There is no better wedding investment than a video done by Lovebug Media! Alan and his team are the best of the best - they are kind, creative, and absolute incredible storytellers and collaborators. My husband and I cherish our wedding video, and we are so thankful we hired Alan Larsen. It is such a joy to be able to now share it with our children. 10 out of 10!!! read more

Lovebug Media is THEE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! If I could give them 10 stars I would. It's a coincidence that mine and my husband's nicknames are the lovebugs. And no, we didn't choose them for their name; we chose them for their quality and production. After researching different videographers and watching many wedding videos, we chose Lovebug Media for its style of work. Alan and his dream team truly have an eye for capturing memories and putting them together in an amazing video! Erika was so nice and easy to work with from the beginning to the end. She was very responsive and made our decision very easy. On the day of our wedding, Alan and Andy were so seamless during their filming. They both tag-teamed and made sure to capture all the special moments, the little details, and any surprises thrown their way. As a bride, there are so many things going on the day of, the videos are one less thing to worry about when you go with Lovebug Media; THEY GOT YOU COVERED! Trust me! Thank you so much, Alan, Andy, and Erika!!! WE LOVE OUR HIGHLIGHT AND CEREMONY VIDEO!!! Every time we watch it we get to relive that day as if it were yesterday. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out! - The Lovebugs read more

There aren't enough amazing things I can say about Alan Larsen and his team. I was searching for a videographer a few months before our wedding and like any couple, my husband and I wanted to stay within our budget without compromising quality. I came across Alan Larsen Films on Yelp and immediately noticed their glowing reviews. I watched a few of their videos, reached out via email, and was able to book them for our big day. A few weeks before our wedding, we had a Skype meeting with him and Leah (their production coordinator), laid out our schedule and bounced around some video ideas as well. It was a great way to meet them face-to-face and to also get a sense of what to expect for our video. On our wedding day, Alan and his second shooter, Andrew, arrived promptly and got to work right away. The day-of can be very chaotic, but they captured our wedding like ninjas! Seriously -- they blended into the background and just worked their magic. We received our highlight video yesterday and we are absolutely blown away. We've watched it over and over and honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better way to capture the best day of our lives. The way he weaves the music with the wedding highlights is truly phenomenal. We are over the moon with our decision to go with Alan and his team. Worth EVERY penny! We can't wait to relive our wedding day through our beautifully crafted video. I highly recommend choosing Alan Larsen Films to capture your wedding day. You will not be disappointed! read more

Where do I start???? ALF did NOT disappoint!! From our very first email, Jess was super friendly and so helpful. She answered all my questions courteously and professionally. Fast forward to our meeting with Alan and Jess a few weeks before our wedding. They made us feel really comfortable and were really helpful. On our wedding day Alan and his team arrived on time. They were like ninjas we didn't notice they were there. As bride, I really appreciate how they didn't place any extra stress or burden on us. We received our videos at lightening speed!! We absolutely love our highlight and ceremony videos. They're done so creatively and everything flows really well. We are really happy we chose Alan Larsen Films to capture the most important day of our lives. Book them!! Thank you so much ALF!! read more

Alan and his team could not have done any better. They captured everything we wanted and this video will be something we will have forever. Im so glad we didnt cut corners and got a true professional with Alan. The day was such a blur for my wife and I and this allows us to see everything that was missed and remember some of the most special parts of the day. I will recommend Alan to every single person I know about to get married. You can see his talent in our video below https://vimeo.com/351505784/985194b0f4?fbclid=IwAR1vlnTfexTcfc02dNn6Aub1aiwBuQz_C0jhVu4gz518hZmWw9iD5BpVl-s read more

One of the best full-service video companies I have had the pleasure to work with. An extremely good value, although I fear that won't be for long- because Alan has been taking calls from bigger and bigger clients and film work and his resume is already pretty amazing (Tenacious D, USC film school, etc.) Two things things stand out about Alan for me: 1) his professionalism (he's on time, his equipment is top-flight and up to the job, he edits with his head not his watch, and the stuff looks GOOD) http://alanlarsenfilms.com . 2) Alan's personality. You might never be able to find a person who is more easy to get along with or more committed to your success. I hope he is available for you read more

