If you’re anything like me and you’re on the fence about a videographer - 1. You need one, and 2. It needs to be Rob!! My husband and I went back and forth about hiring one for a while, and finally I reached out to Rob just to chat and learn more while we were considering it. Rob was super personable and easy to work with from our first conversation. It was clear he was super knowledgable and loves what he does! He answered all of my questions transparently, and shared the value of a video, without being pushy/sales-y at all, which I really appreciated. A few months after our wedding, it was truly one of the best decisions we made!!

The wedding day was so perfect, but seemed to go by SO quickly! The day of, Rob was always present without being 'in the way' and he fit in perfectly with our group! Watching our videos back, we were reminded of beautiful moments from the day, but we also saw some moments for the first time! It was so fun to get a sneak peek so quickly, and the full video was shared much more quickly than what we've seen with our friends using other vendors. The quality was phenomenal - we trusted Rob’s artistic vision and he more than delivered! I am SO SO grateful to have these amazing videos to look back on and share with our loved ones. I will always cherish having our ceremony and the kind words of our parents/ best friends memorialized forever. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Rob did an amazing job throughout our wedding weekend. He was consistently prepared to mic up the relevant guest/speaker, and blended well into the crowd. In the hours leading up to the wedding ceremony, he did a great job at the First Look to help us navigate all of the chaos. He created a ~1 minute highlight reel of our wedding only 48 hours after the big day, and it was the first recap Marin and I had seen after the wedding. It was AMAZING. We clearly chose the right videographer, and are very thankful to Rob.

The bride & groom were apprehensive about hiring a videographer since they already had photographers for the wedding. I was adamant about utilizing a videographer and I retained Rob to capture their special day. After viewing the social media videos, my newlyweds were thrilled with my decision to hire Rob and then were “over the moon” when the highlight/cinematic film came back which captured moments they had forgotten about. Rob catered the videos to their personalities mixing in their sense of humor with amazingly sentimental moments. Rob also provides extra raw footage from moments throughout the day (toasts, first looks, etc). Needless to say, these video reels allows us to immerse ourselves again with all the laughter & excitement from that magical day. Thank you Rob for capturing these authentic moments and giving us such cherished memories. You’re the BEST!

I cannot say enough good things about Rob and the team at Surrender Films. My wife and I selected Rob as our videographer for our wedding out on Kiawah Island. From our first phone conversation, it was very clear how passionate and creative Rob is about making wedding films. We had many requirements in terms of how we wanted our video to be filmed, and Rob was able to meet every detail we threw at him. He is extremely professional, creative, and very thorough when it comes to prewedding planning for the shots and feel, as well as making sure we felt comfortable day of. If you are looking for a videographer in the Charleston area, Rob is your guy! Rob, thank you so much for all your work on our special day!

Rob and Surrender Films are a MUST HIRE vendor! My wife and I were in search of a videographer in the Charleston area who had experience filming at Kiawah Island and we came across Rob’s information online. We are SO thankful that we found him. From our very first call, Rob was exceptionally friendly, professional and open-minded. My wife and I had always envisioned a wedding video that looked like a movie - which would require using drone footage, gimbals, and multiple cameras and Rob was the one to make all of that happy AND MORE!

His creativity, attention to detail, and perfection in his craft makes him wonderful to work with. He consistently reached out to us before the wedding to make sure he had all details necessary, and was 100% on top of any questions or asks we had for him. He nailed every element we laid out for him on our shot list and then some! On the day of our wedding, we had inclement and windy weather and were worried that might impact what footage we could get…..but that did not stop Rob and his team in the slightest. To have a vendor contend with something as unexpected as weather and still deliver an amazing final product goes to show you just how talented he really is. We were blown away when we received our wedding footage, and could not believe how perfectly he captured our special day!

Rob thank you so much for your professionalism and hard work - you delivered BEYOND what we were expecting and we are so appreciative of your work.

Rob I cannot thank you enough! I'm a bride planning a wedding in 2020, and luckily I was able to say "I Do"! Rob captured all of the best moments and created an amazing video: https://vimeo.com/454880533 Would highly recommend to anyone!

Rob at Surrender Films was amazing. He took charge and really was a second guide throughout the day. He kept everyone up to speed and made sure we had everything we needed.

His vision and ownership in what we as a group wanted for our special day was exactly what we had hoped for in making memories to last forever!!

Thanks again!!

Our wedding video could not have more perfectly captured the essence of our wedding story. I've watched it over and over. The video and audio quality, the shots he got, the way the film was edited, all outstanding. Our wedding trailer was to us nearly immediately so we got to relive the wedding day on our honeymoon. We also love the video gallery that captured all the moments we wanted to see including full ceremony, intros, each speech, dances, etc. There is literally nothing I would have asked more from Rob. Absolutely amazing experience working with Rob.

Rob from Surrender Films went above and beyond on our wedding day to make sure he got the best video footage, and it definitely showed in our wedding film! He arrived early to get footage of both my husband and I getting ready, and he stayed for the entire evening to make sure he got all of the best dance moves! Rob has an eye for detail and will make sure he captures all of the details of your wedding day! He was very responsive throughout the whole planning process and was very timely with returning our videos! My husband and I could not be happier with our wedding videos, and we look forward to watching our video clips in all the years to come to relive our wedding day! Thanks Rob!

Rob was nothing short of amazing! He showed up early, was extremely patient and provided great direction. He was able to see our vision and make it happen. Rob’s turnaround time and work really displayed the love we felt that day! He was by far the most courteous and professional gentlemen we dealt with on our wedding day. The value he brings goes above and beyond.
