About this vendor
With experience as a videographer for many years, the epiphany of inspiration struck me with the opportunity to tell a couple's story about how they met while hiking in the Appalachian Mountains. This couple changed my entire focus on the art of wedding film composition, providing me with a reborn and refreshed perspective. My unique approach that I have perfected over the years is to tell your story in a way that is unique and fun without subscribing to trendy or dated methodologies.
While every wedding has a similar timeline, no two couples — nor events — are ever alike. I love walking into your wedding and meeting all of your closest friends and family, learning their histories and connections. I love the excitement because every wedding provides me with a chance to make creative decisions that challenges me to raise the bar in providing you with shared memories to last multiple lifetimes.

Over the course of my career as a wedding photographer, I've worked with countless videographers and video companies, and Jesse Garrison and his team at Love Unique Studios are amo...
ng the very best in the SF Bay Area. We first worked together in 2014 on a lavish three-day Indian wedding with a lot of moving parts. We immediately clicked: we both bring a cinematic aesthetic to our work, so our preferences in lighting matched up nicely.
While our working styles aren't identical, I appreciate that Jesse respects the needs of other vendors and takes a collaborative approach. He communicates clearly about how he plans to set up and what he intends to do, and he'll adjust when needed (though I do my best to respect his needs too). Weddings aren't just about the photo or video — they're about the client experience, and Jesse understands this. He's wildly creative without pulling focus from the couple's grounded experience. We bounce ideas off each other, and I like to think we both come away with shots we might not have gotten otherwise.
Another quality I value in Jesse is his calm demeanor. His approach is deliberate and precise — he knows exactly what he wants, which makes him incredibly efficient when setting up creative shots. And his love of film and cinematography always comes through in the final product. He somehow takes an already lovely wedding and cranks up the storytelling through his editing and style.
If you need a creative videographer who's a team player and delivers a cinematic experience, Love Unique Studios is a great fit.
Jesse was so great to work with at our wedding. He has such a great eye for detail. We really enjoyed watching back the video and have shared it with so many of our friends and fam...
ily. It will be something we watch for years to come. He was constantly moving around getting the shots (but did such a great job at being a fly on the wall). We loved all the drone shots! It was a special treat to also get the footage of our toasts, first dance, etc. We would highly recommend Jesse!
Jesse is talented beyond words. If you are looking for an average wedding videographer to capture some footage on your wedding day, you should look somewhere else because Jesse is ...
anything but ordinary.
Jesse brings an unbelievable level of artistry, sincerity in his storytelling, and production quality that I instantly noticed after researching a lot of videographers in the area. He was awesome to work with and our MINDS. WERE. BLOWN. when watched our wedding video and saw how he decided to tell our story.
If you are on the fence with Love Unique Studios, jump to the side I ended up on. We considered some cheaper vendors, but you truly get what you pay for. End up with a wedding video that makes you feel something and just do it right. This is an A+ team that deserves to be paid what they're worth. I'll be a Jesse fan for life!
I am truly so thankful for Jesse and his team. His talent in catching and documenting special moments on your wedding day is beyond what you can anticipate. The art of taking those...
special moments and forming a video with music and voice recordings from the ceremony and speeches is not something just anyone can do. I have to say, our wedding videos are BEYOND. The more we watch them, the more thankful we are to have hired Jesse and his team. Besides the fact that Jesse was so wonderful to work with from our first phone call to the day of our wedding, he is so kind and has amazing attention to detail. He caught everything on our video "wishlist" and gave us some of the best tips before the wedding. He asked for our vows, speeches, and ceremony script ahead of time and then incorporated video shots with special words as they are played. All around, incredible! I'd hire him again in a heartbeat and recommend him to no end!
Jesse and his team were amazing to work with! They made us feel so comfortable with the filming process which we hadn't done before. They were so professional and worked so well wi...
th our other vendors to make sure everyone got what they needed! The package we bought had some coverage that we wanted to swap out for more coverage for the wedding weekend and he was so great with adjusting to make sure we got everything we wanted. We are so excited to see the final product!
A coworker of mine recommended Jesse as a videographer. She showed me the highlight of her wedding & I immediately fell in love. I loved watching all the other highlights on their ...
website as well. Their work was easy to convince my husband that they were the ones we should work with. Jesse was super easy to communicate with and everything was laid out much in advance so we knew what to expect. He was very understanding of us not having all the details in advance or not really knowing if we wanted something a certain way. When we met in person on our wedding day, he and one of his elite photographers were so professional. A lot of times, I didn’t even know where the camera was, which I’m pretty sure is a good thing because we were able to really soak everything in. We have no doubt that our highlight will be nothing short of amazing and just as heartwarming as their previous work! I’ve recommended Love Unique Studios to a couple of recently engaged friends & will continue to do so!
Jesse and Sam were absolutely amazing! Especially with Chris from Chris Howard Imagery! They're such a great team and they know exactly how to capture this special moment! Punctual...
and super flexible, Jesse knew exactly what I wanted and didn't hesitate on making it happen. Would love to work with them again!
WOW, is the first thing that comes to mind when describing Jesse and his team. He was super easy to work with and dependable. He showed up early for our wedding and was a complet...
e pleasure to work with. His team was equally as amazing as Jesse. He is so talented!!! The entire team was super friendly and easy to be around. He captured so many special memories from our special day. He also worked incredibly well with our photographer. We had a lot of folks photographing and filming on our day so this was a very important part for us. He is a true artist and he's so professional. I knew that I had nothing to worry about regarding Jesse on our wedding day and he exceeded my expectations. I would HIGHLY recommend Jesse for your special event and actually did recommend that Pebble Beach add him to their recommended vendor list. Such a great experience and just days after our wedding he sent a short teaser video for us. If you want the most amazing video and experience you MUST hire Jesse if he's available. Will definitely use him again for other events.
Jesse and his team are the best videographers one could dream of for their wedding day. We were lucky enough to have him documenting our entire wedding day and night. He is fun, or...
ganized and so so talented. I would say you're missing out if you pass up the opportunity to hire this talented indecision and team.
I did my fair share of searching for videographers for my wedding but none could capture a bride's big day better than Shakewell studios. Jesse is so creative and manages to captur...
e the most unique, fun, and meaningful moments of your big day that it will make even strangers burst into tears at the sentiment of your video. I highly recommend Shakewell studios to any bride in the bay area! Book them early though because they are a busy bunch!
