"a pleasure to work with -
the consummate professional."
Heather Baroni | Los Angeles, CA
"Brian, thank you so much for your services on the day of our wedding [at Lake Como, Italy]! You captured the beauty of our wedding day in spectacular fashion. Our trailer and film are stunning. Thank you so much for capturing these moments - absolutely breathtaking. It brings us right back to the joy and love we shared with all our guests, on our special day. Your work will continue to put a smile on our faces, and remind us to slow down during the stressful and difficult times in our lives. How fortunate we got to work with a brilliant artist like yourself - you are a creative genius!
Even better, thank you for your friendship, which we will continue to cherish. Your presence made everything so much easier. It was probably the best decision of the entire wedding to hire you. You made us at ease, and your direction and translation helped save the day. We're so grateful that we made a friend out of this entire planning process...you made everything come together for our day. We couldn't have been happier to work with you. You were a blessing the day of! We look forward to keeping in touch, and continuing to follow your journey, through all your amazing projects, around the world. xx"

"Wow, Brian. We are so thankful and humbled by our film. Seriously the most beautiful, profound, and personal recording of our wedding day. Someday, our future grandchildren will get a chance to travel back in time, to this special day, because of you. You have done an amazing job. Thank you for this gift. We are forever grateful. May God bless you more than you have blessed us.
Everybody, you will want Brian to produce your wedding film."

"Words cannot express how grateful we are to you. Our film is amazing, and brings us right back to that special day.
I had the honor of working with Brian on my wedding day. Brian captured all the special moments without being intrusive. He created the most wonderful wedding film that brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it.
Brian was such a pleasure to work with, and the consummate professional. I recommend him to any bride looking for an extra special way to capture the memory of her wedding day. Thank you again, Brian!!"

"Having these memories of such a fun and happy day, captured forever in such a vivid and moving way, is something we could never have even imagined! A million thank-yous...so happy!
We had a great time with Brian and his team over our wedding weekend. Brian was extremely professional at all stages during the day. He was sensitive to our needs, allowing our wedding day to roll without interruptions, letting the day flow naturally. He was open to new ideas, and was very flexible with surprises and when plans changed, taking this in stride. The guests really enjoyed chatting with Brian, who took time to get to know our family, and treated it like a great occasion, rather than just a 'video shoot.'
He was very courteous and kind to all our guests, and fit in with everyone.
The main thing is we were very comfortable with Brian. We definitely recommend him."

"Thank you for putting so much care, affection, professionalism, and sensitivity into [my daughter's film]!"
Alfredo A.
Lisbon, Portugal
"I HIGHLY recommend Brian Wilmott! He covered my wedding, from prep to the sparkler send-off. Extremely professional and made everyone feel comfortable...not intrusive nor bothersome.
When Brian sent us the link to our film, we were ecstatic. Whenever we watch it, we are blown away and overfilled with so much love and joy. His films are top-notch, and truly professional. We could not be more thrilled. It perfectly depicts the most amazing day of our lives!
Originally, we were not going to hire a videographer. Brian happened to be a referral so we thought, let's just give this a try. So happy we did! Following the wedding, all we wanted to do was relive the day over again; it just went by too fast! With our film, we get to relive our wedding day, every day!
If you are not hiring Brian, you are making a mistake! I highly recommend him for your upcoming wedding!"

"We are so happy to have this memento, to remind us of our incredible Irish [wedding] adventure, and to share with friends and family. We have received countless compliments on our wedding film. We are so happy with it! Every time we watch it, we remember incredible details that could easily have been forgotten. Choosing to have our day filmed is, hands down, the best decision we made!
Brian and his team captured our wedding in Gougane Barra, Ireland. He is a tenacious, creative, and hard working young filmmaker who is bound to go places! We were not originally planning to have our wedding filmed due to budget constraints. After discussing with Brian, we decided to go ahead. This was the BEST decision we made! Professional, prepared, and flexible, Brian consistently went above and beyond the call of duty to capture all of the little pieces that made our day amazing. Brian has an incredible eye for detail, and his video-editing is amazing. When we were deciding how to capture our wedding abroad, we both felt it was important that we be allowed to be ourselves. There were so many times when we forgot we were even being filmed!
A wise friend told us before we got married that you will only frame and use a few of the wedding photos - the iconic ones that your kids see - but a video will capture the feel, tone, and spirit of the day. They couldn't have been more right! We have lots of photos between our families members of the day, but they don't come close to capturing what our film has captured, which we are so lucky to have. If you are having a wedding abroad, we highly recommend him!"

