    Best Wedding Videographer!! BOOK BOOK BOOK!

    Steven was so wonderful to work with! I knew right away when I watched a video off his website that I NEEDED to book Steven if he was available, and luckily...he was!

    I am the bride and he made my groom and I feel comfortable during our wedding day. We are overjoyed with the outcome of our wedding video. He was very responsive during my wedding planning process, happy to do a quick phone call or Zoom to go over details or changes.

    Check out his YouTube or social media if you don't believe me, but his work is WAY worth it! I got my video back exactly around when he said I would receive...

    An incredible videographer!

    Working with Steven was such an easy decision for us! Steven was responsive from the very start of wedding planning, even jumping on a call with us late on a Sunday to go over our questions and review his pricing and packages. His experience filming at our venue was a huge plus for us, but it was his confidence, his easygoing manner, and friendliness that sealed the deal.


    Leading up to the wedding, Steven was helpful in answering questions and was even gracious enough to accept a last-minute addition to our package which would result in more work for him. He was easy to communicate with and always responsive.

    Skilled Videographer, Easy to Work With

    We hired Steven to film our wedding ceremony late in the game, giving him only 3 weeks of advance notice. We were incredibly fortunate that he was able to squeeze us into his packed summer wedding schedule. Steven was professional, responsive and very accommodating.

    We watched the video he created for us and were both in awe of how beautifully he captured the ceremony. It's a memory that we'll treasure forever. Thank you Steven for being a joy to work with, from start to finish, and for capturing the magic of our big day.

    Amazing at their craft!

    They did such an amazing job shooting a mutual couple at Joullian Vineyards. Not only were they super friendly and professional, but their work is phenomenal. Can't wait to see the finished product!

    The 3 year wedding in the making

    Planning a wedding is no easy task. Throw a pandemic into the mix and you get mission impossible. Our wedding was supposed to be in August 2020 but was postponed for a year due to the pandemic. Hearing horror stories from other couples on how they lost their deposits due to wedding postponements and cancellations, my fiancé and I were nervous about our vendors. Thankfully, we were lucky. Steven deserves the highest praise as a professional and a human being. He had no issue with the date change being a year out and kept in touch with us every few months just to make sure we were okay. He did not force us to pay the full amount by...

    So amazing to work with!!

    To start, I cannot say how much literally EVERYONE in our wedding enjoyed working with Steven and his crew.

    He was the first videographer we spoke with when we got engaged, and right from the start he set the bar very high for other videographers! He was so bright and happy and really made himself easy to talk to and work with. Every step of the way he was super responsive and answered any question we had. Our wedding actually got postponed for a year due to Covid, and Steven was very kind and supportive while we discussed potential new wedding dates. Also, our venue was fairly high-profile and had quite a few regulations that we all had...

    An absolutely perfect fit

    So happy I found this amazing videographer & his team. So far in advance we met up and came up with a plan. He listened to our personalized needs and came up with several ideas to enhance our video and make it that much more special. We cried and cried when we finally got to see this video. It was more like a work of art; a true masterpiece. Steven always made us feel comfortable when he was filming on our wedding day; like he was a friend, not a videographer, who was capturing our every move and compliling a great library of special moments for us. He was respectful, knowledgeable, kind, and so obviously experienced. Steven makes A+...

    My husband and I got married on August 12, 2017 and used Higher City Films. When searching for a videographer, I found Steven's work and loved it.
    My husband and I live in Petaluma, so we were not able to meet Steven in person. Thankfully, he was used to this and scheduled a skype meeting for us. During this meeting he asked us a few questions and found out our vision for our wedding and video.
    We met up with him once before our wedding and it was great. He was there to answer any questions we had.
    We received our wedding video via email about 10 and half weeks after our wedding. I could not wait!...

    So grateful for Steven!

    I cannot say enough good things about Steven! His work is amazing. The videos that he shot looked beautiful and he was able to really capture the magic of the day. You can tell by the editing and his choice of shots that he is incredibly smart and creative. Not only did his videos look awesome but he is a wonderful human being. We felt completely taken care of by him and loved having him and his energy there on our special day. I'm so grateful that I found him and would recommend to anyone.

    Above and Beyond!

    We had a lot of options for videography and photography, especially here locally to us. We decided to venture off and find something closer to our venue in Carmel and found Steven. When we came across Steven's videography and editing skills, we were blown away. We loved his attention to detail and audio work incorporated in the video. His prices were reasonable and decided to proceed forward with him.

    From the start of our engagement photos to the end of our wedding night, Steven and his team were very professional. He made us feel comfortable around the camera and he had great attention to detail.

    On our wedding day, Steven showed up early and wanted to...

    Great videographer!

    While planning our initial wedding budget, we were hesitant to hire a videographer, especially considering the cost. Luckily for us we were recommended Steven through our photographer Randy(R.R Photography). In short, we were so please with the overall experience. The pricing was fairly reasonable especially considering the quality of work that Steven provided. He was always punctual, organized, and open minded when it came to answering our questions and providing recommendations. He even went to great lengths to personally create a timeline of events for our wedding day to ensure that everything went according to plan.

