Sophia really outdid herself. After scouring through her work, I knew I wanted this woman to work with us. But the results were truly just next level. This was worth the wait of a lifetime. My husband and I are still attempting to locate our jaws somewhere on the living room floor after watching the video. I immensely appreciated the fact she went out of her way to incorporate personal requests into the project. Her work means the world to us, and we are so blessed we were able to find her for our big day. Since I was a young girl, I always knew I wanted a wedding video but she gave us a freaking wedding MOVIE. The quality, attention to detail, emotion, and editing are out of this world. This was truly a dream come true, and better than I even imagined. Her work speaks for her passion so well. Do yourselves a favor and book her. read more

We had an intimate destination wedding at Four seasons Ko Olina and Sophia did amazing job! The communication with her was really nice and easy and she even delivered the wedding photo faster than she promised. My only regret was I didn't book her long enough . If you're looking for natural, candid, yet artistic and gorgeous wedding photos, hire Sophia!! read more

It's been a year since our wedding and I forgot to write this review until now. Sophia created such a beautiful wedding video for us, and her style is so unique that it really sets her apart from the rest of the wedding videographers that I feel do that same video over and over. I was on the fence about having a videographer, but I'm so glad we did. Sophia is an artist and she is such a nice person. It was great meeting her via Zoom before the wedding and her communication via email was always prompt. She is very personable with her clients, even via email, and she was also so accommodating with our pandemic rescheduling (twice!). The second time we rescheduled, our dates were conflicting (our fault due to limited venue dates), so she helped us by having another videographer shoot the wedding and then she planned to edit the video for us, but then she was able to do all of the shooting and editing for us after all. Basically, she went out of her way to help us when things got crazy due to rescheduling, but I'm so glad it worked out where she could do the whole video for us. I highly recommend Sophia Roud for videography - you won't regret it! read more

If you're looking for a wedding photographer, this young lady is amazing! We could not believe how young and talented she is! We were looking (kinda last minute) at photographer options and had someone for 2k, but we didn't want to pay that much as the bride was looking at expenses. Our wedding coordinator suggested Sophia and the photos turned out amazing (just look at the pics). She is sweet, calm and very creative. Our whole wedding party was in awe when we sent out the pics - she also provided the pictures quickly, a day after the event! Highly suggest especially if don't want to spend an absurd amount but want beautiful unforgettable pics! Thank you so much from the sister of the bride and everyone in the wedding party!!! read more

Sophia Roud Media - Video/Film Production Near Me

Sophia--young, but talented! Our budget originally didn't include a videographer but after attending our friends wedding in July, the concept of a video became more important. After shopping around, I came Across Sophia's site and loved her stylistic way of videoing weddings. I inquired about pricing and to be honest, was the best deal out there (and I had her fly from Oahu to Maui!) She's great with corresponding via email and telephone/text and we got our video really fast! The only reasons why I knocked off a star is because she didn't get too much of our immediate family in the video. Granted, we chose the shorter package and I did tell her to catch "all the wedding" but it maybe is important to clarify this to her, as she a little soft spoken. Also, she included herself in our video, which is only 2-3 seconds but I found that odd and our video was short so those seconds were precious! Overall, Sophia was great and I highly recommend her read more

Sophia was absolutely incredible to work with and the video she created for us still brings me to tears! We love her!! She was able to work around our traveling schedule in order to film our elopement video. She also picked us up from our hotel and took us to the shooting location EARLY in the morning in order for us to do a beautiful sunrise shoot on a secluded beach! She was also able to work with our budget and create a package that was exactly what we wanted. You can really tell Sophia loves what she does. Her passion for cinematography is inspiring! I enjoyed every second we spent with her. read more

I looked all over for someone who was able to capture light, emotion, and feeling in a creative, non-cookie cutter way. I finally found beautiful, magnificent and artistic Sophia on Yelp. Yay for Sophia Roud! She explained to me carefully and with passion exuding from her eyes and every cell in her body that each project is always her best work. She is always saying, "You've gotta check out this last video I made...it's my best and favorite!!" That was the clincher for me....someone who wants the best for my work because she is personally invested herself. Sophia was hired on the spot. She is also humble, and mature beyond her years. Her work is up there and surpasses the top videographers I know because of her artistic nature. Sophia is unwilling to compromise quality for less work. I feel safe shooting with her and her masterpieces... WOW. WOW. WOW. I don't enjoy watching myself on video even though I do it a lot for work. But WOW. Her finalized video gave me chills, tears in a good way, and is simply truly fantastic. Do not hesitate to hire Sophia and pay her well for her fabulous masterpieces! She is very very well worth it and the good energy she puts into your project (whether it be wedding, business, or commercial) can be felt. Looking forward to doing more work with you Sophia. xxoo read more

