Working with Austin was unfortunately not as positive as we had hoped. During our initial call, it wasn’t fully disclosed that they don’t have someone from their team who travels to events; instead, they hire a local contractor. While this wasn’t a dealbreaker, we feel it should have been made clear upfront.
After signing the contract, communication became an issue. A week before the wedding, we hadn’t heard from Austin despite emailing several times. My husband had to text him to confirm details and finalize a plan, which left us feeling uneasy.
On the wedding day, the videographer was nice and did a decent job. However, the drone we paid extra for wasn’t updated, causing missed opportunities for shots before the ceremony. The drone footage we did get felt rushed as a result.
Post-wedding, we had to follow up multiple times to receive our sneak peek and video. Austin was also supposed to upload all our raw footage to a shared drive, but some files were missing. After weeks of waiting and persistent follow-ups, he finally completed the task. Overall, we felt the attention to our event was lacking, as Austin seemed distracted by other commitments. While the final video was decent and we liked it, the overall experience was disappointing.
My husband and I got married yesterday (6/21/24) and we could have not asked for a more beautiful day. We had the pleasure of working with Ramses as our videographer, who was so extremely kind! He was so present and wanted to make our day so special. Austin, the owner of Val Verde is truly a gem to work with. I couldn’t recommend them enough!!!!
We are in love with our wedding videos! The whole Val Verde team perfectly captured the joy we felt on our day.
We can’t say enough good things about working with Austin at Val Verde films for our wedding video. Out of all the vendors we worked with, he was by far the fastest to respond to our inquiries every time, and the easiest to communicate with throughout the whole process, which is such a blessing when you’re juggling so many different individuals and businesses to put together the big day! The videographer local to us was lovely and did a great job, and the whole team put together a beautiful video we’ll cherish forever, for one of the best prices we we were able to find near us. Thanks again to the whole team, we would recommend you to anyone and everyone!
Austin Oden and his wife KC were a pleasure to work with. They were professional and the videographer, Aiden, that showed to film the day was a pleasure to have around. We just received our videos back today and we cried reliving such a special day. The highlights video showed exactly the vibe and precious moments that we'll cherish forever. We added on the footage of the ceremony and it is so special that we are able to share it with the family members that were not able to make it due to their health and age. The quality of the videos are great. We honestly were not thinking on getting a videographer but we are so glad we did and so happy that we chose Val Verde Films to work with. Austin communicated well throughout the whole process! 10000/10 recommend Val Verde Films!
Val Verde Films was the perfect choice for us for our wedding videographer. From the first phone call with Austin, I felt like our wants and needs would be seen, respected and achieved. Very early on in our wedding planning process, I decided to choose vendors that felt like friends, so we would be surrounded with that feeling on our wedding day -- this made Val Verde Films the right fit, especially once we learned we could also get all the raw footage and a separate, complete ceremony video, which is so special to have as my grandpa married us. Mika was the one who shot our wedding day and was incredibly sweet and talented. My mom went on and on about how much she loved Mika after our wedding day. She got all of the perfect shots, and our wedding video was absolutely beautiful and the perfect snapshot of our day and the feel of it. It will be so special to have forever and I love how many of our family and friends' faces are featured in it while the focus is still on the special promises we made to one another. We received our video just over three weeks after our wedding -- so quickly, especially considering Austin and his wife welcomed their first child into the world during our wedding month. We will always cherish our video and be thankful we chose Austin, Mika, and the Val Verde team for our wedding day.
When they say they will do everything to make your day perfect they mean it. They got detailed shots and everything! There was an emergency with our videographer so they sent someone else and I was nervous but he did SUCH a great job!!! 10/10
We got to work with Austin and he was seriously the BEST!! I had no idea what to expect throughout the day and he made everything so easy. I had a smaller venue where people were in and out and he was not only there to film but to make sure I had anything and everything I needed. I cannot recommend them enough!!!!
