Amazing People and An Amazing Video

I would recommend anyone who is looking for a video of their special day to greatly consider Charles Lauren Films. They did my wedding, my brothers, and my sisters wedding and they manages to perfectly encapsulate each of our weddings in their own special way. David and Kelsey were a breeze to work with, very professional and were everything we could have asked for on our wedding day.

It was a pleasure to have Kelsey and David as our wedding videographers. They are so sweet, professional, and have been extraordinarily accommodating from the start, working with us to customize a package that fit our vision. They were a seamless part of our day -- both well-prepared to film the important traditional events and with the instinctive timing to capture the unexpected, unplanned personal moments -- all while being discreet and respectful. My (now) husband kept remarking that he was so glad that Kelsey was with him and the rest of the groomsmen while they were getting ready in the moments before our "first look." She was informative, thoughtful and helped the guys stick to the all-important timeline. A week after the wedding they already put together a fantastic short trailer filled with all of the highlights! We can't wait to see the extended cut!

Booking Charles Lauren Films was hands down the best decision my husband and I made for our wedding. They are a really sweet couple and clearly love their work, and have so much experience and creativity to share. Throughout the wedding planning process, we kept in touch with Kelsey and David. Each time we had a question, request, or wanted to share a detail about our wedding, they were responsive, extremely organized and really positive. We had some tricky details including two ceremonies to capture (one at church and one at the reception venue) and they were great about coordinating with us to make sure to capture everything we wanted.

The day of the wedding, their infectious energy and hard working ethic was so impressive to everyone at my wedding. They worked well with all of our vendors too, particularly our photographer and his assistants, and they coordinated shots very well together.

We are a few weeks out from our wedding and Kelsey and David sent us a highlights video of our wedding. It completely captures everything we asked for from the tone and spirit of the video, to the content, and music soundtrack. Their editing skills are superb and everyone we have shared the video with has commented on how much it captures the emotions of the wedding day so well and that the video just radiates pure joy and brings smiles to everyone's faces. We can't wait to see the long video which we have also ordered as a part of our package with them. Book Kelsey and David, they are extremely talented and wonderful to work with!

Charles Lauren Films were amazing! I would highly recommend them. I hired them for my daughter's wedding at Descanso Gardens and they put together a beautiful video. They were there early and video taped the still photographer taking photos, the guests coming in, and the musicians playing. I was very impressed and would highly recommend them to everyone!!

I just want to start off by saying thank you so much to David and Kelsey for their wonderful services on our wedding day. They did such a beautiful job. They not only were professional and great at what they did but they also showed up on time even early. They arrived about 15 minutes early and even worked 15 minutes over scheduled time. My party wasn't the easiest party to work with because we had such a large wedding party and the event was open bar so within an hour all our guests were close to drunk but they managed through the night perfectly and captured all our special moments. I cant thank them enough for their professional service and their kindness. We cant wait to see our wedding video. I am sure it will look absolutely beautiful. Thank you again for your amazing work, we hope to work with you again in the near future.

Charles Lauren Films is an amazing vendor! They are professional and talented! My husband is very picky when it comes to anything film related---this company exceeded his expectations and now that our wedding is over we can cherish the video they made for us. Every time we show it people are blow away by how awesome it is! We also had them do a love story video to play at our wedding. It was wonderful and they even worked with us to get it perfect! I love this company!

Charles Lauren Films were simply AMAZING!!!! My husband and I can't say enough great things about them! They are a husband and wife team who are warm, creative and have a true passion for film. My husband and I had a big wedding and video was very important to us. We visited a ton of videographers and just didn't feel that WOW factor until we met with them. Their work is simply amazing. Our wedding was extremely detailed and they captured EVERYTHING. From the napkins to the rose pedals..to the signage...no detail went unnoticed. Not to mention it was approximately a 15 hour day!!

Kelsey and David did an amazing job editing our video as well and truly capturing ""our story" through film. Not sure how they were able to condense such a long day and make it a movie to remember..but they did! We continue to watch the video over and over again and it's definitely a hit at our parties (even over a year later).

Charles Lauren Films surpassed our expectations. If you are looking for the best in the business. Go with them.

Hands down, the best wedding videographers around. Not only are Kelsey and David the sweetest couple, but they are amazing at their work. Sound was really important to us in our video. We had seen so many wedding videos that just showed special moments, but to us that is what photography is for. They listened to our requests and made a spectacular video that will allow us to relive that special day for the rest of our lives. The video captured the wedding day perfectly, they captured every detail. They were 100% professional and were great in communication before the big day. On the actual day, they were not "in the way" at all. I hardly even knew they were there capturing some of the best footage ever! I would highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I was the day of coordinator for Dyan and Adams wedding at the Terrenea Resort and had the opportunity to work with Kelsey and David. They are absolutely fabulous. Not only do they work hard, they are just lovely people. You definitely can see the passion they have for their craft and the energy that is poured into their work. They really care about their couples. You can really see this in their work. The results are amazing. They are worth every penny.

Charles Lauren Films is an exceptional videography company! As a photographer I think it is extremely important for all vendors to work together to help make your day the best that it can be and I must say not only do they excel in their field, producing high quality, artistic, and inspirational films that truly capture the moments and emotion in each wedding, but they are also true professionals and a sheer delight to be around. I truly enjoyed working with them and feel like they would make a fantastic addition to any wedding. ~ Austin @ A. O'Brien Photography
