    I was a bridesmaid in a wedding back in September. The Draw Near Films team was amazing! They took were the photographers and videographers for the wedding. The team was pleasant, professional and worked really well together. They operated seamlessly during the ceremony and reception. They captured such lovely photos! They were very professional and came prepared with proper equipment such as lighting, hand held cameras etc. I would definitely hire them for an upcoming event if needed!

    I had an exceptional experience working with Draw Near Films for my business anniversary shoot. Their communication style was incredibly responsive, and they were amazing to work with - both professional and down-to-earth. The quality of their work was outstanding, with great attention to detail and a clear effort to listen to and bring my vision to life. Moises and Jessica provided excellent direction throughout the process, and the final video exceeded my expectations, perfectly capturing the special moments of the day. I highly recommend Draw Near Films to any vendor or couple looking for a talented and dedicated videography and photography team.

    We had the absolute best experience for both our engagement and wedding photos! From the very beginning, their communication was top-notch… always prompt, clear, and professional. They made us feel so comfortable during our shoot, which really brought out our natural smiles and emotions. The quality of the photos completely blew us away, every moment was captured beautifully. They truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and it showed in every pic. We couldn’t be happier with the memories they’ve given us and would recommend them a thousand times over

    Words cannot express how grateful I am to have met Moises and Jessica and their beautiful daughter. They made the whole photographic experience so carefree and easy going. Their directions were clear and the communication was wonderful the entire time from the point of deciding what package we wanted, to way after the session was concluded. There was nothing but smiles, professionalism, and great energy from them. I am so blessed to have been able to work with them for our elopement and hope to see them again in the future! May god continue to bless their family and business.

Thank you for your kind blessing over our family and business. We hope to cross paths again in the future! With love, Moises, Jessica & our little one
