There are plenty of videographers out there who will try to upsell you on packages you don't need, or overcharge for baseline services. I describe Braven as a hidden hem. His prici...
ng is fair but most of all, his work is absolutely extraordinary. He captured scenes throughout the day that we didn't have the chance to fully enjoy in the moment, and having these films to look back on is the greatest gift of all. It truly feels like we are reliving the day all over again every time we watch. His communication was prompt and clear, and the day-of, we hardly even noticed he was there (in the best way possible). We are endlessly grateful to Braven and his best-in-class team!
I cannot speak highly of Braven and my experience working with him! He was extremely responsive leading up to the wedding day, and made sure to ask all the important questions. It...
put me at ease knowing he truly cared about the outcome. The day of the wedding, he provided enough direction and made sure that every shot was captured. Every single person that interacted with him said the same thing "He really knows what he's doing!" or "He was FANTASTIC. We can't wait to see the final product". The final videos were truly AMAZING. They turned out better than I could've imagined and we felt like he captured everything so perfectly. The shots, the style of filming, and the way it was edited together - all were perfect. Everyone who has seen the final products said the same thing. 12 out of 10!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Braven, who truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we first met with him, we were impressed by his professionalism, creativit...
y, and passion for his work.
On the day of the wedding, Braven was a true professional. He arrived early to ensure that he had plenty of time to set up and get everything in place. Throughout the event, he was constantly on the move, capturing every moment and every detail of the day. He was incredibly creative and had a great eye for capturing the perfect shot.
What really stood out to us was Braven's ability to capture the emotion of the day. He has an incredible talent for capturing the little moments that truly make the day special, from the way that we looked at each other during the ceremony to the way that our friends and family celebrated with us throughout the night.
The quality of Braven's work is truly outstanding. His attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the day is truly remarkable. We will treasure these photos for a lifetime.
Overall, we cannot recommend Braven enough. He is a true professional who is dedicated to his craft and truly cares about his clients. If you are looking for a wedding photographer who is creative, talented, and passionate about his work, Braven is the perfect choice.
Braven and his team were our wedding photographers and videographers. We could not be happier about the quality of the pictures/video that they presented. Braven understood exactly...
what we were looking for in the video and delivered an absolutely beautiful story. He captured the entire energy and romance of that day. Watching the video and looking at our pictures put a huge smile on our faces every time. Thank you so much for your hard work and professionalism!
So happy we had the privilege of working with Braven for our wedding. He made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day and was fun to be around! He worked hand in hand with ou...
r photographer to ensure every moment was captured!
Not only does he have a great personality, but his quality of work is like no other. We are so happy we selected him to film our wedding. The video is such high quality and really recaps the entire day. Our parents have joked saying that the film should be nominated for an Oscar, ha.
He also got all of our films back to us in less than a month! The turnaround timing was so impressive.
We unfortunately had to change our wedding location & date due to COVID, and he was extremely accommodating.
Having a wedding video is worth every penny!!! I could not be happier that we selected Braven to document our special day! Look no further with Carver Weddings - you will not regret it!
I cannot recommend Braven highly enough! We found him from a recommendation of our photographer, Meghan Christine Photography, and from our phone conversations, Braven was polite, ...
responsive and knowledgeable. My father is in the post-production side of the entertainment industry and Braven graciously answered all of my father's continuous questions over the course of the months leading up to the wedding and I am very grateful that he was so patient. We met him day-of the wedding and he couldn't have been nicer. Neither of my husband nor I had ever been professionally recorded before, but he immediately put us at ease and made the whole experience not only comfortable, but a whole heck of a lot of fun too. The final video was amazingly shot and edited and made me cry in the best way possible! We could not be happier with the way that Braven captured many of the special moments from the happiest day of our lives!
Our decision to get a videographer was a little late in the wedding planning, but we could not be happier with the choice we made! Working with Braven was such a pleasure (and comp...
letely stress-free) and he produced an AMAZING product. The highlight reel was so much more than we could have ever imagined and it brought tears to our eyes. The footage was ready for us a little sooner than I had honestly thought, so it was a lovely surprise! So happy to have these incredible memories forever. HIGHLY recommend anyone in the area who is considering a wedding photographer to look into Carver Weddings. You will not be disappointed!
