    The best investment!!

    Investing in Jacob and his team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! We booked 8 hours of photography and videography and had the pleasure of working with Myong and KC. They truly captured the essence of what we wanted and made everything feel so natural and smooth. They stayed close by us the entire time and had no problems pivoting depending on who was around us and wanted to take pictures with us, all while ensuring we had time to get all the key shots for our wedding film. They made the day so much fun! Most importantly, the final product of our photos and wedding film was absolutely stunning and everything we wanted and more. We could go on and on about how much we loved working with this team. We cannot thank them enough!!

    Beautiful and fast work!!

    WOW! We were blown away by SD Wedding Films. From the wedding day to receiving our film and almost 5 hours of raw footage, we were in awe of how intentionally they worked to capture our love. Our wedding day was beautifully captured in our film, and they incorporated everything we wanted!! We were able to reflect our desires in the pre-wedding form they sent, and they followed it to a T. We recently received our wedding film just 2 weeks from our wedding day!! What a gift. We are so thankful for the staff's talents and will recommend SD Wedding Films to everyone we know. SO thankful for Jacob and his team since the moment we booked with them.

    Our perfect day PERFECTLY captured!!!

    SD Wedding films did an INCREDIBLE job with our wedding video! For the price, we couldn’t believe how well it was put together. We both literally cried when we saw the final product!! Not only was the final video amazing, but the day of the wedding their team fit so seamlessly into our day and actually helped to keep us organized on and on pace with our timeline. They are seriously THE best and if you need a sign to commit to working with them, let this be it!! Thank you again, Jacob and team!!

    Excellence!

    Zack was simply amazing! The video he created for my daughter and her husband, is perfection. I'm so grateful for his professionalism on the wedding day, but also his creativity! I would recommend him to anyone!
