    Zelle & Jerry Olson are a fantastic pair and a perfect videographer company for our wedding celebration. My husband and I could not have chosen a better vendor to put together the most awesome & memorable wedding video; including our complete highlights video and our entire wedding day festivities for the best price. They were so professionalism and so wonderful to work with. They were so outstanding on the day of. They showed up on time and delivered our videos earlier than what we expected. Now we have a wedding video to watch over and over again and share with all our friends and family.

    Thank you again so very much Zelle & Jerry! You guys are amazing! and we absolutely love the beautiful, cute and lovely videos you made for us that sums up our perfect day so wonderfully and so close to what happened on our awesome wedding day.

    Videographer Captures Every Special Moment of a Beautiful Day

    Is it true that "A Picture is Worth 1,000 Words? It is if you have Jerry Dallons Photography and Zelle Olson Studio as the photographer/ videographer team at your wedding.

    This husband-and-wife dynamic duo were wonderful to work with at our daughter's wedding in May 2018 at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum. They and their assistant, Bill, were with us all day -- 10 hours-- taking pictures and video at the Spanish Garden Inn where we dressed, as we walked several blocks on the streets of Santa Barbara to the venue, just prior to and during the ceremony, and afterwards, for the cocktail hour, reception, and dancing. The cameras and video mics were hidden during the ceremony, and they did not disrupt any part of the day, whether it was during the solemnity of the exchange of vows or the fun celebration on the dance floor. Our guests and the vendors told my husband and me how much they enjoyed working with them. We were never aware of Jerry and Zelle doing their magic except during the posed family and bridal party photos.

    And what magic it was!! Our family and friends have raved about the exquisite photos (which we received from Jerry in about 10 days, with some highlight photos available in a week) and the fun video (which we received from Zelle in less than three weeks, with some highlight ones available in one week). Jerry was meticulous in touching up the 600+ photos so the colors and lighting were exactly right, and Zelle's editing of the 26-minute video captured all the important sounds and sights the day.
    Jerry has posted five photos from our daughter's wedding on his website, and each is a gem.

    Their fee was extremely reasonable, and they honored their agreement with us, which was conducted over the phone and by email. My husband and I live in Virginia, the bride and groom live in New York City, and the wedding was in California, so it was only possible for Jerry and Zelle to meet with the bride and groom and his family once about four months before the wedding. They connected right away. I "met" Jerry only over the phone several times during the planning process and then greeted him and Zelle in person the morning of the wedding. Yet, I never doubted my decision to have them photograph and video our only daughter's wedding. During our phone conversations, he fully outlined the services he and Zelle would provide, and boy, did they deliver an amazing product!

    Truly, their magnificent pictures and superlative video are worth more than a mere 1,000 words, which cannot begin to describe the beautiful keepsakes Jerry Dallons and Zelle Olson produced for us of our daughter's wedding. Don't hesitate for a moment to hire this remarkable and personable team.

    When I chose to hire Zelle and Jerry to video our wedding, I went off of reviews and ratings on wedding wire because I didn't know any videographer's on a personal level. Photography and videography is something that was extremely important to me, seeing that weddings go by really quickly and you just possibly can't be in every place at once. Jerry and Zelle seemed to have really great reviews, but as a bride, I was still a little nervous with my decision. When calling Zelle and Jerry, they put me at ease and made me feel extremely comfortable with my decision. They were two of the most professional people that I ever had the chance to meet. Every conversation and every concern was answered in a punctual manner. They wedding day they showed up at a very hectic time, when all of us girls were getting ready and of course running late. Zelle took a minute to talk to me to make sure I was calm. Upon getting the video footage back I was more than happy. The quality of the film was amazing and the sound blew me away. They went over and beyond anything we could have asked for, incorporating every little detail and helping us relive every moment. They even included things we never expected. It was nice to see two people fall in love as much as you did with your wedding. Looking back at the video we laughed the whole time with all the little things we never got to see. I would recommend them to anyone. They by far just gained both of our entire families business. Thanks Zelle and Jerry for videographing our most perfect day and capturing everything our heart desired. We are more than grateful for everything you have both done.

    Zelle and Jerry did an incredible job on our wedding video. They went above and beyond for us before, during and after our wedding. Honestly, when we watched the video it was more then we could have asked for…just beautiful and extremely special. They made sure to get all the moments we missed during the day. Not only is their work amazing, they are wonderful to work with and extremely professional. I know they had several cameras throughout the day, and I never noticed them. Thank you Zelle Productions for a video we will cherish forever! ~Alison and Kevin

    Zelle and Jerry are incredible to work with! I highly recommend Zelle Olson Production. They are very professional and their equipment is top of the line. They went above and beyond my expectations. They used 7 cameras at my wedding, which allowed for a variety of great angles. I barely even noticed they were there because most of the cameras where hidden and out of the way. Furthermore, I got my completed video in less than 3 weeks!! Zelle did a wonderful job putting it together. It is beautiful and is such a special way for my husband and I to remember our wedding day.