See all

Alan Larsen Films was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. We had a videographer flake 2 weeks before the wedding so our wedding coordinator HIGHLY recommended Alan Larsen. We were lucky enough to find out they were available for our day (meant to be). The process leading up to the big day was easy and stress-free. They respond within hours and are happy to address any questions. The day of was flawless. Our wedding party keeps talking about how awesome the crew is! They made everything fun and really felt like part of our wedding! Alan captured the energy of our wedding perfectly and even recommended music he felt went with our video! Oh and we received our video within a week and got to watch it while on our honeymoon!! Like I said, one of the best decisions we made was to use Alan Larsen Films as our videographer! read more

Super responsive, very professional, great to work with, and topnotch videos. Alan and his team blew away all of our expectations! We were hesitant about getting a videographer at first, but after going through the day with Alan and Drew, and seeing our highlight reel, we're so glad that we went with Alan Larsen films specifically. They really captured all of the emotions and happiness we felt throughout the day and made it feel special and unique to us. We loved how well they worked with our photographer during the shoots. They completed our highlight reel 4 days after the wedding. 4 DAYS! We expected it weeks later and were shocked by how great the video was after such a short amount of time. The quality of the video was crystal clear and the sound was AMAZING! There was a bunch of brats on a playground screaming during our ceremony and even a helicopter flew overhead but they were able to edit out all of it and none of it could be heard. If you go with Alan Larsen Films then you won't be disappointed. read more

Loved working with Alan and his team. The video turned out amazing! I am so pleased with everything - from start to finish. They are truly a hardworking group of people who will make sure you get the wedding video you want for your special day. read more

I can't even tell you how happy I am that we decided to pick Alan to film one of the most important days of our lives, our wedding. Alan and Nick were really easy going and a pleasure to work with. They made our day stress free and in all honesty, many times during our wedding day... I forgot they were there. The cameras were not all up in your face. We were still able to feel comfortable to share intimate moments together and still enjoy the presence of our guest. Fast forward to the final product and we love the masterpieces. They made it seamless and caught all the important moments. The visual and sound quality is top notch. In a nutshell this is why you should book Alan Larsen Films: 1. He can work with your budget. He has different packages to suit your needs. 2. Professional. Alan was very prompt and ready for our big day. He also gave us the videos within a month. 3. I felt very comfortable around him. He's welcoming and warm. 4. His work is top quality. Check out his videos and I dare you to compare. Book Alan, you won't be disappointed. Thanks yelp and yelpers for the recommendation, I wouldn't have found Alan without your service and reviews. THANKS ALAN! read more

We were on the fence about having a videographer because we really didn't want a big bulky video camera (or two) intruding on the intimacy of our day, so it ended up being the decision that involved the most research. Strangely, we couldn't find someone talented, affordable and nice. When we asked one videographer if we could choose our own background music, he said no, and when we told him that we'd like some say in the music he chose, he suggested that we go with someone else. We had almost given up on videography. But then we found Alan, who is exceptionally talented and professional, as well as incredibly nice. He and his assistant used the Canon 5D, which looks like a regular camera, not a video camera, so nobody even knew they were filming (this made a big difference). He got beautiful shots throughout the day/night and really put his heart into the editing. Everyone who has seen our highlights video is amazed by the beauty of his storytelling, as well as by the high production quality of the film, including perfect audio. We have gotten pages worth of positive feedback about it from our guests. Also, the vimeo post got 400 views in about a week even though we only had 140 people at our wedding: We are so glad we decided to hire a videographer and so so so so so glad that that videographer was Alan. We can't recommend him highly enough. We have a complete list of vendors we loved on our wedding site http://wedding.michelleandben.com/vendors read more

