Lighten Films truly captured our day in the most beautiful way possible. Their hard work, talent, and professionalism is outstanding. Terrence met with us well in advance of our we...
dding to get to know us better as a couple in order to capture our vibe and what makes us "us." We honestly did not think it was possible to our having our wedding day captured so beautifully and Lighten Films blew us away.
From the moment I spoke to Terrence on the phone, I knew he was going to ensure that my wedding day was captured beautifully. Not only did he get the intimate details of getting re...
ady leading up to walking down the aisle, he was able to capture our ceremony in all of its glory. Not to mention the speeches and dancing from the reception! When I rewatch the videos (which I do very often!!), Lighten Films was able to create a keepsake that makes me feel exactly the way I did on my wedding day. Additionally, the teaser video Lighten Films created for us was out of this world spectacular!
In the moment, it’s so easy to forget all of the little details and words spoken on your special day. I’m SO glad I had Lighten Films with me to make sure my wedding was a day I will always remember! I highly recommend for any event you want to remember!
Terrence was the videographer at our wedding in October 2022, and did an impeccable job! I would not have wanted anything different from a videographer - we spoke with Terrence jus...
t once before our big day (though of course he was willing to speak more frequently if we wanted!), and he understood our desires perfectly. We wanted to make sure that Terrence and his team were able to capture all the special and intimate moments of our celebration, without imposing on the party at the same time. Terrence executed this perfectly. We love our video and watch it lovingly - it has the fun, warm, and special vibes from our day, and we cannot thank Terrence and his team enough for their perfect job on our wedding day. I highly recommend Terrence to capture your celebration!
Terrence and Suzi were great to work with. Our videos from our wedding came out amazing! I couldn't have asked for anything more. We truly felt comfortable with them from start to ...
finish. Highly recommend!
Terrence and Suzi are hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. As our videographers, they were professional, detailed oriented and also loved having a great ti...
me! All these things made the day so much easier for us. We never had to worry cause they were always there to capture every moment and even moments we weren’t there for, we loved all the candid moments that we could look back on.
My husband and I have rewatched our wedding video countless of times and we have family and friends who comment on how amazing our wedding video was.
There are so many things we can say about this team and we want to continue extending our gratitude for them being a part of our wedding day.
You cannot go wrong with Terrence and Suzi.
Get this team, you will not regret it. 😊
Terrence and his team are amazing! We were looking for a fairytale type of video for our wedding. The transitions of music, words, & how the videos come along with his work is fant...
astic. Reaching out to Terrence was so easy - very personable. I told him I love the look with his work and he even worked with me for pricing! Before the wedding, he took the time to get to know my husband and I. It made the wedding day run so much more smoothly. He worked so well with my photographer to create their master pieces. I felt like all the important details were recorded. Speaking of important details, I found out I was pregnant 4 days prior to the wedding day. I reached out to my team to record my husband’s reaction when he opened his wedding gift that included my positive tests and baby booties. Everything was perfect. Terrence and his team captured all the emotions I could have ever hoped for. They even made a separate video of the pregnancy announcement that I can watch over and over again. As for the wedding video, even better! Terrence captured our special day to the T and it was the fairytale video I have always dreamed of. Even though I thought it was perfect, the timing of certain things and the audio were not perfect enough so he took the time to make it just right. I highly recommend Lighten Films. Quality, professional, friendly, amazing. I’m so happy with our videos!!!
My husband and I loved Terrance and his wife Susie! They were incredible! They were so transparent from start to finish. They answered all of our questions in such a soothing and ...
respectful way. I never felt rushed when asking about their business and they were so quick to respond. All of my emails/texts were met with same day replies, most within the hour. They were open to any adjustments or questions I had about film time, packages or just simply feeling afraid of looking awkward. The film they gave us is so wonderful and we are 100% satisfied. I would recommend Terrance and Susie to anyone looking for an easy, transparent, fun and smooth videography experience. We can’t thank them enough.
I cannot say enough amazing things about Lighten Films! Terrence and his wife Suzi helped capture all the details of my daughters wedding. The day goes by so fast that there are ...
so many things you don't get to see or you forget. Terrence helps create lasting memories that you get to watch over and over again. When we received our USB and watched our video for the first time, we were in awe of how professional and amazing it was. If you are hesitating on hiring a Lighten Films DON"T it will be the best decision you make!
