Dustin and the entire Tidal Wedding Films staff were amazing to work with. They are professional, knowledgeable, and personable. Our wedding was postponed twice (read three separate wedding dates) due to the global covid pandemic. Dustin and his staff were so easy to work with and were very reasonable. Our contract for both photography and videography was honored even though pricing was from 2019 and the wedding happened in 2022 (which I can say our catering did not honor the original contract) which we greatly appreciated! They are responsive and communicative. It took awhile to write this review because while we got the 5 minute and 1 minute video (along with the footage from the entire day) we ended up adding on the 45min video to our package months after the wedding. We waited to watch the video on our 1 year anniversary and I am so glad we did! The video perfectly captured our day, from the vows to the reception to the speeches, it was lovely. I appreciate Dustin's attention to detail for the videos. He captured the day so beautifully and I cannot say thank you enough to Dustin and the rest of the staff at Tidal Wedding Films!!! If we got to do it all over again we would 100% book them again! read more

Dustin was the videographer for our wedding ceremony and let me just say he went above and beyond! He did an amazing job capturing our best sides and capturing details. I'm very shy when it comes to being in front of a camera or knowing I'm being recorded but he did a great job being invisible and making us feel comfortable! My husband and I couldn't be happier with how our highlight video turned out. It came out better than I expected! I'm really glad we decided to book with Tidal Wedding Films. We will be recommending Dustin specifically to all our friends that get engaged/married! Thank you Tidal Wedding Films for providing us a video that we will cherish forever and show our children when they're older! read more

Tidal Wedding Films - Video/Film Production Near Me

We found Tidal Films through our photographer who works jointly with them and we were not disappointed. We knew that it was much easier to fall in love with photography over videography as there is a lot more that goes into the video including music, lighting, and the skill of getting different shots with just one or two videographers. We used Tidal Films, Dustin and Nick for our wedding day and were amazed at how Nick compiled the entire days events into the most amazing highlight reels. I had posted our video on my social media for no more than twelve hours and have already gotten multiple messages about who we used :) You also can opt for the raw footage which has been fun to watch as well. Thank you so much for making one of the most difficult parts of the day to capture on film, one of our favorite memories we have from it! read more

Tidal Wedding Films - Video/Film Production Near Me

Due to Covid we decided to elope. The customer service from Tidal Wedding Films was fabulous from the start. Communication was always timely and friendly. Day of our wedding, the videographer was top notch. He met us there and had already shot some Ariel Alvir's of where we were getting married. Once we arrived, he spent his time filming us. He was very professional and friendly. When we received our final project we were beyond pleased with the quality of the work. We cannot recommend Tidal Wedding Films enough. read more

Dustin at Tidal Wedding Films was absolutely amazing for our wedding day. We had our full wedding canceled due to Coronavirus and decided to use Tidal Wedding Films for an "elopement" style wedding on the beach. And we are so grateful we did. We met Dustin for the first time on our wedding day and he immediately felt like a friend. He was fun, professional, and creative and we were blown away by the videos we came away with. For us, the photos and videos of our day had some added importance since we were not able to celebrate with our family and friends as we originally planned. We wanted to make sure our families could experience the day and feel like they were on that beautiful Coronado beach with us, and Dustin made that possible. He made sure we had all the footage we needed to share with everyone including raw ceremony footage and multiple highlight films and made sure we could revisit that day anytime we wanted. I cannot recommend Tidal Wedding Films highly enough, and we are so happy we got to work with Dustin for our wedding day! read more

My husband and I made a last minute decision to hire a videographer about 3 weeks before our wedding reboot. We're COVID couple, and initially got married the day San Diego shut down. I knew I wanted to capture the day/giant party we'd waited so long for. Dustin and his associates at Tidal Wedding Films went out of their way to make our entire experience with them flawless. The highlight reel makes me happy cry and really what more could you ask for from a wedding video? Our photographer, Paul Douda Photography, recommended them to us. The excellent relationship the two vendors have made our day go smoothly and I believe had a positive impact on the video we received. Hire Tidal Wedding Films! read more

We booked Tidal Wedding Films over a year ago for our wedding. We had researched a couple vendors and we're so happy we went with Tidal. They were so prompt in responding and very honest and helpful in answering all our questions. They guys who filmed for us were so personable, creative, flexible and ready to get all the good stuff and more. We got our highlights and footage a month later,exactly, and are SOOOO happy with it! It was so well done! The quality was beautiful and we could not be happier to have gone with Tidal! Truly amazing!!! read more

