially love the sunset shots they got of my husband and I :) Here is a link to our wedding film: http://www.shakewellstudios.com/2014/01/08/ Bravo to the Shakewell Studios team! You are worth every penny and more :) read more

We had Jesse film our wedding in October. The great thing about him is he is very responsive via email, which was very convenient for the working bride. He showed up on time and was very unobtrusive during the ceremony and reception, but he got some amazing shots. read more

Jesse is such a talent, and a true professional. Definitely emphasizes quality, but also has a relaxed, laid back, and flexible demeanor that makes him a pleasure to work with. He and his assistant, Mike, were totally on their A game during our wedding on Saturday. He was timely, worked well with our photographer (they hadn't worked together before), and was constantly looking for good shots and good videography opportunities, while also remaining out of the way. Pricing was reasonable, and he was amenable to our many inquiries earlier on in the signing process as we had lots of concerns about our contract, which he addressed without much hassle. I would totally recommend them for East Bay/ Berkeley area weddings! read more

We booked Jesse as our wedding videographer and he was wonderful! He was very communicative, professional, and produced a great video we will cherish. He was able to capture all of the special moments of our wedding. I highly recommend Jesse to anyone in the Bay Area looking for a wedding videographer! read more

Thanks to Yelp we found Jesse and Shakewell Studios. To be honest, I was one of those people who thought "Yea, we don't need videography. It's so cheesy!" However, my husband and I looked into it, and after Yelp led us to Shakewell Studios' website, I fell in love with their films! I immediately told my husband we needed to find money in our budget! Since my husband and I were both living in two different cities planning a wedding in another city, we did a lot of our wedding planning through three way calling. Jesse was great and patient with us as we experienced phone difficulties. After our conversation, we definitely knew we wanted him for our special day. On the day of the wedding, the whole crew couldn't have been more professional and friendly! They made everyone feel at ease which was a big relief for me because I thought I would feel awkward with a camera following me around all day. We loved our wedding film, and our whole family could not get over the quality! My mom said "This isn't a video, it's a movie!" Plus, Jesse and his team have such a great eye when it comes to creative shots. I love how he mixes the perfect scenes with the music! I couldn't be more happy with picking Shakewell Studios for our wedding! Working with them was such a breeze! As a bride, it was comforting to put our complete trust in them because you can tell they know what their doing. You're going to be stressed out on your wedding day, so do yourself a favor and book them; it'll be one less thing to worry about on the big day! read more
