Robert Nachman Films

I have received nothing but amazing compliments and praises on our wedding video by Robert!
My husband worked in video editing and was very specific about what he was looking for. We thought finding a good videographer in LA should be easy, however we looked at dozens of other videographers before finding Robert. The second I showed Robert’s site to my husband, his reaction was «FINALLY! THIS IS IT!»
Robert was super flexible and met us via Skype since we were in the process of moving. He was very friendly and answered all my husbands crazy-​detailed questions without a problem.
The day of the wedding Robert and his assistant took charge without even making a sound! They stayed in the background of everything and still got every shot, they flowed seamlessly between rooms to film the ladies and the gents, and throughout the entire venue to film all aspects of our wedding day.
Robert had my husband wearing a microphone during the ceremony, which had a slight technical fail (it picked up our shuttle driver’s talking on their radios) as I walked down the aisle but he handled it quickly and professionally. Right as the ceremony started we had our officiant ask people to turn off their cell phones and Robert switched out my husbands microphone for a new one. It was a good laugh and perfect ice breaker. Plus, the results we received with that microphone are invaluable to us!
Our wedding video is absolutely perfect in every way. We love showing it to every person we know! It brings a huge smile to my face every time I see it and remember every moment and emotion of the day. Robert flawlessly edited the ceremony, vows, speeches and film together to tell the story of us. He even chose a Ryan Adam’s cover of a Taylor Swift song to include in the background, which happens to be our favorite! He completely understood who we are and our musical taste. I can’t come up with any other word besides PERFECT and MAGICAL. I have already recommended Robert Nachman Films to others and I will continue.
We also received all the raw footage shot from the day, but we’ve been so in awe of our wedding video that we haven’t even looked at it yet! That will be another full day of amazement and memories. We can’t thank Robert enough!

Based on his (deservedly) excellent Unilocal reviews, I’ve hired Robert many times to film and edit videos highlighting various programs and initiatives at the K-​12 private school where I work. He’s done an exceptional job and is always a pleasure to work with. He’s extremely present but never obtrusive and a quick problem solver. He instinctively knows when to step in and when to hang back. He’s a great collaborator and the final products are always just what I was looking for. I highly recommend Robert for any type of video project you might have.

Robert and Candice are by far the best!!! John (my husband) and I were on the fence about a videographer, and after looking around, I came across Robert’s website. His work is absolutely amazing! I showed it to my husband and won him over with it. A friend of mine was also on the fence about it hiring a videographer, as she was getting married two (2) weeks after me at the same venue too… but she also was convinced after seeing his work.
John and I didn’t meet him until the wedding, but he was very quick at responding to any questions we had over phone or email. The day of the wedding, him and Candice arrived a bit early to scope out the venue. They were a complete delight to work with; they quickly became friends of ours. The footage they shot, was completely amazing.
Less than two (2) weeks after our wedding, we received our 8 minute highlight video. Which has left me speechless (and brings me and all of my family and friends to tears of joy every single time its watched). They were able to catch all of the love and happiness of that day.
For any of you who are on the fence in hiring a videographer, please don’t think twice, and DO IT. The professionalism and dedication that Robert put towards his wok is truly amazing and I am so happy that we found him and made him part of our wedding day!

You guys, hire Robert to shoot and edit your wedding video! From the get-​go, Robert was extremely communicative and easy to get a hold of. On the day, he and his second shooter, Jack were not intrusive yet managed to capture all of the key moments. When we received the first cut of the feature, we were so impressed! Not only did we get the first cut less than 2 weeks after our wedding but also it was just amazing! Very smartly edited and beautiful. We had some notes (mostly because we have very specific music tastes) and Robert turned around new cuts super quickly. So, if you want a talented filmmaker/​editor who is willing to collaborate with you every step of the way, hire Robert!

