    FANTASTIC! Would highly recommend!

    I can't say enough good things about Amanda and Dustin... not only who they are as videographers, but who they are as people. They truly went above and beyond for us on our wedding day. They were so easy to work with, extremely responsive, and our wedding video turned out absolutely perfect. The day of the wedding they made us both feel so comfortable, and most importantly it was FUN! They got all the right shots and stepped up and took charge when need be. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend them. (And if you need proof, check out our wedding video and you will understand!)

    Dustin and Amanda are 12/10 vendors but also the best people!!

    I could not recommend Dustin and Amanda enough. They brought our whole wedding day vision to life and we couldn’t be more blessed to have had them apart of our wedding day. They made us feel so comfortable when filming, but also brought out our true selves. They made us laugh and be in every moment. They made it so fun and they truly added so much to our wedding day. We just finished watching our documentary film, and the amount of times my husband and I cried and laughed was insane. They truly know how to capture the best moments and they help you relive your day so effortlessly. We couldn’t be more thankful to have them as our videographers, but also friends. They made all our wildest dreams come true and then some. If you don’t hire them, you’re missing out. We love you Dustin and Amanda ❤️

    Incredible Experience!

    Amanda and Dustin went above and beyond any expectations we could have had. Not only were they fun, professional and extremely organized, their attention to detail and creative vision created the most beautiful wedding production we could have hoped for! I would not have wished to spend this special day captured by anyone else! We are forever grateful for the beautiful memories you helped us create! Love Adam & Tori!

    Truly Amazing

    Amanda and Dustin were unbelievable in every sense of the word. They were with us from beginning to end of day and went fully above and beyond their responsibilities as videographers. When I say Amanda did more than my wedding day coordinator I mean it. From tieing tux ties for the men to tracking down ceremony items, to getting me a drink and food when I needed it most ON TOP of capturing the most beautiful footage I’ve ever seen. These two are such a power couple who work together seemlesly to get the most professional, gorgeous, tailored footage ever. Thank you so much Amanda and Dustin!

    Look no further!

    Look no further! Dustin and Amanda are truly amazing and made our wedding day perfect. We are so obsessed with our wedding video and short clip. They were so fun and easy to work with leading up to the big day, and on the day of the wedding their calm but fun personalities brought so much ease to both my husband and I. I didn’t want a super sappy wedding film and they took all my suggestions and created the most epic video of all our favorite parts of the evening. Thank you so much again we love you!!

    Perfect Choice

    Dustin and Amanda were excellent from pre-wedding planning to the final edited video masterpiece. A great eye for detail and the finished product reflects it! They were a joy. Our highest recommendation.

    Amazing experience!

    Dustin and Amanda from the very start were so amazing to work with! Super responsive, laid-back, FUN and extremely professional in every aspect. From looking at their past work, we knew we had to go with them as our videographers - we loved how every wedding video was not cookie cutter but instead they matched the vibe and energy of each couple to make a unique masterpiece! We've heard wedding days are typically stressful but Dustin and Amanda were so wonderful putting us at ease throughout the entire day and into the night - even offering to grab us drinks while we were eating dinner - they were there for US the entire day and it was so amazing to have such a caring team that made sure our special day went smoothly and stress-free. We would highly recommend this team without a question!

    Dream Team!

    Amanda and Dustin Dill, the amazing couple behind Cinema Life are everything you need for your wedding day. This couple not only makes amazing videos, but brings you ease and comfort on a stressful day. They are responsive, polite, and feel like the best friends you didn't know you needed. Often times on your wedding day you are alone with your vendors and these two make you feel at ease, give you tips to look your best, and make it overall feel fun . They are so comforting and have such a fun light to bring to your day. We can not recommend them enough.

    Awesome duo

    My husband and I just got married two weeks ago and we can say with absolute certainty that Dustin and Amanda of Cinema Life Weddings were such a special part of that magical day. From the jump, they were so personable and easy to get along with. We loved their attention to detail and story telling style, and on the wedding day, were more than happy to adjust on the fly when little bumps in the road presented themselves. They really went above and beyond, even going as far as making sure we were able to eat our own appetizers. We definitely recommend them for any event, most especially those couples getting married and looking for an amazing cinematography team!

    Amazing Videography Team!

    Dustin and Amanda are the best! I went back and forth on whether to spend the money on a videographer. I am so happy we decided to hire them capture our special day. We are so excited to see our wedding video put together. They made everything so easy, fun, and comfortable for us, being that we are pretty camera shy. They were on time, friendly, organized, and so easy to work with. The week of the wedding we had a FaceTime meeting to get to know each other, in which they got to know us as a couple, answered questions, and went through our day of timeline.

    Amanda, thank you for always being on detail check making sure my hair and dress were in the perfect spot. Dustin, thank you for reassuring me months before the wedding that it would happen and not to give up. Your words of encouragement during this difficult time were really needed. I can’t thank you both enough, you are amazing!

    The best team to work with!

