Beautiful wedding photos and video at a crazy reasonable price!!! Stockham Media is everything you need.
I stumbled across Stockham on weddingwire while planning my wedding and they are the best wedding decision I made.
They use something called cinephotography, its complicated but they basically shoot video and photo at the same time. Its much more reasonably priced than photo and video separately and the product is EVERYTHING!!!!!!
Let me start at the beginning. Brandon, who is the manager/coordinator of sorts, is A PLEASURE. He was so professional and delightful to coordinate our experience with. He was accomodating, polite, and always prompt in responding to my many emails. I never waited more than a few hours for a response from him. He eased all of my fears about my unfamiliarity with cinephoto and tolerated my many questions to try to be clear about the product I was getting.
We also hired them for our engagement photo shoot. The company is based in San Diego, but they were very accommodating in shooting us in our home in Long Beach. The owner, Dillan, shot us for our engagement, and I must say that we felt an immediate connection to him! He is LOVELY! He has a great energy and spirit and is really amazing at what he does. I must say I left that shoot feeling not only great about the experience but genuinely wanting to be friends with Dillan! Furthermore, we received our all of our photo prints so quickly! We were elated!
Stockham also shoots something called a Love Story, which is video footage where you get to share on camera your personal relationship story through a variety of questions and prompts. We shot ours at our wedding venue, and that was a blast as well. We were able to play it at our wedding reception and it was beautiful to relive that shoot.
Last, our wedding day!!! We had a crew of at least 5 or 6 from Stockham shooting me and my husband as we got ready at our respective locations and then at our venue. They were fun, relaxed and professional at the same time and put me at ease! Now that I've received all my footage, I can see that they were everywhere, catching all the details that day. Which is amazing because I felt like they were never in the way!
Another special moment occurred when the owner Dillan who had been shooting my husband and the groomsman most of the day stopped by my bridal suite just to say hello and check in. This meant a lot to me as I had developed a great connection with him over the prior year shooting engagement and love story footage, and seeing his face before the wedding calmed me immensely.
Finally, we were over the moon at the finished product! We received almost an insane amount of footage, all of it on a hard copy drive in a beautifully engraved wooden box. We received ALL of our raw video footage including our entire ceremony, and love story, highlight films and over a thousand beautiful photos.
I've gone on too long, but I could go on longer. Stockham was by far, my favorite vendor to work with! Every bride should have them in her life! You wont regret it!

My wife and I would highly recommend Dylan and his team! Wonderful service and his videos are truly professional work.

Oh my goodness. If you are wedding planning and hunting for vendors, stop here. Quit scrolling. Do not pass go. Stockham Media is the right choice for you.

You only get married once, hopefully, and you want your big day to be epically captured. Dillan and his team did exactly that for us. Our package included a "Love Story" video before the big day. We got together with Dillan in Balboa Park and spent the afternoon filming and getting to know each other. I cannot stress this enough, getting this face time in beforehand, and getting to meet Dillan and see what a lovely person is, made us feel so at ease on our wedding day. By the time Dillan and his team arrived we already felt so comfortable and cared for, that it felt like welcoming another guest to the celebration, instead of feeling unsure of how to act around a camera. Plus, the gorgeous sweeping drone coverage they captured at our ceremony site seriously feels like something from a movie.

We received our wedding highlight video this week and my new husband and I can't stop watching it. We have cried like 75 times, in the nicest way possible. Stockham Media took our day and turned it into a cohesive, shareable story that we can now treasure and revisit for years to come. We were so impressed with their warmth and professionalism, and can't recommend them enough. Happy planning!

Including Stockham in our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. We filmed a love story with them which went through how we met and our overall story up to that point and it was a blast to film. At first I thought it was going to be awkward because we haven't spent any time in front of the camera, but they were extremely easy to work with and brought out the best in us. We showed the love story to our guests during our reception and it's safe to say that it was one of the highlights of the entire event. They created a video that completely captured our personality and was the perfect mix of emotion and humor. On the day of the event, the videographers worked seamlessly with our photographer and captured all of the important moments without hindering the atmosphere. If you are considering any sort of videography for your wedding, going with Stockham is the best decision you can make.