I highly recommend Carver Weddings. They shot our wedding in February of 2017 at the San Juan Capistrano Mission and El Adobe restaurant. I love the movement, voices, and details t...
hat his video adds to my memories. I just rewatched my film after a year and it brought back so many wonderful memories! Braven is very professional, on time, and his product is simply amazing. We had a party to show our wedding photos and our 15 minute cinematic film and he had our guests laughing and crying. He is truly talented and you will be extremely happy with his video to help you remember your special day.
My husband and I were married at The Villa SJC this spring and Carver Weddings did our videography. Braven was laid back, flexible and accommodating. He was friendly and profession...
al, and worked well with our photographer. We adore the video he created and have received many compliments on it from friends and family.
The film is crisp and bright with seamless transitions. Not only did he document the details of our big day, he captured the mood. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed reliving some moments and seeing others for the first time. We will treasure the videos forever. Thank you, Braven!
Braven was really great to work with. He was prompt, never got in the way, and captured some really interesting shots! After we saw the footage, he worked with us on edits and deli...
vered everything in a timely manner; we'd highly recommend him!
Braven and his team shot our wedding in September 2017 at the Bel AIr Bay Club in Los Angeles. We read a wedding tip that said it's a good idea to find a photographer and videograp...
her who work well together. So once we found our photographer, she recommended Braven.
It was clear early on we made a great decision with Braven. He began by conducting a Skype interview so he could to know us and understand our vision. He worked with us on a great package, one that included a second videographer (which we recommend, if you can swing it, because it allowed for more shots that might not have otherwise been captured). We opted for The Feature Package, so we could have a highlight film to post on social media, and a longer version just for us.
On our wedding day, Braven and his team were polite and professional. They worked well with our photographer so it seemed like they were on the same team. Towards the end of the night, Braven grabbed us to do one last shot, which he used to end the film. It turned out incredible and really showed his imagination and passion for his work. Of course, the finished product was amazing. High quality, professional film that even my brother (who's in the film business) was wowed by. We cannot recommend Braven enough.
My wedding video Braven Carver and his team made is my favorite memory! He did an incredible job with our video. Everytime I rewatch it I feel like I’m experiencing my favorite day...
all over again. He captured all of the most important moments. The carver weddings crew were professional, thorough, and creative. If you are looking for an awesome videographer to capture your wedding, make sure to chose Braven!
I’m not usually one to write a review as I’m always pressed for time, but after watching our wedding video yesterday, I just had to endorse Braven’s work so that other soon-to-be-m...
arried couples could share in the pure joy that comes from the magical combination of Braven’s skill, creativity, professionalism and attention to detail. First off, working with Braven was about as easy as it gets - very straightforward, smooth sailing, no gimmicky Wedding BS (which most planning couples are used to by the time they engage a videographer) – such a refreshing experience in the chaos that is wedding planning. Prior to booking Braven, we had watched a bunch of his spotlight films and it was obvious that he has a natural talent for capturing the couple’s unique style – our own video could not have proved this point any better. Day-of, Braven was so perfect to work with. That said, I was not a controlling bride, I just respect the experts and let them do their thing. Now, I don’t know film editing terminology, but Braven’s choice of camera angles, music, frame speeds, clip selections, and whatever else is in his bag of tricks – it all came together perfectly in a beautiful masterpiece that will forever be treasured HIGHLY Recommend going with Braven!!
Our video: https://youtu.be/ItIGivR7zAs
Holy Moly, Braven is just INCREDIBLE!!! He videographed our wedding on 9/2/17. He is a true artist with true talent!! I was not sure about having a videographer for the wedding, bu...
t hands down, this was the best decision!! The wedding video is like a mini-movie!!! My husband and I were SO impressed with Braven's final product. Everyone who sees it, comments on how fantastic it is. He was able to capture the essence of the day, which shows his true talent.
