Jacob was AMAZING. He was super professional and communicative. He vibed with my husband, myself and our photography team. He made us feel comfortable. Jacob also delivered outstanding work. I cried when I watched the reel and video. I love that we got our raw footage. You can really see how much detail he puts into his work and how much he loves it. Thank you thank you thank you! HIGHLY recommend.
We recently watched our wedding video, and we are absolutely blown away! The team at SD Wedding Films did an incredible job of capturing all of the special moments, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Every detail was perfectly filmed, and it's clear they put a lot of care and effort into creating a beautiful keepsake for us.
We are beyond grateful to SD Wedding Films for being such an important part of our wedding day and for giving us memories we’ll cherish forever. Thank you so much for your amazing work!
Warmest regards,
Carly & Randy Randazzo
Jacob did such an incredible job with out wedding video I sent it immediately to all of our friends and family. He captured our special day so perfectly, fitting in all the special moments we had. I also opted for Jacob to pick the music to use for the video and WOW it was more perfect than I could have imagined! You get such a great, high quality video and his prices are extremely affordable.
Any questions?
SD Wedding Films is incredible. Their exceptional work speaks volumes and instantly convinced us that we had found a team with a unique touch. Their professionalism and quality are unmatched, making them stand out in the industry.
From the first interaction, Jacob answered all our questions pleasantly. A few weeks before the wedding, he reached out to better understand our story and the most important aspects of our wedding that we wanted captured. He also revised our timeline and suggested ensuring we received comprehensive coverage.
Their early arrival and patience as my makeup ran behind on the wedding day were greatly appreciated. His seamless collaboration with our wedding coordinator and photographer made working with him an absolute pleasure. His kindness and understanding made the day even more special.
Throughout the event, he captured countless cherished moments and, most importantly, made us feel at ease in front of the camera.
Receiving the final product was an emotional experience. The video, a true work of art, and the raw footage, equally impressive, exceeded our expectations. Its sheer beauty moved us to tears, and we can confidently say that every penny spent was worth the unforgettable experience.
We are incredibly grateful to have had Jacob capture our wedding day. Working with him was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Jacob not only delivered breathtakingly beautiful footage but also went above and beyond by including the raw footage, which was a huge selling point for us. This means we now have countless precious moments captured throughout the day, allowing us to relive every emotion and special detail.
Jacob's professionalism and attention to detail ensured that no moment was missed. He seamlessly blended into the day, making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. His creativity truly shines through in the final product, as he managed to capture the essence of our day in a way that exceeded our expectations.
If you're looking for a videographer who not only delivers exceptional quality but also provides you with a treasure trove of memories, look no further than Jacob. His work will be cherished by us for a lifetime, and we cannot recommend him highly enough.
I am so incredibly lucky to have found SD Wedding Films. I grew up watching home movies, and while I absolutely love a well-crafted video, I also wanted the raw footage of the wedding—the small comments, the cute little guest moments, and the reaction shots. And Jacob delivered.
We got the Highlights Package which was perfect for us. We got 2 1/2 hours of b-roll, with all the little moments I was looking for, as well as the full moments I needed (the full ceremony, first dance, speeches, cake cutting, etc.) Most videographers would charge even more just to give you the full footage of these moments, but Jacob includes them in the packages, which means the world and is an incredible value.
We also got an AMAZING highlight reel. The pacing, shots, and chosen music perfectly captured the feel of our wedding. Jacob even found the small details and integrated them into the video. For example, one of our table numbers was about how many ballroom dances we learned together, and he showed that table number, then cut to us doing our first dance. It was a little thing that just made the video more unique and catered to us. And I need to mention that this video was delivered to us less than 24 hours after our wedding!! I was honestly at a loss for words.
Lastly, I want to say that Jacob was a delight on the day of the wedding—his shots and directions were so clear and carefully constructed. His creativity for the shots even informed some of our favorite photos from our photographer. I cannot recommend SD Wedding Films more and I would book them again in a heartbeat.
Jake at SD Wedding Films, was referred to us from friends to capture our big day. Our expectations were most definitely exceeded. In the past, I have worked videographers from brands such as Monster Energy, UFC Gym where they have show cased high professionalism and talents when it comes to cinematography. Jake, matched all of these levels of experience, talent, skill if not surpassed them and created our footage in record time of 10 days. We were amazed with the attention to detail with timing, lighting flow and his direction for posing. We could not have been happier with how everything turned out. Thanks again Jake, its wonderful to see people thrive in their passions.

Thank you so much for such an amazing review :)
It means the world to us to know how much you love everything!
Jacob with SD Wedding Films did an FANTASTIC job with our wedding. I am so grateful for hiring Jacob to capture our special day. Jacob was very communicative through emails and very professional in person and throughout the entire process. He was so creative when filming and you could tell he knew exactly what he was doing, and that he enjoyed his work. He also worked amazingly with our photographer as we hired one of our friends. The turnaround time was superb as well, we got our film and the raw footage in less than 3 weeks! I would highly recommend hiring him and his team for your event. Our wedding video was so cinematic and the video told our story so well. Thank you, Jacob!

Thank you Brittany for the incredible review. You two were so amazing to work with and I'll be looking back at your wedding with fond memories for many years to come. I wish you two the best in all your adventures!
Booking a videographer was one of the last things on our wedding to-do list. We are very awkward on camera and didn’t know if we wanted to have a videographer but we are so glad we did! Jacob took all of the most important parts of our wedding day into a beautiful highlight that we can’t stop watching! Thank you Jacob and team!

Thank you Diana for your kind words. I'm glad the experience of booking was simple and we are over the moon that you love the amazing work our team did. Wish you both the best!
Jacob did a fantastic job capturing our wedding and was a pleasure to work with. We're very happy with all of the clips he got for us!

Thank you so much for the kind words Isabela! It was a pleasure being a part of your wedding. I wish you both a life time of love and adventure!
I can’t recommend SD Wedding Films enough! We were on the fence about whether to hire a videographer for our wedding, and I am so glad that we did. Our main concern was the price, but after doing a lot of research we found that this company offers a lot of flexibility and different packages so you only pay for what you want. With any package, they provide you with the raw footage that has the video linked with the audio, which we learned isn’t necessarily guaranteed with other companies. So, in addition to having our highlight reel, we have all of the footage from our wedding and can go back and watch everything! The day goes by quickly and there’s a lot you miss, so it was great to go back and relive it.
The team is also very friendly and pleasant to work with. They have great communication, both in person and in writing. The videographer conducted his work in a very discrete manner, and knows how to work around people and in collaboration with other vendors. It was absolutely worth it, I’m so glad that we decided to hire a videographer. The final product was amazingly well done, and I’m so thankful that we have footage from the day. Thank you SD Wedding Films for beautifully capturing our favorite day!!

We weren't sure about booking a wedding videographer but after seeing some of their wedding work we were hooked. We're over the moon excited with our wedding film, its so much fun to watch it again and again. Being able to watch it years from now will bring us so much joy!
