Kirsten Sent on 11/25/2020BESTudios is what he should really be called!
Short and sweet version:
Billy is an amazingly talented videographer. He knows how to get the best camera angles and how to capture the right lighting and focus the camera. If you're looking for a videographer that is easy to work with, sticks true to their pricing and make a highlight video of your wedding that truly captures the day and your love, go with BE Studios you will not regret it.
.
.
.
Now for those that take the time to read details:
Why Billy? He actually listens to what you want, jumps on the game plan easily, and works so professionally well with others. Billy is prepared, professional, and has a knack for creating unique wedding videos. He doesn't get in the way of photographers but doesn't let the photography get in the way of perfect video shots. He's timely. He captures the details of a wedding that is easy to miss when you are the bride and groom. He makes everything flow well and doesn't not bring awkward silence or uncomfortable moments. He knows what he is doing and he does it well.
What makes him different from the rest?
Everyone wants their own style wedding highlight clip, but I am going to be biased and say what Billy makes blows other videographers out of the water. Why? Because he actually highlights the couple and their wedding instead of making short videos with trendy love songs in it. Our wedding highlight video is timeless because of Billy. He edited it to capture the love between me and my husband but he also highlighted what we said to each other in our vows and what others said about us in their speeches. Why is this better than a bunch of b roll with trendy music? Because as the years go on what people said at your wedding will start to fade but with an edited video from Billy you will never have to worry about forgetting what people said said and how you felt that day. We can listen to our favorite love songs any day of the week, but you can't relive your wedding, unless if you use BE Studios for your videography.
What made our wedding special?
Billy contributed to making wedding planning easy. He didn't hound us with information when planning and let us ask questions. He told us his basic plan for videography and listened to our hopes from there. Billy got to our venue before my husband and I did and didn't waste a second! By the time I arrived he said he already did shots of my wedding dress, details shots, venue shots etc. He didn't waste time. I appreciate a person who knows their job and doesn't sit around waiting for direction.
How long do you have to wait to get a video?
Billy got us an edited highlight clip that was more than 6 minutes long within THREE weeks from our wedding date. His contract says he will get it to you within 2 months but this guy is DEDICATED to his craft and will work his butt off to get you the best looking, best sounding video, as soon as possible.
Any other details I should know before I pick BE Studios?:
Billy is super easy to communicate with. He is enthusiastic. He is fun. He makes videos unique to each couple. He communicates with your venue and any other vendors. Our wedding had rain and he instantly jumped into action with a game plan of video footage even though we couldn't be outside. He doesn't waste a second of the service you pay for. He even brought a cute clear umbrella for us to take video/photo shots under!!! A small but incredibly thoughtful detail. He is flexible and even worked with us ahead of time to schedule staying longer at our wedding and making a longer highlight clip than usual for us. His second videographer is hand picked by him and is just as professional and works well as a team. -

We loved working with Billy!
We absolutely loved working with Billy! We had our engagement shoot with him about a year before our wedding and loved his vibe immediately, he put us at ease in front of the camera, was very friendly, stayed over the time frame discussed to get all the shots we wanted, and delivered awesome pictures! Also, we don’t live in San Diego so we didn’t have anyone to hold our dog during pictures that didn’t include her, and he was amazing at wrangling her while simultaneously shooting shots of just the two of us!
He was also an absolute godsend on our wedding day. I’d definitely recommend him for couples who are getting married at the Safari Park, as it’s quite a big venue and it was incredibly helpful to have a photographer familiar with the park and who knew the best places for good shots. Billy suggested an amazing spot for our first look and private vows, and took loads of great shots as we walked through the park. He’s super friendly and a consummate professional, absolutely someone you want to work with on one of the most important days of your life. He is also incredibly communicative, which we loved. We truly can’t recommend him highly enough! -

The BEST Wedding Photographer & Videographer Team!
Billy Economou, owner of BE Studios, is simply the best! We wanted a team that offered both photography and videography, and Billy’s vibrant and tasteful style immediately stood out. His photos are stunning—colorful, flattering, and perfectly capture both the fun and emotional moments of the day. Billy and his crew were professional, efficient, and made everyone feel comfortable (even the kids loved him!). We got all our content on time and had a tough time choosing favorites because there were so many amazing shots. You can tell they truly love what they do because it shows in every photo and video. We also had multiple guests comment on how handsome the whole team was lol, bonus points! I even trusted Billy’s recommendation for a wedding planner, and it was spot on. We’ll definitely be hiring BE Studios again for future milestones! -

