She…read morewas the first vendor we booked for our April 2020 wedding (that obviously was canceled due to Covid) and was super patient and helpful during the almost 2 years we ended up planning our wedding because of multiple cancellations. She gave us tons of recommendations for other vendors, many of whom became instrumental parts of our day, like Kelsey Crews Photo and Tanya of RSVP Weddings & Events. She became a friend throughout the long process of our wedding planning and she even met up with us when we drove down to Santa Barbara to check out some venues and meet some vendors. She showed us this hidden gem of a ceremony venue that I fell head over heels in love with (although unfortunately we didn't get to be married there because I let my husband have his first choice of ceremony venue, as it was one of the only things he actually cared about). My husband and I are both pretty introverted and awkward people, and hate being the center of attention and people looking at us, so we were NOT looking forward to being filmed or photographed. However, Jennie (and our photographer Kelsey Crews) were so warm and sweet and fun that they actually made the photoshoot one of the most enjoyable parts of the day! The 4 of us went off after the ceremony before the reception to film some footage and take photos, and we had an absolute blast! Jennie was even kind enough to send a 1-min sneak peek video the day after our wedding that I got to watch on repeat basically the entire 4.5 hour car ride back to the Bay Area! Choosing Riviera Productions to shoot our day was the single best decision I made throughout this entire process, because without Jennie (and some of the other vendors she introduced us to), we never would have had even close to as perfect a day as we did. The entire day was magic, and we have Jennie to thank for that. Jennie is kind and generous and flexible and we feel very fortunate to have her not just as our videographer, but as a lifelong friend. I really look forward to meeting her for a hike next time we're in Santa Barbara!

I wanted very specific still shots along with plenty of candids of our guests and he delivered. The greatest compliment of a really good photographer is when you go back and watch the video and look through pictures you feel like you're reliving the weekend! He did just that. I wouldn't choose anyone else to be with us on our wedding weekend. His team was awesome!

I'm 'in the business' and didn't want to see cameras everywhere. What is really mind blowing is Jennifer is usually very camera shy.

We received an outpouring of positive feedback in the days after we shared our highlight reel ... "waterworks!" or "LOVE IT - made me feel like we were all there again!". I was shocked, it was 17 minutes and I didn't think anyone would take the time to watch except me. Even my husband's seen it 6 times! I call Susan the "video ninja" because she wears all black, is rather small and can work alone. You really don't know she's there. Most videographers come with a crew, as their goal is to make a perfect movie. My goal was to have a perfect wedding, and then a video, maybe. If this is where you're at - don't regret not having it filmed. Every time I watch the film it makes me so happy. Our photographer was phenomenal, but can't compare to the emotion that a moving picture provides. Our destination wedding in Hawaii was full of love, support and pure joy beyond my wildest imagination. The best week of our lives :)

My now-husband and I hired them to film our wedding video. Months before the big day, they drove to LA to get to know us and shoot an engagement video. It ended up being extra special because we were able to put the video on display at our venue for wedding night itself. In the month ahead of the wedding itself, they also had us fill out a form and did a follow-up call so they knew what to expect / what vibe we were hoping to go for. They were extremely professional but also very fun fun, and made us feel at ease as they shot the wedding. Fast forward to after the wedding, they quickly sent the most stunning teaser video that hd us crying that the wedding was over and reliving the fun all over again.

We love our video and watching it brings us back to that very special day. I highly recommend Ridge Production to anyone looking for a unique and personal wedding video.

We had an awful experience with Ridge Productions! Once we received our wedding video back we were…read morein shock that this is the work of a professional company. Important moments during our ceremony were omitted from the video. I had made a special audio for my husband, a prayer for us, for our walk and this was left out of the video!! We did a mash up dance that was also omitted from the video! Our cousins did a fabulous dance for us that was also left out! WHY? These are important moments of the wedding! It should be noted that I had communicated with Ridge Productions before our wedding that these special moments must be included in the video. During another important moment, the marriage contract, the entire video footage was shaky, I felt like my 7 year old nephew could have taken better footage. So careless at such a sensitive time! To make matters worse the audio during our marriage ceremony and contract was way off and didn't match the video. What is going on? During our speeches, the coloring of the video was off and again, shaky footage. I just can't understand how you could do this for someone's wedding? We paid for the Platinum package, which was the highest package available. Doing this with an expectation that we would be pleased with the results. To our dismay, we were beyond disappointed! Through my interactions with Ridge via email, and phone, I really tried to work this out and edit the video. After the 1st edit I was shocked that what I received still had the same issues!! I was so sad and it was so hard to even look at the video again to make notes for our 2nd round. I finally sat down and worked on all my notes. The owner Tim completely blew me off and said there is nothing else he can do for us!!! WHAT?? Our contract states we are entitled to 2 edits. We didn't even get 1 edit because our video was never in a normal state. There was so much work and issues with the original video. Now we have to pay to get our video edited by another videographer. I STRONGLY ADVISE YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS VENDOR. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY! BIG FAIL!

