a Beautiful Reminder of the Best Day of Our Lives

I can’t say enough amazing things about Fernando and South Bay Films! Our wedding highlight video is absolutely incredible,he captured the emotion, the magic, and everything I felt that day. Watching it feels like reliving a dream, and it’s such a beautiful reminder that it was all real.

The day goes by so fast, and having both a great photographer and videographer truly makes all the difference. Fernando did an outstanding job capturing not just the ceremony, but the entire day, from getting ready to every special moment that followed. He worked with such professionalism and came fully prepared with all the right equipment to create pure magic.

What impressed me the most is that I didn’t give him much direction, I just shared what was important to me, and he went above and beyond. I’m so grateful we chose him and that we have this video to look back on forever.

I highly recommend having a wedding video, and I highly recommend Fernando and South Bay Films. You’ll be so glad you did!

Best wedding videographer for grest price!

Fernando was an absolute pleasure working with! His attention to detail and vision for our wedding video was beyond anything I could have ever hoped for! I am so in love with our wedding video, and we will get to have this beautiful keepsake for the rest of our lives. We were originally on the fence about booking a videographer for our wedding and I am so glad we did, and I am so glad we found Fernando. If you are on the fence, book him, he is the best and has an eye for creating a beautiful story through film.

Everything I didn’t know I ever wanted

As a bride to be I wouldn't consider myself being especially particular about anything, that mostly being because I had no actual idea of what I was looking for until I saw it. A few months before our wedding after reviewing referrals and wedding planner picks I decided to look for myself again and I am so glad I did. I thought his other videos were beautiful and he made me fall in love with our wedding all over again in the one he made for us. He truly is an artist that functions highly within the chaos of everything that a wedding entails. I would 100% recommend - especially those looking for an artist who has a true eye for capturing indescribable nights and unforgettable moments in an unbelievably effortless way. Thank You for everything Fernando :) It was simply amazing

Great Wedding Videographer!

Fernando was our wedding videographer and we're so glad we went with him! He was so easy to work with and put in a lot of effort towards getting the best shots during various events (getting ready, first look, etc.). He worked seamlessly with our photographer and made a lot of great suggestions for various shots to take as well. We just received our Highlight Film and are so happy with the final product! He was able to perfectly capture the best moments from the day while including a little bit of everything, so it feels like it truly does encapsulate the entirety of what is a very eventful day! From the initial conversations to the final product, it was a pleasure to work with Fernando and we highly recommend him for anyone in need of a wedding videographer.

Beautiful cinematography

Fernando was such a pleasure to work with! Every interaction we had with him was conducted respectfully and professionally. I felt confident after our first call that he knew what he was doing and he would capture our wedding beautifully. On the wedding day itself, he partnered with our photographer and together, they effortlessly documented our day while keeping it fun and light! I love how our videos turned out! Thank you Fernando!

Timeless work!

Fernando filmed our wedding on May 28, 2022. Due to covid, we postponed twice and he was always so accommodating and kept in touch with us for 2 years as we navigated the next steps of our wedding. He worked alongside our photographer and made it seem like the camera wasn’t there. He made it look and feel natural for us and we loved working with him! His work is amazing!
