The photos came out breathtaking, full of warmth and depth. It’s a testament to Randy’s skill and dedication to his craft.

I’ve known Randy for years, and when Tom and I started looking into a photo/video team for our wedding I had no doubt that he’d be a great fit! He’s so easy to work with and incredibly comfortable behind a camera. I loved that he was able to share his vision, make suggestions, and move us around without it feeling forced. Even to my husband, who has not known Randy as long as I have, it felt like just a regular day out with friends who happened to be taking some pretty amazing photos. Everything from day one of planning to the wedding day itself, including the impromptu engagement photo session in Banff National Park, was smooth and an absolutely great time. I’m so glad we have our photos and video to look back on now, Randy and the team did an amazing job capturing the pure joy and fun of our big day!

Randy created for us (me and my fiancée) a delightful 3-day, 2-night experience in Death Valley. He took care of every single detail but included us in the planning process. It only took two quick virtual meetings and some texts before we were in Death Valley exploring Artist’s Palette, Badwater Basin, and the Mesquite Sand Dunes.

Randy being overprepared also put my fiancée at ease! It was especially important that Ivo, my fiancée, was comfortable and enjoyed herself during the whole experience, as this was her first camping trip. She was in absolute awe of the stargazing and trails that Randy selected for us. The delicious food was definitely the cherry on top! We had some scrumptious food, including beef and chicken kebabs. Randy previously prepped all the food. Such deliciousness! Randy preparing it all for us made the experience extra special. I was happy to see Ivo enjoying herself. She was all smiles and giggles.

Randy is a joy to work with. He's a great listener and observer! He can capture some incredible pictures and videos because of who he is. Randy demonstrated an incredible level of professionalism and warmth. The guy is also a fantastic outdoorsman who brings the overall experience joy and excitement. Thank you, Randy, for the wonderful experience and the beautiful pictures and videos!

He's also ingenious and thinks on his feet! There was a sandbar at Badwater Basin that was mostly inaccessible. Randy thought pictures on this sandbar would be the most magnificent but didn’t want to ruin our clothes trying to cross the treacherous salty waters. It occurred to him that trash bags would help us get to the sandbar, and…IT WORKED! Because of this, he was able to capture some of my favorite shots. We finally ended the 3-day experience with an exquisite picnic at the Mesquite Sand Dunes. He set up a lovely picnic table with apple cider and a handcrafted charcuterie board.

Thank you for going above and beyond, Randy! Really appreciated every single detail! You’re the real deal, buddy!

Randy is incredible. The highlight reel package was the best wedding decision we made. Randy also made everyone so comfortable, our wedding party felt great and the final product came out better than we could have ever imagined. I would seriously tell everyone to have your wedding with Rivas.

We had the great privilege of working with Randy on our wedding day. We can't say enough good things about him. Throughout the entire process we experienced nothing but the utmost professionalism and responsiveness. During the planning process he was amazing and communicative. During the day of our wedding he was so unbelievable kind and helpful. He did an amazing job evoking natural reactions from my wife and I. The video he made us is far beyond anything we could have asked for. It is truly spectacular and it brought us right back to our wedding day. The editing is phenomenal and we just cannot emphasize enough how good this company is.

IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF A VIDEOGRAPHER, LOOK NO FURTHER!!! RANDY RIVAS IS IT!!

Initially, my husband and I were going to pass on a videographer, but after coming across Randy's work we decided to pull the trigger and we are so thrilled we did! Randy is a true professional and master of his craft! He was easy to work with, friendly, patient, and helpful with any indecisiveness we had. During our wedding, he made us feel comfortable and communicated very well.

When we received our video, we were truly blown away! Somehow, Randy was able to capture so much of the love, emotions, magic, and special moments of our day and transform it into a thoughtfully constructed video. It is high-definition, well-blended, flows seamlessly, and has awesome soundbite and great music. It was, by far, one of our favorite investments of our wedding and left us with something we will be able to look back on and cherish for the rest of our lives!

If you are hesitating, don't! Go with Randy, you will not be disappointed!

It’s an understatement to say that Randy will go above and beyond for you. It’s hard to come by people who really take the time to figure out what suits your needs and make them come to life that make it special and unique to you.

I’ve had Randy help me with professional headshots, short social media films, and even ran through several marketing strategies for brand building and each time has been more than successful.

Even as a camera-shy person, I felt like I could be myself and Randy helped to make things more comfortable without feeling forced. I am very impressed with the quality of work provided and I highly doubt you’ll be disappointed in any of the services you choose.