You ever watch documentaries or highlights of athletes and you think, wow they made them look…read moreiconic, how did they do that? Well after watching our wedding video that this amazing team has done for us, I cannot believe how great they made us look! Let's start from the very beginning ... As our wedding date was set, my girl and I were looking for a great videography team that had style, had passion and also had experience with the venue we were having our wedding at. After looking through our venue's IG page, a specific video caught my eye and it happened to be done by the wonderful FilmLife team. I had already reached out to 2 other videography teams and as we spoke with each of these videography teams, it was easy to choose FilmLife. First off, the first interaction with FilmLife was genuine; upon meeting a very friendly Trenton, he asked very specific questions that were outside of the wedding plans as well as related to the wedding plans to gauge what kind of couple we are. As soon as both Trenton and us realized we had good chemistry and that this would be a fun day to be around each other, it was an easy decision. I really appreciated this vetting process because you want to be comfortable from both behind and in front of the camera. The other videography teams were very "cookie-cutter", they didn't ask much about us other than our dates and we never got to speak with the videographer who'd work with us, it was just yes we'll take you and here's what it'll cost. Trenton sat down and took time out of his day to also see if we'd be a couple he'd shoot with and after an hour call that felt like 10 minutes, it was an easy decision. We went through the packages that FilmLife had and FilmLife was very flexible and understanding of what we were looking for. As weeks went by and the wedding date approaching, Trenton sat down with us through zooms and was able to help craft our story, customized to us with questions about us as a couple, our history, what our future looks like and what we are excited for at the wedding. These types of questions help with your own vows and we appreciated having these sessions to help truly understand why we were getting married. May I also say that Trenton always had enthusiasm with these sessions; we understand that Trenton and his wife and team were very busy because of their schedule but our sessions always felt as if the wedding was tomorrow and FilmLife was eager to shoot. The wedding day comes in and Trenton arrives with another videographer, the man Jacob. These two provide the game plan that had been reviewed multiple times before the day but it felt like everything flowed smoothly. Trenton would be with us for one part and then Jacob as well and the duo just had great chemistry working with each other as well as our wedding party. It was just fun all around. Never did we felt like we were in front of a camera, but also when Trenton and Jacob were able to chat, they felt like just one of our friends hanging out. When it's your wedding day, you're bound to feel the jitters of the day but with the all stars of Trenton and Jacob, you felt calm and loose and just overall excited. Plus both these guys hit all the highlights we wanted them to record and after a long and fun and momentous day, both Trenton and Jacob showed enthusiasm, a sense of style and eye for the moment and were extremely professional. Finally wrapping up, we received our sneak peeks sooner than we thought and we were astonished as to how amazing FilmLife made our day look. Trenton found the perfect music for our trailer and we shared with all our friends and they all were equally impressed. The hard work and long hours FilmLife put into our day showed immediately and we are just so grateful that Trenton and Jacob were able to spend the day with us to capture our memories. If anyone is getting married and wants the Jedi of videography, there really is no equal. Thank you FilmLife, we are so thankful and grateful for your hard work throughout this process and your big smiles at our wedding and even to this day! Wish you guys the best!

We cannot recommend FilmLife enough! From the moment we started looking for a videographer, we knew…read morewe wanted someone who could create a timeless film that captured every aspect of our wedding day. We didn't just want a video, we wanted a true reflection of our love and the joy we felt. Trenton & Bethany delivered that and more--they captured every meaningful moment beautifully and seamlessly. Like many couples, we had concerns going into the process. Our biggest fear was finding someone who was just in it for the money and wouldn't give us the attention our special day deserved. Trenton completely put those worries to rest. He and his wife took the time to get to know us--not just as clients, but as people--so that they could understand our story and what we wanted out of our wedding film. It was clear that they genuinely cared about creating something amazing for us, and that dedication was evident in the final product. The process was so much more than just shooting our wedding. The Storybuilding Session was one of the highlights for us and allowed them to get a sense of our past and our vision for the future, making sure everything was planned to capture the essence of our love. We would have probably waited until the last minute to write our vows, and they wouldn't have been nearly as meaningful as they were without the guidance we received. On the wedding day itself, Trenton and his team was absolutely incredible. They worked seamlessly with our timeline and made sure they captured all of our dreams for the day. They were flexible, adaptable, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. We didn't have to worry about a thing--we could just focus on enjoying our day while knowing we were in good hands. When we finally received our wedding film, we were blown away. It beautifully showcases the effortless joy of our day, capturing moments of love, laughter, and emotion in such a genuine and natural way. We couldn't be more grateful for the care and effort they put into every detail. And to top it all off, FilmLife went above and beyond by providing us with extra photos, a longer video, and even a same-day edit--none of which we had asked for or paid for. Their generosity truly showed how committed they are to making every couple's experience special. If you're considering FilmLife for your wedding, don't hesitate. We know that budget can be a concern for many couples, but we can honestly say that every penny spent was worth it. The memories they've helped us create are priceless, and we will cherish this film forever. It's something that our loved ones, children, and even grandchildren will be able to watch and treasure for years to come. We wholeheartedly recommend FilmLife to any couple looking for a wedding videographer who will go above and beyond to capture the magic of their day. Their attention to detail, personal approach, and outstanding work made our wedding day even more unforgettable. You won't regret choosing them!
