    Happy with our Films

    We worked with White Elm Films for our April 2024 wedding. We booked in January of 2023 after a brief meeting with Holly over the phone and selected the Keepsake collection with drone footage. In the months leading up to the wedding, we were given digital questionnaires to fill out with music preferences and a timeline. We didn't know who our videographers were going to be until the day of our wedding, but they were lovely and professional. They worked well with the photography team and got all the shots we were hoping for. We just got our videos back (ceremony, dances, speeches, highlight film &teaser) digitally, about 6 weeks after our event. The videos turned out great and we are happy with the result.

    Breathtaking Videography!

    Working with White Elm Films was a wonderful experience! From the moment I found their website I absolutely fell in love with the quality and style of their videos. The communication from day one was entirely with the owner Holly directly which I appreciated and made it feel more personal working with them. She was easy to talk to and answered my many questions about what to expect and their packages. Which can I just say that their packages are incredibly affordable for the quality of product you are getting! On our wedding day the White Elm Film team was easy to work with and worked very well with our photographer and other vendors. I was hesitant that we would not get to talk to the team members we were working ahead of time with but my communication with Holly put my mind at easy knowing that the team would handle the day perfectly. When we got our final video back, I could not stop crying. The way they captured every moment of our day was breathtaking. The sound quality of our ceremony and speeches was unbelievable and we are so thrilled that we decided to work with White Elm Films. We cannot thank them enough for being a part of our special day and giving us an incredible video memory to last a lifetime.

    And just a note, if you are considering getting the raw footage or not, DO IT! Yes, we LOVE our edited highlight film and ceremony footage but having footage of the entire day is so wonderful and absolutely worth it to have!

    Amazing experience from start to finish

    I'm so happy I came across White Elm Films and even happier that I chose them to film our special day. They were very professional, responsive, and created a video exactly like I hoped for. They also provided some guidance and tips on how to make the most of the moments being filmed which I really appreciated. If you're on the fence about booking a videographer, do yourself a favor and prioritize it. Reliving the memories felt just as special and emotional as it did on our big day. Highly recommend booking with White Elm Films. You won't regret it!

    A personalized, professional, & engaging, experience. White Elm Films films does incredible work!

    I would recommend White Elm Films to anyone in search of a wedding videographer. From the beginning, they provided us a personable, genuine, engaging and professional experience. We had the opportunity to speak with them over the phone to understand their background, style, and how their team works to build your wedding video. After that convo, we booked! They are detailed and specific, and give you as a client a say in the aspects and elements of your wedding day that you care to have captured in your film. The team is quick to communicate and answer questions. Their planning tools also helped us better plan for our big day. The day of the wedding our two videographers from their team felt like friends during the entirety of our time with them, they were professional, detail oriented, engaging, yet focused, and overall made us feel comfortable all while having fun. They gave a realistic timeline for receiving footage following our wedding. We received our videos in the time promised. Our highlight film was beyond what I expected. They extracted the most meaningful elements of the day, and words shared from our family and friends and seamlessly put together the most incredible video. We have also received countless compliments on it, with some people saying it is one of the better wedding videos they've ever seen. No matter how many times I've watched the video, I still get goosebumps. We also received an individual video of our ceremony, speeches, and dances. All of which we will cherish forever. White Elm was one of our favorite vendors on our wedding day. I am so happy we signed on with them, and you will be too!

    Best videographer to book!

    White Elm Films were absolutely great to work with! My husband and I really wanted a great videographer to capture our special day and White Elm Films went above and beyond. From being there on time to making every second perfect. Not once did my husband and I have to worry about anything. White Elm Films worked great with our photographers as well. White Elm Films made our day so incredibly fun while shooting as well. Once we received our film back and rewatched it, it brought that special day back to life again and we couldn’t thank White Elm Films enough for everything. I would 100% book them again for another event in the future and I highly recommend them if you’re looking for an amazing videographer. Any questions I had, White Elm Films was quick to respond and answered everything I needed. They definitely made the day run smoothly.

    Perfect company to capture videography your wedding day

    We were overjoyed when we received our wedding footage and finalized films. White Elm Films captured our day perfectly. They were wonderful to work with before, during, and after the wedding. Our highlight film is stunning. The quality of the video is amazing and the editing really highlighted the entire day. We also ordered a film of our full ceremony, a film of our first dances, a film of the toasts, and the raw footage. I would highly recommend White Elm Films for capturing your wedding day!

    Amazing Work!