I don't know where to start on my list of AMAZING things to say about Alan Larsen Films!! I stumbled across ALF while looking for someone to film my Kickstarter video. Leah was responsive, helpful, and so kind from Day 1. She called me to chat and asked all the right questions to catch my vision. I knew after our first call that Alan and Leah were the right team for my business. As we planned the video over the next couple weeks, Alan and Leah were incredible. They were flexible and always open to my ideas for the video. I probably sent countless emails trying to describe the "vibe" I wanted, and despite my crazy requests, they managed to get it exactly perfect! When the day came to film our video, I couldn't possibly have been happier with Alan and Leah! They were patient, funny, kind, professional, and laughed at all my jokes (big win). They made the whole day so enjoyable, and I knew the whole time that the video was going to be amazing. And it is :) i don't know how they did it - they are geniuses. I'm not exaggerating when I say that choosing ALF was one of the best business decisions I've made. I can't wait to visit LA so I can grab lunch with Alan and Leah because they are amazing, talented people. I'm SO grateful I found them!! read more

Words cannot adequately describe the amazing experience we shared or the gratitude we feel for Alan Larsen and his team, but we will try! Cinematography was at the top of our list, and leading up to our wedding, we spent about an hour every night for about 2 months reviewing cinematographers in and out of our state. I had come across Alan's work and was SHOCKED when a video of complete strangers had me in tears within minutes. His ability to capture a love story in such a brilliant, artistic, and creative way put an end to our crazy internet search and solidified that he was the ONE we wanted to share our special day with. Out of all the vendors we worked with, we are most impressed with his team's responsiveness and attention to detail. Leah C., his coordinator, was easy to access via phone/text/e-mail, and she quickly answered our questions and concerns during the process. She made the experience EASY, a big bonus for brides :) About 6 weeks to my wedding date, I had an opportunity to sit down with Alan, and it was incredible how comfortable he made me feel. He was beyond helpful and provided me with recommendations on lighting, ceremony positioning and much more. On the day of our wedding, Alan and his assistant Chelsea felt like a part of the family. They were so fun, kind, and respectful--all qualities we love! If the wedding film wasn't our #1 need, we would have pulled a chair and table for them to join us as our guests. They are wonderful people to have around you on your big day. A little more about the talented Alan Larsen--he exceeded our expectations during and after our wedding day. He stepped in when our wedding coordinator went missing, and he helped organize our guests for our bubble send off. We received our film while on our honeymoon, and we were blown away by the quality and detail that he put into it. We received so many messages and phone calls from vendors, families, and friends raving about how beautifully done the video was. I could go on and on listing off all the reasons why you should hire Alan Larsen for your big day, but the product speaks for itself. You need to check out his website and enjoy all of his amazing films; I am confident that you will be impressed. If you're on the fence about getting a cinematographer, I recommend that you go for it. It's one of the only things at your wedding that you will be able to cherish forever. The favors will go, the flowers will wilt, the dress will likely sit in a box in your closet, but Alan Larsen's wedding film will allow you to relive one of the best days of your life over and over again. I highly recommend that you look no further and book him today! read more

I hunted for my wedding videographer... I hunted through many, many, MANY videos of people who got married that I didn't know. I went through so many videos, I went from "awww they're so adorable" to "OMG WHY ARE THE SAME 3 SONGS IN EVERY VIDEO?! I JUST DON'T CARE ANYMORE!" I went through good videographers that charge WAY too much money, and bad videographers who still charge way too much money... I went through arrogant videographers who didn't want to speak to me, to forgetful (possibly newer) videographers... And then there was Alan Larsen Films... Alan and his team are AMAZING. Seriously. I didn't even know they were there most of the time, and when they were there, they were hilariously funny and knew exactly what to do to distract me from the camera lens in my face. They were responsive when I emailed them with questions and great at giving gentle reminders when I had 309475938 things on my mind and forgot about something for them. And their videos... they're incredible. OH, AND HE GOT ALL OF OUR VIDEOS BACK TO US 3 WEEKS AFTER THE WEDDING. Frigging incredible. Well worth the money. Trust me. Trust me trust me trust me. Alan Larsen Films was the best choice. I know. I probably watched 400 wedding videos to get to Alan Larsen. They rock. Choose them. You won't regret it. read more

