We had an incredible experience with Russel and his team. Super professional, easy to work with, and a very talented group.
They captured every moment we were hoping for, and our photos/video came out absolutely amazing. Couldn’t have asked for a better team to document our wedding—highly recommend. -

Russ came highly recommended to me from a few friends and family who had worked with him in the past and I am so happy with how everything went for our wedding! He was so responsive and his knowledge helped immensely when planning our timeline for the day. The entire team was so amazing on our wedding day, and despite a slight hiccup with some rain and a last minute change to an indoor ceremony, they all pivoted so quickly and made sure we still got plenty of beautiful shots. The photos and videos turned out stunning and they captured our day so beautifully, I could not have asked for anything more! -

You need a Videographer! And u need this one!
We had the pleasure of working with RF Films for our wedding, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! As someone who was hesitant to use a videographer also as a fellow wedding industry processional, it was the best decision that I made. Trust me it’s totally worth it! From start to finish, the team was professional, friendly, and incredibly talented. Everything was carefully planned and well thought through to make sure that it was a smooth day. They were able to capture all the special moments of our big day in such a beautiful and cinematic way, making us feel like we were reliving the day every time we watched the video.
The attention to detail was amazing — every emotion, laugh, and joyful moment was captured perfectly. The video was beautifully edited and really told the story of our wedding day. Both Micheal and Russel were extremely easy to work with, they
Mblended in seamlessly with the guests while still managing to get all the perfect shots.
We truly couldn’t have asked for a better videography team. My husband and I are so thankful to have such a stunning video to look back on for years to come. If you're looking for a videographer who will capture the magic of your day, I highly recommend RF Films — you won’t be disappointed!

I don’t even know where to begin!! First and foremost, if you have not booked a photographer videographer yet, let me just say that RF films is absolutely incredible. Their communication is pristine, the flexibility that they have is amazing, and their work speaks for itself in how beautiful our pictures came out. Russ and his ENTIRE team are professional, kind, considerate, and all of the kind of qualities that you were looking for in a wedding photographer and/or videographer. My husband and I each had our own team of photographers and videographers, and everything was perfectly seamless and flowed exactly the way it should on our wedding day. All that to say, book RF Films!!! You will absolutely not regret it! -

We cannot thank RF FILMS enough for the incredible job they did capturing our wedding day! The attention to detail, the stunning editing, and their ability to capture every special moment made our day truly unforgettable. Their work is worth every penny, and we are so excited to have this beautifully documented memory to share with our future children.
Russ & the team were very personable every single step of the way. Frequently checked in, always provided an updated timeline, and worked very well with our other vendors.
When writing a review, people are looking for honesty and not just rainbows and sunshine. The only thing we could even comment on would be to encourage couples to clearly understand their contract/ package selection before their wedding day to avoid any surprises. We encountered an unexpected/ misunderstood hiccup due to our package choice before the final editing of our full feature video. RF FILMS did make the appropriate effort to correct it and we are thankful he gave that opportunity to address our concern.
Overall, the quality of their work, their pricing, and their team’s dedication truly was a great experience for us. We fully recommend RF FILMS for couples looking for videography! Truly a 5 Star service from the minute we booked to writing this review.
Thank you again to RF Films and the team for capturing the most special day of our lives so perfectly! -

Russell was the preferred vendor from Waters Edge and it was so obvious why! Him and his team were beyond amazing. There was not a single moment that they didn’t capture, and from multiple angles! We received all of our photos as well our video teaser within less than a month from our big day! I cannot recommend RF Films enough!

Kristy Sent on 01/11/2024A vendor you won't need to worry about...
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

Ashley 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. -

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! -

Amber 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!!! -

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! -

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! -

Kerry Sent on 08/03/2022The absolute BEST!
We made the correct decision in choosing RF films to capture our special day. From the initial conversation I had with Russ until my wedding day, I knew I was in good hands. Their work is not only amazing, but Russ and his team’s personalities added to the excitement, getting not only myself and my husband more excited but also our bridal party. They are so enthusiastic and work so seamlessly! Throughout the day Russ ensured we were having a good time and had a smile on our faces, making us feel relaxed and calm. Russ is more than just a videographer, he truly becomes your friend throughout the day. There was never a time in the day that I felt like anything was being forced, it was all natural, and the team gave great direction. I could not recommend RF Films more! Our video was absolutely AMAZING! The amount of comments and feedback we received from friends and family has re-assured we made the right decision in choosing RF Films. The video brought us right back to our wedding day and we cannot stop watching it. There is no one else I would have chosen to capture our wedding day other than RF Films. You will not be disappointed in choosing Russ and his team to capture your wedding day! -

