As a creator(music producer, photographer) I was extremely hesitant to work with a videography company that specializes in weddings. Most of the wedding videos I would see online followed the same template and usually came out feeling very cookie cutter and cheesy. With Symboll this was so far from the truth.
Dan, our videographer was as stealthy as could be and one of the most professional creatives I’ve ever worked with. His movement and attention to detail brought out the best perspective and visuals of our perfect day. He captured it tremendously and became a friend in the process.
Our editor Misha wowed us from the beginning with the Teaser she sent us while on our honeymoon. Mind you, this was only a couple weeks after the ceremony. Super Quick turnaround! It felt like a trailer to the next best romantic film. It had me in tears and so thirsty for more. Today I viewed the final video and was absolutely astonished by what they captured. I had to sit down because it had my wind. The vintage style and movement with music made me feel like I was working with a music videographer and editor. From the transitions that align with the kick drum, to the coloring and movement that effortlessly flowed through our choice music. Absolutely superb film work. I hope to work with them again someday soon and highly recommend Symbol if you want a video that is entirely unique and structured to your taste and beautiful day. I hope to work with them again soon. Look no further. Symboll is IT.

We hired Symboll to photograph and film our wedding, and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. While the team seemed professional at first, the quality of the experience, especially the post-production, was lackluster. In addition, the lack of communication and the way the admin treated us was the most frustrating part of our wedding experience.
First, the turnaround time for our photos and video was extremely long. It took the editing team 8 weeks to deliver edited photos and the short wedding film. This was at the end of Symboll's estimated timeline of completion (which was 6-8 weeks after the wedding for all photos and videos). It took the editing team a month (4 weeks) to deliver a handful of edited photos (our "teaser), and that was sent only after reaching out to the client manager 4-5 times.
When we finally did receive our full photo album and edited short film, the quality of both the photos and the film was far below what we expected based on Symboll's extensive and impressive portfolio. The photo editing was subpar and rushed, some with blatant color or brightness issues, and the video quality was also mediocre, with most of it having color issues and editing that lacked the professional feel of Symboll's portfolio. We even put in a request to the video editing team to correct the coloring issues, and their "updated" video edit still used the default camera manufacturer's color corrections, which made our video look dark and blurry, sepia- filtered, and green-tinted, and ultimately unusable. We paid for an edited wedding video, and did not receive a usuable product. See the screenshots attached for reference.
Many important moments of the wedding were also missed, as the photographer only got 1 (!) photo of my family and the bride's family where people were not properly posed / positioned. Even among the raw photos, we could not find shots of my wife's step-father, and limited usable photos of other guests. This was deeply upsetting to our families, as my mother doesn't even have photos she likes to frame and keep in the house.
Prior to the event, we had made a spreadsheet and met with the photo/video team to go over a run of day and priorities - these moments were still missed. This is in addition to the large amount of time and effort I put into the Symboll feedback portal to describe the our preferences and taste. To hit the promised 450 edited photos included in our package (C2), the editing team included dozens of "filler" photos that consisted of arbitrary articles of furniture and exterior shots of our home that had nothing to do with the wedding itself.
Communication with the Symboll team was another major issue. The client manager was either hostile towards us or would flat-out not answer when my wife and I would reach out and ask for updates during the editing process. We only reached out when Symboll was late on deliverables, which the team blamed on being busy due to the "time of year" (the wedding was at the end of October). We felt dismissed and unheard in the weeks following our wedding. For the amount we paid, we expected much better customer service and quality.
Don't be fooled by Symboll's sleek website and high-quality marketing materials. I wouldn't recommend this company to any future couples who are looking for a stress-free experience with reliable professionals. Weddings are once-in-a-lifetime events, and it's incredibly disappointing when a company you trust to capture those memories falls short.
Any questions?

When we first found Symboll Studio, we were a little hesitant because their package pricing was more than what we were initially budgeting for the photo/video. HOWEVER, IT WAS THE BEST CALL ever we made for our wedding! NO REGRET AT ALL! I know it's a lot of money for most people but it's once in a lifetime thing and it's worth the money. The team who helped us the entirety of the wedding, they were super professional, they knew what they were doing. The equipment is very high-end, and they are super friendly and exciting to work with. I like their look, and art directions, very easy to communicate with as well.

So grateful for how amazing this company has been to us in just a short week of communication! They have gone above and beyond to work with us and couldn't have made it an easier process to pull all the logistics together! Simply couldn't be kinder and made things feel a lot less stressful! I can't wait to see the magic behind their lenses on our big day!