Sometime last year, I found myself (again) diligently scouring the internet researching different works of videographers trying to figure out how this all worked and feeling pretty overwhelmed by the endless choices. Then I stumbled across Style Me Pretty and saw a beautiful wedding and decided to watch the attached video by Alan Larsen Films. I didn't know this couple at all but by the end of it I was in tears and I remembered feeling genuine happiness for them. Alan has a great eye for capturing seemingly minor and potentially forgetful moments in time and forever immortalizing its beauty on film. He composes moments together into an intimate narrative that inevitably draws viewers in and welcomes you into the story. This is what I wanted for my wedding and I didn't have to look any further. Alan and his team were a pleasure to work with. Everyone was very professional, easy to talk to and (thank goodness) had a good sense of humor. Questions were always answered promptly via phone, emails and/or texts and yes, from prior reviews I definitely agree with the fact that Alan and his team has EXCELLENT audio which I think does make a difference. I may be rightfully biased but I thought our wedding video was stunning. One of my favorite parts was how Alan interweaved my father's heartfelt toast to our expressions as my father walked me down the aisle. My father was a navy refugee who came to America after Saigon fell and worked hard to provide for my younger brother and me as a single parent. Needless to say, my wedding day was a very special and proud day for my father. Alan (who didn't know any of this background history) was able to not only capture these moments beautifully but integrated it in such a way that exponentially conveyed how emotional and momentous this occasion was thereby augmenting our wedding love story. I'm sure there are many videographers out there who can film weddings and make things look pretty but I think Alan is more of an artist who can tell a story that allows people, even strangers, to connect on a deeper level. Highly recommended. :) read more

Simply amazing...probably the best way to sum up our experience with Alan Larsen films. Having just gone through the wedding process, we know that 5-star gushing reviews tend to lose some credibility, but we can't contain our enthusiasm. We highlight the most important things below and would highly recommend Alan Larsen Films. Video: Out of this world. Not only did he capture the right moments and people, but he managed to condense them all into a 20 minute video (mind you we had a 3-day, multi-event Indian wedding). Best of all, Alan preserved the emotion and sentiment that my wife and I will want to re-live every time we watch the video. Our family and friends have all said that our wedding video was the best they've ever seen, and we would agree. FYI Alan offers two styles, a standard video and a more film-like video. We wanted something that made us feel like we were in a movie, and Alan totally delivered. We are SO HAPPY with the final product but you can judge for yourself (link is below) Turnaround: Everything was done within a month of the wedding which was much faster than what we were expecting. Throughout the entire editing process, Alan was very responsive and quickly made changes we requested (even the really annoying ones) Pricing: Very reasonable. We researched a ton of videographers and Alan was the best value for the quality and after receiving our final product we wholeheartedly believe you will get WAY more than you pay for. Crew: Professional, prompt and really fun and easy to work with. We are self-admittedly a picky, high-maintenance couple and the team was very patient, responsive and understanding. http://vimeo.com/27599385 read more

Simply amazing. Their videos are top notch and the highlights video is a great way to remember our wedding day by. Their customer service was also amazing. Worked with us to get exactly what we wanted. read more

My husband didn't understand why I wanted a videographer at first, but once we got back our highlight video from Lovebug Media we both knew we made the right choice. The first time we watched the video, it brought both of us to tears. It was so well put together and took us back to our wedding day. The videos captured us perfectly as a couple and the day as a whole. Erika, Marco and Alan all worked so hard to make sure the day went smoothly and that they were there to capture all the events going on. We had so many different things I wanted to have captured, as well as a few surprises, like a fake first look with the best man in a wedding dress and a belly dancer during our reception that they helped me plan into the schedule and kept it a secret from my husband. I can't say enough good things about them! If I ever have another big life event, I will be hiring them in a heartbeat. They are simply the best! read more