Nearing the time of our wedding, we had made the decision (very late) to get a videographer. My now wife started looking around for videographers in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area and one that we liked based on their website examples was Val Verde. We reached out to them to ask if they had availability for that weekend and surprisingly they did. Austin came out to the venue and was a joy to have with us on our day. He was so excited about being there, loved filming alongside our photographer, and even helped with things like getting me my stashed granola bars when we were busy with photos. I could not be happier with the result of the videos, and we paid for the package where we get all the clips so we can have them all and I am so excited to make a huge hour or more movie out of all the clips. Val Verde was amazing and I recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing videographer and people.
I could not be happier with Val Verde Films. Austin was so responsive and really listened to what we were wanting from our wedding video. He made us feel confident in choosing Val Verde Films right away. Wes, was the day of videographer. He was great! He worked well with our photographer and made us feel comfortable. He captured every important detail of our wedding. The turn around time for our video was SO FAST!! I am truly in love with our wedding video and think it is great that we have all the raw footage as well. I cannot recommend Val Verde Films enough.
We chose Val Verde Films to do the videography for our wedding this August at The Bradford. Austin was very quick with his communication and was very personable on the phone. The day of our wedding Angelica was very sweet and professional, She did a great job of getting footage of all the moments that were most important to us. After the wedding we got our video back in less than a month. We paid for the raw ceremony footage and the 4-5 minute video. When I first watched the 4 minute condensed summary of the day, I cried and also was smiling so much, They did such an amazing job with putting together clips of the really special moments, some of which we hadn’t seen, along with specific parts of people’s speeches that really meant so much. The quality of the video is beautiful and there is not one thing I would change about it. They were such a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend them.
Austin was an amazing videographer and our highlight video perfectly captured the wedding! Would definitely recommend.
Hiring Val Verde and working with Austin and KC (and Austen!) was one of the easiest and most pleasant parts of our North Carolina wedding! We had to reschedule four times due to COVID, had another wedding in another country with the same issues, and our previous videographer left with our payment and ghosted us - total nightmare! Until Austin at Val Verde stepped in, he was so kind and understanding. He and his wife worked with us to find the perfect package and price so that we didn’t have to compromise anything. On the day of we had issues with several vendors, but not Austen (the videographer Austin had for us for the day) he was so sweet and professional, a total joy to be around! He also had the most amazing ideas that resulted in a gorgeous video. Our video was done sooo quickly and is absolutely gorgeous, Something we will look back on and treasure for years to come. The entire experience was so easy, joyful, and amazing I could not recommend them more!!
I cannot recommend Val Verde highly enough. Austin was super responsive from day 1 all the way through sending us our videos. Our videographer for the day was Kayli and she did an incredible job capturing all of the sweet moments big and small. My family and I felt like she was an old friend instead of someone we met that day. Austin and his team edited the videos and sent the over to us quickly! My husband and I were both thrilled and have watched them over and over. Highly recommend booking Val Verde!
Austin was amazing and captured everything we wanted in our wedding video. He was easy to work with and very professional. We are still obsessing over the final product Austin put together for us. Highly recommend!
Val Verde Films captured every precious detail of our elopement with perfect care and emotion.
Meeting Austin felt like meeting a long-time friend. We literally met for the first time as I was running to put on my dress and he immediately made me feel comfortable and beautiful. His calm & friendly presence was was so accommodating and gave me the confidence to enjoy the moment and relax. He moved through the ceremony carefully capturing details from the distance while paying attention to lighting and opportunities to catch the perfect moments!
When we received our video, we were truly blown away and so touched by the creative composition and attention to the tiny details! He carefully crafted the film to compliment our chosen song and convey every emotion of the day to build a “tear-jerker” that we will cherish for the rest of our lives!
Well done, Austin! As a Creative Director myself, I’m very proud of you and the film you created for our special day! You are full of talent and and have such an eye for composition!

Thank you for everything!!
