Jake at Moonlit Weddings was an absolute dream to work with! From start to finish, Jake made the entire process incredibly easy—he was organized, communicative, and brought such a ...
great energy to our wedding day. He truly listened to our vision and executed it flawlessly.
The final videos were nothing short of stunning. We asked for a Wes Anderson-style aesthetic, and Jake delivered in every way—perfect framing, thoughtful details, and a beautifully artistic touch. It felt like a true cinematic masterpiece. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and the final product, and we’d work with Jake again in a heartbeat!
My husband and I absolutely are so happy that we chose Moonlit Weddings to capture our wedding weekend. We are so grateful to Jake, Skyler, and the rest of the team for so beautifu...
lly capturing such beautiful, funny, candid, and once in a lifetime moments. Once we received our videos, we were blown away by how amazing they were. They are so great at embedding the music into the videos too. They really artfully chose perfect moments to happen at certain points in the song that was just so cool, and as a big music lover, I was just thrilled. They filmed our rehearsal dinner as well and chose such a beautiful, acoustic version of the song that I walked down the aisle to to play in the background while showing everyone visiting and slow motion moments and embraces that gave me happy tears. They also went the extra mile and gave me my wish and special request to get "well wishes" messages from our guests during dinner. They went around to every table and gave us the gift of hearing and seeing our family members up close that I know we'll treasure forever. After initially speaking with Jake, we felt very confident that we wanted Moonlit Weddings to be our videographers. He is so friendly and helpful. They worked very well with our amazing photographers at Angela King Photography as well...we are so grateful for our dream team videographers and photographers we had. We couldn't recommend Moonlit Weddings more highly. They gave us an amazing record of the best day of our life that we'll have for the rest of our lives and can pass down to future generations. Thank you so much Jake, Skyler, and the rest of the Moonlit Weddings team for everything you did for us!
Jake was so easy to work and incredibly talented. Highly highly recommend to anyone!
Moonlit Weddings did an amazing job with our wedding videos. They were communicative leading up to the event and were amazing the day of. After the wedding, they got us raw footage...
and a teaser trailer of what to expect very quickly. I can not recommend them enough.
Jake filmed our wedding and I am absolutely happy with our decision to go with Moonlit. Jake was a joy to talk with, work with, and the final work product is exactly what we wanted...
. We wanted a video that was more happy/cheerful/celebration than tearjerker. He worked with our music tastes and the editing is superb. Absolutely recommend Moonlit Weddings!
If you're on the market for a wedding videographer to capture your special day - BOOK MOONLIT. It was an absolute pleasure working with Jake and his team. From the planning process...
to the days after, Moonlit was always responsive, professional, creative, and just all-around amazing. The highlight reel brought tears to our eyes because they captured the wedding better than we remembered. I'm so happy we partnered with Moonlit Weddings, and you will be too.
Jake with Moonlit Weddings was wonderful to work with! He captured our wedding day perfectly showcasing the overall day as well as the small moments between my husband and I. The v...
ideos all came back timely and better than we could have ever imagined. He was a great addition to our vendor team and we cannot recommend him enough!
I always knew that I would have a videographer to capture our wedding day - it was never a question. I wanted to make sure that I had a videographer that was not only a great artis...
t but also a person that would make the wedding party and guests at ease. After I met with Jake on an initial Zoom call I knew he would be the perfect choice for our wedding. He was so incredibly kind, easy-going, and funny.
A week or so leading up to the wedding, I had a Zoom call with Jake to discuss timeline, requests, etc. He was incredibly detail oriented, asking follow up questions and writing down the parts of the night that I called out as the most important to me. My mind felt at peace knowing that such a meticulous person would be behind the camera!
We booked Jake for a package that included Rehearsal Dinner speeches - though we opted out of a Rehearsal Dinner, we did have a Welcome Party! I emailed Jake the details and he showed up early and ready to roll. Jake set up his equipment and advised us where to stand. I am so grateful that he was able to capture the general vibe of the party as well as the speeches! I will cherish those memories forever.
On the day of the wedding, Jake showed up with his second shooter and got right to work. He worked in tandem with our photographer, quickly and efficiently. I don’t think there was a single moment in which I looked up and Jake wasn’t with us and that truly brings me so much joy and comfort. I know he captured every moment of our special day and will piece it together in a beautiful film.