My husband and I are so pleased with everything that Alan and his team did for us. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is not easy, but thankfully everything went seamless with Lovebug Media. Erika was very professional and accommodating. Alan did an amazing job with our highlight video and was able to capture our day perfectly. We couldn't be happier and cannot recommend them enough. read more

We went with Alan Larsen Films for our wedding and we couldn't have been happier. Alan and his team was great to work with and the final product in our highlight video was amazing. The way Alan made our video, and the way he incorporated the music that we chose is amazing. The transitions from music, to the speeches that were made, and then back into the music was flawless. A lot of other videographers that we reviewed did not met our standards when it came to the audio, but immediately we noticed Alan's work met our expectations. He also brought a 2nd shooter (Nick), and that guy was also super fun to work with, which made a made our day that much better. Highly recommended! read more

We can't stop raving about Alan Larsen & his team at Lovebug Media! They were our favorite vendors of our wedding and we were so blessed to have worked with them! Alan and his team are organized, efficient and put us at ease. I loved Alan's positive and down to earth energy. He is a true artist and truly captured our day and our story very intuitively. Initially, we interviewed a good number of videographers and were concerned that we had too many people at our wedding (close to 500 total) to have a videographer capture everything we were hoping for. Alan brought on a few members to make our day truly special and capture every moment beautifully. His assistant Erika & Jess were so kind, helpful and organized on the backend and on the day of as well. My favorite thing about Alan is he knew what to capture and how to capture it without too much guidance or concern from him. We trusted him and he definitely came through and I could not be happier that we chose him to be our videographer. Additionally, they finished working on the highlight videos so quickly they were in our inbox before we came back from our honeymoon without compromising the quality or integrity of the videos at all! I even asked for a few minor changes with music and to add a few moments in the highlight and they did it quickly and easily without any hesitation. Thank you again for the amazing work you did and we could not be happier we chose you to capture our special day (I watch our highlight reel so often and it still brings me so much joy and tears to my eyes every time :) Go with Lovebug Media for your videos, you won't regret it!! read more

In response to their response -- the shots just were not there. The highlight reel is hard to watch because the shots just AREN'T there. Makes me sad but thanks for trying. Worked with this group in October. We had a small budget for videography and they offered to work with us after we had admired their website. They did so, however, by cutting corners and by not considering any of my requests. I was disappointed when the shooter didn't return my email to discuss the shoot- but Drew assured me he always takes care of prep meetings and relays the conversation and requests to the shooter. Not so. The footage we got was from a stationary camera positioned behind the crowd's heads. No one is captured until they ARRIVE at the altar. The shooter didn't MOVE with the camera to capture what could have and should have been some of the most special moments of the day. I specifically requested that we be captured coming down the aisle- in a wide shot- not a medium shot and the result is that we literally walk into frame at the very last minute. There is no footage of me walking down the aisle whatsoever. Nor is there any footage of my fiancé (now husband) at the first look because the stationary camera was on me- and so was the shooter! We don't have anything of his reaction from the first look! Extremely disappointed that they stood by this work and didn't remember the conversation we had about angles & shots. If you can't turn out a great product and have it reflect your talents that are demonstrated on your website- please don't try to do favors. We weren't looking for a mediocre video. We could have gotten that at half the cost. read more

Alan shot and edited of a standup comedy showcase I was in at the Ha-Ha Comedy Club in North Hollywood. The quality is excellent and his editing is top-notch (it's especially difficult to do with comedy too!). The sound is great too (you hear every laugh!). The comedy video he put together has been (and will continue to be) a great promotional tool. Alan one of the best in the business. Hardworking and dependable. I highly recommend Alan Larsen Films for any and all video shooting, editing, and directing need. read more

