The final video exceeded our expectations, showcasing not just moments but the essence of our love in a breathtaking cinematic style. Professional, personable, and incredibly talented, he turned our elopement into a timeless keepsake we'll cherish forever.

I can’t say enough amazing things about Fernando and South Bay Films! Our wedding highlight video is absolutely incredible,he captured the emotion, the magic, and everything I felt...
that day. Watching it feels like reliving a dream, and it’s such a beautiful reminder that it was all real.
The day goes by so fast, and having both a great photographer and videographer truly makes all the difference. Fernando did an outstanding job capturing not just the ceremony, but the entire day, from getting ready to every special moment that followed. He worked with such professionalism and came fully prepared with all the right equipment to create pure magic.
What impressed me the most is that I didn’t give him much direction, I just shared what was important to me, and he went above and beyond. I’m so grateful we chose him and that we have this video to look back on forever.
I highly recommend having a wedding video, and I highly recommend Fernando and South Bay Films. You’ll be so glad you did!
We use South Bay fils for our wedding Video and we couldn't be happier. They gave me all of the raw footage I wanted from the day, but also put together a beautiful highlight video...
. We've been married for over two years now and still watch the video at least once a month. It's an amazing way for us to relive the day. Fernando was so easy to work with and took care of everything. I didn't have to worry about a thing, and he was very communicative. I loved that I could trust he would get the job done because of his expert experience. I was amazingly surprised at how fast he got the video back to us. As soon as we were back from our honeymoon, it was in my inbox. If you're on the fence about getting a wedding videographer, take this as your sign to take the leap and do it. Choosing South Bay to do our wedding film was the best choice we made for our wedding and was worth every penny!
Fernando filmed my daughter’s wedding and reception which were on 2 separate days. He arrived early both days and got such great footage. He delivered a wonderful video very quickl...

edding video, and we will get to have this beautiful keepsake for the rest of our lives. We were originally on the fence about booking a videographer for our wedding and I am so glad we did, and I am so glad we found Fernando. If you are on the fence, book him, he is the best and has an eye for creating a beautiful story through film.

It brings us with great joy and pleasure to recommend SouthBay Films Videography for your future wedding. The video that Fernando has crafted has enabled us to relive our special ...
day together. His vision and creativity is not to be overlooked. Fernando was present from the beginning to end, and was able to capture moments that are priceless. After viewing the video he also allowed us to see if there were any changes that needed to be made, ensuring us 100% satisfaction. He also provides you with a hardcopy of all the footage to view later on, which also helps captures countless memories he has recorded that couldn’t make it on video.
We are very lucky to have found SouthBay Films. Finding a videographer is an investment that will be part of the rest of your lives. After viewing our video we found that this investment was worth every penny. We would like to share with everyone that your investment will be in great hands, and we highly recommend the Feature Film Package to ensure all your priceless memories are captured in one masterpiece.

Super talented team that captured our wedding day with beautiful visuals that will be treasured for years to come. The prices were reasonable and one of the best packages you will get.

We didn’t have to ask for much because he had it all under control . Super professional and punctual with time . It was one less thing to worry about on such a special day . When we saw our unpublished edit there was one small detail we wanted to add and he had it done instantly ! I would highly highly recommend Fernando from Southbay Films to all my friends and family! Thank you again Fernando for capturing our special day you are amazing!!! I cant wait to see the complete footage!! I have watched our highlight over and over again I love it thank you!

uld get the shots they wanted. He was very easy to work with. When we watched our wedding video for the first time, my husband and I were emotional - it was absolutely beautiful. Our friends and family can’t stop talking about it either! Our wedding day flew by so fast and we are so thankful that Fernando was able to capture such beautiful moments that we can look back on.

We were very picky about who we chose as our videographer and we are so glad we went with Southbay Films. Not only was he extremely professional and outgoing, he also has a wide range of experience and was personable! I am so blessed and thankful that he was a part of our special day. He greatly delivered! I highly recommend!!
Fernando is seriously a great man with a great talent. I had found him randomly online and just loved his work that I saw on YouTube as well as the positive reviews I saw. And now ...
I get to be another very positive review and can highly recommend his services. He is friendly yet respectful and professional all in one. He is very punctual ESPECIALLY when my wedding venue was far in the middle of nowhere and still found his way. And I loved how he gave direction while making me feel comfortable when I literally hate cameras all together. He had everything planned out so well while I was just unorganized and a hot mess. He captured beautiful shots without being in the way for my guests to experience those special moments. He worked very well with my day-of coordinator as well as my photographers. He made my husbands and I’s day so special and captured it in the best way possible. I can’t say it enough, I highly recommend!!!!
Fernando went above and beyond for our wedding video. Showed up early to get drone video of both locations and added in a lot of unique shots that we loved. He even set up remote...
cameras from different angles to capture the same moments from different angles. Did an amazing job to capture the emotion and the fun of the day. We gave him an overview of what we were looking for and he nailed it the first time. Great value as well. Definitely will use him again if I get the chance and will recommend him to others.
Fernando created a masterpiece of a highlight video from our wedding day. As we wanted to opt out of getting a videographer at first, I can say that working with Fernando changed m...
y mind! He truly covered every aspect of that day and put it all together in a short highlight film that makes me smile every time I watch it. Fernando is very talented and highly skilled and you will not be disappointed if you choose him!
