The Wedding Memories

Reflecting on all of my favorite wedding memories, I cannot choose just one. Instead, I will leave you with some wise words.

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, so you want to make sure it's exciting and memorable.

Here are a few tips for making your wedding day even more exciting:

  • Forget about the timelines. The day will go by quickly, so don't stress about sticking to a rigid schedule. If you want to take a few extra minutes to soak up the atmosphere or have a longer dance with your dad, go for it! You'll never get this day back, so make the most of it.
  • Don't worry about the vendors. They're professionals and they know what they're doing. If something goes wrong, they'll be able to handle it. So relax and enjoy the show!
  • Let go of the stress. It's normal to feel a little bit stressed on your wedding day, but don't let it consume you. Take a few deep breaths and remind yourself that this is a day to celebrate your love. You're about to marry the person of your dreams, so there's no reason to be stressed!
  • Have fun! This is your day, so make sure you enjoy it. Dance, laugh, and celebrate with the people you love. This is your chance to let loose and have some fun, so don't hold back!

And one last piece of advice:

Don't be afraid to get a little dirty. Jump in the pool, the ocean, or even the bathtub. Your wedding dress or suit will be cleaned up afterwards, and you'll have some great memories to look back on.

We had an incredible experience with Russel and his team. Super professional, easy to work with, and a very talented group. They captured every moment we were hoping for, and our photos/video came out absolutely amazing. Couldn’t have asked for a better team to document our wedding—highly recommend.

Holden F.

Russ came highly recommended to me from a few friends and family who had worked with him in the past and I am so happy with how everything went for our wedding! He was so responsive and his knowledge helped immensely when planning our timeline for the day. The entire team was so amazing on our wedding day, and despite a slight hiccup with some rain and a last minute change to an indoor ceremony, they all pivoted so quickly and made sure we still got plenty of beautiful shots. The photos and videos turned out stunning and they captured our day so beautifully, I could not have asked for anything more!

Emily K.

We hired Russ and his team for our wedding day videography and had an amazing experience! From the start, Russ was professional, personable, responsive and so easy to work with. Russ captured every detail of our day so thoughtfully and really helped the entire day run so smoothly! The final video and trailer exceeded all of our expectations and brought us right back to the best day of our lives. We are so so grateful to have these memories preserved forever. If you’re looking to support a talented small business that truly cares about their couples, we highly recommend RF Films!

Kelli A.

My family and I have used RF Films for many Celebrations, including our wedding in July 2025. Each and every time the photo and video results are impeccable and go beyond our expectations. We were given an experience which came with great communication, flexibility, and understanding of what was to come on our big day. We highly recommend using RF Films, on your Big Day and any future celebrations! Quality is definitely their specialty!

Brandon V.

The finished product was pretty good (did pictures & video). We had Monika & Michelle for photos, Mike for video. All of them were very nice to work with.

Raina H.

RF Films was one of my favorite vendors to work with throughout the wedding planning process. After speaking with Russ the owner, we felt confident in hiring them the day of. He was very personable and willing to help with anything we needed throughout the planning process. We used them for both photo & video and they were nothing short of amazing from start to finish. Russ & his team (Michelle, Mickey, Anthony & Mike Lee) were very organized, professional and made sure to capture every moment that I had asked! Their package also included an engagement photoshoot & we worked with Michelle. She did a beautiful job and we absolutely loved all of our photos. The turnaround time for my final photo and video was also a huge plus! We got a video trailer within a week, my professional photos back within a month & my final video within 2 months so it was great to get to enjoy those moments shortly afterwards. We will definitely be using them again in the future and I would highly recommend hiring them for your wedding!

Jenna F.

We worked with RF Films for our wedding, and the final product was absolutely beautiful. The team captured the day so thoughtfully, from the emotional moments to the energy on the dance floor. The editing was professional, artistic, and truly reflected the spirit of our wedding. Russell, the owner, was very involved throughout the process and clearly takes great pride in his work. His communication and vision, having a clear sense of your own preferences and a little backbone goes a long way. His staff was kind, talented, and incredibly easy to work with, and they made us feel comfortable the entire day. We’re so grateful to have these memories so beautifully captured and would recommend them to others who are looking for gorgeous, cinematic wedding coverage.