Me and my husband are both very happy with our wedding video - it turned out really beautiful. It was a pleasure to work with Terrence!
Terrence was wonderful from start to finish! With the pandemic happening in the midst of our wedding plans Terrence was very flexible throughout several reschedules. Very prompt & ...
professional. Our video turned out absolutely beautiful & we will cherish it for many years to come. The quality is amazing, very crisp & clear. We can’t recommend Lighten films enough for your wedding & events!

We had the opportunity to have Lighten Films shoot me and my wife Aissa’s special day. From the beginning, Terrence’s team was very professional. There was a lot of anxiety given o...
ur wedding took place during the pandemic. Despite the times, Terrence and his team ensured they would deliver on the vision they had for us. From the consultation, to the shooting day, down to the post production, Lighten films was top notch in making sure we were happy with our Wedding Day video. Any changes or details we needed they were able to accommodate. In all honesty, as we got the package that would not include Terrence on our day, there was a slight feeling of uncertainty. But with that uncertainty, we saw how hard his team worked in getting the best shots and angles. After seeing how hard his team worked, it only showed that they were a projection of Terrence himself. Along with that, Terrence always communicated with us in a timely manner. We loved the care package that came with our video; you definitely made us feel like a box office hit. Thank you to Steven, Adriel, and Terrence for taking time in documenting our special day.
All Love,
The Delapeñas

ts of our special night, which made it so easy to navigate through. His turnaround was so quick even during peak wedding season time. Terrence and his team captured our wedding back in April 2018 and we just look forward to watching it every Anniversary. My son was a year old and even caught his cute dance moves! He not only captured us, but our whole family. It was quite a big wedding for us and wish we had more time to mingle, but Terrence captured more than enough to show our family had a wonderful time! Would definitely recommend Lighten Films! Worth every penny! Thank you so much!

d them to film our special day! Terrence and Suzi have filmed so many of our friends weddings and have made the most incredible videos. We are so thankful for our beautiful video to cherish forever and we watch it every year on our wedding anniversary! Wedding photos are nice to have but having a video let’s us feel like we can relive that day we never want to forget! Thank you again so much for everything!
Terrence was so great to work with! We initially had a different videographer assigned to us from our venue but when we spoke on the phone we felt tons of pressure to upgrade packa...
ges, etc. — we just didn’t feel they were the right company to work with. We luckily came across Lighten Films and met with Terrence in person. From that first meeting we felt incredibly comfortable and knew right away we wanted him to capture our big day!
Not only was his work amazing, but he was so understanding and accommodating to our postponement (due to the pandemic) and was so supportive in our date change. He was always very prompt in responding to emails and texts and he was easily accessible through Facetime appointments when we needed to review certain things.
On the day of the wedding he brought in a second videographer and they captured every detail and important moment from our day. They were very professional and also worked with our photographer seamlessly! The final video was edited so beautifully, I could not have asked for a better video! Some of our friends and family could not make it to our wedding but each time I show them our video they say they could feel all the emotions from the day thanks to how Terrence captured everything! I wholeheartedly recommend Terrence as your next videographer - he was such a pleasure to work with!
I am still completely blown away by how perfect our wedding videos from Suzi & Lighten Films are. She so beautifully captured every single moment that I want to be able to remembe...
r forever and reflect on in the future. The day of, both her and her partner were completely respectful and easy to work with from the moment they arrived. In additional to our professionally edited highlights reel (which I swear I can watch over and over again) we also received all of the major events (ie: ceremony, speeches, cake cutting etc) edited in full as well which was so amazing. We also opted for the raw footage add-on which i love having because it is all the behind the scenes moments that brides typically miss out on because we are getting ready or taking photos etc. So I loved having the additional footage to see all the parts I missed in person. I am so grateful for this amazing vendor!
I am so grateful that I hired Terrence to capture our wedding! He did a phenomenal job!
To be honest, I did not consider hiring a videographer for our wedding as a necessity, but...
after viewing the videos that Terrence captured for us, I am so thankful that I did. It was completely necessary and knowing what I do now, I would have regretted not hiring Terrence for the rest of my life. Our wedding went by so fast, but we have a beautiful summary video, raw footage, a toast video, and a ceremony video that lets me relive the best day of my life forever.
