We cannot thank David and his team enough for the incredible work they have done for us. The film took us on a ride of laughing our hearts out, shedding happy tears and taking a trip down the memory lane. It's our forever treasure chest filled ...
with our love story, amazing friendships and family. We are so in love with the way David tells our story and how he ties it all together with the golden hour shots of Big Sur, the whimsical music, the convos that highlights our personalities, blends of short and long shots - the entire film from beginning to finish took us back to that unforgettable day and left us overwhelmed with all the emotions flooding back. David and his team just get us! It was so easy to work with everyone and we are so lucky to have found Estrella Films as our videographer. Thank you guys a million times. If you are looking to create the most unique, aesthetic and personalized memory for your big day, this is the team!

Thank you so much for the review Ella! I'm so glad you and Luke treasure all the memories we were able to capture for you in the film. That's what it's all about!
Wow! Can’t say how happy we are that we chose Estrella Films! From the moment we found them, we knew we would not regret it! I believe we selected the Moments package & it did not disappoint. We laughed and cried watching the video; it was so s...

Thank you so much for the kind words Colleen! You guys deserve it! It was such a pleasure putting your film together. I definitely cried a couple of times during the editing process, haha! I don't know how anyone can watch your heart warming lo...
ve for each other and not get emotional. You and Gabe have something truly special and I'm so happy for you both. Thanks again!!
My husband and I just received our wedding video yesterday evening and we have been blown away. The quality of the video was incredible and checked every box possible for us. It highlighted every expectation we had and more! I cried watching th...
e whole video. We selected the moments package that includes a 1 hour long video. As a couple, we value memories and we watched to re-watch the footage just like we were reliving the day and to show our future kids one day. The video allowed us to completely relive each moment of our day and it was truly the best as your wedding day flies by. The film allowed us to relive our experience in a slow motion version and allowed us to embrace that day even more. I cried the whole time haha. I would book them over and over again. They were responsive, personal, and we did not have to worry about not receiving or footage late. I haughty recommended Estrella Films, thank you.

Thank you so much Jordin! You and Shane were so fun to work with and I'm so glad that you loved your film. I'm super happy with how it all came together. I know you guys will have a strong and lasting marriage. I wish you all the best!
Any questions?
My husband and I just received our wedding videos and they are truly amazing. David and his team did an incredible job capturing the day and we are so happy that we get to relive it all over again. You can tell there was a lot of time and thoug...
htfulness that went into choosing the shots to use, the music and the quality of the cameras. Do yourself a favor and hire this amazing team for your big day! We highly recommend getting the moments video and not just the highlight. We got to see all of the beautiful moments happening around us and shots that were not filmed on people's iphones. We will cherish these videos forever. Also, upgrade the drone footage. Those were some of our favorite shots and captured our venue and guests so well. Thank you again to Estrella Films for everything!
David was so great to work with on our wedding day, and the three videos he made for us are just breathtaking. We are SO glad we chose him (and included the drone service as well) to commemorate our day. We've shared the videos with family memb...
ers who weren't able to be there, all of who have cried and said they felt like they were there with us. The most special keepsake that perfectly captured the best day of our lives—we'll treasure these videos forever! Highly recommend David to anyone in the area.
We used David Estrella to film the wedding of our son and daughter in law. COVID caused us to have to reschedule in 2020 - Even though it was early in the pandemic, David was entirely gracious, agreeing to reschedule with no added costs. (At...
that early stage of COVID, not all vendors were as kind).
The rescheduled wedding was held in May, 2021. Like all wedding professionals, David was very busy but made our special day work. We were honestly kind of nervous because all through the wedding we felt like we never saw David or his team. Then, after the wedding, we have to wait.
Low and behold, David delivered the most amazing and wonderful video's. the drone video, the candid shots, the way the big moments were captured - it left me in tears all over again.
I can't say enough positive about David Estrella and the video he produced for us!

Thank you Nate for bringing us on for your son’s wedding. It was an honor to capture those moments for your family. I’m so glad it allowed you all to relive the day!
Sincerely,
David
While they are called “Estrella Films” they should be “Estrellas Films”. Plural for stars because of all the stars I would give them in this review.
My husband and I were absolutely taken back by the videos produced by this lovely couple. Est...
rella Films went above and beyond in every aspect.
Communication, friendliness, timeliness, and quality. They were so fun and easy to work with on our special day.
We now have something to look back on for the rest of our lives. Those memories are priceless and we cannot express our gratitude enough for the opportunity to look back at them anytime.
If you are looking for a videographer it would be a mistake to not choose Estrella Films to capture those special moments in your life.
I loved working with David, he is incredibley talented and everything went smoothly.
