Luminance Wedding Films

Choosing Luminance as our videographer was by far the easiest decision we made during the wedding process. In fact, we didn’t bother researching any other videographers. Their work speaks for itself! They are the very best in the business and worth every penny! Whether you know exactly what you want from your short film or put it in the hands of their creative minds we promise you won’t be disappointed. They are so easy to work with and truly are wonderful people. They are very friendly and make you feel extremely comfortable. They are very prompt at responding to any questions or concerns you may have. Prior to our wedding, they had shot many of our friends and families weddings and the results were stunning. Not a single couple was disappointed with their product and we are no different. We can’t stop watching our film. The word “incredible” doesn’t do it justice! We are so grateful to be able to relive that amazing day through our video. We can’t thank them enough for their amazing work.

It’s been over a year since our wedding! I almost never would come back to write a review, however this review is LONG overdue. It’s a been a busy first year as a married couple with new jobs, house etc. We had the pleasure of working with Sarah and her husband Scott for our short films. These guys are the dream team. I contacted Sarah back in 2015 to film a video (for a surprise proposal for my at the time girlfriend and soon to be fiancé), and the film turned out amazing! We were so impressed with their work, we asked them to be our videographers for our wedding in 2017. I did my research, and really glad I did! If you want someone that can truly capture the moment, I highly recommend Luminance Wedding Films! Let’s face it, anyone can hold up a camera and record video, but it takes a true artist to make the audience feel like they are really there! The most amazing part is Sarah, being pregnant at nine months, was due any day and came ALL the way out to Phoenix from Albuquerque to capture our wedding. She absolutely didn’t have to, and had plenty of cameramen that were going to be there to do the job, but she is absolutely dedicated to what she does and made the drive. She is truly a master of her craft. They can direct, shoot, and capture, and make you feel like a movie star! 5 stars to you guys! And Scott, the drone footage was awesome! We are so happy we trusted Luminance Films to capture some very special days. Thanks for the incredible work.

I cannot begin to describe how happy I am with the work Sarah and Scott have put together for us! They are the most wonderful people to work with and they truly feel like family at this point. Luminance has filmed almost all of my families weddings and yet each time they continue to amaze us with their talent. They do a great job getting to know the couple individually and despite all of us cousins getting married at the same church, and the same reception hall they continue to create new and unique videos that truly fit the personalities of each couple. I look forward to watching our video over and over again every year to remember this incredible day with all of our family and friends. Thank you again Sarah and Scott for your beautiful work! https://www.luminanceweddingfilms.com?wix-vod-video-id=ebfae3aa16784391bf5229d1e06065d8&wix-vod-comp-id=comp-j0q4ioev# I highly recommend Luminance Wedding Films to anyone interested in capturing all of the beautiful moments of your wedding that you will cherish forever.

The best decision we made during our entire wedding planning process was hiring Luminance Wedding Films. Sarah and Scott are not only extremely professional and kind, but incredibly talented and will capture the most beautiful moments of your big day! They made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, something we were both very nervous about! Our wedding video came out better than the both of us could have ever imagined, and we are so so grateful that we found you both! Thank you both so much <3 Laura + Roy

If you are on the fence about getting a wedding film DO it and especially do it with Luminance Wedding films. The day of your wedding everything is such a blur and I couldn't be more thrilled to have not only photo but video as well to document and help me to remember such a special day. There are so many little details I forgot about and even moments and having the people you love in a video goes beyond what photography alone can do. My whole family loved the video as well as my friends and I can't ask for a better memento. Sarah puts so much time, thought and love into what she does and it absolutely shows. I can't wait to show this video to my children and their children because it means so much to my husband and I. I couldn't recommend Luminance more for your videography needs.

Book them now!! Plan your wedding around them! Visit their site and watch the videos. Sarah and Scott are the absolute best and you would be crazy not to hire them. Luminance creates a mini-movie starring you and your loved ones. The mood, the music, the editing create an emotional journey. No matter what kind of ceremony and options you choose, I promise you will not be disappointed. We went with basic options, but added the drone and extra footage (both highly recommended) and are over the moon with the results. Luminance captured the emotions and created moments that would have slipped away if we had not hired them. I did not want the typical wedding video and I was not disappointed. Watch their videos and see for yourself. If you want the best, look no further, you found it.

Sarah and Scott are the most thoughtful, patient, creative, and dynamic duo you could ever dream of having film your special day! From the beginning, Sarah was professional and responsive, but more importantly flexible, kind, and considerate. She listens to everything you desire and goes FAR beyond and above. She was careful in making sure she understood what was important to us, patient while working with difficult vendors, and was just so mindful of giving us a positive experience throughout. Not to mention, she had just been in the hospital the night before with labor contractions, and she was still brilliant and top-notch! Everyone was so impressed! I knew I wanted to hire them when I would rewatch their videos (of strangers!) and I would cry and cry and cry. Our wedding film is gorgeous- go watch it! And book them immediately. They were the one vendor I was absolutely 100% sure I was making the right choice about. If there is anything you put your money into, it should be this. They are worth every penny! So grateful to both of them! <3 <3 <3

A dream wedding, a picture perfect day...all we wanted was to enjoy every minute of our day, that passed too quickly. Thanks to Sarah and Scott, we have many of our precious moments, many that we did not even get to see! There are no words to share how amazing Sarah and Scott are at Luminance Wedding Films are. Before I was even engaged I knew that I wanted them to share in not only my wedding day but also the entire journey. There was no question that their professionalism and artistic ability would bring an amazing touch to our special day! Leading up to the wedding and the events of the week, Sarah had filled me in with what the day would look like and scheduling to make sure the things we wanted to have as part of our movie were covered. Our wedding went smoothly and we were very excited to get our video. When we received our video our expectations were blown away. We could not of asked for a better story and video to last a lifetime. Upon receiving our video my husband and I watched it more than 8 times straight. It was shared with our family and friends as well. Everyone shared how beautiful their work was and how impressed they were by Sarah and Scott. Definitely the very best part of our wedding and I would recommend Luminance Wedding Films with out a question. Everyone needs to have a video that in the good times and the bad, can be watched together to bring two back together. Our video allows us to remember the reason we took our vows and we will be forever grateful to Sarah and Scott at Luminance Wedding Films for providing us with this.