Richard Sent on 08/20/2025BE Studios Creates an Exceptional Day
From the moment we met Billy, we knew he was the perfect choice to capture our special day. His unique approach to photography turned our wedding into a beautiful story told through each shot. Billy’s creativity and attention to detail were evident in every picture and in every scene. He didn’t just capture the big moments. He had an incredible ability to frame and highlight scenes in a way that made us feel like we were living in a dream.
What really stood out to us was how Billy made us feel so comfortable and relaxed, especially during our private portrait moments. His easy-going personality and approachable nature made it effortless to be ourselves, which allowed him to capture the most genuine moments between us like those subtle glances, a shared smile, and the quiet joy we felt being together.
Billy also had a knack for catching those spontaneous moments that can easily slip by unnoticed. He captured the joy and excitement of our guests in the most natural and fun way. Whether it was a quick laugh, a joyful moment on the dance floor, or a candid interaction, Billy was always right there, ready to capture the essence of the celebration.
Above all, Billy didn’t miss a single important moment. From the intimate details to the larger-than-life moments, he was there, turning everything into lasting memories we will treasure forever. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Billy's ability to blend creativity with a relaxed, down-to-earth vibe made him a joy to work with, and the final photos are nothing short of spectacular.
We highly recommend Billy to anyone looking for a photographer who truly understands the magic of a wedding day and knows how to capture it in a way that feels both authentic and extraordinary. -

Laura Sent on 06/25/2025Amazing Experience!!
BE Studios was absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend Billy and his team enough. I knew we made the right decision after our engagement shoot. Billy made us feel so comfortable and the photos came out amazing. I was so calm and at ease with Billy's entire team on our wedding day in La Valencia. The work product was also amazing. My friends and family were raving about our photos and video and I couldn't have been more pleased!! -

Best Wedding Photog Ever!
I've known Billy for years and hired him for other professional photo shoots in the past. He's always been amazing. Recently we hired him for our wedding shoot and he checks all of the boxes. Amazing shots! Super knowledgable! Knows how to setup beautiful shots and gives great direction. He is also an incredibly warm and pleasant persona to work with. I highly recommend! -

Sarah Sent on 11/21/2024BE Studios is the BEST!
As my makeup artist said to me “You got Billy?! You don’t even need me - Billy will make you look amazing no matter what.”
Hiring Billy & his team for our photography & videography is the absolute BEST investment you can make for your wedding day. My husband and I are not super comfortable in front of the camera and Billy and his team made us feel so at ease and we just had such a fun time with them taking photos in the afternoon. Throughout the ceremony and reception, they captured all of the key moments, but weren’t “disruptive” at all.
And THE RESULTS!!! The photos & video were BEYOND my wildest imagination. The photos are absolutely breathtaking (I’m still shook) & the video captured our story, the feeling of our day, and our friends & family so so well. I truly cannot overstate the value of hiring Billy & his team to capture the memories of your special day. I don’t even live in San Diego & I’m already trying to think of who I can recommend them to or when I might have a need to work with him again. -

Sarah Sent on 10/13/2024Best Photography/Videography Team Ever
We could not be happier we chose BE Studios for our wedding photographer/videographer. From the first day we met Billy at our engagement shoot, we felt comfortable, despite being self admittedly very awkward posing for photos. Billy knew how to get us out of our shells and make even our awkward selves look great in our photos. I happened to pick a very busy location for our engagement photos, and Billy was able to find a way to capture photos that made it look like we were the only people in the entire park. Day of the wedding, Billy and his team made the entire process smooth, fun, and even though we had 4 people around us taking photographs and videos, it still felt very intimate. Billy sent us our engagement photos and wedding photos in an incredibly timely fashion, and the pictures turned out beautiful. We could not recommend Billy and his team more. I definitely hope to use his team again in the future! -

Mike and Paige were absolutely incredible and made our wedding! They were beyond professional, had amazing shot ideas, and just brought so much energy. We were supposed to receive 50 sneak peeks within 7 days and they got us almost 250 photos within 4 days. Our families and friends are absolutely raving about the photos. I would recommend them to anyone! -

Best wedding photographers
Billy and Jim were absolutely fantastic as our wedding photographers. They made us feel so comfortable, it was like having family around us throughout the day. Their friendly and relaxed approach put us at ease, allowing us to be ourselves and truly enjoy every moment. They captured every important detail beautifully, and the photos are everything we could have hoped for. We highly recommend Billy and Jim to anyone looking for photographers who are not only incredibly talented but also genuinely caring and easy to work with.