Working with Alan was simply amazing. Choosing a videographer was really high on or list. We did a ton of looking around and I mean a ton! We came across Alan's work and we're immediately drawn to his work. We reached out to him and set up a time to meet. Alan was great,very professional, and answered all of our questions and then some. During the wedding Alan and his team blended right in, in fact we didn't even notice he was there half the time. It was kinda of scary after we thought about it but have have no fear! Alan and his team are there capturing every moment! In retrospect, there is so much going on that day, it was really great not to have to worry about him and his team. After the wedding we were excited to see the video and Alan did not disappoint! We cannot stop watching our video and we cannot wait to show it to our family and friends. Alan has an amazing eye and his story telling is a true work of art. The way he weaved our story together and incorporated the songs and speeches is simply amazing and we could not be happier. He is a true gem and we would recommend him to any couple tying the knot! And believe me when I say...After it's all said and done, when you look back, you will not regret having one of the best story teller's on your team on your big day! Cheers! read more

If you need a videographer for your wedding or any special event Alan Larsen Films is the way to go. My husband and I were originally not going to have a videographer for our wedding because we didn't want anyone in our faces as we were trying to enjoy our wedding day. We are used to going to weddings and seeing annoying vidographers but Alan and his crew are absolutely amazing and are the complete opposite. They are like flies on a wall and are so polite and kind. Everyone was telling us that we were going to regret not getting a videographer so we changed our minds last minute and we are so glad we did. Our wedding planner recommended Alan Larsen Films and we booked them a few days before the wedding. Because we were pressed for time we did a quick video chat and Alan and Drew got to know us and what we wanted before the wedding. On the day of the wedding, Alan and Andrew were so accommodating. We had a hotel suite full of girls getting ready and they were completely out of the way and knew what to do and when to do it. They also worked really well with our photographer and followed them closely to get all the footage for the highlight video. They did such a phenomenal job capturing important moments for us and we were so happy to be able to re-live them again. Also really important their work turn around is super fast. We got married in the middle of October and got our highlight video exactly 1 month after and we were able to make changes after seeing our video to get exactly what we wanted. We have already shown the video to a few friends and family and they are just amazed on how beautiful it is and the quality of the work. I am a huge Disney fan and all my friends thought the highlight video had the Disney charm and reminded them of a sweet Disney movie. We are so thankful to have had the chance to work with such great people and we are very happy with how the highlight video turned out. They are truly the best! read more

Alan is amazing. You won't be disappointed. When we first started planning our wedding, I was on the fence about whether I even wanted to hire a videographer, but my husband really wanted video of the ceremony to show to our future kids so we started looking into videographers via wedding blogs and bridal shows. But we were underwhelmed by their videos. Considering that we live in Southern California, movie capital of the world, you'd think there would be more high-end wedding videographers available. There are lots of good shooters out there, but surprisingly the end result was a mediocre-looking, disjointed video that sounded awful. It turns out audio accounts for about 50% of your viewing enjoyment and nothing ruins a stroll down memory lane like crappy audio. So we started asking ourselves why we should pay money for a crappy video when we could get an only slightly worse end product by asking a friend to just hold a camera during the ceremony. Then we found Alan and hiring him was the best decision ever. Not only did he shoot great video and capture all the important moments from our wedding, but he really cared about making our video sound great. The finished product is amazing. It looks and sounds awesome and it beautifully tells the story of our day. On top of that, Alan is professional, punctual, and easy going. If you're on the fence about hiring a videographer for your wedding, you won't be after watching one of the videos on Alan's website. The quality of his work is truly leagues beyond other wedding videographers and his priced are competitive. We absolutely love our wedding videos and our families do too. read more

Alan just completed our destination wedding video, which was shot in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. It was an Indian-American wedding, which was certainly more complicated than a traditional wedding. He did an absolutely amazing job of capturing not only the wedding festivities, but also all the other various events and activities we had during the week all of our guests were there. The editing of the video was also incredible. He did a perfect job. It was touching, beautiful, artistic, and exactly what we wanted! Everyone who has seen the video has said it's the best wedding video they have ever seen. We love it!! Alan is also extremely professional, friendly, and easy to work with... I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks Alan! Here is the link: http://vimeo.com/23898966 read more

