Keep watching these videos for the rest of our lives. 10/10 recommend Wildwood Wedding Films.
The whole crew did an amazing job at capturing the day. Their on site attitudes were phenomenal and created a very calm space for everyone to just relax into being on camera.
JD ...
was so helpful in the planning and prep stages, and he took great charge when it came to photos and video on site. He was very helpful in getting us into just the right poses and he perfectly melted into the background to capture a lot of candid moments.
Isara was equally amazing on the video! We received so many compliments on choosing this team, and my parents especially loved working with Isara for the interviews!
It was so wonderful to see their excitement on capturing different moments and it really came through in their work. JD followed up with everything throughout a one month period post wedding, which was so much faster than we expected! Everything came out beautifully and I probably watch our video once a day!
Wildwood did our wedding with very short notice from us, and it was absolutely beautiful. The footage that they took really captured the energy of the wedding. They were very profe...
ssional and had plenty of great ideas for shots that came out great. We were even able to add something to our ceremony that we hadn't thought of because of their intake form/questionnaire. We would definitely suggest them to anyone getting married!
We had an excellent experience working with Wildwood Wedding Films. JD was professional from the planning to execution of the perfect day. He communicated his ideas and listened to...
ours with a desire to please the bride and groom with their dream wedding footage. He caught important moments at just the right time with an artistic eye. JD set up cameras at multiple angles as well as got some really fun drone footage throughout the day. He puts the couple at ease during a time that could be stressful.
JD’s turn-around time for the teaser and highlight film beat our expectation. The quality of the videos is excellent and perfectly tells the story of my daughter’s wedding day. We are thrilled with this outcome and we’re so thankful we chose Wildwood Wedding Films to document the day.
It was a pleasure having JD as our videographer. He worked incredibly hard to get some great footage of our special day and we are forever grateful to have such a beautiful video t...
o be able to look back at for the rest of our lives. You will receive a ton from him for the price, which was very reasonable! We got a teaser, a highlight reel, the entire wedding ceremony, full dances, full speeches, and a 5-7 min video all for an amazing price. I had hired JD after having issues with another videography company. The original videographer still showed up but did not deliver my video until almost a year later and also showed up to my formal wedding in shorts and a T-shirt. JD on the other hand began to deliver almost less than a month after the wedding. So be careful who you hire for the big day, look for well established companies such as Wildwood. I had no such issues with JD, as he was professional and trustworthy. I am so glad I went with my gut feeling and decided to hire him. 10 out of 10 stars I highly recommend Wildwood Wedding Films & Photgraphy.
We had the most amazing experience with Wildwood Wedding Films! From our initial encounter to the very end, every step of the way has been filled with nothing but professionalism, ...
organization, and attention to detail.
Upon booking, JD answered all of our questions and the booking process was seamless. There are so many options to look at in terms of add ons and just having exactly what you want for your video. (drone, second shooter, interviews, etc.)
On our wedding day, JD showed up early, which was beyond appreciated, and he was prepared to get all of the behind the scene + detail shots before all of the action really began. JD was communicative and was great at direction while also providing ideas for different poses / shots. He had the sense of urgency that is needed on a wedding day and was also helpful at specifically giving advice to us as the Bride & Groom. A vendor that can recognize that this is your first time getting married and you’ve never gone through all of the traditional steps on a wedding day, is so important to have to encourage and guide you on your big day. JD was such a rock for our wedding and timeline and I would have every regret if I did not book with them! Book Wildwood Wedding Films for the best wedding video that you can look back at for years to come.

hing for a videographer for our wedding, his services were reasonably priced, and we were very happy for what was included in his packages. He provided lightly edited footage for all of our key moments such as the service, toasts, dances, etc…something that we didn’t find in any other videographers in our search. On the weekend, he rolled with the punches, and we will happily cherish our wedding videos for so many years to come! Thank you, JD!

