Kurtela Video Productions

Sean did an incredible job capturing our wedding day. His team was professional, organized, and clearly experts at what they do. Their creative vision made every shot feel special, and the final video exceeded all our expectations. It perfectly captured the emotions and moments of the day, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Highly recommend!

I wrote a five star review after our wedding and after we got the teaser video but now that we’ve gotten all of the footage back, I wanted to take the time to write a second review. Sean and the team did such an amazing job on all of the footage it literally looks so perfect and seamless. The audio and visuals are great And it literally looks like a movie! We are so grateful that they were able to capture all of our special moments so beautifully and we will definitely cherish it all forever. The team is so talented and unnoticeable during the whole day, which was amazing because seeing the video you would assume they had been front and center the whole time, but they are so skilled. We highly recommend them for videography needs!!

Sean and team did a great job being inconspicuous throughout our wedding and capturing all of our moments. We look forward to seeing the final video- the preview video was great!!

Sean did a spectacular job capturing what was, truly, a perfect day - our wedding day. The attention to detail shines through, we were in tears watching his edited videos because they just transported us back to that day. Sean himself is also an incredibly pleasant person to work with, which elevates the whole experience. My family also loved his work so much that my sister will be using him for filming her upcoming wedding - he touched all our hearts with the beauty of his work. Anyone would be lucky to have Kurtela Video Productions supply their filmography needs!

Sean was really easy to work with and he produced beautiful videos! It was important to us that our videographer not be too obvious or in the way during the wedding day, and he was completely respectful of that without sacrificing any quality. He was easily one of our most low maintenance vendors, and we only needed a couple texts and a quick phone call to get on the same page and make all our arrangements. We had hired a separate photography team and they all worked seamlessly together - photographers and videographers got all the shots they needed and didn’t have any conflict. We got both the highlight film and several complete videos (ceremony, first dances, etc). They all looked really professional and had a great pacing (good variety of angles and shots, but didn’t switch too quickly between them). We’re really glad we worked with Sean and his team and will treasure these videos on anniversaries to come!

Sean and his team were great to work with. He was a referral from my photographer and he captured my wedding day beautifully. He and his team were professional, fun and kind and they took beautiful shots of our ceremony and reception. The wedding video blew us away and captured many moments of our wedding day beautifully. Thank you Sean!

We loved working with Sean and his team! Filming with him on our wedding day was a breeze because he and his team were very friendly and at ease. Sean was very helpful in creating our perfect video. He was easy to communicate with, kept us updated, and was very accommodating of our requests. He captured the whole vibe, mood, and memories of our wedding day, which we will cherish forever. We will definitely be recommending him to all our friends!

Sean and his team went above and beyond! Amazing video and great people to work with. Always able to accommodate requests. Sean's the best!

Sean and team were great. The videos turned out well, and they were always respectful of guests and other vendors.

We are so happy that we chose to work with Kurtela Video Productions. Sean and his team were engaging, attentive, and professional throughout the entire process. The ceremony & reception video captured all of our favorite moments of the day and we've watched it more times than we can count. He was able to incorporate so many of our unique details into the final version and it's a true reflection of not only his eye and talent, but also commitment to capturing his client's vision. We have family who live overseas and couldn't attend the wedding, so it was so incredibly special to have the full ceremony on video. Everyone felt like they had a front row seat despite not being there in person. We are so thrilled with the final product and will treasure his work for years to come!

Sean and his team did a 10/10 job on our wedding! Sean was unable to do the actual video work, but his team was incredibly professional, creative, and we thoroughly enjoyed working with them. Our families were overjoyed with the entire ceremony footage, especially grandparents who weren't able to attend, and everyone loved the highlight video. Thank you Sean + team!!

Sean and his team did an awesome job. They were very organized, kept us on schedule but also felt like they were not there at the same time. They captured all of the great parts of the day that we could remember and some that we missed. The final video was phenomenal. 10/10 would recommend.

The moment I got engaged and started wedding prep I knew I had to book Kurtela Video Productions. I had seen their work in a friend’s wedding and was blown away. Sean and his team are THE best! So professional and thoughtful. They know exactly where to be and when to be there to capture all the special moments of the day. There were moments we didn’t even know they were filming that felt so intimate, and other times they helped guide us through some of our favorite shots of the day. The Kurtela Video Team worked so great with our other vendors, something I didn’t even consider before I saw them in action. So thankful for their attention to detail and beautiful creativity in the films they produce. Highly suggest booking for your upcoming event!

