John Arriola Films

John Arriola was absolutely great to work with leading up to, at our wedding, and afterwards! He and his team are super sweet, honest, kind, and accommodating. His work is great!. He captured everything we wanted in our wedding video. Thanks for capturing our wedding day! I recommend his services and don't regret it! Thanks John

My photographer had recommended John when I asked her who she trusted most for a wedding film - I am so glad I went with her recommendation! John was an absolute pleasure to work with & made the whole process a breeze. The end result was an AMAZING film that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

John is wonderful! We loved our wedding film and really glad we hired only the BEST! With our busy schedules with school and work, John always made an effort to meet at times that worked for us. We truly appreciate all of his hard work and will cherish the beautiful moments he captured of our wedding day for years to come!

John was amazing! He was with us from the early morning all the way until the wedding ended. It was pretty pricey but it was well worth the peace of mind knowing that we were going to have a great result. We also got our photobooth through him which was AMAZING as well. He worked with everything that I envisioned and I can't wait to see the final product!!

If you are looking for someone to capture timeless memories, John and his wife are the absolutely the best! Our carnival engagement film captured great memories and we had such a fun time while filming. John and his wife are so easy to get to know, and they had our best interest at heart. I would definitely recommend John Arriola Films for anyone who is looking for great quality and it's worth every penny!!

If I could John 10 stars I would. This man made our wedding a truly special day. Our wedding coverage can make me cry each time I watch it, it takes someone very special with great talent to make this kind of magic happen! Not only is he talented in what he does, but he is truly such a nice person! John made us very comfortable, like we knew him for years! You can feel the passion in his videos! I highly recommend John to all the future Brides out there! Worth every penny, these wedding memories will last a lifetime, go big or go home! Thank you again John, for being apart of our special day!!

I had no words when I saw our engagement video, I had tears running down my face. John and his wonderful wife captured all the quirky and loving moments perfectly. They were able to get to know us as a couple before our shoot. They were so attentive to us. I am simply amazed with their creativity! I would highly recommend John Arriola films to every couple who want to have their love story perfectly captured in such a natural and relaxed environment. I felt so comfortable with John and so did my fiancé. We are so happy with our save the date. Thank u again to John and Brenda. U guys had me in tears!!!

My daughter was not so sure she wanted to have a film made of her wedding, but as soon as she saw John"s work during our first meeting, she was completely sold on the idea. John delivered a beautiful memory to us which my daughter and her husband are going to cherish for many years. The film is amazing! We are so happy we chose John for this job

From the day Steven and I were engaged we knew, without any doubt, that capturing our wedding day was essential for us. What we didn’t realize at the time was that there would be endless planning and preparing or that the day would come faster than we realized! By the time we knew it, we were taking a deep breathe, feeling our hearts pound with excitement as we prepared to meet at the wedding mass and in the blink of an eye, the day would pass us by. When we first saw John’s work, we were certain that we wanted to work with him. What we didn’t expect was the relationship we would form. The way he would find a way to not only capture every beautiful detail of our endless planning, but also how he reached somewhere within and interpreted the emotion behind everything that day meant. Every tear, every smile, joyous laughter, dancing, family, friends, fireworks and all the love that filled our day, he told our story! John Arriola Films is unlike any other wedding cinematography in the business and his work clearly speaks for itself! He has mastered the art of piecing every essential part of the puzzle together in such a manner that is beautifully special. This is your wedding day, the start to a blessed union, the beginning of your marriage and although it is “just” the start, it is a memory that you hope to someday share with your children, your family. Although pictures can say a thousand words, there is something to be said about the art of cinematography and how that, in itself, says it all! We wanted the story of our wedding day and John Arriola Films delivered more than anything we could have every put together in our imaginations. Although we did have the privilege of working with John on our engagement film, which we shared with our family and friends on our wedding day (it was a BIG hit!), seeing the short film and feature film were a beautiful blend of everything we experienced on our wedding day. It filled our hearts with so much joy and brought tears to our eyes to look back on that special day and be able to share all the things that passed us by so quickly on that day. What was most special was that we would have these extraordinary films to share with our loved ones just as we had wished. John Arriola was a delight to work with, his professionalism was undeniable and his work ethic speaks for itself. We were blessed to have had the opportunity to have him capture our entire journey. We knew we wanted someone to help us remember our beautiful wedding, instead we got John who masterfully told our story and reminded us of the eternal love that transpired through every bit of our journey. For that John, we are beyond thankful! We love you and your work! -Sandra and Steven Yarrison

From the moment you meet John you can tell he's very passionate about his work. After seeing his work and meeting him I knew I had to have him capture my wedding. He's extremely easy to work with you won't be disappointed with the final results. Our wedding video was amazing and we get so many compliments on the quality of our wedding film. If you want good quality I definitely recommend John Arriola Films.

I absolutely loved the final product that John presented to my husband and I. I knew from the day that we booked him I was not going to be disappointed. When he showed us previous work that he did I started crying because he does such a beautiful job. John doesn't just create a wedding video, he creates a movie of that magical day. You can see his passion and enthusiasm that john has for his work and it shows in the final product. Overall and I'm so thankful that I went with John because I know I'm always going to cherish the film he made of my wedding day.

From the moment that we got engaged, there was no question as to who was going to be our wedding videographer. John had been my sister's wedding videographer when she got married back in 2004, and we're still captivated by her video every time we watch it. He was my first vendor that I officially booked...there was no question! Thank goodness we decided to! John was very quick to respond to any of our questions/concerns in the whole year leading up to our wedding. The fact that I was able to give monthly payments was also less stress on us. On our big day, I saw him hard at work capturing so many details, but little did I know how amazing it was going to be reflected in our wedding video. So many details that I had forgotten about were shown, and it brought tears to my eyes just how beautifully everything was presented in our final video. My husband and I will forever be grateful to John and his amazing work that he did for us.

