    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

    Ryan, thank you so much for your kind words! It truly meant a lot to be part of your surprise proposal! We’re so glad you felt cared for and that you’re happy with the photos—we loved every minute of working with you. Wishing you and your fiancée all the joy as you step into this exciting new season together. And just a warm little reminder: the full amount from your proposal session can be applied toward a formal engagement shoot or your wedding photos should you choose to have us by your side again—we’d be honored. - Moises and Jessica.


Typically, couples book us about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
Sometimes, we'll bring one or more assistant photographers depending on the size of your wedding. For all-inclusive photo and video coverage, we are usually a team of four. Don’t worry, this won’t cost you extra.
Absolutely. While the total number of images depends on the collection you book, all final images will be professionally edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. We provide sneak peek photos within 72 business hours of your wedding day, and your full gallery will be delivered within 30 business days. All images and videos are delivered through your own exclusive digital gallery.
We sure do! Just let us know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and we’ll send that over to them.
