    Perfect videographers for our Western & South Asian weddings

    We met John & Brittainy through our photographer, Courtney Larson. They were so accommodating and lovely to work with from day one. We fell in love with their films and got to spend some more time with them during an engagement session - and absolute loved the short film they put together! Super professional and such genuinely kind people; it was special to have both of them there filming both our Western and South Asian wedding ceremonies in Arizona. They wanted to tell our story and spent time getting to know us so they could do just that. Couldn't recommend them highly enough!

    Blessed with the Best

    John and Britney were amazing from the very first time we spoke to them over the phone.
    It was an instant connection. Not only did they see our vision for our special day they
    executed it flawlessly. They captured the very essence of us and our wild crazy family and friends. They made us feel so at ease and encouraged us to just be ourselves and enjoy our special day and they would handle the rest. And boy did they exceed our expectations. Now we have the most amazing video for years to come to remember the day exactly as it was. So thank you John and Britney for not only making the day so special for us but also becoming two very important people in our journey. We can’t wait to do this again with you both at our 5 year anniversary. Xoxo -The Pond’s

    Desi Wedding

    I don’t even know where to begin about John and Brittainy. I want to first start off by saying how truly kind these two individuals are. Weddings can be such a stressful time and it was important for my husband and I to surround ourselves around people that wouldn’t add extra pressure or tension around an already chaotic event. Unfortunately, a reality for that desire doesn’t exist given how many family members, friends, and people (even acquaintances!!) take part in a typical, big desi wedding.

    There were times prior to our wedding events that we were under a lot of stress but John and Brittany were such a calming presence in the storm. They spoke to us about their own marriages and asked us questions about our love story- the kinds of things you should be focused on during your wedding. They had the ability to ground us and remind us about what we were actually celebrating.

    John and Brittany captured our wedding in a way I didn’t think was possible. Every time my husband and I watch our wedding video we feel as though we’re transported back in time to our wedding weekend. They were able to capture all the feelings and emotions that were happening. I know it’s cliche but I get butterflies in my stomach watching our video. I can’t believe how beautifully the video is orchestrated. The detail in showcasing the venue, the food, our outfits, my jewelry, our family, our friends, our wedding customs & traditions, our first dance, the speeches- EVERYTHING was highlighted. There was so much to capture and they captured it.

    There were so many amazing shots in our video- I don’t know how else to explain it bedsides I feel like our wedding video is a movie. I never expected anyone’s video to look the way ours does. It’s so amazing, it’s literally a movie.

    John and Brittany also worked with us after to incorporate our favorite music and parts of our wedding that we wanted to be a part of our video. They were so patient and encouraging through the whole process.

    I can obviously go on forever about these two but I’ll end this by saying our wedding video is will be one of my most cherished mementos forever. I feel like our wedding weekend lives through our video. Every time I watch it my husband and I are the bride and groom again (even though it’s been 2 years!). I couldn’t love it more if I tried and I wouldn’t change a second of it. Thank you John and Brittainy for giving us something we’ll cherish forever. You guys were meant to do this.

    Thrilled with Our Wedding Video!

    We had not originally planned to get a professional videographer for our wedding. But when relatives could not travel because of COVID we decided to splurge. John and Brittainy we so amazing to help us last minute and what they did with the editing picked the very best moments to remember and share with all our friends/relatives. I am so happy we used them and would advise anybody that they will be thrilled with the outcome if they use Jocund Bliss.

    Jocund Bliss's reply:

    Stacy and Ed,
    This whole COVID thing has been so hard especially for wedding couples. We're so happy that we could help you share your wedding with the friends and family who couldn't be there. You guys have such a love for life and it showed throughout your entire backyard wedding.

    John & Brittainy at Jocund Bliss are the best!!!

    We loved our experience with John & Brittainy very much. They are professional, communicative, talented and hard-working. I really appreciate how they took the time to get to us, our story, and our needs prior to any planning or filming. They create and specialize your film based on your relationship dynamic and your needs/wants. They are very quick to respond if we had any questions or concerns and their pricing is fair and affordable. John filmed our entire day from morning to night and he included drone footage of the beautiful landscape of Sedona as well as photos. They also provide you a beautiful website for easy access for viewing and downloading your film/photos. They go above and beyond for you on your special day. We were so impressed with how our film turned out. If you are on the fence with which videographer to choose, you should definitely go with Jocund Bliss!

    Jocund Bliss's reply:

    Hey Krista and Shervin!
    We loved partnering with you to tell your love story and create your wedding film. Thank you for choosing us and trusting us with your personal and intimate moments.

    Exceptional work!