    Dustin and Amanda were so fun to work with for our wedding, they made my husband and I feel so comfortable and made us laugh all day long! They keep it easy throughout the wedding planning and then come ready on the day of the wedding and were so stress free to work with! They also took so many instragram videos on the day of our wedding that we got to enjoy the day after when we had no photos to look at the next day, it's so much fun to relive our wedding through the videos they took. They somehow managed to capture all the feels and emotions on that day!

    Great people and great job!

    We just had our wedding this past weekend and Dustin and Amanda were amazing! They did such a great job keeping everyone organized and assisting our photographer and wedding planner. They both ensured that our day was easy and memorable. They are very skilled and know what they were doing at all times! We will definitely recommend them to all our friends for future weddings!

    Effortlessly perfect!

    Dustin and Amanda are so easy to work with. They are talented and creative and made us feel like we had known them for years. They made sure to capture not only the actual footage of our wedding but the feeling of the day! To be able to go back and listen to our ceremony and our vows is priceless! Thank you guys!

    Spectacular service! They are the absolute BEST!!

    Dustin and Amanda were phenomenal! We honestly could not have asked for a better team of videographers! Not only were they super kind and professional, but they really took the time to get to know us and what we envisioned for the wedding and made note of what we considered to be the most important aspects of our wedding to highlight. I really appreciated our FaceTime meeting the week of the wedding, it helped us to build rapport and trust with one another. They were so respectful and did a spectacular job! My family and guests even mentioned how friendly and considerate they were! Look no further if you're searching for high quality, top tier videography services! You're in the best hands in the industry!

    Wonderful and very communicative!

    My husband and I had such a great experience with Dustin and Amanda! From the beginning to end, they were consistent with their word, work and helpfulness. Not only is their work beautiful but they have such a fun personality to work with. They have a lot of experience in the wedding industry so it was very helpful to hear their opinions on what works and doesn’t. Weddings can be stressful but this pair worked in a way where it wasn’t in our way and they captured the most beautiful moments! We were so pleased with our beautiful package our video/usb came in. They went above and beyond and I would highly recommend them. Thank you both again for capturing our special day!!!

    Fun, relaxed and professional!

    Dustin & Amanda were really everything we could have asked for in a videographer team. I had consultations with several companies, and Dustin just immediately made me feel understood and important. It was a no brainer. On the day of our wedding, my big priority was to keep things light and fun and Dustin & Amanda were the perfect fit. My husband and I felt comfortable and like we just had a couple extra friends hanging around :) I really feel like they went above and beyond for us and we're obsessed with the final product. It is SO worth it to be able to watch videos from our wedding day, it just take us right back there. Dustin & Amanda captured our vibe perfectly. I highly recommend Cinema Life Weddings if you're looking for some cool, talented and professional people to capture one of the best days of your life.

    Amazing job!

    Dustin and Amanda were so amazing to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. We were so happy with the final product, and being able to see the beautiful wedding all of our guests talked about from their perspective. It's easy to miss so much when you are the bride being pulled in so many different directions all day. They captured every detail of the day and more. They were professional, and worked as a team with the other vendors to make sure our day went smooth. We are so thankful that we hired them to capture our special day. Thank you both!! :)

    Dustin is both an artist and an absolute professional. From the first conversion about our wedding, to the big day, to the finished product, he was a joy to work with. It's obvious that he loves what he does and makes sure that each couple gets exactly what they are hoping for. He's got a spectacular eye, but is able to adapt to whatever vision the couple may have.
    He shot on both video and Super 8mm and gave us truly lovely video that we will cherish forever. I'd recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone in SoCal.

    Cinema Life Weddings's reply:

    Thanks Ben! Coming from an editor as talented as you is a great achievement and testament to the quality of our filming. What a great day it was up on in the hills of Malibu, I am so glad the super 8 footage came out the way it did! Looking forward to seeing your awesome editing skills at work! Please send me a link when you finish out the video I would love to see it!!

    We had such a great time working with Dustin and Amanda Dill at Cinema Life Weddings - They were very sweet, professional, patient with the bride (me), and talented as heck!!! I can't wait to see their amazing talents on film! We would choose this team again, over and over. I'll post our video to the review once we receive it <3

    My wife decided to burden me with finding a wedding photographer last minute. Luckily I was able to give Dustin a call and he got back me promptly and professionally with rates, quality work samples, and options that my wife loved. At the wedding he covered all the bases from start to finish not missing a moment. Pictures and video turned out better than we could have asked for and prices were well within our budget. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, high quality photographer.

    Cinema Life Weddings's reply:

    Thanks for the kind words Ed. We are so glad too hear that you were happy with the photographer we suggested. We are also glad that you enjoyed your wedding films! Thank you for having us play a small role in your big day!

    We planned our summer wedding in less than 2 months so trying to find a video and photographer was pretty much impossible since it was such short notice... We found cinema life weddings and thankfully they were available and extremely accommodating with all over our ideas and last minute changes. I would definitely recommend them, I am a photographer myself so I am very particular and a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my photos and video. We decided on the documentary style of video and it was absolutely perfect!

    Cinema Life Weddings's reply:

    Thank you Heather! Your wedding day was a blast I am glad you and Dem are enjoying the photos and videos. I see post here and there on Facebook, you guys looked amazing. Thanks again for letting us tell the story.
