Owner/Lead Videographer
Hi, I’m Rassul — filmmaker, storyteller, husband, and dad. Family is at the heart of everything I do, and it’s why I care so deeply about capturing love stories with honesty and soul. Weddings, to me, aren’t just events — they’re living, cinematic stories filled with emotion, energy, and meaning.
With over 10 years of experience behind the camera, I’ve had the privilege of creating cinematic commercials and content for global brands like Lexus, Toyota, Dior, Max Mara, Michael Kors, Hugo Boss, Saks Fifth Avenue, and TRESemmé, as well as working with Netflix and Disney talent. This background gave me a strong cinematic eye, technical expertise, and a sense of storytelling that goes far beyond traditional wedding videography.
What makes my work unique is the blend of cinema and authenticity: I bring the precision and artistry of commercial film to your wedding day, while staying grounded in the real, intimate, and spontaneous moments that matter most. My goal is simple — to help you feel relaxed, present, and free to enjoy every second, while I quietly turn it into a film that you’ll treasure forever.
When you press play years from now, I want you to not just see your wedding day, but truly feel it all over again.

We didn’t just want a pretty wedding clip — we wanted a real story, with pauses, emotions, and all those little moments in between. And that’s exactly what we got! The team sent us a questionnaire beforehand, helped us map out the timeline, and even suggested the best spot for our vows so the audio would come out crystal clear. On the actual day, they were so respectful and low-key — capturing everything without ever pulling us out of the moment.
In the end we got a 7-minute highlight film, a full recording of the ceremony and our parents’ speeches, plus a long feature with the dancing and all those small details we would have missed otherwise. The editing feels natural and effortless, the music choices are spot on, and the colors look vibrant but true to life. Watching it back feels like stepping right into our day again — authentic, emotional, and ours in every way.

Sabi, your day was pure emotion — nothing forced, just real love and connection. We’re so ...
glad the film feels like your story in every way. It truly felt like filming with friends, and we’d love to do it again — maybe for your family’s next celebration!

From the first email to the last hug at the end of the night, working with Russell Films was such a joy. They’re professional, but also so warm and fun to be around. On our wedding day they felt like friends, not just vendors — and somehow they still managed to stay invisible when they needed to. Our film is breathtaking: the shots of my dad walking me down the aisle, our first dance, even the kids running around — all edited in a way that feels cinematic and full of heart. Thank you guys for capturing the soul of our wedding!

I’ll never forget the way they captured the little things — my mom fixing my veil, our friends laughing during cocktail hour, the pure joy on the dance floor. And at the same time, the big cinematic moments — the drone shots over the venue, the slow-motion of our kiss — it all came together so beautifully. Beyond the footage, I’m so thankful for how kind, creative, and encouraging the team was the entire day. Huge shoutout to the Rassl Films wedding crew — you made our memories look and feel magical!!!

What I loved most was how they captured the emotions of our guests — the laughter, the tears, the hugs. It wasn’t just about us, it was about everyone who shared that day with us. And then the creative shots — the drone over the venue, the way the light came through during our vows — it’s stunning. Huge thanks to the team for giving us a film that truly feels like our wedding☺️

We're a big, loud family with kids running everywhere, and somehow the footage still feels polished but real. They let the chaos be part of the story, and I love that.

What I didn’t expect was how much fun we’d actually have with the crew. They weren’t just standing around with cameras — they joked with us, kept the energy up, and made everyone feel at ease. At one point during the reception, my grandfather got up and started dancing, and somehow they caught it perfectly — that’s a memory we’ll never forget.
The whole film feels different than what I imagined a wedding video would be. It’s not stiff or staged — it’s alive. The way they pieced together the speeches, the kids running around, even the quiet moments of us getting ready — it all feels so genuine. Honestly, we got back more than just a video. We got a story about our families, our friends, and us.
Huge thanks to the team Rassl Films— you gave us something that feels priceless.
Response from RasslFilms on 10/13/2025
Thank you, Kane — your words mean a lot. Your day was so alive, filled with laughter, hugs...
, and that genuine family energy that’s impossible to fake. We loved every second of being part of it, and we’d jump at the chance to film for your family again. Whether it’s another wedding or a new chapter of your story, we’d be so happy to capture that same love and spirit once more.

