Taylor M. Sent on 02/06/2024We love BE Studios :)
My photographer recommended I check out BE Studios to use as our videographer and I couldn't be more pleased with our experience! They did an amazing job capturing our best day in 5 minutes and I am so happy to be able to rewatch our day again and again for years to come. On the big day, they were great to work with, and guests who saw the video afterwards said, "I didn't even realize you had a videographer!", so they were very 'out of the way' but still capturing the day. 10/10 would recommend working with BE Studios on your wedding day, you won't be disappointed!!! -

Incredible Photos & Experience w/BE Studios!
When we got our first batch of photos from BE Studios after the wedding, I told Billy that I was both shocked and completely unsurprised at the same time with how amazing the photos were. Shocked because I actually didn't mind photos of myself for the first time in seemingly forever and unsurprised because his portfolio is exactly what you get.
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Billy and Jim. From the very first conversation with Billy, I knew we didn't need to continue hunting for a photographer. In fact, he was the first and only photographer I talked with regarding our wedding. Billy is sincere, kind, exceptionally easy to work with and is already loaded with ideas for photos to be taken and is open to whatever photo ideas you may have that he didn't (not likely). Although we spoke less pre-wedding with Jim, our experience with him was also exceptional. Immediately after entering the guys' ready room, everyone was comfortable and Jim shares all of the above traits with Billy. It truly felt like we had hired some super talented photographer friends to capture our wedding.
Words are hard to find to describe how positive of an experience it was to have BE Studios photograph our wedding and I honestly cannot recommend Billy and company more. In fact, our only regret was not being able to budget for their videography services also.BE Studios's reply:
Richard!! Thanks a million for this sweet review! We are so grateful to have met you both and been a part of your big day :) Extra special that you are a fellow Canadian. Congrats again to you and Monica!! -

First and foremost, the quality of BEStudios' work is simply unparalleled. The photos and videos they captured on our special day are nothing short of breathtaking. Every moment, every emotion, and every detail was beautifully and artistically documented. The colors were vivid, the composition was perfect, and the images are ones that every bride hopes to be able to look back on one day!
The entire BEStudios team is professional, responsive, incredibly talented, and fun to work with! Not only did our photos come out amazing (huge thank you to our lead photographer, Mike!), but our wedding highlight video is also SO BEAUTIFUL!
I wholeheartedly recommend BEStudios to all brides and grooms out there. They are not just a wedding photography and videography company; they are true artists who will capture the most important moments of your life with unparalleled skill and passion. If you want your wedding memories to be as incredible as ours, look no further than BEStudios. They are truly worth every single cent, so don't lose the opportunity to hire them by waiting too long trying to make a decision - they should be your decision!
In all sincerity, thank you to Mike, Billy, and the entire BEStudios team for making our day even more special, and for giving us memories that will last a lifetime.BE Studios's reply:
Wow!! Thanks for this amazing review! We're so glad you found us and has up be a part of your big day!! It was a wedding for the ages :) Congrats again!! -

Dream Team
I cannot say enough good things about BE Studios. We used them as our photographer and videography team for our wedding this April 1st and they beyond exceeded expectations. Billy, Jim, Joe, and Mike were incredible at making me feel so beautiful and confident in front of the camera as a bride. They never made us feel rushed and gave the perfect amount of light direction so that our photographs captured the most natural, beautiful moments, genuine smiles of our personal moments and the vibrant laughter and joy of our guests. ALSO, if you are on the fence about videography, I cannot stress this more- 100000% do it. I have many friends getting married that are questioning if they should do videography but seriously-there was NOTHING like reliving the moments, sounds, laugher, and words of the day as it was receiving our beautiful highlight video and all of the video files after the wedding was over. Also, 10000% recommend doing both through BE Studios as they offered a great deal for both videography and photography services and were seriously the most professional and well-organized group I could have imagined-an absolute dream team- and this is so important to have on your wedding day when there is so much orchestration going on. Trust me, don’t think twice and book both services. To the BE Studios team- thank you so much for making our wedding day so incredibly special. We can’t recommend you enough!!!BE Studios's reply:
Amanda! Thx so much for this great review :) It means more than you know! So glad we met and got to tell your story!! Wishing you much love and happiness! -

