Richard was a true professional who came fully prepared for the wedding day! He had drones, hidden mics, and all kinds of cool equipment. But most importantly: my bride and I had a choreographed dance which we spent a lot of time practicing for. He had us send a video of the dance to him prior to the wedding day so he could study it and get all the best angles!
Skill aside, Richard was also an all-around friendly guy who I cannot recommend enough!

Richard and Tracy truly exceeded our expectations from our first e-mail communication to our wedding day and beyond. It really felt like we were working with family. We knew they cared about us and we were not just another client to them. We first met Richard in person during our engagement shoot. He was so friendly, calm, and enthusiastic. It felt like we already knew him! We absolutely loved the engagement Instagram reel and the love story film he created that perfectly told our story.
We were so lucky to have both Richard and Tracy there on our wedding day. They captured all of our precious moments. Their friendly faces, calming presence, confidence, kindness, support, and very gentle direction was just what we needed. We knew we were in great hands and didn’t have to worry. Even though we had a tight timeline during our romantic photos, Richard made sure to remember and advocate for a couple shots that I had asked about beforehand, like one of my husband and I running together.
Richard and Tracy went above and beyond for us by surprising us with a Same Day Edit that played during our wedding reception after our love story film played! It was a complete surprise to all of us!! We were so happy!! Our guests were simply wowed as were we! It was gorgeous and we still can’t believe how they created and edited it so fast. Our guests are still talking about it. Some of them even said that it was their favorite part of the reception. We are incredibly grateful.
Our Instagram reel and highlight film of the wedding footage were amazing! We love both of them! I have cried almost every single time I have watched our highlight film. It is so special and will be treasured forever. Richard and Tracy are incredibly talented and phenomenal.
We cannot recommend Royal films enough to any couple getting married in the future. My husband and I are blessed and so happy that they captured our engagement and wedding day so beautifully. We hope to work with them again in another capacity in the future. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Richard and Tracy.

ng videographer, Richard. While this review is long overdue review, we have to express our deepest gratitude for his incredible work!
In the week leading up to our wedding, we were faced with an unexpected challenge when our original videographer had to cancel. Panic set in, and we quickly started searching for a replacement. My husband Patrick came across Royal Films and quickly arranged a call with Richard. Luck was on our side as he happened to be available on our wedding day. From the very beginning, Richard displayed immense kindness and flexibility, instantly putting our worries to rest.
On the day of our wedding, Richard's adaptability and professionalism were nothing short of remarkable. He seamlessly integrated himself into our special day and worked perfectly alongside with our wedding photographer. Richard effortlessly captured the most beautiful and heartfelt moments throughout the day.
Richard, we cannot thank you enough for stepping in to save the day, and for beautifully capturing the essence of our wedding day. Your talent and dedication are truly unmatched, and we will forever cherish the memories you have created for us.
Love, Michelle and Patrick!

These people are FIRE! Highly recommend. Our highlight video captures the vibe of our wedding perfectly. We looked through a LOT of videographers and Richard and Tracy are the best...
. It never even felt like there was a camera on us and yet there is so much amazing footage to prove there was. True professionals who show up on time and get you the results ASAP. They worked flawlessly with the photographers and because there were two of them they were able to split up so we didn't miss a single moment of our wedding. (If you are worried about money... don't be. These folks are worth it and are reasonably priced. This video is gonna be one of the main things you look back on. Our video is so good and I have already cried watching it. TRULY feels like I am transported every time I watch it.) I will definitely hire these folks again when I have my next big event.

Richard and Tracy were so easy to work with!! Not only were they great to work with, but their videography is incredible! When my husband and I received our highlight video, we got...
emotional all over again! It was a way to relive the best day of our lives! Having a video of our wedding is so different from photos because you can actually see everyone’s reactions and you can hear everyone voices. It’s just so special.
Richard and Tracy truly exceeded our expectations and we are so in love with our wedding video! The most incredible moment was when I saw a cameo of a monarch butterfly fly by the camera. This is special to me because I associate monarch butterflies with my dad, who passed away a couple years ago. I’m so happy Richard caught this special cameo for me!
All in all, we are so over the moon with our wedding video! Tracy and Richard are just the most gracious and wonderful people too!

