Keida is a blessing!! I can't believe how lucky we were to get to work with him for our wedding. He was a dream to work with from the very beginning. Responsive, knowledgeable, professional, warm, and thoughtful. He made the trek up to a remote part of Mendocino for our wedding, showed up at exactly the right moment, and got to work. During the whole wedding he was like a video ninja, in stealth mode, capturing every important moment but not getting in the way in the slightest. I don't know how he did it!! He checked in with us before he left and made sure everything was wrapped up. And then... the highlight reel... I can barely put it into words. It is breathtaking. It makes everyone cry. He captured the magic like nobody else could. He's seriously a genius. Like... this man is an ARTIST. His sense of timing for what he captured is just pure brilliance. Beat for beat, he hand picked the most precious, tender, funny, gorgeous moments, and wove them together with so much care. The work he produced for us is one of the most treasured heirlooms of my entire life. If Keida is available for your special day or occasion, book him right away, I promise you won't regret it. Thank you Keida!!! read more

My first impression was, "Great communication, booking process, and clear expectations for videography services." I booked Swannworks Films after working with Keida for previous weddings that I have coordinated as a wedding planner. When we were limited to a smaller guest count for our wedding due to capacity limitations during the pandemic, we decided to live stream our wedding ceremony for our guests that could not attend. Keida assisted with setting up the viewing platform on YouTube so that's our guests from out of state and even from other countries could tune in. We were given the link in advance so that it can be easily communicated to our guests. From the feedback that we received from our family and friends, the quality of the video and live stream was great, and they were so happy to be able to have tuned in to our wedding even in the midst of the pandemic. He was very clear with setting the right expectations from the beginning of our interaction during booking, and also professional and friendly on the wedding day. We were thankful that Keida captured our day and made it all possible for our loved ones to be able to join. Thank you Keida! The lasting impression? "We would recommend Swannworks Films if you're thinking of hiring a live stream wedding video or videography services for your wedding day!" read more

I don't even give this business or Keida Brewer one star. He was awful to work with. My husband and I got married Last November and signed a contract and paid of deposit in May of 2021 and we decided to cancel our services with him in August 2021. In our contract it clearly states that all deposits are non refundable 30 days leading up to the event. When we cancelled he refused to give us our deposit back of $1250 and we still have not received our deoposit back to this day even though we are owed our money back based on the contract we signed. DO NOT GO WITH HIM!!!! read more

Keida did a really amazing job filming our wedding in San Diego! The value is extraordinary. What was really amazing was how under the radar he was. He was never in the way of our event, but he got amazing shots. A true professional. I also thought that he had a great personality and enjoyed chatting with him pre-wedding. read more

We did our wedding back in August 2017 and he did a fantastic job! Our video was beautiful! Very happy with everything.

I am SO grateful to have found Keida for our wedding and rehearsal videos!! Not only is Keida'a work amazing, he is so responsive, knowledgeable, kind and professional. When I've had follow up questions he was able to speak with me or answer them instantly. Keida truly went over and beyond not only for our wedding but for our rehearsal dinner that we also hired him for. Keida communicated with us through the post process as he was completing our videos and made sure we were 100% happy with the videos before he completed them! He is a professional that is going to do whatever it takes to make sure his final product is nothing less than perfection for his clients. Which was exactly what he did for us! I can't wait to hire Keida again for another event we want to capture the moment! read more

This is a review of Keida's business acumen and general flexibility to our booking. When we decided to push back our wedding date, Keida was nice enough to agree to return our deposit if he was able to rebook our date. We had already heard great things about his work, so it's great to know that he's flexible with our booking. read more

My husband and I were married in South Lake Tahoe August of 2018. I was going back and forth the whole year prior about hiring a videographer. I looked into some quotes and it appeared out of our price range. When I came across Swannworks website and watched the videos, I couldn't stop crying at how beautiful they were! We inquired about costs and Keida was more than accommodating to our budget. This is by far the MOST important expense of your entire wedding! As everyone says, the day goes by way too fast and knowing we had our video footage, made it easier to enjoy the actual moment. Keida was professional, fun, personable, and his work is out of this world! We still watch our video almost every two weeks and reminisce about our beautiful day. Thank you Keida and Swannworks! read more

Keida crushed it at our wedding last weekend. He was super flexible with time and traveling, and he worked well with our photographer. He dressed well, and his equipment was very professional. I would definitely recommend him to anyone! It's important to have a video of your most special day. read more