The team at Stockham Media deserve 10 stars. We booked them for our wedding as a referral from our photographer and they are incredible. Generally speaking, having a videographer for your wedding/event is perfect because even the best of photos cannot totally capture the experience of your wedding. Plus, we had many guests who were unable to attend and we wanted them tot feel like they were there. Everyone we worked with at Stockham (including the founder, Dylan Stockham) truly has a talent and these folks are all top notch. If they're available for your special day...book them right away!

These guys made 2 people who aren't comfortable in front of a camera, so comfortable. We didn't even know they were there, but when we did interact with them we were so incredibly comfortable. From the moment we met with them to interview them, we knew they were a match. Their pricing is very reasonable for what you get (PS I highly recommend the "love story" ) and the quality is incredible. Everything they did from start to finish was top tier and they we on top of everything. I would recommend, and have, these guys to anyone who was looking, you will not be disappointed. :)

We picked this company because of their love story option for video. They come and film your love story and we played it at our wedding. They were so nice and made us feel relaxed! The day of our wedding they were so easy to work with! The worked well with the other vendors. Our videos for our wedding came out STUNNING! Super High Quality and amazing! Couldn't have picked a better videographer team.

We hired Stockham Media due to a last minute change of heart for a videographer. Initially, we were going to do without, but we were glad we changed our minds! We had hired another photographer well before meeting Brandon and Dillan. We later learned that the other photographer's contract was very limited with time even though we had explained what we expected. So we ended up extending our contract with Stockham Media to cover both photography (for the end of our wedding) and videography for the entire day. We are still so glad that we did! The quality of photos, their attention to details, their concern with making sure they got great shots by making sure the background was clear of people was amazing. Honestly, I regret not having met them prior to our original photographer because their photos, video, content and demeanor during the day of the wedding and during the love story was very pleasing, relaxing and professional. Dillan, Ben, Brandon and Tylre actually made me laugh and calmed my nerves the morning of the wedding after the other photographer had stressed me out. My husband and I have spoken about this and if we could change one thing on our big day... it would be making them our primary photographer and videographers. I cannot say enough good things about them. They don't know it yet, and I don't know if they provide this service, but we will be reaching out to them soon to see if they photograph newborns when our baby is born, if not, then we are definitely checking in with them before we hire anyone else. When we look back at our wedding day and all the different vendors we used Stockham Media is at the top of our list with their excellent service.

Let me start by saying that I honestly feel my husband and I found the best crew. Stockham media did our photography and videography for our engagement, wedding, and trash the dress after the wedding. From the moment my husband met Brandon and Dillon, he knew that was the company to go with. Boy, he sure was right, in this case haha 😆
Brandon, Dillon and their crew were very professional and patient, and the communication/relationship they had with each other was absolutely amazing. The day after the wedding all our friends and family kept telling us that the photographers worked so hard on our wedding and that there was no doubt that we were going to be blown away with their work. When we first watched our highlight film, I started shedding tears of joy. It was so touching. My husband and I watched it over and over again because we were completely blown away with all th the details that were captured. The photos were all so beautiful and vibrant, especially the ones taken at the beach. The only sad part after the wedding was that we were not going to be working with stockham media anymore :-( . They were so much fun to work with. We would pick them over and over again :-).
Dillon, if you are reading this, thank you so much for all your patience and hard work. Keep that nice smile 😃
Brandon, thank you also for all your patience and for going out of your way to fulfilling my desires. Tommy and I always enjoyed chatting with you:)
Thanks to the rest of the crew, you all were wonderful:)
Everyone else who is reading this: don’t waste time trying to find the best of the best photo/ videographer because you have found it-STOCKHAM MEDIA! 👍

The service they provide, the communication and the final product was honestly the best. Being the bride and planning the wedding myself until day of was hectic; however Stockham put my mind at ease and took care of everything they needed to do.