BE Studios Comes Rain or Shine!
This review is well overdue. The photos Billy and his team took at my wedding back in September 2022 are displayed all over my home, my office, my Instagram, and my phone. I constantly look back at them and feel immense gratitude for hiring Billy. To almost everyone's surprise, our wedding day in almost-always-sunny San Diego was a rainy one, but that did not stop Billy and his team from exceeding my expectations. He came prepared and equipped with umbrellas; already had ideas of dry areas to take our portraits; and kept my top priority pictures at the forefront of his mind. Billy also delivered the photos well in advance of his promised date and completely wowed me, my husband ("wait, that's us?!"), my family, my friends, my work colleagues, and everyone in between. The quality of the photos he produced are top-notch, and his attention to detail does not go unnoticed. If you are considering hiring Billy and his team, do it. I promise you will not regret it.BE Studios's reply:
Aww thanks for this sweet review! We take pride in making the most of any situation and we're so glad that you were all willing participants and willing to get a little wet!! Such a great day..congrats again!! -

Brittany (. Sent on 09/14/2022Best Photography/Videography Team Ever!
The decision to go with BE Studios truly made our wedding. Jim, Billy and their team were so incredible, we had several guests coming up and asking how we found our video/photo team as they even noticed how attentive and talented they were. Talk about the most genuine and kind people, Jim and Billy photographed and videoed myself and bridesmaids prior to the wedding and made us feel so relaxed and we had the best time leading up to the ceremony. Just one week after the wedding, we already received hundreds of sneak peaks which has helped us to relive our wedding day over again! We had a tight timeline and it was really important for us to fit everything in and Jim and Billy made it a priority to stick to our timeline and ensure we hit every photo spot and opportunity we had wanted throughout the day and night. The communication leading up to the wedding and throughout the wedding day was amazing, we received extremely quick responses and such amazing advice. Truly could not have dreamed up a better photo/video team and cannot recommend them highly enough!!BE Studios's reply:
Thank-you so much for this awesome review!! Your wedding was phenomenal! We had such a blast with you and Danny and all of your friends and fam!! Thanks for having us be a part of your big day! Congrats again!! -

Austin U. Sent on 08/29/2022Terrific Service, Great Value
Billy and his team exceeded our expectations and were very easy to work with. Billy walked us through every step of planning and made adjustments smoothly with no hassles. Our photographer Michael and our videographer Joe were both friendly with the right energy to keep us relaxed and smiling during a long and busy day! Both guys knew our venue like the back of their hand. Financially, they were a great deal; a competing studio in the area quoted us at $3,000-$4,000 more for the same service. And yet the photos and video we received are priceless. We would recommend Billy, Michael, and Joe to anyone.BE Studios's reply:
That means more than you know!! Thank-you so much. Your wedding was Fabulous! So lucky to have been a part of all the love. Congrats!! -

Best Decision EVER!
I don't know where to start with this review for Billy (and his team). Billy came to the rescue just 9 weeks before our wedding. We had hired a photography service we found online- this was a huge mistake. We were lured in with cheap prices, fantastic sales tactics and over promising of what we would get. Our wedding turned into a big production and the team we had hired wasn't equipped to handle everything we needed from them nor the style we were going for, Vanity Fair/Vouge - we weren't your average wedding party. We parted ways with this team and prayed we would find a new team who checked off all of our boxes. I was given Billy's information by our day of coordinator and after perusing through his website & work I called him and left a very frantic message.
Billy emailed me late at night and he made time to speak to me the very next day. Just with one phone call he put me at ease and assured me everything would work out. We let Billy know the look we were going for, the dynamics of our family/friends and all the extras we had going on (Mariachi, String Quartet, Marquis Letters & a Beyonce impersonator). Nothing seem to phase him and he just let e know that it was going to be the best day ever and him and his team would handle everything. The moments leading up to our wedding, he was in constant contact and always just a short text away. The day of our wedding... Billy and his team showed up and we were all impressed with their level or professionalism and... well they were all very good-looking, naturally this was a must for two grooms! These guys came to deliver. They talked with us, wanted to know more about my both my husband and I + all of our wedding party and family. They even let my flower girl have a whole photo shoot.
If you're still reading this review, then you need to act quick and hire Billy and his team. I promise you won't regret it. Thank you Billy, Joe, Mike & Jim! I hope you all had as much fun as we did! -

Everything we wanted plus more
Super fun and professional! From getting ready, family pictures before the ceremony, to the ceremony and reception, Billy and his crew made everyone so relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. They truly captured our perfect wedding in stills and videos that we can’t stop looking at. Really helps us re-live the best day of our lives. -