I honestly can’t stop smiling every time I watch our wedding film. It feels like they didn’t just record the day, they truly felt it with us. The way the production team noticed every little detail — the way my husband looked at me during the vows, my dad’s proud smile as he walked me down the aisle, the laughter of our friends during dinner — it all feels so real, so alive.
What touched me most is that they captured not only the big moments but also the emotions in between. The soft looks, the hugs, the little tears — those are the things you can never plan, but somehow they caught them all. And then the way it was all edited together… it’s beyond anything I could have imagined. Cinematic, heartfelt, and so true to us.
Thank you to the whole team for listening, for understanding what we wanted, and then giving us something even better. This film is more than we hoped for — it’s a memory we’ll treasure forever.

I don’t even know where to start because words can’t fully describe how grateful I am for our wedding film. From the very beginning, the team made me feel calm and cared for. They weren’t just there with cameras — they were there with kindness, patience, and so much heart. On the day of the wedding, I barely noticed them, and yet they caught everything.
The moment my dad held my hand before walking me down the aisle — you captured that so beautifully I cried all over again watching it. Our vows, with the wind in the background and our voices trembling — you made it feel like pure poetry. The way our friends cheered during our first dance, the hugs from family, the laughter during the speeches — every single part of the day lives inside this film.
But what makes it even more special is how cinematic it all looks. The drone shots, the light coming through the windows, the transitions — it feels like a movie, but not a movie about just anyone. It feels like OUR story, told with so much love and creativity.
To the entire Rassl Films wedding team: thank you from the bottom of my heart. You gave us more than a video, you gave us a treasure we will hold onto forever. Every time I watch it, I feel the love, the joy, the magic of our wedding all over again. That is a gift beyond anything I could have hoped for.

I didn’t realize how much the little moments would mean until I saw them in the film. The way my wife laughed nervously before our vows, my brother cracking jokes during the photos, even my grandma clapping off beat during our dance — it’s all there, and it makes me smile every time. Thank you guys for showing our wedding day exactly as it was — real, fun, and full of love.

Hearing that the film brings those memories back makes us truly happy. And if another celebration comes up — we’d be honored to be there again, cameras in hand, ready to tell another chapter of your story.

We had a tiny sunrise ceremony by the ocean, and I honestly didn’t know how it could possibly be captured well — the low light, the sound of the waves, our nervous laughter. But somehow, they did it. They guided us to stand in just the right spot so the sun wrapped around us perfectly, flew the drone like absolute pros (and even had all the permits taken care of in advance), and hid the little lav mics so well you’d never know they were there.
In the highlight film, the sound of the ocean feels like its own character. And the colors — soft, pastel, absolutely true to the morning. It feels exactly like it did standing barefoot in the sand. Every time we rewatch it, it’s like we’re back there again, Pure magic and done with so much care!

We’d be so happy to capture more memories for you or your loved ones one day — maybe another sunrise, another story filled with love.

Our biggest worry was the weather — it poured rain and the wind was insane that morning, and our ceremony was supposed to be outdoors. But the team showed up prepared with a full plan B: windshields for the mics, backup batteries, rain covers for the gear, and even backup spots if we needed to move. The way they stayed so calm and confident honestly set the tone for us too. And somehow in the final video, there’s no chaos, no rain, just pure joy and light.
What touched me most was the moment they captured when my dad saw me in my dress for the first time. Every word, every tear — it’s all there, crystal clear, paired with music that gives me goosebumps every single time. And the turnaround was unbelievably fast! We had a teaser within 48 hours, and the full set in just three weeks. My grandma watches “our movie”” every single night now.

Emily, we still smile thinking about that morning — wild weather, calm hearts, and so much...