One of the best decisions I made for my wedding day was hiring Luminance. My sister told me that, as a bride, anything tangible you can take away from your wedding is worth investing in, i.e. the photos, video, etc. After receiving my video from Luminance, I cannot express how much this is true!! Luminance captured the atmosphere of my wedding which could not have been captured so successfully in any other medium. I know that my happiness for owning this keepsake will only enhance as my husband and I get older. Also - just look at their videos... they speak for themselves!

Having a videographer is an investment in telling your love story. Once I received our video from Sarah & Scott I cried. They captured the essence of our love and our family. I highly recommend! They're professional, thoughtful, caring and VERY talented!

Can not say enough about how excellent they are to work with. Worth every penny. The quality of their films are amazing, and something you get to have forever to remember your special day. Such a fun couple to work with on the day of.

Hands down the BEST wedding decision we made by hiring Luminance Wedding Films to document the best day of our lives. A quality videographer for our wedding was one of our top priorities in all the decisions we had to make… So much so, we set our date around the availability of Luminance. They over-delivered! Sara and Scott were extremely easy to work with and very professional. They did an incredible job of capturing all of the special moments throughout the day and making it magical. Our wedding film turned out better than we ever could have imagined and they went above and beyond what we paid for to make the film spectacular and tell our story. We continue to watch our video on repeat because it takes us back to that special day each time. Thank you Luminance Wedding Films for giving us something we can cherish forever and share with our kids and grandkids someday. You guys are more than wedding videographers, you’re true ARTISTS and we are so grateful we found you guys. -Shane and Megan Austin

What could I possibly say to express how incredible Sarah and Scott were at capturing our wedding? My husband and I are actors (and he is a filmmaker!), so it was important to us that any wedding film we had was beautiful and made with care. Luminance was the top of our list, (just look at their other films, these two are top of the line) and they knocked it out of the park from the beginning to the final product. Sarah and Scott are so warm and funny and kind, they put us at ease and truly listened to what we wanted, and what was important to us. Having them with us on the day was such a joy- they added to the fun and beauty of the moment! The film they made reflects the joy and love that was all around, and it makes me cry with happiness every time I watch it. We weren't sure we wanted a wedding film, but I am so beyond happy that we have it- there are moments that I would have forgotten, or would never have seen, and it is such a gift to be able to revisit them or discover them through the incredible footage and editing skill of Sarah and Scott. My husband and I cannot recommend them highly enough. If you're in the market for wedding videographers, look no further. It doesn't get any better than these two. We love them!

Let me start by saying, I am so happy with the wedding film we received. It is really more of a personalized movie! The video quality, sound, and lighting were phenomenal. I have watched my feature film dozens of times and each time I burst into happy tears. The storyline of the feature film was pure perfection and captured every moment I could have asked for...and that was just the feature film. This is definitely an important investment and I'm am 100% satisfied with every penny we spent. We looked around at several other wedding film makers and Luminance Wedding films are hands down the best. I have gotten comments like, "I have never seen anything so amazing in a wedding film", "So beautiful, it's like I was there" "It brought me to tears." I am very happy with the photographs I received from my photographer, but this honestly tops them. The videos let me re-live the most wonderful day of my life over and over again. Sarah and her husband were sweet and professional and to be honest you really don't even know they are there, but they turn out spectacular work. I think a wedding film is a must have for a wedding and so why not go with the best.

Worth every penny! We are so happy with our wedding video. It is beautifully done and we will cherish it forever. Luminance is so talented and so easy to work with leading up to the wedding and on the day of! We would highly recommend them to all!

Luminance does an exceptional job. They are easy to work with, they are professional, and they provide stunning videos. Their attention to detail is exquisite, the editing (and choice of film music) is spot on, and their filming during the ceremony and reception is unobtrusive. I recommend them highly to any engaged couples looking for superb quality in their wedding film!

The greatest wedding investment! A wedding is a once in a lifetime experience, an extraordinary occasion that deserves to be remembered beyond still pictures. We are still amazed how Sarah and Scott captured that special day in May we shared with our close family and friends at the Hyatt Regency Tamaya. Never had I thought filming our wedding would be ideal for us, but it was the best choice overall. I choose Luminance Wedding Films after doing some research on videographers and wedding films. Originally, we planned for a traditional photographer, but after seen the quality of Luminance Wedding Films, I managed to convince my fiancé that having a wedding film would be a lifelong memory. The unique filming style of Luminance Wedding Films and visioning the end results made the whole experience exciting. From our initial interview with Sarah and Scott to the rehearsal the night before and finally the day of our wedding, they were so accommodating and best of all comfortable to be around. Their professionalism extended beyond us, but with our wedding vendors, even collaborating with our photographer; all commenting how they enjoyed working together. When we viewed our wedding trailer for the first time, not only was it a remarkable gift, but in 60 seconds they captured a day full of moments so elegant and precise that it left us breathless. The final version was so unbelievable that our family often said it felt like the day was relived every time it was watched. We are grateful for Sarah and Scott of Luminance Wedding Films for the memories that will live on – it was the greatest investment.