Best team ever!
From booking them to the day of, BE Studios was a dream to work with. Billy is extremely responsive and answered all of our questions before the big day. I also always get super nervous in front of the camera but they made me, my husband, and family/friends feel so comfortable. I am so happy we chose them to capture our best day ever. We will always be able to look back and remember the great memories we made that day. I can't wait to show our future kids!! -

Lydia W. Sent on 12/30/2021Amazing photos, and Incredible experience working with BE Studios on our wedding day!
Mike and Voytek were absolutely fantastic. They were extremely organized, always on schedule, and new the venue and details of the day better than we did. In addition to their fantastic photography skills, my husband and I both felt like they were like our unofficial personal managers for the day, keeping us calm as we transitioned between locations, and helping us know where to be and when.
There were a few points when I started to freak out because I was slightly behind schedule, such as when I was so late getting ready for the Hindu ceremony that we decided to cancel the first look session, or when I couldn't find my white wedding dress right before the 2nd ceremony was supposed to start. During each of these times, Voytek assured me that he was already in contact with my wedding planner and everything was going to be just fine. His confident, relaxed presence calmed me (and my Mom and friends) down, and I was able to relax and enjoy the unpredictable moments of the day. When we received our photos, I was so surprised to see that the shots he snapped during these seemingly frantic moments came out absolutely stunning. The in-between moments like my Mom zipping my dress, and me putting on my shoes—All captured with elegant grace. Even when I felt stressed, he managed to make me look like a glowingly beautiful bride.
My husband and I had a unique and long wedding day lineup, with a South Indian Hindu ceremony, lunch & cocktail hour, followed by a Western exchange of rings and vows ceremony, and a reception downtown. There were multiple outfit changes for many people, and three separate locations. The photographs completely captured the special vibes of each part—The colorful, high-energy magic of the Hindu ceremony, the festive, cheerful casual interactions between guests and our close friends/family, the golden hour glow of the more serene Western ceremony, and the high-energy evening party vibe of the reception. The posed couple shots and family shots truly captured how radiantly glowing everyone was that day. And the unposed candid shots are an amazing way for us to look back fondly at how much fun all the guests were having.
Another thing we loved about Mike and Voytek was that they matched our energy, vibe and interests. When we were wandering around with them to do some couples shots after the family photos, they collaborated with us to take a whole set of amazing shots where my husband and I hopped a small fence and danced around on an abandoned dock, with the San Diego harbor in the background. The result was an amazing set of shots with us playfully climbing over the "Keep out" sign, with my white dress billowing in the wind. These unconventional shots captured our personality, and we felt like we were free to be ourselves with Mike and Voytek.
The photo delivery process was exactly as described and on time, and the quality/lighting/detail in the photos was absolutely fantastic. They captured the best aspects in the beauty of our day. I would recommend BE Studios to anyone looking for high-quality wedding or event photos. -

Absolutely the best!
Billy immediately made us feel like family during our first call. We decided to hire him and his team at BE Studios because we felt so comfortable with him and loved his personality. We also hired him because his portfolio was very impressive and resonated so well with us and who we are as a couple. We were looking for someone who could "see" the natural beauty and elegance in simple moments and capture all of the softness, as well as the pure joy, of our wedding day. We decided to book him for his top wedding package, which also included our engagement session.
Our engagement session was so intimate and exactly what we needed to feel comfortable in front of the camera. Billy directed us so effortlessly and he actually created many memories for us as a couple. We were lucky enough to capture our first sunset together at the beach with him and our photos are AMAZING. When it came time for our wedding, we already felt so much chemistry and trust with Billy that we weren't nervous in front of the camera at all and we believe this made such a difference in capturing all of the best moments of our wedding day. For all you couples out there, book for both engagement and wedding and let him do his thing. Trust what he has in mind and go with the flow when he’s shooting. He is incredible. We were so pleased in how he was able to visually capture our complete love story. BE Studios put together a video of our wedding day that somehow managed to perfectly capture the emotion and hope we felt throughout our day to our family and friends who weren’t able to attend. We are so grateful.
We truly believe Billy and his team are the best in the business. They are professional, but they are also caring and kind and FUN and this is really evident in their work. We look forward to having an opportunity to hire them again and highly recommend BE Studios for any of life's special moments you want captured!

Billy creates magic. We could not be happier with our wedding photos captured by him and Mike, our second photographer. They made us feel so confident and comfortable and we are so grateful. We loved every single photo, and they even took a bunch of photos of our guests which they really appreciated.They were energetic, engaging, and so much FUN to work with. And the photos are amazing! 10/10 would recommend every time!!!BE Studios's reply:
