Willmus Weddings

event ran seamlessly. Christophe ensured first look and family photos ran smoothly while also taking gorgeous shots of the various moments of the day. We have nothing but compliments about how well he worked with our disabled and young family members. During the planning process, it was very obvious Willmus Weddings have strong professional relationships with the wedding industry in San Diego (which helped make the process even smoother!) Choosing them as our vendors kept the event stress-free, helped us to be present in the moment, and ensured we weren't worrying about logistics at all throughout the day. On a personal level, they're lovely people and we enjoyed all of our planning and wedding-day interactions with them - on top of us, many of our wedding party members told us much they liked Heather/Christophe. If you are having a wedding in the San Diego area, we strongly recommend hiring Willmus Weddings for coordination and photography.

nned and key in keeping us on track during the planning process. She thought of little details I would never have thought to consider. Day of my husband and I did not have to worry about anything but enjoying the day and our friends and family. She is very easy to work with and super knowledgeable with local vendors. She was great with both the vendors she recommended and the ones we found ourselves. Christophe did both our engagement photos and wedding. The photos were stunning, and he made us feel very at ease and not as awkward as we normally would be. Had multiple guests at the wedding come up and comment how thorough and nice Christophe was, noting that he was always in the right spot to capture the moment! If you're planning a Southern California wedding, you could not find a better planner and photographer!

not only on point, with close connections to all of the vendors (photographers, videographer- who conveniently happened to be her husband - florist, lighting, makeup, and hair), but she also genuinely cared about making the day as special as possible for us. We initially met at the wedding site, where she walked us through all the details. Later, we met again at the site for our tasting, and she guided us through decisions that would have been overwhelming without her input. At the six-week check-in, she ensured everything was aligned and every detail handled, leaving little to no lift on our side. The day before the wedding, Heather had all the vendors confirmed and seamlessly managed everything behind the scenes. We didn’t have a worry in the world as she walked our wedding party through the rehearsal and made sure everything was clearly communicated. On the day itself, she had an assistant present who stayed until the very end, and we couldn’t imagine our wedding going any better thanks to her focus on detail and her personal touch. We have no reservations about recommending her for any wedding in need of direction and coordination. If you choose Willmus Weddings, you will not be disappointed.

out our experience! From our first time communicating via email to meeting in-person to sending us our wedding video, Christophe was very helpful, ecstatic, and understanding to our requests. He made us look so intimate and special for our wedding video! Our hearts go out to Christophe and his wife for making our cherished dreams come true. We will live the wonderful moments my husband and I shared during our wedding forever thanks to them! I highly recommend hiring Willmus Weddings for your videographer for a few reasons: pricing was very reasonable and saved us big time at the end!. Christophe was professional and kind about giving us direction for shooting, making our experience pleasant and joyful throughout the whole process. He is timely in response and overall we were so pleased working with him! Thank you, Willmus Weddings, for creating something so special to us!

ic moment of bliss I felt on my wedding day. There was a particular moment we were on the dance floor and everyone was dancing around us and I kissed my husband and just felt so happy, and wouldn't you know he got it! Perfection! I can't wait to hang our photos everywhere.

to catch up on our checklist, and always doing so warmly to make sure things got done without unneeded stress or planning panic. She was supportive in making recommendations on decorations, event flow, and schedule, but ultimately happy to help bring our vision to life once we made a decision. Christophe did a great job of directing us and helping us ease into our engagement photos, especially given our lack of experience with photo shoots. We asked him to help recreate some old family wedding photos and get a few specific shots, and he was committed to getting every detail perfect. I'm sure they do a ton of weddings, but they showed up on our day committed to making our experience entirely unique and special. Anytime Christophe picked up on an opportunity for photos with a special group of people, he immediately jumped in to make sure we got it. Heather even helped me (the bride) take off my wedding heels and put on my dancing shoes when it would be difficult for me to do it myself. They really care, have the expertise to do a great job, and have the flexibility to make a specific couple's vision come to life. We're writing this review 2.5 months after our wedding and have had several friends speak about how great they were, many of them knowing the duo on a first name basis. It was also great to work with them together as they understood each other's styles, planned ahead, and could easily be trusted to operate in sync, leaving us relaxed to enjoy the weeks before and day of the wedding. We feel immense gratitude toward this very talented duo. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