Our son got married in January 2016. My daughter-in-law wanted a snowy day, we prayed for months and sure enough the night of the rehearsal dinner it started snowing. Sarah and Scott from Luminance Wedding, had drones flying around both facilities and unbelievably captured the snow perfectly in the wedding video. Several family members were unable to attend the wedding, and through this magnificent wedding video of Connor and Melanie's wedding, those family members could watch the video as if they were there! No words can explain the quality and excellence of the wedding video. My husband and I have watched it so many times. The rehearsal and wedding day went so fast. It is such a blessing for all of us to be able to watch the video and remember that very special day back in January. Sarah and Scott had done Melanie's sister's wedding the prior year and so we knew it was going to be great, but it was absolutely amazing!!! We were so blessed and fortunate to have had them. Our children had the wedding of their dreams and Luminance Wedding Films captured the entire event! We love this company!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE our wedding film!!! Luminance films is hands down the best videography service you could invest in for your wedding day! Their films are beautiful and individually unique. So much time and effort will be spent on making your film magical. Sarah and Scott go above and beyond through the entire process to create the perfect film that captures the essence of your wedding day. They aren't obnoxious nor did they get in anyone's way, they were very professional and respectful to our guests and vendors. I can't stress enough the beauty and emotion they can capture and how artistically place it together to make these films timeless. It's something I will always treasure and will keep showing throughout the years. You can't get this from anyone else and considering how much time goes into this process, it's an amazing deal and well worth stretching your budget for one of these films!

So thankful my sister and brother-in-law gifted us Luminance Wedding Films for our wedding. They did an excellent job! Watching our video brought back our amazing day and captured it so well. We find something new and awesome in it every time we watch it. Their creativity is amazing! Just amazing. The wait was well worth it. They are very professional and organized and a delight to work with. Thanks Luminance Wedding Films!

Choosing Luminance to be a part of our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made. With the cost of a wedding adding up so quickly, I wasn't sure if a videographer would fit in our budget, but being able to relive our special day through such a beautiful perspective made this purchase the most valuable of them all. I had researched many videographers, but the Luminance films I watched had a quality, emotion, attention to detail, and beauty that I couldn't find elsewhere. Throughout our engagement and during our big day, Sarah and Scott were amazing to work with. And when we saw our short film for the first time, we couldn't stop smiling and watched it over and over again! I would highly recommend Luminance as a must-have part of your wedding. Not only will you not regret it, but you will have something to replay the best moments (that can feel like a dream in the days to follow) of the most special and wonderful day of your life.

Luminance Wedding Films are simply AMAZING. Truth be told, we weren't originally going to have a wedding video. While I fantasized about hiring a videographer, expenses for our destination wedding seemed to be increasing daily and my husband was skeptical of incurring the additional cost. Meeting with Sarah put us completely at ease and even my critical husband couldn’t be happier with our decision to bring her and Scott to Germany with us. Luminance Wedding Films did a spectacular job on our wedding video and we were blown away by both the quality and artistic vision film AND their ability to capture the happiest moments of our day. When planning our wedding, people constantly told me that the day flies by and that in the midst of the whirlwind you actually miss many of the details you spend months obsessing over. That was definitely the case for us and we are so relieved to be able to remember and relive all of these special moments through our video. THANK YOU SARAH, words are simply not enough to express my gratitude. You are truly talented and worth EVERY PENNY!

Let's just say I could not have asked for a better film of my wedding day! Sarah and Scott did amazing at capturing mine and my husband's personalities. They were extremely easy to work with and made sure I got what I wanted! (What more does a bride want, right?) My day started with Sarah and Scott coming and getting some shots of me getting ready. They made it as less awkward as they could and they did an excellent job at that! (I hate being in front of a camera!) I also really liked that we were able to be mic’d up throughout the day. I appreciated that they were able to capture everything that was said at the alter and during our toasts. (That way you can actually remember what you said…) Even after watching our short film almost 50 times (no exaggeration) it still gets me! If you're thinking about investing in a videographer, definitely go with Luminance, you won't be disappointed! Sarah and Scott are a perfect example of a business/vendor/couple that want the best for your day. They take no short cuts and make sure you get exactly what you want and more!

LOVE,LOVE,LOVE what you have done! Words just fail me right now... Ashley and Colby's film(Daddy loves Ashley) was absolutely beautiful....everything you put in was perfect!! I hope you know how very much we enjoyed having you and your husband to share their special day with our family. I have watched it three times, and it has made me cry all three times (happy tears of course :), this is the most perfect way to remember their special day. All that's left to be said...... is that they will live happily ever after :)

Before we started wedding planning, we knew we wanted a videographer. We wanted to ensure we captured our special day. As we started looking for a videographer, we noticed a difference in quality from Luminance versus their competitors. The cinematography was beautiful, the transitions were flawless, and there was such a love in the editing that you knew it took time and effort on their part. After we hired Luminance to film our wedding, Sarah was perfect. She took time and effort to get to know my now husband and I. She asked questions about how we met, how we interacted as a couple, and how we saw ourselves. She wanted to really get to know us so Luminance could represent us on film. The day of the wedding, Sarah and her husband arrived with cameras and microphones at the ready. There were certain items I had requested to be filmed (such as the letters and shots of the chapel and reception venue). But for the most part, the Luminance team melted into the background. They would encourage us to be ourselves and enjoy our party. And I think the fact they managed to work around us allowed them to see us and not a “fake” video version of us. When I was finally able to see the finished result, I cried. Everything about my video was what I wanted but so much more. As I watched it, I could see the love and the happiness that had filled me that day. The Luminance team caught all those special wedding moments, all the tears of joy, all of the laughter; but most importantly they filmed us. When I look back at this video and think about my wedding 5, 10, 50 years from now; I will be able to remember how much love I felt that day from my husband and how happy I was. I can do that because it is all there in the film. Luminance did not just capture my wedding day. Luminance was able to capture me, my husband, and my relationship on one of the most important days of my life. And that is not something just any videographer can do.