We loved working with Richard and Tracy for our wedding videography! We were given a helpful and comprehensive survey that asked about our relationship, our expectations, a few son...
g choices, and the day of schedule. Covid definitely threw a wrench in our original March 2020 plans, but they were so easy and willing to work with us to reschedule to March 2021 and finally an August 2021 date.
I was so impressed by Richard and his second shooter on the day of the wedding. They were friendly, engaging, and kind. They worked seamlessly with our photography team and blended easily into the background of the day. There were many times I forgot we were even being recorded and just had the time of my life.
We received the highlight reel within a month of the wedding and I was floored! They were telling our story with the perfect song choice. They did a beautiful job of capturing the details and emotions of the day in such a candid way. I felt like I was reliving our special day! I've watched the reel countless times since and have enjoyed sharing it with family and friends.
We received the full video 2 months after the wedding. Watching this, we know it was money well spent! This video is so precious to us, I just know we'll continue to rewatch it and share it with our future kids.
We highly recommend Richard and Tracy of Royal Films! They are incredibly kind and friendly professionals, prompt in their responses, and they tell beautiful stories that uniquely capture the essence of your special day. It was a joy to work with them and I would not hesitate to hire them again!

ch by their responsiveness and attention to detail. On my wedding day, Richard arrived on time and blended in seamlessly with my photographer. He worked his magic without me even knowing he was there capturing all the little details of my wedding. His eye for catching all the right moments was so on cue that when I saw the wedding video, I got incredibly emotional, because he just KNEW which moments were most important and he made sure he caught them all. The angles, the lightening, all those details when filming a wedding, he got it right! I could not be happier with Richard and Tracy. I highly recommend them for your wedding videography needs. Thank you Richard and Tracy!

There isn’t a review box big enough to explain how incredible Richard and Tracy are at Royal Films. We had reached out to a couple of videographers when looking for vendors, and I ...
remember saying “Richard and Tracy were the only ones that made a point to ask about us, who we are are, how we met, how we fell in love, etc.”
From the very beginning, they were so personable, attentive, sweet, and accommodating. My husband and I were one of the many thousands of couples that had to postpone our original 2020 nuptials due to covid. Richard and Tracy were so understanding of our postponement, and made the process of switching everything over so easy and stress free.
As for our actual wedding day, we truly can’t say enough good things. If you want your wedding to be captured in the most authentic way, Royal Films are your people. They were there to capture everything exactly as it unfolded, which is what we were looking for. They never got in the way of a single moment, they just easily blended in and captured everything organically and just as magically as it was in real time.
Our completed wedding video is nothing short of incredible. Everyone who has watched it has raved to us about how amazing it is. We watch it weekly, and have yet to watch it without crying. It is everything we could have ever dreamed of for our wedding video and more. We will cherish it for the rest of our lives, and feel so lucky to get to relive our day any time we want.
But the best part about all of it is knowing that the people behind all of the magic are two of the kindest, most genuine people. For us, that was one of the most important things. Our wedding video and experience means so much more to us knowing that it was made by quality people who care about and treat us not as clients, but as friends. Thank you so much Richard and Tracy for your time, kindness, and care. We love and appreciate you both so much!

My husband and I could not recommend hiring Royal Films more highly! So far, we have just received our highlight video (very quickly too!), and we were blown away by how beautiful ...
it was and how well it captured the joy and love we felt that day! On the day of our wedding, Richard and his assistant videographer had a great presence but were never intrusive, and we mostly forgot their cameras were there. They worked seamlessly with our photographers to get some incredible footage, and the few times they directed us to do something (like walk forward hand in hand with our wedding party), we immediately understood why when we watched our highlight video and saw how well all of their shots came together! Richard and Tracy are wonderful to work with, and their price is quite reasonable for the high-quality work they perform!

