    Incredible results and professionalism even in a big rainstorm!

    We were blown away by Jamileth and her team (especially lead videographer on staff Alejandro)! We have just received a sneak preview of our videos and they made us cry thinking back to all of the wonderful memories of the day. The highlights video looks like a movie trailer in the best way! On the day of, Alejandro and crew were incredibly upbeat, friendly and unobtrusive. We had planned a beach outdoor wedding and got a massive rainstorm right after our first look. Jamileth's team pivoted so quickly and graciously to help us capture the beautiful moments in this challenging circumstance. They acted with so much kindness towards our friends and family in this time. My mom couldn't stop raving about how kind the whole team was!

    We are so happy with our decision and the results. The videos came out clear and beautifully edited even though the storm could made lighting very challenging. Thank you so much for helping preserve these wonderful memories!

    Responsive, creative, and trustworthy videographer team!

    I was hesitant about booking a videographer for our destination wedding. I knew I wanted videos of my wedding, but can’t you just do that on an iPhone? The answer is technically, but when I received my wedding video from the DWS team, I realized a professionally edited video of your special day is 100% something you should invest in & leave the editing up to the professionals.

    Jamileth & the other videographers made my husband and I feel relaxed on our special day. The crew gave us some direction, but not too much where we felt we could not be ourselves. After reviewing the final video once, we were BOTH in tears of happiness- reliving every moment we wanted captured. I think I’ve watched it 20 times since receiving it just the other day.

    There was also one segment I wanted edited out from the final video where I said something goofy in my vows- Jamileth was completely understanding and edited the video and resent it my way within a few days. The DWS team should for sure be your top pick for your wedding day videographers. One last thing, 2 days after my wedding ended, I received an email from the videographers with a mini video sneak peak that completely blew my mind. It was a short clip, of our reception, where the videographers captured my guests and I viewing fireworks and it was just such a sweet thing to be sent right after the event ended to relive it all. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

    Very impressed!

    I had the honor to work with Jamileth for my Indian wedding in Costa Rica. She is so talented and very experienced. I was beyond impressed with her videography knowledge. It was a scorching 35C outside and she was working so hard and long to get the best shots. We received our final edits within a month of our wedding. I would not hesitate to work with her again and will definitely recommend her to anyone who is having their wedding in Costa Rica.

    Just do it!

    We loved working with Jamileth! I would not consider ourselves to be "naturals" in front of the camera but she made it very comfortable and you definitely couldn't tell from our videos! Hiring a Videographer was not high on our priority list for our wedding and it ended up being a last minute decision but I'm so happy we did it! She did such an awesome job capturing all the small details of the day, as well as, the the most important parts we never want to forget! I cannot recommend her enough!! Well worth the money spent on her services!

    Amazing videographer—Jamileth was great to work with!

    We had so much fun working with Jamileth and her team!! They were super professional and did an excellent job of directing us and making the entire photo/video shoot so much fun. I would 100% recommend Destination Wedding Stories to any bride/groom looking for a videographer for their big day! We also got a preview video back just a couple days after our wedding which we're obsessed with!! Jamileth captured the absolute best day of our lives so beautifully and we couldn't be happier.

    The Best Videography Team!

    We researched numerous videographers for our destination wedding in Costa Rica, and Destination Wedding Stories is simply the best videography team...no doubt about it! Jamileth and her team were phenomenal to work with and we feel so lucky to have found Jamileth to capture our wedding. Jamileth provided clear guidance and direction on our wedding day (from how to hold my bouquet, to hair placement, to how to bend my foot to make the wedding dress flow out while my husband twirled me in mid air). We also hired Destination Wedding Stories for a creative video session the day after our wedding. We filmed at La Fortuna waterfall and at two other locations. Jamileth and her team climbed hundreds of stairs, climbed over slippery rocks and uneven terrain, and trekked through water all to film our creative video session adventures! She helped me literally crawl out of the water many times, always with a kind smile on her face and such patience for the water footage that we wanted to capture. We recently received the ceremony video and it is absolutely stunning. It brought me to tears of how happy I felt reliving my wedding day. Destination Wedding Stories don't just create videos...they create masterpieces! You can rest assured that you will have the most amazing simply out of this world videos if you hire Jamileth with Destination Wedding Stories, simply the best videography team!

    Book them now! You won't regret it :)

    We just received our highlights video from Destination Wedding Stories and absolutely love it!! It is so fun getting to relive the best day ever and we cannot wait to watch it for years to come. The team also provided us with footage of the ceremony + FOB speech + first dances. These all were so special to re-watch and have forever. The team at DWS was amazing to work worth, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and provided us with beautiful video creations!! Could not recommend them enough!

    Best videography team

    DWS was without a doubt one of the best decisions we made when choosing vendors. The production quality is top notch and the team was so great to work with! During our wedding reception we received multiple compliments from guests about how impressive the photography/videography team was, and they definitely didn't disappoint. After our wedding ceremony we had a serious rainstorm that impacted our evening plans and set our timeline back a little bit. Our contacted time period was set to end and the DWS team didn't have a chance to capture footage of the reception. Being the high quality vendor that they are they were willing to extend the contract and stayed later to get additional footage for our wedding video. Overall they did an amazing job capturing our special day and we loved working with the DWS team!