I am an event and wedding designer who got married last month… I first met Robert through a wedding client in 2012 and enjoyed working with him on the vendor’s side of things because he was prompt, kind, and hard-​working. As soon as I got engaged last year, my husband and I knew that he was the ONLY option for our videographer.
The quality and amount of footage he captures is truly amazing, especially considering he completely melds into the backdrop of your wedding and never interrupts the flow of the day! (I’ve worked on weddings in the past, where the videographer will be so up in the bride and groom’s space that they almost take center stage and demand attention by their presence. This can be distracting and kind of frustrating.)
Robert puts together a beautifully edited film within a few weeks (and sometimes a few DAYS) after your wedding! In our case, we received the edited version in less than one week after the wedding (October 18, 2014). My husband and I watched it on our honeymoon, almost daily and it was such a fun way to re-​live the wedding day.
Robert is extremely kind, thoughtful and accommodating, but even more importantly, he is able to create the most ethereal, beautiful and poignant short films that perfectly capture your special day. I recommend him to all my clients, and I highly recommend him to you! :)

I spent months looking around for a videographer whose work went outside of a cliched formula and whose aesthetic both me and my now-​husband responded to. This is LA. How could it be so difficult to find someone who’s talented, creative and cool? But it is. Robert Nachman Films was a gem I stumbled upon and it was a godsend!
What first sucked me in was their work, what really piqued my interest was their pricing, but the lock and key came with how responsive and on-​it Robert was and how cool he seemed during our first meeting.
You can tell from his work, he’s not a jaded filmmaker out to make a buck by exploiting desperate couples. He and Candice are truly talented and awesome people who want to help capture the best moments of one of the most important days of your life.
He responded quickly and kindly to every email, was considerate of any pre-​wedding need we had, and turned around an INCREDIBLE edit of our wedding in a week! When we asked for a few changes to be made, he didn’t hesitate to do whatever we desired to make the film more to our liking. And, best of all, having him and Candice there on our wedding day felt like two more friends to be included in their revelry as opposed to paparazzi invading our space for a shot.
Their musical choices are stellar, they found shots we never could have dreamed of, and they captured the spirit of our wedding in a way we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
You couldn’t ask for anything better! We adore Robert Nachman Films!
Book them book them book them!!!

Robert is an awesome videographer to work with. I found him through online reviews that said he was reliable, quick in communication, and thorough. I am so glad to find that all this is true.
I didn’t meet Robert until the wedding, and so our correspondence was through email. Robert would always respond to me within a day, which amazed me and was important for a wedding vendor. He was also very thorough in explaining the contract and specifying what he would do. Like most married couples, my wife and I were on a tight budget, and Robert was willing to be flexible with us. We almost cancelled having him, but I’m so glad we didn’t!
Robert was great the day of: prompt, delivered on everything he promised, and he caught every detail we wanted. We were even more amazed to find out on our honeymoon (3 days later) Robert had already finished the video highlights! The work was great and we were so pleased to have the highlights along with all the raw footage. I would recommend asking to receive all the raw footage of the day so that you can see and hear each part of your special day.
I highly recommend Robert and think you will be pleased with his services. He is kind, hard working, and quick to respond. I don’t think we could ask anymore from him.

I had the pleasure of having Robert film my wedding over a week ago. My husband and I cannot stop talking about his work. Leading up to the day, Robert was professional, prompt, and informative. A little nervous since we didn’t get to meet until the wedding day, all my fears quickly disappeared when I realized how amazing he was. He had such a calm and kind spirit, I knew he was the perfect person to participate in such a momentous and intimate event. The beauty of Robert was that you would never know he was filming since he had such a quiet presence, but once we saw the edit, we realized he had captured every detail. We promptly received the edit of our video after we returned from our honeymoon, and we were crying all over again. It was beyond my expectations. His attention to details and the way he honored every moment made us reflect back on our wedding with even more fondness than when we were living it. I will be recommending Robert and his services to everyone I meet, and I hope we will be able to use him again in the future.

Robert Nachman has a style that is truly unique and we love the work we saw on his website. We made the choice in an instant after viewing his work and after my husband went to meet him, we booked him right away!
I never met Robert till the actual day of my wedding, I communicated a few times by email only but trusted his work and him. His short films are cool :)
Excellent communication! Fast, our wedding video was ready in less than a week for viewing and sharing. A copy was sent to us and our hard drive with all the footage and it was nicely bubble wrap. WE LOVE our video. I watch it over and over again, and love that it ends with the «Happy song» it truly makes me so happy to see the video since the wedding day goes by sooooo quickly and sooooo much is happening at such a fast pace… its so great to have it all capture on video.
We highly highly recommend Robert. He is so easy to work with.