    The White Elm Films team was amazing to work with. From the planning to the execution and everything in between they helped our vision come to life. Rewatching our wedding video is magical as we can feel the same emotions that we felt on that day. They are a talented group and we are so lucky to have worked with them! We highly recommend them to anyone wanting memories from the most magical day of your life.

    Highly recommended!

    My husband and I got married in May 2023 in Santa Barbara and the White Elm Films team captured our wedding day in a way that takes you right back to those special moments. The quality of video and the videography talents of this team is worth the affordable package prices they offer! On the day of, they worked seamlessly with our photographer to make sure they were both able to capture important moments without getting in each other’s frames. The team was professional, kind and adjusted their timeline for us due to a small hiccup that happened so that they could record enough of the reception that was included in our package. This care in their work and for us as the couple showed us the pride they take in recording our big day! I highly recommend White Elm Films if you want to capture all the beautiful moments of your wedding!

    It was so great working with White Elm Films! The team was very detailed, organized, efficient, and easy to communicate with throughout our entire planning process.

We highly recommend White Elm Films, 10/10!

    Your Dream Videographers!


    I searched for several months for the best videographers that would truly be able to tie my love story and my wedding into a beautifully composed, artistic film. I found White Elm Films and I knew right away they were exactly what I wanted. From the way they structure the whole process to how they helped me on the day of my wedding, White Elm Film are impeccable in organizing all the details in an easy platform. They asked me about everything that I wanted captured. They were kind enough to guide me through the music process when I was having a hard time choosing the songs for the film. They were so engaged with our guests and us that it made the experience so natural and smooth. Their attention to detail paired with their editing skills makes it look like a true movie. I am so excited to show these to my grandchildren one day! One hundred percent recommend White Elm Film to brides that want an effortless and impeccable wedding film!

    Amazing Experience

    Working with White Elm Films was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. They were so responsive, easy to work with, and make us feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. They captured every single detail of our wedding, and we are so excited about the end result. Our highlight film is amazing - we left it up to them to decide on our music, which was perfect! We loved being able to watch back the speeches, dances, and ceremony, and have hours on hours of raw footage to look through to relive the best day of our lives! We couldn't be happier and are so thankful for finding White Elm Films!

    The best decision we made for our wedding!

    White Elm Films was a pleasure to work with since we first booked them. They were extremely professional and organized all the way up until our big day.

We would recommend White Elm films to anyone looking for a cinematic wedding film. Thank you for all your hard work on our big day!

    Worth Every Penny!

    Hiring White Elm was one of the best decisions we made. We were hesitant at first to hire a videographer at all, but once we started looking around for one, the portfolio on the white elm website, as well as the responsive and helpful customer service made the choice easy. White Elm Films was very nice and discreet, the camera didn’t distract from the day. The final result is breathtaking. We received a teaser video, a highlight video, and a full length documentary video. After watching all three, we wouldn’t give up a single one of them. They’re beautiful and capture the feeling of our special day perfectly.

    Amazing videography team !!!

    Like many couples, we initially weren't sure if we would have videography at our wedding purely because of cost. However, we ultimately decided to have it because we wanted to capture as many memories as we could from the day. We could not be happier that we decided to work with White Elm Films!!! In researching our wedding, I watched a ton of films from different videography companies of varying price points, and White Elm Films came up on top by far, not only in quality and content of their videos, but by value! They are not only really reasonably priced, but produce amazing and high quality videos that are a joy to watch. We love everything about our wedding video!! I could not stop watching it and was so excited to be able to look back on the day. Video does add more than photo can and something different, so please if you're considering video and it's somewhat in the budget, my suggestion is please do it!!! Holly was also so incredible to work with throughout the wedding planning process, which can be stressful. She was always very prompt in responding to us, sent helpful questionnaires spread out throughout the months leading up to the wedding to help organize and gather useful videography-related information, really followed through on all input and preferences that we had for the video. We always found her to be helpful and very professional. The videographer on the day was non-intrusive in terms of shooting style (which we specifically requested), and the video is just beautiful!! we are very happy with them and highly recommend hiring Holly and White Elm Films to shoot your wedding.

    White Elm Films is exactly who you want as your wedding videographer. Not only are they cost effective, but you get so much value out of their service.

The end product was so special and they did such a beautiful job at capturing our day. 10/10 recommend

    Best decision I made!

