Here’s what our clients are saying about Chris Castillo Films:
“I hired Chris for our 10th anniversary celebration and couldn’t have been happier! He made up for my horrible wedding photographer 10 years ago. Chris is very talented and a kind soul (so don’t anyone be messing with him or I’ll get you - just love this guy). His professionalism is outstanding. He’s a hard worker with excellent communication skills. I get the feeling he loves what he does and it shows in his work. I wish him continued success and may everyone be kind to him. I love Chris Castillo Films!”
“We hired Chris for our wedding and I can't recommend him enough! He and his work are easily worth 20x more than what he charges. Chris was the utmost professional and the quality of the videos were spectacular. I especially loved receiving the digital video with easy-to-navigate menus to quickly get to certain parts of the ceremony and reception! If you are in the market for videography, Chris needs to be your first call. I promise he'll be the last because you'll book him immediately!”
“Chris is so amazing to work with! My wife and I almost didn't have videography at our wedding because of the cost. Ours was a destination wedding and most of our planning was done from home. Literally weeks before our event, we decided to look around one more time and stumbled on Chris's work. We were immediately in love and his prices were very competitive. With incredible luck he was available for our date and we met with him almost immediately. I can't sing his praises enough. He's personable and fun and has SO much talent! The day of our wedding he was professional and went above and beyond to get all the footage he wanted/needed. And, most importantly, the finished product is absolutely amazing. As an added bonus we have a new friend in our favorite city! In short, hire this man for incredible, affordable videography!”
“Working with Chris was amazing from start to finish! From the beginning, he was very clear about all pricing and details of the big day. Leading up to our wedding, Chris made sure to find out what we were looking for and how he could best help us to achieve that. We met for coffee before our wedding and felt totally confident that our video was in great hands. We even added on rehearsal dinner video coverage and I’m so glad we did. We were more than impressed with our final videos and love watching them to relive the best day ever. Chris so perfectly captured our New Orleans wedding and was so easy and enjoyable to work with. I can not recommend Chris enough!”
“We absolutely loved working with Chris! From the beginning he took the time to really understand what our vision was for our wedding video, and always made sure as we led up to the wedding that things were going to run smoothly the day of. He worked so well with coordinating with our photographer and wedding planner, which helped remove any potential stress on our big day! The final trailer and videos of the day and ceremony truly capture all of the highlights from our wedding. We can't thank him enough for all the hard work he put in to allow us to relive such an important day that flew by way too fast for us!
“Chris and his crew were AMAZING! My husband and our families were so pleased with his work. Chris was prompt, friendly, helpful, and very sweet! Every detail that we wanted highlighted, and so much more were in our video. Chris communicated with us quickly and got us everything we wanted. I have recommended him to so many friends. I wish we could do it all over again!!!”
“Chris was everything I could have asked for from a videographer and more! I am EXTREMELY picky and this talented artist gave me the absolute perfect video! He went above and beyond my expectations! He was so nice, professional, and easy to work with. He listened to everything I was envisioning and captured it so well! He has a true gift! I can’t recommend him enough! Thank you for everything Chris!!”
“A friend recommended Castillo films for our wedding and we were glad we did!!! Chris and his crew were amazing!! They captured all of the great moments we wanted and were so fun to work with!! My husband and his groomsmen had a blast with them! Very easy to work with and made us feel comfortable. They listened to the recommendations we had and were very accommodating. We even received a short film a day or two after the wedding!!! Highly recommend!”
“We could not be happier with our wedding video! Chris went above and beyond for us and was very patient. He listened to all our must-have details and the finished product was just perfect. He is so awesome to work with, very talented, professional, and I did not have to stress one bit! So happy to have found him on here! Thanks so much Chris!”
“Chris was sooo amazing to work with! He customized every package to fit your needs. The filming is incredible and captured every moment we could ever want. He did an amazing job capturing speeches from the rehearsal dinner and incorporating it into our wedding film. This artist's ability to match speeches with different films throughout the day is incredible. He is so nice and always easy to get in touch with. He has a great crew who can be in two places capturing the best day of our lives. The wedding day flies by so quickly so it is so amazing to have beautiful video to look back on for the rest of our lives. I will definitely refer Chris to anyone looking for an awesome video!”