Caitlin Sent on 09/03/2024We could not have asked for a better group to capture our wedding weekend so perfectly!
BE Studios continues to deliver flawless work! My sister used them for her wedding and we were SO impressed that we of course used them for ours too, and we could not be happier with the results! Billy and his team captured our wedding weekend perfectly! Our family absolutely loved working with them- they are so kind and respectful. They have such a keen eye for capturing the small but most meaningful things throughout the event. Their work is truly stunning. The pictures and videos all came out quickly and so beautifully. We felt like we could relive our weekend all over again as they gave us a glimpse of the love and joy that surrounded us the entire weekend:) We are so grateful for this team and cannot recommend them highly enough! We truly look forward to working with them again in the future! -

Taylor Sent on 02/06/2024We love BE Studios :)
My photographer recommended I check out BE Studios to use as our videographer and I couldn't be more pleased with our experience! They did an amazing job capturing our best day in 5 minutes and I am so happy to be able to rewatch our day again and again for years to come. On the big day, they were great to work with, and guests who saw the video afterwards said, "I didn't even realize you had a videographer!", so they were very 'out of the way' but still capturing the day. 10/10 would recommend working with BE Studios on your wedding day, you won't be disappointed!!! -

Incredible Photos & Experience w/BE Studios!
When we got our first batch of photos from BE Studios after the wedding, I told Billy that I was both shocked and completely unsurprised at the same time with how amazing the photos were. Shocked because I actually didn't mind photos of myself for the first time in seemingly forever and unsurprised because his portfolio is exactly what you get.
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Billy and Jim. From the very first conversation with Billy, I knew we didn't need to continue hunting for a photographer. In fact, he was the first and only photographer I talked with regarding our wedding. Billy is sincere, kind, exceptionally easy to work with and is already loaded with ideas for photos to be taken and is open to whatever photo ideas you may have that he didn't (not likely). Although we spoke less pre-wedding with Jim, our experience with him was also exceptional. Immediately after entering the guys' ready room, everyone was comfortable and Jim shares all of the above traits with Billy. It truly felt like we had hired some super talented photographer friends to capture our wedding.
Words are hard to find to describe how positive of an experience it was to have BE Studios photograph our wedding and I honestly cannot recommend Billy and company more. In fact, our only regret was not being able to budget for their videography services also. -

Beth Sent on 10/04/2023Hire them immediately!
First and foremost, the quality of BEStudios' work is simply unparalleled. The photos and videos they captured on our special day are nothing short of breathtaking. Every moment, every emotion, and every detail was beautifully and artistically documented. The colors were vivid, the composition was perfect, and the images are ones that every bride hopes to be able to look back on one day!
The entire BEStudios team is professional, responsive, incredibly talented, and fun to work with! Not only did our photos come out amazing (huge thank you to our lead photographer, Mike!), but our wedding highlight video is also SO BEAUTIFUL!
I wholeheartedly recommend BEStudios to all brides and grooms out there. They are not just a wedding photography and videography company; they are true artists who will capture the most important moments of your life with unparalleled skill and passion. If you want your wedding memories to be as incredible as ours, look no further than BEStudios. They are truly worth every single cent, so don't lose the opportunity to hire them by waiting too long trying to make a decision - they should be your decision!
In all sincerity, thank you to Mike, Billy, and the entire BEStudios team for making our day even more special, and for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. -

Dream Team
I cannot say enough good things about BE Studios. We used them as our photographer and videography team for our wedding this April 1st and they beyond exceeded expectations. Billy, Jim, Joe, and Mike were incredible at making me feel so beautiful and confident in front of the camera as a bride. They never made us feel rushed and gave the perfect amount of light direction so that our photographs captured the most natural, beautiful moments, genuine smiles of our personal moments and the vibrant laughter and joy of our guests. ALSO, if you are on the fence about videography, I cannot stress this more- 100000% do it. I have many friends getting married that are questioning if they should do videography but seriously-there was NOTHING like reliving the moments, sounds, laugher, and words of the day as it was receiving our beautiful highlight video and all of the video files after the wedding was over. Also, 10000% recommend doing both through BE Studios as they offered a great deal for both videography and photography services and were seriously the most professional and well-organized group I could have imagined-an absolute dream team- and this is so important to have on your wedding day when there is so much orchestration going on. Trust me, don’t think twice and book both services. To the BE Studios team- thank you so much for making our wedding day so incredibly special. We can’t recommend you enough!!! -

