What an absolute pleasure it was to work with Richard as photographer and Kevin as videographer for my wedding. They both gave off such calm, gentle, "go with the flow" energy, it was super helpful on such a stressful day! I felt strongly that both captured the beautiful, whimsical essence of my fairy garden wedding. I HIGHLY recommend both Melo and Richard/Kevin!! Thank you guys for the fantastic work!!

We had a great time working with our videographers. The customer support was amazing from the team that was in charge of our big day! We also had some kinks and snags along the way but Bydesign films seriously stepped up to help us out. We excitedly reccomend them to whoever may be looking for a good videographer in Sacramento!

Afterward, they were in regular communication with us about our videos. While it took a little longer than we would have liked to get the videos back, we LOVED the way they came out. And we had some minor editing requests, which they readily implemented. Would definitely recommend working with their team.

We are so grateful for their work and all that they did for us! Great experience ❤️

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!

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!!

inful to watch, or they were movie material but entirely out of our budget. When I stumbled upon byDesign Films, I knew I had found our wedding videographer right away. Their films are authentic, beautiful, high quality, and diverse. There are many different packages to choose from to work with your budget and everyone I spoke with from day one of inquiring was kind, approachable and very easy to communicate with. I was a very particular bride, and the videographers and editors delivered actually what I wanted, down the the filter of the highlight film. It is an incredible feeling to relive the best parts of your wedding day over and over again, and thanks to byDesign Films we are able to do just that! We have watched our film many times already, and we only received it about a month ago. Within the first 10 seconds of the clip, I am already tearing up. I highly recommend choosing byDesign Films for our wedding. You will not regret your decision!

along with every other important moment. Taylor was so helpful on our song selection as it took us a few months after the wedding to decide on and they still produced the film in the promised time frame. Additionally, we had a few edit requests and they too their time to perfect each edit and make the film everything we wanted and more!

The people at byDesign Films really knew how to tell the story of our special weekend and did an unbelievable job of capturing our Indian Wedding. The videographers byDesign hired ...
were very warm and friendly, and made us feel comfortable that they were going to capture our special weekend exactly how we wanted it. Our wedding party mentioned over and over again how impressive the production value of our videography was. The videographers knew exactly how they wanted to shoot our event, and listened to all of our ideas and incorporated what was important us.
Our byDesign coordinator, Vanessa Walden, was incredible in making sure that our video turned out exactly how we wanted it. We were stunned by how cinematic and beautiful our highlight film and full-length video were. During the entire process, she kept us in the loop, gave us a vast library of songs to choose from for our films, and most importantly, implemented any changes that we wanted to our films before we shared them with friends and family.
Could not have been happier with our decision to have byDesign shoot our wedding!

Though we never met in person until the day of the wedding, communication was so simple, easy, and quick. When we finally did meet our videographers the day of the wedding, they were very friendly and again easy to talk to and work with. They worked real well with our photographer which was so important because I know how it can be difficult when the two get in each other’s way. The videos were delivered in a timely manner and were better than we could have hoped for. Though behind the scenes it seemed like a chaotic day, the videos made it seem like everything was effortless and smooth. They captured all of the right moments and we look forward to looking back on this day years from now.

Finding a high quality videographer for our wedding was a top priority and we have absolutely 0 regrets choosing to work with ByDesign Films.
From the time we reached out to BDF ...
more than a year ago at this point, to months after the wedding when the films were complete, everyone on the team was kind, responsive, helpful and professional. We cannot thank the team and especially Sherri for making this experience such an enjoyable one.
I know our asks were extensive and our expectiations were high, but the team was BEYOND patient with us.
Our hopes and expectations were fearfully high - I worried that no one would meet them. However, the film the ByDesign Films created not only meets but exceeded our expectations. I cannot put into words how thankful we are that we chose y'all to work with. The videos bring back so many amazing memories and bring tears to my eyes each time I watch them. They are absolutely beautiful. The music, the footage, the editing... its all perfect. I do not understand how the team was able to create a film that so accurately portrayed our love and our wedding day.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating such a beautiful keepsake for my husband and me. We will forever be grateful for finding you.

Hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the day we were engaged (let’s be honest... prior to that..) we wanted to have a cinematographer at our wedding....
Then we started shopping around and sadly took it out of our budget... then we happened to come across byDesign films (I may or may not have been still dreaming of our wedding video)... After a great email exchange with Zack and with only 3 months to go until our wedding, we found a way to make it work with his help. Once we confirmed, Zack put us in contact with Brittany who was SO AMAZING through the entire process. She emailed us back every time in what felt like mintues and was very communicative and helpful from day one. Fast forward to our perfect wedding day.. this amazing couple (Dakin and Laura) showed up to start filming. They never once made us feel awkward or uncomfortable, everything was so natural and FUN. The worst part about our whole experience was the anticipation waiting for our films to arrive, but even then, they came faster than expected!! Erica did our editing and took everything Laura and Dakin captured, and turned it into everything we dreamed of and more. The little details (like panning over our lost loved ones while the officiant is mentioning those we wish were here with us... or when my husband was talking about my smile in his vows and she put that over footage of me smiling while getting ready) it’s just perfect. It has been so special to be able to share with friends and family who were not able to make the trip; we can’t stop watching it and cannot wait to share with our future generations.
In short- choose byDesign, you won’t regret it!!!

We highly recommend byDesign Films for your Wedding Videography! They worked with us to create a Wedding Day package that fit both our budget and video desires. Wanting to maximiz...
e our value, they helped us develop a timeline for the day that ensured all our important moments were included. The company has a graduated payment plan, requiring an initial deposit when the contract is signed and the balance due just prior to the event date. Overall, we had a great experience with each person on our byDesign Films team - they were professional, kind and great to work with.
Our project coordinator, Sherri, worked with us throughout the entire process from the time we signed our contract leading up to our big day and after our wedding until video delivery. She was fantastic to work with, always answering our questions quickly, helping us prepare and document the “must have” shots for our Wedding and then guiding us through the video production and editing process after the big day. Once our video was completed, Sherri worked with the editing team to make a few adjustments to our final product to ensure everything was perfect!
Our Videographer, Phillip, was fantastic! He arrived early, was very attentive and worked seamlessly with our photographer to get phenomenal footage of our wedding day. He captured all of our “must have” shots, as well as great footage throughout the day. The attention to detail paid off, giving us an amazing wedding video that we will cherish forever.
The editing team did an amazing job on our short film. They narrowed about 8 hours of footage down to a series of beautiful moments that show our wedding story. The film truly is a piece of art!
We cannot recommend this company enough - you will not be disappointed!

nforeseen circumstances, I wasn't able to enjoy their truly spectacular films, However the company and Vanessa were so understanding and helpful and everything has worked out for the best. They were truly the most accommodating and gracious individuals and anyone even remotely considering them should stop right now and book them!!

Okay - we don’t know where to begin with how much we loved this company. Vanessa (our project manager) took care of us from Day 1, made sure everything was PERFECT, and we couldn’t...
have asked for better! Savannah (our video editor) went ABOVE AND BEYOND to meet our needs and requests for our video to make it our dream come true. And last of all Matt (our videographer) - the shots he got were beyond breathtaking - our film truly looks like it came straight out of a movie. Thank you to the ByDesign Team for all your hard work on the Alexander film! We are in love and so thankful for you guys. :)
