Fernando was absolutely amazing. He filmed and edited our proposal beautifully, capturing every special moment perfectly. What really stood out was how kind and professional he washe even met with me at Sunset Cliffs the day before to walk through the plan, show me where hed be positioned, and make sure he fully understood what I was hoping for.That extra effort made me feel confident and at ease, and it truly showed in the final video. I couldnt be happier with the experience or the result. I highly recommend SouthBay Films to anyone looking to capture an important moment in a meaningful and seamless way.

He was so easygoing and flexible throughout the whole process, making us feel comfortable and stress-free on such an important day. When we watched all our videos, it truly let us relive our wedding day all over again. Were so grateful for his professionalism, and care. Highly recommend!