I reached out to Symboll through their official website tonight to inquire about wedding photography and videography for my wedding in April 2025. Christian reached out to me within 30 minutes and spent the next 2-3 hours guiding me through all the different options. He was patient and helpful! I booked my engagement shoot, the C2 package (upgraded to 9 hours of coverage since the package only covers 8 hours) + Red camera + film photography with Christian tonight because the process was so easy and pleasant. They are also currently offering a complementary drone :) Thank you, Christian, for making the booking experience so wonderful!

Thank you for your services! Christian,Chris, Shant, Misha were all been so lovely to work with! I would like to specifically highlight Shant and Chris as I worked with them very closely on my wedding day. Shant was so cooperative, fun, and made sure I got all the shots I wanted to get. He navigated all the situation and chaos so effortlessly. Additionally, my now husband, shared that his team he worked with were amazing and hyping them up the entire time. I couldn’t have asked for a better team and amazing people to work with! Thank you for everything!

Had an awesome experience with them! The videographer was great during the wedding and got some really amazing shots. We LOVE the video they made for us. We had some edits we wanted after they showed us the first draft of the video and Misha could not have been nicer about it. He listened to all of our comments and did such an incredible job with the Final Cut of the video. We are so so thrilled with Symboll.

We've been working with Christian from Symboll on a package for our upcoming wedding, and he has made the entire process super easy to go through! He is willing to take the time out of his day at flexible hours to talk over details and answer any and all questions the best he can while making it easy for the couple to figure out what they need for their day. We felt comfortable working with him and getting to understand how everything would work out. We loved what we saw on their portfolio and are super excited to work with the rest of the Symboll team!

Symboll makes the booking process a breeze! I sent an inquiry and Christian reached out to me a few minutes later and we got on a call 10mins after. *It was Saturday night 9:30pm! At 11:30pm that evening I booked the photography and videography package. Christian is such a pleasure to work with- super transparent and knowledgeable. Can’t wait to see how the pictures/ videos turn out. Thanks all.

We cannot thank the Symboll team and our photographer, David, for the amazing job of capturing our engagement shoot. Before the shoot, we appreciated David taking the time to get to know us over a phone call and multiple communications leading up to the day. In addition, he remained very flexible till the last minute when we found out our initial idea wasn’t coming together because the flowers just hadn’t bloomed yet. His eye was incredible during the shoot and captured some moments we would never have thought of. He took his time, made us feel at ease, and made us shine. We are excited to continue working with him and the Symboll team for our big day later this year.

With a quick Google search of photographers, thousands of vendors popped up. I began to put their websites down on my spreadsheets & collected quotes, hours, number of photographers, etc. I came across Symboll & what drew me in was their website. It was so beautifully designed & everything was easy to navigate around. I am used to being the photographer & videographer for my friends & family, so I was looking for something extraordinary that I cannot create myself. I love story telling & art, so when I looked at their ABOUT page, I was floored. It was speaking to me!
After looking around their site for 30 minutes, I called & didn’t leave a message because I was tired & it was the 11th call I did on a Sunday morning (April 7). A few minutes later, I received a text message from the number I called. It was Christian saying good morning & apologized for not being able to pick up our call because he was currently at a wedding, but asked how he may be of assistance to us. He asked when our wedding date was to see if it was available & fortunately it was! He asked us a few questions about how many hours of coverage we need for our date & explained some of the things they specialized in. He explained the RED camera they offer, but also allowed us to do our due diligence to decide what we truly wanted.
The C2 package was popular, but after all my research, we ultimately decided to do the C3 package with add-ons for engagement shoot, drone, RED camera & full movie edit. We felt that this package would truly help capture all the precious moments that will live on forever not only in our hearts & minds but literally for the whole world & future generations of our family to see!
I loved the cinematics & artful beauty of all their work. I watched all the videos & the RED camera was sharper than the normal one. It’s the same camera they use for Netflix & movies. I figured if we are paying this much for our wedding, we are going to have the best photographers & videographers. I’m definitely telling my kids & grandkids that our wedding video was “Crazy Rich Asians” LOL
We texted Christian what we wanted & within minutes he sent us an updated quote & omg was it a great deal. Their standard hours of coverage were 2 to 4 hours more than all the other vendors I contacted. Their price was insanely competitive. They presented great previous work on their website. They also have an FAQ page which actually answered a lot of our questions. Their pricing was straight forward with no hidden fees. We had no travel fee because our wedding is located in their local regions. I was reassured that they have a close knit team of photographers, videographers & editors that work well together & it will not be some random Joe they found on Craigslist to fill the 3rd or 4th shooter position. Christian assured us that we will be meeting our lead photographer & videographer on our engagement shoot & also will have a meeting with them before our wedding.
Christian was so easy to work with & was oh so patient with us & all our many questions. It felt like he was one of our friends wanting the best for us. He even helped advocate for us to get the best deals. We just signed our contract today (April 9) & paid the first portion of the total to secure our date! I cannot stress enough about how great Christian was to us & how excellent his customer service was. His patience & kindness knows no bounds. If you have made it this far into my review then I suggest you call or text Christian & mention Catherine & Henry hehe I am very skeptical about people texting me so I assure you that contacting that number will get you the best human you could ever speak to regarding photography & videography needs. I can’t even put into words how thankful we are for Christian’s help throughout this stressful process. He made it super easy & was never pushy or made us feel like he was upselling or forcing us to do something we did not want to do.
I am so excited for our engagement photoshoot & wedding photos & video! THANK YOU CHRISTIAN!