Jake stayed with us until the end of the night to film our exit. He made sure to check in with me before leaving. Since the wedding, Jake has sent me a questionnaire to fill out to provide direction on the cinematic highlight and has posted an Instagram clip. Throughout the entire time working with him he has been supportive, responsive, and kind. I would highly recommend Moonlit for videography to any future couple searching for a cinematographer!! Jake is not only a genuine human, he is also a wonderful artist with an incredible eye. I can’t wait to see our final video!! THANK YOU JAKE!! We love you!!
Jake and team were fantastic. The showed up on time, were very professional and gave very good guidance on what they would do throughout the day, and what shots they wanted to get....
My husband and I loved the video we received, and showed it off to all our friends right away.
Jake was so great to work with and captured our day beautifully. There are a variety of packages to fit different budgets, and we appreciated having the option to purchase recordin...
gs of the ceremony and the toasts; the day went by so quickly, so I’m glad we’re able to rewatch those moments. I also get a little teary-eyed each time I watch the highlight video. In addition to creating stunning videos that capture the joy of the day, Jake was professional and kind, and it was so easy to communicate with him - I can’t recommend Jake/Moonlit Weddings enough!
Hiring Jake was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. When we received our video, we cried! It was so beautiful and brought us back to our wedding day. He does such an...
amazing job on capturing the intimate moments and the energy in the room. He also did so many creative shots which really added to wow factor of our video. Jake is extremely professional which allowed us to be hands off and enjoy our day. He worked seamlessly with our photographer, another plus! My husband and I are so happy we went with Moonlit!

My wedding was in Oct 2022 and I am so glad we booked Moonlit Weddings - the videos turned out amazing and have been so great to look back and remember the day. I gave hardly any d...
irection because I trusted Jake's expertise and the videos turned out better than I could imagine! My husband was against booking a videographer because he thought it wasn't necessary (lol) but after he saw the videos he is so happy I did it because it captured the day in a way that photos just can't! Since the day went by so quickly and is such a blur I'm glad we can rewatch and fully appreciate all that happened!
PLEASE BOOK MOONLIT WEDDINGS!!! We just got our wedding video back today and we were in tears revisiting our wedding day. Jake recreated every moment of our wedding and we will be ...
able to always look back on one of the best days of our lives. Jake is not only creative and produces amazing, high quality videos but he is extremely communicative, kind and easy to work with. We got a highlight video, ceremony video, speeches and even unedited footage. Thank you so much Jake!!
My husband and I knew we wanted a videographer to record all the life and motion of our wedding day. We chose Jake at Moonlit because we loved his authentic style. He was also incr...
edibly straightforward and easy to work with throughout our planning process. But WOW - we were blown away by our wedding videos when we got them back! My husband said: "I feel like we're stars of a movie, this is Hollywood production quality!" We plan to look back on our video at each anniversary, and are happy we made the choice to go with Moonlit so we can relive each moment of the wedding day for years to come. Thanks for capturing our day beautifully, Jake!
Jake was amazing and so great to work with! He made the whole process so easy and our video came out AMAZING!! We even had a couple special requests for the video editing and he de...
livered! To top it all off, when our original photographer ghosted us Jake was quick to offer us some referrals and he ended up connecting us with an amazing photographer! I cannot recommend that you go with Moonlit Weddings enough!
Jake of Moonlit Weddings was fantastic to work with. He had a great, positive vibe from the very beginning and by his knowledge and expertise he produced a beautiful video of our w...
edding day. (Literally, I watch it multiple times a week!) Throughout the wedding day he blended in seamlessly with guests to capture some fun, special moments, and his presence was comfortable and easygoing throughout a day that otherwise came with many stressors. While no form of media can truly capture the whirlwind of emotions of your wedding day, the beauty of movement and sounds from the day are so special to have on video. I highly recommend Jake and Moonlit Weddings!
We booked Moonlit for our May wedding and went with the Moon plan. We loved working with Jake and his team and highly recommend them for your special day. He was easy going from th...
e start and that was no different from how he acted day of. After looking back at the wedding videos, I didn't even realize them recording a lot of it - which was great! He had never worked with my photographer, but was extremely collaborative in doing so. They also put together a fantastic 5 minute highlight reel that captured EVERY aspect of the day and I didn't give him a ton of guidance on that. Overall, we had a fantastic experience. Book them now!
Last note, we had to include a live stream for our wedding last minute. Jake was so honest and transparent in the fact that he had tested out the network in Dripping Springs in the past and knew he wouldn't have the best connection there - that honestly from a vendor is hard to come by! It's really appreciated and well respected.
