The absolute best!!

It’s impossible to overstate how absolutely incredible Jesse and Mercedes are! Not only are they kind, detail-oriented, and fun to hang with— they are insanely talented. We were really only the fence about even booking a videographer, but it is the best decision we made.

The video they created is exactly what we wanted, and I’m so glad that we decided to work with them! I promise you will not regret getting a videographer— especially if you book Jesse and Mercedes. 10/10 experience!!

Absolutely the Best

BOOK THEM!! Our wedding video came out absolutely perfect. We cried, our family cried, our friends cried, even people we don't know well teared up after watching our amazing video. Jesse is an absolute pleasure to work with. He did everything he promised and more. We really can't say enough good things to describe how happy we are with them. We now have our special day captured perfectly so we will never forget those beautiful moments. Jesse was born to do this job. People commented that they have never seen such a perfect wedding video. I could go on all day recommending Verterra Films. You will not regret hiring them.
