About this vendor
Relive Every Moment
Hi, I'm Russell, head filmmaker at RZ Productions.
When it comes to weddings, we are very detail oriented and focus on all the little things that make your day special. I pride myself in being present at every wedding we book.
To me, that is the only way to get a true sense of the couple and all of the emotions your night brings. Those emotions are then transferred into the beautiful films we produce. We specialize in capturing unique and real moments without disrupting the wedding day flow. My goal is that our couples are able to relive every little and big moment from their day. All the sights and sounds brought back to enjoy for generations to come! We arenât just creating a video, but a perfectly preserved heirloom.

n my video! I love it so much. If youâre wondering if videography is worth it, it most definitely is with this company. I will have memories forever, and they were captured so beautifully. Also, we barely even noticed them the whole day. They are so good at maneuvering around and getting good, authentic shots without being intrusive. BOOK NOW!
RZ Productions was one of the best decisions that we had to make throughout our wedding journey! From the moment Russell and his team came to join our wedding journey, they instant...
ly made us feel at ease and allowed us to be ourselves without any extra added nerves. He followed our journey in the front seat, capturing every single moment. From the teaser clips to the actual video, we were able to relive our wedding through the most raw and real moments that made it feel like we were living back in the wedding day! 1000/10 recommend RZ Productions to be a part of any perfect wedding day. Ours wouldnât have been the same without them! Still to this day, we watch our video at an easy access and relive the best day ever.
RZ Productions exceeded our expectations! My husband secretly hired Russell to film our engagement and I am so glad he made that decision. The video that Russell produced is someth...
ing that we will always cherish. After our engagement video, I just had to book them for our wedding! I knew that I would not regret my decision one bit because they are the best. Russell and his crew went above and beyond to make sure to keep me happy and capture every little detail that I wanted! He is so easy to communicate with and responds in such a timely manner! We have watched our videos over and over just reliving the best night of our lives. We absolutely love every video Russell has produced for us. Do not hesitate to book RZ productions for your big day! You will not regret it!
My partner and I were supposed to be married in October of 2020, but had to cancel due to the pandemic. When we decided to reschedule for November of 2021, we made the difficult de...
cision to have a guest-less wedding, instead LIVEstreaming our ceremony for our friends and families to watch virtually. Only we didn't just LIVEstream the ceremony, but instead, LIVEstreamed the ceremony, second line, first dance, and toasts (pre-recorded by the father of the bride) -- this LIVEstream was quite the endeavor and intimidating to say the least. Enter Russell and RZ Productions. Not only was Russell such a delight to work with - he's creative, enthusiastic, and so collaborative - but Russell also went above and beyond to bring such artistry to this experience for our guests watching from all around the world, to the point that everyone said they not only felt like they were there, but also, that it was the most special, romantic, and personal wedding they had ever "attended" (reminder, no one actually attended in-person!). Our hats are off to Russell and we cannot recommend him and his team highly enough. Consummate professionals, creative, fun, and willing to try new things with enthusiasm and passion. We can't thank you enough, RZ Productions!
RZ productions and Russell exceeded my expectations. Communication was always very clear and in a timely manner, from the first meeting with the videographer, to the final delivery...
of the wedding videos. The films I received are one of the most precious things I have from my wedding. The RZ productions crew worked very well with all of my other vendors, and made a wonderful team with my photographer to capture our special day in a way that I cherish. I truly appreciate the flexibility RZ had with me during the process of having a wedding during the pandemic. I could not have picked a more perfect videographer!
There are no words to truly describe how AMAZING RZ Productions and his team truly are! Being a bride is difficult enough but add being a 2020 COVID bride and itâs just so much! Wi...
th RZ Productions, I didnât have to stress or worry about anything! I remember having a conversation with Russ; I asked for a specific shot on the bench where my husband asked me to be his girlfriend, and he said âyouâre the bride, you tell me what you want, and Iâll do it!â This is what I needed during the most stressful time of planning, someone who just wanted to help ease my day. During the day of, we didnât have to tell Russ anything and could just focus on our day because he ironed out all the details and contacted our photographer beforehand to ensure everyone was on the same page. On top of that, our videos are BEAUTIFUL!!! I feel like Iâm reliving every single moment again every time I watch them. Book RZ Productions; you wonât be disappointed!
Wonderful experience! Russell and his team are very professional and easy to work with. We were so happy with the way our wedding video turned out and couldnât have asked for a bet...
ter videographer!
One of the best decisions I made was picking RZ Productions to be our wedding videographer. A lot of people had told me that having a videographer was not worth it, but after every...
thing, I totally disagree with that. RZ has great packages depending on what you want out of your videographer, and the end result was amazing! I loved every single video we got, and I am so happy to have all these videos to look back to. On top of all that, they were so easy to work with and responds to messages and questions quickly.
Highly recommend RZ productions!!
A few months prior to our wedding I has an instant regret that we didn't hire a videographer and my then fiancĂŠ told me to hire one. Thankfully my wedding was on a Friday (01.17.20...
20) and Russ had availability- we were so lucky. He came highly recommend from a trusted friend and we booked him immediately. And let me tell you- BEST DECISION EVER. Russ was so easy to work with, went over everything, and honestly it was like he wasn't even there on the wedding day (in a good way). The communication prior to the event was great, he answered all of my questions in an extremity timely manner and made me feel so comfortable about the wedding day. I was nervous to have a camera on me all day and night, but as I mentioned before he made it beyond comfortable and while he was there I really didn't even notice. And his videos are perfection. The day was so busy and crazy I really didn't remember much after (we had a great time clearly) and I am so grateful to have hired Russ and have the video and clips to look back on. His end products are flawless. My friends and family can't believe how amazing the videos are. Hands down, best decision we made was to hire RZ Productions!
I booked RZ Productions as our wedding videographer. I CAN NOT express how happy we were with the outcome. They captured every detail perfectly and now have something to look back ...
and cherish. They were professional, diligent, and made sure every detail was reviewed & ironed out before our wedding day. I would absolutely recommend RZ Productions time and time again.
RZ Productions was amazing!! We were on the fence about hiring a videographer but we're so glad we did! Russ and his team were so professional, we honestly didn't even know they we...