Jake was perfect! He was so kind, calm and easygoing on wedding day. He blended into the background which made you forget a camera was even there. But once you get your videos back...
, you realize he captured every single moment. Not one thing went unnoticed by him, even capturing things I didn't even get to see on wedding day. I would highly recommend Moonlit Weddings! I could not be more happy with our wedding videos.
Jake was amazing...he showed up at my daughters wedding and got right to work. He worked effortlessly capture every moment. I would highly recommend Jake to be a part of your w...

as very responsive throughout the planning process, was great to work with on the big day, and was very collaborative with the final choices for music. Can't recommend him enough!
Could not recommend more. Absolutely amazing videos. If we only received the Highlight film it still would have exceeded expectations but the additional cuts put it over the top. ...
Amazing work at integrating the songs, slowing the video pace at the right moments..just everything.
Jake is such a talented and personable individual! I love how seamless and timeless his wedding videos are and the fact that he shoots and uses drone footage added to the appeal of...
booking him. I found Jake pretty late in the wedding planning process after losing my previously booked videographer and he was so patient and straightforward with me on what I could expect. He has already consulted with my husband and me about music for the video and the vibe we are looking for. I love that he wants his clients to be involved in the process of creating something special to commemorate their big day. Watching Jake work is truly a pleasure and I can't wait to see what he creates for us!!
We were AMAZED at the videos Jake and his team recorded for our wedding. Between livestreaming our ceremony and our produced wedding videos, the quality was truly top notch. The te...
am at Moonlit made it very easy on our end by arriving early and were so prepared that we never had anything to worry about on our big day.
It's really nice to be able to share these videos with friends and family, and I know we'll be treasuring them for the rest of our lives. I'm so glad we worked with Jake and would recommend him for any wedding!
Jake and his team were absolutely amazing. Our wedding was 10/23/2021. They showed up, needed no direction and produced amazing content. He asked me what kind of music we would li...
ke for our highlight video and all I told him was "country". He picked the perfect songs and the highlight video felt like I was watching a movie trailer, it was so well made with amazing and creative shots, mixing in slow motion to make it all so whimsical. I would recommend Jake to anyone looking for videographer for any event!
Jake is incredible!! The video is one of my favorite wedding decisions I made. He was so professional and courteous - most of the wedding day I didn’t even notice him there but he ...
got EVERY moment on camera and I had so many guests comment on how kind and lovely he was. The quality is beyond worth the investment.
Jake is so insanely talented and captured our day PERFECTLY!! It deserves an Oscar and I’m not just saying that because it’s my own wedding. We will truly cherish our video for the...
rest of our lives. MoonLit’s pricing is so reasonable for the product you receive and Jake was so responsive and professional every step of the way!
Jake and his team were awesome to work with! Moonlit came highly recommended by our planner and we were brought to tears of joy watching examples of strangers' wedding videos on hi...
s website. The communication leading up to our wedding was clear & helpful. Filming throughout the wedding was a breeze. You'll hardly notice they are there, but the outcome will be incredible. I'd highly recommend hiring Moonlit.
Jake was absolutely wonderful on our wedding day. He showed up and just started getting footage right away. He was very kind and easy to work with and just knew exactly what shots ...
he needed. He wasn't in our face at all, just consistently getting footage in the background. His portfolio speaks for itself and I can't wait for us to get our wedding video back. He is a professional and definitely knows what he's doing! I would recommend him to anyone in the market for a videographer.
I was on the fence about whether or not to hire a videographer, but I am so glad I did! Jake is responsive, friendly and great to work with. He had very creative ideas on the weddi...
ng day, and I can't wait to see the final result once it's ready! I wanted a videographer who wasn't too "in your face" and captured more candid moments, and Jake did just that. Thank you Jake!
HIGHLY recommend using Jake for your wedding video! He captured everything perfectly, was extremely nice, and sent us our video in the exact time frame he said. Would recommend Jak...
e to anyone!
We booked Jake extremely last minute, 4 days before the wedding, as vide footage wasn't something I thought I wanted or needed but thankfully I reazlied I was wrong. We also had ...
planned to stream the ceremony ourselves and realized we needed someone who knew actually what they were doing to handle that. Following our call with Jake we ended up booking a videography package with the live stream. Jake, who is not only so cool and professional, was extremely responsive and flexible due to short timeframe. I feel so lucky that he was available and I can't wait to get the highlight video and the rest of the footage he shot. The way he was directing us to capture special moments plus his presence all around just reitereated his extreme talent and passion for his work. Go with Moonlit, you wont regret it!
