    Amazing wedding highlight video

    Jon was amazing to work with. His communication back and forth was always with the right timing and I felt like we were in good hands leading up to and following the wedding. He captured our Hawaiian elopement so well. Our jaws both dropped the first time watching our highlight video. He captured all the most important moments and we are both so happy and will cherish the video for years to come. The ceremony video we got was also perfect to remember our day! Thank you for being amazing to work with Jon, I would not hesitate to hire you again and would not consider other options!

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Working with you two was a blast, and I'm beyond happy you're pleased with the videos. Cheers to your beautiful journey ahead!

    Incredible experience

    We cannot say enough good things about working with Jon bodhi on our October 2023 wedding. From initial booking call to final product Jon was so easy to work with and his work has seriously blown us away. We have absolutely zero regrets on working with him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a videographer! He was such a calming presence on the big day and made us feel so comfortable. His work is impeccable and we have already watched it so many times! If you are at all considering hiring Jon do it, you will be so happy

    Bodhi Wedding Films's reply:

    Hi Codee. Thanks for the kind words! It was a pleasure working with you both. So glad I could be part of your big day!

    Truly amazing

    Jon did an INCREDIBLE job capturing our wedding with his videography skills. He was so professional and talked me through all the questions that I had. He was more than happy to make sure all the details I wanted would be captured he went above and beyond to make our wedding video everything we wanted it to be. I’ve had multiple friends and family say it’s the best wedding video they have ever seen. I would highly recommend Jon for any and all events!

    Bodhi Wedding Films's reply:

    Hey, thanks for the kind words! Really glad you enjoyed the video. Anytime you need videography, count me in! Cheers!

    Great experience!

    We hired Jon as our videographer for our wedding in July 2023. From the start Jon was responsive, easy to communicate with and flexible. He was wonderful to work with! Jon has a calm and laidback demeanor, and it was very easy to feel comfortable throughout the process; from planning through day off. Jon does beautiful work, and is most certainly talented! Makes me wish I had more reasons to have the need for a videographer so that I had the opportunity to work with him again.

    Bodhi Wedding Films's reply:

    Hi Michelle. Thank you so much for the kind words. I had a great time working with you both on your special day. If you ever need a videographer in the future, you know where to find me. Wishing you all the happiness in the world! Mahalo.

    The best of the best!

    I could not have asked for a better videographer, hands down. Jon was easy to communicate with and overall just so easy to work with, and when you're planning ten thousand other details with a wedding it was nice to know that the videography was taken care of with such ease. Also, the end product was just amazing. Everytime I watch it I cry and can relive that day with such joy and happiness. If you're considering Jon, just do it, you will not be disappointed!

    Bodhi Wedding Films's reply:

    Thank you! Your words mean everything. It was a joy capturing your special day, and I'm so glad you're happy with the result. Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness!

    Brilliantly captured emotion of our day and gave us a lifelong memory

    Jon captured our wedding brilliantly. He effortlessly has an eye for capturing the emotion of a day and making sure we look good in the process. He is a true artist as well as a true professional. He had great communication, and was friendly and seamless to work with. I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you for creating this memory for us, Jon!

    Bodhi Wedding Films's reply:

    Hey Courtney, thanks a ton for your kind words! I had a great time capturing those special moments for you both, and thrilled that the emotions came through in the shots. It was a pleasure working with you guys and creating those memories. Wishing you all the best on this new journey together! Cheers, Jon

    Met and exceeded our expectations

    Jon was the perfect fit for our wedding.
    He instinctively knew where to be to capture great shots yet not be in the way, not once.
    He was fast, had great prompts and staging ideas.
    A few days after our wedding he sent several tickler photos.
    We were thrilled and both agreed that if those were all we received we would be satisfied.
    However in 3 weeks he had dozens of great candid shots of our ceremony, guests, venue, hotel, reception dinner and sunset.
    We really can’t say enough how much we appreciate Jon.

    Bodhi Wedding Films's reply:

    Hi Jamie! Thank you so much for your kind words and positive feedback about my work as your wedding photographer. Your satisfaction and happiness mean the world to me, and I couldn't be more grateful for the chance to work with such wonderful clients like you both. Thank you again for choosing me as your wedding photographer and for taking the time to write such a kind and thoughtful review.

    1000 % satisfaction

    Jon,
    It’s been just over a month since you photographed our wedding at the beautiful Manna Lani. Both Jamie and I separate them together view your video over and over. It is absolutely amazing how the emotions were captured by you and how they still affect us when we view them. I think the goal of every photographer is to be able to take a picture of emotion and you, my friend accomplish that.

    Thanks for a memorable video and great photography . You’re truly a professional Jon thank you so much.

It was a pleasure to be a part of your wedding day, and I hope that the memories and emotions captured in the photos and video will continue to bring you joy for years to come. 💖

    Our Special Day Captured Perfectly!

