About this vendor
Shabooya Sha Sha shabooya roll call! My name is Kathy, ( yeah ) I'm a videographer, (yeah ) I love what I do, ( yeah ) When you see my work you're gonna be like "I wanna hire her " 🔥 Thank you for reading that and laughing at my terrible rhyme! ( It's actually took a while and I'm quite proud of it. Lol ) Like I said my name is Kathy of Kathy Ramirez Films and welcome to my bio! If you’re new here stay awhile because its story time! Since as early as Elementery school I had a video camera in my hand. My family members kindly entrusted me with their Sony Hand Cam camcorders on vacations to Mexico , at special events and you guessed it weddings. ( I guess I've always been a Sony girl after all! ) In middle school I was in media club and always used the point and shoot that we got to borrow for personal projects too. Fast forward to High School my sister and I would make music videos which I would direct, and that's where I taught myself to edit on good old Movie Maker. Now at 26 I can proudly say that I'm a creative entrepreneur that is embracing my talents and so happy with how far I've come. With shooting over 200 weddings in the last 6 years I'm excited to see and accept what God has in store for me in 2020. Other fun facts about me... 1) I love pizza BUT always with extra sauce! 2) Collecting post cards is my jam And last but not least... 3) I drive a pink car!

I found Kathy when I was scrolling through wedding highlight videos on Instagram and I instantly fell in love with her work and knew she had to be my wedding videographer. She was so sweet and caring throughout the entire process, sent us care packages, checked in on us to ensure we were doing well throughout our wedding planning and was very reassuring. The day of, she was very calm, helped my photographer get the best shots/angles, fixed my dress/hair, etc.! I cannot watch my highlight video without bawling, my whole family and I love it and we've received so many compliments. I recommend Kathy 100000%!
Kathy came highly recommended by a friend and our photographer. Kathy's work is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I wanted to make sure that our love for our family, friends and each other was put at the forefront of our wedding video through the speeches and little moments throughout the day and she NAILED it. I have re-watched our wedding video so many times and I still am unable to get through without waterworks. Kathy and her partner Sal (they are so cute together - really amp up the love vibe on your wedding day!) were so fun to work with. I was nervous how both myself and my husband would act around cameras all day, but with how welcoming both Kathy and Sal were you did't even realize they were there! She is a true artist with her direction and creativity. She captured each perfect moment we had discussed and composed a video that I will cherish forever.
Kathy, is hands down the best at what she does!!!
From the moment my (now husband), and I saw her work, we knew she was the one!
We had a destination wedding so it was important for us to have someone who could work with the scenery, of being on the beach, and Kathy went above and beyond our expectations! At first we were so nervous to reach out with having a destination wedding we weren’t sure she would be able to travel outside the United States for our wedding but she was more than flexible in doing so, she even got there a few days beforehand to capture some great footage!
Meeting Kathy in person really gave us so much comfort in having her capture our special day, you can tell she really loves what she does, and cares about getting to know you.
The day of my wedding, Kathy did such a phenomenal job of keeping everything on track, capturing the most amazing moments, and staying calm- cool- and collective throughout the different changes we experienced because of the weather. My entire family and guest loved how creative, and attentive to detail she is, it really didn’t go unnoticed- from fixing my hair or my bridesmaids hair to sweeping our dance floor from the sand we kept bringing in she was on top of it all.
Kathy didn’t leave our side, she was always there capturing every moment, and then some! We really loved working with her, there is something about Kathy’s demeanor that makes you feel very comfortable around her. When we received our wedding pictures and video we were so taken back at all the things Kathy was able to capture, moments that we will forever carry with us, Kathy really made us relive our wedding day all over again! I don’t know if I cried more the day of my wedding or the day we watched our wedding pictures and video she put together. It was beyond what we could have ever asked for, having her use our families voices means the world to us, and we truly can never thank her enough for making our day so special!!
If you are looking for a Videoagropher/photographer look no further Kathy is the one, I promise she’s worth every single penny, you won’t regret working with her!
We will definitely be reaching back out to her for future events! ❤️
Working with Kathy and her partner Sal was so much fun and an absolute pleasure. My fiance and I did a 2 min 'Date Day' video, and with her direction and creativity, she captured the perfect moments and composed a beautiful video that I cannot stop watching. You will not regret working with her and trusting her creativity. I will definitely consider hiring Kathy again for any future projects.
Kathy shot my religious wedding ceremony (Katb El Kitab) at the Kimpton Gray Hotel in Chicago, IL. Once I saw her work, I knew right away I wanted to work with her and from the moment we spoke, I knew right away she would be the one I would trust to capture one of the most important days of my life. Beyond her eye for aesthetic, which you can see in examples of her work on Instagram and elsewhere, she is professional, timely, cares about learning about you and your partner, and super open to other cultures and religious traditions. When we initially spoke, I told her what I was looking for and she created a custom package for me within a few days. I found her pricing to be competitive and fair. She responds to emails and communication quickly and I never once had to send her a reminder. She also has an impeccable work ethic. I asked her for a recommendation for a photographer and when I realized that I was looking for a very specific editorial style aesthetic that her recommendation did not offer, she did not become upset, or try to convince me to proceed anyway and very sweetly and genuinely told me that the number one most important thing was to find someone I was 100% convinced by. In the lead up to the event, we touched base a few times and spoke about the traditions that would be reflected in the ceremony and the party and she was ever so receptive. On the day of the event, her positive, calm demeanor kept me relaxed in front of 200 people. She perfectly guided us to take more posed shots and also was somehow everywhere filming all the important candid shots. Working with Kathy (and Sal) as my videographers was a dream and I have not even seen the final product yet. I am so obsessed with her that I am trying to figure out a way to bring her to Paris for my civil wedding celebration...
Kathy did an absolutely amazing job filming our wedding! The wedding video she made for us was perfect and brought us right back to our special day! If your in need of a videographer for a wedding or any special event I highly recommend Kathy!
