Dream crew

Okay, if you’re planning a wedding and care deeply about the vibe, the aesthetic, and not feeling like you’re being hunted by a film crew, stop scrolling and book David right now. When we decided to do an intimate celebration at Sea Ranch, we knew we wanted something that matched the brutalist-meets-coastal mood—mid-century architecture, wild Pacific fog, and pure unscripted emotion. We were honestly terrified of ending up with one of those super cheesy, over-posed wedding videos. David completely understood the vision from our very first call and made us feel so understood and grounded throughout the entire process.
On the day of, David was an absolute dream to have around. He has this incredible, almost invisible presence where he just floats through the space, capturing the most insane candid moments without ever ruining the flow or asking us to do weird staged walks. He worked so seamlessly with our planner and photographer—it literally felt like having another good friend hanging out with us in the coastal pines. He brought such a warm, reassuring energy to the chaos of getting ready, which kept both of our anxieties at zero.

When we opened the edit, we both legit burst into tears. The way he handled the lighting out on the bluff at dusk—capturing the mist rolling through the cypress trees, the quiet glances during our vows, and the chaotic energy of our late-night dinner—was breathtaking. It didn't look like a generic wedding recap; it looked like an indie film that belonged at A24 or Sundance. He managed to weave together the quiet luxury of the location with the raw, genuine heart of our community in a way that felt 100% us.

Also, can we talk about the turnaround time?! We had a stunning vertical cut ready for our socials in just a couple of days, and the full film arrived so much faster than we expected. Our friends and family haven't stopped texting us about how insanely good it is. David is an absolute master of his craft, and hiring Nice Shot Films was hand-down the best investment we made for our wedding. 10/10, no notes!

Couldn't Be Happier

David is literally the best! I am so happy we decided to book him for our wedding in Sonoma. We got the videos back quickly, and they are absolutely amazing! We are crying looking back at them. David was also super easy to work with, and having him with me the whole day was really fun. Highly recommend David - you will not regret it!

The best videographer!

David is truly the best videographer. We are so happy we hired him for our wedding this past July. He was responsive before the wedding and always professional. On the day of our wedding, he knew exactly which shots were best for our location and he was flexible with any additional footage we wanted. He communicated well with the 2nd videographer he brought with him and worked so well with our photographer. He has an excellent eye. He talked with us about music choices for the video and was very open to what we wanted included in the video. We get so many compliments on our wedding videos whenever we show it to anyone. We would highly recommend David to anyone looking for the best videographer!

Incredible videographer - joy to work with!

Our experience with David from Nice Shot Films was nothing short of amazing. We hired him for our wedding in Carmel Valley in May 2023, while it was his first time at the venue he effortless got amazing shots. Working seamlessly with our photographer, he exuded professionalism and teamwork, making it seem like they were longtime collaborators. David not only embraced our ideas but elevated them creatively, such as orchestrating a unique tunnel formation with our bridal party after our basketball-themed introductions.

In the face of unforeseen challenges during our wedding, David's commitment shone through as he graciously stayed extra time, ensuring our wedding video captured every special moment. Remarkably, he delivered the final product the next week, allowing us to relive the magic instantly.

David's infectious smile and positive energy made the entire process a joy. His enthusiasm and talent translated into an incredible wedding video that exceeded our expectations. We wholeheartedly recommend Nice Shot Films for anyone seeking a videographer who not only captures moments but enhances them with creativity and dedication.

Exceptional (and fun!) videographer

David and the Nice Shot team were so incredible for our wedding day! They captured the important moments for us across multiple events and were genuinely a pleasure to be around! We were so impressed with how they seamlessly coordinated with a larger set of vendors they had never worked with before. We wouldn’t have wanted anyone else there with us on the big day!

And icing on the cake was how incredibly prompt they were on turning edits for us! We had a social video clip to share within days and the entire wedding footage within weeks - shocking!

Best in the business

David is the best in the business. From the beginning, he was communicative and 100% supportive. On the day of the wedding, he continued to make us feel supported, ensured we were having the best day, and captured the sweetest moments that my husband and I will cherish for a lifetime. He is not only a great videographer, but also an amazing person that added to our magical day. We received our wedding videos not long ago and they are so cinematically beautiful. Not a detail was missed from when we said I do to our loved ones’ heartwarming toasts to dancing the night away. We love reliving our day and it is all thanks to David. He went above and beyond our expectations. We can’t recommend Nice Shot films enough. We are eternally grateful!

One of the best choices we've ever made.

If you're trying to pick a videographer for your wedding, hire David. You will not regret it. David was with us all through our wedding day. When I say this man has an eye for art, I truly mean every word. I barely saw him on the day of the wedding after our first look, but then when we watched the video I couldn't believe all the incredible content he shot. He's a master at what he does. He knows how to seek and capture those real emotions and find the moments that matter. The video he made for us made us laugh, cry, and smile, and it will be cherished by us for the rest of our lives. Thank you, David!

Beautiful Wedding Coverage

I will open with we got nothing but compliments about our highlight video. Things like we were told it really captured the day, it was beautifully done, it’s so nice, etc. David was a pleasure to work with and so easy to get along with. He worked well with all of our vendors--especially our photographer which we thought was really important. We had talked to multiple videographers, and not only does Nice Shot produce high quality, luxury wedding films, but we felt like we were getting the most bang for our buck compared to other videographers. We highly recommend David and his team to anyone getting married.

stunning videos delivered with warmth and kindness

I got married last month, and David was our amazing videographer. He is so friendly and easy to relax around, which is so important for your wedding! I'm thrilled with the videos he returned -- and my family who couldn't make it especially loved having the cinematic trailer which made them feel like they understand how the day had gone. It's really nice to have high quality copies of the speeches. I liked the cinematic trailer so much I'm working with David to get a slightly longer cut currently. The only thing I wish was different was I wish I had gone for the package with two people filming instead of one!

Amazing Videos!

David was amazing to work with. We chose him based on the quality of his prior videos and he did not disappoint. It was just him, but he brought multiple cameras and even had a drone so was able to capture many angles. He worked seamlessly with the separate photographer we had hired and was all around such a friendly presence during our wedding. We had a vertical social media cut back in just a week and the final highlight video, full ceremony video, and all the raw footage in under a month! We were blown away. The audio and editing quality was amazing. I am so excited for having these videos to cherish forever and am so glad we chose Niceshot to part of our special day. 100% recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