Sophia was nothing short of amazing. My wife & I decided to find a Videographer for our wedding and we decided to go with Sophia Roud through our photographer. He told us about her and knowing that our photographer's work was amazing. We couldn't have been more excited to find out about our Videographer! The day of our wedding it was quite amazing. We didn't get the chance to see Sophia at all. It was like she worked from the shadows but we would catch a glimpse of her on occasions and very rarely did we ever feel like we were intruded on. It was unbelievable as most photographers & videographers need to get up right in your face to get the best shots possible. Not Sophia. Sophia was UNBELIEVABLE. It was absolutely amazing how the video turned out to be and knowing that she got some amazing shots just made it all the better. After we received our video the wife and I were talking together trying to figure out where Sophia was during that 8 hours of time we booked her for. Not only was she able to hide away and keep herself constantly videotaping our wedding. But she seemed to be able to catch the love, joy, and happiness that was permeating that day. I couldn't recommend her more. If you want someone who you know will catch the best of your beautiful loved one and yourself. Catch the emotions and moments that you knew were special to you at that exact moment. A videographer who was very steady and amazing at keeping herself very professional but extremely friendly. I couldn't have asked for someone better. Thank you again Sophia from my wife & I. read more

I cannot say enough words for how amazing Sophia is at her craft! Not only is she good as what she does, she's just the sweetest person to interact and work with! We were so excited to receive our video a few short months after the wedding. It was the main thing I was looking forward to the most! We knew she was good when we hired her but she captured our wedding so beautifully and exceeded beyond our wildest expectations! The attention to detail she puts into her films and creativity is extraordinary. I don't know how she does it but while filming at the wedding she was just stealthy and kept out of sight to capture the most amazing candid moments. If you are debating whether or not to hire a videographer for your wedding, do it! If you're debating on hiring Sophia to capture you're wedding... DO IT. You don't want to miss out on this gem. :) read more

Absolutely incredible photography. Sophia is such a beautiful young artist who looks to create magic with every shot. She is a true visionary and wants to capture a subject's essence aside from just its beauty or glamor. I've worked with Sophia on multiple projects over the last few years and have always been totally STUNNED with what she's been able to capture. Aside from her photography skills, her spirit and warmth as a person is unmatched. I've been to a dozen weddings (either as a guest or working) and I've never met a photographer who was so kind and eager to capture the perfect shot. Hire her. You won't regret it. read more

I have been literally crying all morning from joy watching Sophia's videography she did for us. It is beautiful. The most beautiful video of my entire life. Not only was the videography so captivating she was also so friendly and personable. You could tell she loves doing what she does. She's a natural. Her energy made me feel extra happy during our wonderful but stressful time. We overworked her with doing our ceremony and reception but the videos came out perfect. So thank you for your hard work. Much love and aloha. -Jordan & Damien Alvarez read more

I don't even know where to begin! Sophia was an absolute dream to work with. The sweetest soul with a true gift of capturing the best day ever. We get to relive this day over and over again through the most romantic, moody, beautiful lense of Sophia. I would hire her 100 times again if I could!! We live in Portland (and her in Hawaii) and she was more than willing to travel to us because we wanted her to capture our day. There are many amazing videographers out there, but I've never seen another video as unique and beautiful as Sophia's! read more

Amazing. Unique. Ambitious. Visionary. Sophia definitely stands out from the crowd! Her work is artistic and creative and awe inspiring! We hired Sophia to be our wedding videographer and were so glad we did. Sophia is very easy to communicate with and professional. Her mastery of her craft is what appealed to us the most, when we watch our videos we relive our favorite moments like a dream that you never want to end. It's amazing how magical her finished products make you feel. She may be young but her works are timeless. We loved her smile and presence, very reassuring on your big day as she makes you feel relaxed in front of the camera. She's fun and energetic, you won't go wrong! Choose her!!! read more

