    A true professional

    Richard was a true professional who came fully prepared for the wedding day! He had drones, hidden mics, and all kinds of cool equipment. But most importantly: my bride and I had a choreographed dance which we spent a lot of time practicing for. He had us send a video of the dance to him prior to the wedding day so he could study it and get all the best angles!
    Skill aside, Richard was also an all-around friendly guy who I cannot recommend enough!

    Phenomenal Cinematographers that will capture your special day perfectly!

    Royal Films are the absolute BEST cinematographers that you can choose for your special day in California or beyond. Their films are works of art and capture the special moments and emotions from your wedding day in such a beautiful, genuine, professional, high quality, and creative manner. . Richard and Tracy truly exceeded our expectations from our first e-mail communication to our wedding day and beyond. It really felt like we were working with family. We knew they cared about us and we were not just another client to them. We first met Richard in person during our engagement shoot. He was so friendly, calm, and enthusiastic. It felt like we already knew him! We absolutely loved the engagement Instagram reel and the love story film he created that perfectly told our story. We were so lucky to have both Richard and Tracy there on our wedding day. They captured all of our precious moments. Their friendly faces, calming presence, confidence, kindness, support, and very gentle direction was just what we needed. We knew we were in great hands and didn’t have to worry. Even though we had a tight timeline during our romantic photos, Richard made sure to remember and advocate for a couple shots that I had asked about beforehand, like one of my husband and I running together. Richard and Tracy went above and beyond for us by surprising us with a Same Day Edit that played during our wedding reception after our love story film played! It was a complete surprise to all of us!! We were so happy!! Our guests were simply wowed as were we! It was gorgeous and we still can’t believe how they created and edited it so fast. Our guests are still talking about it. Some of them even said that it was their favorite part of the reception. We are incredibly grateful. Our Instagram reel and highlight film of the wedding footage were amazing! We love both of them! I have cried almost every single time I have watched our highlight film. It is so special and will be treasured forever. Richard and Tracy are incredibly talented and phenomenal. We cannot recommend Royal films enough to any couple getting married in the future. My husband and I are blessed and so happy that they captured our engagement and wedding day so beautifully. We hope to work with them again in another capacity in the future. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Richard and Tracy.

    Super great to work with!

    Richard was great with communication before, after and during the wedding. He was a nice guy and very professional. Working with him was seamless on the wedding day. The pricing is definitely reasonable and the quality turned out great, as expected. He was also very quick with getting us our videos after. We enjoyed all the footage including the instagram reel! 
    We appreciated his help with the downloads too, as we found ourselves a bit technically challenged for the task!
    I couldn't recommend Richard and Royal films more!!

    Beautiful, professional video storytelling that captures the essence of your special day!

    We loved working with Richard and Tracy for our wedding videography! We were given a helpful and comprehensive survey that asked about our relationship, our expectations, a few song choices, and the day of schedule. Covid definitely threw a wrench in our original March 2020 plans, but they were so easy and willing to work with us to reschedule to March 2021 and finally an August 2021 date.

    I was so impressed by Richard and his second shooter on the day of the wedding. They were friendly, engaging, and kind. They worked seamlessly with our photography team and blended easily into the background of the day. There were many times I forgot we were even being recorded and just had the time of my life.

    We received the highlight reel within a month of the wedding and I was floored! They were telling our story with the perfect song choice. They did a beautiful job of capturing the details and emotions of the day in such a candid way. I felt like I was reliving our special day! I've watched the reel countless times since and have enjoyed sharing it with family and friends.

    We received the full video 2 months after the wedding. Watching this, we know it was money well spent! This video is so precious to us, I just know we'll continue to rewatch it and share it with our future kids.

    We highly recommend Richard and Tracy of Royal Films! They are incredibly kind and friendly professionals, prompt in their responses, and they tell beautiful stories that uniquely capture the essence of your special day. It was a joy to work with them and I would not hesitate to hire them again!