As a vendor myself I like to take a look at who I will be working with. I had heard about Swannworks Films through a friend and when I checked out their website I was very impressed. Keida and his team were great from the beginning to work with. They are very willing to work with their customers and provide the best photo/video product. Very approachable, easy to communicate with. Prior to the event, we had thoroughly discussed the details of the event and how we can compliment each other. The day of the event went very well because our communication with one another was on point. The team was on time and we could tell they took pride in their work and wanted to do the best job. They worked with us, gave input and also were receptive to any ideas we had. It was a long event and they were dedicated the entire time. I look forward to working with Keida and his team again. read more

Amazing! Keida and his wife Abbie really captured the essence of our day. We love our video! If you're on the fence about using a videographer for your wedding hire them. It really is a must have as the day will go by in a blink and you get to see a lot of what you had forgotten or missed. It is so awesome to have a video. I would recommend using them for your wedding or real estate video. Fast turn around and respectful of other vendors. Thank you, Keida and Abbie! read more

I can't speak highly enough for how awesome Keida and his films are. I was extremely fortunate enough to have him be our videographer for our wedding last year in beautiful North Beach, SF- 10/22/2016. He was super professional, very flexible and willing to work with us and our timetable for the wedding events, and his work is simply top notch/high quality. With a few requests on our end for what we wanted our video to entail, he just took it from there and was on the ball the whole time. The end result was nothing less but impressive with such attention to detail; it gets me choked up every time I watch it. It was truly the best investment that we made and a treasure we can keep with us forever. With a stressful day such as this, Keida accommodated and made things smooth and easy. Even after the wedding, a year later to be precise, he is still as nice and helpful as he was that day. I strongly recommend hiring Keida and his company Swannworks Films to film your special event. You will not regret it at all- I promise!!! THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts, Keida! That video has touched so many of us reminiscing and reliving that beautiful and blessed day we all shared together. read more

We first saw Keida's work when he did the videography for my friend's wedding in San Francisco. When I saw their highlight video I was so blown away by how the different shots changed to the beat of the music, and how he made a wedding highlight video look like an actual music video. Not to mention how he captured all the happiness of the day and you could actually feel it. Our friends couldn't stop saying how amazing it was! I actually never saw a wedding video like it before. So when I got engaged I knew that having a videographer was a MUST and I had to have Keida at Swannworks Films! I lucked out because I was planning my wedding to be in Huntington Beach, and coincidentally, Keida was moving to Orange County. It was fate! August 18, 2018 was the big day and Keida was sure to be well prepared. He was easy to communicate with and answered my emails within the same day. He asked questions about my vision for the day and what drone shots I would want if there were any. He also worked so well with my photographer and DJ who were also helping to coordinate the day. Keida had the challenge of having to go to 5 locations for the wedding day, and once the day started he was on-time to each location and he was non-stop working. There is not one important thing he missed. In fact, even when the event was over and everyone was home recovering, the next day Keida went back to my Church to take additional shots of it empty just so he could include it in our teaser and highlight video. This man is amazing! Keida is a true artist and professional and it shows in his attention to detail. He is the wedding videographer that doesn't want to just record your big day, but he wants to capture the real emotions and feeling of happiness and seal it forever in a capsule for you to look back on for years and decades to come. I can't stop smiling when watching my highlight video! He gives you 10x more than what you expect, and also appreciates feedback because he wants his work to be perfect for you. We love his vision and style and the husband especially loves the drone shots. We hope you will be able to have Keida capture your special day as well! read more

WOW. Working with Keida exceeded our expectations from the very first time we communicated he was responsive and extremely friendly. I never felt like I was annoying him with questions and he always responded right away which is a really big deal when you are planning for a wedding! Initially, we weren't sure if we should have a videographer but for anyone who is on the fence about it, it was worth every penny. We had multiple vendors and the value of reliving our special day with Keida's AMAZING filming was priceless. He was on time, super easy to work with and super respectful. What more can you ask for?! The day we got the highlight video we sent it to our family and friends and every single one of them was blown away. Many were in tears of how well he did the video and how well he was able to capture the most important aspects of the wedding. I can't say enough about Keida and his professionalism. If you are looking for a videographer, look no more, Keida is THE person to do it. You'll want to keep your video on repeat after getting his amazing footage! Thank you again so much, Keida, you've reflected our most important day of our life in a way we could have never imagined and we will forever be thankful for that! This is something we will share with our future family and their future family and we are so grateful for you! read more
