What is the story behind SD Wedding Films?

SD Wedding Films is a Southern California and Central Texas wedding photography and videography studio creating cinematic films and timeless photographs that feel natural, personal, and true to you.

With more than 700 weddings captured, our experienced regional team knows how to provide helpful direction while leaving room for genuine moments to unfold naturally. The result is beautiful, story-driven work—and a relaxed experience that never makes your wedding feel like a production.

Photography, Videography or Both

Choose wedding photography, videography, or bring everything together with one coordinated creative team. Couples who book photography and videography together receive 10% bundled savings, along with simpler communication and a more consistent experience from planning through delivery.

Our services include:

  • Cinematic, story-driven wedding films

  • Timeless, true-to-life wedding photography

  • RAW footage included with every video collection

  • Drone footage included with most video collections when conditions allow

  • Professionally recorded vows, letters and speeches

  • Full-resolution photographs with personal printing rights

  • Flexible coverage options and meaningful enhancements

A Relaxed, Thoughtful Approach

We know most couples aren’t professional models—and you shouldn’t have to be. Our photographers and cinematographers are friendly, unobtrusive, and experienced at helping couples feel comfortable in front of the camera.

We’ll step in with direction when it helps, coordinate closely with your planner and vendor team, and quietly document the candid moments unfolding throughout the day. Even with one cinematographer, we use multiple cameras during key moments such as the ceremony, speeches and formal dances. This allows us to preserve multiple perspectives without adding unnecessary commotion.

Serving Southern California and Texas

Our team regularly photographs and films weddings throughout:

  • San Diego County

  • Temecula and Riverside County

  • Orange County

  • Los Angeles and surrounding Southern California destinations

  • Dallas–Fort Worth

  • Waco and Central Texas

  • Austin and the surrounding Hill Country

  • Communities throughout the DFW-to-Austin corridor

From coastal venues and luxury resorts to Texas ranches, Hill Country estates, wineries and intimate celebrations, our team brings the same level of care, preparation and creativity to every wedding.

Let’s Preserve Your Story

Our collections are designed to provide exceptional quality, meaningful deliverables and straightforward options without unnecessary complexity. Full pricing, wedding films and photography galleries are available on our website, allowing you to explore our work before reaching out.

We would be honored to preserve your wedding through photography, film, or both.

Beautiful footage of our wedding!

I can’t recommend SD Wedding Films enough! We were on the fence about whether to hire a videographer for our wedding, and I am so glad that we did. Our main concern was the price, but after doing a lot of research we found that this company offers a lot of flexibility and different packages so you only pay for what you want. With any package, they provide you with the raw footage that has the video linked with the audio, which we learned isn’t necessarily guaranteed with other companies. So, in addition to having our highlight reel, we have all of the footage from our wedding and can go back and watch everything! The day goes by quickly and there’s a lot you miss, so it was great to go back and relive it.

The team is also very friendly and pleasant to work with. They have great communication, both in person and in writing. The videographer conducted his work in a very discrete manner, and knows how to work around people and in collaboration with other vendors. It was absolutely worth it, I’m so glad that we decided to hire a videographer. The final product was amazingly well done, and I’m so thankful that we have footage from the day. Thank you SD Wedding Films for beautifully capturing our favorite day!!

They are the best out there! Highly recommend!

First and foremost, KC was an absolute GEM! From beginning to end, they were incredible to work with. They brought such a calming, grounding presence to one of the most important days of our lives. They were personable, kind, thoughtful, and up for the crazy adventure that was our cliffside elopement and LONG climb up and down the beach cliffs. It was so easy to feel comfortable and completely ourselves around KC, and through all the wedding nerves, that meant so much to us.

And then there's the turnaround time. NEVER in our wildest dreams did we imagine we would have our wedding videos back in just about ONE WEEK!!! We are both completely astounded and beyond delighted. I mean, the videos are breathtaking! We couldn't believe how quickly we got them, especially after seeing how thoughtfully put together they were. We had a religious specification for the video as well and so appreciated how seamlessly that was handled, too.

This was especially meaningful because we're announcing our secret elopement to our closest family members through these videos on personalized USB drives. Receiving everything so quickly means we can put those together and share soon, and that's just everything to us!

We will cherish these memories and videos forever. Honestly, we cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience! 1M STARS!!! EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTIONS TENFOLD. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Exceptional Service and Product!

If you're considering Jacob as your wedding videographer, book him immediately. Looking back on our wedding day, hiring him was one of the best decisions we made.