BE Studios Comes Rain or Shine!
This review is well overdue. The photos Billy and his team took at my wedding back in September 2022 are displayed all over my home, my office, my Instagram, and my phone. I constantly look back at them and feel immense gratitude for hiring Billy. To almost everyone's surprise, our wedding day in almost-always-sunny San Diego was a rainy one, but that did not stop Billy and his team from exceeding my expectations. He came prepared and equipped with umbrellas; already had ideas of dry areas to take our portraits; and kept my top priority pictures at the forefront of his mind. Billy also delivered the photos well in advance of his promised date and completely wowed me, my husband ("wait, that's us?!"), my family, my friends, my work colleagues, and everyone in between. The quality of the photos he produced are top-notch, and his attention to detail does not go unnoticed. If you are considering hiring Billy and his team, do it. I promise you will not regret it. -

Brittany Sent on 09/14/2022Best Photography/Videography Team Ever!
The decision to go with BE Studios truly made our wedding. Jim, Billy and their team were so incredible, we had several guests coming up and asking how we found our video/photo team as they even noticed how attentive and talented they were. Talk about the most genuine and kind people, Jim and Billy photographed and videoed myself and bridesmaids prior to the wedding and made us feel so relaxed and we had the best time leading up to the ceremony. Just one week after the wedding, we already received hundreds of sneak peaks which has helped us to relive our wedding day over again! We had a tight timeline and it was really important for us to fit everything in and Jim and Billy made it a priority to stick to our timeline and ensure we hit every photo spot and opportunity we had wanted throughout the day and night. The communication leading up to the wedding and throughout the wedding day was amazing, we received extremely quick responses and such amazing advice. Truly could not have dreamed up a better photo/video team and cannot recommend them highly enough!! -

Austin Sent on 08/29/2022Terrific Service, Great Value
Billy and his team exceeded our expectations and were very easy to work with. Billy walked us through every step of planning and made adjustments smoothly with no hassles. Our photographer Michael and our videographer Joe were both friendly with the right energy to keep us relaxed and smiling during a long and busy day! Both guys knew our venue like the back of their hand. Financially, they were a great deal; a competing studio in the area quoted us at $3,000-$4,000 more for the same service. And yet the photos and video we received are priceless. We would recommend Billy, Michael, and Joe to anyone. -

Best Decision EVER!
I don't know where to start with this review for Billy (and his team). Billy came to the rescue just 9 weeks before our wedding. We had hired a photography service we found online- this was a huge mistake. We were lured in with cheap prices, fantastic sales tactics and over promising of what we would get. Our wedding turned into a big production and the team we had hired wasn't equipped to handle everything we needed from them nor the style we were going for, Vanity Fair/Vouge - we weren't your average wedding party. We parted ways with this team and prayed we would find a new team who checked off all of our boxes. I was given Billy's information by our day of coordinator and after perusing through his website & work I called him and left a very frantic message.
Billy emailed me late at night and he made time to speak to me the very next day. Just with one phone call he put me at ease and assured me everything would work out. We let Billy know the look we were going for, the dynamics of our family/friends and all the extras we had going on (Mariachi, String Quartet, Marquis Letters & a Beyonce impersonator). Nothing seem to phase him and he just let e know that it was going to be the best day ever and him and his team would handle everything. The moments leading up to our wedding, he was in constant contact and always just a short text away. The day of our wedding... Billy and his team showed up and we were all impressed with their level or professionalism and... well they were all very good-looking, naturally this was a must for two grooms! These guys came to deliver. They talked with us, wanted to know more about my both my husband and I + all of our wedding party and family. They even let my flower girl have a whole photo shoot.
If you're still reading this review, then you need to act quick and hire Billy and his team. I promise you won't regret it. Thank you Billy, Joe, Mike & Jim! I hope you all had as much fun as we did! -

Best team ever!
From booking them to the day of, BE Studios was a dream to work with. Billy is extremely responsive and answered all of our questions before the big day. I also always get super nervous in front of the camera but they made me, my husband, and family/friends feel so comfortable. I am so happy we chose them to capture our best day ever. We will always be able to look back and remember the great memories we made that day. I can't wait to show our future kids!! -

