Amazing service!

Nikki made the entire planning process easy and stress free! During our engagement photos and wedding, Nikkie and the Classic Filmworks team made us feel comfortable - which was so important to us since we are naturally shy people. The quality of our photos and videos were unreal - they were able to capture all of our special moments and deliver us the final product in such a quick turnaround time. We look forward to working with them in the future!

Amazing Videographers

We worked with Classic Filmworks for our wedding in May and we are in love with the videos they produced! The recap video was amazing, but we just watched the full length video and it brought tears to my eyes. They were so professional and kind - we really enjoyed working with this team. I'd definitely recommend checking out Classic Filmworks

Beautiful wedding footage

Nikki and her team at Classic Filmworks did an amazing job capturing my wedding this past April at Twin Oaks Garden Estate. She was very responsive, helpful, and professional via email with any questions I had, and I love that she was already familiar with my venue. The highlight film and full feature film are absolutely stunning! They will be priceless keepsakes that I can enjoy and share with family through the generations. I’m so happy with how everything turned out, and I would definitely recommend Classic Filmworks to anyone in the San Diego or surrounding areas. Thank you so much!!

Amazing, Artistic, Beautiful and Professional

Nikki, Nan and their crew were absolutely amazing! We cant say enough about them. My wife and I created our own DYI wedding. We did a lot of research, we interviewed several vendors and we spent a lot of time. We would like to save you that problem and simply recommend that you stop looking and hire Classic Filmworks with Nikki and Nan. The talent and professionalism and artistic nature of their film was nothing short of perfect. They were extremely easy to communicate with and set up times to meet. They had no problem meeting us at our venue in Fallbrook to survey the site with our wedding planner, caterer, photographer and site manager. We went through the venue working out all the details so that there were no surprises.
The day of the wedding Nikki, Nan and their crew were discrete in their setup and hardly noticeable as they shot their footage. They filmed us from several angles with impeccable timing and sound quality. We really had no idea what to expect, but in the end, to see the final product..... We were blown away! They sent us a quick 5-10 minute teaser which I thought at first was the entire film. I was so excited to see it that I couldn't believe that was our wedding. When we received the entire short film it was absolutely amazing.
My wife insisted on getting a videographer. I didn't believe that we would watch a silly video of people forced to say something nice about the bride and groom while shanghaied into a corner like on the old school wedding videos. I was so wrong. The setup and planning and attention to detail was amazing. The drone footage was spectacular! I didn't once hear it or see it but the footage was awe inspiring. The short film covered everything. They were there for all the right shots and conversations and special moments between my wife and I. The editing kept all the best parts of the speeches and they took out one of our drunken groomsman toast (per request). They even included the full speeches, on the main menu, so that I can show him what a fool he was LOL. Lastly we would like to comment on the fee's. We interviewed 5-6 videographers with price ranges anywhere from $1000-$9000. We didn't have any help financially for the wedding and price was always an issue. Some company's would charge three payments of $3000 and then charge again for transport fees, extra lighting, drones and misc stuff. Classic Filmworks was up front and to the point with no hidden fees. Their fee was very fair, in fact, after seeing the short film, I feel we should owe them money. Nikki and Nan.... sorry but Im all out LOL !
In short, my wife and I are very happy with every aspect of Classic Filmworks. I hope that after reading our review you will be satisfied and trust that you hired the right film crew for your special day.

First, I want to say thank you so much Nan for capturing all the special moments of our wedding day! The highlights video is amazing and all our family and friends love it! I watch all the videos from the highlights to full ceremony to feature film, over and over. Nan is a very talented artist. She and her assistant Nikki worked hard to bring out the best in our wedding. I am not comfortable to be in front of cameras but she made me feel good on my wedding day! I love how she made shooting so fun and all the effects were just incredible! Even the songs match the scenes/ clips. Nan is very professional and I definitely recommend her to every wedding! We are very pleased and feel so lucky finding you. I’ve seen other wedding videos but so far, Classic Filmworks is the best! You will not regret it!

Beautiful video from our wedding! These ladies were wonderful and sooooo easy to work with. I think most people are looking for vendors who won't add more stress to the big day, and they did the opposite! Plus, their work is amazing. I love rewatching different clips from our wedding.

Nan was AMAZING to work with and she absolutely blew us away with her final work product. I can honestly say that you will NOT find anyone better in quality, price, and professionalism. Nan perfectly captured our big day and created the most magical personalized videos--highlight and feature film. I recommend Nan to all of my engaged girlfriends and my recommendation and review here is the same I give them! Originally, my now-husband and I were not going to use a videographer because we were tight on our budget. However, after reconsideration, we knew we couldn't go without a videographer--we were 100% right! After thorough research and multiple emails back and forth, video samples, and a phone call with Nan, we selected Classic Filmworks -- it was the BEST decision ever.

Nan and her team were amazing! We needed a videographer last minute for our wedding this past September and our venue recommended her. Fortunately we booked her the day before our wedding and she was available! From beginning to end, the team was very professional and made my husband I very comfortable. At first I wasn't too sure if I wanted a videographer but I'm so happy with the end results! When we received our wedding highlights, we absolutely were amazed at what a great job and how beautiful the video was put together! I couldn't have asked for a better team to share our special day! If your looking for an amazing team please look no further! Classic Filmworks is by far the best team of videographers. Best video I've ever seen! When I showed family and friends everyone commented on how amazing the footage came out! My husband and I are so lucky and cannot thank Classic Filmworks enough!!! Thank you for making our wedding video so magical!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