We are very impressed and highly recommend them!

They immediately responded and they were so kind, generous & sensitive to our situation. They were very good at communicating. Richard let us know he arrived early at the wedding. He worked tirelessly behind the scenes. Richard was totally professional and thoughtful and kind. He went above and beyond. He truly cared about us. The memories he captured will be a treasure for our family for a lifetime. Royal Films treated us like royalty and they will always hold a special place in our hearts! I've watched the wedding film several times now and I am just blown away by it. It is the most important thing we have left from the wedding.

We received our highlight reel exactly one month after our wedding and our full wedding video 3 months after that - both within the promised time period.

He knew exactly what/when to film the entire day and was great to be around. We are grateful for his presence on our day since our family was not there to celebrate with us.
When he sent us the finished video a few weeks after we got home, my husband and I smiled, laughed, and cried the entire time we watched it. He captured our day perfectly. Like I said - words cannot describe how good his work is. From the aerial shots to the way he synched up the music to the frames/mood, it was just perfect. It's been almost 8 months and I still watch the video a few times a month because it is that awesome.

They are such a sweet couple to work with and they also work well with your photographer and other vendors. They also don't charge extra to use a drone for aerial shots, which was awesome. When we were looking for a videographer, we noticed that a lot of the reviews for Royal Films mentioned that you don't even notice they're filming you. This is so true! Throughout our ceremony and even during our wedding photos, my husband and I didn't even see them. I honestly forgot at one point that they were filming and it helped me feel more relaxed and showcase all the real emotions I was feeling throughout the day. Tracy and Richard were also so accommodating to us and made sure to go over our timeline and ask us what special moments we wanted them to capture on film. On our wedding day, we ended up having a last minute getting ready location for the groom and Tracy and Richard were so easy to get in contact with and showed up right on time. One of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding was making the decision to not only hire a videographer - but to hire Royal Films! We are absolutely in awe of how our highlight video turned out, and we even ended up upgrading to a higher package because they had captured such great footage. My husband did a surprise dance for me with his groomsmen and now I have it filmed in amazing quality thanks to Tracy and Richard. You can't go wrong with Royal Films! If you're still on the fence about hiring a videographer for your wedding day, just check out the work they've done on their Vimeo page. They are amazing and deliver top-notch work! They're also very reasonably priced. I am so glad we have our wedding video to look back on and show our kids one day. Thank you Royal Films for capturing our special day :)

I'm fairly certain I went insane on my wedding videographer search by watching 100+ wedding videos. I was searching for a good storyteller and cinematographer who could tell my lov...
e story the way I wanted! I've only seen the highlight clip (maybe a thousand times), and they did just that!
I really liked their package options, too. I love the highlight reels, but also wanted to make sure the FULL night could be captured in a longer version. They have a variety of packages so you can get what you want!
They're also the nicest people. Everything was so easy day-of.
So, learn from my extensive search and book them with peace of mind!

ments. The lighting was fantastic. Richard was so nice during the filming and we felt totally at ease all day. We can't stop watching the highlight video! Everyone loves it.

From the very start, we knew Richard and Tracy were a perfect fit for us. Our shared faith drew us to them and a very comforting video chat with them sealed the deal. My husband an...
d I loved their calm, confident personalities. Richard even drove out (quite far) before the big day to see our venue and help us plan. He had amazing suggestions and ideas, assured us everything would be beautiful, and made a great first impression with the owner/staff at our venue. Working with Richard and Tracy was so easy. From payment options, to selecting music, everything was seamless. On the big day, they were not only punctual, but actually arrived a little early to set up and check in. They were quick, efficient, and extremely confident in their work. They were polite to my bridal party, family, and friends. I never once felt they were in the way or a nuisance. After a short wait, we received a 2 minute highlight film of our special day. It was incredibly done and left us eager for the entire film. Another short wait later, we received our 18 minute feature film and fell in love all over again. It captured our love story in such an amazing way. I have received so many compliments on how beautifully the video turned out. We are beyond thrilled with it and gladly recommend Richard and Tracy. Anyone who is looking for a professional, high quality, beautiful film, Royal Films is the only way to go!

