Aaron was beyond amazing to work with for our wedding! He was the first vendor we hired and from our very first meeting together, I felt so at ease and knew that we would be in goo...
d hands with him. He was kind, thoughtful, and helpful throughout the entire process and it was evident he is passionate about what he does. He and his wife both were with us on our wedding day and they went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, taken care of, and able to make the most of our day. It was so special waking up the next morning to our teaser video and we have watched it on repeat since then while waiting for our full film. 10000% would recommend Aaron for anyone’s wedding video needs 🫶🏼🥹

Choosing Aaron Datu to video my wedding day was one of the easiest and most confident decisions I made throughout the wedding planning process. After our first time meeting togethe...
r for me to simply inquire about his services, I knew his sweet personality and talented productions needed to be included in my wedding day. If I had the chance to give 6 starts for this review, I would, because Aaron really goes above and beyond in every way. Before our wedding, we met a couple of times to discuss my vision and to go through the schedule of the big day. He also scheduled a few shoots to take place during the engagement process, so we cold document a few date nights. Looking back, I am so thankful my husband and I will have those clips to reminisce on as well as our wedding day. When July 16, the day we had anticipated finally hit, Aaron and his sweet wife were the perfectly efficient and calming duo to accompany my bridal party and I throughout the day. The Datus together were incredibly easy going, readily helpful, surprisingly calm and simply amazing. The morning after the wedding, I had an email from him with a short little teaser video. What a sweet surprise this was for my new husband and I to watch just hours after the event and for us to showcase at the brunch we hosted that morning. Since then, so many people have asked about my videographer and I certainly only have good things to say about him. From his genuine and kind personality to his intricate and unique talent - he is definitely one of kind and highly recommenced for any video graphing needs. :)
From the moment we first watched some of his films, we knew we had to have Aaron as our videographer! His storytelling through video had so much emotion and love. Throughout the wh...
ole planning process, he always checked in with us, was extremely accommodating, and always gave a helping hand with whatever was needed. Not only is he an extremely talented videographer, but he is an exceptionally kind person. The day of our wedding, he brought a lot of fun and showed so much genuine happiness and excitement for us. Both our friends and family raved about how kind, professional, and overall amazing he was. The day after, Aaron sent us a teaser video of our wedding day, bringing tears to everyone eyes with how beautiful it was, and now everyone can't wait to see the full video. We cannot recommend Aaron enough, for capturing our day and all the special moments that were had! We will forever cherish all the memories made with him, and consider him an integral part of our day, and now a great friend.
My husband and I hired Aaron as our videographer and cannot say enough amazing things about working with him! We found him randomly through social media and felt the love and emoti...
on in his films immediately so we decided to reach out. It was such a good decision! We are so grateful we got to book Aaron Datu Films. Aaron is extremely supportive, hands-on, and caring during the whole wedding planning process. He made sure to set up meetings regularly so he could understand the vision of our wedding and always checked in with us to see how he could help us through anything wedding related. It was so helpful to have someone who knew so much about this process help us figure out scheduling and timing. And on top of all that, Aaron is such a ridiculously talented videographer! He truly has a gift for capturing raw emotion and making something beautiful that reflects the feelings and love tied to your day. During the wedding planning process, my husband and I kept saying “wow I can’t believe we got to book such a talented videographer, our video is going to be so amazing” and we were right. Our video is absolutely beautiful and we feel extremely grateful we got to work with Aaron and his amazing wife (his second shooter)! They made us feel so comfortable and we got to have FUN with them! We cannot recommend enough. Seriously. Book with Aaron Datu Films if you get the chance. You will be so thankful you did.

Aaron is amazing, if you’re debating on booking with him or just booking a videographer at all, I highly highly recommend. You won’t regret it!

n’t see is how they will help throughout the wedding process, interact with guests, and see the important details of the day. Aaron was the complete package! He really wanted to get to know my husband and I to really learn what was important to us and capture our love story. You can truly see that he’s so passionate about capturing memories and stories that you can look back on for years to come. We got so many compliments from our guests about him and they hadn’t even seen his work yet! He’s just a great human being. Aaron will capture your day in a way that’s better than you could ever dream! His work is so stunning and our memories with him as a person will stay close to our heart forever!

o highlight that during our wedding within the video - also had a preview video ready for us to see by the time we woke up the next day. It is no secret he is a hard worker and takes pride in his work. His shots are so unique and the video he creates will blow you away!!