I did so much research on videographers and every time I watched one of Dustin's videos I loved every single detail. After our initial phone conversation I knew I wanted to work with Tidal Wedding Films. Dustin is so personable and energetic and was genuinely fun to be around. On the day of, he totally put us at ease. We barely even knew he was there, secretly capturing all of the details and personality of our special day. I know wedding photos are amazing and last a lifetime, but if you're on the fence about videography I promise you Dustin and his team are 100% worth it. Being able to relive our favorite moments through video is absolutely priceless! It's been five months and my husband and I watch our wedding video way more than we look at our photos. You can tell Dustin loves what he does and he really goes the extra step to create a beautiful, personalized video. read more

If you want video at your wedding, Tidal Films is the way to go. We first got in contact with Tidal off of the recommendation of our wedding coordinator, Jill Hudgins, and the quality of their past videos is really what drew us to them. Being in the film industry myself, the quality of work they have produced was unmatched. We chatted with Dustin and were so happy to have booked them as our videographers for our special day. Dustin and Ryan made the video aspect of the day fun, light, and far from stressful. They were relaxed, professional, and knew exactly how to get every shot they wanted. We were able to slow down time when we were working with them and Half Full Photography, and truly enjoy the moments we had together throughout the day. From getting ready, to first look, to the ceremony and beyond, Dustin and Ryan were incredible to work with. When we had to shift our wedding from 150 people to a much smaller and intimate ceremony in Emily's parents backyard, Tidal Films adapted and the flexibility they showed really helped in showcasing the professionalism we would be dealing with the day of. The guys knew how to make every moment shooting with them fun, and I truly believe they got the best candid shots out of us during our day. We could not recommend Tidal Films enough to anybody out there, and the video they made for us was incredible! read more

Dustin and his team were phenomenal! We selected his team to do the videography at our wedding and couldn't be happier with the results. Very professional and responsive to questions and was happy to give us guidance throughout the process. Highly recommended! read more

We loved our wedding video! So happy to have this to look back on and re-live all our wedding highlights whenever we want. It truly is the best souvenir to have post reception. Thank you Dustin and team! read more

Awesome video of our minimony. The short clip of our video leaves everyone crying. Our family watched the video over and over again. Thanks Dustin and team! You were very helpful from planning to the actual wedding. We had so much fun shooting our elopement wedding. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Tidal Wedding Films! Dustin arrived plenty early to capture both myself and the groom getting ready, the property, and even pull out his drone for an aerial view! He recorded the entire ceremony which was a must for us and gave us all of the raw footage! He was extremely professional throughout the night and captured everything we wanted him too and more! He made us feel very comfortable and was so fun to have around! The video he created for us was nothing we could have ever fathomed. The beauty of the video brought tears to everyone's eyes. If you are looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, professional videographer, hire Tidal Wedding Films. We will have our wedding video to cherish forever and ever. read more

Dustin is AMAZING as well as his entire crew! I absolutely LOVED working with him from start to finish. He is so fun and such a nice guy who truly cares about his client's wants and needs. From our initial set up call throughout the entire editing process, Dustin has been very responsive, energetic and kept me laughing and smiling my entire wedding day! He has an incredible eye for capturing the perfect moments during our wedding and created the most magical video that we'll be able to re-watch over and over so we can relive the best day of our lives. Dustin was even so kind and generous to help us make a video montage for our Saturday rehearsal dinner and did it just because he's a great guy! On the day of, we had three photographers and two videographers and I honestly barely knew they were even there! We had 300+ people at our wedding so I definitely recommend getting a videographer like Dustin who has the experience and expertise in capturing those moments that usually get missed or we didn't even know they had happened because we're so busy being pulled in 1,000 different directions. Dustin has the most incredible personality and made me feel so beautiful and special on my wedding day. I literally could not stop laughing and smiling because he made me so happy and I truly felt at ease with him. If you want to work with a fun yet professional company who can create the most cherishable and memorable video of your wedding day, I 100% highly recommend using Tidal Wedding Films! If I ever need to hire another videographer, I am definitely using Dustin and Tidal Wedding Films again!!! read more

Thank you tidal wedding films for the wonderful mini movie of our mini ceremony. Dustin was flexible and filmed our ceremony as a last minute plan when our "normal" ceremony turned into a "mini" ceremony during the pandemic. He gave us the opportunity to share our moment with everyone who would've originally been invited to our wedding had it not been for covid. He did such a great job that I had many people tell me that they were moved and cried after watching our video. Amazing videography in the way that the film was captured and edited. Thank you so very much! Highly recommend tidal wedding films services! read more

I would 100% recommend Tidal Wedding Films if you want a high quality wedding video that captures all of the important moments of your special day. We worked with Dustin and he was really good at bringing out everyone's personality and smile. We can't even begin to express how perfect our wedding film is and how proud we were to show it to everyone. read more