“Easy to work with and the video came out great! Very professional! Highly recommended!”
“I cannot say enough how much we love our wedding video! Chris did such an amazing job from start to finish. From the communication on what we were looking for to the day of being a part of the entire day for our wedding. He is extremely easy to work and very professional. He captured the most intimate parts of our wedding ceremony/reception and implicated them into our video in such a perfect way. We cry every time we show it to someone. Thank you Chris for helping us remember our wedding for a lifetime.”
“Wonderful vendor to work with! Chris listened to everything we asked and got all of the perfect shots we asked for!... and some he saw unfolding and was there to get. Very professional and courteous of the ceremony too. So incredibly happy with the way everything came out!”
“Chris is amazing! The videos he made from my wedding are incredible. I had a 5 star experience with Chris from the very beginning. It was wonderful knowing I didn't have to worry about him on my wedding day. He exceeded my expectations. Professional, courteous, and punctual. Chris will get the job done, and it will be beautiful work with memories to last a lifetime!”
“Chris was fantastic to work with for our wedding. My wife and I really loved his content and were glad he was available for our date and he didn't disappoint. The contract process was very transparent and professional and Chris stayed in constant contact the weeks leading up to the event. What I was most impressed with was how he took our vision and idea of what we wanted and captured it perfectly into this beautiful video that will be a family keepsake for years to come. Chris was very punctual with timing for editing and the teaser turn around and the drone footage and voice overs were fantastic. The day-of was as advertised as well. Chris arrived at the hotel before I woke up I believe "noon wedding" and although stealthy, captured every emotion and moment with perfect detail. Overall Chris was a pleasure to work with and I'd recommend him for any event you may be planning.”
“Chris was awesome. He made a beautiful video for our wedding. We barely noticed him during the night, he provided tons of great footage, and he really made sure to capture what was important to us. Before the wedding, he drove all the way to the Northshore to meet me in person and find out what was important to us so he could be sure to make a video we would love. Highly recommend!”
“We loved having Chris as the videographer for our wedding! He made all of our dreams come to reality! We met about a month before the wedding to get to know each other and to see if there were any specific things that he needed to make sure he captured. He went above and beyond anything I could have ever imagined! Every special moment from the ceremony, first dances, cake cutting, and more were captured. Oh and he has a drone that can get an aerial view of the venue, which was amazing! Our video was so worth the wait! 6 months later I still find myself watching it once a week :) We highly recommend Chris to any newly engaged couples, you will not be disappointed!”
“We hired Chris to film our wedding in New Orleans in March and we are so glad that we did! We had a destination wedding, so we wanted to make sure that we would have something to show those that did not travel to the wedding. We also weren't looking for a video with a lot of extra editing and Chris was great at providing a documentary-style video that captured the whole ceremony and all the highlights of the reception without too many extra effects. Chris was very easy to work with leading up to the wedding and very professional the day of. We received our videos very quickly after the wedding and have loved getting to share them with our friends and family! I highly recommend hiring Chris to film your wedding - the flowers will wilt, the food will get eaten, but you will have the video forever!”
“Chris is by far the best!! Being the mother of the bride I wanted everything perfect. We did receive a teaser which gave me goosebumps...then the video....PRICELESS!!!! He captured everything from the most tender moments to the most outrageous moments. We told him what we wanted and he went over and above. His drone footage was absolutely gorgeous!!! We truly enjoyed working with him and would recommend him to anyone with an upcoming wedding - You won't be disappointed - Thanks again Chris for everything and making Holly and Jared's day so memorable!!!!”
“Chris is the best!! He did such a beautiful job with our video, and I'm so thankful we hired him. He paid great attention to detail, and really listened to our request. He was so approachable to us, and our guests. His video absolutely captured the love we felt during our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with it!!”