asy to work with. Leading up to the wedding, we were comfortable with everything and his communication was on point. The day of the wedding he made taking photos a truly enjoyable experience. Not only is he a great photographer, but also has a great sense of humor and is just and all around nice person to be around. When we got back our photos & video we were absolutely delighted with how they turned out. The photos are just gorgeous and he captured our wedding day perfectly. From the getting-ready photos, family portraits, bridal couple photos, dance floor, and all the details in between, the photos are stunning. We couldn't be happier with his work. We initially weren't sure about doing videography or not but WOW I a so glad we decided to because the video also turned out amazing. Christophe captured our wedding day perfectly and I highly recommend him for your wedding photography/videography needs!

ideographer for us as well that matched our personalities and vibe. We could not be happier with the finished product! Highly recommend for any wedding or event!

ur special day. Heather is extremely organized, professional and brings a depth of knowledge to the intricacies of planning a wedding that we appreciated. We relied on her knowledge and partnership with top-notch vendors for all of our key elements (band, floral, hair/make-up, dessert) and were thrilled with every single one of them. On our wedding day, we were able to simply sit back and enjoy of the festivities, as Heather and team executed the day flawlessly! Christophe brings energy and passion which translates into a relaxed atmosphere and anlso brought out fun and natural reactions from us and our wedding party. He has an incredible eye for how to use the surroundings to create unique and timeless photos that captured our day perfectly, We simply cannot thank Heather and Christophe enough, and highly recommend them!!!

navigate thanks to Christophe's dynamite personality. We absolutely love our wedding video and cannot thank Christophe enough for capturing all of the best moments and beautifully weaving them together to tell our story.

ion, Heather made us feel at ease with her warmth, professionalism, and extensive knowledge of the wedding process. Heather was exceptionally organized and attentive to our needs as a bride. She was always quick to respond to emails and communications, ensuring that we felt supported every step of the way. Her expertise in coordinating with vendors made the entire process seamless, and we were constantly updated, which kept our stress levels in check. On the day of the wedding, Heather and her assistants were nothing short of amazing. They managed everything flawlessly, from the ceremony and cocktail hour to the reception and beyond. The venue was beautifully decorated, reflecting our vision perfectly, and Heather's supportive presence allowed us to fully enjoy our special day. Our family and friends couldn't stop talking about how professional and kind Heather was—her dedication truly made our dream wedding come true. If you're looking for someone to help make your wedding day unforgettable, we wholeheartedly recommend hiring Heather. She is simply the best! Thank you, Heather, for everything!

We loved how Christophe artistically weaved the clips together and made our video feel so unique and personalized. He is amazing and you won’t be disappointed in his work!

tail oriented and responsive and keeping us on track while also being empathic and supportive. Our San Diego wedding itself was beautiful and amazing and she was there to help us every step of the way. Christophe was a joy to work with and our photos and videos turned out perfectly. Thank you!

lected. During the planning process she also helped us book every vendor and made sure to ask detail oriented questions I would never think about. I could not imagine not having her through the whole process. Christoph was an awesome vibe for our wedding, adding to the fun of the party. He was great with our families and friends and took the best shots. My favorite part was sunset photos where he posed us above ocean . We couldn’t stop smiling with him around! I highly recommend hiring these two together - it’s a great dream team!

ul. They’re professional, responsive, genuine and funny. If your special day is coming up, look no further. You won’t regret it.

irst video I watched, and I instantly FELL IN LOVE! No one else could compare. Working with Christophe was amazing! He was funny, light-hearted, and gave wonderful direction! We never felt awkward, and he had such great prompts! The video he crafted perfectly described our day as a whole. I managed not to cry on my wedding day, but I teared up watching the video he edited together. Cannot recommend him enough!