First and foremost, I must say, WOW! Luminance Wedding Films by far exceeded our expectations. I mean, we knew they were very talented, but after seeing our wedding film, talented doesn't even begin to describe their skills. I am also proud to say that I can call Sarah and Scott our friends after working with them. From the first minute we met them, we knew we had made the right choice. They were as friendly as friendly can be and listened to us, and made us feel so comfortable with what we wanted to see in our film. They answered all of our questions in detail and also did a lot of research when it came to the Hindu rituals that were to be performed during our ceremony and the days leading up to the event. At anytime if we emailed them, they would respond promptly and again, answer every questions thoroughly. Our film, what can I say about our film? It is the most amazing thing I have ever had the pleasure of viewing and I will cherish it for a lifetime. The ability to go back and relive our special day in such a captivating way will always be priceless to me and my Husband. Luminance Wedding Films is by far the best videographer team out there. Worth every penny! They are truly the BEST!!!!

When my husband and I discovered Luminance's webpage after our engagement, we were immediately sold. We watched film after film and just could not get enough! The short films are truly spectacular and magical. Sarah and Scott definitely did not disappoint when it came to our short-film. It was incredible to experience the laughter, tears, joy and magic of our day all over again. Sarah and Scott not only captured our fairy-tale day, but they turned it into a work of art. Thank you so much Sarah and Scott-- you are incredible artists and wonderful to work with! We are so grateful that we will have this film for the rest of our lives.

My husband Peter and I made many decisions before he actually put a ring on it! Falling in love with Luminance and Sarah and Scott's incredible work was one of the things that happened before Peter proposed. I had seen an early film of theirs and knew right away they were the only choice for capturing our wedding day, whenever that day would come. A few months later Peter and I viewed the video of our close friends Niki and Billy, another exquisite Luminance product and from then on the deal was sealed. After we were engaged we immediately contacted Sarah to make sure that she was available for our special day. Thank goodness she was. Sarah and Scott, your one of a kind work showed us just as we are. As a couple in our early thirties we have lived through our twenties and came together at that point in our lives where we don’t have all the wisdom we will but are entering a more calm and mature stage. You captured that, our love for one another, devotion to family, spectacular friends, and of course the love and appreciation we have for our Greek heritage. You focused on so many special parts of our day and your extra attention to the love I hold for the St. George community is appreciated more than you know. I was beyond excited to marry Peter and start our lives together while knowing that meant I’d be moving away and leaving behind something I loved very much . I could barely keep it together when addressing the community I know my Yiayia and Papou loved so dearly and has been such a huge part of my family’s life. Although it is hard leaving those things behind marrying the man of dreams and moving away means being welcomed into another loving community. The careful attention you paid to the details of our wedding day are remarkable. The video opening with the chanting of my Nouno (godfather), our Greek Key Stephana, the shoes Peter bought me months before our engagement, and the locations you filmed us in are just a few of those details you captured and are all very special to us. Your work continues to grow in excellence by taking into consideration the couples you work with, what they want conveyed in their video, and the special bond and stories they share. Our family has watched the video repeatedly and they cry each time and we will cherish it forever. You are very special people and we are beyond thankful for your time, effort and hard work! You are AMAZING!!! Andrea and Peter Konidas

My husband and I reviewed work by a number of videographers, but Luminance was in a completely different class. During the planning process, I went to their website more times than I would like to admit and watched all of their films...multiple times! I knew they were the perfect choice to document our day. Sarah and Scott have perfected their art into something truly magical. Their creativity and love for their work show in every film. Each film tells a beautiful story, while capturing the unique personality of each couple. Our film did not disappoint. It immediately transported us back to the joy and love we felt on our wedding day. It reminded us of special moments that had been forgotten. It brought on tears and laughter, and was just as amazing as I expected. Hiring Luminance was the best vendor decision we made, and I highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding. The wedding day goes by in such a blur and so many moments are forgotten. With our film, we are able to relive every moment! Thank you, Sarah and Scott!

Sarah & Scott (Luminance Wedding Films), I knew we had to have you as our wedding videographer from the moment we saw one of your wedding films. Your work is spectacular and you really have a gift for capturing the love between a couple on their wedding day. Thank you for our amazing wedding film. We really can't thank you enough for your time, effort, and talent! You are seriously the best and we are so grateful to have met you. Thanks for making our wedding day into a piece of art for us to treasure. We love it! For all the future brides and grooms. You must hire Luminance Wedding Films. It gives you the opportunity to relive your special day over and over again!

We selected Luminance Wedding Films as our wedding videographer after reviewing a multitude of their videos and researching several vendors in NM and surrounding states. The term “videography” however, does not do justice to their products; Sarah and her team are truly “cinematographers” that capture each moment of the event and compile them in a way that enhances and brings these moments to life every time we watch the film. We truly cannot put into words how incredibly thankful we are to have chosen their team to document our day. We’re so very thankful that they took the time, effort and hard work to make our film EXACTLY how we imagined it to be. We sat down and watched this with our family a few months following our wedding day and we truly couldn't be happier with the final product. It was produced with such quality & professionalism and we manage to smile, laugh & cry every single time we watch it. We are so thankful to the Luminance team for creating such beautiful a documentation of such an important day in our lives. This team truly has a gift for this form of art! All Our Love, Danielle & Ruben

When we first began planning our wedding, I knew I wanted a videographer. I had seen Luminance's work from friends' weddings and there was no question: I wanted them to film our wedding. They set themselves apart from everyone else. They were storytellers; they didn't have a formula; and every video was magical and unique to the couple. The day comes and goes so fast. You suffer "bride's brain" from all the excitement and have a hard time remembering those special moments that you thought about during the planning process. And with our wedding video we can. My piece of advice to brides is to plan and budget for a wedding videographer, specifically Luminance. Sarah is kind, reliable and creative -- it never felt like we were being filmed or staged. Her team just blended in with our friends and family. Watching our video bring us and our families much joy -- to look back on a day that means so much to us with the clarity, details and moments that Luminance captured is the best gift we could ask for. Thank you, Luminance!!