“I'll admit that I don't usually write reviews, but I always read and value them tremendously. Today, however, and perhaps from henceforth I'll give back and be the provider of very useful information for other consumers. Chris of Chris Castillo Films was an absolutely fantastic videographer for my husband's and my wedding day. We chose to have a videographer at the 11th hour of wedding planning and finally went with Chris after a hearty recommendation from our trusted wedding planner and also after viewing other videos from his website. He was on point from the very beginning. He let us know the exact services he could and would provide along with a very reasonable price point for those services. In the early morning of our wedding day, Chris maneuvered through my hotel suite filming, almost unnoticed except for his chuckles when my bridal attendants would shoot a funny remark his way. I was not a particularly bossy bride or a "bridezilla" as some say, so I honestly did not provide much instruction at all about what I wanted to be included in the video. I was just kind of going with the flow. I'm so glad I did because Chris is so creative, and nothing that I would have told him could've produced a more beautiful teaser video and the most emotion-filled highlight video which captured so many precious moments throughout our day. Watching our video takes me back to that day and fills me with the joy, love, wonderment, and ecstasy that I felt then. I am so grateful that my family and I decided to even have a videographer, and I'm ever thankful to Chris for his pleasant spirit and creative mind. Five Stars!!!”
“Chris shot my wedding, and he did an amazing job! He posted the instagram teaser just hours after the wedding! Everyone raved about the video. Multiple family members have told us that it brought them to tears over again. We recently got our trailer and full ceremony videos and they're just as beautiful! I would absolutely recommend Chris for whatever special day you want to be able to look back on.”
“Chris was very professional and made sure he understood what I wanted from him and made that happen. He got my teaser video posted very quickly and my full videos to me before the projected completion date I was originally told. The videos my husband and I received from Chris will be cherished memories forever!”
“Chris was very professional and captured our special day perfectly!! We were beyond pleased with everything!!!!”
“We were last-minute making a decision and called Chris a week before our wedding. Not only was he very professional but put us at ease as he in advance went to the locations to plan how he would shoot the videos. The ceremony and reception was amazing as I did not even realize he was there. The finished product far exceeded anything I expected and we did not even have to edit. It was perfect with how he edited it with the music and all the special touches he added. STRONGLY recommend Chris. You will not be disappointed.”
“I never do reviews, but gotta give Chris credit here. Chris captured our memories at our rehearsal dinner and wedding in Mexico. Originally, we thought we couldn't afford a videographer, but we're glad we decided to go with Chris. He was not only very reasonable, money-wise and willing to come out to a destination wedding, but came very well prepared with an assortment of different cameras, as well as a drone. He did his groundwork, visiting our wedding venue on his own time and dime before the big day to plan his angles. You could tell he wanted to get everything just right. He was also very accommodating to multiple, and at times, conflicting demands from different people--us, our family, and friends. He never once complained about us making him run around like a madman and pulling long hours. Chris was very flexible, and at the same time, seemingly unnoticeable during our events. He was very easy to work with. Highly recommended. A++++”
“Chris Castillo is fantastic! We were very happy with Chris! He was always very courteous and his aim was to please. Everyone really liked him and he never got in the way of all the confusion going on, and we were very happy with the finished product. Really pleased with all the things he was trying to capture. I definitely recommend Chris and his expertise - you will be greatly satisfied.”
“Chris is awesome! He was professional and I liked the fact that he captured all the greatest moments without disturbing the natural joy of experiencing this live. We're so lucky that he genuinely captured real feelings and reactions that take you back to that exact moment.”
“What can we say?!!!! Talk about professionalism, Great quality pictures, Great quality videos. Castillo Films really made it to where we can always look back and enjoy our wedding like it was yesterday. Would we recommend Castillo Films to friends or family?? Or to couples we may see preparing for their special day?? You better believe it!!!”
“Finding Chris was a great asset to our wedding for our future memories to share. He came prepared and had already visited the venue prior to the wedding, to get a better understanding and idea of what we wanted. He is also working with us on additional items we didn’t know we wanted until after the wedding (ceremony film, reception added in, etc). Chris is very professional and great! He is responsive and we had the first round of the video in not too long of a time. My only suggestion would be to go over exactly what you want ahead of time, including music options. He will work with you, but this will reduce the time to receive the final product. We didn’t know if we could afford a videographer, but when asking some friends what they would have done differently for their wedding- spend money on a videographer. The pictures are great, but the video, music, and beautiful recap of the day is what they like/would have added in. So we did it and we are so thankful!”
