We received the wedding video shortly after the wedding. BDF was very flexible and responsive with edits we wanted to make, such as trying different song choices and excluding shots that showed my bad side. Overall, our experience with this videography team was phenomenal.

We planned this New York-wedding from California and felt so comfortable in their hands. Our photographer was a DREAM! We first met him for our engagement session and he went above and beyond! And our wedding pictures, my gosh - they are stunning and captured the true love expressed on that day. The icing on the cake was the video, which I may or may not watch every day haha.
Not only is their work professional and very well done, but in their hands, you can rest assured your beautiful moments will be captured by their team.

We had to postpone our 2020 wedding a year due to COVID and byDesign worked with us to be available for our new date without any change fees. On our wedding day, the videographers ...
were on-time, professional, and got some amazing shots while also staying out of the way of our still photographer. It did take a few months to get the initial edit for our trailer-style edit delivered, but we weren't in a huge rush to share it. It's very easy to make notes on the edit drafts using their web portal to make your final product exactly how you envision it. You can even upload your own music for them to use, though we went with the music they had because it was fine. Communication before and after the event was good, and you you can always expect a same-day reply. I highly recommend byDesign films, though if you want your edit ASAP, I suggest working that out well in advance so perhaps they can give you a package that prioritizes that.

When looking for a videographer it was not a easy task. Most were extremely expensive and hard to get ahold of until we contacted bydesign films. They literally made the process so...
easy and affordable with many options available. Our videographer did an absolute amazing job on the wedding day it’s like he wasn’t even their, he made it seem so effortless and made it extremely easy. It felt like if he was one of our friends. The shots that they got are stunning and literally take our breath away each and every time we watch it. We went with a short film and literally was everything we would ever and imagine and more. They say that the day will be over before you know it and it is so true. Bydesign film made it so we can relive that day over and over again! I’m telling you they are a must! It literally looks like you are watching a movie . I would say if you are on the fence just do it! I promise you won’t regret it and they are the perfect videographer to make you wedding video dreams come true like they did ours! Would recommend over and over again!

We loved byDesign Films! We had a very unique wedding with two different ceremonies and a reception all in one day. They did a great job incorporating the most important aspects of...
both traditions and were very involved in the planning process. We also did the aerial footage which turned out incredible, we are beyond thrilled with all the footage captured!

We just sat down to watch our film. Thank you SO much! It is absolutely perfect and they took all of our suggestions and added them in seamlessly. It was a pleasure working with t...
hem and we really appreciated the hard work of their team. I love having the highlight film to show family and friends who couldn't be there a glimpse into our special day. I also love watching it just to re-live our wedding. They captured it so well! The full length film is a great keepsake and it was all done so professionally. Our cinematographer was great and worked well with our photographer. Thank you again so much! We are absolutely in love with it!

We used byDesign films for our wedding in Santa Barbara and they were amazing! The lead-up before the wedding everything was super organized - Brittany is awesome and very on top o...
f things. Plus the day of our videographers were so professional and really made us feel at ease - almost like they weren't there - and I mean that in a GREAT way. The final product: both the short and long video are priceless. They captured the day of our wedding in every way. I can't imagine not having some of those moments on film. Thank you byDesign! It was perfect! :)

Our entire experience with this company, from the time we booked them, and now through the post-wedding/production process, has been nothing but smooth and simple. Their packages a...
nd pricing are both fair and transparent, and we're beyond anxious to see the finished product once they've worked their magic!! Alex and Nathanael [our videographers] were both extremely professional and reassuring the day of, which is so important to a flustered bride with a million and one things going on at once! They faded effortlessly into the background, but were also noticeably around to capture the most crucial moments. I cannot say enough good things about byDesign Films!!!

Working with byDesign Films was such a pleasant experience! They were actually my only vendor who would initiate e-mails with us and check in to see how everything was going/if we ...
needed anything. (All other vendors we had to initiate conversations, which is normal but byDesign was so so helpful). They answered all our questions so quickly. They were so helpful when I kept changing my mind about my "must-have" shots. Even after the wedding, when I filled out my questionnaire about what to include/not to include- I changed my mind after 48 hours and they were totally fine with me re-doing the questionnaire. The day of was so smooth and Edison was so professional and fun to work with! Bonus- he had worked our venue before so we knew he had a eye for what to capture.
Very very worth the price!!