From the moment we met Jacob, we knew he was special. He has an incredible ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera while still capturing the most genuine and authentic moments. Nothing ever felt forced or overly staged. He somehow managed to be everywhere at once, catching all the big moments as well as the small, emotional details that we didn't even realize were happening throughout the day.

One of the things we appreciated most was how seamlessly he worked alongside our other vendors. He was professional, organized, and never intrusive, yet somehow captured every meaningful moment perfectly. On the wedding day, he brought such a calm and positive energy that made us feel completely at ease.

And then there's the final product absolutely incredible. Jacob didn't just create a wedding video; he told our story. Every shot, every transition, every piece of audio was thoughtfully woven together into something that felt cinematic, emotional, and uniquely ours. We laughed, cried, and immediately watched it over and over again.

What truly blew us away was his turnaround time. We expected to wait months, as many couples do, but Jacob delivered our content in less than a month. Less than a month! We were honestly shocked. Not only was the delivery incredibly fast, but the quality exceeded every expectation we had.

A wedding day goes by in the blink of an eye, and having someone who can preserve those memories so beautifully is priceless. Jacob gave us something we'll treasure for the rest of our lives, and we cannot thank him enough.

If you want a videographer who is talented, professional, creative, reliable, and genuinely cares about his couples, Jacob is your person. We would choose him again a hundred times over.

Beautiful, intentional, and fast work!!!

WOW! We were blown away by SD Wedding Films. From the wedding day to receiving our film and almost 5 hours of raw footage, we were in awe of how intentionally they worked to capture our love. Our wedding day was beautifully captured in our film, and they incorporated everything we wanted!! We were able to reflect our desires in the pre-wedding form they sent, and they followed it to a T. We recently received our wedding film just 2 weeks from our wedding day!! What a gift. We are so thankful for the staff's talents and will recommend SD Wedding Films to everyone we know. SO thankful for Jacob and his team since the moment we booked with them.

SD Wedding Films

We had an amazing experience working with SD Wedding Films! From start to finish, they were easy to work with, responsive, and incredibly professional. Jacob took the time to schedule a call with us to review their different packages and helped us choose the one that best fit our needs. On our wedding day, Myoung was a wonderful presence. He was so kind, calm, and fun to be around. As our only shooter, he made sure to capture all the details from several angles. He is extremely talented and incredible!

The team delivered both a social media reel, and a full wedding video, as well as all the raw footage. Everything far exceeded our expectations. We cried watching them and it allowed us to relive the best day of our lives all over again. Every detail was captured beautifully, and we know we’ll cherish these videos forever. We couldn’t recommend SD Wedding Films more highly!

Captured our day PERFECTLY!

SD Wedding films did an INCREDIBLE job with our wedding video! For the price, we couldn’t believe how well it was put together. We both literally cried when we saw the final product!! Not only was the final video amazing, but the day of the wedding their team fit so seamlessly into our day and actually helped to keep us organized on and on pace with our timeline. They are seriously THE best and if you need a sign to commit to working with them, let this be it!! Thank you again, Jacob and team!!

Highly Recommend SD Wedding Films!!

We had such an amazing experience working with SD Wedding Films! From the moment we first emailed them to the big day, they were always so communicative. We had a lot of questions at the start, and they answered all of them. On the day of, our videographer, Jerry, was so professional and he captured every moment so nothing was missed!! We also received our highlight video and raw film within 2 weeks after the wedding, and we haven't stopped watching it since. They did such a wonderful job capturing the love and fun of the day. We will be cherishing this video for the rest of our lives, and are so glad they also provide raw footage so we can relive every second! We definitely recommend SD Weddings Films if you're in search for a wedding videographer!!

Amazing work

I loved working with SD Wedding Films for our wedding videography. They did such a great job capturing our day, both in the highlight short film and the raw footage they sent. I was blown away by how many stunning shots they got, and their attention to detail in editing. The raw footage was also way more than I expected-- fully colored, nearly 3 hours of footage (including the ceremony, toasts, and dances from multiple angles). It it such a fun way to relive the memories of our perfect day. And this raw footage is much more than was promised by other videographers for the same price when I was looking. I also received excellent, swift communication from them, and got my videos within 2 weeks of the wedding (FAST). Would highly recommend!

Great experience, beautiful product

We're so glad we chose SD Wedding Films to capture our special day! A huge draw for us was the variety of different packages they offered, which allowed for a lot of flexibility in terms of hours of coverage and length of the final product. We also loved that they offered raw footage of the day - we enjoyed reliving those candid moments. The highlight film they created for us was so moving and captured the day beautifully. Jacob and team were so great to work with leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day!
