About

Riviera Productions grew out of a passion for telling real, personal stories. There are so many little moments in life that go by too fast - we see and capture them so those memories not only last, but are there to be replayed any time you want to remember, and smile.

Our team consists of a small group who share a passion for film and storytelling.. We have over 25 years combined experience in video production, including everything from feature documentaries to cutting-edge surgical films.

We love love! A wedding is not just a celebration of one of your biggest days - there are countless moments between you and your family, guests and friends that help tell your story. Every wedding is different, and we love to capture that romance, joy, love, friendship and celebration every time we film. We are passionate about capturing those feelings and giving you the chance to see, and hear, and feel each moment of your wedding again and again.

We consistently hear one thing from every couple we have filmed - that the day goes by "in a whirlwind." When you see the film we created, you get to see the moments across the room that you missed, or experience again a moment that went by in a flash. That feedback is always our biggest thrill and compliment.

So, get in touch. We want to hear your story.

Jennie is the no- frills videographer you need at your wedding!

Jennie was absolutely fantastic! We hired her as our wedding videographer and she did an amazing job capturing our ceremony, speeches and first dance which is exactly what we wanted.
Communication with her was super easy and smooth and we knew we had to hire her right away! On our wedding day, she was there on time and had excellent energy! we loved the fact that she was super discrete while filming and still got amazing shots!
Oh.. also.. the turnaround was SO fast! We got our video 2 days after the wedding and it was everything that we wanted
Thank you for everything Jennie!

Top Quality Video Team

Jennie and her team were amazing to work with! As a wedding planner and coordinator it's essential to have the right team by you on the wedding day. Jennie took everything from the lighting and sound to timeline seriously. You can tell she truly cares about her couples and the team she has built around her. She worked well with all other vendors involved to ensure the day went smoothly. I can't wait for my next wedding where she and her team will be shooting!

Jennie was awesome and great video for a great price!

Jennie was awesome to work with from the start. She was so kind and helpful in the planning process. She was tentative, friendly, reasonably priced, she even gave us a ride to our wedding destination due to we were short on time. I mean if that’s not great service I don’t know what is! The day we were so excited and the video was great! She made us and our guests feel so comfortable on our wedding day.

We are so lucky to have had Riviera Productions as our videographers on our wedding day. I was a very anxious bride and the very moment Jennie showed up in our hotel room and introduced herself, I immediately felt her positive energy and reassuring and calming presence. She had an amazing ability to be both present and engaging as well as was able to blend into the background and capture our most memorable moments between friends, family, loved ones, and myself and my husband. She and her assistant Raul did such a spectacular job documenting every moment of a day that went so quickly we didn’t even realize! So many of my wedding guests commented on how wonderful the videographers were, I cannot recommend their services enough!! We received the final product in an incredibly timely manner, and Jennie made sure to proactively communicate proactively the entire time she was editing with a timeline of when we could expect everything. She is so considerate, it is truly incredible. We watch the video over and over it is so beautiful and so personalized it took our breath away and continues to do so. We cannot stress enough how highly we would recommend booking Riviera Productions in order to capture the most magical moments of your entire life! We are beyond thankful and so incredibly happy with our wedding video. Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!!!

I contacted Riviera Productions in hopes of creating a promotional video for my newborn portrait studio. They were extremely professional in their correspondence, arrived early to the shoot and worked well with all the other vendors I had in my small space. Jennie was calm (totally required around my clients...newborn babies!) and gave me quite and concise directions throughout the shoot. Later was the hardest part for me...the audio voice over! Jennie helped me walk through my script and get the general idea down, but then encouraged me to just talk. This took time, and she was patient. Through her direction and patience and willingness to make my edits in post production, I ended up with the perfect promotional video for my studio and I'm already seeing an increase in requests just one week after posting it to my website!

Riviera productions were great. They captured all of the special moments, hilarious ones that I had no idea happened and the sweet messages from our moms. Each moment captured was priceless and now we get to view our special day whenever we want. I loved how I didn't even know the cameras were on. Very professional. Super pleased with the outcome.

We had such a great experience with Riviera Productions. Jennie and Heather recorded our wedding ceremony and Jennie stuck around for the rest of the evening to record the reception. We were so happy to work with Jennie. She is such a sweet individual; so nice and cheerful. It was a pleasure having her at our wedding. She was so sweet to offer to stay a few more minutes extra to get the cake cutting footage before she left. What I loved most about her was her smile that never left her face. And then of course, there was the video of our wedding. Beautiful! So raw and natural, no crazy editing or funky songs.
With our busy schedules, it took us a long time to get our music files and edit requests in order. Jennie was so patient and understanding through out this time. She incorporated songs that were meaningful to us. Edited the video paying close attention to our request, and at the end we are left with a lovely recording of our wedding that captured moments that we missed and reminds us of the great moments we created. We could not be happier with the turn out. So here is a big THANK YOU to Jennie and her team for all their hard work and dedication.

We are so glad that we hired Riviera Productions to film our wedding! Our photographer did an amazing job, but pictures can only go so far to capture the day. We are so grateful that we have everything captured on video by professionals who love what they do, and really know how to shoot weddings.

Jennie and Heather were stealthy, getting the best possible angles without getting in the way. They are both sweet, lovely people who bring a very positive energy to their work. This was very important to us. Our ceremony and reception were at a remote lake with only our closest friends and family there. We wanted everyone there to feel at home, surrounded by a community of love. Having video professionals who know how to get the best shots AND make everyone feel comfortable in front of the cameras was key. We could not have hired a better team.

Riviera covered our wedding beautifully. They allowed us to be free without worrying where the cameras were while still being able to grab beautiful shots.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Jennie and Heather are both truly a delight to work alongside. Sometimes having a videographer at a wedding can be frustrating but Jennie and Heather are true team players and make sure that all teams get the shots they need effortlessly. I look forward to shooting more weddings with these two talented ladies!

Every time I have the privilege to work with Jennie and Heather it is always a joyful, easy experience. As a wedding planner, I relate to the care and passion that they bring to their work. I appreciate that they are present for every detail but unobtrusive, and always flexible with timing and last minute changes. They are true professionals and the finished product speaks for itself. Their videos tell beautiful stories and are true keepsakes to be enjoyed for a lifetime. There's no better video team!