Robert and Candace filmed our wedding in January and did an amazing job! Before booking RNF I researched a TON of wedding videographers watched all of the videos and even met with a few but none of them clicked and weren’t getting what I really wanted, then I met Robert. We met at a local coffee shop the day after the 4^th of July — sorry Robert — and I instantly clicked! He is so professional and makes sure he knows just exactly what you want for your big day. Together we customized a package that fit our needs/​wants for the wedding and was so helpful explaining everything along the way: how things would be done, timelines, etc.
We landed in Miami on our way back from our honeymoon and ALREADY had our 23 minute highlight reel in our email waiting for us — best post honeymoon present ever! Not only is he extremely professional and super easy to get along with but you don’t even notice that him and Candace are there filming and somehow they capture ALL of the moments and EVERYTHiNG perfectly. I am still super impressed by his skills and promptness — when he said he could deliver everything within 3 weeks of the wedding I never expected to have such a treat only 9 days later!
Robert is truly a hidden gem and I am so glad I stumbled across his Vimeo page saw his videos and reached out! By far my husband and I think that this is the best money we spent on our wedding day as Robert has given us the memories we will cherish forever and be able to enjoy for years and years to come.
I highly recommend Robert Nachman Films for his professionalism, fast turnaround, super easy going awesome personality, amazing work and prompt communication! We are constantly getting the best feedback from the highlight reel and everyone we share it with — Robert and Candace thank you so so so much for all of your work and being available to answer my many questions! You truly did enable us to relive our wedding, especially since it is such a whirlwind! Thank you thank you thank you!

We initially we weren’t considering videography for our wedding, feeling that photography was enough. As the date approached, however, we started to regret the decision. Unfortunately we’d left very little in our budget (in fact we went out of budget) for videography at this point. We really feared for the quality we’d get, but felt it was worth a try. After looking into a few videographers in our price range we decided on Robert.
Boy are we glad we did.
Robert worked seamlessly with our photographer, staying out of his way when needed, but still capturing all the elements we could ask for. His video was light and funny and really captured the essence of the day. He was able to capture audio from the band, the speeches, and the ceremony.
One of my friends commented to me later, that the true test of a good photographer/​videographer is whether you notice him during the wedding. While I would argue that the end product matters just as much, I’ll say that Robert handled both exceptionally.
Would definitely recommend.

Simply amazing! The professional quality you get for the low price he offers seems too good to be true but it’s not!
1) GOOD COMMUNICATION– For a bride, this is key. Helps keep the stress down. He answer his emails so promptly and efficiently. You never feel like you’re bugging him or getting on his nerves. =)
2) QUALITY & PRICE — AWESOME! The editing is seamless. The song selection was great. No complaints. We got wesome edited footage PLUS all 6hrs of our raw footage on DVD. Memories for life! The price is range is a «$ «on TheKnot (Brides-​to-​be know what I’m talking about) Totally affordable and WORTH EVERY CENT!
3) HIM– Robert and his assistant were a pleasure to work with. His mannerisms make you feel every comfortable. Also, guests said «We didn’t even notice there was video guy» (No offense, Robert. Lol). This is a good thing. He wasn’t running up and down the aisles or crawling all over the platform. He blends in to the background and still captures everything you want.
My ceremony was in Pasadena and the reception was in Alhambra. He didn’t charge any fees to shoot at two locations. A lot of other videographers do.
Having a video of our big day is something that I will cherish forever. It captures what pictures can not. USE ROBERT! You won’t regret it. You won’t find a better price for the quality he provides.