We absolutely loved working with Austin and his team for videography needs! If you’re looking to have your wedding day captured on film in a thoughtful and beautiful way, this is it! Austin was quick to respond when we initially reached out to him for more information. We hopped on a call, and I could tell right away that Austin was attentive, caring and professional. Between that and the company’s website, we were quickly and easily able to select Val Verde films as our vendor. We also appreciated their transparent pricing – surprisingly hard to find when you’re doing your wedding vendor shopping! Austin kept in timely communication leading up to the wedding and was able to get a feel for what we wanted through a quick questionnaire. On wedding day, Luke from the Val Verde Films’ team was our videographer. We couldn’t have asked for a better addition. Luke was punctual, cooperative with our other wedding vendors, and effortlessly helpful. I think he even helped hold/position my dress a few times! He truly went above and beyond to make our day special, and he was just so kind. Once our wedding day ended, we received an amazing highlight film edited by Austin and team. We actually were surprised with how quickly we received it given how busy wedding vendors are these days! It was such a beautiful summary of our wedding, and it is so special to have friends and family members captured on film. Austin even paid special attention to my request to have my dad’s toast be part of the video. We cannot say thank you enough to Val Verde Films for capturing such a special time in our lives.
Austin was amazing! He was super wonderful to work with and captured the most amazing moments from our day. We almost didn’t have a videographer for our wedding but after talking with Austin we knew we wanted to work with him and are so glad we did. The video is our favorite memory from our wedding! After all the hard decisions we had to make because of COVID, Austin gave us the ability to share our day with all the people who couldn’t be there which was absolutely priceless. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
Austin was incredibly helpful in helping me find and establish my vision for what I wanted the video to capture of our big day! He walked me through the highlights and asked great questions. We hardly noticed him at the wedding (a good thing!) but be shot everything we wanted! I’m so glad we hired him and have this memory to cherish forever!
Austin and KC are the sweetest people and will absolutely make you feel seen and known and help you every step of the way!
10/10 recommend hiring a videographer for your big day and Austin is the best!
Austin is very communicative! He was one of the first vendors I booked at the beginning of 2020 and through the whole pandemic he made sure I knew he would be at our wedding! Austin made sure I had all my questions answered and even custom did a package for exactly what I wanted. He was on time and worked very well with our photographer!! He did a phenomenal job, and I am SO picky about videographers and photographers. On top of that, he had our ceremony video and highlight video done within a month with a week of no power!
Austin was so easy to work with and did a fantastic job with our video! As much effort and stress goes into wedding planning, we got to meet up with him to have a beer and he made us feel so relaxed. He even offered to hit up Target or a store the day of the wedding if we needed anything! We are forever grateful for Austin because due to Covid some of our family was unable to make it. We are able to send them all the videos and it feels like they were right there! We loved Austin and hope y’all will too!
Austin is the BEST videographer - stop your search and hire him!! We had to reschedule my wedding due to Covid and went back and forth with different dates and options and he was extremely understanding and flexible through. He was so easy to work with and probably our #1 favorite vendor from our wedding. Not only does he do amazing work, he's such a great person. I can't say enough great things about him and how calm and excited he made us feel throughout the day. (He overheard the bridesmaids talking about needing Sonic drinks and he offered to make our run - WHAT? Insane. Amazing.) He was open to hearing everything I wanted in my video and wanted to get to know us as a couple before hand. He had great ideas and such a creative eye. We booked Austin for our rehearsal dinner and all day of our wedding day including the groom's golf tournament in the morning. You will not regret hiring Austin!! Best decision we made and we will cherish the footage forever.
Austin was so great to work with! His videos turned out great! He was super easy to work with. Got all the video footage we were looking for and didn’t feel like it took any effort on our part. He was really good at not being obvious or a distraction and was still able to get amazing shots!
Austin was AMAZING!! He made us feel comfortable, worked so well with our other vendors AND got our WONDERFUL video to us super quick!
Best decision we made to have him capture our big day!
Austin was able to capture the special moments in a beautiful highlight from our wedding night! I still look back at my video and it makes me cry. He was flexible when I told him what I wanted and he listened to those special moments I wanted to be caught on camera.