Sophia has an incredible ability to capture every important moment without you even noticing that she was there. She blended gorgeous ceremony footage, candid reception moments, beautiful shots of the scenery, audio from our ceremony, and thoughtfully selected music to create an impactful wedding highlight that we cannot stop watching! We are grateful that we selected Sophia to document our special day and we highly suggest her to anyone who is in search of a videographer. read more

Sophia was brought to me by a friend as a wedding present to capture the most important day of our lives! Sophia was amazing!!! She is reliable and so quick! Sophia is so talented and captured all the important moments and made them into a video for us. I didn't even have to tell her what type of video I wanted and what my visions were but she had captured them perfectly. Her work is truly amazing and you won't regret hiring her as your videographer! read more

Sophia is very talented. It's easy to see her passion for art and beauty. We were very fortunate to work with Sophia for our wedding. She did an amazing job at capturing moments that'll last forever! I'm in love with her work and still amazed with the final product. Also, she sent us a customized flash drive and personalized it with sweets! She is so amazing and sweet. Great to work with! read more

Every time I look back at our video, I'm so happy to see how beautifully these guys captured our special day. My husband and I live in L.A. and wanted to capture our mini ceremony (a dozen in attendance) at a beach park near where he grew up in Hawaii. We're pretty no-frills and low-key, so this ceremony-only package was perfect for us. Side note... There are very few videographers on the island that will even take a job this small. I explained to another videographer that our needs were simple, but he said he really only did "bigger" wedding videos (with drones and body doubles, i'm sure) and reluctantly obliged to send me more info, which he didn't. Anyhow, no job is too big or small for this girl! She'll tackle any job. Sophia was totally up for what we wanted to capture, utterly sweet and responsive. A truly talented professional. read more

Where to begin?! Sophia is so incredibly talented and was such a pleasure to work with. She did our wedding video on Oahu and we were blown away by the final result! We looked at several different videographers and when we came across Sophia's work we knew immediately that this is what we had been looking for. Her style is more cinematic and creative. We scheduled a FaceTime session right away with her and chatted about what we were looking for. She was so eager to learn about us and what we were looking for. She connected with us a couple of weeks before the wedding to chat about final details. Day of went so smoothly and we honestly felt that we had made a lifelong friend by the end of it. When planning such a special day it is invaluable to have people around who you have full confidence in from the beginning to end. If you are looking for a video that captures all of the emotions of a wedding day that you will watch over and over, Sophia is your girl!!! read more

Being on a budget my husband and I were hesitant to hire a videographer as we already hired a photographer and felt that that would be enough. I am sooooo happy we decided to go with Sophia Roud Media to film our wedding! I liked our wedding photos the photographer took, but when I saw our wedding video Sophia made, both my husband and I cried. Her video completely outshined the wedding pictures! It was gorgeous!!! The quality was top notch, the color she captured was the perfect balance of warmth and brightness and gave a really natural feel that I love, and the music she chose fit perfectly with the feelings of our wedding as well as my husbands and my personality. Sophia has an amazing eye for beauty and knows how to catcher those special moments without even being noticed. Although Sophia is a young spunky videographer, the quality of work she produces is that of a highly seasoned professional. Not only is she amazing at her profession, but she is also truly a sweet and caring person who wants to bring joy to others by capture those special moments knowing how it will be cherished for a lifetime. I can't be more grateful to Sophia for capturing our special moment in time. We will definitely be contacting Sophia Round Media again when we have our first-born. Not only is Sophia an outstanding videographer but she is also an amazing photographer too! Thank you for making our wedding that much more perfect! We look forward to seeing you again soon. read more

My friend and I had to create a video to raise money for our mission to travel to Indonesia in order to give water filtration systems to underprivileged children. I knew Sophia from school and heard of her talent in videography. When I reached out to ask her to help with our project, she immediately began working with me to start filming. She was reliable and easy to communicate our vision with. Her own artistic personality allowed for her to create vivid and interesting shots that helped get our point across. She was really friendly and patient with us especially when we had to record ourselves (and we definitely had more then 10 takes). She did her best to accommodate us where she was able, you could understand how much she cared about getting you the perfect video. Her video was amazing communicating our mission in a fun and artistic way. All in all I would definitely recommend working with her in any projects you may have. read more