Hiring Lovebug was one of the best decisions we made. If you are on the fence of whether to hire a video team - DO IT. Photos are important, but so much happens on your wedding day that you do not really get to immerse in the experience. If you're unsure of who to hire, Alan and his team are absolutely the best. I was so grateful that I had all the footage from our special day. Working with Alan and his team was so easy - they know exactly what they are doing and capture every important moment. They will consult with you if you have a specific direction you want to go, but I really didn't need to do that with them. They knew what we were looking for, what was important to us, and how to effortlessly capture it all. Their editing is really classy and none of it was over the top or cheesy. I recommend them 1000x over! read more

If you are decided on whether or not to have a videographer for your wedding or simply trying to find one, Alan Larsen is as good as it gets! We hired Alan Larsen Films to shoot our wedding and it was one of our best decisions. My husband and I have watched our highlight video over thirty times since we received it one week ago. It is truly amazing how he captured our day perfectly in just six minutes. Friends and family agree! My husband and I honestly cannot thank Alan and his staff enough for helping create such a wonderful memento of our special day. We are beyond grateful for having them there to capture one of the most important days of our life! read more

When we were planning our wedding and looking at sample wedding videos, Alan Larsen's films stood out because his videos aren't just a chronological assembly of the day's events. He weaves a beautiful story with his films, which requires an ability that we just didn't see from other videographers. For his beautiful work, Alan charges a pretty penny, but it's a fair price--and it's worth it. We had a fairly modest budget, and we really struggled with the "is it worth it?" question, and you might be struggling, too. We made a commitment that the majority of the budget should go towards things that will really matter in the long run. We eventually decided it was absolutely worth it to pay for Alan to film our wedding. A wedding video is special because you will have it forever and can watch and re-watch it on every anniversary, one day with your kids, and many times in between. You'll have the opportunity to watch your wedding video and see a moment you missed in the chaos of the day, or see a tender moment with a loved one who might no longer be here with you, and you'll cherish it. In addition to doing beautiful work, Alan is a consummate professional. Leading up to the wedding, he was extremely easy to work with, and very responsive. He answered all of our emails immediately, and always made himself available. And on the day of, he was always a step ahead, and where he needed to be. He does an amazing job of getting the shots he needs during those big moments, and then during the rest of the time, he somehow blends in. He's never in the way, and since he uses small cameras, he's not at all distracting for the guests. He also worked great with our photographer. We really recommend splurging for one of the packages with a longer wedding highlight film! Those extra minutes make a huge difference. The more expensive packages (like option #2, which we had) also include a second cinematographer, which will get you more material and easier logistics. (Our second cinematographer, Nick, was also a pleasure to work with.) His shorter films are still great, but the longer format really gives him the opportunity to do what he does best: scour hours of video and hundreds of clips and assemble a seamless film that tells the story of the couple and everything that happened that day. We absolutely love our wedding video, and highly recommend Alan Larsen Films! read more

Alan Larsen is AMAZING! He is an incredibly gifted videographer and you end up with a work of art at the end. His quality of work and his professionalism are top notch...he is no doubt the best! Our wedding was in August of 2013. We met with 6 videographers and chose Alan because we loved the "film" feel of his videos. His sample videos were so well produced and we could only hope that ours could be half as good. Our wedding video is truly a masterpiece! We were amazed about how he really captured the feeling of the day. The video is incredibly moving, and its large in part from his teams ability to capture artistic shots and weave them together with suberb editing. He is also a pleasure to work with. He is very responsive, friendly and easy going. If you looking for a wedding videographer/film maker, I highly recommend Alan. This is an investment that you do not want to skimp on. His work is worth every penny and more and you will not regret it! read more

Alan has provided outstanding videography for commercial and private use. His ability to capture the energy of the moment is especially pronounced, as we have used him for not only USC programs, but also USC Rec Sport partnerships with Nike. All parties are always impressed with his professionalism, discretion and exceptionally quick turn-around time for a finished product. Thank you Alan for providing such a wonderful service! read more

