Fernando is seriously a great man with a great talent. I had found him randomly online and just loved his work that I saw on YouTube as well as the positive reviews I saw. And now I get to be another very positive review and can highly recommend his services. He is friendly yet respectful and professional all in one. He is very punctual ESPECIALLY when my wedding venue was far in the middle of nowhere and still found his way. And I loved how he gave direction while making me feel comfortable when I literally hate cameras all together. He had everything planned out so well while I no idea what I wanted . Great drone shots, great quality and video color correct. He captured beautiful shots without being in the way for my guests to experience those special moments. He worked very well with my day-of coordinator as well as my photographers. He made my husbands and Is day so special and captured it in the best way possible. I cant say it enough, I highly recommend!!!!

We are soo happy and overwhelmed with joy to see our finished wedding highlight. Fernando did such an amazing job at capturing all the details and special moments on our special day . It brought me to tears I felt like I was reliving that day and it means so much to me. Fernando was great to work with, he is a complete perfectionist. We didnt have to ask for much because he had it all under control . Worked extremely well with our photographer to capture such breathtaking shots. Super professional and punctual with time . It was one less thing to worry about on such a special day . When we saw our unpublished edit there was one small detail we wanted to add and he had it done instantly ! I would highly highly recommend Fernando from Southbay Films to all my friends and family! Thank you again Fernando for capturing our special day you are amazing!!! I cant wait to see the complete footage!! THANKS AGAIN - The Pivarals

I can't say enough good things about Fernando and SouthBay Films. He was very professional while still being really fun to work with! We found him on Wedding Wire and are really happy we did. We honestly didn't have a clear vision of what we wanted, but he didn't need it. We trusted him wholeheartedly and the result was beautiful. Through his video, my husband, our family, and friends were able to re-live our day. He captured all the emotional and fun moments really well. I got tons of messages from family and friends saying how the video made them cry tears of joy. The best note was from my auntie in the Philippines, who couldn't come. She said that by watching the video, she felt like she was there and a part of the action. Thank you Fernando!

SouthBay films was a wonderful wedding vendor! The wedding video we received was stunning! Drone videography, slomo, great attention to detail and wonderful editing to capture our special day to enjoy for years to come. I'm in the entertainment industry and was very particular in who we booked for a wedding videographer. Fernando was super responsive, very professional and was super easy to work with. The turnaround for our video was super quick and the product was amazing! SouthBay films was one of the best vendors we booked and would definitely recommend them to capture your special day. The prices were reasonable and the service was amazing! SouthBay films will capture your special day in the best way!