Lauren and Mark
Calgary, Canada
"We love [our film]!!! I'm in tears right now!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you Brian, for your amazing work! And thank you for being on top of everything. You seriously made this process so positive.
Let me start off by saying that if it had not been for Brian being so detail-oriented we would have had a catastrophic ceremony!
We were not planning on having a videographer for our wedding and at the last minute we received a referral. We met with Brian that same week and signed the contract on the spot. He was not pushy nor did he try to up-sell his services (which we all know happens in the wedding industry often).
Brian contacted our church - being the professional that he is - and went on location to know the rules they had for videographers during the ceremony. He later sent us an email asking if we were aware that our church had double-booked our wedding - same day and same time!!! We would have never known until our wedding day.
​
Besides that major save, Brian made it so easy for my fiancé and I to enjoy the special moments we had, without feeling like someone was watching every move we made. We cannot thank Brian enough! We thank him so much for being his professional self. We highly recommend him to anyone and everyone."

Kathya and William

"I cried 5 seconds in! We love [our film]! Thank you for capturing everything so well!
We were so fortunate to find Brian! He was great to work with...professional, kind and very talented. He captured our wedding beautifully, and we wouldn't change a thing about our film.
Brian manages to capture everything you want without being in your face (which I've seen with other wedding videographers)!
I HIGHLY recommend him. My husband and I will be enjoying our film for a lifetime."
Mandi B.
Los Angeles, California | USA
"I'm one of those girls that likes a good love story. I know when it's a good one because I usually need a tissue.
Brian joined us for my daughter's wedding on Italy's Amalfi Coast. It was truly a pleasure to get to know him. He is a very smart, kind, and talented guy. His films are amazing. I highly recommend him. Thank you, Brian...you made me cry. One of the best short films I have ever seen. Thank you for capturing her love story."

"I was able to work alongside Brian at a wedding. I was the photographer, and he was the videographer. I want to thank Brian for communicating with me throughout the day, so we could both get some killer photos and video of the bride and groom. I now refer Brian to my future clients!"
​

"All anyone has to do is meet Brian - or have a fifteen minute conversation with him - and they will sense his passion. If you know someone who needs a cinematographer for a special occasion - such as a destination wedding - check out Brian. Not only does he make lovely films, but he's a nice guy."
​
Susan E.

"Brian, oh my goodness. THANK YOU SO MUCH for our archival video. We sat together and watched our wedding day, from your lens. We saw a few things we missed, recalled moments, and were so emotional. We're elated to have seen it, and the great work you did. Thank you again for capturing our special day!!!"

“My fiancé and I traveled from Texas to get married in California. Brian had sent us an email on our wedding website. He is from that general area and expressed interest in filming ours to do more domestic weddings for personal and health reasons. We were interested to learn more about his proposal and ideas. He was nice to chat with...
He shared his backstory and made time to learn about us, asked about our wedding details, and how we met. Of all our vendors, he was the only person to make this effort which was nice. He explained his "why" and "how" about his philosophy and work. He also let us ask questions. We felt comfortable throughout our interaction with him.
Before the wedding, he made an introduction to our photographer, wedding coordinator, and DJ. He also checked the audio capabilities at our venue to make sure he had backup methods to capture our dialogue audio. On our wedding morning, he was early and comfortable, respectful, and conversational with all our guests. He stayed til the end of the nighy to make sure every important event and moment was captured. After our celebration we received a lovely trailer and short film to remmember our wedding day and to share with our guests and family. Was a very good experience working with him, affordable, and a pleasant surprise to have this service. We are grateful he reached out to us."
Allison R.
Dallas, Texas | USA
"Brian contacted me through my wedding page to offer his wedding videography services. My fiancé and I considered his cinematic style but we settled on basic documentary video service because of our budget. Was absolutely worth having all of these memories preserved. Thanks to Brian for reaching out to us and helping capture our wedding day from start to send-off. Worth every penny.
He's a nice guy, from the LA area, provides professional service, and a quick turnaround. He has done fancy destination weddings but I think he's starting to focus on local weddings again because of personal health issues. My husband and I will recommend him to anyone needing wedding video services in SoCal and West Coast areas for sure!"
Cassidy R.
Los Angeles, California | USA
"Brilliant! Brian was highly recommended by a friend who used his video services. Superb communication, planning, and execution. Had a very positive experience working with him. His work style is very efficient and not invasive. Before filming, he provided lots of creative input and suggestions to complement my own instead of dictating everything. He was chatty in a nice conversational way. Pleasant to work with. Very engaging personality. He seems to be very versatile in his style and project types so I would happily recommend him to anyone who needs professional video production services."
Benjamin H.
Seattle, Washington | USA
"Fantastic! Brian was phenomenal to work with. Highly professional, enthusiastic, and kind. Great personality and easy to collaborate with.
After exchanging some ideas via phone and email (for a corporate video project), we set a shoot date. Filming went smoothly, and he was great to be around. Very conversational with a sense of humor. Passionate about what he does.
His video work is terrific and he travels for many projects. Pricing was reasonable and turnaround was relatively quick without compromising quality. Definitely recommend him for cinematic-style videos productions. Five stars."
James R.
Vancouver, BC | Canada
"Very good experience with Brian Wilmott and his studio. He is enthusiastic, creative, and easy to work with. I used Brian for a corporate branding video project. We shared many ideas and concepts over the phone. He was very conversational and prompt in communicating via email and text. Filming date was rescheduled but he let me know so we could coordinate a revised date and time.
Overall, Brian was very professional and nice. His work is top-quality and served the purpose of conveying my company's mission and image. Pricing was reasonable. His workflow was efficient and not obtrusive, and his editing and delivery time did not take too long. I am happy with the final video which met my expectations. I do not hesitate recommending Brian for video production services, particularly for corporate branding and marketing videos."
Chris B.
Seattle, Washington | USA
"Brian was truly a delight to work with. Kind, personable, articulate, and a great sense of humour. Of course his videowork speaks for itself. Even during some health setbacks, he remained professional and communicative with me, which I greatly appreciate.
Fantastic service, reasonable pricing, quality product, and a positive experience that exceeded my expectations. I absolutely recommend Brian if you have video needs for events or branding and seek a professional cinematic style instead of an average video product."
PJ A.

“Prior to our wedding in Italy, Brian had exceptional communication through phone and email, which helped relieve my 'bride anxiety.' By the time we finally met in person, Brian had already spent weeks researching logistics and additional locations. He was a pleasure to be around, and went above and beyond the call of duty.
​
Brian’s films look like big-budget motion pictures, yet still maintain a romantic and sentimental core. It’s pure genius! He has a gift. When my husband and I sat down to watch our film, we were blown away! I can’t even begin to express the gratitude our family has for all that he has captured and preserved for us on our special day. He also provided us with a 'trailer' and 'archival videos.'
​
To a bride-to-be: I can honestly say that your wedding day will truly be one of the best days of your life. However, it goes by in the blink of an eye. Having a high-quality film is critical. Yes, photos are great for your wall, but your film captures the true emotions and memories of the day, and your personality.
Early in our planning, we had reviewed our budget and considered cutting out video altogether. Thank god we didn’t, because Brian was worth every penny. If you are even considering hiring him, take my advice and do it! You will be blown away by his talent and what you receive!”

"Brian has been truly excellent to work with. He is talented, engaging, and professional - and creates quality video content with a very quick turnaround. His style fits our brand perfectly and offers a fresh perspective to our local market. I am happy with the way everything turned our and will definitely continue to work with him in the future."
Peter Coppard, Realtor

"Brian was a 5-star experience from the beginning. We were looking for a videographer to produce a video of our team, for our website. Around that time, Brian reached out with a very clean and professional email that stood out from other emails we had seen. So we jumped on a call. He was extremely approachable and on board with all of our ideas. He understood our vision and executed it to perfection. We are so happy with our video and we definitely have a videographer for life."
Melissa Esnal & Lisa Gipe, Realtors

"Brian was amazing to work with. He is very detail-oriented and has a great eye for video (and photos). I love that he is open to suggestions but also has his own experience and ideas. I would love to work with him again, for my upcoming real estate listings."
Rocky Poulin, Realtor
Kirkland, Washington | USA
"Brian was an invaluable asset when I listed a large property in Brentwood. His video made the property come alive, showed many aspects not otherwise seen, and also showed the great location via aerial shots. I highly recommend him for any real estate production. He is responsive, communicative, and very talented!"