We recently (Sep 2019) had the pleasure of working with Dustin as our videographer for our wedding in San Diego. Tidal was one of the best vendors we had. I was planning the wedding from out of town and Dustin made the effort to get to known us over the phone so that the first day we met (our wedding day!) it was like we were already good friends. From the first minute of filming he was making us laugh and made me feel so comfortable. The final product was breathtaking... I literally use any excuse to show off my wedding video. Tidal Wedding Films comes highly recommended from this New Yorker! Check out their work on Vimeo , it speaks for itself. read more

Tidal Wedding Films is most DEFINITELY the best new videography firms that San Diego has to offer!! Seriously, this is the BEST team of videographers you could EVER wish for!! Dustin Sheffield, the owner and our lead videographer, is AMAZING!!! There is no other way to say it. We are from the Bay Area and we started planning our destination wedding at least a year in advance. We were married this past December 2018 in La Jolla, San Diego at the Martin Johnson House. After having found the perfect photographer, we were going back and forth trying to decide if we should add a videographer team as well. It was an extra cost and did we really need it, etc...IT WAS THE BEST DECISION WE COULD HAVE EVER MADE!! We spoke with the owner of our photography team from True Photography and he sent us some options of videographers to choose from. Once we saw one of the videos that Dustin had produced, we were HOOKED!!!! We knew right away he was the one we wanted to film our special day. Dustin reached out right away and spent time getting to know us and what our vision was. He is SUCH a cool guy, highly knowledgeable (he used to work for True Photography!!!), and humorous!! My husband is in the photo industry so he had a lot of questions which Dustin was able to answer easily and extensively (thank you, Dustin, for not agreeing to the surfing footage he wanted us to shoot! LOL!!). Our communication up to the wedding day was open and smooth. On the day of our wedding, Dustin arrived with his assistant videographer, Myong, and the True team, right on time. They worked seamlessly together!! They just jumped right in, making us all feel relaxed despite our pre-wedding jitters!! They were INCREDIBLE!!! The footage they got at the hotel, individually of myself and my husband, our fancy Rolls to the venue, the First Look, beach footage, the ceremony, the sunset pics, etc, (should I go on???) was just AMAZING!!! NO JOKE!!!! Dustin is also incredible with the drone footage and took some fabulous sky high footage of us walking on the beach at Scripps Pier and of the venue. WOW!! Everyone was raving how much they loved Dustin!! We received our highlight video within a MONTH (who does that so quickly??!!) and we are ABSOLUTELY OVER THE MOON with the end result!!! We only had one set of edits of which Dustin PERFECTED to the tee!!! The highlight video captured EVERY single important moment of our special day. It is truly MAGICAL!! We shared it right away with our family and friends and they are all blown away by not only the professional quality of the video but also of all the emotions that Dustin and Myong captured that day. The slo-mo footage is so beautiful!! If you want the perfect film team to capture your special day, this is the team for you!!! Look no more!! I promise!! As I bride, I poured over so many other wedding films and they do not come close to the quality and end result that Tidal Wedding Films produces. Check out their videos on Vimeo!! Ours is Sarah + Rob. I promise you will NOT be disappointed!! They are the REAL DEAL. We are so happy that we decided to add a videography team to our wedding day. It was worth every single penny and then some to have our special day memorialized in this amazing way!! We'll be watching it for the rest of our lives. Thank you Dustin and Myong for making our wedding dreams come true!!! We will be forever grateful!! Sarah and Rob read more

Dustin and his team were incredible! I hired them to capture my surprise engagement proposal. Dustin went above and beyond to make sure what I wanted would be captured and he guided me through the whole process. The shoot went perfect. And then I saw the video, Wow!! It came out so good. Extremely high quality, like production was so top notch. The drone shots they got too were so cool. My now fiancé was very happy with how everything came out. Dustin, Ryan and Harmony did such an amazing job, I will definitely be using Tidal films for my wedding. 100000% recommend. read more

Tidal Wedding Films was recommended to us by True Photography and without a doubt they are professionals that produce fantastic work. We are very glad to have them film and capture our wedding reception! The highlights video is amazing! I spoke with Dustin and he gave me all the confidence in the world that his team would be a good fit for us. Cotch and Myong did an excellent job and we just simply love the results! Thank you guys! read more

We were referred to Tidal through our wedding photographers, True Photography and we are SO happy with our wedding video. It makes us cry every time and its the perfect recap of the entire day. Our videographer ( i cant remember his name!) was so sweet and easy to work with. He really did a great job capturing all the special moments. Highly recommend Tidal for your wedding video! read more