Lydia Sent on 12/30/2021Amazing photos, and Incredible experience working with BE Studios on our wedding day!
Mike and Voytek were absolutely fantastic. They were extremely organized, always on schedule, and new the venue and details of the day better than we did. In addition to their fantastic photography skills, my husband and I both felt like they were like our unofficial personal managers for the day, keeping us calm as we transitioned between locations, and helping us know where to be and when.
There were a few points when I started to freak out because I was slightly behind schedule, such as when I was so late getting ready for the Hindu ceremony that we decided to cancel the first look session, or when I couldn't find my white wedding dress right before the 2nd ceremony was supposed to start. During each of these times, Voytek assured me that he was already in contact with my wedding planner and everything was going to be just fine. His confident, relaxed presence calmed me (and my Mom and friends) down, and I was able to relax and enjoy the unpredictable moments of the day. When we received our photos, I was so surprised to see that the shots he snapped during these seemingly frantic moments came out absolutely stunning. The in-between moments like my Mom zipping my dress, and me putting on my shoes—All captured with elegant grace. Even when I felt stressed, he managed to make me look like a glowingly beautiful bride.
My husband and I had a unique and long wedding day lineup, with a South Indian Hindu ceremony, lunch & cocktail hour, followed by a Western exchange of rings and vows ceremony, and a reception downtown. There were multiple outfit changes for many people, and three separate locations. The photographs completely captured the special vibes of each part—The colorful, high-energy magic of the Hindu ceremony, the festive, cheerful casual interactions between guests and our close friends/family, the golden hour glow of the more serene Western ceremony, and the high-energy evening party vibe of the reception. The posed couple shots and family shots truly captured how radiantly glowing everyone was that day. And the unposed candid shots are an amazing way for us to look back fondly at how much fun all the guests were having.
Another thing we loved about Mike and Voytek was that they matched our energy, vibe and interests. When we were wandering around with them to do some couples shots after the family photos, they collaborated with us to take a whole set of amazing shots where my husband and I hopped a small fence and danced around on an abandoned dock, with the San Diego harbor in the background. The result was an amazing set of shots with us playfully climbing over the "Keep out" sign, with my white dress billowing in the wind. These unconventional shots captured our personality, and we felt like we were free to be ourselves with Mike and Voytek.
The photo delivery process was exactly as described and on time, and the quality/lighting/detail in the photos was absolutely fantastic. They captured the best aspects in the beauty of our day. I would recommend BE Studios to anyone looking for high-quality wedding or event photos. -

Absolutely the best!
Billy immediately made us feel like family during our first call. We decided to hire him and his team at BE Studios because we felt so comfortable with him and loved his personality. We also hired him because his portfolio was very impressive and resonated so well with us and who we are as a couple. We were looking for someone who could "see" the natural beauty and elegance in simple moments and capture all of the softness, as well as the pure joy, of our wedding day. We decided to book him for his top wedding package, which also included our engagement session.
Our engagement session was so intimate and exactly what we needed to feel comfortable in front of the camera. Billy directed us so effortlessly and he actually created many memories for us as a couple. We were lucky enough to capture our first sunset together at the beach with him and our photos are AMAZING. When it came time for our wedding, we already felt so much chemistry and trust with Billy that we weren't nervous in front of the camera at all and we believe this made such a difference in capturing all of the best moments of our wedding day. For all you couples out there, book for both engagement and wedding and let him do his thing. Trust what he has in mind and go with the flow when he’s shooting. He is incredible. We were so pleased in how he was able to visually capture our complete love story. BE Studios put together a video of our wedding day that somehow managed to perfectly capture the emotion and hope we felt throughout our day to our family and friends who weren’t able to attend. We are so grateful.
We truly believe Billy and his team are the best in the business. They are professional, but they are also caring and kind and FUN and this is really evident in their work. We look forward to having an opportunity to hire them again and highly recommend BE Studios for any of life's special moments you want captured!

We found our photographer for LIFE!
Just hire BE Studios… seriously, don't look anywhere else.
When we first started wedding planning we established what was the most important aspect of our wedding: photography and videography. BE Studios did NOT disappoint!!
Where do we even begin with Billy and his team? The most important thing to me when picking a vendor is establishing a true connection with them right off the bat. From our very first conversation with Billy, we knew we could instantly trust him with our photos and videos. He and his team are friendly, funny, kind, and knowledgeable.
Because of the pandemic, we had to split our Catholic and Hindu ceremony/reception into two separate days, rather than all in one day as originally planned. Billy was so understanding and it was so effortless to work with him to set another date.
On wedding day, or DAYS in our case, Billy and the team arrived on time and just knew what they were doing. As I was getting ready, they picked up my dress, jewelry, etc and instantly started working away. They really know what they are doing. I even sent him some inspo pics a few days before my April wedding and he took similar shots for our big day! Our guests and family also loved them!
Billy sent us a sneak peek of our photos less than a week since the wedding, and we love them all! He really captures the true emotions you have on your wedding day. When we look at the pictures it takes us back in time to our wonderful wedding days because we can relive those emotions over and over again just by looking at the pictures.
Thank you BE Studios for everything!
P.S. Billy also does the best duck and bird sounds that not only made the kids laugh, but also made all of the adults laugh. Make sure to ask him to demonstrate!