    One word: phenomenal

    Outstanding work this company did.
    I am in complete shock at how amazing our wedding video came out!! It had EVERYTHING I could’ve ever imagined all piled into one video. When asked if I could get a few extra clips for memory for a fee, they were on it so quick. Well worth the wait. Well worth the money. Just absolutely amazing. Everything is pieced together so perfect. And the music goes great. Would be happy to share my amazing video!
    The photo posted was done by another photographer but posted to get your attention. I can brag about this videographer company for days. Great great work

    Outstanding experience!

    We are SO thrilled with our decision to have Jamileth and Alejandro capture our wedding day! Our videos are so touching and emotional. And the editing is outstanding and so thoughtful. They gave great direction and lots of encouragement on the day-of, which helps when you might be a bit awkward in front of the camera :)

    All of our guests were talking about how great they were and everyone has been so impressed with our wedding videos. We'll definitely cherish these memories for the rest of our lives!

    A Perfect Day in Paradise

    Alejandro and Jamileth were such a great professional team for our destination wedding on the beautiful Santa Teresa Beach in Costa Rica. Not only did they put together our zoom wedding so our friends in the US could watch but also created a beautiful video that brought us to tears remembering our perfect day in paradise. We can't wait to share it with all our friends at our wedding celebration in June in Colorado. You guys rock. Love to you!

    Loved our wedding videos!

    We're so lucky to have found DW Stories to serve as our videography team for our wedding day. We were looking for a very distinct style of footage - more cinematic and lively - rather than purely romantic. Alejandro had a call with us beforehand, asking us questions and showing us a lot of examples of his work, to make sure that he understood our vision. With his direction on the day of and Jamileth's editing to the songs of our choice, we ended up with beautiful videos that we were excited to share with our family and friends. We received tons of compliments on our teaser cut! They quickly accommodated our requests for re-edits and always interacted with us with a high level of professionalism and attention to detail. Highly recommend!

    Thank you so much for your great feedback, we loved working with you, you were amazing and the wedding day was really beautiful and so much fun!! Thank you for trusting us with your wedding video coverage Alicia and Gregory!! :)

    Emotional. Stunning. Cry-Worthy

    My husband and I eloped to Costa Rica just the two of us and upon receiving this video, Omg I just bawled my eyes out. It is beautiful, emotional, stunning. My stomach is in knots just watching it and re living our special moment. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect team to capture our special day. Thank you so much for our AMAZING video. Thank you thank you thank you! I highly recommend DWS.

    Love is Not Cancelled

    In a world of pandemic uncertainties, Jamileth and her team assured us LOVE is not cancelled! We booked our daughter’s wedding 9 months PRIOR to the pandemic and were lucky enough to have secured an amazing film and photography team. We own our own production company in Texas so our expectations were very high. From the very beginning Jamileth warmly welcomed us, carefully listened to every request and assured us that she would do everything possible to make it the most special day. This was a destination wedding at The Springs Resort and Spa in La Fortuna Costa Rica and very difficult to plan from the U.S. in general. Fast forward to the borders and the resort closing for MANY months and despite all of that, she still worked hard at planning and keeping a positive outlook for us even when I was stressed and unsure. She came up with resolutions and suggestions for EVERYTHING and responded so promptly to absolutely everything I asked of them. We tasked them with unusual requests up until the very minute the bride walked down the aisle (45 min late I might add) however DW Stories delivered a solution with absolute perfection every single time! They always set my mind at ease and Jamileth quickly became more like a friend, taking genuine interest in our unique situation. It was very apparent that this wasn’t just a job, she really cared about the experience and the outcome. After a year and a half of planning, thankfully the wedding was held on the original date. Her calm demeanor and reassurance that our vision would be carried out was beyond our expectations. The money we invested in them allowed us to capture the most beautiful and magical week we could have ever asked for. The memories made will never be forgotten but the stress leading up to the big day are now a distant memory because of the beautiful keepsake we now have. If every wedding was filmed, photographed, and cared for in this way, you would never have an unhappy bride! The quality of the final products are something indescribable and worth every cent. We continue to watch it over and over thanking God we could make this happen for our daughter and her new husband. It allows us all to relive a moment we never wanted to end. Words can't possibly express the gratitude we have to their entire team! Pura Vida!

    Incredible wedding video!

    Our wedding highlight’s video from DW Stories was amazing, it captured the whole day in a romantic, eloquent, comprehensive, and touching way. I tear up every time I watch it! We also received high quality videos of the ceremony, speeches, and first dance, which enables us to remember those important moments forever. They worked really well with our photographer and their partner Toh, so that both got everything they needed. Highly recommend, definitely a no-brainer investment in your big day!

    Wonderful Experience for Destination Wedding

    We worked with Jamileth López and her team to capture our wedding day - everything from getting ready in our rooms to our ceremony to drone shots of our guests and the party! They were such a breeze to work with and did great quality work. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional wedding photographers in Costa Rica!