    Videography

    Where do I begin? We were originally scheduled to be married March of 2020 but had to postpone due to Covid. Tracy and Richard we're incredibly understanding throughout my whole process. I never thought I would postpone my wedding and it was very hard at times. From day one, Tracy and Richard were professional, understanding, an incredibly kind which is something I'll never forget. In terms of their services day of, they were spectacular. They worked cohesively, seamlessly, and produced amazing footage of our day. They also worked very well with my photographer. I can't thank them enough! If you're looking for a video or photography services, you won't be disappointed by booking with them. Thank you Tracy and Richard!

    Pleasure To Work With!

    It was a pleasure to have Royal Films do our photography/videography for our wedding! Royal Films are professionals in many aspects of their field. They captured details and moments that made our wedding day special. Royal Films was definitely the best choice for our wedding since they cared about us, our thoughts and opinions, throughout the whole process. They also gave us great suggestions and were flexible with our schedule. My wife and I couldn't be more grateful for all their hard work and dedication. Thank you guys so much!

    A definite recommend!

    Royal Films was amazing to work with! They did our photography and our videography for our wedding. They were very punctual with their responses, great in answering questions and flexible with our ever changing reality of a wedding in the middle of a pandemic—not to mention that we ended up with amazing pictures and videos! We made the right decision to invest in the photography and videography for our wedding with them.

    Royal service!

    Tracy and Richard were our wedding photographers three weeks ago and I could not have asked for a better photography team. They were very professional, helpful, kind, and happy- a great combination of characteristics on the day of our big event. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to have dependable people to work with on the day of their wedding! Pictures were amazing and so was the video. Hire them- you will not regret it!

    Beyond amazing!

    The day they say would be the most stressful for a bride was the least stressful for me because of the amazing service provided by Tracy and Richard. I honestly could not have asked for a better team that does both videography and photography. They understand each other so well, which makes for smooth sailing throughout the event. We were so comfortable so fast, even though my husband and I are shy. Tracy and Richard went beyond their role, including helping me adjust the wedding dress and other outfit pieces throughout the entire night. They wanted the pictures to be perfect for us, so they asked exactly what we wanted and what we didn't want beforehand.

    Now let me tell you about the products. The video was EXACTLY what I always hoped it would be, and the pictures were beyond anything I could have asked for. They really are remarkable in their work ethic and their services and I am so happy we chose them. My family members also loved them and were raving about how amazing they were. We are so grateful to have known such a team who went above and beyond on our wedding day. Thank you to Tracy and Richard again for your amazing work!

    Best videographers ever!

    We weren't sure if we wanted to hire a videographer at first, but it turned out to be the best decision we made for the wedding. The video turned out phenomenal. It totally exceeded our expectations and really brings back memories of the day in a way that pictures don't.

    Additionally, Richard is the nicest human being ever and his wife Tracy who we've corresponded with through email is extremely sweet as well. Again - we couldn't be happier with the final product. They're also priced very fairly compared to other vendors, and the quality of their work speaks for itself. They nailed our vision on the head of a touching video that wasn't corny or cheesy.

    Amazing Videographer!

    Our wedding video is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen! The quality is so professional and polished. They really captured our love story. I was on the fence about needing a videographer, but hiring Royal Films is one of the best decisions I made. Your wedding day will go by in a flash and feel like a blur, so having it well documented is very important. It's so nice to look back and relive our special day. Richard and Tracy were great to work with. Do yourself a favor and hire them!

    So awesome!

    We did not initially plan on using a videographer, and we are SO HAPPY we changed our minds and used Royal Films. The day went by way too quickly, and it is simply impossible to remember every wonderful detail.
    Royal Films did an AMAZING job of capturing every detail-- from the decor, to the views, to the first look, to the ceremony, to the speeches, to the dances. They even took drone footage, which looks amazing. The final product is gorgeous. I might have squealed a little when I saw our highlight film. Anyway, we are so happy we used them and recommend them highly!