The best!!!
Hiring Billy and his team for our photography and videography was one of the best wedding decisions we made! We couldn’t have imagined more perfect engagement and wedding photos. BE Studios is extremely talented with lighting and natural, fun, creative poses. We felt completely comfortable and never knew we could look so good. Our highlight video literally feels like a movie and is absolute perfection. The photographers and videographers were so great to work with not only during our special day, but throughout the entire process. We cannot recommend BE Studios enough! Thank you for capturing our wedding perfectly! -

I cannot say enough great things about Billy and his team! Being a wedding planner myself, when it came time to planning my own wedding I knew how important photography was.
I've now had the pleasure of working with Billy both as a fellow vendor and as the bride and he is just extraordinary in so many ways! Billy is someone you will instantly feel comfortable with and whose passion for photography and excitement about your day makes it feel just that much more special. He is incredibly talented both in getting great posed shots as well as capturing the candid precious moments (and hilarious ones). The photos were back to us in record speed and my family and I were so impressed and in love with each and every one of them! These are something we will cherish forever and hiring BE Studios one of our best decisions! -

Erin Sent on 03/02/2020Captured everything about us!
Our wedding was December 28 2019! Our venue recommended BE Studios and I’m so glad they did! From the first email, to the big day, to when we got our footage Billy has been nothing but kind, professional and extremely helpful! And HE IS REALLY TALENTED!!!!
He and his team were really able to capture the love and excitement not only my husband and I had but also all our guests! Something that I look back on now that was super important were our details! We worked really hard on all the lil details to make our wedding US! Billy was able to capture that as well! And LISTENED to what I felt was most important! And even during the wedding he was always nearby (but not hovering because he was capturing so much!)!! So when I would get excited about something he would notice come over and film away!!!
I was a very hands on bride, I can’t help it and he never made me feel bad haha he was always excited to hear my ideas but my ideas were never as good as his!!!
Another important quality about him was he is calm and collected!!!! As a bride I did not think about this until after the wedding!! But this may be one of the most important qualities for any wedding vendor/professional!
We had two shooters Billy and James! Great team! We added an hour and a half to our 6 hour package which was perfect for us!
Billy and James also worked GREAT with our photographers and we had three!
On top of everything else he made us feel special! He complimented and smiled told me how great everything was going! I needed it!!!
I feel super lucky we got them!
Our highlight video was US it was REAL! Bright colors! Smiling faces! Laughing! He knew what would be important to us! All that for only knowing us in person for only 7 and half hours!
If you want to see your wedding through the eyes of everyone around and you want to capture the love then BE Studios is your vendor!

Went Beyond Expectations
Billy and his team went beyond our expectations and they were able to capture our greatest moments in the wedding. He is very passionate of his work and made us feel very comfortable while providing easy instructions when taking photos. We definitely recommend that you get the full package from engagement photoshoot to the wedding photos and video. -

Hands down the BEST!
Billy and his team are absolutely AMAZING!! My husband and I are from Norcal and had our wedding in SD last month, we picked BE Studios based on their raving reviews and we could not be happier! Billy and his team are so fun to work with, easy going, professional and the end product exceeded our expectations! If considering whether or not to do a video for your wedding please GET IT! BE Studios gave us the most memorable/perfect pictures of our wedding along with an incredible video to capture the highlights of the whole day. If looking for a photographer/videographer BE Studios is hands down the best! -

Love my wedding photos!
Billy is amazing!!! First off, he's just the nicest guy you'll meet and makes you feel totally comfortable (and this is coming from a person that does not know how to be in front of a camera).
Billy got our sneak peek wedding photos back to us within FIVE DAYS and they were amazing (and I'm pretty critical!)
He really knows how to capture moments you hope to remember and now I don't know what to do with a million amazing photos! -

Billy was AMAZING!!!! Being a photographer myself, I was very picky! I wanted someone know really knew how to frame photos and had a creative eye. Already got sneak peak and I am beyond thrilled with my choice. The bonus is how fun Billy was to work with on wedding day!! -

Abby Sent on 08/22/2019Beautiful Videography
Don't hesitate, book BE Studios! We had the pleasure of having Billy do our Engagement Photos and his team (led by Dustin) did our wedding videography. Both were absolutely amazing. Billy was so flexible with our location preference for the engagement shoot, allowing us to get both of our favorite sides of Coronado island and the pictures turned out absolutely stunning. Billy makes you feel super comfortable and is so sweet and easy going. He also was very available to me via phone and email for all of the questions I had prior to booking them, which made my decision even easier. Great customer service and they make you feel like they truly care about you and what you envision for your day.
Dustin was with me for the bulk of my wedding day for videography and he was so fun, such a great attitude and so professional. We had a total of 3 videographers as we had an intern come along as well. They are video ninjas, we barely knew they were there most of the time and they worked seamlessly and beautifully with our photographers. The highlight video we received a month after our wedding day made us absolutely bawl and it was a great "happy one month of marriage" gift! My husband and I love it so much, it's on repeat on our phones. We are so thankful we ended up getting videography services as it was something we always wanted, but weren't sure we had the budget for. We went forward with it anyways knowing how much we would want to see videos of our day and boy are we sure we did invest in this! Choosing BE Studios was one of the best wedding decisions we made for sure! We are waiting on the rest of our raw footage and cannot wait to see what else they captured from our day! Thanks BE Studios! -

