    Beyond our Expectations

    We had an amazing experience with Moses and Jessica! They made us feel comfortable throughout the entire shoot and brought our vision to life even better than we imagined. The photos are absolutely stunning—editorial, timeless, and full of emotion. Their attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism really stood out, and we're so excited to see the final video. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend them!

    Owner, Purposely Designed Event Planning

    I had an exceptional experience working with Draw Near Films for my business anniversary shoot. Their communication style was incredibly responsive, and they were amazing to work with - both professional and down-to-earth. The quality of their work was outstanding, with great attention to detail and a clear effort to listen to and bring my vision to life. Moises and Jessica provided excellent direction throughout the process, and the final video exceeded my expectations, perfectly capturing the special moments of the day. I highly recommend Draw Near Films to any vendor or couple looking for a talented and dedicated videography and photography team.

    Wedding Day

    From the moment we first reached out to Draw Near Films, their communication was on point, kind, and professional. They traveled all the way from North Carolina to Virginia to capture our special day, and went above and beyond to support us throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, they weren't just behind the camera - they were also in front of the camera, helping and supporting me as the bride and providing tremendous support to my husband as well. The quality of their work was truly amazing, and the value they provided was exceptional. We are thrilled with the beautiful footage they captured that allows us to relive our wedding day over and over again. We highly recommend Draw Near Films to any couple looking for an incredible videography team to be a part of their special day.

    Captured the joy of our day perfectly!

    I can’t say enough wonderful things about Draw Near Films! They were an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the moment we booked them, they were so professional, yet warm and friendly. On the big day, they blended in seamlessly and captured every beautiful moment. We barely noticed them, yet somehow they managed to get the most incredible footage—every emotion, every detail, every laugh—it was all perfectly preserved. When we received our wedding video, we were absolutely blown away. The editing was flawless and the music choices were perfect,—they truly captured the essence of our love and the joy of the day in a way we’ll cherish forever!