My husband and I were not initially planning on hiring a wedding videographer for our wedding in Santa Fe. During a planning meeting, our DJ suggested that we consider hiring a videographer and encouraged us to watch one of Sarah’s films. I fell in love with her work. One film in particular I watched so many times that I feel like I know the couple personally! I knew we had to explore the option of working with Luminance. We met with Sarah the following week over Skype and she was so easy to talk with and was a wonderful listener. We instantly felt very comfortable with her and were confident that Luminance Wedding Films would capture all of the special moments during our wedding day. Sarah and Scott were so fun to work with. We had so much fun with them, but more importantly, they are true professionals. They know the moments they need to capture and they caught every event throughout the day without being over-bearing or in the way. Although we did not have any budget for a video, we decided it was an investment that we were willing to make and I am SO happy that we did. Our highlight video blew me away. I have watched our video over and over and each time I notice another detail that Sarah took the time to capture and include. I realize now that the critical job of a videographer is not just to capture your wedding day on a video, it is how they put the pieces of your wedding day together to capture the feeling of the day, the joy of the couple and the excitement felt between all of the important people who are part of the day! Luminance Wedding Films are skilled at pulling those feelings into their films. We shared our film with friends and family and have had so many people call, text and email comments after watching the video. Here are a few notes we received which truly attest the quality of the film and the feelings that Sarah can relay through her amazing work: “Your wedding video, wow!” “Ok, this is ridiculous!!! Incredible! And what an amazing recap of your day. So gorgeous! Love, love, love it!!” “Are you kidding me?! This is AMAZING!! I felt like I was watching a movie. And of course I cried. Wow.” “That's one heck of a video! Well done on the parts of both videographer and wedding party! Simply stunning!” Thank you Luminance Films for perfectly documenting our wonderful wedding day!

My wife and I decided to use Luminance for our wedding day because we had multiple family members and friends who have used them and they came highly recommended. Sarah and Scott were amazing to work with and truly cared about our special day! I am so thankful that we chose them film our wedding day because time went by way too quickly. I had high expectations about our wedding video and when we watched it, we were blown away. Our video is perfect in every single way. They have such amazing creativity and are true artists in the way they put together all their pieces of film and create an amazing story about our special day! I hardly noticed them during the wedding day but they captured everything! They created an amazing work of art that my family and I will love forever! I cannot express how highly I recommend Sarah and Scott with Luminance! My wife and I couldn't be happier with them and the end result!

Luminance is who any bride would want capturing their wedding day. I had no words after watching my highlight film! Some of our friends, who couldn't attend, said after watching they felt as if they were there! The small little details of our day were captured perfectly!

Hiring Luminance was hands down one of the best decisions I made when planning my wedding. They are professional, warm, patient and incredibly creative. They were an absolute joy on our wedding day and the video completely blew all expectations out of the park. They were able to capture our personality and relationship perfectly and we are so fortunate to have those memories for years to come. I cannot say enough good things about them!

We can't even begin to say how wonderful Luminance Wedding Films was throughout the whole experience! Sarah was easy to work with and made us feel very comfortable! We loved working with her! The emotions and details that they captured both in the highlight film and our docuedit was AMAZING! It felt like we were reliving our wedding all over again! We have watched our highlight film at least 1,000 times and the feeling is the same every time! We have had so many compliments from friends and family everyone thinks it is just as perfect as we do! It's the perfect keepsake! If we are ever in need of a videographer again we know exactly who to call :)

Luminance did an amazing job with our wedding video! The moments she and her husband captured do an excellent job of telling "our story". When we got our highlight video back, we watched it about 8 times in one day! Our video had a great balance of showing the fun and happy moments on our wedding day, as well as the sentimal mements that are also very important. It was perfect! We also loved how she captured the town of Taos and the entire scenery of the venue and reception. It was so neat to see all of this amidst the wedding festivities. Sarah and her husband were VERY easy to work with. I have to note that Sarah and her team agreed to film our wedding even though they were flying out the next day to Seattle for another wedding. She graciously agreed, and we are so glad she decided to film our wedding day. We would recommend her to anyone!

Sarah & Scott are so talented and amazing to work with! Their creativity and love for what they do truly shows in all of their work. They get to know you as a couple and create a video that reflects your love. Sarah & Scott traveled to Whidbey Island, Washington for our destination wedding. They were the first vendor we booked and the only vendor we brought with us from New Mexico. They worked great with our photographer and other vendors and have been so flexible with our needs. We can't wait to share the films with our friends and family!

Working with Sarah at Luminance was such a treat. I initially was not going to do a wedding video, but after seeing her work online and crying over wedding films of people I didn't even know, I knew I had to have her. The final product that we received was amazing! My husband and I can't stop watching it. We've received tons of compliments from all sorts of people with how professional the video looks. Sarah is so friendly and just a joy to be around. I could totally see us being friends if I lived in Albuquerque. That being said, planning a wedding video from out of state was so easy. Sarah was extremely helpful and always available when we needed her. You won't regret using them for your big day!!

I think that I have watched our wedding highlight video about 5 times a day since Sarah uploaded it last week! The more I watch it the more I fall in love with it. The amount of detail that Sarah was able to capture is truly stunning and the way she pieced everything together was just wonderful! I can't begin to imagine the amount of effort that went into filming, cutting, and editing but I do know that the result was extremely beautiful! In addition, Sarah was able to capture everything special about our wedding day in one 7 minute video-AMAZING! It is something that we will look forward to showing our children and something we can watch for many years to remember that special day.