    I am extremely grateful that we chose Jon as our videographer. He was so easy to work with and captured everything that we wanted! We got our video within less than a month! I was nervous about hiring someone I never met before, but I am so grateful I found Jon, he calmed our nerves and did an excellent job. I can not recommend him more!! Having our wedding video is something that we will cherish for the rest of our lives and we have Jon to thank for that. Book Jon, you won't regret it!

    So glad we went with Jon!

    Jon is an incredible photographer. My husband and I are very camera shy and his easy-going personality and professional demeanor made us so comfortable on our wedding day! He delivered an amazing, thorough set of well-edited photos incredibly quickly (the sneak peak came within a week and the entire album - which we are obsessed with - came within a month). His second shooter, Adriana, was also so easy to get along with and got some great shots. We hired him for photography, but I have no doubt that if we had hired him for videography it would have been a great experience too! Thank you so much, Jon, for being such an amazing part of our day!

    Bodhi Wedding Films's reply:

    Hi Emily! I am absolutely thrilled to read your heartfelt review! I'm so glad I was able to help create a comfortable environment for you and your husband on your wedding day. Your words about the photos mean so much to me, and it warms my heart to know that I was able to deliver that for you both. Thank you again for entrusting me with capturing your wedding memories. It was an absolute joy to be a part of your big day, and I'm honored that I could contribute to making it a wonderful experience for you both!

    Amazing Videographer!

    Jon did a great job on our wedding photos and videos! The production quality is incredible! You also didn’t even notice him filming throughout the day. He’s calm and easy going. We really enjoyed working with him, and the product at the end was fantastic.

    We loved working with Jon on our adventure elopement. He had the perfect calm energy while also being up for anything. We love our video and feel he really captured the day. He has an amazing attention for detail, there are so many things I may have forgotten had he not been there to capture them. We are so grateful that we got to work with him.

    Absolutely IN LOVE with our wedding video!

    Jon is SO talented and has such a great eye for capturing the most intimate and special moments. He was so easy to work with and very accommodating of the specific needs for our intimate immediate family only wedding. He was responsive as soon as I sent a request and was absolutely wonderful day-of. Even my dad (who is typically hard to impress) continuously compliments the video and has sent it to a number of extended family/friends!

    Amazing cinematography

    We found Jon on Instagram and loved his work! We had our wedding in Honolulu and Jon came from the Big Island to film our wedding. I loved that he just floated in the background and was there to gently guide us.

    We were one of the first couples affected by Covid and Jon was super flexible and accommodating in rescheduling. We are so grateful for him capturing our beautiful day and also providing us with zoom streaming since we lost 80% of our guests with continued border restrictions. Highly recommend!!!

    Bodhi Wedding Films's reply:

    Hello Shiori! Thank you for choosing me to be a part of your special day. It was an absolute pleasure to be there to capture all of the beautiful moments and memories from your wedding in Honolulu. Thank you for your kind words and for recommending me to others. It means the world to me! Congratulations once again on your marriage, and best wishes for your future together!

    Simply amazing

    Jon Bodhi is by far one of the most talented artists I have ever met. He filmed my wedding and he was professional from the very start and very kind and easy going. The way he interacted with everyone at the wedding was almost as if he knew every body and that is such a great feeling to know that your vendors are fitting in! And his work...wow, simple WOW. The Instagram version of the video was absolutely amazing and the music was perfectly aligned with what we asked for- it did a great job of giving a little peak of what was to come by showing our love but not giving it all away in the video. Our completed wedding video IS AMAZING! My wife and I literally watched it about 20 times the first night it came out and all the emotions came out. All of our friends and family that were there have mentioned multiple times that he captured all the magic and beautiful moments from that day- it literally could not have been more in point. Every time we watch it, I think- wow..he literally caught every beautiful and magic moment on camera and just put it together where it flows so beautifully. People who were not at our wedding that have watched it said that it felt as if they were there! That’s how amazing Jon is! If you want all the magic captured...go with Jon..you won’t regret it! My wife and I have already said that when we figure out our plan for our honeymoon, if it is back in Hawaii then we will reach out to him for an adventure shoot 🙌🏽😍

    Here is the link to the beautiful video he created :

    Jon is Amazing!

    I am so happy I decided to go with Jon to do my wedding video! Him and his team were very professional and FUN to be around. He worked very well with my other photographer and they coordinated the different shots to do. Jon is definitely a hype man that I wish I could have around me all the time Haha. He makes you feel very comfortable in front of the camera, and makes sure he gets all the video that is needed. You can tell that he is very passionate about what he does and it is truly an art for him, which is another reason why I loved working with him. He makes sure you get the video that you love 10000%, and really pours his heart into his work. I absolutely loved working with him, and was ALWAYS able to reach him when I needed to before the wedding. It was expected to POUR on my wedding day and I was really upset about it but when I called Jon about he really put my mind at ease, he told me the best shots are in the rain and it will be beautiful regardless which really helped me relax about it. Thankfully it didn't pour though lol. Thank you Jon for my wedding film, I can't stop watching it!

He took so many beautiful photos ! It was so hard to choose which ones to send out on our invites. Highly recommend Jon !