aphers and how you never noticed he was filming; he just was. Oh and the edit he put together was terrific. We watch it all the time and my mom was teary eyed when she saw it. I highly recommend Christophe for all your videography needs (we have a separate review for Heather who was incredible. Just hire them both and you won’t regret it)

is writing a review for him.) When I first started thinking about who to hire as our planner, I interviewed four different, well-regarded planners. But I immediately knew Heather was the one for us. She was calm, knew her stuff, and on top of her job. I really appreciated her unique combo of getting down to business right away but still being a sweet, genuine, kind person who you'd want to be best friends with. All of this rang true throughout our planning process! She helped us source our biggest vendors from start to finish, something that would have caused me a lot of stress and anxiety. Heather's knowledge of and relationship with local vendors gave me a lot of relief and comfort - making our planning process not only relatively stress free but also fun. She was able to help us achieve the look and feel we wanted while coming in at or even below budget for each component. On our wedding day, she executed everything so smoothly that we didn't need to worry about a thing. I'm sure there were plenty of things and details behind-the-scenes that she took care of and preemptively handled so that they didn't even need to come to our attention - so we could just enjoy and not worry on our day. Our wedding day was even better than we could have dreamed, and Heather played a significant role in why! I am a rather anxious person and a huge planner at work myself, so it's rare for me to feel completely trusting of someone to "take over" - but I found that I trusted Heather throughout the planning and coordination for our wedding. Her experience, warm personality, and ability to "get things done" makes her the best choice we made for our wedding planning. She has our strongest recommendation, you won't regret hiring her!

strated the highest level of organization, creativity, and unwavering support that made our wedding journey something we will never forget. Throughout the entire process Heather gave us a ton of support, offering not just guidance but a genuine commitment to understanding our vision. Her honesty and candor were refreshing, allowing us to make informed decisions that truly reflected our personalities to make our wedding an authentic representation of who we are. What truly set Heather apart was her exceptional ability to maintain a seamless, stress-free experience. She meticulously kept us on track and anticipated every detail, ensuring we never felt overwhelmed. From logistics to the finer details, she was an expert in forward-thinking, leaving us feeling relaxed and confident in the lead-up to our big day. She was always available to talk, offer advice and perspective, and most importantly make us feel heard. During the ceremony and reception, Heather orchestrated everything flawlessly. We were able to enjoy every moment without a worry in the world, knowing that she had everything under control. Her kindness extended beyond us as a couple, radiating toward our families, guests, and all the vendors involved. We appreciated that she created an atmosphere of collaboration and positivity that resonated throughout the event. Her presence brought an immense sense of peace, allowing us to soak up every second of the day. We wholeheartedly recommend Heather to any couple seeking an organized, professional, and genuinely enjoyable planning experience. Her ability to infuse fun into the process while maintaining a high level of professionalism ensured that our wedding was unique, thoughtful, and an absolute joy. Photo/Video: We had a wonderful experience with Christophe for our engagement session as well as on our wedding day. From the very start of the process he made us feel at ease. We aren’t usually super comfortable in front of cameras, but Christophe effortlessly guided us, fostering a sense of comfort and fun that translated beautifully into some truly awesome photos and videos. Christophe's creativity, patience, and efficiency were evident in every interaction. During our engagement shoot he took the time to get a sense of who we were and how we responded to the camera to get us comfortable and moving. By the end of it we were buzzing and immediately became excited about working with him again for the wedding. During our wedding, Christophe and his team seamlessly integrated themselves into the day, working in harmony with us and the wedding party to ensure that every significant moment was captured. Their professionalism and unobtrusive presence allowed us to be fully present in the moment while knowing that the most precious moments were being captured throughout. The results surpassed our highest expectations. Each image and frame tells a story, and every time we look back at them we’re warmed and reminded of so many memories with each other and with our family and friends. We're so grateful for Christophe's talent, creativity, and dedication. For anyone seeking not just a photographer or videographer but someone who can capture the heart and soul of special occasions, we wholeheartedly recommend Christophe. Thank you for everything, Willmus!

ial moment. Even before the wedding day, Heather was constantly checking up with me to make sure all of the planning on my end was going smoothly, offering suggestions/help whenever I needed it. She also caught a lot of essential details that I never thought about, and those details made the wedding the success it was. On the wedding day, Heather was on top of all of the details, professional, and made it so that I didn’t have to worry about anything and just be in the moment. Christophe, from the moment he arrived to start taking photos, was professional, but more importantly extremely fun! He thought of every shot we could want, and executed the photos beautifully. Our wedding party and family had so much fun the entire time we were working with him. Thank you again!