    When I was looking for a videographer for my wedding, I was looking for someone who would offer a documentary style film. White Elm was one of the very few teams to offer this so they were immediately at the top of my list (nevermind the fact that they were much more cost friendly than even the other companies who only offer 2-5 minute videos). After doing much research and looking at other weddings they had done, I realized their style was very much of what I was looking for: elegant and beautiful bright colors. When I spoke to Holly, she answered every single one of my questions and made the process smoother than I thought it could have gone. Especially considering I booked very close to my wedding and most of the deadlines had passed. We worked together and got everything figured out and booked. At first I was a bit weary about the fact that you don't really know who is going to be the videographer but Holly made me feel so comfortable that their whole team are professionals and are trained in the same way to give the best footage. And boy was she right! The team was so professional through out the whole process and on the day of, made me feel like I had nothing to worry about at all. They were professional and at the same time made me feel so comfortable (considering I am so camera shy). They were super friendly and patient with us through out the whole day. Not once did they look stressed out of frustrated! I must also mention that my photographer was not too excited when I told her I had hired a videography team, but at the end of the night she came and told me this was the best videography team she has ever worked with!!! Now the videos... I received a teaser, a highlight and a documentary video. The footage, the editing, is perfect. Each video was able to capture the most important parts of the day but most importantly, they were able to capture the joy and happiness felt by every single person that day. This is something my husband and I will cherish forever and we are eternally grateful for this team and their work.

    We are so glad we found White Elm Films! They did an amazing job on our video and words cannot express how thankful we are for the team. Through out the entire process, the team was extremely kind, organized and helpful.

    Great experience!

    Initially, we were hesitant about using a videographer as it wasn't a high priority to us, but we're so happy we did. We absolutely love our video!! White Elm Films was great to work with and provided us exactly what we wanted! They provided easy to fill out checklists at the beginning and were very responsive up to our wedding day with any questions we had. Additionally, we were running a little late the day of the wedding and the team was very responsive and worked with us when we were not at the venue right on time. Overall, we were very happy from start to finish and would highly recommend!

    When we received our videos we were left speechless! It was more than we could imagine. It was beautiful and it captured our day and love perfectly! White Elm did a phenomenal job!! The team was right on time and super accommodating when we were running a few mins behind schedule. They made us feel at ease while shooting and I have already recommended them to multiple family members! We’re so happy we booked with them. This has been one of the best experiences!

    Incredible videographers! Book them for your wedding!

    White Elm Films gave us truly the most fantastic video we could have ever imagined - the way they captured every moment of the day and tied the voice overs with the person speaking was UNREAL!!!! We could not be happier with the quality, music selection, attention to detail, and everything in general. They were a pleasure to work with and are extremely talented. Book them for your wedding!!!! We have received numerous compliments on how amazing our highlight video was. So happy we chose them!!!!

    My husband and I hired White Elm Films to do videography at our wedding, and we are not only thrilled with how the final product turned out, but we were blown away by how professional, efficient, and kind their team was. They were also super flexible with our package selection, we made a few changes to customize what we wanted included in our package and they were able to accommodate! We could not have asked for a better team to work with, and now we have an amazing video that perfectly captures our special day. We could not happier with our choice to hire White Elm Films! They are the best!

    A Forever Keepsake You Won't Regret

    We'll start off by saying that White Elm Films is absolutely extraordinary and you should check out their stunning work right now. It's very budget-friendly in these times of ever-increasing costs and the whole team was just great to work with. Me and my wife were so nervous about giving the team good shots to film and how everything would work, but they were largely quiet observers who popped in every now and then to prompt us for different shots. They operate by employing many camera operators across the country, and I felt like the crew we got was very professional, kind, and experienced with shooting weddings to know what shots would work great. So as they said to us, there was nothing to worry about at all. Our final video was just hands-down incredible and more than what we could've ever asked for. It was color graded real nice and captured a lot of the feel we wanted (shots of the venue, details of the decorations, lots of family and friends, a sense of us as a couple, our silliness, our warmth, and our request not to feel too "over-produced" while still looking professional and pretty). They have such a large library of songs too and the one they landed on was just perfect for our highlight video. We even requested an edit to swap out something and they did a wonderful job doing that while still capturing the feel. We felt so taken care of throughout the whole event and even when we had to switch the day of filming to another day (due to a venue issue), White Elm Films had our back and was incredibly flexible and empathetic to our needs. I could go prattling on about how good it was to work with the entire team, but you should experience it yourself by giving them a shot. If you're anything like us, it'll wow you and you won't regret it.