Symboll made our wedding a dream come true!!! Their dedication to taking a personal approach is on a whole different level. From consultation to appointments to production and execution, they’re a 10/10. We loved their creativity and willingness to stretch the limit, especially with the uniqueness of our venue. David B. deserves a special shoutout for making the bride feel comfortable and catching every detail as if it was his own wedding wish. He’s truly a gem!
To anyone reading this, we wish you nothing but the best in your selection process but you cannot and will not go wrong with Symboll.

Planning a wedding is hard. Choosing a photographer and videographer is a critical decision for any couple. Individual photographers are busy and non-responsive. They can be flaky too. We went through a couple false starts before we found Symboll, and everything got easier once we did. They are incredibly organized, with a well-planned intake process and production pipeline. Their team approach and roster of shooters gave us a ton of confidence (versus hiring an individual photographer and hoping they're really going to show up!). At the event, the shooters all showed tremendous confidence in their work, which gave my wife and I confidence posing for them. (Such an important part of the process!) They were friendly, looked professional, managed our guests with courtesy and everyone was super impressed with the Symboll team. (The guests imagined we spent much more than we did, because they sent us an army - two photographers, a third photographer in training, and a videographer/drone pilot.) It will be a few weeks until we receive our packages (which we understood up front, and is expected) so I will come back and post our reaction to the final work when we get it, but so far, so great! You should definitely hire Symboll for your wedding or event. We couldn't be happier!

This review is purely for the service we received when first connecting with Symboll and working on coming to a decision to work with them. Our wedding is not until 2025 and we just signed a contract to work with Symboll for photography and videography. Christian was the main point of contact that responded to my initial reach out and he has been nothing but extremely understanding and helpful. We knew we were reaching out to a company that really puts out quality into their work and we had the expectations that it may be above our budget, which it was. However as we spoke to Christian more and more, he worked closely with us to discuss what Symboll can do to come within range. We are very excited to work with Symboll and will update this review with our experiences working with Symboll once we have our wedding.

We were extremely lucky to be paired with a top notch team for our wedding - photographer David Bowles and videographer Andranik Arutiunian!
It was pretty warm on our wedding day, but David and Andranik were undeterred by the heat and still managed to get the best shots for us. They were creative with their shots, listened attentively to our suggestions, and went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable while still keeping up with the hectic wedding timeline. All in all, they are true professionals, full of passion for excellent photography and videography. Your wedding memories are in safe hands with them on your team!