ographer! He outlined exactly what to expect in the package we chose, and he even showed us examples of his previous work. My husband and I are completely thrilled with the final product! The way they film and present the footage was so perfect, and they did not miss a beat of our special night! I highly recommend RZ Productions to any couple looking to capture their special night! We are SO thankful to RZ Productions for everything theyâve done for us, and would chose them a million times over again!
Russell was AMAZING for our wedding. He asked what the most important things to me were to make sure to have them in my video. I recommend him to EVERYONE when they tell me they ar...

Anyone getting married in the near future and looking for a videographer?. I 120%highly recommend RZ productions ! They not only covered the entire day and throughout the evening...
and caught some of the greatest moments of my two best friends special day but they stayed until the very end of the wedding and did not miss a beat !! Russell Zimmerman did an amazing job with the coverage of one of the most important days of my friends lives , Iâve done my fair share of wedding photography for a couple years and know how hard it is with the work put in and catching every angle and moment as much possible and he went above and beyond. Iâm obsessed with the teaser and tear up every time i watch it i canât wait to see the entire video of their special day ! Thank you for covering these special precious moments for my girls. I will forever recommend RZ Productions for any event needing videography done ! Check him out you will not be disappointed , i guarantee !! â¤ď¸đđź
Are you looking for a stress free wedding day? Are you looking for someone to capture EVERYTHING without even realizing that they are around? Look no further and book RZ Production...
s. Russell was absolutely fantastic, professional, and timely. He was always available to answer questions and give suggestions for our wedding day timeline. We have gotten so many compliments on our wedding video and rightfully so because RZ's work is incredible. Not only is Russell talented; he was genuinely happy to be around us on our wedding day. 100% book with RZ Productions... you won't regret it!
I can't tell y'all how many conversations that I have had with people who are questioning whether or not they want a videographer for their wedding. DO IT & DO RZ PRODUCTIONS. Th...
e chances of you regretting not having a videographer vs. having one are VERY HIGH. Sure, you might not watch it every day, but the day goes by SO fast and their is so much going on during the reception it's hard to take EVERY THING in - you definitely want to have it to relive the best day ever.
Russell and his team are so amazing, so beyond easy to deal with, and not to mention his videos are 10/10! Do yourselves a favor and pay the extra to have the wedding film and/or teaser because it is so fun to watch it and be able to share it with all of your close friends and family! RZ Productions delivered everything within the timeframe that was promised. They were so receptive to all of my questions and panicking and would get back to me so fast! If you are worried about the cost, they are so reasonable for the area and what you get, and I promise it's worth every $$!
RZ Productions was great to work with! Not only were they very professional, they were easy to get in contact with and answered any and all questions I had during wedding planning....

I am so happy that I chose RZ productions. Upon meeting Russ, I was really impressed with how personable and professional he was. During the time leading up to the wedding, he made...
it clear what to expect, and he was very easy to communicate with. On the day of the wedding, I was amazed with how seamlessly things ran. Russ and his staff blended into the party so well, and they captured SO MUCH! I don't know how they do it! When it came time for Russ to put the footage together, he was very willing to accommodate my personal requests. When we received the videos, my husband and I were so happy with the footage that he captured and the way he presented it. It was all just so beautiful and pure, nothing cheesy or staged. We love our videos so much and will cherish them forever. We are very grateful for the hard work that Russ and his team put into creating these videos and extremely happy with the end result!
