Santa Barbara Wedding Films truly exceeded all expectations and knocked it out of the park. Our wedding video was beautifully executed and allowed us to relive the day once more. George and team were easy to work with and very professional. I absolutely love their work. Highly recommend!

Our family recently had the pleasure of working with Santa Barbara Wedding Films. This experience exceeded our expectations. From the first conversation with George Ortega, communication was friendly, clear, and always promptly answered, essential when planning a once-in-a-lifetime event. He listened to our desired details ensuring us that our requests were not just noted but embraced as essential elements to be included in capturing our son’s wedding day.
The factor that determined our decision to select Santa Barbara Wedding Films was the flexibility and willingness to incorporate our vision for a unique venue and approach to the ceremony. He actively collaborated with us, offering creative ideas while making sure our wishes were the final factor. This approach transformed what could have been a stressful process into a delightful experience, developing confidence that every significant moment would be beautifully preserved.
For those seeking a wedding photographer who values clear, two-way communication and a genuine commitment to satisfying customer requests, our family recommends Santa Barbara Wedding Films. Their professionalism captured the essence of lifetime memories.

I recently got married in Santa Barbara and had George and his team with Santa Barbara Wedding Films do our video. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is searching for a videographer! George was so nice, so happy, and so professional day-of. It was a pleasure to work with him. He was very responsive prior to the wedding which help put me at ease since there is so much coordination going on. Our video came out better than we could have hoped! It was so awesome that they got the preview to us within a couple days of our wedding day too. We also loved that we got to pick the music. Watching it back, it feels like we're in a movie!! And the cherry on top -- Santa Barbara Wedding Films is reasonably priced! 10/10 production.

SB Wedding Films is great. We used them for our wedding day. Since the beginning George and his team were helpful and accommodating (we had to reschedule our date due to covid). The day of they were extremely professional and set up all the shots necessary to have an awesome video and some not set up shots that capture all those special moments you want to relive. Thank you guys!

George & Ricardo were wonderful to work with. They were genuinely so enthusiastic about our wedding day and went above and beyond to get the shots we wanted (including really great drone footage). They turned around a 1 min preview a week after the wedding, and the 6 min highlight video is such a fun way to relive our day. I wasn't going to do videography originally, but SB Wedding Films was able to fit into our budget and I'm so glad we did.

The best of all crews to work with. They are exception and fun!

These guys are absolutely amazing ! They made my husband and I feel so comfortable and made the process so fun and enjoyable. The photos we have seen so far are absolutely gorgeous ! Thanks again !!!

Santa Barbara Wedding Films surpassed my greatest expectations and made all my dreams come true for our wedding film! I highly recommend this company! From the first few conversations, they took notes and listened to all the details that we wanted to capture on our special day.
Our team consisted of Ricardo, Cress, and Fern and each one of them was amazing and so much fun to work with! Their experience, and their personalities are so great to work with! They truly understand the dynamics of wedding planning, and the day of the event they almost felt like family. From the second they arrived, when the girls were finishing getting ready to the very end. I felt so comfortable around them! Being filmed can seem awkward, but they were so good at getting people to laugh and have fun with it, and to be authentic. There were times when I didn’t even realize they were there, yet they were capturing the most intimate, precious moments. Every detail we asked them to focus on they did!
We had stressed how important it was to capture our children, and they captured so many beautiful moments. The film equipment they used was spectacular! The cinematography was exceptional, and when we watched our wedding high light movie I couldn’t stop crying! It was so well-done, and the drone shots were amazing. But the most touching thing to me, is that with all the footage they somehow read my mind and knew exactly which parts I wanted in the highlight film. I had written letters to my husband and children that day and they let me record a voice-over for those which came out so well!
When we shared our wedding highlight film with family and friends it brought all of them to tears. We have a unique love story and they really captured that. It still takes my breath away when I see the footage. They also bring so much creativity and passion to their craft. You can tell that they are truly invested. For our grand finale’ they captured the most beautiful footage of our sparkler send-off and the lighting of a single sky lantern, that we watched soar up into the heavens. It was captured so beautifully, that I felt like I was watching a movie, but instead it was our wedding. Now I have these memories to cherish forever.
This is one of the best investments we made when it comes to our wedding. I recommend them with the strongest endorsement if you want a wedding that you will never forget captured so that it is timeless, in the most beautiful way imaginable.
Thank you, Santa Barbara Wedding Films!

Hopefully none of our other vendors read this review because I'm going to come out and say it -- Santa Barbara Wedding Films was definitely our FAVORITE VENDOR of all our vendors (sorry not sorry). Our wedding morning was stressful to say the least and not a lot was going right or on schedule, but the team for Santa Barbara wedding films really helped us turn it around. They arrived on time, were professional, but also casual enough to make us feel more at ease and comfortable. They all just have overall fantastic attitudes. They even dealt with us being super awkward during some of the funny getting ready filming portions. They worked very very well with all other vendors we hired too, which made things flow more easily and smooth. They were never pushy and stayed less visible for the ceremony and reception. They even made sure to say goodbye before leaving the reception which we appreciated.

So excited to see the final product. I wrote this review before getting the videos, because I already know nothing will change my mind about how awesome the team was on our day of lurvvv. I will recommend them to everyone getting married!

Santa Barbara Wedding Films are so thoughtful and talented, and a joy to work with. It’s such a relief to work with someone who is professional and on top of it. They responded quickly to all my questions. On the day of the wedding they were Very prepared, on time and respectful. Our wedding Video makes me cry every time we watch it. We highly recommend Santa Barbara Wedding Films to anyone who is looking to capture their special day in their lives!