Jake and his team were amazing! From planning what services we needed to filming the event, he was professional and highly qualified. His films are better quality than ANY I’ve see...
n hands down. We had a lot of last minute changes due to Covid; Jake rolled with them all. We can’t wait to see the final product! As MOB, I can say this is the best decision we made!
Jake McDonald from Moonlit Weddings provided excellent service from Day 1. He was recommended by our wedding coordinator, Vintage & Lace Weddings, and far exceeded our expectations...
. From the first call I made to Jake, I knew that he was a true professional - and a nice person. On the day of the event, Jake and his assistant arrived at the venue on time and was extremely professional and friendly, putting everyone at ease as we gathered for the procession. He captured some wonderful pre-ceremony footage of the bride and groom with their bridesmaids and groomsmen - really setting the tone for the event. The ceremony footage was professionally done with excellent sound and perfection in terms of viewing angles. Moving to the reception, Jake preserved every special moment - the grand entrance, toasts, special dances, private dance at the end - and everything in between. His editing was so well done that the video includes all key elements of the evening, put together with emotion, beautiful background music and creativity in camera angles, voiceover and special editing techniques.
Not only that - Jake is friendly and was a pleasure to work with before, during and after the event. Five stars is not enough!
Jake McDonald and his team FAR exceeded our expectations!! They captured so much more than I thought on our wedding day and the end result was so heartfelt and touching. Every time...
I watch the video, I'm brought back to our wedding day and it's even more magical through the MoonLit Weddings lens :) Thank you, Jake!!
Jake from Moonlit was such a pleasure to work with! We really wanted to have a videographer for our wedding but didn't want to pay upwards of $5000 like some of the other companies...
were quoting. We had almost given up on finding a videographer with great reviews that fit within our budget when we found Jake and, boy, are we so happy we did! He has wonderful customer service (he is so quick with his responses) and is a pleasure to work with. On the day of the wedding, he was professional and efficient. One of our requests was that we didn't want the videographer or photographer to be all up in people's faces or distracting from the event and he and his team accomplished that perfectly! They got all the shots they needed in as quick a time as possible which gave my husband and I plenty of time to enjoy the reception with our guests. We are so happy we booked with Moonlit and would recommend them to everyone!
Jake of Moonlit Weddings exceeded our expectations in capturing our daughter's wedding day in video. He is an expert at getting just the right shots, at exactly the right moments, ...
and he is such an artist in the way he films the day, and a gifted storyteller in the way he edits all these moments together to produce a finished video. Jake is masterful at remaining stealthily behind-the-scenes. We hardly knew he was there all day, yet he captured every important moment. We can't say enough about Jake, and we HIGHLY recommend Moonlit Weddings!
Jake was exceptionally kind with taking up our wedding at the last minute! We booked him only a month away from the wedding, and he jumped in to save the day.
He was really quick...
and easy to work with to get the shots he needed. We took photos before our ceremony, and even through everything feeling a little hectic, he knew exactly what to ask for making our time with him effortless.
We have not received our video back just yet, but we're so exceptionally excited based on how professional he is and his previous work.
Thank you so so much, Jake! We're happy to recommend you to anyone in the future.
Jake is absolutely amazing! We received our finished wedding video a few days ago and my husband, family, friends, and I have already watched it dozens of times and cried every sin...
gle time. To say he captured the day perfectly would be an understatement. On the wedding day itself, Jake was so stealth and unobtrusive. He was a calming presence for me as I went through the day getting ready to walk down the aisle. I highly recommend Jake and know that our wedding video will be one of our most treasured memories from the best day of our lives!
Jake with MoonLit Weddings did an amazing job covering our wedding! Jake was quick to respond to emails whenever I reached out to him from start to end. The pricing is fair for the...
quality work he did. He captured so many beautiful moments throughout the day. The process of getting us to look natural came through the videos - nothing looked forced! We received our video within the time he gave us. I would highly recommend Moonlit for your wedding, you won't regret it! I only wish I got the Documentary package - it was so nice to re-watch our ceremony and highlight videos but we wanted more!

nt with contacting him (I was a total scatterbrain leading up to the wedding), Jake was very flexible to work with from the get-go and was great about making sure he knew what we wanted to film on the day of the wedding. He captured our day so perfectly, from getting ready all the way up until the party ended, and was wonderful about making sure we were happy with the final edit. I am so glad I'll have these memories to cherish forever and cannot recommend him enough! Thank you, Jake!