Leading up to the day and day of, Braven was very professional, easy to talk to, and you could tell was true to his word. He was just fun to be around, too! Your photographer and videographer are let in on such intimate moments on the big day, that I could imagine it could feel awkward. But with Braven, my husband and I never felt awkward. Braven made us feel so comfortable and was present for all the important moments, but not obtrusive at all!!! This was important to us because we had been to weddings where the videographer was somewhat intrusive. Braven was the opposite, but still captured EVERY moment.
Braven is phenomenal and if you are debating whether or not to get a videographer, I would say it was some of the best money we spent!
I watched probably 50 wedding videos before selecting Braven as my videographer. The quality of his work is far better than any others I've seen. He spent 10 hours filming every de...
tail of our wedding day and the finished product is everything we hoped it would be. Our friends rave about how great his work is. Braven is highly recommended!
I am so glad I made the decision to hire Braven to capture our special day. He is flexible and easy to work with and is so incredibly talented. Our wedding video turned out bette...
r than I could ever have imagined!
Before getting married on 7/30/16, I watched quite a few wedding videos. I fell in love with Braven's style of videography after watching just one video on his website. The light...
ing was so clear the video scenes were never jerky or rushed. From the beginning, Braven was quick to communicate. After meeting in person, it was clear that he loves his job. He has a genuineness in personality and passion for filming and editing, which was important to me because I wanted a videographer who wasn't jaded in this fast-paced wedding industry.
On the day of the wedding, Braven came on time and worked flawlessly with my photographer. I really liked how he got so many shots of my friends and family, as well as those romantic moments with my husband to be!
Bottom Line: I've edited a few videos myself, so I can truly appreciate all the work Braven put into making our wedding video so beautiful. It made me laugh and it made me cry. He incorporated all of our favorite songs and I am just so happy with the outcome. :) Braven is a great person to work with and he is worth your investment for your wedding. Thank you Braven for our wedding video and we recommend Braven wholeheartedly!
I can't say enough good things about Braven. Super easy to work with, responded promptly to all inquiries, addressed any and all questions/concerns we had, and the final product w...
as excellent quality. We have tons of photos and keepsakes from that day, but the video is our absolute favorite! It puts me right back in those moments. Well worth it!!
Braven was absolutely amazing! From being easy to get in contact with, being punctual the day of, and creating a beautiful wedding film, Braven is definitely one of the best in the...
business! He is well worth his fees! His editing skills are phenomenal and he definitely captured my big day from start to finish. I could watch my video all day and never get bored. Braven was amazing to work with, my vendors, bridal party and guests all had wonderful things to say about him. I highly recommend Braven!!!
Braven was absolutely amazing. Our wedding video is better than I could have imagined it would be. I wasn't going to hire a videographer, but about a month out we changed our minds...
. Luckily, Braven was available. He capture EVERY detail of our wedding day - more details than I thought there even were. I hoarded our wedding video for about 2 weeks before I shared it with our family because every time I went to share it, I just watched it again. He was super professional and so much fun to work with. Braven even walked through the back alleys with us so we could get some really awesome shots. I love our video and I'm so glad we decided to go with Braven.
I love my wedding video! You will want to watch your video over and over again. Braven is a true artist, he really knows what he is doing. He is very professional and worked well w...
ith the photographers. Overall made the day less stressful. The quality of Braven Carter films are amazing and very well priced. Definitely would hire him all over again.
We were overwhelmed when trying to find a videographer because we weren't sure what to look for as we shopped. We liked the video examples Braven had on his website so we decided t...
o go with him, which now we know was absolutely the right choice! Braven was very comfortable at the wedding with what he was doing, and I could tell it wasn't his first rodeo. He was great to instruct us on what to do and when... not to mention all the fantastic candid clips. So that was the wedding day... he seemed to be great, but how would we really know until we saw his work?! Well, once we received our wedding video all put together, we were ecstatic!! The way he placed the music we wanted and strategically put in all the clips was perfect. I'm so glad we decided to go with the longer video (about 16 min) because our special day is now gone... after countless hours of planning, preparing, and executing... all gone. The pictures are also wonderful to have, but the video is extraordinary! To have everything put to music, and something we can look back on over and over, is truly a treasure (I've already watched it about 100 times since we received it a few weeks ago). Many people who've seen it say they can't believe how awesome it is and wish they had something like that of their wedding! I would hands down recommend Braven! He's an amazing artist! You won't be disappointed!