    We LOVED Richard and Tracy! I found Royal Films on The Knot & Wedding Wire, and had only seen their highlight videos from their website, but I knew we had to have them. Their eye for detail and editing is one of a kind. While we only spoke with Tracy over email, she was always so quick to respond, very kind and helpful, and an all around pleasure to work with. Richard was our lead videographer for our wedding, and we just loved working with him and his second shooter Alfred so much. Richard has an incredible eye for getting those perfect shots and had great ideas throughout the day for how to best capture every moment. He was so nice and accommodating, and worked well with our photographer with whom he had never met before. We received our highlight video less than two weeks after our wedding, and we just cannot say enough good things about it. It is perfect in every way, and everyone we've shown it to just loves it! It captures the day so amazingly, I think we've watched it a dozen times! We would absolutely recommend Royal Films to anyone! They are great to work with and budget friendly!

    We had our wedding in Laguna this September right on the beach and we were looking for a great way to have it saved for the rest of our lives. We looked into several Videographers but ultimately chose Royal Films as we saw some of their previous work and loved it. We received our video from Royal Films and WE LOVE IT! Simply put it's incredibly tasteful, beautiful, and artistically done. If your looking to find someone who will do a brilliant job on the most important day of your life then choose Royal Films!!!!!

    Tracy and Richard are truly AMAZING!! Our video came out absolutely incredible and we both love it so much. We have a few family members who weren't able to make it to our wedding so having a video to share with them means the absolute world to us. Tracy and Richard were an absolute joy to work with. Their energy level is so inspiring and so genuine. They worked so well with our photographer- which made the entire day run so smooth. We didn't even notice when they were/weren't filming which made for such genuine moments! I would recommend making the investment to get a videographer for your big day and I would absolutely recommend trusting Tracy and Richard with this important task- you will not regret it!

    We are so fortunate to have found you two! Our wedding planner insisted on a videographer which was a no brainer, but after combing through countless vendors there was no question as to who we wanted to capture our big day. Having seen our wedding preview I know we made the right decision. You two are incredible. The moments they capture in such a unique and personal way will astound you.

    Royal Films is definitely the best videographers out there! I can't tell you how many videographers we interviewed before we found the perfect one! I knew right away that they were going to be the perfect fit for our wedding! They are the sweetest, most genuine couple I have ever met! They put so much heart into their work and it really showed through our video! I could not be happier with our wedding video! It truly captured our day from beginning to end and it was so beautiful! I will cherish our video for years and years to come! THANK YOU Royal Films for capturing the true love in our wedding day!

    5 stars is not enough for Royal Films! From the initial requesting quote and availability all the way through getting the final product Richard and Tracy were class acts. When my husband and I first met with them in person we automatically clicked and felt comfortable with them, their passion for their craft is intoxicating. Communication was spot on and always quick, the day off they were prompt and full of smiles. Not only do they love what they do, but they love love! It really sets the mood for your special day! Richard and Tracy are married so listening to them talk to each other as they capture your special day is awesome, they love each other! They were like our wedding coordinators also, they constantly were helping get things in the right place, helped with getting attire on, and general communication. Everyone at my wedding that encountered them couldn't say enough amazing things. After the wedding we got our highlight video in 2 weeks and it was spectacular. We all cried while watching it, they really captured the love and spirit of the wedding just in the highlight film. I was so in love with the highlight film and then came the documentary edit video, AMAZING! We couldn't be happier and the turn around for this amazing product was so fast, I'm still waiting on our photos from our photographer that's how fast they are. Highly recommend using Royal Films for your videographer needs! Thank you Tracy and Richard!!! ??

