Ashley G. Sent on 10/04/2023Amazing experience
All we have to say is WOW! We cannot recommend Kaci & Sebastian with RLF Films and Photos highly enough. With the amount of stuff we requested, they still made things as smooth and stress-free as possible and did more than a beautiful job. They truly went above and beyond our expectations & the photos we got back truly shocked us! They captured every moment I had asked for and more, If you hire RLF Films and Photos it's the best decision you'll make, you won't be disappointed. The fact that we pushed our wedding date a year earlier than expected & they were still willing to work with us, just goes to show there flexibility, we were truly amazed. -

My husband and I hired RF films ("RF") after seeing Russell's work on over half a dozen weddings for friends. We have also had the privilege of being in the bridal party for several of those friends' weddings as well -- a point that I make to say that we have observed RF handling wedding day madness, up close and personally, more than once.
The short and sweet of it is: RF has been doing this for quite sometime, Russell has a reputation that precedes him, and if you’re smart enough to hire him, you understand why. Working with Russell and his team is an absolute breeze and pleasure, and on the wedding day, a downright blessing, not to mention they are some of the most humble and hard working people you'll come to know.
To put finer points on what it is like to work with RF films, here is a more holistic breakdown of what I wanted to know when reading reviews to select my videographer.
Correspondence with RF and Russell specifically is quick and efficient, and available by email or phone. I’m confident enough to say I don’t really even ever really recall it reaching a 24 hr mark before RF had gotten back to me. Perhaps much more importantly though, Russell actually listens to what you say in the calls AND REMEMBERS IT.
You spend so much time interviewing and researching these vendors. Trusting them with something important to you, something you want to be able to cherish. Then you spend even more time planning and polishing your ideas of how to help them make your vision come to life. It’s sad, but so many of these vendors tell you what you want to hear beforehand and then end up just touting their own usual generic routine. I was impressed and so grateful in the end to have RF who didn’t do that to my husband and me after we waited 13 years to finally marry. Instead, Russell invested time to get to know us.
Russell and his team have just got that special something that makes people like them. For this reason, RF also is great working with other vendors, notwithstanding the fact that some other vendors don’t have quite the same inter-personal skills. They are able to adjust to the personality of the person/people they are working with to keep the mood in a positive space. There is no awkwardness or stiffness about being alone for shots or in groups (big or small) working with this team.
On my wedding day, RF remembered my little quirks, preferences, and pet-peeves. They were there with creative ideas for posing, a smile or a laugh, AND, of course, a drink to keep you sane LOL. Russell and Mike made sure people remembered I was a person and not just a bride on the wedding day. Those moments made for incredible pictures and video — many of them becoming my favorites.
If I had to do my wedding day over (and believe me as crazy as it feels, when it over you’ll wish you could re-live it), I’d re-hire RF a million times again. I have and will continue to recommend RF to anyone and everyone who will listen. THANK YOU RUSSELL AND MIKE FOR CAPTURING (AND MANY TIMES HELPING TO CREATE) THE BEAUTY OF OUR DAY

Russell and Mike are such lights throughout the day, keeping you c -

My favorite vendor hands down!!
I can’t even begin to describe how amazing this company is. My wedding photography was the one thing I was picky with. Not only are the pictures and video’s absolutely incredible but the team is a whole other story. Russel made the effort to call me when I wanted to book and get to know me and my fiancé. By the end of that call I knew I was in the best hands. He called me when our engagement pictures were ready, when our trailer was ready. He genuinely wanted to hear how excited we were and he was so excited himself. We met Monica for our engagement shoot and she is one of the most creative people I have ever met. They don’t treat you like another paycheck. They care about you and your wedding day. We walked away from this with not only amazing content and memories from the best day of our lives but with new friends. I cant recommend them enough! -

Amber R. Sent on 02/20/2023Third time working with RF Films- They do not disappoint!
We had the pleasure of having Russ and his team film our wedding in November 2022 and we could not recommend a vendor more. RF Films covered my two sister-in-laws weddings, so when we got engaged, booking Russ was a no-brainer. Russ is awesome to work with, easy going, fun and an absolute master of his craft. Russ takes pride in his work and ensures that all his couples have a video that completely encapsulates the magic of your wedding day. The RF Films team showed up on time (if not early) and went straight to work. They are experts and know exactly where and how to film all the special details of getting ready, the ceremony and reception. The only thing that will ever come close to the sparks we felt on our wedding day, is the feeling we get watching our wedding video and reliving our favorite moments. We can’t thank Russ and his team enough. Do yourself a favor and book them!!! -

We used RF Films as both our photographer and videographer for our wedding last October and were very pleased with how everything turned out.
From the subtle yet helpful suggestions and guidance from the staff, to them knowing where to be and when to be there, they did a great job capturing our special day and key moments with our family and friends. They are true professionals and we highly recommend Russ and his team to memorialize your special day.
Thank you to the entire RF Films team - The Lodatos! -

Thank you RF Films!!
Russ and his team were absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, everything was handled just perfectly! We were referred to RF Film through my matron of honor and Russ and his team did not disappoint. Communication was easy and seamless throughout the entire process. Russ was able to accommodate a few last minute changes we had without any issues and took an immense amount of pressure off of me on the big day! All of the photographers and videographers were extremely professional and made everyone feel comfortable in what can be one of the most stressful times of our lives. Everything came out exactly how my husband and I intended and we will be recommending RF Film to all of our friends and family! -