I think Robert must be one of the best wedding vidoegrapher in LA area. BeforeI select him, I watched about 20+ videographer’s portfolio but only his work truly touched us. S
Our wedding has few challanges for Robert. First, most people come to our wedding speak Chinese, including the toasts. Second, Our weddding is in LA but neither I nor my husband is in LA until 3 weeks before the wedding. Robert worked with us remotely and he listens to our thoughts and needs. He tried his best to help us overcome these chanllenges and give us the best wedding film.
We received the fine cut of our film very shortly after our wedding, and it is amazing! The tone of the picture is warm and natural and theediting is very smooth and moving. You can feel the true happiness is coming out from the pictures, not like other «standard» wedding films. My friends and co-​workers all watched that and they all think this is a great work. Quote my boss’s word“he caught the essence of the wedding”

This is my first time writing a Unilocal review and I’m doing it just for all of my awesome wedding vendors, one of them being Robert Nachman! I booked him last minute as my sister told me she wanted to get me videography for my wedding present and he was very willing to work with this request! I booked his 5 hour package and had him come a little early to my ceremony and stay for most of my reception, and he ended up staying late an extra hour for the cake cutting and dance as everything kind of got pushed back. I barely even noticed he was there! He sent us his 9 minute video clip only days after our wedding while we were still on our honeymoon and we still can’t stop watching it! Without me even telling him he was able to capture the parts of my wedding that were most special to me, the voices of the most important people and intermix beautiful music into the clip to tie it all together. I’m not very creative by any means so I left it all up to him and it was perfect. Definitely delivered exactly what his website and former videos show and he has a special talent of being able to see the things within your wedding that are special to you and portray it in his short clip video. Can’t wait to see the whole DVD of the whole wedding! Will definitely refer him and all of his services to my friends and family. In addition, I looked around A LOT in the Los Angeles area and his rates can’t be beat!

Robert has hired me as a 2^nd Unit videographer on a few occasions and he is such a wonderful person to work with! He truly cares about his work and always eager to help his clients vision come to life and empower the people, like myself, working beside him. I highly recommend him as his thoughtful outlook on image making will always be inspired!

Robert was very responsive when I first contacted him, and gave me a lot to look at (
). The day of the wedding, he arrived timely and recorded the wedding without interfering at all with the ceremony or reception (I almost forgot he was there!) He got us our edited short even before we returned from our honeymoon, and met with me right after we returned to give us the remainder of the footage. He was very very inexpensive, although I also know his rates are lower now because he’s trying to build up our portfolio. He is super sweet and professional, and couldn’t have asked for more! He is amazing! I would recommend him to anyone :)

Robert did the videography for our wedding and I would highly recommend him.
1. He was excellent at communication and very easy to email back and forth with, which was not the case for all of our wedding vendors.
2. The trailer that he did for us was wonderful, fun and exactly what we wanted to have to share with friends. He clearly has an artistic eye and got wonderful footage and put it together really well.
3. All of our guests who interacted with Robert commented on how kind and professional he was, which is really important when you are having someone at a personal event.
As someone who spent hours looking for reasonably priced photography for my wedding, I have a good idea of what can be gotten in LA for given price ranges and can definitely say that you aren’t going to find the quality level his work is at anywhere near his price (aka book now :)). I am really glad we took a chance with someone newer.

I had hired Robert to photograph some of my paintings, he was really easy to work with and I wound up having him photograph my studio and loft as well. After our shoot he sat down with me and showed me all the images and allowed me to select my favorites for him to edit. Later that evening he had created a Dropbox folder and edited nearly 50 images which I needed to send out to my gallery the next day.
I found Robert to be very professional, worked in a timely manner and has a creative eye for working with artists.
I highly recommend Robert for your next project and he shoots videos as well.
I will be working with him on my next project.

Robert helped us capture a Full Out Dance class @ Millennium Dance Complex, in North Hollywood. The Class was packed with dancers, and he was able to get a clear shot of most of the dancers throughout all of the stages. Yet he really showed his talent in the editing phase and quick turn around with the final cut!

Really is as good as it gets… Rob is unbelievably selfless and passionate about his work and it resonates in the quality of his final product. He genuinely cares and brings 100% effort to it.
He personally helped us with video and still picture production for a charity fundraiser we had and produced high quality work that received endless positive feedback from our attendees.
Not an ounce of doubt to rehire him in the future.
