Alright a little bit about me. First and foremost I love Jesus, he's a pretty big deal and one of the main reasons I love to film weddings. Epic love stories are kind of my thing and there is no better picture of that than a wedding, your wedding! I am an OC native and I started my film career over 10 years ago in high school filming for the Video Yearbook.

What I like to call the video equivalent of an engagement photo shoot, the Love Story is something that will be near and dear to your heart as your wedding day draws near. We journey together to tell the story of how you met, how you fell in love, and of course, how you popped the question. You can use it as a save the date, put it up on your wedding website, or even show it at your wedding during the reception!
Just imagine for a second. You've had the best day of your life, all of your friends and family are gathered around you to celebrate the commitment you've made on this day. As your bride walks down the aisle, as your groom slips that ring onto your finger, memories forever cherished. Now you can re-live all of those moments the day of your wedding.
Hiring a videographer wasn't something I had initially considered when I began planning my wedding. However, after viewing a few wedding films (on various wedding blogs), videography slowly became something I had to have. I found Braven through some mutual friends, and after checking out his blog and all the great work that he does, we went ahead and booked him.
All the essentials are included in here for your wedding day. We'll show up, usually a little early, capture every moment seen or unseen by our bride and groom and colorfully edit together the special moments of your day into a 4-6 minute highlight film. This is where the whole story comes in. Our 12-25 minute full length films don't provide you with just a glimpse, but an entire retelling of your one and only day.
The simple reason is because photos don't tell the full story. Photography is beautiful and an absolute must, but a video provides a more complete picture. With film, I am able to capture the sights, sounds and emotions of your special day in an unparalleled way. On that wonderful day when your loving guests travel from all over to join you in celebration; a culmination of your love and commitment to one another.

So happy we had the privilege of working with Braven for our wedding. He made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day and was fun to be around! He worked hand in hand with our photographer to ensure every moment was captured!
Not only does he have a great personality, but his quality of work is like no other. We are so happy we selected him to film our wedding. The video is such high quality and really recaps the entire day. Our parents have joked saying that the film should be nominated for an Oscar, ha.
He also got all of our films back to us in less than a month! The turnaround

Our decision to get a videographer was a little late in the wedding planning, but we could not be happier with the choice we made! Working with Braven was such a pleasure (and completely stress-free) and he produced an AMAZING product. The highlight reel was so much more than we could have ever imagined and it brought tears to our eyes. The footage was ready for us a little sooner than I had honestly thought, so it was a lovely surprise! So happy to have these incredible memories forever. HIGHLY recommend anyone in the area who is considering a wedding photographer to look into Carver Weddings

I highly recommend Braven as your videographer. He does absolutely beautiful work!! We weren't sold on doing the video of our wedding but when I saw what Braven produced, I knew we made the right decision! Before the wedding he was always easy to get hold of and answered questions very quickly. During the wedding, I didn't even notice him and after the wedding he was just as responsive and timely.
I can't say enough good things about Braven and his work! Book him!!

I highly recommend Carver Weddings. They shot our wedding in February of 2017 at the San Juan Capistrano Mission and El Adobe restaurant. I love the movement, voices, and details that his video adds to my memories. I just rewatched my film after a year and it brought back so many wonderful memories! Braven is very professional, on time, and his product is simply amazing. We had a party to show our wedding photos and our 15 minute cinematic film and he had our guests laughing and crying. He is truly talented and you will be extremely happy with his video to help you remember your special day.

My husband and I were married at The Villa SJC this spring and Carver Weddings did our videography. Braven was laid back, flexible and accommodating. He was friendly and professional, and worked well with our photographer. We adore the video he created and have received many compliments on it from friends and family.
The film is crisp and bright with seamless transitions. Not only did he document the details of our big day, he captured the mood. We've thoroughly enjoyed reliving some moments and seeing others for the first time. We will treasure the videos forever. Thank you, Braven!

Braven and his team shot our wedding in September 2017 at the Bel AIr Bay Club in Los Angeles. We read a wedding tip that said it's a good idea to find a photographer and videographer who work well together. So once we found our photographer, she recommended Braven.
It was clear early on we made a great decision with Braven. He began by conducting a Skype interview so he could to know us and understand our vision. He worked with us on a great package, one that included a second videographer (which we recommend, if you can swing it, because it allowed for more shots that might not have otherwise

Braven's video of our wedding is amazing! I am so glad we decided to do a video- it all goes by so fast and this is like getting to relive the experience. Braven and his team were great, we barely knew they were there but they captured all of the special moments and put it together in a beautiful, and fun, way that we will love forever!