    Richard and Tracy came highly recommended by our friends. We are sooo glad we booked them for our wedding. During our first meeting with them we saw how talented, sweet, and fun they were. We knew they were perfect for us! As we got closer to our day they were very fast to reply to emails with all of our questions. They assured us we had nothing to worry about and were incredible at coordinating with our photographer locations for shooting. Richard and Tracy are such awesome individuals who made our day fun and relaxed. They knew exactly how and when to do everything on our wedding day. Their confidence in capturing our special moments was visible every second. They catered to our unique and nerdy batman wedding, personalities, and made our video so intimate/special. This is what makes them stand out. All videos are unique to the couples they shoot, and that is exactly the product we got. We relived our special day through their work of art; I cried, laughed, and couldn't stop smiling at everything they captured. We even got to see details of our special day we missed from being so busy (the day goes by so fast). My husband and I are happy we chose Richard and Tracy. You will not regret it whatsoever!

    I cannot say enough about Tracy and Richard!! Seriously. They completely exceeded all of our expectations. I did SO much research on the videographer we would choose for our wedding day. I watched countless videos to determine the look and feel I liked, and I finally found Royal Films! I was still on the fence (because choosing a videographer was tougher for me than choosing my wedding dress), but then we met with Tracy and Richard in person and both my now-husband and I knew they were the right choice for us.

    The day of, we had contracted them for 10 hours - that's a LONG day for a vendor! But Tracy and Richard were amazing throughout it all. They were so professional, kind, and absolutely amazing. They were such a pleasure to work with and we're so grateful to have had them there on our special day. Cut to TWO weeks after our wedding, and we have our wedding highlight film in our inbox. TWO WEEKS! I don't know anyone who has had that kind of service with their videographer. Not only were they extremely punctual, but the film they created was absolutely breath taking. They knocked it out of the park and we're so excited to have this little master piece to look back on for years to come.

    If you haven't already, PLEASE visit their Vimeo site and check out the work they've done. They really do a phenomenal job of listening to your vision and implementing it to an absolute "T." And if you're only just considering a videographer...from one bride to another...DO IT. You will NOT regret spending the money for something you will have for the rest of your lives.

    THANK YOU, Tracy and Richard - you two are a total blessing!!

    I will admit that I was initially lukewarm about having a videographer at all at my wedding. When my husband and I decided we wanted an unplugged ceremony and we had already hired a kick a** string quartet to perform, we finally settled on hiring one to capture the moment so that we could always look back on it. Surprised but not surprised to see there are many qualified vendors with excellent reviews and different styles. It is much of an investment as photography. Royal Films is very reasonably priced and offers different packages for your needs. The whole team is professional, quick to respond to questions, and very easy to work with. Since I was planning the wedding from out of town, I was very appreciative of the quick email replies and their accommodating our request for Skype sessions to virtually meet and greet. On the day of the wedding, Andy and his team were a dream to work with. They had great chemistry with my photographer. Andy also came to the rescue when I had a crisis - he helped fix my broken necklace! Andy was very polite and professional in recommending certain poses and shots that would look good in the video. When Andy sent us the link to our highlight video approximately one month after our wedding, I was so pleased. I normally don't like watching myself on video but it was captured and edited so well. We showed our families who were genuinely entertained and loved it. When Richard asked if we like to add on a documentary edit, we did not hesitate to say yes! We love our wedding video and we are so happy we had Royal Films to capture our wedding day on film.

    Andy Hawksworth was our head videographer at our wedding. He, along with his team, exceeded our expectations. They were professional and kind, making the process so smooth. And the best part was.....Andy emailed me with our wonderful highlight film less than two weeks after our wedding date! We can't thank Andy and Royal Films enough for making our wedding experience so perfect.

    We had the pleasure of having Andy be the head videographer on our wedding day, but also had the pleasure of working with Richard leading up to the day. Both are absolutely great to work with. They always responded promptly to emails and provided above and beyond services. It was really important to me to have my video private and not posted online. They both agreed without hesitation or question and did it no charge (I had a lot of problems with other videographers who wanted to charge me or put up a fuss when hearing that I did not want the video posted). My husband and I received our highlight films very soon after our wedding day and are SO pleased with them. They truly are a great team and such fun people to work with!