Sean and his team were amazing to work with! We will always cherish our wedding weekend videos. They are so visually stunning, and they really capture the feeling of our wedding, and what was important to us. Sean and his team worked perfectly with our photographers and wedding planner, we couldn't have asked for a better team! If you are thinking about getting a videographer, look no further than Kurtela, they will exceed your expectations 10x over!

If you are still looking for a videographer, look no further. Kurtela Video Productions is it! Super professional and great at what they do. As a planner, finding vendors that you mesh well with is always a must. I loved my experience working with Sean and would recommend him to any bay area bride or planning team looking for an outstanding video team. His level of experience, professionalism, and friendly personality are unmatched.

My husband and I do not have enough amazing things to say about Kurtela Video Productions. Sean from the initial meeting and interaction has been extremely professional, attentive, and charismatic. He elevated our own vision and style through his distinctive talent and meticulous attention to the details of our beautiful wedding. The moments he captured in our final wedding video were everything we were hoping to constantly rewind every time we watch the film! We are beyond thankful for Sean and his team for being such a big part of our special day. We are so grateful to have had them as our videographers! Truly the best!

Sean and his team were a pleasure to work with from the moment we first connected. He has been punctual, professional and overall a blast to work with. Leading up to the day he was extremely communicative and on the day of, he and the crew seamlessly plugged into the day. They worked so well with our photographer and complimented each other’s personality effortlessly. I really can’t say enough about the quality of the video and timeliness. My friends have been waiting for more than 6 mo for their video and we got ours in 2!!! Sean shared our vision perfectly and was even open to make a few adjustments after to make it even more perfect. I really can’t say enough about working with Sean! You’d be lucky to have him by your side on your day!

I had watched a close friend's wedding video and knew I wanted to hire Sean before I even met my husband. My friend had him as her wedding videographer and I loved his calm, friendly demeanor. When I saw the video, I knew I would hire him when I got married. Sean has a great artistic eye/vision and was excellent at capturing every little detail of our day. He did a fantastic job of directing us and making sure he got ever shot he needed the day of. We were blown away by the thought and attention he put into his work. I was truly so so happy we hired Sean. Not to mention, he was extremely gracious when we needed to postpone our wedding from September of 2020 to September of 2021 due to the pandemic. If you're on the fence about hiring a videographer, hire one! It's one of my favorite things to watch and relive our special day. Thank you so much, Sean!

Man oh man!! Sean blew us away with how amazing our video turned out. We live in Texas, but wanted to do a destination wedding in Carmel Valley. After one phone call we were sold! The quality of his work is impeccable and every time I watch our video, I am so happy we made the decision to use him as our videographer. He is the best and my husband and I will be forever grateful we got to work with him!

Sean is your GUY! He was a referral from my photographer (who was also over the top) and boy, did he deliver! He came out prior to our wedding to preview our venue (our home in Woodside, CA) and just was super nice and pleasant. He was very professional and just a joy to work with. During the whole day, I never felt like he was "in my face" so I wasn't looking at the camera as he did his amazing job. The three videos he produced were just absolutely stunning, beautiful and extremely professional. Quality was outstanding and and even exceeded our expectations by far! I can't say enough good things about Sean and I highly highly highly recommend him. I chose the package to include the wedding ceremony, wedding reception and the short film of our day and they all turned out amazing and well worth every penny! I'm really glad I did the short film in addition to the others because it just turned out magical!! We couldn't be happier and I'd give him 500 stars if I could! Thank you, Sean!! ~Renata & Tim

My daughter got married the day of the California atmospheric weather storm. I was worried about vendors not arriving, but Sean was there, on time and ready to go. He was completely unobtrusive as he did his thing. We just received the videos and we are thrilled! He captured every special moment. Very professional and also a very nice person! Wonderful to work with.

Sean and his team were AMAZING to work with! At first we were hesitant to hire a videographer, thinking photos would be enough. We are so glad we did! On your big day, you are so overwhelmed and not able to focus on everything. With the video we are now able to relive all of those moments, it is pure magic. The video was compiled better than we could have ever imagined. We also had our wedding live streamed as well which was top notch quality and our virtual guests couldn’t stop raving about it.

Sean and his crew were a fabulous choice for our wedding. We wanted something a bit different than the traditional packages, and Sean worked with us to make it a reality! The end result makes us so happy and is a wonderful keepsake of one of the most important days of our lives. Highly recommend Sean (& his team) for their professionalism, flexibility, and wonderful output. Thanks guys for making everything so special and for bearing with us even in the crazy heat!!!