Billy and his crew are truly amazing! We were SO HAPPY with our engagement pics, but we were truly blown away by our wedding pics and highlight video. It felt so natural taking pics with Billy. He has an eye for capturing who you are as a couple, in a real moment, without forcing anything. We would recommend him to anyone....and already have! -

Patricia Sent on 06/15/2019Wonderful, amazing engagement pictures!
Billy is the best decision we have made for our wedding this far. He is so incredibly talented, and makes all the process feel so simple. We are not the most photogenic people in the world, but our pictures are just so amazing! I still wonder how he created all this magic.
I'm so grateful we got him as our photographer, he really understood what we were looking for, and gave us the most beautiful breathtaking pictures we could have asked for. Thank you very much for everything Billy! -

If there was a way to give more than 5 stars I would. Billy and his crew were PERFECTION. I could immediately tell from watching Billy’s videos, that he has a unparalleled talent for video/photography, but he’s is also amazing to work with as well. Best of both worlds. He was calm and collected on the day of the wedding, which made everyone relax and enjoy the day. He was able to give direction, come up with amazing shot variation on the fly, all while making it look easy. Look no further. Book this guy while you can, because in no time we are going to see him accepting awards on TV. -

Amanda Sent on 04/10/2019Unmatched value, creativity and finished product - we are so happy!
Billy and Ciara from BE Studios were the absolute best photographers I could have wished for to document my wedding (and engagement). Their expertise with artistic shots as well as perfectly capturing the pure joy, excitement and overall great time everyone had at the wedding was unmatched. We spent a lot of time researching photographers and portfolios before deciding on BE Studios and I am so incredibly thankful that we made the right choice. The photos are breathtaking, and we have since become borderline narcissists as we obsessively look at photos of ourselves multiple times every day. Even our friends and family have commented that they think our wedding photos are “literally the most beautiful” they’ve ever seen. Seriously, I cannot recommend Billy and BE Studios enough – if I could give 100 stars (out of 5) in each category I would. -

Kristine Sent on 11/23/2018Amazing work!!!
We went back and forth about having a video for our wedding, and in the end decided...YOLO! Seriously though, a video or even a highlight reel are a MUST for your wedding. It's so worth every penny. We hired Billy as our wedding Videographer and we're so glad we went with him! I did a ton of research, I'm super picky, but I went with Billy because of the quality of his work and he gave us a good price. He was super easy to work with, very responsive, and super funny too! We are so in love with our highlight video, I watch it everyday!!! We appreciate you, Billy! -

Chelsea Sent on 11/17/2018The highest of recommendations for Billy!
This review is way past over due. Billy is not only an AMAZING photographer, but an amazing person as well. We did our engagement photos and wedding photos with Billy and were blown away both times. Billy knows how to capture those perfect intimate moments that still take our breath away. While his work speak for itself, we have also been asked on multiple occasions for our photographers contact info for their upcoming wedding. He was flexible with our schedules while doing our engagement shoot, quick to respond (which goes a long way in wedding preparation), and made us feel comfortable during this entire experience. Billy not only worked well with us, but worked well with our coordinator, videographer, and other key vendors. We give him our highest recommendation. Thank you Billy for giving us pictures that we will cherish for a lifetime! -

We hired Billy as our wedding videographer, and we cannot say enough amazing things about his creativity, upbeat personality, and amazing quality of work! Billy produced a wedding highlight video, as well as a full length feature video for us... and we are absolutely THRILLED with how they turned out!! I have seen many wedding videos and I was blown away with how Billy managed to capture every detail and emotion of our day perfectly. The video felt uniquely ours and had so many personal touches (like my grandma giving a special congrats at the end)... and I cannot thank him enough for that. Rather than a traditional guest book, we asked our guests to give warm wishes and advice to us in the video. Billy handled this task extremely well, making sure that he proactively asked each guest if they wanted to say something while remaining professional and unobtrusive. We will cherish these videos for the rest of our lives and we look forward to watching them every anniversary. Billy exceeded our expectations and I highly recommend his services to anyone! -

