Where do we even start... Jimmy MADE our wedding day. He is kind, supportive, fun, and genuinely a good person. He was a major part of our hype crew on our wedding day. This man is...
TALENTED. We saw one of his wedding videos shot in Sedona and absolutely knew we had to have him as our wedding videographer.
Now onto our wedding video... jaw dropping. Perfect. We could not have asked for anything better. We got all the footage we asked for and more.
We cannot recommend Jimmy and his team more. If you are looking for a wedding videographer, BOOK JNELSON FILMS. You will not regret it. They perfectly captured our wedding day and now we have our videos forever. THANK YOU JIMMY & TEAM!!!!
Jimmy was hands-down our favorite vendor of our entire wedding. Photo and video were the most important vendors of our wedding to us, so we spent a very long time searching all the...
platforms and social media and meeting with people. Jimmy was like the light at the end of the tunnel. He has such an attention to detail and ability to capture little moments in an incredibly impactful way, and the term “wedding videographer” doesn’t even come close to capturing his artistic storytelling abilities. It was important to us to find someone who felt genuine and who we could trust to really see us and our relationship. We could tell that was Jimmy from the first call. His creativity and authenticity is unmatched, and the quality of the footage itself is amazing.
Aside from his filmmaking abilities, Jimmy was also the best presence to have with us on our actual wedding day. He was calm, dependable, kind, and even brought us water and a little fan after our ceremony! Such a small thing but something we’ll always remember, and it just shows how thoughtful he is.
Jimmy truly makes wedding films, not just videos. You can feel the difference when you watch them on his website or Instagram. We feel so lucky to have found him because he really captured the essence of our relationship, and we’re going to cherish our film for the rest of our lives. If you’re a bride or groom agonizing over finding the best, most genuine, and talented filmmaker for your wedding, congrats -- you’ve finally found him!
Jimmy was one the best vendor decisions I made for my wedding! We have gotten endless compliments on our wedding video and I still watch it all the time, many months later. His wor...
k is such high quality that it is on another level from other wedding videos I have seen. It is a true cinematic masterpiece. Jimmy authentically captured every important moment of our wedding and worked seamlessly with our photographer day-of to get the shots they both needed. Most importantly, he added a backup mic to the DJ's equipment during the ceremony -- which actually went out! Most of my vows were missed by the audience, but he still had a perfect, crystal-clear version to use in the video and provide to me afterwards. I am so thankful for his preparation, advice, and talent! Thank you Jimmy!
He is great! We love our video. He went above and beyond for us!
Jimmy was amazing, he created the best wedding video for us and we loved his work! He was responsive when we first began communicating and so friendly to us and our friends and fam...
ily on our big day. Jimmy worked hard to capture so many moments and make sure that he was ready to go with cameras/microphones in place when special moments were occurring. We would love to hire him again!
By the time I found a videographer our budget was tight. Let me tell you when we got our video back, there was no way to tell his work from someone who charges way more. He communi...
cated well and all of the videos turned out amazing! His drone work was the extra piece that put my forest wedding together. He will not disappoint.
I finally have a moment to say thank you so much Jimmy! Our experience with you was wonderful. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your flexibility with working with us. I have...
to share. My dad, a man of very few words, told my mom that he loved the video. He even teared up. At first he didn't understand why I was spending money on a formal video and now I'm sure he can't imagine not having it. Thank you for helping to make our mini covid wedding so special. It was a very hard decision for us to have such a small wedding, but knowing I can share the video with the people I love brings me consolation. Thank you for everything.
For those wondering if you should hire Jimmy, I was in your seat several months ago. I know the stress and anxiety of wedding planning, especially during Covid. You won't be disappointed with working with Jimmy. It was an absolute joy.
Thank you again!
