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!!

Perfect wedding video

Mercedes and Jesse were absolutely amazing the day of the wedding. They made us feel comfortable and at ease on our big day. The video exceeded every expectation that we had. They took extra time to get footage of our favorite places and experiences which made it feel even more personal. Cannot recommend them enough. 10 out 10 family members cried upon seeing the video. Thank you guys so much!!!

Highly Recommend Verterra Films for your Wedding!

I highly recommend Mercedes and Jesse for your wedding videographer choice! Leading up to our wedding they were very communicative and the questionnaire they asked us to fill out was super comprehensive. It really got at finding out who we are as people and what we wanted out of our day which really came through in our film. They were so fun to have around in our wedding day; super down to earth and just so happy to be there! We are so happy with our film and how much effort they put into making it. To have those memories captured is so special and we are so grateful!

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.

Most Talented Videographers Around

Mercedes and Jesse were incredible for our wedding day! We met with them a few months before the wedding, and they went over every detail with us to make sure everything was absolutely perfect for the wedding videos. They are extremely talented, kind, and supportive- They created a beautiful highlight video as well as sent us the full ceremony video. They stayed with us after our ceremony for hours to get the perfect shots. The day could not have gone any better, and we cannot thank them enough for making our day so special! They were also extremely communicative throughout the entire process! I highly recommend them for your wedding or event- You will not be disappointed! Best, most talented videographers around!

All the best moments captured in a beautiful video!

We were thrilled with our video. Jesse exceeded our expectations in so many ways. He was flexible, understanding with our busy schedule and seemed to still capture all the important moments. The drone footage is a lovely addition to an already heart filled video.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