Tim F. Sent on 08/02/2022Why You Need RF Films At Your Wedding
It is honestly hard to put into words the feelings we have about the work RF Films did for our wedding. I’ll start with the prep. Our wedding was postponed due to Covid so keeping our vendors was of the utmost importance to us. Russ was extremely accommodating and sympathetic with the situation we were in. For me, it was the excitement I heard in his voice every time we spoke on the phone. He seemed almost as excited about our wedding as we were every time. During what was an extremely stressful time, he kept that spark of excitement going.
The days leading up to the wedding we spoke about timing and how to handle each aspect of the day. He gave his honest professional opinion based on his considerable experience and although my wife and I leaned another way he was very easy going and leaned in with us. His ability to adapt to changing environment and ideas makes him and his crew best in show. I work in television so I understand the behind the scenes technical and social aspects of production. Russ and his crew are better than you will find anywhere.
The day of was nothing short of perfect. Russ’ personality is infectious. His crews’ creativity and direction were perfection. They worked so well around what we were doing, it never felt like we were held up or keeping them. It just flowed which is all we could ask for in our cinematographer. They were funny, energetic, and such welcome guests on our day.
Now to the product. Wow. That is all we could say. Our jaws were open from the open to the close. Each minute built on the last and we felt like were watching a full length movie on the big screen. Their storytelling ability threw us right back into the day. I felt like I was in the front row watching the wedding in third person. They’re cutting and pacing were exceptional. Nothing dragged and nothing was too short. Everything and especially everyone got their moment. The dancing part of the video captured every person and we had 200+ people. We saw moments we didn’t even know happened thanks to them. But most importantly they captured the love my bride and I shared that day. The jokes, the embraces, the tears were all captured so beautifully. We constantly go back and watch it. We cannot thank RF Films enough for the work they did.
Last minute points:
- pricing is very fair. Do not settle for a company that won’t give you what RF Films can. Trust me.
- turnaround time was honestly shockingly fast. We got our trailer a month out from the wedding which flew by with the honeymoon in between.
- GET THE DRONE!!
Thank you to Russ and his entire crew. We could not have asked for anything more. -

Best photgrapher!
WOW!!! Just WOW! I want to thank Russell, Monica, and the RF Films group for such an amazing experience. When we signed with them, we all had a connection. We did our engagement shoot with them and we were just amazed how every single picture came out. I was so excited for our big day. We told Russ how we pictured our big day, that we wanted to enjoy every moment of it since we waited so many years for this. We wanted our pictures to show that we were owning our day and nothing can take those moments away, and guess what, Russ, Monica and the RF group did that for us. They seriously went above and beyond because of course our catering hall didn't have anyone working and they were so sweet, that they were our bridal attendees and our everything that day, and we couldn't thank them enough. They didn't take long at all to get us back our pictures that were just OUT OF THIS WORLD! Our wedding teaser and trailer that they made for us is AMAZING. We love it so much that we just keep watching it over and over again (because it's just that good)...
I would recommend RF Films over and over again. They are attentive, caring, and generous with their services.

Ashley Sent on 11/08/2019Truly Amazing!
First off, I want to express how incredibly amazing Russ and his team are. They filmed our special day in the most beautiful way and captured every single detail from start to finish. There is ABSOLUTELY no one I would have rather had capture our day than R.F. Films and I was picky when it came to choosing a videographer to say the least! Also, Russ was with us every step of the way and truly saw our vision. He regularly checked up on my husband and I and helped us feel at ease with not only his talent, but also with the entire wedding process as a whole. The day of the wedding he kept us calm and in the best of spirits. Russ and his team went above and beyond to get the best shots and made us feel so comfortable. In all, Russ is more than just a videographer, he is amazing at what he does and truly cares about the couples he works with and it shows it his work. I promise you won't be disappointed hiring him for your special day! 💕