I had to convince my groom that a videographer was worth it when we were planning our wedding, but after getting our film back from Braven, my husband absolutely agrees that this w...
as a necessity! Braven and his assistant were great to work with on the wedding day, getting every shot they needed without needing any direction or ever getting in the way of festivities. Professionalism at its finest. And our video is beyond amazing! The quality of work is flawless and our memories of our wedding are captured perfectly. Watching it felt like being there again. If you're considering a videographer, hire Braven Carver. You will be so happy you did!
Braven was the absolute best videographer for our wedding!! He was recommended to us by our venue's coordinator and we could not be more happy we took the recommendation! Braven ...
was incredibly nice, professional and a wonderful addition to the day. He captured every moment so beautifully but was completely unobtrusive throughout the day. Our wedding video is absolutely gorgeous. He really got all the important people, moments, energy and emotions and turned them into a perfect memory for us and our families! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone!
We booked Braven less than a month before our wedding and luckily he had availability. We were unsure if we wanted to book a videographer, but it was such a great decision. He cap...
tured so many great moments and was a joy to be around at our wedding. He is very responsive and turns around your video in no time at all. We will forever cherish this video and all of the great memories provides!
When my husband and I were planning our wedding, we were originally a bit indecisive about whether we should hire a videographer. After experiencing my wedding day and having Brave...
n as our videographer, I can absolutely say that hiring Braven was one of the best decisions we made. Braven was referred to us through our wedding venue, The Villa in San Juan Capistrano. We researched several options and watched countless wedding videos and were most pleased with Braven. As soon as we met him, we could see that he was very easy going, which was a must for my husband and I. At the same time, he is professional, responsive and extremely helpful. The day of our wedding, we shot our couple photos / video at the Mission in San Juan Capistrano. Braven was a huge help. He knew every cool spot to shoot both our photos and video, which was great for time management and maximizing our photo shoot locations. We were also very impressed that although he had several cameras set up during our wedding/ reception, and was videoing every moment, you hardly noticed that he was there. He created a relaxed environment for us where we were able to just be in the moment and enjoy ourselves. For those of you who have not yet been married, your wedding day is truly one of the most amazing days of your life. The emotions and feelings you experience are unlike any other, and are in ways indescribable. When we first watched our wedding video, it immediately took me back to my wedding day and all of the many incredible emotions I felt. I was crying, laughing, reminiscing, and was overwhelmed with the deepest happiness that I could relive my wedding day for the rest of my life, thanks to Braven’s amazing work. He is creative, passionate and extremely talented. He is also so thoughtful in his process. When watching our video it is very apparent that he really captured who we are and edited our video based on our personalities. Our experience with Braven went seamlessly and he captured every essence of our wedding day to perfection. Thank you Braven…we couldn’t be happier with our videos.
We are truly happy with the wedding film that Braven did for us. He captured all of the special moments during our wedding and reception in a way that also reflected our personali...
ties. Not only did Braven film our special event, but he also has great editing skills. He produced a final product that we are very satisfied with. Its great to watch and relive our wedding day. We would recommend Braven to anyone that is planning their wedding.
Braven was our videographer for our wedding in 2011 at Franciscan Gardens in San Juan Capistrano, California. He had a very professional and serving attitude. He also came early an...
d went above and beyond our expectations. The day of our wedding, he was practically invisible, but got every shot possible! The video turned out great, with beautiful editing done! And he had an extremely fast turn around. We would highly recommend Braven to any couple getting married.
Braven came highly recommended by our DJ Dean... who was also excellent... We really wanted a videographer because pictures do not always capture everything... and watching videos ...
is always fun...Braven was very professional and dedicated himself for the entire day and even extra hours... He really went the extra mile to make sure we were satisfied... He not only created/edited a wonderful video he also included some extras that we had requested in advance... Braven has the eye for capturing the moment and also captured the essence of the day.... He was also really economical which was a big plus for me... Thank you Braven!!
