Cathy Sent on 07/10/2022Kaiel is the best videographer!
Kaiel was our videographer for our microcereomy/elopement recently and all my husband and I can say is that WE LOVE KAIEL. He is very responsive, fun to work with, and has such an infectious energy. We had such a wonderful time during our engagement session and on our wedding day (highly recommend an engagement session as it allows you to get to know each other and he can cut some scenes in your wedding video).
While it is clear that his work is gorgeous and so unique, we feel what sets him apart from others is his amazing personality and thoughtfulness. He is so kind and did many things for us the day of that is definitely above and beyond (ie made sure both of us drank enough water, helped with some set up at the ceremony site, made sure we held hands during the ceremony when we got nervous and forgot, and so much more). We would happily recommend him to any of my friends and family. -

Noemi A. Sent on 03/21/2020Kaiel is an AMAZING videographer!
You can tell that Kaiel really enjoys his work and that he is very passionate about it. Not only that, but he really takes care of his clients, and he is SO chill! My husband and I felt super comfortable around him throughout the entire process - from the initial phone call through our wedding day. I remember arriving to the venue for our first look feeling super nervous and anxious because we were running late. He greeted me as soon as I arrived and instantly made me feel calm as he guided me to our first look. Throughout the day he was cracking jokes, making sure we had a drink when we needed it, willing to help with whatever came up, and he also got along really well with our photographer and other vendors. We initially hired him for our wedding because we LOVE the style of his work, but his positive personality also shines through. Naturally, he captured our wedding very beautifully, and we cannot stop watching our highlight video (which he also got back to us very quickly). Last but not least - he is super organized and communicative. He would check-in regularly months before the wedding, and he also provided us with a questionnaire, so that he fully understood exactly what we wanted him to capture. We're looking forward to referring him to all of our friends and family for their events, and we hope to have him capture more of our life events in the future! -

Christina C. Sent on 03/19/2020Would definitely recommend!
I’m so grateful that we chose Kaiel as our wedding videographer. While searching for videographers online, through recommendations, social media or wherever, his videos immediately stood out to me. Out of all the videographers we saw, even ones that have done hundreds of weddings, his style and editing was the best we’ve seen. From the first phone call I could tell he was very nice, professional, and loves what he does. He also has great energy which was so helpful for making me feel comfortable during my wedding. He was so easy to work with throughout the whole process and was always available to talk or video chat with us and work with us with any questions or changes we had. We really appreciate everything he did for us! If I could redo my wedding I would still choose him. Would definitely recommend! -

Impressive videographer!
Kaiel is an impressive videographer!!! He recently shot our elopement in Joshua Tree.
He produced an impressive video, provided stellar customer service, offered competitive pricing, was highly professional and an absolute joy to be around.
I wish I could give him 10 stars. ⭐️ Not only did I receive an amazingly produced video, I was able to pull over 100 photos from the raw footage/final version. The video stills were far superior to the images received from the photographer in both quality and artistic representation. Hands down he was the perfect addition to our special day.
We highly recommend Cali Viewfinders. We look forward to working with him again. We have found our videographer of choice! One of the very best planning decisions we made.
Don’t hesitate, book him today! -

N Sent on 09/11/2019Highly Recommend!!
We hired Cali Viewfinders as our videographer for our wedding in June 2019! I cannot express how happy we were with them!!! Highly recommend them as your videographer for any event! We came across Cali Viewfinders by searching online and viewing his videos/work products which we loved. My husband and I both looked at various other videgraphers work and we both picked Cali Viewfinders as our #1 choice! First and foremost, from day one, Kaiel (the owner of Cali Viewfinders) was extremely responsive. He is also very kind and patient. I had a lot of questions about our wedding video since I had no idea how it worked. We hopped on a call and he took the time to explain all the details. I still had a lot of questions leading up to the wedding which again, he took the time to answer. He was in a great mood the day of the wedding and took his job seriously. He turned around the video much sooner than we thought he would... literally in less than one month! P.S... I've heard a lot of horror stories about not receiving videos timely.. and we most definitely did not have that problem! They also took drone footage of our venue which was really neat. Again, Kaiel was very patient with me/us in editing the video and we've already watched it numerous times. We absolutely love the video... everything from the quality.... the shots he included.. the timing of every clip in the video.. everything is what we wanted. Again, highly recommend hiring Cali Viewfinders as our videographer!!!! They exceeded our expectations with a video we can't wait to share with our kids and grandchildren! -

Katie V. Sent on 12/01/2022Gorgeous Videography for my Big Day Highlight Video
I used Shore & Wave for my wedding videography after I saw their photography and videography in my best friend's wedding. Highly recommend! I had a great experience with them as well. I had their second shooter doing the filming and Kaiel (owner) doing the editing and highlight video. I trusted them both completely and the product met my expectations (which, as a bride, were naturally high expectations.) I was not able to add the video to this review, but here are screenshots from it. They totally captured every important moment perfectly. I have already watched my video back dozens of times.
I can't believe I almost skipped paying for videography. In hindsight, it is a MUST. Plus, you get the raw footage of the entire event. So amazing. Thank you, Shore & Wave -

Tiffany S. Sent on 11/27/2019Best videographer/photographer you can find!
I asked Cali Viewfinders to shoot our engagement photos. What most people don't realize is posing for pictures is awkward, even if it's with your best friend and love of your life. Kaiel made the entire photo session very easy and comfortable. The pictures came out amazing and natural.
Because Kaiel is a wedding videographer he offered the service as well. I always had it set in my mind that a wedding video wasn't what I wanted. But after seeing his work on highlight videos, I changed my mind. He was there on our wedding day capturing loads of video time but was never in the way. He was capturing moments for our video and I didn't even realize it. Three days after our wedding he turned around our video. I was shocked at his quick work! And the highlight video is the most cherished thing I have of our wedding. It's beautiful and romantic and tear jerking. Hire Cali Viewfinders!!
