Amazing Videographer!

As we were looking for a videographer that was the best in the industry we often heard about Russel John Films. He was specifically recommended by a few family members where he did a phenomenal job. Russel and his team were super down to earth, easy to work with and matched the vision we desired for our special day. Knowing his quality of work it was a no brainer to fly him out from San Diego to San Francisco. We have already received our Instagram Teaser and it was edited to perfection and captured all the elements of our wedding. Communication was excellent throughout the process and also was receptive to all feedback. If you’re looking for the best, do yourself a favor and hire Russel John Films.

Thank you!

Russell and Mia were awesome to work with on our wedding day! Russell was the lead shooter and he was a calm presence who did an excellent job of making it feel like no one was there filming you. My husband and I are a bit camera shy so this was really nice :) We are so excited to see our teaser video and to have access to all of our footage to experience our big day in the future again. I’m confident that all of the shots Russell and Mia got will turn out amazing!

Absolutely Amazing

We cannot say enough amazing things about Russ and his team. Russ is truly a magician behind the camera, and a wonderful person in front. He is so warm-hearted and genuinely wants to capture special moments of your special day, and create a beautiful film for you. Even in stressful moments during the wedding celebrations, Russ was there to offer a smile and a kind word, and we were absolutely blown away by his work. The highlight video somehow made us smile, cry, and laugh, and managed to capture beautiful moments, some of which we did not even know were happening on the day of. Our family and friends universally, absolutely loved the videos he made. We truly cannot recommend him enough. Russ was also extremely flexible and accommodating with unexpected things that came up. HIGHLY recommend hiring them for your wedding!

Russell and his crew are amazing to work with. They move around seamlessly on wedding day. However, when you see their creation you are blown away with how and when they captured their clips. I've officiated close to 600 weddings and I would say Russel John Films is one of the best out there. You will not be disappointed with the final results of how they captured you special day. They are very easy to work with and carry themselves so professionally. I highly recommend Russell John Films.
