Russell John Films

very true to us. Our friends who watched the video said,” this is the best wedding video I’ve ever seen.” And,”I feel like I was there. I’m not crying you are.” The photobooth was very special too, with lots of unique props!

enough how important communication is in the wedding process and Russ/Brandon are both great communicators. More than that, they are wonderful filmmakers. Our wedding video captured all the little details and the unique spirit of our big day. Russ and Brandon are so detailed and comprehensive that we truly felt they shot just about everything we could have imagined. The result is a beautiful record of all the countless little touches that made our wedding ours. When we watch the video we are transported back. You really couldn’t ask for much more. We would recommend Russell John Films to anyone looking for wedding video packages in the San Diego area or elsewhere. They are fairly priced and you get so much more than most of the other options out there. The fact that you receive a documentary edit of the ceremony and speeches as a standard part of their package in addition to your highlight film is the icing on the cake, and really should be included as standard elsewhere. Not only do these guys know what they are doing, they really care. I can’t speak highly enough of their amazing work.

videos included an equal proportion of the Indian and Western/American events. They did exactly this and we are in AWE over our wedding highlight and teaser. We had a wonderful team led by Sergio and they worked very well alongside our photographers with no issues at any of the events. Their team was on time each day and after watching the footage they sent us, they truly didn’t miss a thing, even getting beautiful drone shots of downtown near our venue! We have already recommended to family and friends to go with Russell John Films, and I truly could not recommend them enough. They are professional, detail oriented, and an absolute pleasure to have on your vendor team.

sure of working with Russell and his team during our wedding weekend and their professionalism, creativity and kindness are just a few of the amazing qualities they possess. We had a same day edit and they did a fantastic job with it and we felt like they captured our true emotions and all our close family and friends. They do a beautiful job capturing all Indian events and I am so glad we hired them! We truly are so grateful for them and we now have our wedding captured in a classic manner for years to come! Book them now!!!

ion, I knew right away that I could breathe and that things would be taken care of!! The team was very accessible in responding to all of our questions, and there were several meetings to ensure everyone was on the same page. We were running behind on some of the logistics on our wedding day, and Russell and his team helped us feel at ease and enjoy the day while still managing to get us back on schedule with amazing footage. We both cried happy tears when we received the footage and plan on doing a movie night with our families. Hands down the best decision we made in planning our wedding. I couldn't imagine not having this memory to cherish forever. Thank you all so much!

y stages of wedding planning to make sure we had all our questions and wishes addressed. Their team was extremely professional and kind, giving us confidence that we would be well taken care of. On the day of, Russ and Jeremy were very fun to work with and captured some awesome footage - we have already received our Instagram teaser and love it! My wife and I can't wait to see the finished highlight video. Thanks so much Russell John and team!

, easy to work with and matched the vision we desired for our special day. Knowing his quality of work it was a no brainer to fly him out from San Diego to San Francisco. We have already received our Instagram Teaser and it was edited to perfection and captured all the elements of our wedding. Communication was excellent throughout the process and also was receptive to all feedback. If you’re looking for the best, do yourself a favor and hire Russel John Films.

s an extremely talented videographer, produces high quality work, and created the most beautiful video for us to remember our special day and cherish forever. Brandon is personable, super friendly, and very communicative as he handles the front-end communication with you leading up to the day (and also helped film on our wedding day!). On our wedding day, both Russell and Brandon made me feel comfortable, relaxed, beautiful, and confident in the work they were doing - and seriously, that’s priceless. I also have a lot of respect for them in the way they run their business and the integrity they have. COVID threw us all for a loop, and I’m impressed with the way they handled everything the pandemic brought with it. If you’re still reading this, stop reading it and go book them! You will be very glad you did.

When I was looking for a videographer I was so shocked by how much videography cost. I would find someone that I liked and then sadly be let down with sticker shock. But finding Russell John Films was a godsend. Great product for great prices. Brandon was so easy to talk to and get in contact with (something that’s necessary when you’re planning across the country) and our film team - Sergio and Carlos were wonderful. They were on time, had smiles on their faces and every time I turned my head thinking “I hope they got that on camera” they were there. It was like they were constantly reading my mind. As a control freak bride it was so reassuring to know that they were on it every moment of the day- I had nothing to worry about. If you’re on the fence about videography and it’s in your budget. Do it. You won’t regret it. You’ll be obsessed and you get to relive your day over and over. There’s no way to convey in words how happy I am that we picked Russell John Films. Thanks guys!

in with us along the way, filling out a detailed questionnaire so they were prepared to film the most important details to us on our big day. They were always quick to respond back to our questions, professional, friendly, and offered a variety of additional services. On our wedding day, my husband and I never felt like we were under the scope of a lens and yet Russell and Jeremy captured the entire day beautifully, including all of the little details that made it all the more special! Russell took our feedback and made minor adjustments that just put the film above and beyond what we could have ever wished for. The highlight film is so well composed and perfectly tells the story of our wedding day! It has made literally everyone we’ve shown it to cry because it is so perfect - my husband and I included! We are so grateful for the RJF team’s hard work and cannot recommend them enough.