    During the wedding, Steven made us feel very comfortable and not once did we feel shy around the camera. He was very...

    Memorable moments beautifully captured and amazingly put together. Thank you .

    It has been 1 year and 4 months since our wedding. I am so happy that my husband and I went with Steven . He did a phenomenal job capturing our moments on our wedding day. He even added a surprise drone shots on our highlight video. Not only he was very easy to work with, but he is such a genuine person and would love to work with him again. He made me feel comfortable and myself while he was taking those shots. He did an amazing job over all. He did so good that until this day, when going back watching our wedding videos , I always find myself reminiscing on our wedding day and crying. He gave us the videos very quick. Thank you Steven for helping us capture our once in a lifetime moments

    Steven was fantastic to work with. He pays a lot of attention to detail and made us feel very comfortable during our session. We had a great time during our shoot and loved all of the beautiful and secluded places Steven took us. It was great working with someone who is so passionate about their work. Would recommend Steven for any photo/video needs!

    We cannot thank Steven and his team enough. We found Steven after he filmed my cousins wedding. After seeing the amazing work he did for my cousins wedding, we knew we had to met up with Steven.

    During the first consultation, he really took the time to get to know us. Steven asked us questions about the proposal, how we met, the bridal party, and any special moments we wanted him to capture. He showed us other examples of wedding films he recently did since we had already seen my cousins. He has great attention to detail and is really friendly.
    We immediately knew he would do an amazing job of capturing our big day.

    Higher City Wedding Films was the best decision we ever made related to our wedding videography search experience. Steven was able to meet with us several times to plan and made sure everything came out perfectly. The quality of the service was phenomenal. I honestly highly recommend Steven and his team they were able to record our special day in a professional manner. I was impressed that at our wedding, we did not see them as much, and they were able to record essential memorable moments.

    If it was possible to give Steven and Higher City Wedding Films 100 Stars, we would. Our experience was flawless from start to finish. Steven is highly professional, incredibly kind, easy going, and a true master of his craft. Steven was always easy to get ahold of, and never needed much direction. We trusted him and his team completely. During the ceremony and throughout the celebration, the crew was so discrete and respectful it never felt like were being filmed! When we got our video, we kept rewatching it for days, and each time we felt transported back to the best day of our lives. This video was the best money ever spent!! We will cherish our wedding video forever. Steven, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you!!!!!

    We took a chance when selecting Steven's services as coming over from the UK we only had previous reviews to rely on and looking at his website. We selected him initially as his videos seemed to offer something different, unique and personal. It wasn't your standard run of the mill job where you had to fit into his schedule. From the very first Skype session we knew we were in safe hands. Steven took the time to really get to know us and personalise our day.
    Having just received the video link we are so thrilled. It has brought back some many wonderful memories and we can't thank him enough.

    We cannot thank Steven and his Higher City Films team enough! We found Steven after searching and reading reviews on numerous wedding videographers for our wedding on Monterey. After initially contacting Steven, he set up time to "meet" with my husband and I through FaceTime due to where we lived.
    During the 1-hour meeting, Steven took the time to learn about the both of us and asked questions on what we expect and envision our wedding videos to be like. He was very thorough and extremely professional. He was very quick on providing us a rough schedule of what the day would look like, and sent us a few wedding films he produced recently.

    Steven did our engagement pictures this spring and they came out fantastic! We couldn't be happier with the quality of his work. We have heard nothing but great things about his videography skills and I would say that as a photographer he was great! We felt comfortable the entire time and he let us have fun with the shoot. He listened to our concerns and rid us of any worries we had about the pictures would come out! It was great!! Thank you!

    We made a last minute decision to hire Steven as our videographer, that was by far one of the best decisions we made. He made sure to capture and highlight moments that meant so much. The way our video was put together made us re-live our day. I shared our video with lots of people. Everyone that I shared it with either cried in front of me or called me in tears because the video was just so-well put together that made people that couldn't make it to our wedding "feel the love". Steven is professional, his easy-going personality made us feel that much more comfortable. He had a lot of good ideas--you can tell, this is his passion! We highly recommend him--you will not be disappointed!

    One of the best decisions we made! Since there is so much going on the day, we couldn't remember everything unfortunately. Steven and his team captured such special moments for us that we couldn't imagine not having. Our video is fun, joyful and definitely emotional... we were completely blown away. I do have to also say, that neither me or my husband remember having a camera in our face at all which really let us just enjoy the moment! Steven definitely took the time to get to know us (a 90 minute FaceTime call before I even booked!), what we wanted and collaborated beautifully with our photographer (hadn't worked with him prior). Even after the wedding, he was able...

    Our experience with Steven was genuinely one of a kind. My husband and I were at a bridal expo in Monterey and I saw plenty of wedding film booths and most of them didn't catch my attention, I debated if I even wanted a wedding video at that point. It wasn't until my husband ran into a friend by a video booth and I caught a glimpse of a video from the corner of my eye that looked stunning, I walked over to the booth and saw another couples video on display and it was so beautiful I started crying right there at the expo. I knew I had to have a video of my wedding that would capture...

He was very professional, easy to work with, and made us feel very comfortable! Thank you Higher City Films for being a part of our special day.