We had the pleasure of working with RF Films for our wedding, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! From start to finish, the team was professional, friendly, and incredibly talented. Everything was carefully planned and well thought out to make sure that it was a smooth day. They were able to capture all the special moments of our big day in such a beautiful and cinematic way, making us feel like we were reliving the day every time we watched the video. The attention to detail was amazing — every emotion, laugh, and joyful moment was captured perfectly. The video was beautifully edited and really told the story of our wedding day. Both Michael and Russel were extremely easy to work with, they blended in seamlessly with the guests while still managing to get all the perfect shots. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better videography team. My husband and I are so thankful to have such a stunning video to look back on for years to come. If you're looking for a videographer who will capture the magic of your day, I highly recommend RF Films — you won’t be disappointed!

I don’t even know where to begin! First and foremost, if you have not booked a photographer & videographer yet, let me just say that RF films are absolutely incredible. Their communication is pristine, the flexibility that they have is amazing, and their work speaks for itself in how beautiful our pictures came out. Russ and his ENTIRE team are professional, kind, considerate, and all of the kind of qualities that you were looking for in a wedding photographer and/or videographer. My husband and I each had our own team of photographers and videographers, and everything was perfectly seamless and flowed exactly the way it should on our wedding day. All that to say, book RF Films! You will absolutely not regret it!

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

They listened to every request we had & made our day extremely relaxed. Every single photo from our day is perfect & I truly do not have enough things to say about how incredible of a job they did.

Russ and his entire team truly went above and beyond to make our day special.

Krissy G.

There just aren't enough words to possibly describe how amazing RF Film is. As most couples, we came into this experience with very little knowledge on what planning a wedding entailed. However working with RF film we were able to navigate this very detailed event. This was far and away the best experience we have had with photographers to date. Please do yourself a favor and do not pass up the chance to work with this team!

Rafael S.

Russ and his crew are absolutely amazing at what they do! He came highly recommended after doing many weddings for family and friends. Throughout the entire process he was amazing and really took the time to understand what we wanted! We used him for photography as well as videography and couldn’t have been happier in doing so. Our trailer, video and photos all came out amazing! 10/10 job!! Would highly recommend again!

Brian W.

Russ and his crew did the video for my wedding. They were a pleasure to work with and captured the entire day beautifully.

Russell was always available and generous in sharing tips to ensure the day was smooth and successful! We could not be more pleased with our experience.

Alexandra M.

RF did an amazing job and we are extremely happy we chose them for our wedding!

They not only coordinated the photography and videography, but also helped keep the day moving according to schedule. Thank you for everything!

Dana A.

I never write reviews for anything but for RF Films I felt I had to share what a wonderful experience we had. We used RF Films for photo and video for our wedding and I cannot say enough great things about Russell and his team. 

Weeks leading up to our wedding, Russell and his team were very organized and attentive in making sure we had a schedule in place for the day of and a list of photos that we wanted captured. Russell even double checked the schedule with me just in case anything changed with hair and makeup or our venue.

Fast forward to our wedding day, the team arrived on time and if not a bit earlier than scheduled. Russell and his team were helping us the whole time, he even ran to grab my lipstick for me when I needed to reapply. The additional photographer and videographer were so friendly and professional they knew how to liven up the room and get the mood going for photos. The team was keeping track of the time and ensured we stayed on schedule.

It makes it that much more comforting  when you know you have great people working with you, and I can honestly say RF Films were amazing and knocked it out of the park. They even had such a quick turnaround for our wedding photos and trailer video. The quality of the photos and our trailer video were breathtaking and the way they captured the whole day will make it truly unforgettable. You must book with RF films for your wedding for photo and video. 

Alexa T.

Russel and his team were amazing on my wedding day. They arrived on time, prepared and filled with so much energy. Russel is so personable and makes everyone around him laugh, he had myself and my bridesmaids cracking up all morning. Everyone is so talented and you can tell they genuinely love their jobs. I am so thankful I found RF Films because they truly alleviated a lot stress. Hire them you will not regret it!!!!