We love our film! Our wedding was in New Mexico but we planned everything from San Francisco, and Sara help make video planning a breeze. From the start, she was very nice and professional over the phone and by email. Once we met in person she was charming and open to what we wanted in our video, but asked us to trust her creativity. Sara did a great job capturing who we are and captured timeless memories of our special day. On wedding day, it was game day for Sara and her crew! Their execution was nothing less than professional. We’ve had numerous compliments on the video and I personally can’t stop watching it. We are so happy we have this video to treasure. Thank you Luminance! For future bride and grooms that are debating on hiring a videographer, I would say hire Luminance Wedding Films! This is a great way to see your hard work in planning, witness how happy your guest were for you on your wedding day, and to see your love in action.

I began researching videographers for our big day about a year before we were even engaged…. Yes I was one of those brides. I happened upon Luminance Films and watched video after video absolutely in ahhhh on how magical their films were. All of the detail, the beauty, all of the special moments, touched my heart. I literally watched their wedding videos all weekend crying tears of joy for people I didn’t even know. From that moment, I knew that I had to contact Sarah. I should preface this by explaining that my Mr. Right was not on board with having a film made, neither were our families….. They just didn’t really understand the ‘necessity’ factor around it… but I was out to prove them wrong. During our first meeting with Sarah, she was so friendly, bubbly and really took the time to listen to the type of wedding we were trying to achieve… shabby chic, vintage glam. I would definitely categorize myself as a very detail oriented person… somewhat of a ‘control freak’, but all in all very particular on ‘what I want’ type of gal. With working with Sarah and her team, I threw that out of the window and told her that we wanted our video to be sentimental, sacred and timeless. I didn’t want something scripted or artificial and with only those three words and little to no direction from my then fiancé and I; Sarah was hired. Our day was magical! Everything and more that we could have imagined and knowing that Sarah and her team were there along the way, made it even more perfect. When we received our wedding film link we watched it with tears of joy, feelings of love and total excitement. After watching our video, I turned to my husband and asked him if he thought it was worth it because he was on the fence in the beginning and he said, “Absolutely, it is perfect; it was worth every last penny.” The next day, my parents were sent the link with instruction to call us once they watched it so we could get their reaction. My mom called literally sobbing and she couldn’t get her words out to express how much she loved it. Mr. Right and I received call after call from family and friends literally in tears saying how much they loved the film. In my opinion, our video is a timeless masterpiece that we will enjoy FOREVER! I am so happy that we decided to splurge and have a wedding short film created by Luminance Films. Our wedding day would have not been complete without it. To me, a picture is a thousand words, but a video, a video is something that you can watch over and over and OVER again to relive your wedding... from the breath you take when you say those magical words, “I Do” to that real-time first kiss as husband as wife… to me there is no limit on the amount of money to spend to have that. Sarah and her team have created memories for a lifetime for my husband, family and our friends. She has the ability and talent to capture moments that are priceless. If you are on the fence with deciding whether or not to hire Luminance Films… DO IT!!! You will not be disappointed! I would literally regret, for the rest of my life, with every ounce of my body, if we didn’t hire Sarah to have this amazing gift, this once in a lifetime special moment that we can cherish and pass down to our future children and beyond. Thank you Luminance Films for making our day so special and giving us a treasure to last a lifetime!

Luminance produced an absolutely wonderful film of our wedding. Sarah (the principal owner) somehow captured amazing shots throughout the event without ever being intrusive. She has a real knack for being in the right place at the right time to capture all the special moments that make up a wedding day! The final film has the production values of a professional Hollywood film. The shots are clear and steady and the editing is fluid and very thoughtful! Sarah was a pleasure to work with! She is clearly a perfectionist about her work and seems to really enjoy doing it. We are so happy we chose Luminance to film our wedding!! Luminance exceeded our already high expectations! People who watched the film told us they cried and were moved by it!

I am so happy I choose Luminance Wedding Films for our wedding! They were wonderful to work with and they truly captured the special moments of our wedding day. It was so amazing to watch the highlight film and get to relive our wedding day over again. From the music to all of the details they captured, I really could not be happier. Sarah and her husband were great to work with and they made us feel comfortable the entire time. This is something that we will treasure forever and more importantly, share with our children one day. I highly recommend Luminance Wedding Films!

From start to finish, Sarah from Luminance was WONDERFUL to work with. As a destination bride, it was stressful to find a great videographer that you trust, and most importantly, whose style you admire. I loved the films that were already on their website, and was confident they would be a good fit for us as well. After talking to Sarah over the phone, I immediately knew she would be amazing to work with! She is friendly, funny, smart, and creative. She made everything easy, was SUPER flexible, and the finished product was the most amazing memory we have of our wedding. They caught every emotion that weddings bring, and bring every person who watches the video to tears. Seriously, I have gotten so many compliments on it! I curse the day that I ever thought "We don't need a videographer, we will have a photographer...." NOTHING COMPARES TO THIS VIDEO! Thank you so much Sarah and Luminance Wedding Films for giving us the best video ever!

I am so happy we chose Luminance to document our wedding day! My husband wasn't so sure we needed a videographer but I knew I'd regret it if we didn't. He was so impressed with the quality equipment they use and the videos they created were so much better than any we had seen. It is evident the time they take to create a beautiful video, unique to each couple. Sarah is so professional and talented and she takes the time to get to know each couple she works with. Our video is SO us! And that's because she knew us! Everyone who's seen it says, "that is so you!" or "so Luis!" (my husband). Our personalities and love for each other was depicted so well and it was just so honest - the video captured the effortlessness of it all. I couldn't be happier with our wedding video and I'm so happy to have such a beautiful piece of work to share with others for years to come! Thank you so much Sarah!