    So we just booked Royal Films for our Videography. We could not be more happy of our decision. Right when we met Royal Films from the start we felt a sense of connection. They really value their clients and are welling to listen to our visions of our big day. They were the first videographers we met and the last. After meeting them we did not want to look anywhere else. They were willing to work with our budget. Their films are exactly what we are looking for: something like a story of our big day that included toasts and first dances. They have 2 videographers and 3 cameras with extra back up! Super reliable and professional.

    Richard and Tracy ARE AMAZING! They are not only the sweetest people ever but they are truly talent and artistic individuals. They give great direction and let you know exactly what to do which is very helpful when you get pulled in every direction on your wedding day. The highlight film they did for us is so beautiful and I am so glad we did it! Thank you again for everything!

    We booked Richard and his wife to do our wedding video 7 months before the wedding. When we saw the work they did it was no question, we wanted them!
    They were very professional and i love that they did an aerial shot of the venue which really set the mood of our highlight video. When we received the video we watched it over 10 times and everyone who saw the video has nothing to say but compliments!
    You will truly feel like royalty! Thank you Royal films for doing such an AMAZING JOB!

    Richard and Tracy are not just professional and friendly, they are also an incredible team. Their recent expansion and quick growth is testimony to their hard work and enthusiasm. As we were meeting with our photographer, she saw that we had booked Royal Films as our videographer. She was astonished! We were wondering why and she shared that she had worked a wedding with them a few months ago and that they were the most professional people she has seen before. While we are yet to have our engagement video and wedding filmed, we are already delighted by the level of professionalism and flexibility they have shown.

    I have also known Richard for a while, I can attest to his character and responsibility and I can imagine that it'll only transfer to his work life. Do business with people you can trust, and we certainly trust Richard and Tracy!

    A videographer was a not originally on our priority list but when we talked to Richard only about a month before our wedding it became a priority! Richard was such a pleasure to work with from the beginning! We not only got a documentary style video but we also ordered the highlight reel. The highlight reel is an absolute must! We are from Las Vegas and all of our family is from Ohio so many people did not attend to wedding so we are glad we decided to capture our special day to share with everyone. All of our friends and family, even those who attended, can not stop watching the highlight reel! Some people say the wedding looks like a fairy tale. We got married at Mount Palomar Winery in Temecula which is a stunning property. They showed up with a drone, which we did not expect, and captured all aspects of the property from the sky. Richard, Tracy, and Andy felt like friends that were there for the wedding. They were so nice and easy to work with which made having cameras all around easy even during some of the awkward moments. Also, they worked great with our photographer so we were able to capture so many moments with both teams at once. We just received our full video and it is just as amazing as the highlight reel. It truly looks like a movie and it is not boring to watch. If you want an easy going team to work with and create the most memorable and top notch quality video for your big day look no further than Royal Films! If you are thinking you don't need a videographer think again....it is totally worth the investment! Thank you guys for working with us!

    During our vendor searching for our wedding, the one thing we would give up due to being over budget was videography so I wasn't so excited at first with looking at videos...
    But when you come across videos by Royal Films you notice a difference.. what caught my eye was that they included speeches (subtly) with music still playing in the background, and had a soft and romantic feel without being too cheesy/overkill
    After meeting with Richard, he made me feel so comfortable and was very professional. He brought a sample of what we would be receiving and asked my opinions of what I was looking for and what kind of couple we were. Being very OCD in the whole wedding planning process, I was very specific with what we wanted to capture and he was able to deliver it effortlessly!