I am so impressed with how well Terrence was able to film all the aspects of our wedding. We had a wide variety of footage, which is all beautiful, steady, and clear. This was extremely hard to do since we were moving around so much and Terrence was having to man two cameras at once. Terrence did an exceptional job of creating a summary video that really fit our personalities as well as the mood that we wanted to convey. I am an off-beat bride, but Terrence was able to give us so much footage that was both fun and romantic at the same time. He really listens to you and gives you exactly what you want.
Not only was his work product so great, but I also felt that interacting with Terrence at our wedding made my wedding experience even better. He has a friendly, bubbly personality that is infectious. I felt like he was one of my friends, and I really enjoyed talking to him throughout the day. We laughed a lot. He gave us very clear instructions and was very patient when I kept getting distracted. He was also very prompt to respond to me via email whenever I had questions, which is a plus because I was a destination bride.
I really appreciated that Terrence worked with my needs and my budget. When looking at videographers, I experienced several rude vendors who would not work with me because I did not fit their "vision" and/or I could not afford to pay for their very large team of videographers and photographers. Terrence, on the other hand, never made me feel badly about my decisions.
In summary, you need to hire Terrence! If we have a vow renewal, we will hire him in a heartbeat. I am so lucky to have Terrence on my wedding team!
All we can say is WOW! We absolutely LOVE our wedding video. We just received it last night and have already watched it multiple times. I don't think we've stopped smiling! Terre...
nce and his team were such a pleasure to work with. They were very professional and we were thrilled to have them part of our special day. They went over and above for us and they truly captured all the best moments of our special day. We definitely made the right decision to have a wedding video and definitely went with the best company out there! Thank you Lighten Films!
This may be a way late review but I rewatched my wedding video last night & was reminded today by social media of the morning I wrote my fabulous cinematographer an email after wat...
ching our video for the first time and wanted to share what the email stated.
"OH MY GOODNESS Terrence!!!! The coming attraction trailer is PERFECT no worries on the few extra days; it was worth the wait.
Thank you so so much for everything. The video is such a priceless piece; you have no idea how elated I am at 5:00AM watching such a touching recap of our wedding day. It is so surreal, how many times I have looked at your site and watched countless videos falling in love with your work and now here it is the day we get to be a part of your collection that I have been so mesmerized with.
From the initial inquiry in hopes that you had availability, you being so wonderful to be willing to start filming at 3am knowing you had a wedding to film until 10pm, your advice and support for any Las Vegas wedding questions I had, my fingers being crossed knowing your 4th little ones delivery might be any moment & knowing you wouldn't leave if labor started - Praying it wouldn't be my fault you weren't there LOL (which all worked out perfectly THANKFULLY), to the kindness and professionalism you have shown Brandon and I there are no words to express my gratitude. This will go down as the best money I ever spent, not only on the wedding but as a priceless piece that could never have been wanted more and now treasured endlessly. Terrence, you & Steven blow me away with your work not to mention how great & fun you guys were to work with! We never got the chance to meet the Mrs. but I am sure she is great, maybe we will be so lucky on our next visit out to Las Vegas. The Lighten Films Family is bar none "

ced video-grapher as he able to explain all the angles and lightening required to make an excellent video. He was prompt with replies which made planning our wedding easier as we had to do this all the way from Australia. Those couples who are on the fence with getting Video...get it! It is completely different from your uncle holding that small handheld camera, Lighten Films in a professional team and will capture does candid moments and be able to relive all those little moments.
We loved the highlight reel! Lighten Films, you all were amazing! Thank you for filming our most important day.
Literally the best decision we made for our wedding. Watching this video is like reliving the day over and over- we laughed, we cried! Terrence has a way of capturing every detail...
and taking you back to the that exact moment, making you feel like you're there again. He is so professional and kind. He had a way of taking some of the anxiousness away because I knew that even if something didn't go as planned, the video would make it seem like it went flawlessly! It is obvious he has a passion for this. My husband and I are not the type of people that like to be the center of attention or to be filmed but he made us both feel so comfortable that we were free to be ourselves. LIGHTEN FILMS IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST!