Sean and his team were incredible to work with from start to finish. And that timeline was not a short one. We had multiple postponements due to Covid but Sean stuck with us without issue. We're so glad that he did too because the finished product he gave us was 10/10! He captured every important moment and told the story of our wedding. His balance between traditional and modern is something I think will stand the test of time. Thank you again for literally EVERYTHING you've done for us Sean.

Sean is such a sweet and humble person. He made my wedding extra special in 2014. I look back at my video and just cry of how amazing his work is. I always reccomend Kurtela Video to my friends and family. You will not be disappointed with Sean's work.

After hearing from several friends and family members that their biggest wedding day regret was not hiring a videographer, I knew this would be a must for my wedding. And because my best friend kept raving about how much she loved her videographer (I was in her wedding in 2015 and 100% agreed), it was an easy choice for me to go with Sean Kurtela. After moving our wedding twice because of the pandemic, he continued to be flexible, professional, and super responsive. His entire team came on time and ready for the long day. We were so impressed by how many team members he had to assist, ensuring we didn't miss capturing any of the many magical moments that day. Not only did he make a highlight video that had everyone in tears when I posted it on IG, but he also went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Sean's easy going, down-to-earth personality is so refreshing in an industry that can be so pretentious (particularly in Wine Country, CA). We loved that the footage he captured came together in the most sincere and sweet highlight video with so many different angles and shots, without being corny at all (like many wedding videos can be). We already plan to watch our wedding video at every anniversary. We really can't recommend Sean enough! Do it. You won't be disappointed.

If you’re questioning hiring a videographer…don’t think! Just say YES! Sean and his team did an incredible job capturing the true joy of our wedding day! We hired Sean back in 2019 and he was so easy to work with when the pandemic forced us to postpone. With the ever changing rules of COVID he was flexible and able to adapt to our needs. Sean and his team were professional, fun, and helped keep the day flowing. It is a true gift to be able to look back at the footage and relive a day that means so much to us! Thank you Sean and the entire team for capturing our love - we are forever grateful!

Sean and his team were awesome to work with! They were all so nice and helpful with everything. Sean went above and beyond to make sure we remember the best day of our lives! We have the best video of our whole day and of our ceremony. I highly recommend working with this team for your special day!

I have worked with Sean on several events, and he and his team are always wonderful to work with! They are professional, kind, and are so much fun to be around - which is an important factor when couples are spending 8-12 hrs with their photo/video team. He works well with photography teams, and doesn’t have the ego I have seen with other videographers over who is more important. A true team player when it comes to other vendors. Their videos are beautiful, and my clients have always been happy afterwards. He is on my recommended vendors list, and I absolutely love when my clients book him!

Sean and his team are the best! They are so on top of of everything and are always thinking ahead to make sure they are set up to get everything captured perfectly on and time. Sean is responsive and professional and is fun to be around. I highly recommend Kurtela Video for your wedding day!!

As a Napa Valley wedding planner, I have had the great pleasure of working with and recommending Sean Kurtela to my clients for many years. His attention to detail and artistry are the best! And he is an absolute pleasure to work with on wedding day. Rest assured, Sean and his team are fantastic! 🥇

After having canceled our destination wedding due to Covid-19, my husband and I decided to plan a small local wedding at a beautiful bay area venue called Nestldown. Quite frankly, we were on the fence on whether or not we would hire a videographer. Sean came highly recommended by our venue so we decided why not explore the option. Sean was extremely prompt in communication and very open to discussing options with us given the unusual circumstances of 2020. We are so happy we decided to work with Sean and cannot imagine not having the beautifully captured footage from our special day. We were amazed at Sean's ability to capture such high quality footage at so many different view points. He is highly skilled and certainly had creative solutions to capturing a significant amount of footage, despite our shorter wedding (4 hrs), even though he was our only videographer filming for the day. We've looked back at our wedding videos many times in the past 6 months and every time are reminded how thankful we are to have to have these moments captured forever. If you are on the fence, I encourage you to do it - you will not regret it! Also, Sean is fantastic and I would highly recommended him. Thank you Sean for capturing such lovely memories for us for a lifetime!

We were so happy to have gotten to work with Sean for our micro-wedding in November. Sean got beautiful, down-to-earth shots of our ceremony and reception, and he was a pleasure to work with the whole way through. (Honestly, I looked at a *lot* of videographers and only Sean's videos blew away my exceedingly picky taste =) )Even when we were running late with our event, he graciously stayed overtime to help us capture the last of our toasts. Thank you Sean!! We'll enjoy watching our wedding videos for years to come!