I was on the fence about getting a wedding video but I am SO glad I did because the video came out fantastic! Braven lets you pick the music so the video is really personal and emotional. He is great to work with because he responds incredibly FAST to emails and is really easy to work with/friendly on the big day.

My wedding video Braven Carver and his team made is my favorite memory! He did an incredible job with our video. Everytime I rewatch it I feel like I'm experiencing my favorite day all over again. He captured all of the most important moments. The carver weddings crew were professional, thorough, and creative. If you are looking for an awesome videographer to capture your wedding, make sure to chose Braven!

My husband and I loved the video that Braven put together for us. I loved that he captured all the emotions from the day - but was totally behind the scenes the whole time; we never even knew he was there (which I really appreciated it). I would definitely recommend him to any couple looking to capture their wedding via video to be able to watch for years to come.

I'm not usually one to write a review as I'm always pressed for time, but after watching our wedding video yesterday, I just had to endorse Braven's work so that other soon-to-be-married couples could share in the pure joy that comes from the magical combination of Braven's skill, creativity, professionalism and attention to detail. First off, working with Braven was about as easy as it gets - very straightforward, smooth sailing, no gimmicky Wedding BS (which most planning couples are used to by the time they engage a videographer) - such a refreshing experience in the chaos

Braven filmed our wedding on 4/8/16. I am in love with the final result! Braven is easy to work with and has an amazing eye for what he does. I can't tell you how many wedding videos I have watched and none of them compare to his work. I never worried about our wedding film as I had full faith it would turn out amazing. Also loved that he was local! Originally I found him through my husband's cousin. Also, worked out that our photographer was friends with Braven too and both happened to be available on our wedding day! Couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you are thinking

I watched probably 50 wedding videos before selecting Braven as my videographer. The quality of his work is far better than any others I've seen. He spent 10 hours filming every detail of our wedding day and the finished product is everything we hoped it would be. Our friends rave about how great his work is. Braven is highly recommended!

Before getting married on 7/30/16, I watched quite a few wedding videos. I fell in love with Braven's style of videography after watching just one video on his website. The lighting was so clear the video scenes were never jerky or rushed. From the beginning, Braven was quick to communicate. After meeting in person, it was clear that he loves his job. He has a genuineness in personality and passion for filming and editing, which was important to me because I wanted a videographer who wasn't jaded in this fast-paced wedding industry.
On the day of the wedding, Braven came on time

We were pretty disappointed by our wedding photos, so my husband and I were incredibly relieved and ecstatic when we saw our wedding video created by Braven Carver Films. Braven did an AMAZING job in capturing our wedding! Whenever I watch our video (and I still watch it ALL the time, at least once a week haha), I feel like I'm right there again re-living my wedding. I love that I can experience the biggest day of my life over and over for years to come. Braven provided multiple videos, in addition to the lovely montage he creates, which captured every single detailed part of our special day

Braven was an absolute joy to work with! He was so easy to communicate with and his video editing skills are by far one of the best in the business! My video is perfect and I could watch it everyday over and over. My other vendors, guests and bridal party all had wonderful things to say about Braven as well. I highly recommend him to capture your big day!

Braven was absolutely amazing. Our wedding video is better than I could have imagined it would be. I wasn't going to hire a videographer, but about a month out we changed our minds. Luckily, Braven was available. He capture EVERY detail of our wedding day - more details than I thought there even were. I hoarded our wedding video for about 2 weeks before I shared it with our family because every time I went to share it, I just watched it again. He was super professional and so much fun to work with. Braven even walked through the back alleys with us so we could get some really awesome shots

Braven was nothing short of amazing in all regards. He was very easy to work with and give ideas to regarding some locations and events we wanted captured for our big day. His development of video and sounds were incredible in fully embodying our big day. My wife and I have watched out video over and over and are so grateful for Braven's talents. Thank you so much for the memories.
We have referred him to at least 4 other friends who have used him for their big day. Wish we could give 10 stars.

Braven was amazing! The video we received was absolutely beautiful!
We also had a photographer taking pictures and he worked extremely well with the rest of the staff.
If I can give him 10 stars I would! You only get one shot at filming your wedding (hopefully) don't take a risk on someone else. Once you see your video you won't be disappointed.
Braven, feel free to post my video as an example. THANK YOU!