When I first saw John's work I told my fiancé we had to hire him as our wedding videographer! There was no doubt about it! I had seen other videographers work, but none compared! John worked with us very well and was flexible with his schedule. We were always able to get in contact with him and he was always quick to respond. His work is amazing! He captures emotions that often go unnoticed. When he shot our engagement film, it must've been the most humid day of the year. We were sweaty and sticky, but you would never know! He just made it all look so "right." Also as important, I have to say that John and Brenda were a pleasure to work with. Choosing wedding vendors can be a taunting task. The last thing you'd want is to hire someone who is unreliable or doesn't meet your expectations. I'd highly recommend John Arriola Films! Can't wait to see our wedding day film!

There is no comparison when it comes to John Arriola Films. My husband and I knew we wanted to use him for our wedding very soon after we got engaged. John's professionalism, quality, creativity, clarity, and excellence in his work is unmatched. No other videographer in the Rio Grande Valley can reflect as impeccable of work as John Arriola. If you have been looking for someone to film your wedding or event, your search is now over. -Blaine and Hannah Crews

We fell in love with John's films the minute we saw them. We did not feel right to ask him to film our wedding because he was getting married the following day. One day when I was at my Wedding Coordinators office he stopped by and I said we did not hire a videographer because we wanted you to film it and he said I would love to do your engagement film and I can film your wedding ceremony. I am blessed he was able to film our ceremony and the video he created for us is truly a masterpiece! John made us feel comfortable and was a true pleasure to work with! I will say if you want someone who is funny, upbeat, personal, and amazing then John is the videographer for you!

Wow! Working alongside John was an incredible journey in our wedding planning. It was fun and exciting every step of the way! John is truly a professional at what he does. Our engagement film, bridal film, and wedding film were simply beautiful and amazing! We were left speechless after watching and reliving those special moments in our lives. I would highly recommend Five Star Wedding Films!

Five Star Wedding Films was one of the best choices we made in our wedding! John was very accommodating from the first day we met him. He captured so many special moments throughout the wedding that we didn't even realize took place until we saw the video. John was extremely professional and did not get in the way of the wedding process or our photography at all. We barely noticed he was there even though he captured every moment perfectly. Our wedding film is amazing and we would definitely recommend Five Star for anyone looking for a high quality video they can cherish for years. The highlight film is really unique and a great bonus to our wedding video.

John did an amazing job! We absolutely LOVE our video. Everything about working with John was wonderful. He really went above and beyond to make our video what we wanted. I have a beautiful video to remember my wonderful day...I am so thankful!!

I'm super happy that I went with John and his company to capture our special day. He was able to capture the feeling of the day beautifully.

We absolutely love love love John's work. He is amazing! He truly captured our love for one another on our wedding day. If you would like your most precious memories documented then you defnitely need to contract Five Star Wedding Films.

Not only is John an amazing artist, he is extremely professional and he went out of his way to get us the videos when we were unable to pick them up. The quality is fabulous and he just simply is a blessing to anyone he works with. John is without a doubt the best and most qualified person to film your wedding. Pictures are great but film truly captures the special moments that you want to remember for a lifetime. This was the wisest investment we made. I know John Arriola would be filming in Hollywood if he really wanted to! Thank you John for everything. We wish you could film all our events and we hope to work with you again soon!

John Arriola with Five Star is AMAZING! He just filmed our wedding, and we had such a BLAST doing it. It really means something when you know your videographer is having a good time filming as the couple is enjoying their wedding. He truely loves what he does and it shows through the quality of work! TO have someone videotape your intimate and special moment I feel takes a special type of individual that as a customer you have to warm up to. Well it was very easy with John, because he is so nice, respectful, and truely becomes a special friend after the entire process is over. He was a professional from beginning to end! Just take a look at a few of his videos and you will see what a FANTASTIC job he is able to create. He did a wonderful job with our engagement session and I cant wait to see the bridal and wedding films!! We love you! Valeska and Ronnie 11/20/10

Five Star Wedding Films exceeded my expectations in terms of quality of work and customer service. All our family and friends raved on how well edited and original our wedding video turned out. Five Star Wedding Films also incorporated our music into the video and this made it all the more personable and unique to us. Education, technique, experience, and quality equipment are what seperates a Five Star Wedding Film from all the other videographers. They truely captured the atmosphere of my wedding day.

When I got engaged, the very first vendor I chose for my wedding was Five Star Wedding Films. Through out the process John was very professional and helpful. When I saw my wedding video for the first time I was astound at the creativity and quality of work, I felt as though John had put a lot of thought into our video. I've recommended to Five Star to my closest friends, and if I were to it all over again, I would without a doubt choose Five Star to capture the most precious moments of my wedding day.

They are called Five Star for a reason......they are the BEST! FIVE STARS ALL AROUND.....John is great to work with and you have to have a good relationship with your videographer; and he makes you feel comfortable. I WOULD RECCOMMEND Them to ANYONE!!!!=D

We are having Five Star Wedding Films capture our wedding day. They are amazing and their work is simply stunning.

John with Five Star Productions filmed our wedding day and we wouldn't of had it any other way. His work is incredibly artistic and he definitely captured our love on film for us to watch over and over again. John was kind, professional and creative with our wedding film. Every detail we worked on for hours was on film for us. The final product was just magnificent. I cherished our wedding day and I am 100% satisfied with Five Star Productions and John’s work.