We couldn’t be happier with the incredible work J.D. did for our special day! From the moment we first met, it was clear that he understood our vision and were genuinely invested ...
in making our wedding memories last a lifetime.
On the day itself, J.D. blended seamlessly into the background, capturing every precious moment without being intrusive. The final video was nothing short of magical! The details and editing was beautifully documented.
We especially appreciated how he incorporated our personal story into the film with interviews from close friends and family.
If you’re looking for a talented videographer who will go above and beyond to create stunning memories, we highly recommend J.D.—he truly exceeded our expectations!

rom every angle. His attention to detail ensured that not a single special moment was missed.
From the beginning, JD was incredibly easy to communicate with. He took the time to understand our vision, providing valuable input and suggestions to enhance our ideas. On the day of the wedding, he was professional, unobtrusive, and seamlessly blended into the background, allowing us to enjoy our day without any added stress.
The final videos he created were absolutely stunning. Each shot was beautifully composed, and the editing was flawless. JD's ability to capture the emotion and essence of our day is something we will cherish forever. He perfectly documented not only the big moments but also the little, candid interactions that made our day so special.
Moreover, his dedication and passion for his craft were evident in every frame. The transitions, music choices, and overall narrative flow of the videos were beyond our expectations. Watching the video feels like reliving the day all over again, and for that, we are eternally grateful.
We wholeheartedly recommend JD to any couple looking for a wedding videographer who is talented, dedicated, and truly cares about creating a beautiful keepsake of their special day. Thank you, JD, for your outstanding work and for giving us a video that we will treasure forever.

er and over each year. Wedding days are whirlwinds, and I was so thankful for the attention to detail that Wildwood Wedding Films took to ensure nothing was missed. JD was kind, professional and his work speaks for itself. Javier was the assistant on the project and we were thrilled with his work as well. Weddings are a big investment, and while high quality videographers like Wildwood Wedding Films are also an investment, it’s one of the best investments we made. Each time I watch our wedding film I notice something new, each time I am brought back to one of the best days of my life, and each time I am thankful I researched videographers and found JD at Wildwood Wedding Films. Highly recommend.

ial day. As soon as I arrived at the venue, I saw JD and was immediately put at ease because I felt like I was in expert hands, and the final product is beyond anything we could have imagined. JD caught every detail and captured our story in a way that was unique to us. Our venue (Mt Hood Organic Farms) is a dream venue and they really showcased what an amazing day we had there - including with the drone. They got interviews with some of our closest friends (& my 93 year old grandmother) and captured all of our special moments. We've been married about 3 months now and I watched the video yesterday and was in (happy) tears with the emotions and memories of the day. And we got our 60-second teaser back while we were on our honeymoon (less than two weeks after our wedding). It really has been such a such a special way to relive our big day and share with family and friends (including those who weren't able to attend).
We really debated getting a videographer - it felt like a nice to have - and now it feels crazy we were ever questioning it - the videos are so special and we will cherish them for years to come.

Since the beginning J.D. was excellent at communicating and was happy to answer all questions we had. He and his team were punctual, super easy to work with and they were able to get all of the shots we wanted for our big day, including drone footage!
After our wedding - J.D. provided our wedding footage so quickly, we were so surprised! He made so many awesome edits and clips from our big day - it has been so magical to relive.
We highly recommend Wildwood for all your videography needs - you will not be disappointed!
JD and his assistant were incredible. They were there the whole day but did not once interrupt our time with friends and family and that's exactly what we wanted. They really unde...
rstood the assignment and paid attention to all our requests.
Working with JD was also super easy. Not only does he provide amazing work, but he's also transparent with his business which we love. Everything about the process was very straightforward and had no hidden costs. He was also quick to respond to all emails and texts. He also delivered the final videos much faster than we'd expected which was much appreciated!
We cannot recommend JD enough and I'm a picky bride!
(PS. If you're on the fence about getting a videographer for your wedding, we'd say to go for it even if you're shy people like us :). The wedding day went by SO fast that we felt fortunate to have JD recording all the details of our special day.)
This team was a dream to work with! From the start there was easy and responsive communication. On the big day I felt very relaxed as they did it all.

married in nature was a really important part of the wedding for us and the photography shots and video he got were amazing and really highlighted the beauty of the oregon coast while still capturing some genuine moments of us that showed our love for each other. He also got some great stuff at our reception and edited it all into a really great video that makes me a little emotional each time I watch it. I highly recommend using Wildwood videography for your event!