My husband and I planned our wedding in a short amount of time (3 months) and on a tight budget. Royal films worked with us to create a package that fit our time frame, budget, and...
wedding dreams! They were so friendly and asked all the right questions to make sure they understood exactly what we wanted. On the day of the wedding they were super professional and honestly, I barely realized they were there (in a good way)! We received the highlight video a few short weeks later and it’s perfect! They captured the essence of our wedding so perfectly! I couldn’t believe it was me in the video! The quality was amazing and we loved every second of it.

We decided to hire Royal Films because their aesthetic and the way they shot the wedding films that we viewed on their site was in line with what we wanted. Tracy was very quick an...
d responsive to my inquiry and they were very flexible and accommodating to our busy schedule to meet up and finalize details in person and via email. We didn't end up having Tracy as part of our shooting team and were not told she wouldn't be joining us but she was pregnant at the time and so, of course, this was perhaps the reason we missed experiencing her videography expertise for our event. However, Richard was fantastic and his second videographer was professional as well. Timelines were always communicated and they worked with us and presented us options when our timeline was out of the original contracted time. We love our video and it completely captured our special day. We loved it so much that we will most likely add on to our package because we want to see more of what was shot for the day. Royal Films is professional and caring, we were glad we chose them to capture our special day. We will cherish our video forever.

Royal Films was one of the best vendors we chose for our wedding! From the initial meeting with Tracey and Richard, they really listened to what we wanted out of our wedding video ...
and provided a great overview of what we could expect from working with them. We wanted a videographer with a glide cam and a drone, they were able to provide both! On the day of the wedding, Richard arrived on time along with a couple other videographers. He came in right away with a great vision, took a look at the venue and what was currently happening during the "getting ready stage," he started capturing amazing footage right away! Him and his team were extremely professional and friendly. They definitely made us all feel comfortable. I've had experience feeling awkward with photographers in the past, that was not at all the experience with Richard and team. Throughout the day and night, it's so true that we didn't even realize they were shooting! Now, what really set Richard and team apart, is how they reacted when we had a very unfortunate event happen during our wedding. Our fully outdoor venue lost power for a large portion of the reception. Thanks to Richard's own lighting system, you would never know from the video and pictures that were captured! We had no light throughout our reception area, but thankfully Richard had the perfect lighting system with backup batteries to fully light our dance floor! Him and his team reacted swiftly to ensure the party kept going and the video footage was still the best! While we were disappointed with how our venue handled the power outage, we couldn't be more grateful for Richard and team for stepping up and looking out for our best interests! Royal Films was well prepared for anything that could have gone wrong and our story proves it. They go above and beyond for their clients and we definitely felt that throughout our wedding day. Not to mention, we now have a beautiful wedding video that captured all of our favorite moments! And our highlight video was truly amazing! We highly recommend Royal Films!!!

My husband and I were so happy we worked with Tracy and Richard for our wedding video! We decided in the last couple months of wedding planning that we wanted a videographer, and I...
am so glad we did. They were super easy and fun to work with - they are friendly, responsive, and accommodating. Having them on our wedding day felt like we were hanging out with friends.
We also love love love the video they sent us! They sent us a highlight reel and a longer documentary edit, and we have watched both many times. When Tracy and Richard sent us the longer documentary edit, I requested that a certain clip from the Father-Daughter dance be included, and they were super quick to edit it at no charge.
You won't regret working with Tracy and Richard on your wedding day!

We did not initially plan on using a videographer, and we are SO HAPPY we changed our minds and used Royal Films. The day went by way too quickly, and it is simply impossible to r...
emember every wonderful detail.
Royal Films did an AMAZING job of capturing every detail-- from the decor, to the views, to the first look, to the ceremony, to the speeches, to the dances. They even took drone footage, which looks amazing. The final product is gorgeous. I might have squealed a little when I saw our highlight film. Anyway, we are so happy we used them and recommend them highly!
