What our couples rave about
AUTHENTIC, DOCUMENTARY-STYLE APPROACH
We didn't want anything overly produced or staged, and their relaxed, documentary-style approach was exactly what we were looking for... The team was incredible to work with - calm, kind, easygoing - and they blended right in. Nothing felt staged or forced.
Devon Tucker · Santa Barbara, CA
Brandon was truly a fly on the wall... So easygoing and unobtrusive, which we especially appreciated since we don't consider ourselves very natural in front of the camera.
Emily + Jeff · Fallbrook, CA
Boundaries are super important on a personal occasion like a wedding, and I could sense the Sun Beat guys were totally attuned to where we did and did not want coverage... Most importantly, they didn't make themselves seen or heard, and while they were a great group of shooters and fun to chat with, sometimes in a wedding you just want the crew to 'blend in'.
Casey Acaster · Santa Barbara, CA
Comfort and ease in front of camera
I can't say enough positive things about these guys. They made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which is a feat unto its own.
Eli Berg · Palm Springs, CA
Both my husband and my child are camera-shy, but the team made us all feel so comfortable. They were warm, fun, and truly a joy to be around. Our son often talks about how fun it was to hang out with them all day!
Jennifer Tran · Palm Springs, CA
Miah was so nice and fun to hangout with. He made us feel really comfortable even when we usually get awkward in front of cameras. Everyone at our wedding loved him and he captured so many great moments.
Andrea Stager · San Diego, CA
Creative and unique artistic vision
If you want your wedding video to be expertly unique and something out of a music video, then look no further than Sun Beat Films. I absolutely loved our wedding video and genuinely made me feel FOMO for my own wedding... just because their aesthetic evokes cool.
Alyssa Fabia · South Lake Tahoe, CA
The wedding videos that they produce are definitely not your run of the mill wedding films full of corny speeches and monologues. Expect a video that absolutely captures the overall essence of your wedding along with a point of view from your friends and family.
Kenny Ashley · South Lake Tahoe, CA
I've gotten so many compliments already on how the finished product had such an amazing artistic flair-something different than all the cookie cutter films out there.
Samantha Woo · Santa Susanna, CA
Emotional impact and rewatchability
When Miah and Brittany sent over our finished video I was in full blown tears. I still am. I'm not kidding I have watched it about 1,000 times since they sent it to us last night.
Brianna Illo · Catalina, CA
We are so absolutely obsessed with our wedding film done by Sunbeat Films!!! I think we have watched it already like 10 times. Our only complaint was that we didn't choose the longer film option cause their edits and creativity is so wild and perfect!
Sabrina Parker · Cabo San Lucas, MX
We kept rewatching because every time we notice another little detail they somehow caught... If you're on the fence about a videographer - hire Sun Beat. It's the best decision we made. We'll treasure this video forever!
Devon Tucker · San Diego, CA
Professionalism and seamless communication
Miah flew out from Hawaii and arrived right on time on our wedding day. He was extremely friendly, energetic, and dynamic, and immediately got to know all our other vendors... He was also so effortlessly in sync with our photographer that all our guests assumed they were a long-standing team from the same company (they were not!).
Andrew Saarni · Santa Ynez, CA
Everything from the booking process, communication leading up to the wedding, the pre-wedding call, and the wedding itself were all seamlessly smooth... I want to also add that communication post-wedding was also excellent.
Ashley Vanchure · Simi Valley, CA
The team did a great job, communicating pre wedding, capturing day of, and giving us an amazing end product. Our videographer did a great job capturing moments in a way that felt organic and the end product captured the energy/vibe of the day perfectly!
Hannah Ochs · Santa Cruz, CA
Personality and vibe
Miah and Britt were the absolute best from start to finish - I could not have felt more comfortable having them shoot our wedding which was huge for us. They felt like a couple of friends just joining in on the festivities.
Moriah Kerr · Hemet, CA
Miah was there the day of and was such a joy to work, he fit right in with all our friends and family, he was very professional, and honestly I wish he could've have stayed and partied with us afterwards.
