Fantastic wedding videographer!

Brendan was great to work with and was very kind and professional. He captured so many great moments from our wedding, highlighted everything that we had asked for, and edited our wedding into a masterpiece! He worked in tandem with our photographer and made us feel relaxed during all of the shots. Extremely happy that we had him capture our special day!

A must have!

Brendan was amazing! My husband and I were hesitant at first to hire a videographer as we were trying to stay below budget but then we found Reiss Film and decided to go for it! And he was reasonably priced which was a bonus! But seriously it was definitely worth every penny!! Brendan captured every little detail of our wedding so perfectly! He was able to get moments that my husband and I didn’t catch on the day. He captured even more than what our photographer could get. He shot from multiple angles which I don’t even know how he accomplished because it was only himself on the day of! He was very professional, flexible, organized, and kept us updated every step of the process. We could not stop smiling and crying when we received our two beautiful wedding videos! We cannot wait to show our families, future children, and grandchildren one day. If you are ever unsure about hiring a videographer, just do it! We are eternally grateful for Brendan!

The Best Videographer!

Brendan was wonderful from start to finish. The videos that he made for us, are absolutely incredible, and are exactly what we were hoping for. He was able to capture the emotions and beauty of the day perfectly. We love the short form video to share with friends and the long form video to be able to save and rewatch as the years go by. His professionalism, experience, song choice and eye for editing all all amazing. Could not imagine a more perfect wedding video, or videographer.

A Master of His Craft

I need more than 5 stars!!! Brendan exceeded the highest possible rating in every category. He has true gift and, simply put, is a master of his craft. I desperately wanted a videographer for my wedding day, and was having a difficult time justifying the cost for just a short clip. Not only was Brendan's rate better than ANY competitors, but he also provided short form AND long form films, in addition to expertly utilizing a drone for footage (the latter of which both were listed as additional costs with other videographers I had researched). Finally, value that justified my overwhelming need for video of my wedding day, and quality that stood out above all the others. Beyond that, there was instant chemistry with Brendan, just through emails. He is such a genuine, kind, warm, professional person who was truly the most thoughtful, responsive, flexible, and supportive to work with. I found Brendan through my maid of honor, whose wedding I was in, and which Brendan filmed. I was stunned by his work after seeing her video, and couldn't believe I was going to be able to have one of my own. Between all the encouraging communication via email, and a super comprehensive phone call with him a couple weeks before the wedding, Brendan addressed every single detail in advance. He covered every base and asked all the pertinent questions to ensure he was equipped to capture our wedding day in exactly the way we wanted. He was so flexible, and so incredible responsive. I wasn't at all surprised to witness how refined his process was and we felt that we were in the most capable hands on our wedding day. Brendan was an integral and seamless part of our day, and instantly found an easy chemistry with our photographer, too. I know these are professionals who know what they're doing, but it really astounded me how organically Brendan executed his film coverage alongside another person capturing the footage through a different medium. Brendan legitimately felt like a friend on our wedding day, even though we had never officially met in person. I cannot emphasize enough how important this factor was, because the ease he invoked in us and the effortlessness with which he guided us gave just as much to our film as did his keen eye and detailed precision. I simply do not have words for how extraordinary our wedding film is, my friends are describing it as, "a fairytale wedding straight out of Vogue"! Brendan made my dreams come true, as a bride. It was of deep importance to me to capture the magical moments of the day that I knew would be a blur, no matter how present I was, and what he gave us is so much more than I ever even could have imagined. It's our love story, told to us in the most beautiful language. This art form is exquisite in and of itself, but the fact that it's OURS and it captures OUR wedding day is almost too good to be true. The way it was all put together had me barely able to breathe watching it, and I cry happy tears every time. I feel so incredibly blessed to have this amazing record of our magical wedding day to relive with my husband, share with our loved ones, and one day watch with our future children. This film is the most sacred gift that will keep giving for the rest of our lives. Take it from me and be sure you opt for wedding videography, and please don't just hire any videographer, hire Reiss Films. You will thank your lucky stars every day that you did. Brendan, you're just wonderful! We are so thankful.

The best souvenir of our wedding day!

We hadn’t considered organizing a wedding video as we had found a fantastic photographer who we thought would give us the best pictures as memories of our big day. The wedding video was an unexpected addition and words cannot say how delighted we were with it.

Brendan instinctively knew the best moments to capture and we could not believe how well the whole thing was put together with our music choices, and even better ones of his own, with his creativity. It really recreated the day better than we even remembered! We realized what a big mistake we would have made not getting a video. It honestly is the best souvenir we have of our beautiful wedding and we will never get tired of watching it."

Outstanding Wedding Videographer, A+

Brendan Reiss filmed our beautiful Sonoma Valley wedding in June, 2017. He was a consummate professional, and truly went above and beyond to capture the magic of our day on film. It was clear that he brought with him years of experience. Most of the time he and his crew were nearly invisible, quietly working to capture a variety of shots, angles and scenes that we weren't aware had even happened until weeks later, when we were finally able to see his finished product. And a few times he was more directly engaged, asking my wife and I to move to a particular spot, walk from A to B, through some beam of sunlight, or past some beautiful backdrop, etc. At one point he even helped the photography crew frame some very nice stills that they otherwise would not have caught. He was extremely professional, prompt, and most importantly, delivered a video that was truly amazing. He exceeded our expectations and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a videographer for their big day.

Best decision we made!

We made a last minute decision to find a videographer for our wedding and we were able to find Brendan! We only gave him 2 weeks notice and had never met him as we were traveling from out of state. The wedding video completely exceeded our expectations and the highlight video created by Brendan perfectly captured our wedding day which we are forever grateful for. I wish he lived in our state so we could have all of our friends and family use him!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
