Phenomenal, Reliable, Special

My husband and I just received our wedding video yesterday evening and we have been blown away. The quality of the video was incredible and checked every box possible for us. It highlighted every expectation we had and more! I cried watching the whole video. We selected the moments package which is an 1 hour long video. We wanted this because we watched to re-watch the footage just like we were reliving the day and to show our future kids one day. The video allowed us to completely relive each moment of our day and it was truly the best. I cried the whole time haha. I would book them over and over again. They were responsive, personal, and we did not have to worry about not receiving or footage late. Thank you

My wife Janice and I used Estrella Films to film our August 27, 2017 wedding in Pebble Beach, California. David and Colleen Estrella work with many Wedding Planners and they worked with our Wedding Planner, Mandie Nack, from A Sparkling Event. All we can say is that Estrella films did an outstanding job on filming our wedding. The final product (you can view the final product on the Estrella Films website! https://www.facebook.com/estrellafilmsmonterey/?hc_ref=ARTLQ5wZ9z7xQjtaWvyrapRUAPB4XyzOA8GtLDxopmFnCOMjr2gDSRc8IPAaYhrnlOg&fref=nf ) is exquisite, beautiful and touching. David and Colleen, and their team, have a talent of not only filming the event, but the atmospherics, the feeling and emotions of that special day, as well as giving the viewer an emotional connection to our Wedding Day. We posted the final video on our FB site as well and time after time, heard from friends and family, how touched they were by watching the film, and many cried. Even folks who couldn't attend the wedding itself felt like they were transported to that day and could feel the love that everyone felt. Estrella Films was easy to work with. They took the time to understand our story, and how we wanted to convey that story on film. Estrella Films did an incredible job! We were blown away by the final product. We fell in love with the film and have watched it over and over again and have heard from some friends that they have done the same. My wife and I would highly recommend Estrella Films for any special occasion that you want filmed. This organization is professional, caring, personal and always there for you. You are not just another client with them, you are a human being and they work hard to capture whatever special day you are celebrating on film, in a personal, and emotional way. Highly recommended!!

My husband and I received our wedding video last night and are absolutely blown away at the work David and Colleen did. Their work truly speaks for itself. They really captured everything we wanted. We knew it was going to be good, but we had no idea it would be this good. From the first time we contacted Estrella Films, we received first class service. They were quick to respond to our emails and answer all of our questions. We were coming into Big Sur from out of town so we had to Skype David in order to "meet" him. As soon as we got off of that call we knew we had made the right decision. David met us a few days before our wedding to film us hiking on the coast of Big Sur. He chose the perfect location to get these shots. We immediately felt at ease and like we had known David for a long time. His personality makes it very easy to be yourself on camera. On the day of our wedding David gave us the perfect direction to get all of the shots he needed. It honestly felt like he was a part of our family on that day. It's important to note that on our wedding day we had an issue with the audio during our interviews (which was one of the most important parts of the video)-- this was not the fault of Estrella Films. David and Colleen worked diligently to recover the audio and fixed the problem. They also were able to incorporate some of the drone footage we shot during our trip which really rounded out our video. We are so happy we decided to work with Estrella Films. They exceeded our expectations and were awesome to work with. Thank you again for giving us the gift of reliving the happiest day of our lives!

I can't give Estrella Films enough praise for the beautiful work that they do. Yes, they are 100% professional and deliver in a timely manner, but that's not even what stands out most for us about Dave and Colleen. What blew us away after seeing our wedding video was their ability to reflect our personalities and love for eachother in the video. It was sweet, romantic, beautiful, authentic, joyful, emotional, and full of our most cherished memories.
I would say to anyone who is considering getting a videographer for their wedding, absolutley hire Estrella Films for the job. You won't regret it and you'll want to watch your wedding video over and over and over again!

To say Estrella Films did an amazing job with our wedding video is an understatement! I never realized how important it was to have a videographer until I watched my wedding on film! They made a believer out of me! All those same emotions from the big day resurfaced and I got to relive the best day of my life!! It's overwhelming what Estrella Films did for us! They went above and beyond any job description! They were so patient, kind, and professional! They were there before I was (bride) and walked around the whole venue capturing the most beautiful shots! I would recommend everyone to go with Estrella Films and not miss out on them capturing the most special moments of your big day!

Colleen and Dave did an absolutely amazing job on our wedding videography! We have known both of them for years and they were guests before videographers at our wedding. I asked Colleen for suggestions on videographers because she's a bridal expert like none other and she said that she and Dave were starting a business, that was the best news! Because we know these two there was a level of comfort that was present that made having people follow us around with cameras less intrusive feeling but I also know that these two would make any couple feel at ease because they both exude peace and creative energy. Now that things are up and going officially, I would absolutely recommend Estella Films to couples looking for a fun and creative videography experience.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
