Daniel Gruen Weddings

We used Daniel as our wedding videographer in June 2015 and could not have been more pleased with the result. We were really happy with his process when it came to planning what we wanted in our video, communication before the event, timeliness and presence on the day of the wedding, and communication afterwards. The only thing that wasn't 100% as expected was that we did have to wait longer than the original timeframe to receive our video, but we told him we were happy to have him take his time rather than rush to put together a lower quality product. We spent a long time looking for a videographer whose style matched what we were looking for (they all seem to do things a little differently) and when we got our video back we were thrilled to see that it matched the style of what we had seen in the videos he has on his website, while still managing to be original and unique to our wedding. Overall we couldn't have been happier with our choice to use Daniel and would recommend him 120%. A wedding video is a special investment and hiring Daniel was one of the best decisions we made in order to preserve our day just the way we remembered it.

Daniel Gruen was such an outstanding vendor. His communication was excellent from start to finish, and it's clear that he really enjoys and cares about his work. He made an effort to get to know my husband and I and talk to us about what we wanted to focus on with the videography for our wedding. He and Franz were excellent on the day of the wedding. They were very stealth in their capturing of our day - it was amazing watching the footage back. They are so talented. Watching the finished product back made me so thankful that we had chosen Daniel to do videography as he captured many little moments that weren't covered in our wedding photos or simply cannot be captured in the same way in just a photo. To top it off, Daniel is simply an incredibly nice person. Using Daniel Gruen Weddings for videography was definitely one of the best choices we made with our wedding.

We absolutely loved our feature film and edits to our ceremony and reception! We found Daniel through a Style Me Pretty wedding feature that we loved and after viewing his past videos, researching other videographers, and meeting with Daniel in person, we knew he was the right fit. He was responsive from the very beginning to after the wedding and his team on the day of were fantastic! Even after the delivery of our video, he followed up multiple times to see if we loved it, if there were any changes we might want, and overall ensure our 100% satisfaction! I highly recommend Daniel Gruen Weddings for anyone's special day.

Absolutely worth the money spent! I don't remember what the total we ended up with, but I do remember it was very reasonable compared to other videographers we were researching. And, to be honest, we loved Daniel's style more than others that were charging more! His videos are polished and beautifully edited, but they have a realness and personality that I thought other videographers lacked. I think I watched every short film on his site because I liked them all so much! I felt like Daniel took the time before the wedding to get to know us, he had a form for us to fill out to personalize our short film (ie: music preferences) and he threw in little extras for us throughout the process. He and his team were so wonderful to work with before, during and after the wedding. Hands down one of my favorite purchases for the wedding and highly recommend to anyone in the Bay Area!

We used Daniel for our wedding day and I will say up until we spoke to him this was the scariest part was trying to find an affordable videographer who wants to capture every moment of your special day as much as we did. I looked all over and came across him through wedding wire, I emailed him and he got backed to me right away. He worked with us to make sure we got what we wanted in our budget but while still getting a top quality film. He asked us questions and had us fill out questionnaires to ensure they included everything we wanted. He gave me the crews contact and made sure we knew who and what to expect with the film crew. He let us know up front it would take 4-6 months to get our film back and we agreed. Yes we were super impatient and wanted it right away but I can say so worth the wait. Everything was amazing, he sent a package with popcorn to enjoy and recommended low lights and wine while watching it together for the first time. He has remained so professional and helpful through out this whole process and still continues to answer my questions and help me months after the wedding. We really appreciate everything he has done and love his work! Thanks again Daniel!

In a time of ever changing social media, we are saturated with videos that are momentary for a couple of reasons: most are amateur phone recordings lacking any sense of quality to be recognized beyond the initial viewing, and in the time it takes to watch one video, a dozen more recent ones have populated our newsfeed. Clearly, when planning our wedding we sought someone who has the talent to transcend this modern dilemma and create an everlasting memory. Daniel did an amazing job capturing our wedding day and providing us with a timeless account! We absolutely love our wedding video and how he was able to tell our story. The video not only captures the emotions and events of the wedding but also presents them in a way that allows for our loved ones and us to cherish that special day. Because of the excellent cinematography, editing, and music selection, we enjoy watching the video over and over without it losing its appeal. We will definitely have amazing memories from our special day and be able to look back on them thanks to him! When we were initially searching for a cinematographer for our wedding, we wanted someone with a more hands off approach and style that would blend well with our documentary style photographer. Daniel came very highly recommended! He and his team are very professional and worked well with our two photographers. It is very obvious that Daniel is passionate about his work and wants to deliver the best possible product that he can! He definitely did not disappoint. We enthusiastically recommend Daniel Gruen! His work has provided us with memories of our wedding to last a lifetime.

We love our wedding video! Daniel did an amazing job. He was very professional and we hardly even realized he was filming us! Thanks Daniel for capturing our special day!

Daniel was great to work with! He captured our special day beautifully and made us feel completely at ease. He was super flexible as things on the day of shifted around. We would definitely recommend him!

We found Daniel relatively last minute (a few months before the wedding) and Daniel himself was actually booked that day but he sent two excellent associates to film the wedding. We actually never met in person but that was never an issue as he was extremely responsive on the phone and over email to our preferences in shooting style (less intrusive without interviewing people). The final videos were exceptional as both of our parents loved them. His services were very modestly priced especially considering the superb quality of the final product. Thanks again for such great service!!

Daniel did an absolutely wonderful job on our wedding video. He was so enthusiastic and made us feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. We looked at almost every videographer in the Bay Area and Napa Valley to find the best quality for the best price. Daniel was an easy choice. We loved his style and could tell how truly talented he was just from watching a few of the trailers of other weddings he had posted. He captured every single moment beautifully and didn't miss a beat. We could not have possibly been happier with Daniel and highly recommend him to anyone!

Daniel did a great job of capturing our wedding day and provided us with some wonderful memories. We met Daniel a few months before the wedding and spent some time discussing our likes, dislikes, and his general videography style. Daniel was very enthusiastic about our wedding day and was always responsive when we had any questions. He was also easy to work with in deciding the music to accompany the video. Once we received the final product we were more than happy with the results and were amazed how inconspicuous he had been during the ceremony and reception. We don't remember him being around us so much, and that's a testament to his talent and professionalism. We definitely recommend Daniel - thank you!

Daniel came highly recommended to me, and the moment we first began discussing his role in our wedding, I understood why. Daniel is a true professional and a master of his craft. Although he was our sole videographer on our wedding day, he somehow managed to be everywhere, capturing the essence, the joy, the beauty of each memory and moment; and he did so without drawing any attention to himself. In this manner he was able to capture the intimate and beautiful footage of our wedding, drawing the viewer into each moment. Throughout our communication leading up to and proceeding our wedding, Daniel was always prompt in his responses and he was completely willing to work with us to meet our needs. When we received our completed package, our already heightened expectations were once again exceeded. Not only was his packaging beautiful, but his editing of both our 5 minute reel and 1 hour reel was done in a way that artistically wove our chosen soundtrack with his footage, the final result being a video that we will cherish forever. I would strongly recommend Daniel Gruen Weddings...he is a must have on your list of wedding vendors for your big day!