ce and the quality of video and sound was incredible. I decided to use them for my wedding after my own experience and was not disappointed.

nificant amount of time sorting out complicated technology logistics such as incorporating a picture in picture of my brother’s pre-recorded officiant speech into our livestream video. They had 4 Cameras cutting back and forth from the two of us, as well as our friends and family! Following the ceremony, they provided us with a portion of Zoom reception (which we recommend if your Ceremony and Reception is at the same Venue). If we were to do this all over again when the world has opened its doors, we would still use Russell John Film’s services. They allowed aging family members and overseas loved ones to share in our celebration – these are people who would not have reasonably been able to attend an in-person ceremony regardless of the current situation. We had roughly 90 people attend our virtual wedding. They joined us from three continents, five countries, seven U.S. states, 30 cities, and we can’t quite sort out how many time zones. They dressed up in their wedding day finest. They drank from crystal glasses. They got to hear from one another, know one another, and ultimately know our wedding story. We had several guests tell us that our wedding was the most fun people had experienced in months. And we felt the same way! Thanks to Russell John Films, this wasn’t a great wedding DESPITE a pandemic and altered plans. It was a great wedding!

sell and his team were able to accommodate us with ease. I appreciate the Zoom Video conversation to introduce themselves. They Focus on the 3 P’s, 1-People, 2-Place and 3-Package. Closer to the wedding, we had to fill out a questionnaire to help them understand our style, our timeline and taste. I watched their past clients to see which films I preferred, and which films I didn't. This is the best because my highlight film was actually better than what I had imagined. Shout out to Brandon who responds to every email with professionalism and kindness. On the day of the wedding they were professional and respectful due to all the regulations we had. They captured everything, without us really knowing they were there! All videographers did a phenomenal job and they were a pleasure to be around. We have referred to 3 more events (they’ve done 2 at the time of this review) and I'm happy to say they do a fabulous job. We just received our Digital Wedding Album and that was the icing on the cake! I highly recommend the RJ Films team to my friends and family and all of you!

beautifully made, I knew we would be in great hands! They were so responsive and easy to work with from day 1. Brandon was quick to respond to every email, and set up a phone call where he really took the time to get to know you and make sure they would be a good fit for your wants and needs. Our wedding plans were quickly thrown off course 3 months before our big day due to COVID-19. The RJF team showed us so much kindness, patience, and flexibility as we navigated decisions on how to move forward with our wedding day. We changed our day from a large wedding at our venue to a small intimate backyard wedding with just our immediate family. I can’t tell you enough how supportive and kind Russ and Brandon were throughout all of these changes. Our wedding day came and they arrived with big smiles and it was so nice to be surrounded by their positive energy all day! We just received our sneak peak and I’m crying happy tears!!!! They captured our day so so beautifully! I can’t wait to see the entire film and share it with all of our friends and family who we weren’t able to have with us that day. If you are debating whether or not to book RJF to film your day, ABSOLUTELY DO IT!!!! There is something about having the day on film and watching it back just transports you immediately back to that day and gives you all the feels! I HIGHLY recommend Russell John Films, there is no one better than this team and you will be over the moon happy with the outcome. Our wedding day video will be a gift we cherish for the rest of our lives.

has a different flow. They don’t fill footage into a formula. Our wedding guests are still talking about the same-day edit! I was so surprised that I didn’t realize they were even there. The whole team was great at capturing the little moments while staying behind the scenes, so to speak. Also, my dad had a couple requests on the final film that they accommodated after the film was already made. They really care that you’re happy with the final video. I HIGHLY recommend them!

ir videos told a story, instead of being a “moving wedding slideshow.” I took her advice, and I’m so glad I did! Brandon handled the logistics, and Russ was our lead shooter. Russ and his second shooter worked seamlessly with our photographer on the day of the wedding. When we received our cinematic highlight, I was really blown away by the color correction. I heard from my friend about the important of color correction in setting the tone and mood of a video, but I didn’t quite understand until I saw it. Our wedding had very bold colors, and the resulting video was so rich and vibrant, it really matched the aesthetic. In addition, the way they interspersed the vows and the footage really told a coherent story. In layman’s terms, they made a movie that looked like a DC film but told a Marvel story. I will say I had to reach out a couple of times when a video was about a week late, but they always responded promptly to my inquiries, and the deliverables were really not that far off from the contracted due date. We’re so pleased by the finished product, and I highly recommend choosing them for your wedding!

Their ability to capture everything from grand emotions to the slightest details has left us all in awe. Engaging them to film our wedding weekend was one of the best decisions we made."

andon was great, but it was a little difficult getting connected to Jeremy. Jeremy actually took the initiative to email us to confirm the meeting and we felt great after talking with him. Jeremy and his assistant were professional, efficient, courteous and amazing to work with. Thanks for having so much fun with us on our wedding day and for capturing the BEST moments, which made for an phenomenal film. We appreciate your attention to detail, finding the best ways to accommodate our requests while still keeping your artist value and being so easy to work with. Thank you!
