About
First, I truly love what I do, and genuinely feel that I am doing what I was put on this Earth to do--preserve my clients' most precious memories. I have become a professional memory keeper, a role of which I am immensely proud, and a responsibility I take extremely seriously. Being a bonafide documentary filmmaker, I have evolved a style that is profoundly humanistic. I make an empathetic connection with all my clients, and that bond is very much reflected in all my footage. Regarding my qualifications, I am a well traveled, well educated professional with a real passion for what I do. My Master's in Visual Anthropology from USC has equipped me with both superior technical skills, as well as profound cultural sensitivities that enable me to feel right at home in any and all filming situations. My career accomplishments include an Emmy Award for educational filmmaking in 2007, and a prestigious Focus Award for Documentary Production in 1990. Yes, my career has spanned 30 years! That longevity means I have encountered and conquered every conceivable sort of filmmaking challenge, and that bring that experience and confidence to each and every event. I love the challenge and the alertness required of capturing an event that will only unfold once before my camera. There are no re-takes in real life! So I always bring my very best abilities, and prepare myself physically and psychologically to get immersed in the emotions, the colors, the subtleties and details of each and every event and project I am hired to produce.

Hired on Thumbtack

We decided to hire Steven Grossman to film our wedding at The Casino in San Clemente, CA on July 8, 2016 and we were so happy we did! We just wanted the raw footage without editing and it was very affordable. We had the hard drive within days of our wedding. Steve did an awesome job with capturing every little detail including all of our ceremony, the grand entrances, the speeches, cake cutting, bouquet and garter toss, tons of dancing, and more. The guests hardly knew he was there, but when they did, he was so kind and helpful. Even leading up to the wedding, Steve was very easy to communicate with, even though we never met before the wedding day! I would absolutely recommend Steve for anyone looking to get an unforgettable video of your big day! Thank you again!

Steve is a consumate professional, really easy to work with, and I felt like I received great value from his services above and beyond what I had hoped for. He arrived on time and we were able to begin immediately after make-up and hair were finished. I felt comfortable talking to him and requesting special things as well as relied on him for his directional expertise. When we wrapped, I knew I had enough film for my video, and even more than I had anticipated. I will be using Steve again in the future. I highly recommend his services! Karin

Steve Grossman is the best. He created a beautiful video that captured the emotions that I wanted at our wedding reception. He surveyed the venue and blended everything perfectly. He did some artistic things that blew me away like freeze framing a precious shot of the bride and father while the singer sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and at the end of the video he faded to black and white with bride and groom dancing. Pure genius! Hire him asap, you won't be disappointed.

Every aspect of working with Steven was a pleasure, very satisfying, and extremely satisfactory!! I was referred to Steven on short notice to perform the videography of a memorial service that was scheduled to take place on very short notice. Steven had the time available in his schedule so we proceeded, over the phone, to discuss the details of the event. Steven knew all of the questions to ask in order to be certain that every potential detail was accounted for and checked, and that there would be no chance of an accidental slip-up or a loose end. To add complexity to the event, 24 hours before the scheduled commencement of the service a family member requested that in addition to the videography would it be possible to arrange for the event to be live-streamed because there were mourners in other time zones and counties who wanted to view the service. Steven calmly and very professionally accepted the challenge, identified a resource that he thought he could work in tandem with to provide the live streaming, and secured all of the arrangements. The live streaming and the videography of the service were fully successful, including the capture of the live streaming feed. After the service Steven delivered to the family the final cut of the video with all of the post-production elements he has described and suggested would enhance the permanent value of the event recording. The family was thrilled with the quality, creativity, timeliness, and value of Steven's services. I enthusiastically recommend Steven to anyone seeking a highly talented and thoroughly professional videographer!!!

I hired Steven Grossman through Thumbtack to produce a gift of a wedding video for my sister and her partner. From the time I first spoke with him until I thanked him for his artistic vision, I knew that I had found the right person. Steve is a consummate profession, highly intelligent, inventive and a master of his craft. He spoke with me at length before the wedding and reception in order to find out exactly what I wanted and he delivered that...and more. The video included a beautiful introduction, full coverage of the wedding and reception and interviews with all of the guests. Steve took their own choice of music and blended it seamlessly with background audio footage of the wedding. When I first watched it, I cried; when I presented it to the bridal couple, they cried as well. They were overwhelmed by what they received and will enjoy their gift for many years to come. I'm extremely grateful to Steve for enabling me to give such a lovely gift and I recommend him without reservation.