pher or if we could make it work with our budget but we are SO glad we ended up booking one and that it was Christophe! We hit it off with him right away. He's so fun to work with, extremely professional, and brought so much joy & energy to our day. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and helped direct us throughout the day so he could capture everything perfectly. We received our video a month after and WOW, it was incredible!! We were speechless and in tears the whole time. He does such a great job of capturing how much fun everyone had but also the super special intimate moments of just us, it was the perfect mixture. We ended up also purchasing the raw footage and we're so glad we did. The day goes by so quickly and its amazing to see it all on camera and have it forever! Absolutely book Christophe, you won't be disappointed! (THANK YOU CHRISTOPHE FOR EVERYTHING <3)

phone service. Despite all the possible limitations, these two got it together. Whether it was pre-wedding cocktail meetings at cool bars, endless rambling phone calls, to advocating on our behalf, Heather and Christophe made the wedding of our dreams a physical reality. Heather’s meticulous organization and detailed checklists ensured every aspect was perfect, while Christophe’s boundless enthusiasm and positive energy kept us excited throughout the planning of our wedding. What set them apart was their personal touch – the calming shoulder massages, the genuine concern for our well-being, and their unwavering support during stressful moments. They didn’t just plan and capture; they became an integral part of our wedding journey, making us feel like family. We do not doubt that the photos and videos they capture will be filled with the same passion and love they put into every moment of our special day. Heather and Christophe, you are not just wedding planners and photographers; you are artists, storytellers, and friends. Thank you for creating memories that will last a lifetime. Love always, A&B

is remarkable. Christophe's professionalism and calming presence make him an ideal choice for capturing the magic of your wedding day. If you're seeking a photographer who can turn your wedding into a beautiful and unforgettable experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Christophe!

d we couldn’t be happier. Heather was a clear communicator and she does not forget a single detail. She literally thinks of everything! Every vendor she recommended was a perfect fit for us and exceeded our expectations. She kept us very calm and relaxed in the weeks leading up to the wedding and was there to coordinate everything the day of. We also decided to book Christophe as the photographer and videographer. On the day of the wedding, he and his team were so much fun! They kept everyone laughing and moving. Our families and friends had amazing things to say about this wonderful duo!! They keep talking about how the event was smooth, fun, and beautiful. Heather and Christophe have worked numerous wedding at Martin Johnson House in La Jolla and their experience paid off in every aspect with seamless transitions allowing us to actually eat our entire dinner and maximize time with guests all while taking the most beautiful pictures at the ideal locations. We could not recommend Willmus Weddings more! Thank you, Heather & Christophe!

energy to the room. He has such a caring heart and a knack for capturing the perfect moments. And once we got our wedding video -- my partner and I couldn't stop smiling throughout the whole video. It's on constant replay. Christophe brings both fun and exciting elements to the video, while carefully incorporating the sweet, tender moments of the big day. Thank you Christophe for capturing one of our favorite days. If you are hesitant about booking a videographer, do it! And book it with Christophe if you are in the San Diego area :)

nce for us. Heather's flawless planning and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our wedding was executed to perfection. From the charming lawn games at cocktail hour to the elegant table decorations, every detail was thoughtfully arranged, leaving us in awe of her dedication and expertise. Christophe's extraordinary videography skills captured the essence of our wedding day in a breathtaking way. The wedding video he created for us beautifully captured the highlights, emotions, and precious moments, allowing us to relive the joyous day over and over again. Throughout the entire process, Heather and Christophe demonstrated the utmost professionalism, enthusiasm, and genuine care. They made our special day worry-free and unforgettable, going above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly. We felt at ease knowing that they were taking care of every detail.

They turned our dream wedding into a reality, and we are forever grateful for their hard work and commitment. Thank you, Heather and Christophe, for exceeding our expectations and making our wedding day truly magical!

and Nathan's wedding. We hope to work with Willmus Weddings again in the future!

as responsive and genuinely easy to work with. Super positive attitude, and got along with the other vendors perfectly. The end-product, the montage video and the raw footage, were all well worth it, and I can say that I'd recommend Willmus Weddings for videography in a heartbeat. He tied into the mixing board to get the best audio feed, mixed in some day-of drone footage, included just enough of the ceremony and vows, and caught the beauty of the day and celebration. We also did a surprise dance routine, and he and his assistant got multiple angles of it and captured the excitement in the air and the energy of the dance, because they moved around and caught it from a stationary angle, so the combination of splices from each brought it to life in the final montage video. Thank you Christophe!