Luminance Wedding Films are absolutely amazing!! Two years ago we hired Sarah and her husband to video my son's wedding. They traveled to Ruidoso, New Mexico for our mountain wedding. We are so very thankful we had her, because the wedding pictures did not turn out like we had expected. We were devastated. Then we got our videos. She captured everything. The colors were so vibrant, clear just beautiful. So, it was only inevitable that when my daughter got married this summer I had to have Luminance Wedding Films. The only worry I had was would she come to Texas. Sarah was more than glad to come. I can not say enough about this very talented lady. Thank you for all the wonderful memories!!! Jana

WOW! Luminance Wedding Films is the best videographer around!! They did such a fabulous job on everything. Were there on time, so personable, professional, and overall wonderful to work with. They truly have it all together! I did not have one doubt, and they helped make my wedding go as smoothly as possible! I would recommend them to anybody and everybody, no matter where you are from! Thanks Luminance for making my dreams come true!! Josh & Janea Pridmore

In planning my wedding, I was not completely convinced I needed a cinematographer. Everything involved in planning a wedding is so expensive as it is and I thought a wedding video would be one added cost that wasn't necessary. I WAS COMPLETELY WRONG. I am so incredibly grateful that I hired Sarah because the day after our wedding I woke up and struggled to remember so much of the day before. The actual day of the wedding was a whirlwind. The days and weeks after, I felt like I had blacked out from a combination of excitement, nervousness and an overload of family and friends. Waking up and only remembering bits and pieces of this incredibly special day I had spent months planning left me with a huge feeling of dread. However, I was comforted knowing that Sarah had at least captured some of the day. Then when I watched our wedding video, all of the details from the wedding day came rushing back to me. All of the special moments that I witnessed and even some that I missed were there. With this video I will always have the ability to re-experience every gorgeous detail and all of the emotion that photographs alone cannot begin to capture. I will remember forever exactly what my dad said in his speech. The service and product Sarah and her husband produce are not only incredible, but completely invaluable. This is the one wedding service that was worth every penny paid and more. I cannot express enough how grateful I am for their gifting my husband and I the ability re-experience our wedding day over and over.

Luminance created a beautiful film that my husband and I can watch and remember our special day from beginning to end. Sarah was professional yet she kept the filming light and fun, and we had a blast. I was blown away that she captured all the little moments we weren't able to see on the wedding day. You won't go wrong with booking Luminance to capture your special moments of the most important day of your life.

My husband and I are obsessed with our wedding video done by Luminance Wedding Films! It looks straight out of a movie and it was so nice to see all the things that we didn't get to on our special day! Sarah was so incredible to work with. She was kind and professional. She kept me updated on the status of the video and repeatedly thanked us for not only our business, but our patience as well. The wait was beyond worth it. We are so happy with the final product and we will be recommending Luminance to all of our friends!!! SooJee

Where do I start ... I cannot express how thankful I am that we found Luminance Wedding Films. I searched and searched and watched so many videos throughout wedding planning, and when I saw LWF, I knew I had to have them shoot our wedding. Their videos speak for themselves, and the tugs on my heartstrings were convincing, but after emailing and meeting with Sarah, I was completely sold. I'm a stickler for customer service, and Sarah has this wonderful way of giving you her full attention, excitement, and love - and carries that into your wedding day. And it shows, both on her face, and in her work. From beginning to end Sarah and LWF were great; they were speedy with answering emails, eager to meet and chat all about our big day, and assuring that they had it all under control and were going to capture our day amazingly. And that they did. My husband took some convincing of hiring a videographer (with our budget, etc), but when we got the highlight film back and sat down and watched it, I looked over and he was *crying* and said to me, "I'm SO glad we did this!!" I've watched the video over and over, and every single time I go back to that day and my heart skips and I can't breath, feeling so thankful to have this footage, and to be able to watch that day over and over again, that came and went so quickly. I could talk about LWF forever, I truly am so unexplainably thankful that we chose them for our wedding day, and I wouldn't recommend making any other choice. Our flowers have died, the cake was smashed/eaten ;), the center pieces are long gone and in pieces, our wedding party and family traveled back to their homes, things got lost, broken, forgotten. But this video, this video we will have forever, and we will cherish it forever. Thank you, endlessly, to Luminance Wedding Films for giving us such a wonderful vendor experience, and an incredible video that we absolutely love!!!

Luminance wedding films is the best videographer in Albuquerque. They not only document every aspect of the wedding, but they also create art, that provokes so much emotion and joy, with their films. We used them for our crazy big, fat, Greek wedding on May 18, and we can't wait to see the video. Sarah and her crew are the best and they don't miss a moment!

Sarah and her husband were amazing! My husband and I are completely happy with our experience with them. We love the videos they put together, both the full length and the highlight. Every aspect of it was above and beyond anything we have seen from other companies. We also appreciate how flexible and creative they were in getting beautiful footage, even with very poor weather. I am so happy that we chose Luminance to do our wedding film and enjoyed aspect of our experience with them.

When my husband and I began planning our wedding and were going through the careful process of selecting our vendors, neither of us saw the need for a videographer. At the time it just seemed like an extra expense, and in our minds hiring a great photographer would be enough. About three weeks before our wedding, our thoughts on having a videographer completely changed when we saw the highlight film from my brother and sister-in-law's September wedding. Our jaws dropped and we were in complete awe of the beautiful film that Sarah Kanafani had created. We felt like we were crazy by wanting to try and hire a videographer less than three weeks before the wedding, but after seeing that video we knew that it was something we would regret not having. We contacted Sarah, and by some stroke of luck, she still had the date available for our wedding. This was one of the best decisions that we made in the entire wedding planning process, even if it was at the last minute. Sarah and her husband Scott were an absolute pleasure to work with. They went above and beyond on the day of our wedding in order to get the most incredible shots. They were completely professional in every aspect, while at the same time having the ability to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We waited anxiously for our highlight film to be completed, and when it was done we had the same jaw dropping sense of awe that we had when we watched my brother and sister-in-law's film a few months earlier. Luminance Wedding Films did not disappoint! The highlight film captured all of the love, laughter, and fun of our wedding day. I told Sarah that the film was totally "us". I am so thankful that we decided to go with Luminance Wedding Films for our wedding videographer. The highlight film and the wedding video will be something that we treasure for the rest of our lives. I would highly recommend Luminance Wedding Films to anyone who is considering hiring a a wedding videographer!