What an amazing and professional crew! Alan and his crew captured the most memorable videos of our wedding. We are so happy with our highlight and ceremony videos. They also give you the raw footage which gives you the opportunity to see the unseen footage which can bring you to tears, laughs, or both! read more

Our highlight video turned out amazing!!! The quality of work surpasses all of the other videographers that I have seen and I have seen many. When my husband and I started to plan our wedding we knew that a videographer was one of our top priorities. After searching through dozens of videographers I came across Alan Larsen Films and I looked no further. His videos look like feature films instead of a typical wedding videos. Not only was the quality great, but Alan and his assistant were so nice and accommodating. Thank you so much!! read more

We were thrilled with our experience with Lovebug Media (formerly Alan Larsen Films). Alan and his team did a fantastic job filming our wedding. They made an unforgettable video that we have been enjoying showing off, and our parents watch our highlight video almost daily. The edited video was ready quicker than we expected, and we could not have been happier with it. From the start to finish they were easy to work with, and they were very receptive to the edits we wanted. It seemed like they really wanted to make us happy and capture our key moments. After looking at a number of possible videographers we found Lovebug through a family member who used them. It was an easy decision to choose them, and I would recommend Lovebug Media to anyone without hesitation. read more

I hired Alan for my company training video project. I am so glad I did. Not only the video exceed our expectation, Alan made the entire production process rather painless. He gave us guidance whenever it is pertinent and remained very flexible with our requests. I will definitely hire Alan again for my future video projects. read more

I have been friends with Alan for a very long time. We attended USC together and I knew he was the one videographer I would hire for my wedding. He did not disappoint. He was professional, showed up on time, got all the perfect shots and put together a beautiful highlight reel that that I can't stop watching. I would hire him again and again and would recommend him to every bride-to-be! read more

This review is a long time coming. Alan and his team are top notch! My husband and I were planning a wedding in Los Angeles and found Alan through all his amazing yelp reviews. After watching a few sample videos on his website, we decided to book his team for our wedding. Best decision we every made! We are so thrilled with the results. Book them. You won't be disappointed. read more

WOW!! Is all I can say. Alan Larsen Films (Alan and Sekwan...thank you guys!!) shot our wedding day and the result was magnificent, brought most of my family and friends to tears....made us look like movie stars!! The editing, clarity and story telling is nothing short of AMAZING. Our video is fun for us to watch, even after the umpteenth time.... it feels like a moviie!! On top of it all, Alan and his partner that day were on time, professional, worked unobtrusively, were very flexible, accommodating, fun and easy going. Alan is also a very modest and humble person.Alan was very easy to communicate with; he responded to voicemails, texts, emails etc promptly. He was even willing to accommodate us when we wanted to downgrade packages a month before the wedding. Ever since I saw a sample of one wedding videos he'd done, I knew that I had to have Alan Larsen to shoot our wedding, I resisted the rational part of my brain(my the fiance) telling me that we were already over budget and may have to scale back on the quality we want for a wedding video. Nah ah! I decided to cut corners where I could, just so I could afford Alanfor 8-10 hours of our wedding. One of the best decisions we made about our wedding day If you value a piece of your memories ..your wedding day, documented by one of the best cinematographers tin LA that is affordable and available...do it. I especially love the ceremony and highlights video edit. They are easy to share via youtube and such so our friends and families around the world can enjoy our wedding video whenever they want. We also watch out video edits again and again because like I said, it's a movie starring us and our family. read more

Alan Larsen Films was the videographer for my sister and brother in law's wedding and I knew as soon as I saw their highlight video that I had to have them do mine. 3 years later (when it was actually my turn to do the wedding planning), I booked Alan as soon as I booked our venue. Our highlight video is honestly the best wedding gift ever. We had some family members who were unable to attend and being able to show them our full ceremony coverage and fantastic highlight reel was so great. Alan, Drew and the rest of the crew were absolutely professional, creative and exceeded our expectations. read more