    I used the Zelle and Jerry team for my wedding and got such a beautiful video!. I was so happy they were available for my daughter's third birthday party! They have an excellent eye for detai. Everyone should use them for children's birthday parties because, as you know the parents are usually running around crazy managing activities, food, crazy kids, etc. Who thinks or has time to take all the pictures and video that you would really like to have? You never get these moments back if you don't capture them in pictures or video! They truly captured the fun and crazyness of the party! I don't know how they kept up with everyone and got it all recorded! The video was excellent and will be such a wonderful momento to hand down to my daughter.

    Our son's wedding took place outdoors during a strong Santa Ana wind. We were worried about the quality of the sound but it was crystal clear and the clarity of the video was amazing.

    I highly recommend Zelle Olson for her videography services. My bride and I just received our video from our wedding and it looks amazing. Zelle was very responsive before our event and took care of eveything as anticipated during the wedding. Honestly, I didn't even notice her and her team during the wedding but the footage of the ceremony and reception was perfect and had great sound.

    Our video caught all the parts of our wedding that we missed which we really appreciated after the fact. I shopped several videographers and Zelle offered a great value.

    Memories for a lifetime.

    I decided last minute to get a videographer for my wedding and am so glad I did. Zelle was so accommodating and gave me exactly what I wanted- a way to remember a day that goes by so fast. She captured the highlights of the day in a beautiful way. I hardly noticed her presence during my ceremony and reception (a great point for my camera shy groom). Her use of small hidden cameras around the chapel and reception site made sure she captured every angle while letting the day occur naturally.

    Zelle Was great to work with. I appreciated their use of small hidden cameras a discretion during my entire wedding. People hardly noticed they were there and I never felt on the spot - good for me and my camera shy groom. Our video captured the highlights of the day in the perfect length.

    Zelle and Jerry were wonderful to work with. The service and professionalism that we received from them was AWESOME. When we got back the edited videos we were amazed by the outcome. We have been married now for 2 years and we still share the videos that they took. We even recommended them to our friend that got married a year later. They were just as happy as we were.
    If you are getting married or having any special event I would go with this power team. You will not be disappointed.

    Zelle Olson did a fantastic job for our wedding, catching many small and big moments that my wife and I absolutely enjoy every time we play the video back. Their service before, during, and after the big day was wonderful and appreciated, and we would definitely recommend them.

    Zelle and Jerry are amazing at what they do. We hired them and the whole night, we barely even noticed them. They make sure to not ruin your moments by getting in your face and we can't wait to see the end product! Excellent service and super sweet people.

    Zelle Olson productions did an amazing job! They captured the whole day so beautifully and they were very easy to work with. I am still very pleased that we chose this company. We had a great experience with them. I love that we have this memory captured on DVD to share with others for years to come. I highly recommend Zelle Olson Productions.

    Zelle has been a phenomenal artist in so many areas throughout her life. And because she is so talented in many artistic areas, so much more thought and experience goes into her videos. She is a perfectionist with an excellent eye for detail and creativity. She will never turn out a product that isn't excellent. She and Jerry are a super team providing quality, technical detail, customer service/communication, and a top rate finished product. They also are so discreet that you don't even know they are there, yet somehow they truly capture everthing important to reliving your special day.

    o Jerry and Zelle were very easy to work with. We spoke on the phone multiple times and it was obvious they have a lot of experience and industry knowledge. We met them about 6 weeks before the wedding to get to know them and to discuss our timeline for events and our hope for our photographs. They helped give us feedback on everything and always responded quickly. I really appreciated how flexible they were when our timing changed some and how they got to the venue early to be sure they were ready for our photographs (we did individual, couple, and family photographs before the wedding). We (this was also commented by our day-of coordinator, Jennie) barely knew they were there most of the time because they worked efficiently and quietly! They also were efficient with our large family photos (after the ceremony), which we appreciated so we could enjoy the cocktail hour. Finally, we got our edited photos back 3.5 weeks after the wedding, and loved them! They captured both the staged photos we wanted and candid moments! We also love that the high-resolution images are on a site for all our guests to enjoy and be able to download and print anywhere!

    Zelle Olson may have been the best decision when it came to planning our wedding. We knew we wanted videography and knew that it was going to be a cost - but felt we couldn’t replace this with any other option. Still pictures are great...but live video is priceless. Both Zelle and Jerry were accommodating, timely, flexible and reasonable with working within our budget. They even went beyond what our 'package' was which was very much appreciated. The quality of the sound was great and the picture quality turned out pretty good. All in all we are so glad to have hired them and would recommend them to others.