Due to COVID, we were unable to have our friends and family present during our ceremony. Being able to capture our special day in not only photos but a video was the best decision we ever made. Tidal was responsive, personable, creative and the video they provided captured ever important moment during our day and beautifully showed the love we share. The video perfectly transitioned through different clips that I never would have imagined was possible. Captivating, stunning, perfection and brought tears to so many eyes....tidal provided us with memories we will have for the rest of our lives! While we likely would have never thought about getting a videographer for our wedding had family and friends attended, looking back if I had a recommendation for anyone on the fence of video, DO IT whether it's a small intimate wedding or a large one and look no further - go with Tidal! You will not be disappointed! read more

WE Love Tidal! Ryan was our videographer for our La Jolla beach wedding in early November. Our wedding got postponed suddenly on the day-of due to a false positive Covid-19 test from someone in the wedding party. We woke on our wedding day and had to cancel everything only to wake up the next day and find out our guest had received a false positive rapid test. He was healthy, but a day later our flowers, make-up, caterer, celebrant, photographer and of course Tidal had moved on to their Monday morning. 5 phone calls later everyone rallied in a moments notice and were ready to rock for our afternoon beach wedding a day late. Ryan dropped everything to be there for us that day and he did a fabulous job. We just received our video and raw footage last week and it's OUTSTANDING! He really went the extra yard not only to be there, but to get to know us as a couple and what makes us ... us! We were mic'ed up and our entire service was shot not to mention the pre-wedding warm-up. The drone was over the top because mother nature was in her glory that afternoon. The footage is unreal and Ryan's eye for details 2nd to none. He's good people and I whole heartedly recommend Tidal Wedding Films for your big day. read more

Tidal Wedding Films is incredible and I would HIGHLY recommend them! Dustin is INCREDIBLE and his personality and work ethic made the entire process so fun and easy. Wedding planning can be stressful, but from my first conversation with Dustin he was easy to communicate, responsive with and super helpful. He has a calming personality and a great sense of humor! I didn't meet Dustin in person until the day of the wedding and he exceeded my expectations. From the moment I met him, I knew the day would be perfect. He and the team came to the bridal suite and just did their thing. I felt like I had met him before and trusted everything he did! Every moment was flawless and they captured EVERYTHING perfectly. They had drone footage, which is pretty awesome too! Originally we had signed the contract for only a highlight video and raw footage....but after the wedding, Dustin sent us a 50 second teaser and it was BEYOND WORDS. After seeing the teaser and highlight video, my husband and I STILL wanted more, so we emailed him asked if he could put together a longer video. About a week later we had over an hour video that I have watched at least 5 times this week! It has everything and more and captured the entire night. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Tidal Wedding Films! I promise you will not be disappointed! read more

I've never been so excited to write a review in my entire life. We hired Tidal Wedding Films for our wedding along with True Photography and it was the best decision we could've made. We were lucky enough to have Ryan as our videographer for our wedding. I cannot stress enough how important it is that your photographers/videographers on your wedding day are just as wonderful as people as they are professional at their job and these two companies are THE DREAM TEAM. Ryan was so fun and encouraging the entire day. He was very professional and smart and had the best eye to make our wedding video perfect. He captured each and every special moment I wanted without me even having to make sure that he did. This team went above and beyond for me. They had worked together before and it showed. Their creativity, eye for perfection, and professionalism are unmatched. Your wedding day truly does go by so incredibly fast and it's important to have those memorable moments captured by professionals who make you feel comfortable so that your video looks like you were simply having the best day of your life without any awkward posing. My husband and I could not have chosen a better person to do our video. People I don't even know (on facebook, thanks mom!) are raving about how well put together it was and we couldn't believe the quality of it! It's so perfectly made and he even caught sweet moments that I wouldn't even have to look back on if he wasn't there. The music choices, transitions, and length of the video were all perfect. I realize I've said perfect more than once but I mean it! Everyone at my wedding was talking about how great our photographers/videographers were. When does that ever happen? Tidal Wedding Films has a team of multiple videographers and I'm sure that anyone from them we would have chosen would have given us these results. But I am biased, so I will say when you book them, and you should like right now...ask for Ryan ;) These are two INCREDIBLE companies and SO EASILY bookable and affordable together and I can't recommend them ENOUGH. While I was looking through vendors and some recommended others it was almost never the same quality of work and it just didn't look like their work would blend well. But no worries with these guys! The perfect match, they meshed SO well and we all had a blast together and I haven't stopped looking at our photos and watching our video since I got them back. Their price is WAY more affordable than most and the quality of work FAR exceeds that price point. If you are looking for pricing that makes sense, and people who care about the quality of their work, your happiness on your wedding day, and feeling confident throughout that entire day and every time you look at memories afterwards, then look no further! read more
