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.

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 ❤️

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!