    So now, our wedding has come and past.. I admit we were REALLY cranky during the filming/photo session after our ceremony (NOTE: pack some food/snacks on the ride! or else you will feel the same way we did) I felt bad after everything and after snapping at him and his crew (which included his beautiful wife Tracy) but they were able to give compliments and make us feel like we were movie stars... and they knew just what to say to get the perfect shot.. You would never be able to tell how cranky we were by looking at our highlight video =D and MAJOR thanks for that!

    Our of all of my vendors, Richard was definitely the one to reply to each and every email promptly. Even if he was out of town, he did not waste a second to answer any of my questions.
    If you're looking for a videographer you need to contact them ASAP! Check out their films/work on VIMEO for a feel of what they do, and I swear you will not be disappointed!
    I'm so glad we went with a video because photos only capture so much... with the film it's a whole different experience and I love it! Oh, and we got our highlight reel in a little over a week! A great way to keep the wedding memories still alive

    -Sally & David

    My husband and I decided that among all the elements of our wedding, we wanted to focus on and invest in our photography and videography. I searched around and viewed many wedding videos on Vimeo, and it seemed Royal Films was the vendor we were looking for.

    Richard is very easy to work with. He was responsive and and thorough throughout the whole process. He showed up on time, responded to my questions and emails prior to the wedding day, and captured all our best moments. He is very committed to his work and has a great way of balancing getting the shots he needed as well as being non-directive (i.e. a lot of the time I hardly noticed the filming going on, he let the day roll naturally). He and his assistant worked well with our photographers. The final product was amazing. The packages offered are very reasonable and offer a variety of options. I highly recommend Royal Films.

    Our wedding would not have been the same without Richard, his wife Tracy, and his assistant Luke. I contacted him less than 2 weeks before my wedding, and I was so lucky he was still available.

    Even though I was marrying in Ventura County, he had just been to my venue a couple weeks prior so he was very familiar with the location (and just as excited about the food as I was!).

    On the day of, they were all on time and did an amazing job of capturing everything without making me feel nervous. I am not great at being the center of attention so I was really nervous that it would feel like someone was following me around all day… it was not like that at all, and they made me feel so comfortable. After a little while I forgot they were even there!

    I really can't say enough good things about our highlight video... it was absolutely perfect and beautiful and captured the whole day in a way I can barely believe. It makes me cry (in a good way!) every time I watch it. Some of my friends and family have admitted watching it over 20 times each so far, and my boss can recite my vows if you ask her to, because of the video. It was also done SO quickly that we were able to view it while on our honeymoon, which was so special. As everyone says, the day really flies by and it’s incredible to be able to look back and relive the best day of your life.

    I wouldn't hesitate for 1 second to recommend Richard and Royal Films wholeheartedly…you will not be disappointed. You should probably book him soon, because all of my friends are starting to get engaged and they all want his contact information.

    Julie and I heard from friends and family that the whole day goes by very fast and we wanted just the ceremony taped for us to remember forever. Richard did an awesome job on filming our wedding ceremony. He listened to what Julie and I wanted, what our budget was, and produced a video that we will always have.The ceremony and highlights were just what we were looking for. Richard is the man! Thanks dude.

    A beautiful final product! We appreciated the way they worked with us ahead of time to taylor their package to our needs. With the exception of a few drone shots (which were totally worth it!) they were mostly unobtrusive on the day of our wedding. We can't thank them enough!

    Documenting Our Special Moments and Our Joyous Community

    I was recommended Royal Films by my sister who enjoyed her wedding film and who was able to speak to Richard about additional edits to make it perfect. Tracy and Richard spent the time to learn what parts of the wedding day were important for us to document and together, they captured everything in an organic and authentic way, from documenting the whole day in the sweet quiet moments and celebratory dancing. Their highlight film was a balanced and stunning snapshot of the full day, which was fun to share with family and friends. The full film followed all the special moments, ceremony, and speeches and the Well Wishes video booth gave spotlight to everyone who had something sweet, caring, and funny to share. We are grateful to have been the joyful stars in this wedding documentary which we will cherish for years to come.