Dylan Locktie · Palm Springs, CA
Brittany and Miah are a dream team: equal parts professional, warm, and effortlessly fun to be around. From the very beginning, they made us feel so comfortable and cared for, blending into the festivities like old friends who just happened to have cameras.
Yu-Chen Shih · Kona, HI
Personalization
One thing that immediately stood out to us was their music selection. It perfectly complemented their films and felt modern, intentional, and fun. We can't recommend booking a videographer, and Sun Burst Films in particular, enough.
Emily + Jeff · Fallbrook, CA
Even better was the edit they put together. They truly absorbed who my wife and I are as people and told our story beautifully.
Steven Wilcox · Zion, UT
Our wedding was at our house and we tried to show a lot of our personality through the ceremony/party — they captured it PERFECTLY and even chose the perfect music to embody us in the final film. Top notch.
Moriah Kerr · Hemet, CA
Attention to detail
They caught moments we didn't even see happening and turned them into some of the most meaningful parts of the film... We kept rewatching because every time we notice another little detail they somehow caught.
Devon Tucker · Santa Ynez, CA
They captured the day in such a beautiful and creative way and did not miss a single detail.
Emma Woods · Palm Springs, CA
It was the best day of our lives, but it's a blur, and we are thankful they helped us capture it in this way. We were able to see so many other moments that we missed during the day.
Vivian Yee · San Clemente, CA
Value of raw footage
What was a real bonus is the hard drive with all of the RAW footage you'll receive after the edited video is done. Having a beautifully edited video AND all of our ceremony, dances, speeches and other footage of our day is priceless to us, and well worth the cost of working with these guys.
Ashley Vanchure · Santa Ynez, CA
Another thing that is incredibly great about Sun Beat is they will share all the raw footage with you. We're incredibly excited to have full coverage of our ceremony, speeches, and other events as memories! While looking for video vendors, we did not find any other vendors that had this available.
Brynne Dailey · Palm Springs, CA
I truly love our wedding video and watch it on repeat from time to time when I want to relive our special day. I love that we also got to keep the footage so we could watch individual speeches and moments that didn't necessarily want in our shorter video.
Alicia Manzure · San Clemente, CA
Worth the investment
Initially, we were unsure if we even wanted a videographer, as many wedding videos we'd seen didn't resonate with us or feel like our style. After days and days of searching, discovering Sun Beat Films completely changed our perspective and genuinely excited us about having our wedding captured on film. Choosing to have a videographer ended up being one of the best decisions we made.
Emily + Jeff · Fallbrook, CA
When we started planning our wedding, we weren't sure if we wanted a videographer and then decided if we booked one, we didn't want it to feel cheesy... If you want an authentic, creative, and beautiful video, book Sun Beat IMMEDIATELY!
Vanessa Nguyen · Escondido, CA
Weddings are expensive, but this was so worth the spend for us!
Andrea Stager · San Diego, CA
Special add-ons
he super 8 film, drone footage of us on the beach, and overlay of our vows over the video absolutely blew us away. We still can't stop watching it!
Jordan Wormdahl · San Diego, CA
We also added in Super 8 and Drone which was 100% worth it. The video truly reflects us and the energy of our day.
Daniel + Tucker · San Diego, CA
The result, well let's say we were pretty much speechless when we saw the final product! Song choice and all it was worth every penny! Lastly, splurge on the drone. It took incredible video 10/10!
Anthony Saracino · Santa Ynez, CA
Capturing the energy & essence
I absolutely loved our wedding video and genuinely made me feel FOMO for my own wedding.
Alyssa Fabia · South Lake Tahoe, CA
They truly captured what it felt like to be at our wedding and seeing the video made us cry - getting to relive your wedding is such a special experience.
Isabella Abbot · North Carolina
Very professional and our wedding video turned out amazing. We've watched it so many times and he really captured the moment of such a wonderful day - it makes us feel like we are right back there!
Matthew Welsh · Santa Ynez, CA