Sean and his team were great to work with. I'm so glad we hired Sean to capture our wedding day! His eye for capturing the experience of the day really tells the story, not only of the couple, but also of all the people who made our day special. On top of this, Sean pivoted with us when our wedding plans changed due to COVID. He was always careful and safe in his planning but completely supportive, flexible, and positive during a stressful time. The day-of Sean and his team were a pleasure to be around and gave us just enough direction while most often being somewhere without us even realizing they were recording. After the event, Sean's turnaround time with our video was quick, and I can say that the end result was worth the investment! I can't recommend Kurtela Video enough!

Sean’s team was a dream to work with. They were fun, professional and the final video they produced was impeccable. I can’t recommend them enough!

Sean and his team did a fantastic job the day of capturing every detail. We had high expectations for the final result and he did not disappoint. The video was even better than we expected! Sean was very patient with our edit suggestions too. Highly recommend using them. Sean has a great artistic eye and does a great job creating an easy watching video that brings our emotions out every time!

Sean and his team were easy to work with and did an amazing job capturing the energy and emotion of our wedding day. The videos are beautiful and we will treasure them forever. We highly recommend Kurtela Video!

Sean was fantastic to work with! He and his team are a ton of fun and have great attitudes. On our big day, he was always around to capture the moment but was never in the way. He even set up a live stream so that our family who couldn’t make it to the wedding could watch live, and everything went perfectly. Sean put a ton of work into the final videos and was happy to make adjustments to include our favorite moments. Absolutely would recommend Sean!

We cannot thank Sean and his team enough! They did a fantastic job capturing our wedding day. We absolutely loved our highlight video and film. We appreciated how comfortable the team made us feel on the wedding day, and we also appreciated the effective communication between the team and other vendors working to make the day so special. Sean answered all of our questions at the start of the process and exceeded our expectations by the end. I would highly recommend Kurtela Video Productions if you are looking for a top notch videographer!

I was in tears watching our video from our wedding - Sean and his team captured every moment in a way that can be viewed and treasured forever! The weaving of our vows and speeches with clips from the day was the perfect way to share our story! Highly recommend!

We watched so many wedding videos from various videographers and Kurtela Video Productions stood out! We loved that the focus was on the day and guests, and not just the couple—and we also loved hearing parts of speeches. The purpose of having a wedding video is to remember the day/special moments, and Sean captured everything perfectly! If you pick Kurtela Video Productions, you won’t regret it—the video is definitely with the cost! Thanks so much Sean!!

I am so happy that we had Sean and his team on our wedding day! They were such a joy to work with throughout the whole process and on my wedding day. Sean was prompt on our wedding day, and we were so happy with the results! I watch our wedding video often and it captured the beauty of our day!! Thank you for everyday! We are so grateful to have the videos forever!

From start to finish, it was an absolute breeze and pleasure to work with Sean on our wedding day. Leading up to that incredible night, not only did he make sure to take note of what was important to us, but Sean did so all while putting his unique spin on things without us even noticing. And because we were planing a surprise wedding, the first few “ah ha” moments that Sean captured as the guests arrived were beyond special and extraordinarily important to us. As the evening unfolded, Sean managed to stay behind the scenes but always right where he needed to be for some amazing angles that we are so thankful for. We learned later that Sean was nothing short of a consummate professional (although, that’s no surprise now), as every other vendor said he was extremely easy to work alongside of and very kind while sharing the same space as them during our wedding festivities. Fast forward to when Lindsey and I got to see the perfectly completed video that Sean put together a short time later, all we both could say was, “Wow, just wow!!!” Sean, thank you from the bottom of our hearts, as we’ll watch and share this amazing piece of your art each at every anniversary until we’re well past being old and gray :-) Thank you for all of your help capturing all of our special moments and memories that’ll last us a lifetime! Most Sincerely, Scott and Lindsey

Sean and his team were great to work with. We had an unusual situation where we had two weddings, one day after the other and from two cultural traditions. Sean worked with us on creating a custom package that weaved in footage from both days. During the weddings, he and his team were pleasant to interact with and worked well with our photographer (with whom they've also worked alongside in the past). When creating the final video, Sean worked with us to get the music and mood that we liked as well. He also added in a bonus video to honor our unforgettable weekend.

Sean was an absolute pleasure to have as our videographer! From day one he was so helpful and quick to respond. I felt like he had everything under control and the end results we’re even more stunning than I imagined! It made my wedding day so much more enjoyable to have Sean and his team as such professional, easy going, and friendly people to make sure all the special moments were caught just right. I cannot say enough praises!! Thank you, Sean!