f things every step of the way. She got our vibe as a couple and what we wanted in terms of style for the wedding right from the get go, and all of her suggestions for vendors were spot on and amazing! She was also great about answering all of my type A questions and giving advice when we were struggling with how to handle certain wedding conundrums leading up to and on our big day. Christophe and his crew were super professional and hilarious at the same time! As someone who can feel awkward taking posed photos, he made me and the entire bridal party feel comfortable and got us all laughing and feeling natural - a true joy to work with! I cannot recommend this dynamic duo enough to plan and capture your wedding!!

wedding. We got multiple compliments from our vendors about how amazingly detailed her timeline was and how easy she was to work with! She also helped me with design planning coming up with inspiration boards, figuring out decor details, and finding a florist making our dream wedding come to life. She was so patient and responsive to anything and everything we needed. We kept getting told by our wedding guests that it was the best wedding they had ever been to and that is all because the day went perfectly thanks to Heather!

o happy with the finished product! It was definitely a bit outside of our comfort zone having all of this attention on us, but Christophe made us feel at ease and made the whole experience fun for us and our wedding party! He was incredibly fast getting our photos and highlight video over to us, and really captured the feeling of the day. It is so nice to have these moments to look back on and relive our big day!

ould not have been what it was without her. She made everything easy. She was the point of contact for everything, if I had a question she got an answer. She was honest, friendly, so helpful, and kept my scattered brain on track. She was easy to communicate with and always got back to me in a timely manner. If you are looking for a wedding planner she is the best of the best.

finally had our special day last month and it would not have been as perfect as it was without them. Heather answered all of our questions, helped us pick the best vendors and most importantly stuck by our side and kept us calm even through our postponement. She is extremely organized, genuinely cares and sticks up for you as a client. Christophe brought such a relaxed and fun energy to our videography needs. Much to our surprise, he also had such an insanely fast turn around time. The video is UNREAL. He did such a magical job intertwining our vows, the ceremony and speeches with scenes of the day. We watched our video 20+ times on the day of receipt and have received so many compliments on it. Also shoutout to Clemence who was the lead coordinator for our actual Wedding Day. She ran around like a mad woman ensuring every little detail was perfect. Our day would not have been as fun, seamless and beautiful had she not been there! Thank you so much Heather, Christophe and Clemence. You are truly a dream team. You are forever engrained in our memories of this special day and we cannot thank you enough!

cient, kind, funny, detailed, and speaks Spanish, He is exceptional!!! He made our wedding day photography seamless and SO fun. The bridal party and family members raved about how great he was with getting timely photos- he had a list y’all!! My husband and I truly feel blessed to have such an incredible photographer be part of our special day. He was like spider man, he was everywhere at the right time and we appreciate the last minute changes he gladly accepted when we presented it to him. I’m not kidding when I say, book him NOW!!!!! Christophe, aka MVP, Thank YOU!!!! The only thing we regret is not booking you sooner so we could of had a better chance at also booking your other half for coordination- totally our fault 😉 . We appreciate you tremendously! Seeing the sneak peak of photos has us anxiously awaiting for the others. We are in love with your work!!!! We adore you! Thanks a million! Jess&Jeremy

, but honestly-- I did not know of, or notice one thing that went wrong. It really was perfect. Heather is organized, on top of everything, and insured that we had the best day possible! I did not have to worry about coordinating anything and could just enjoy the day -- worth every penny! Christophe--- wow! OUR VIDEO WAS INSANE. We both have watched it 1,000 times, legit will probably watch it again today. It perfectly captured the day and we are so grateful to have this forever. Our photos were beautiful as well and we could not be more pleased. He is a blast to work with and legit won't let one good photo opportunity go missed. Truthfully at one point I had said "do we have to take more photos" and thank god he kindly said "just a couple more" because of course, I love all the shots and am so happy to have them. Their team overall is kind, helpful, and added a fun vibe to the day. You won't regret using them, promise.

fabulous logistics expert, so efficient!-- and Christophe is discreet... we never saw him at the wedding or reception but we KNOW our photo and video will be exceptional, because he has proven himself time and time again to be a gifted, skilled photographer and videographer who will sensitively, lovingly create for you.