Where to even begin? Recruiting Luminance to chronicle the most important day of my life up to now, was the best decision I've ever made! (Besides, of course, that I decided to marry my now-husband :) .) Sarah was the most competent vendor we worked with - she was on top of EVERYTHING and thought of every detail so we didn't have to. She went the extra mile and touched base with me a week before the wedding, contacted all of our other vendors to coordinate with them, and came to our rehearsal which was inconveniently in the middle of a work-day. It was so refreshing to not have to worry about coordinating with her. She was so good, that she practically replaced any need for a wedding coordinator... Seriously! Once we decided to go with Luminance we didn't have to think about much else. She was kind, fun to work with and made us and all of our guests feel completely comfortable. Looking back, I can't even remember seeing her video camera at all during the evening - she was completely discrete about getting some pretty precious moments. And the video... wow. Every time I watch it, it's like I'm back in that day, experiencing the joy, excitement and beauty all over again. I would recommend her to anyone without any hesitation. If you are looking for a videographer (and even if you aren't) Luminance is worth every penny. And if you are on a tight budget? Better to send your guests home hungry then get married without Luminance there to document it.

My husband and I hired the Luminance team to capture our October 6, 2012 wedding. While many friends and family members gave us mixed reviews on the importance of documenting the wedding with a video, we are overjoyed we made room in our budget. We have so many beautiful memories of our wedding, but our wedding video captured the love, commitment and fun we had throughout the evening. We cry every time we watch the video! The Luminance team, in particular Sarah, spent so much time getting to know us as a couple and ensuring our personalities were incorporated in the video. She was patient and understanding about needs, budget restraints and made us feel so comfortable throughout the filming process. We cannot praise Luminance enough. We cannot wait to watch our wedding every year and remember why decided to take this leap in love. A million thanks Luminance for your passion, creativity and dedication!

In the beginning shane and I were a little nervous to have our wedding filmed. At first we thought it maybe too much and it would be distracting to have a bunch of cameras around. We changed our minds the moment we met Sarah. We fell in love with her sweet and down to earth personality. She made us feel 100% comfortable and all of our reservations went right out the window. By the time it was our wedding day we had communicated with Sarah so much that we felt like she was a friend of ours, which only made us feel more comfortable. Luminance Films and there staff were so professional and talented. We totally trusted what would come of our wedding video. Then- it was here! Our highlight video- We were so anxious and excited to see it! My husband and I watched it for the first time by ourselves. It was AMAZING! As tears streamed down our faces we were able to experience our wedding day all over again. We got to see it from our guests perspective and see all the minor details, that we missed,from all the long planning, come to life. Then my family and friends saw it and the amazement poured in. One of our favorite comments that we received from a friend of was "wow. This is like a trailer to movie I really want to see". It's true, Luminance films turned our wedding day into a fairy tale movie. It is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives and we can't wait to share it with our children one day, and for them to share it with their children... Thank you so much luminance films for capturing our special day so beautifully--we can now relive and treasure how great it was forever.

Luminance Wedding Films did Sean and Liz's wedding, on a mountain top in Angel Fire, New Mexico. When I arrived off the chair lift I saw Sarah with the bride and that was the last time I saw her or Scott, the rest of the day they were not in my view. When I saw the highlight video, I was amazed. It perfectly showed the emotions of the day, Sean and Liz’s love for each other and all their hard work in the little details. The sweeping vistas, the laughter shared and the voice overs of the Liz’s grandfather’s prayer along with the pastor's service were all so beautiful. I ran into the pastor last week and his comment of the video was “It was stunning”. I could not have said it better. Thank you so very much for creating such a beautiful video for all of Sean and Liz's family and friends to enjoy. God Bless you both. Shirley, Mother of the Groom

We just viewed the highlight film of our daughter's wedding and were blown away with the quality of Sarah and Scott's work. They truly managed to capture the important moments of the day which was so evidently seen with their creative editing intertwined perfectly with the music. From start to finish their work is exquisite! They created beautiful memories for us that will last a lifetime.

We are thoroughly thrilled with the phenomenal work of Sarah, who owns Luminance Wedding Films! We received the most professional and beautifully packaged film of our daughter's fairy tale wedding you can imagine. Sarah was amazing as she choreographed behind the lens of her camera such perfection, set to lyrics of music that captured their love story. We have received so many compliments about the two vimeos on the Luminance Wedding Film Website. Sarah's keen eye for those important expressions of love and details brought great joy to all of our family members and friends that were unable to attend the wedding as well.. Sarah quickly posted vimeos on her informative website making it possible for them to view those unique moments and feel connected to the events of the day. Thank you beyond words to both you and your husband, Scott! We will treasure your work forever!

Luminance was wonderful to work with !! Fun and outgoing !!

My husband Pedro and I decided late in the planning to go with Luminance wedding films and 3 months after the wedding I couldn't be happier with that choice! The quality of our film and uniqueness is amazing. We have so many family and friends who have watched our short film and wish they would have gone with Luminance Wedding films. I suggest that every bride make the investment.

After seeing a luminance film I knew I had to have them be a part of our day. I was nervous because of the quality that they would be out of our budget. Then I met Sarah, she is fantastic and was able to make it work. Now that I have the finished product I can not imagine not having it. She was able to capture all of the emotion from that day and express it in such an amazing, beautiful way. Well, well worth the money spend and more! We now have our memories preserved forever! :)
