Amazing Videographer!

As we were looking for a videographer that was the best in the industry we often heard about Russel John Films. He was specifically recommended by a few family members where he did a phenomenal job. Russel and his team were super down to earth, easy to work with and matched the vision we desired for our special day. Knowing his quality of work it was a no brainer to fly him out from San Diego to San Francisco. We have already received our Instagram Teaser and it was edited to perfection and captured all the elements of our wedding. Communication was excellent throughout the process and also was receptive to all feedback. If you’re looking for the best, do yourself a favor and hire Russel John Films.

Superb videographers and great to work with

We really loved working with Russell John Films for our wedding. Everything from the intake meeting, to the day-of, and after-the-fact. This team is super great to work with--they delivered superb footage; and we loved the team. Our lead shooter was Gino, and he was a total pleasure to work with. He was kind, got all the shots, and he added (instead of took away from) the festivities. We really loved the color grading, the editing of all of the film, and the digital frame they delivered to us once everything was done. The digital frame is a great way to relive the moment quickly and share with others. We're so happy we went with Russell John Films, and we love Gino. Thank you!

Thank you!

Russell and Mia were awesome to work with on our wedding day! Russell was the lead shooter and he was a calm presence who did an excellent job of making it feel like no one was there filming you. My husband and I are a bit camera shy so this was really nice :) We are so excited to see our teaser video and to have access to all of our footage to experience our big day in the future again. I’m confident that all of the shots Russell and Mia got will turn out amazing!

Russell and his crew are amazing to work with. They move around seamlessly on wedding day. However, when you see their creation you are blown away with how and when they captured their clips. I've officiated close to 600 weddings and I would say Russel John Films is one of the best out there. You will not be disappointed with the final results of how they captured you special day. They are very easy to work with and carry themselves so professionally. I highly recommend Russell John Films.

It was a pleasure working with Russell and his crew during Bryan & Chrizelle's wedding. He was professional and friendly and we're looking forward to working with him again!