    Jocund Bliss gave us a wedding video that was more amazing and special than what we could have ever imagined. We have been watching it on repeat! They truly captured the essence of the day and what we wanted for our wedding video.

    Jocund Bliss's reply:

    Cheyenne and Angel, we were so glad that everything came together for your wedding elopement film. We loved learning about the two of you and sharing that story in your video. We're so glad you loved it!

    A Picture-Perfect Experience!

    It would be incredibly hard for either my wife or me to imagine having a better experience with a videographer than we had with John and Brittainy at Jocund Bliss! Even from our very first discussions (in the middle of a pandemic, no less), their warmth, professionalism, flexibility, and attention to detail added immeasurably to the joys of our special day -- to say nothing of the amazing final product! When we sat down to watch our video for the first time, Sarah and I were astonished at the ways -- both large and small -- that they found to personalize and tell *our* story. In short, our video beautifully captured in miniature all that we valued about that day, giving us a treasure to keep for a lifetime. We are so grateful for Jocund Bliss!

    Jocund Bliss's reply:

    Stephen,
    Thank you so much for your kind words. We were privileged to be a part of yours and Sarah's wedding weekend in Virginia. It was an amazing time filled with so much love and Grace.

    Jocund Bliss turned our wedding into art we will treasure and share!

    To simply write a review would not do this filmmaker justice. I must emphatically recommend Jocund Bliss for your wedding or elopement video. The filmmakers took the time to get to know us, to really understand our “why.” They came through during the COVID pandemic (safely masked and socially distant) when every venue had shut down. They didn’t just shoot a wedding video, they told our story. Every person I’ve shared it with has cried and gushed about the artistic quality. Even the presentation of the final video was personalized, artistic, and an incredible gift. Remember your special day captured in a way you’ll be proud to share. We are so grateful to Jocund Bliss!

    Jocund Bliss's reply:

    Cass and Justin,
    We loved every minute of your backyard wedding. Knowing how important your home is to you both and getting to share in the celebration of your union was truly a privilege. We love you guys and look forward to seeing where the Lord takes you and your kids together as a family.
    Blessings,

    Fantastic Experience

    John is so professional and so fun to work with! We loved the experience and adventure that came with filming the video with him! He’s so easy to get along with and created a beautiful video.

    Jocund Bliss's reply:

    Jordan, you guys rock. We had such a blast with you two on that bridal shoot in Sedona. So happy for you guys as man and wife.

    Could not be happier with our video and photos

    John and Brittainy created a love story video for us that is one of the most beautiful things we have ever seen! We are beyond grateful to have this keepsake and to look back on this video that represents our love. They were such a pleasure to work with and made us feel so comfortable. Thank you again, John & Brittainy, for the memories that will last us forever.

    Jocund Bliss's reply:

    Keana,
    We love how you and Dylan became friends over the course of just a few days in Hawaii. Witnessing your love for each other, your family, and community on the Big Island was such a joy. Your elopement film is going to be hard to beat. ;-)
    Blessings and Aloha!

    John is awesome! We loved working with him and had a blast! He did an amazing job! He is creative and did a fantastic job on giving us the best pictures and video that we will cherish forever!

    Thank you, Natalie! That was one of our all-time favorite shoots to be a part of and edit. It had such a genuine, love-filled feel to it. Having an intimate setting like that made for a super special experience.

    The only wedding photographer I would recommend!

    John and Brittainy were absolutely fantastic to work with. They covered every aspect of our wedding - from the dress rehearsal, to getting ready, all the way through heading out for the evening. I was able to communicate with John several weeks before the event what arrangements I wanted with various family members. He was more than happy to accomodate my requests. One of the things I appreciated most was his ability to direct the family sets in a way that was very efficient and did not bother even our most difficult family members. He had the firmness of a drill sergeant yet the kindness of a preacher's wife (which is precisely what is needed to handle family at these types of events!). My husband and I will absolutely treasure these memories for our entire lives. Thanks John and Brittainy!

    Jocund Bliss's reply:

    You're the best, Courtney! We love you guys so much! It was such a privilege to be a part of your wedding.

    We loved shooting our bridal video with this vender!!! Hight recommend!

    My husband and I had booked Jocund Bliss to do our bridal video! We were worried we wouldnt be able to find anyone who would be willing to do it because our location was way out in the middle of the sand dunes! We drove quads out to a romote spot where we ran around and had the best time. I really thank John and his wife Brittany for taking all the fottage and creating a video that we will cherish for the rest if our lives! I highly recommend them!

    Jocund Bliss's reply:

    Thank you, Morgan! This was such an epic shoot. We were thankful that you wanted us to do the film for you. Hope you guys are doing well!