We are so glad to have found Symboll to be our wedding photographer and videographer. We wanted unique photos and videos with a clean editing style that wouldn’t appear overly filtered, and Symboll checked every one of those boxes. We opted for the C2 package with RED videography, which was priced incredibly competitively considering the quality of work. Additionally, it came with up to 10 hours of coverage by default whereas most other vendors we looked at typically offered 8 hours.
Working with them was a breeze. It started with messaging their client managers Christian and Attila who broke down their transparent and simple pricing structure. After payment, they sent a helpful questionnaire not only to help Symboll get to know us, but also allow us to narrow down what we wanted. They were always super quick to respond to our questions, and we never felt lost along the process. We were ultimately connected with Shant as our photographer and Misha as our videographer, and we were so lucky to have them on our wedding day. Both were incredibly professional, kind, and overall joys to work with.
Importantly, our wedding happened to fall on a day with suboptimal weather (end of March 2024). It rained heavily for much of the day, and we had booked a largely outdoor venue (Rancho Las Lomas). Despite this, Shant and Misha were incredibly flexible to the wet conditions. These unique circumstances also highlighted the strength of Symboll’s creativity, as Shant and Misha took advantage of the storm to create some incredibly cinematic shots of us. We were so glad to have chosen Symboll when we saw our photos, since we are confident that few other photographers/videographers would have been able to leverage our unfavorable weather conditions like Shant and Misha did. Because of the weather, they were unable to use their drone to capture our day, but they provided us with a teaser reel video in addition to our feature film. Final photos came out beautifully and the short film came back in such a timely manner. We are so happy with the results!

We love how the Symboll style looks effortless and artful. Our photos seem to capture the moment in an authentic way while also looking ethereal and intimate. The way Symboll used an easy portal system to get to know you and where you can pick out many music options for your video. It was also nice to have talked to the team before the wedding to go over the final timeline! Our day-of experience was very smooth, the team was always right there when we needed them and they captured everything! Our experience was smooth and professional. Thank you Symboll team!

I had my wedding this past weekend and working with Symboll has been nothing short of AMAZING. I originally booked Symboll because of their unique photos that were candid and moody. I loved their style and didn't want regular photos that look like they can be taken from an iPhone. This was especially important to me given that my friends regretted hiring their photographers who didn't do a great job. Christian immediately reached out to me, provided many options for me to choose from, answered all my questions and provided me with a recent video they did at the exact same wedding venue as mine. Thereafter, I was assigned to Agata as my photographer and Andranik as the videographer. Working with them during my wedding was a dream. They were perfectionists, took charge, had a unique artistic vision for every single shot and made sure to capture the right dramatic shots. I loved loved loved working with them and cannot recommend them enough!!!! I am so excited to see how the photos and video turn out. I already know it's going to be incredible. I'll update my post once I get the photos. THANK YOU SYMBOLL!

WOW! From first contact with Christian to day of with Agata & Eugene to most importantly the final result we have been in AWE with the experience.
Christian was SO easy to work with, so communicative. I probably texted him a million times (at all times) and he always responded.
Agata and Eugene were exactly what my (NOW) wife and I needed the day of. There energy was great and made us feel extremely comfortable and genuine. They fit right in with the bridal party (and probably thought we were crazy, but went with it)!
I was so impressed with the final video. I never had a "vision" for what the video would be, but once I saw it, I thought "this is exactly what I wanted".
Can not recommend them enough. My sister has already booked them for her wedding in September.

Had a great experience from start to finish with Symboll! Christian immediately was helpful and sold me on Symboll when I was in between choices. Didn’t mind jumping on multiple calls to make sure all my questions were answered. Joshua and Dean were awesome to work with day of the wedding. We were falling behind schedule and I was wanting to rush to get to celebrating with friends and family but they made sure to still catch all the important moments and make us super comfortable throughout. My husband was cracking jokes the entire time and we were giggling and could just be ourselves. This made taking time away from friends and family worth it, since we got to have a genuine moment together as ourselves and still capture great shots to remember our day! Editing truly makes a world of the difference. The editing team did a great job. If you are not sure about a videographer I highly suggest it, it’s so different to live the day through video than photo. You really can feel those emotions all over again. When I found a couple video changes I wanted made Misty was quick and kind to get those done for us. Highly recommend!

Absolutely top-notch service. We worked with Christian and Atilla. Our photographer was Agata and videographer was Andranik. We had an intro call the week before to discuss our wants and needs. During the day of, they arrived with all of their fear ready to go. They were extremely directive and very pleasant to work with. They provided immense support both with the shoot and with calming our nerves from the whole day! They are extremely sweet and pleasant to work with and I could not recommend them more! The direction from both Agata and Andranik was extremely clear and very artistic. They catered to what we wanted and did everything in their power to make sure we go what we desired.
Thank you again for capturing our special day!

Can’t thank Symboll enough for being there with my partner and I on our special day! We had the pleasure of meeting David, our photographer and Eugene, our videographer. They were prompt and got to business right away. They were creative, had really unique ideas of where to position the bridal party. I especially loved how hands on David was. He told us exactly how to pose, what body positions to do to make the shot seem effortless. We didn’t have to think about angles at all. He was an expert! Both had great attitudes and were such a pleasure to be around. Thanks for being there and braving the Palm Springs heat!

