BEST investment ever - no regrets!
I wish more than 5 stars was an option. I’ve been typing and erasing and retyping this review for days to try and find the words to show my appreciation for Raphael and nothing I write seems good enough. He truly is the backbone of this experience. He is the reason we get to relive the best day of our lives over and over again- the way he captures our videos doesn’t just remind me of the feeling that day, I feel like I’m truly back in time living the day all over again. We got lost in the videos. He is the sweetest shadow, he doesn’t skip a beat and has the ability to balance making sure everything he captures is perfect while also making sure we enjoy the moment and aren’t distracted. It’s incredible. There’s no way to describe how busy and overwhelming a wedding day is no matter how much planning went into it, though it was the happiest day of my life, that came with tons of adrenaline leading to so many moments I barely remembered. Not only does Raphael capture moments beautifully, they way he delivers them is just as impressive. If there’s ONE person/vendor I had to choose from for this day, it would be Native Tree Films over and over again without a single doubt. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Raphael. You will always hold a special place in the hearts of us and our family.

Perfect!!
The team of Native Tree Films are incredibly detailed and professional. I cannot say enough wonderful things about our videos that we just received back. They are truly cinematic and it's worth every red cent to be able to go back and watch these for the rest of our lives. The music, the editing, the moments captured. It's everything you'd want in a wedding video if you're in to something a little edgier and non-traditional - which we totally are. Thank you again Native Tree!!!

10/10 Amazing!
Where do we begin, Native Tree Films (Raphael) is absolutely incredible. From the moment we signed our contract to the day we received our wedding video he has been so generous, gracious, professional and an absolute blessing to work with. We’re so happy that we chose Native Tree Films to document our most special day because their work is one of a kind, not your ordinary generic wedding videos. We can not recommend them enough. Our video is absolutely amazing.

The best!
As a video professional myself, selecting a wedding videographer was one of the most important parts of the planning process for me and the vendor I was the most particular about... and I'm SO glad we went with Native Tree Films! Raphael's vision is exactly what I was searching for - his shooting and editing style is such a fun, unique take on wedding films compared to the "traditional" wedding video. We absolutely LOVE the short film, plus all of the other content we received, and are so grateful to be able to relive the day for the years to come.

Best Wedding film maker in Georgia!
Raph and Thaize are the BEST! They know what they are doing! The best part about them is they build your video around a song, it's not just your average wedding video... It really tells a story of that day and you can feel the energy and love in the video because of the storytelling ability! 10 out of 10 I highly recommend trusting them with your big day! We still watch our video with our mouths wide open because we are so in shock! Thanks, Native Tree Films! We love you!

The best wedding videography team
tl; dr: Trust me, you’ve found your wedding videographer!! (take it from me, I’ve been in 10 weddings as a bridesmaid) Overview: Raph did an INCREDIBLE job on our wedding video! He was professional, responded timely throughout the wedding planning process and offered a variety of packages to best fit our needs. At first we hesitated on having videography but now we’re so glad that we did, especially because we picked Native Tree Films! I’m going to detail highlights below: Pre- wedding planning: Raph was very responsive from the moment I inquired about Native Tree Films to the moment he delivered our final video. Anytime we had questions, he not only sent responses but even included lighting diagrams to give us a sense of how lighting would be when I asked him. We decided to book a vendor partnership powerhouse which included Native Tree Films and Applehead Photography, which at the time (in 2023) included a discount for utilizing both teams. During the wedding: Raph showed up on time and brought a really calming presence to the high energy bridal suite. He offered suggestions on poses and really helped to direct us throughout the day. Unfortunately, our wedding day weather wasn’t ideal, which we thought would crush our rooftop dreams but Raph worked with us to still get the money shot! Most of our guests didn’t even realize we had a videographer during the ceremony because Raph was intentional about capturing moments but masterfully avoided taking the spotlight to do so. He captured every highlight from the day and I know we’ll treasure this video for a lifetime. Post wedding: After my husband and I watched the video, he said “I feel like I just relived the whole day!” And honestly, that’s the best part about working with Raph as your videographer and having a video from the day. He not only captured the moments but his music selection also really captured the energy and good feelings we had that day! The video delivery was timely and Raph made sure to communicate any changes/updates on timeline with us. The video quality is incredible and if you’re looking for an authentic yet cinematic recollection of your day, you can’t go wrong with Native Tree Films. Tens across the board!