Braven was nothing short of amazing in all regards. He was very easy to work with and give ideas to regarding some locations and events we wanted captured for our big day. His deve...
lopment of video and sounds were incredible in fully embodying our big day. My wife and I have watched out video over and over and are so grateful for Braven's talents. Thank you so much for the memories.
We have referred him to at least 4 other friends who have used him for their big day. Wish we could give 10 stars.
I highly recommend Braven as your videographer. He does absolutely beautiful work!! We weren’t sold on doing the video of our wedding but when I saw what Braven produced, I knew we...
made the right decision! We like our video even more than our photos (which turned out great, too ) Before the wedding he was always easy to get hold of and answered questions very quickly. During the wedding, I didn’t even notice him and after the wedding he was just as responsive and timely.
I can’t say enough good things about Braven and his work! Book him!!
Braven and his team were such a pleasure to work with! He captured our real life wonderful memories of our wedding that my husband and I will be able to relive over and over again....
After my friend had Braven as her videographer, I knew there was no way I could get married without him there! There was no question. All I had to do was show one of his previous weddings and I had sold my family completely. The video he creates is worth every penny, completely priceless.
He communicated clearly, understood my bridezilla moments, and listened to the requests of our family. If you are looking for a videographer that is professional and UNBELIEVABLY good at what he does, then you should definitely go with Braven, you will not regret it!
Braven is a professional from start to finish. He met with us prior to the wedding and went over everything clearly. During the wedding he filmed everything we needed and more. Aft...
er we received exceptionally produced videos including the full ceremony, toasts and a beautiful cinematic short movie of our day. My wife just showed the short to a friend of hers and it actually moved her to tears. I can't recommend Braven enough!
Braven Carver and his videography are phenomenal! From our first conversation to the final film product, Braven was kind, creative, passionate, reliable, and a joy to work with! Br...
aven captured our wedding day and our love story impeccably!
Working with Braven was a delight! He made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. His energy was just the right amount of celebratory fun and calm professionalism. Braven worked well with our photographer, following her lead, but taking initiative to get the shots he needed and wanted. While meeting with Braven prior to our wedding, he made us feel heard and valued. He understood our vision for our wedding day and captured the spirit of our celebration.
Not only was working Braven a blast, but his work speaks for itself- AMAZING. We LOVE the quality, creativity, and emotion of our wedding film! Artistically, the movement and variation in shots and audio quality make his films surpass the rest! One of the things we loved the most about Braven’s work is the way he incorporates audio clips of voices- vows, letters, and toasts. Every time we watch our wedding film I am brought to tears by the sound of our voices and our loved ones’ voices on our wedding day. It was also special to be able to share Braven’s film with our family and friends who were unable to attend our wedding. He captured every moment perfectly so that our out-of-town guests could relive our wedding day for themselves. Priceless! We are obsessed with our wedding film and look forward to viewing it for years to come!
Wedding planning can be astronomically stressful and expensive! My husband and I vacillated on how necessary it really was to hire a wedding videographer. The reality is you don’t NEED a wedding film in order to get married. However, a professional cinematic film of your wedding is one of the only tangible ways to hold on to the memories, details, people, voices, and emotion of the most important day of your life. Braven’s work captured our love in a way photography and mere memories could not. Our wedding film is a lifelong investment and treasure that we will hold dear for a lifetime! We HIGHLY recommend Braven Carver Films to capture your love story! You will not regret it!!!
Not only is a wedding film worth it, but Braven Carver Films are of especially good value. Other wedding videographers can be quite pricey and you receive a short 3-5 minute video of your whole wedding day- hard to justify that kind of cost for such a short product. However, Braven’s films are the best value out there- and that sets him apart from the rest. One of the things my husband and I loved the most about Braven’s work is the cinematic length of his films, upwards of 15+ minutes! You get the biggest bang for your buck with Braven Carver Films!
Words cannot fully express our gratitude for Braven and his talent, creativity, and hard effort producing our wedding film! We will enjoy his work for years and years to come! A priceless treasure! Braven truly went above and beyond what we could have ever imagined! Exceeded our wildest expectations! Thank you SO much, Braven!