We had the pleasure of working with David and Tom from Symboll for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We wanted something far from a traditional wedding video, and they delivered beyond our expectations. Their energy and creativity were infectious, making the entire process truly collaborative. The end result was a captivating short film that perfectly captured the essence and joy of our special day. If you're looking for photographers and videographers who think outside the box and bring your vision to life, look no further than Symboll.

Symboll has been amazing from engagement shoot to the wedding day! They are so professional. We got paired 3 photographers - Josh rupisan, DeAnglo Castro and David Bowles and and 2 videographers- Misha Dudka and Andranik! They literally went above and beyond and delivered! We are so excited to see the final product and will recommend them to our family and friends!

The Symboll team did an awesome job at our wedding on 06/02/23! We had Attila, David, Keith, and Kaleb for our photographers and videographers. They made the photo/video parts of the day fun. The way the team works together and the way they work around each other, flows so smoothly, like a choreographed dance. As someone who likes to shoot a lot of pictures and videos myself, they had the same joy, hype, and energy that I get when i’m looking to capture the best angles/shots/locations at beautiful locations. You can tell they love the work they do and they definitely shoot with you as if they were trying to get a masterpiece shot for themselves. Their equipment is top quality (same exact camera gear that I use myself), so your pics/videos are guaranteed to be quality as well. They are good at making you feel comfortable, and from the beginning of the day, you will already be able to tell that you can trust them in doing well to capture your day. These guys will go beyond your expectations! You won’t regret having Symboll for your photos and videos, at your event.

I cannot thank Symboll enough!!! Im truly just blown away by every single person I've had the pleasure of working with at Symboll, their kindness and ease when working together is unmatched. Not only is the work that they pump out stunning, but they really make the entire process so easy and enjoyable. Their customer service is exceptional, and for a company that has so many different working parts they really work together as one and it shows. All you really have after the wedding day is your footage, so it’s important to find a trustworthy, reliable company to pass that responsibility on to. Thank you to everyone at Symboll who helped memorialize my special day in such beautiful way. I want to personally thank Christian, Misha, Kaleb, and Shant for all your help, and if anyone else played a hand in my shoot, thank you so much to you too! I’m so grateful to each and every one of you.

We booked our photography and videography package with Symboll and are so glad we did! Our photos are everything we wanted and I am so glad we decided to have videography. Spring for the drone footage too! Just do it!

Symboll’s team of photogs & videographers were a pleasure to work with from the initial consultation to the post-wedding delivery of their work. Each team member was professional, friendly, and warm. They added to the magic of our Big Day and didn’t require any handholding or corrections. My wife and I were extremely pleased with their services.

We had the immense pleasure of having Shant Atarian as our wedding photographer and couldn't be happier with the results. His care and attention to detail and ability to capture the special moments of our big day was truly impressive. His photographs are absolutely stunning and not only reflect the joy and love of our wedding day but also honestly captured the essence of our friends and family.
After shooting our wedding, to our surprise, we found out that Shant was actually a photographer we had admired on instagram for years prior. The serendipity of getting to work with him made the experience of working with Symboll all the more magical!
We also loved our wedding film that was shot by John Mark who made us feel really comfortable in front of the camera. His positive and upbeat attitude was infectious and kept us smiling and laughing throughout the day! Such good energy! So so thankful to the videographers and editing team!!!
Finally, we also appreciate the accommodation and patience shown to us by Attila and the Symboll admin team who were nothing but helpful and accommodating when we had a medical emergency that caused our wedding plans to change. I know our requests and circumstances weren’t the easiest to deal with, but they made it work seamlessly in ensuring we were happy at every step.

Symboll did amazing with our videography for the wedding day! Misha was our videographer and he was extremely nice & communicative. We felt taken care of & had a lot of trust in this team. Our 5 minute video was beyond our expectation!! We had so much fun filming & the product was better than we could have ever imagine. The editing team listened to all of our wants and needs and gave us the best memory we could have ever hoped for. They used the two songs that we requested, even with two different genres, and made the transitions seamless! We were also in love with our full day film. It was so fun to look back at all the little details of the day. Our wedding truly was a magical day & we are so lucky to have had Symboll capture that memory for us. They made it so authentic to our personality & really captured our love!! If you’re looking for a videographer, hire Symboll!

