Reiss Films

Brendan was wonderful from start to finish. The videos that he made for us, are absolutely incredible, and are exactly what we were hoping for. He was able to capture the emotions and beauty of the day perfectly. We love the short form video to share with friends and the long form video to be able to save and rewatch as the years go by. His professionalism, experience, song choice and eye for editing all all amazing. Could not imagine a more perfect wedding video, or videographer.

I need more than 5 stars!!! Brendan has true gift and, simply put, is a master of his craft. I desperately wanted a videographer for my wedding day, and was having a difficult time justifying the cost for just a short clip. Not only was Brendan's rate better than ANY competitors, but he also provided short form AND long form films, in addition to expertly utilizing a drone for footage (the latter of which both were listed as additional costs with other videographers I had researched). Beyond that, there was instant chemistry with Brendan, just through emails. He is such a genuine, kind, warm, professional person who was truly the most thoughtful, responsive, flexible, and supportive to work with. I found Brendan through my maid of honor, whose wedding I was in, and which Brendan filmed. I was stunned by his work after seeing her video, and couldn't believe I was going to be able to have one of my own. Between all the encouraging communication via email, and a super comprehensive phone call with him a couple weeks before the wedding, Brendan addressed every single detail in advance. He covered every base and asked all the pertinent questions to ensure he was equipped to capture our wedding day in exactly the way we wanted. His process is refined and we were in the most capable hands on our wedding day. Brendan was an integral and seamless part of our day, and instantly found an easy chemistry with our photographer too. I know these are professionals who know what they're doing, but it really astounded me how organically Brendan executed his film coverage alongside another person capturing the footage through a different medium. Brendan legitimately felt like a friend on our wedding day, even though we had never officially met in person. I cannot emphasize enough how important this factor was, because the ease he invoked in us and the effortlessness with which he guided us gave just as much to our film as did his keen eye and detailed precision. I simply do not have words for how extraordinary our wedding film is, my friends are describing it as, "a fairytale wedding straight out of Vogue"! Brendan made my dreams come true, as a bride. It was of deep importance to me to capture the magical moments of the day that I knew would be a blur, no matter how present I was, and what he gave us is so much more than I ever even could have imagined. It's our love story, told to us in the most beautiful language. This art form is exquisite in and of itself, but the fact that it's OURS and it captures OUR wedding day is almost too good to be true. The way it was all put together had me barely able to breathe watching it, and I cry happy tears every time I watch it. I feel so incredibly blessed to have this amazing record of our magical wedding day to watch with my husband, share with our loved ones, and one day watch with our future children. This film is the most sacred gift that will keep giving for the rest of our lives. Take it from me and be sure you opt for wedding videography, and please don't just hire any videographer, hire Reiss Films. You will thank your lucky stars every day that you did. Brendan, you're just wonderful! We are so thankful.

I was very hesitant about getting a videographer for our wedding to save money, but I'm SOOO glad we hired Brendan of Reiss Films to capture our wedding video. It was SO worth it! He was knowledgable about wedding and event production, came promptly with professional gear, and was amazing at communicating with our other vendors such as our photographer and DJ/sound tech, to make sure our vows were heard and honored loud and clear. When we watched the finished product, we were floored by the quality and detail of his work. The wedding and reception itself went by quickly, but never did we have to worry about where Brendan was. He was always at the right place at the right time, ready to capture all the special moments of our special day. Thank you Reiss Films! May you continue to capture more wonderful weddings for more lucky couples!

We hadn’t considered organizing a wedding video as we had found a fantastic photographer who we thought would give us the best pictures as memories of our big day. The wedding video was an unexpected addition and words cannot say how delighted we were with it. Brendan instinctively knew the best moments to capture and we could not believe how well the whole thing was put together with our music choices, and even better ones of his own, with his creativity. It really recreated the day better than we even remembered! We realized what a big mistake we would have made not getting a video. It honestly is the best souvenir we have of our beautiful wedding and we will never get tired of watching it.

Brendan Reiss filmed our beautiful Sonoma Valley wedding in June, 2017. He was a consummate professional, and truly went above and beyond to capture the magic of our day on film. It was clear that he brought with him years of experience. Most of the time he and his crew were nearly invisible, quietly working to capture a variety of shots, angles and scenes that we weren't aware had even happened until weeks later, when we were finally able to see his finished product. And a few times he was more directly engaged, asking my wife and I to move to a particular spot, walk from A to B, through some beam of sunlight, or past some beautiful backdrop, etc. At one point he even helped the photography crew frame some very nice stills that they otherwise would not have caught. He was extremely professional, prompt, and most importantly, delivered a video that was truly amazing. He exceeded our expectations and I have zero reservations in recommending him to anyone I know who is looking for a videographer for their big day.

Brendan was the videographer for our wedding in Alicante, Spain in August 2018. He was an absolute delight to be around and a true professional. We were so happy with the final wedding video which perfectly captured the essence of our special day from start to finish! We would 100% recommend Reiss films. Thank you so much for working so hard to capture every detail and special moment of our wedding day to cherish forever.

I cannot say enough positive things about Brendan and his team. I was blown away by his exceptional level of professionalism, care and talent. He was so organized but beyond that was deeply invested in making sure he captured our story and key moments for our wedding and wedding video. He truly cared and it really showed the day of the wedding. He went above and beyond to get the perfect shots and even helping with things beyond his own job!! The finished product blew us away, got it early and shared it with everyone. We are truly overwhelmed with our experience with Brendan. Definitely recommend him!!!