J.D immediately responded to the inquiry and asked a series of questions to ensure he knew what was important to us along with give us several recommendations for other wedding vendors to consider. The day of the wedding J.D. showed up on time and captured all of my special moments so elegantly. He delivered all of my videos on the expected dates and I believe he went above an beyond with overall service. I am beyond impressed with his work.

’s and my wedding! From working with him at the wedding with lots of people, delays and even some rain to seeing the cool things he brought to the table coupled with the quality of videos he formatted for us made every dollar worth it. Thanks for making our day even more memorable!
We loved JD! He was easy going and absolutely was a delight to be around. We would definitely him to other couples.
J.D. is amazing. He came all the way to Vancouver to capture all of us women getting ready the morning of the wedding. He then went to Portland, where the ceremony was and captured...
such beautiful footage of the venue before guests got there. He worked so well with our photographer to make sure they were both getting the shots they wanted. He does such great work. He sent us full length edited videos of the ceremony, toasts/speeches and reception 2 days after the wedding!! He then got us our final highlight film about 2 weeks later. I cannot rave enough about the detail he captured and how great the film is. We were extra needy and wanted all of the raw footage as well. He went above and beyond and got us a hard drive to upload it to. I researched my vendors like crazy. The cost of a videographer was my biggest hesitation about deciding whether to get one or not. But I felt their prices were very reasonable. I HIGHLY recommend Wildwood Wedding Films for you big day.
J.D. is very quick to respond and super clear communicating what to expect beforehand. Then on the day of our wedding, he was the most organized, consistently reliable, and artisti...
cally skilled person you could ever hope to have as a videographer! He kept our wedding day flowing smoothly, even going above and beyond to help coordinate with our photographer for ultimate video and photo coverage of our day. After the wedding, he kept us updated about getting our videos out to us, was quick to edit and produce our wedding video, and our highlight video was simply incredible! I’d recommend J.D. to anyone— definitely a top notch vendor and great to work with. He’s very organized, prioritizes communication, and delivers the quality promised, which looking back at wedding planning over all and working with different vendors, I realize those are the most important qualities.
We loved JD’s creativity, diligence, professionalism, and video style! He was always immediately responsive to our questions and needs. He took a lot of extra time and care in ed...
iting and making our videos perfect! But he also made sure to send the videos to us so incredibly quickly! (We got them way faster than our photos from our photographer). JD stayed with us for the entire day to capture all the small details on video. He knows how to capture unique still shots and find the right angles for the best lighting, and even brought a drone! We appreciated his good nature, lightheartedness, flexibility and positivity through out everything! We highly recommend Wildwood Wedding Film production and thank JD for his amazing work! It was especially nice to send the video(s) to our loved ones who couldn’t be at out wedding during this Covid-19 pandemic and we are happy to have this documentation to cherish forever!

The quality of the videos -- stunning, the communication – timely and consistent, the timeline of what would be happening and when --were on point every single time. He is an incredible videographer. The videos that he produced are spectacular and had us all crying when we saw them. Parts of the wedding that you miss, are captured forever – priceless! Everyone that has viewed the videos has commented on the exceptional beauty and quality of the films. This was the best decision and the best investment. Could not be happier.

We’re so glad JD was with us the whole day from setting up till the end and it didn’t feel intrusive al all - it’s how we got so much great footage.
