Absolutely wonderful

Cory was 100% the best pick for our wedding videography! He’s very receptive to ideas and even as he’s filming you can tell he has a vision in mind for the style and look of the finished film. He and his wife worked super well with our photographer and made us both feel comfortable in front of the camera. He knew when to “close the set” and have it just be one-on-one and when to involve other people. Having some film experience myself I can say that I’m very confident that the finished product will be incredible and beautiful and moving, and we cannot wait to see it!

Working with Cory and Surreal Wedding Films was an incredible experience. We just received our wedding video and we couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. Everything from the music to the cinematography was beautiful and stunning Cory went above and beyond to capture every single moment, big and small. The movie made us feel like we got to relive the entire day and we can't wait to share it with our friends and family We highly recommend Surreal Wedding Films and would even consider using them from smaller events in our life. Thank you, Cory. You are truly the best!

Cory was so fun to work with! Not only did he have so many great creative ideas, he helped me with posing and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. I am lucky to have found such a great videographer. I will cherish this video for a lifetime. Thank you.

We just received our wedding video recently and it was everything that we wanted and more! I have no idea how you could not have a videographer on your wedding day because as beautiful as our pictures were, the video was priceless! Cory was so easy to work with before, during, and after the wedding. We knew from looking at his previous videos that he was going to do spectacular work, but we were in awe of our preview and wedding video. We are so incredibly grateful to have this to look back on for the rest of our lives and we know that Cory made it better than anyone else could have. If you are even thinking about looking elsewhere, go no further. Cory you rock! Thank you again.

Cory was an amazing videographer to work with! He was very responsive to our ideas and took plenty of time to ensure that our wedding video was everything we had hoped! On the day of the wedding Cory and his assistant were incredibly kind and flexible with our schedule. They covered every single part of our incredible day and were very professional during the entire event.

Our wedding video is something that we will hold near and dear to our hearts forever. Cory edited the video in a way that told the story of us and our favorite day! Our family cherishes the beautiful video coverage and look forward to reliving our happiest day for all the years to come! Thank you Cory! Your talent and hard work has made the sweetest mark on our hearts!

WE LOVED LOVED LOVED working with Cory on our wedding day and his final product was absolutely perfect!! To start, he has a fantastic personality; he is kind and funny and an overall delight to work with- really positive day-of energy!! My whole family loved him too and by the end of the night we were trying to set him up with our single friends at the wedding :) Most importantly, he is an incredibly hard working and dedicated talent!! As we watched our video, we were crying and laughing and it brought us back to all the beauty and love of the day!! It exceeded all of our expectations and we were amazed at his filming and editing skills. In end, we kept saying how happy we were that we chose Surreal Wedding Films to be part of our weekend. We went back and forth about which package to get, and I would recommend just going with the biggest package if you can afford it. It's hard to imagine as your planning because you're so stressed with decisions, but it was one of the best decisions we made. The day went by so quickly, and now we feel so lucky to have all of those memories on a well edited and high quality film.

We absolutely, positively cannot thank you enough!! :) You are incredibly talented, and we're so lucky you were our videographer. Thank you forever!

My husband Jesse and I were not going to get a wedding videographer because we thought wedding pictures were going to be enough. A month before my wedding I did some research and stumbled on Surreal Wedding Films website. I watched all of the videos and was completely amazed at Corys talent! I called him and hired him right away. Cory is hands down the most professional, respectful, attentive, talent and kind videographer! He brought my wedding day to life on film. Every one I showed it too couldn't believe how Surreal Wedding Films had turned what could have been a basic film, into a fairytale romance movie. Surreal Wedding Films was my best money spent on my wedding day! Thank you again Cory, Surreal Wedding Films, you are truly the best wedding Videographers!

Cory, there are seriously no words. I'm with my parents and you've rendered my entire family speechless! Seriously, you are such an artist. I really can't even begin to tell you how appreciative I am that you've captured our day this way. I have never seen anything that even comes close to being this good -- you've captured the feeling and emotion so very beautifully. My family can't stop talking about it. And they're a hard crowd to please! This is seriously the most beautiful keepsake of the wedding and we will cherish it forever.

We were referred to Cory from another couple that got married and we couldn't be happier with the service that we received. From day one, Cory was very responsive and patient to explain all the package options and any other questions that I had.

We had never met Cory (seeing as we were in San Francisco) and booked him purely on referral. On the day of our wedding, he arrived on time and was professional, friendly, and charismatic. I really appreciated that he had suggestions for us and he understood what vibe I was going for. Weddings can be quite stressful, but Cory's presence and demeanor seemed to calm me down and put me at ease! I was a little nervous with having two photographers and two videographers around us at all times, but they were so quiet and stealth I didn't even notice that they were there!

We are waiting to receive our highlight film and 15 minute wedding film, and are so excited to see what it will look like! We know that Cory is talented and will produce something beautiful that will give us lifelong memories. I will definitely recommend Cory to anyone that is looking for a videographer.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