Braven Carver films is world class videography. This company is easy to work with, professional in their approach, and extremely creative. We would use them again, every time.
Braven and his team did an amazing job as our videography team at our wedding! We had a rough time with wedding planning, including the loss/sale of our venue site just 8 weeks bef...
ore our wedding (we were lucky enough to move it to another amazing spot in time!). Braven's team was flexible and accomodating, and took changes in stride.
The final result was better than we could have hoped for. Our Same Day Edit came out perfect- our wedding guests LOVED it and it was a great way to relive the day (which of course flew by!) before the reception was over. The short and long films we received after the wedding were great too- it captured the character and style of our wedding (and us), providing us with a great way to look back on our wedding day memories.
We are so thankful to Braven and his team for their hard work and beautiful product!
We are so grateful for Braven's talent and professionalism! We have a beautiful video of our special day that documents all of the important moments and even the tiniest details! B...
raven has an eye for beautiful shots and is timely in his communication and completion of his work. He did an incredible job and he worked well with our photographer making sure that he wasn't interfering with their work either!
Braven Carver was our wedding videographer and truly captured our most special moments of the day in a beautiful way. He managed to be both a joy to have around and also blend in w...
ith our guests so as not to be distracting (no easy feat carrying camera equipment!).
Braven captured the stand-out moments of our wedding day and the spirit of each of those moments. He has a creative eye and seemed to always know where to be to get the best shot. He sees the beauty in people and places and has found a stunning way to translate that in his work.
You will love working with Braven and the way he captures your wedding. He also follows through with timelines, honors contracts, and works quickly and efficiently to get your video back to you.
We have family out of state who was unable to attend the wedding, and they later said they felt like they were present with us because of the quality and personal touches in the video Braven created. We will treasure this video for the rest of our lives.
Braven is a consummate professional who clearly values customer service and providing quality personal experiences. I would recommend him to anyone and am confident that he will exceed all expectations.
Braven was excellent! I had gotten referred to him by a friend of mine. I had seen her video and I knew I needed to have one. That was something I just had to spend the money on an...
d it was worth every penny and more! He was also so great during our reception. Our day of planner just left and we didn't have any direction on what to do next and between him and my photographer they stepped in and got the things done we needed! He was also so easy to be around. It was wonderful to have all the special moments captured. He is super creative in his editing , my in laws saw the video and every time we watch it it makes them cry! We got to pick all our music and it was even more perfect than i imagined. We still watch our video all the time! Best choice/money we spent. It is something I cannot wait to show our future children. :)
Hiring a videographer wasn't something I had initially considered when I began planning my wedding. However, after viewing a few wedding films (on various wedding blogs), videogra...
phy slowly became something I had to have. I found Braven through some mutual friends, and after checking out his blog and all the great work that he does, we went ahead and booked him. To say that I am beyond thrilled with our wedding film is an understatement! I know that this is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives, and will one day show our grandchildren. Videography provides something extra that photography doesn't, and I highly recommend Braven to anyone planning their wedding.
My daughter and I had a lot of different emotions regarding hiring a videographer. Our great friends referred us to Braven. What a wonderful decision that was! We immediately felt ...
a sincere connection with Braven. he listened to what we didn't like in videographers and what we wanted. He and his team were both very professional and very talented! Very soon after the wedding we received the video from Braven. The family got together to watch it and it was better then we could have even imagined! It brought back all of those magical moments, laughter, joyful tears and even gave us each Goosebumps! Braven created a wonderful memory for all of us! I would highly recommend Braven to all of my close friends and family . Enjoy your wedding...the day goes by so fast its great to have a beautiful video! I have three more weddings to go and he will be invited to video tape each one!
Braven is a childhood friend of mine, but our friendship was not the reason why I decided to choose him as our videographer, it was his incredible work! Braven met with us prior t...
o signing a contract to make sure he could provide me with exactly I was looking for within my budget. Ont he day of the wedding, Braven went above and beyond my expectations to capture every detail and special memory of my wedding- from getting ready, to the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception! He was always getting footage, but never in the way! Our video is going to be incredible!
