Amazing experience, truly professional!

We had an amazing experience working with ByDesign Films for our wedding. They were extremely easy to work with and responded quickly with any questions that we had. Their team of photographers and videographers were very professional and fun to work with during the day of the wedding! Our photographers/videographers were full of energy, friendly, and helpful in directing us in getting incredible photos. We were very happy with the final photos we received back and highly recommend ByDesign to anybody looking for photography/videography for weddings.

Fantastic, 100% recommend to others!

byDesign Films was a fantastic choice for our engagement and wedding pictures! From initial booking to receiving our final pictures we had an awesome customer support team who would quickly answer our questions. There was also a photo timeline tool to help us build out what photos were important to us, and the timing of photography throughout our wedding day. This photo timeline ultimately ended up being our wedding day timeline, so that was awesome! Would definitely recommend!

Las Vegas Wedding

We got married in Las Vegas and the company was very flexible in communicating with us since we decided to have a destination wedding. The photos came out perfectly and Jon was an amazing photographer! So many great ideas and could not have been any better ❤️

Stephanie was amazing!

Stephanie was beyond amazing to work with! Highly recommend and I’m sure we’ll be hiring her for future photography sessions. She made us feel so comfortable during the engagement shoot and on our wedding day. It was great to work with her at the engagement shoot to get a feel for her style before the big day. We aren’t huge into social media and a ton of pictures but she calmed our nerves and walked us through the entire photo shoot with ease. I honestly can’t recommend Stephanie enough! So amazing!!

Excellent Experience!

We were beyond pleased with our photographers and cinematographers. We had a small team of professionals who captured our day and made us feel like celebrities, and it was very easy to set up through ByDesigns. You're getting some real talent when you go through them!

Beyond our expectations!

I had no idea how to look for a wedding photographer! I started with price, and I thought byDesign was very reasonable. Our experience from start (meeting with Nora) to finish, was amazing. Since Nora couldn't take the pictures (we loved her,) she matched us with Maryana and Leland, who were professional, kind, creative with their photo spots and very direct with their instruction, which we so appreciated. And then...the pictures came (in a very timely manner I might add,) and WOW...just wow..they are BEAUTIFUL! I also feel like Maryana and Leland did not miss any opportunities to take important pictures. Thank you byDesign for creating such a lasting memory for us!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

By Design Films is top notch! My clients who choose to have By Design films film their event have been over the moon when the final product arrives. The By Design crew always arrives on time, with forethought of the timeline and offers wonderful suggestions to make the day go smoothly. Their work is impeccable - anyone can shoot footage of an event, but By Design captures the perfect moments, with the best lighting and angels which add to the final cut! Their videos are so touching, truly a a piece of art, I find myself crying as if I was watching my own wedding. Professional, talented, and super awesome to collaborate with!
