    Favorite Vendor

    Booking this company was the best decision I made during the planning process! They are incredibly responsive and helpful with any questions we had. Our amazing photographer, Chris, captured the most beautiful photos. I can’t say enough good things. Highly recommend!

    Hello Sara, thank you for your kind review! We're happy to hear that Chris was able to capture those beautiful memories for you. We appreciate your recommendation.

    Stephanie was amazing!

    Stephanie was beyond amazing to work with! Highly recommend and I’m sure we’ll be hiring her for future photography sessions. She made us feel so comfortable during the engagement shoot and on our wedding day. It was great to work with her at the engagement shoot to get a feel for her style before the big day. We aren’t huge into social media and a ton of pictures but she calmed our nerves and walked us through the entire photo shoot with ease. I honestly can’t recommend Stephanie enough! So amazing!!

    Hello Chelsae, thank you for sharing your great experience with Stephanie! We’re happy to know that she was able to make you feel at ease and deliver such fantastic photos for your engagement and wedding.

    Beyond our expectations!

    I had no idea how to look for a wedding photographer! I started with price, and I thought byDesign was very reasonable. Our experience from start (meeting with Nora) to finish, was amazing. Since Nora couldn't take the pictures (we loved her,) she matched us with Maryana and Leland, who were professional, kind, creative with their photo spots and very direct with their instruction, which we so appreciated. And then...the pictures came (in a very timely manner I might add,) and WOW...just wow..they are BEAUTIFUL! I also feel like Maryana and Leland did not miss any opportunities to take important pictures. Thank you byDesign for creating such a lasting memory for us!!

    byDesign Photo + Films's reply:

    Hi Julie, it sounds like your experience with us, from meeting Nora to getting your beautiful pictures from Maryana and Leland, was everything you hoped for. We're delighted to know that they captured your day perfectly and that the process was smooth and professional. Your appreciation for the memories we helped create is what drives us. Thank you for sharing!

    Hire this company!

    We had the best experience working with byDesign Photo + Film. From the start, the communication was amazing and our questions were always answered in a timely manner. Our photographers Jeremy and Daniel were so much fun to work with. Being someone who isn’t photogenic, I was so nervous about taking pictures, but after a phone call with Jeremy leading up to the wedding I knew I was in good hands. He truly made me feel so comfortable. Our pictures are flawless. I highly recommend hiring this company!

    byDesign Photo + Films's reply:

    Hello Brittani, thank you for choosing us! We're pleased to know that our communication was amazing and that Jeremy and Daniel made your experience enjoyable. It's also great to hear that Jeremy helped you feel comfortable, and we're thrilled to learn that your pictures turned out flawless.

    Exceptional Wedding Videography Experience with byDesign Films!

    We recently had the pleasure of working with byDesign Films for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, our experience with them was simply outstanding.

    First and foremost, the team at byDesign Films did an exceptional job capturing every precious moment of our special day. They were professional, unobtrusive, and truly understood how to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Their attention to detail was evident, ensuring that nothing was missed.

    What truly sets byDesign Films apart is their flexibility and willingness to work closely with their clients. We were thrilled to have full control over the editing process of our wedding video. This allowed us to personalize our video to perfectly match our vision and tell our unique love story. The team was patient and accommodating, making sure our every request was met.

    Their dedication to customer satisfaction is truly commendable. We couldn't have asked for a more stress-free and enjoyable experience!

    Beautiful Photos

    We got married on 5/5/23 and hired ByDesign as our photographer. Our photographer Ronnie was great and since they are a bigger company we got our photos about 3 weeks after our wedding day, which we were really please about. The photos came out gorgeous and would definitely work with out photographer again.

    byDesign Photo + Films's reply:

    Hey Nancie, we're so grateful for your wonderful review! It brings us immense joy to know that we were able to capture the essence of your wedding day and deliver photographs that you love. Your warm and appreciative feedback regarding our star talent photographer, Ronnie, brings us immense joy. It is truly incredible to learn about the positive experience you had with him. It was an honor to be a part of your celebration and we're thrilled that you had a positive experience with us. Thank you for your support!

    A dream come true

    I could not be more grateful we chose this company to capture our wedding day and the beautiful moments it encompassed. From start to finish, including the introductory call through to the final product, everything was well-organized, detailed, personal and catering to our preferences. We planned this New York-wedding from California and felt so comfortable in their hands. Our photographer was a DREAM! We first met him for our engagement session and he went above and beyond! And our wedding pictures, my gosh - they are stunning and captured the true love expressed on that day. The icing on the cake was the video, which I may or may not watch every day haha. Not only is their work professional and very well done, but in their hands, you can rest assured your beautiful moments will be captured by their team.

    byDesign Photo + Films's reply:

    We're incredibly grateful for your positive review, Megan! It's wonderful to hear that you had a great experience with our wedding photography and cinematography services. Capturing the precious moments and emotions of your special day was a true privilege for us. We are so delighted to hear about your experience with our photographer and cinematographer. It is incredible to hear about such experiences all the time. Thank you for your kind words and for allowing us to be a part of your unforgettable memories.

    An Amazing Wedding Experience

    We are so incredibly happy that we went with ByDesign for our videography. They were extremely helpful with customizing our videography package to match our vision for the wedding day. We purchased the same day edit package, so we could play our first look footage at the reception. The team was extremely timely and productive to make this happen in a short amount of time. Our friends and family were blown away with the short film and loved the ability to witness such a private and intimate moment for the two of us. It added a super personal and unique touch to our wedding that our guests had not seen done at other weddings. ByDesign is the reason this element was executed so well. Not to mention, our wedding day was outdoors for the first look, ceremony, and reception; a huge thunderstorm was in the forecast that day. They did an outstanding job of capturing aerial footage of the different locations before the terrible weather hit. For these reasons, we are extremely pleased and glad we made the decision to go with ByDesign. We look forward to relive our wedding day on our one year anniversary and cannot wait to show our children in years to come. :)

    The best film team there ever was!

    The byDesign team exceeded every expectation I had. From the very beginning, I felt like capturing every moment was their top priority, and they went above and beyond throughout the entire day. Tim also arrived early to check in with me, see what I needed, and worked with the rest of my vendor team to truly capture everything! I was so grateful and overwhelmed with all that our wedding day brought, and I am so confident that the video footage will help us relive the magic and emotion for the years to come!