Only one word to describe BE Studios and the work Billy did....AMAZING!!!
I've worked with lots of different photographers over the years but I've never seen anyone like Billy. His creativity, positive energy and experience make the entire day amazing. When it comes to wedding photos or just having your picture taken many people to feel awkward and uncomfortable in front of the camera, but the way Billy works and interacts with you makes you feel comfortable and relaxed allowing him to capture natural and genuine moments on your special day. Billy had our sneak peek of photos ready within 48 hours and when we shared them with our guests they were all blown away. Having Billy be a part of our families special day was one of the best decisions we made and we highly recommend him. -

Tamara Sent on 10/16/2018in a word - PERFECT.
We had the absolute privilege to have Billy as our photographer for our engagement photos AND our wedding day. I can't even begin to explain how amazing he was throughout the entire process. Billy made me and my wife feel so special and so beautiful throughout our special days. By the time the wedding day was there, Billy just felt like one of the family to us. He did such an incredible job capturing each moment at our wedding exactly how we wanted it. When we saw the pictures, we couldn't believe how in the moment he always was. My wife was a photography major in college and Billy definitely has her seal of approval. His knowledge of lighting and taking into account the full picture is absolutely flawless. I could never picture our wedding day without Billy. I have zero bad things to say about him.
A super special thank you to Billy for everything he has done. We think you had fun too ;)

Janessa Sent on 10/10/2018Having Billy as my photographer was one of the highlights of my wedding day! He made everything so simple from booking, to payments, to the actual wedding day, he even gives a discount for military and first responders and nurses! (I am a nurse so that meant so much to me!) Him and his partner were both were both patient and very professional when it came to organizing my larger wedding party (26 people) and Billy was especially great with getting the kid’s attention and getting them involved in the photos! Billy made sure every detail in every photo was spot on and my pictures were absolutely flawless! I get compliments on my wedding photos all the time, and even my wedding party complimented me on how great he was to work with! I cannot thank him enough for capturing my wedding day so beautifully!

Kelly Sent on 07/16/2018Billy is amazing! My husband and I did a courthouse wedding and we hired him for our pictures. He managed to capture the scenery inside and outside the courthouse, the children's playground and across the street at the harbor. He was very interactive with my family for group photos and keeping an eye out to tell those to put their cellphones down for the photo. He is also great with kids especially when they are distracted. He is very punctual and we got our pictures with sneak peaks in a short amount of time. We would definitely hire him again for any special events!

Courtney Sent on 07/03/2018We had got to see Billy in action a number of times when he flew out for our friends weddings. After seeing their photos and how amazing Billy's work was, we decided to book with him. Thankfully he was available to fly out for our wedding! (we are in Winnipeg, Manitoba)
We decided to take a little trip to San Diego to do our engagement photos with Billy. This was a great experience to get a feel of how he worked with us. It was so much fun, and Billy made us feel so comfortable. He was great with direction and got some amazing shots! It totally put me at ease for the wedding, knowing that I'd have no worries with Billy behind the camera!
Billy out did himself again with our wedding photos! He was so easy to work with leading up to the day, during the day, and afterwards. He was very calm, genuine and made our whole wedding party and family feel so relaxed. He captured so many beautiful moments that will be memories for many years to come! Everyone kept commenting to me how great our photographer was with the whole group! I always get told how beautiful our photos are! We are so in love with them! Best decision to have Billy capture the day for us! Thanks Billy! :) -

Cory Sent on 06/28/2018Stop searching!! SERIOUSLY!!! This is your guy!!! The photos this man took were insane!!! His digital enhancement of photos afterward wow!! My wife and I look like we were on the cover of freaking GQ magazine for wedding of the year with the pictures he took. Oh and let’s talk timelines.... this guy was flexible we didn’t stick to a single timeline outside of getting married the same day we planned it. When it came to orchestrating pictures he did a marvelous job of taking control of a room or group of people and getting everyone where they needed to be for the perfect shot!! You want amazing photos at a great price and someone who actually is a professional not just with the camera but in business and character well then congratulations you found your photographer!! My advice to people planning a wedding the one place you got to spend the money is the photographer, get a cheaper cake, get a cheaper venue, whatever it is just don’t cheap out on photographs. 20 years from now what will you be wanting to look at it to show people your wedding day? It won’t be how nice the utensils were that people ate with, it will be how wonderful those photos are and if the moment was captured just right in one snap of a photo. I know for me and my wife we know when we go to grab our photos 20 years from now we won’t be disappointed in the professionalism of our photos!!
Thanks Billy!! -