Absolutely Exceptional Hands Down!
We could not be more pleased with Native Tree Film's work! From our initial communication through to the end product, Raphael went above and beyond. The final videos produced are absolutely incredible! Truly an exceptional talent and a pleasure to work with. Highly Highly Recommend!

The best!
Having our wedding filmed was one of the best investments we made for our big day, and what Native Tree Films captured is so special and unique - a treasure we can share with family and friends for years to come. Raphael was easy to communicate with over email leading up to the event, and punctual and communicative during and after our wedding, as well. If you are nervous about having so many cameras around you during emotional and vulnerable moments, don't be! Native Tree Films truly made us feel so comfortable, and we often felt like they weren't even there, yet they captured the most genuine and authentic moments of our day. We were particularly impressed with how Raphael "teleported" around our venue, especially during our ceremony, and managed to stay invisible and out of our wedding photos 99% of the time. We are so obsessed with our wedding video, and will be recommending Native Tree to everyone we know!!

Amazing experience - best choice we made
Raphael was the best choice for capturing the magic of our wedding day! It was so fun to look back at all the videos and we were so happy with all the content we got from that day. During the actual day and even leading up to the wedding, he was super nice and warm which was something you definitely need in your vendors on the day of --- when you're filled with nerves, it's nice to work with people who you feel very comfortable and connected to! The videos and the editing style -- perfection!! Everyone loved watching our videos too. (my family will be blunt and honest so the fact that they loved it to says a lot haha). Thank you Native Tree Films!!!!

Thoughtfully Curated Video to Cherish for a Lifetime
I can’t say enough wonderful things about NTF! Our video had us in tears, we got to relive our wedding day through the most beautifully curated video. Not one moment was missed, Raphael captured some of our now most cherished moments of us and our family. His talent is so obvious! We wanted a video that reflected our personality and we got that and more! It is more than just a documentation of our wedding, it’s an encapsulation of all the things that made our wedding day special to us. The experience is top tier from first contact to delivery of our final video. Raphael was incredibly responsive every step of the process, and when we got our USB delivered, it was just as beautiful as the actual video. We received a thoughtful keepsake package that gives you something beautiful and tangible to hold on to. We are also able to put our videos on our phone and access them through an App like experience that is OUTSTANDING! I can literally click on the app (which is a picture of us!) and watch out videos whenever we want! I makes being able to watch this investment we made often and easily. So grateful for NTF and Raphael for their creativity, kindness, talent and professionalism!

Stunning Film, Personable and Professional Vendor
The artistry of Native Tree Films is stunning. Watching our wedding film felt like reliving the day and savoring some moments that I didn’t even realize were captured. Raphael is wonderful to work with; so prompt in his email communication, and encouraging and professional in person while filming. I highly recommend trusting this team with creating a wedding film you will treasure.

Perfection
We are full time wedding photographers so you could say our expectations were pretty high for the vendors at our own wedding. We see train wreck weddings more than we’d like and we knew that we wanted our wedding to be unique in every way. We have worked weddings with Raphael of Native Tree Films many times, and we knew his work was exceptional, but we couldn’t have prepared ourselves for the perfection he created for us. Our wedding video truly captured every essence of our day, from the heavy emotions of our private vows, to the goofiness of each family member, to the intense energy from the dance floor. We are truly and utterly obsessed with our video. We watch it every morning and every evening — no lie. Raphael’s energy at our wedding was also unmatched and he gave us many memories that we will always look back on and smile. Hiring him is truly an investment, and you’ll regret every minute if you don’t invest in him and his talent.

Look no further!
Words do not adequately describe the artistry of Raphael and Native Tree Films. His eye for the perfect shot and smooth transitions is remarkable; pair it with music whose lyrics align with the imagery and you have a masterpiece. Our wedding video exceeded every single one of my expectations. We’re so fortunate to have such a beautiful, timeless memory of the best day of our lives.

The most beautiful wedding video ever!
Raphael and his team were absolutely phenomenal to work with! They made us feel comfortable (which we normally don’t behind a camera) while capturing the most perfect moments of the evening. His editing style is just fabulous and truly unique. We LOVE our wedding video (and all of the extras), and it truly was a joy to work with Native Tree Films.