My wife and I had an outstanding experience with Symboll! From the early stages, their communication was excellent, which made it very easy to work out the details of our wedding. We did a three day fusion wedding (Indian, Chinese, Mexican), so we required several videographers and photographers. They sent us the best crew who covered every aspect of our events. A special shout-out to Misha (lead videographer) and Shant (lead photographer). Not only are they super kind individuals, they are masters at their craft, and are very open to feedback to ensure the final product is exactly what you want. As part of our package, we had an engagement shoot prior to the wedding and we worked with Shant and John-Michael. The photos came out eipic and were very editorial. These guys and their truly crew went above and beyond for us. I would highly suggest checking out Symboll if you are in search of a talented, professional, and friendly group to cover all your wedding media needs.

We hired Symboll for our wedding and with covid raging, safety was our top priority. They delivered on all fronts! Everyone was tested, masked and a pleasure to work with. Christian did a fantastic job shooting our wedding and Jillian was always there if you had a question. Because we had a really short timeline with the venue, it was a tough event to shoot. Symboll nailed it every step of the way! I would happily recommend them to anyone and if you are considering hiring them, you should do it now!

We had the best experience with Symboll! Our wedding day was captured perfectly and the team were super friendly to work with. We used both photographers and videographers and we barely noticed them documenting the day which was exactly what we wanted. Communication was easy, plus they were extremely professional. They also had a really quick turn around with delivery time and we absolutely LOVE our footage. Thanks for giving us the perfect memories of our wedding day!

I just booked the The Symboll For our wedding and it was the best experience. Christian helped me through every step of the booking process and was so helpful and kind! My initial inquiry was followed up with immediately and he helped me look at all of the packages and helped me build the perfect combination of photo and video for our event. Their portfolio is obviously impressive, but their customer service goes above and beyond! Thank you Christian for all of your help, we are so excited that Symboll will be documenting our day! We highly recommend choosing Symboll as your photographer/videographer!

Chris and I were able to put together our summer wedding on July 31st, 2020 in Paso Robles at CaliPaso Wine & Villa. We reached out to Daniel who owns and runs a team of fantastic photographers, videographers, and film editors.
He really took the time to prepare and set up for our extraordinary wedding/elopement. We asked to have a live feed via youtube for our families overseas and he pulled it off using an iphone- only the wifi and cell service in the area wasn't great which they couldn't help, but no matter - I highly recommend a final video of the entire ceremony professionally captured by his high quality camera and audio setup. That was much more of a valuable, priceless capture. The short 2.5 minute trailer was created along with the longer version 22 mins of the story build up, the ceremony and the last champagne celebration part.
Egor took the role of photography and he did an excellent job capturing all the critical parts of the afternoon and evening. His work was top notch and he made sure that we were getting the shots we asked for. They are both super friendly, but made sure they worked hard. They came a long way from LA to make sure we could make this happen.
Chris and I loved the outcome of both the photos and videos. We have watched them dozens of times and felt this was a worthwhile investment for any couple who want to relive their wedding experience.
Not only that their streamlined process of choosing the video music and website setup was easy and professional.
Please take the time to see their channel and hire them! You won't regret it.

what can I say! Dan and his crew were amazing. Me and my beautiful wife are not the type to glutton over ourselves in photos and videos. We just wanted a solid video for memories and of course to see our best friends and family. They did a spectacular job! made us feel very comfortable in our own skin no tricks or fakery : ) Really enjoyed their style of cinematic shooting as well, it was our lives turned into something beautiful, that still had the wedding touch to it. I highly recommend them as you would be lucky enough to have them film your very special day. thanks again guys!!! will cherish this forever

Fantastic team for our wedding photo shoot. Very professional and helpful throughout the entire process, from meeting with us to understand our vision, to coordinating seamlessly day-of, and following up with us after the wedding to ensure the final product was just what we wanted. We had both photo and video services- both were excellent, with top notch upgrades like drone footage and very high-end recording equipment to ensure that everything was captured wonderfully. Would highly recommend for any wedding.

We had a great experience working with CineStory Films! We were referred to them by friends who were married before us- so glad we went with them. Our package included two photographers and one videographer. We got the shots we wanted and our video is so great! They were able to take photos that were a priority to us- and everything in between! Both of our photographers were very friendly and allowed us to feel comfortable quickly. Our videographer was so great, we were surprised with all of the footage that he got! We highly recommend them!
