I hired Devan for our wedding day and she was amazing to work with! We actually had to postpone our wedding a day due to weather, and she was very accommodating to make the new date! Her work is beautiful and we love the video she captured. She is very kind and easy to work with. I highly recommend for all your video needs!

We are so thankful we found Devan to capture our wedding day! From our first conversation about ideas for the videography to the production and delivery of the final product, Devan was so kind and professional. She was an attentive listener and was able to translate our vision into a beautiful keepsake we will treasure forever. She gave us a lot of creative freedom over what we wanted our wedding reel and extended video to look like. On the day of our wedding, she and her second videographer Roo were on it! We told them the shots we wanted and they got more than we ever dreamed of. Capturing candid and special moments that would have been hard to remember because the day flew by so fast. Sometimes I completely forgot they were there because they were so stealthy. This made all of the clips free of feeling staged. They made us feel comfortable being filmed for 8 hours and that is really saying something.

Fast forwards a couple years later. We met up with Devan in Big Sur to do our maternity photo shoot. She captured another precious moment in our lives and provided us with stunning photos. She is so talented!

If you are considering a videographer or photographer, we highly recommend Devan without hesitation. She is a gem and her work is beautiful!

We hired Devan for an engagement photography shoot and could not be happier! She was able to capture our personalities and love for each other. Her kindness and professionalism made my fiancé and I feel very at ease in front of the camera. I truly treasure the photos she took of us and am thankful to have them to look back on for a lifetime.

One of my only wedding regrets is not hiring Devan sooner in the planning process, or for more time! Like many couples on wedding budgets, we didn’t originally plan for or think we needed videography, then changed our minds! As the wedding date got closer and we found out that my now-husband’s elderly grandparents wouldn’t be able to make the trip, we started to discuss recording the ceremony for them and decided that we wanted family members to enjoy the moment and not be asked to record. I started the somewhat last-minute search for a videographer and after talking to a few others, we decided to hire Devan for our special day. Devan provided us with the most beautiful, moving, cinematic-quality recordings that we watch more frequently than we ever thought we would, and that I’ll cherish for the rest of my life.

We had a few conversations before the wedding, and Devan was totally down to work with us to customize the videos we wanted. We agreed on a package with a full ceremony video and a highlight video that went from getting ready at the venue through the reception grand entrance, at a totally reasonable price. I’d seen a lot of wedding videos that are heavy on BTS footage of the photographer’s shoots, and I shared that I wanted to see that but was more interested in what we couldn’t see that day…. Cocktail hour, our guests arriving, the reception area setup and guests experiencing it. Devan did all of that and struck the most perfect balance between giving us direction when needed, but us also forgetting she was there (such as the first look and other moments). She was also just a lovely, kind person to have as part of our team in sharing our day.

We received the completed videos back within a month and I was blown away with the result Friends and family commented that they could feel the emotion in the videos and that it felt like watching an artfully directed/edited short film. Her editing skills are amazing and while we did NOT think to plan any choreography for our first dance, the edited video made us look like we had killer moves. Any future children or family who watch this video will think that we had a perfect dance planned, and no one needs to know the truth! She captured so many shots that I didn’t see myself or from our photographer that all added to telling a story of a joyous day. I loved that she interwove our speeches/vows with video of us getting ready or taking our first look. And our families absolutely loved the ceremony video; all of the songs we had chosen, the speeches, etc. were clear and watching it felt like I was there again.

It’s been almost 2 years and I find myself watching both videos ALL the time. You know how people comment about never watching wedding videos? Not true at all! I find myself occasionally wanting to re-live that experience of celebrating with all of our loved ones, or to hear our vows again, and this is embarrassing but I sometimes get emo watching them even having seen them countless times before. I can’t recommend hiring Devan Shae Media enough!

My wife and I absolutely loved having Devan as our wedding videographer! She was fun and easy to work with, super professional, and she's really great at what she does. She captured amazing footage of our wedding day that all had a very authentic, candid, and personal feel to it -- exactly what we were looking for! She's a fantastic editor, too. The teaser video she put together for us perfectly captured the vibe of our wedding and highlighted all the best moments. We are so happy we hired her!

Devan was absolutely amazing! She was my videographer for my wedding, and my finished videos are my favorite thing I have left from the day.

Thank you, Devan!!

We first met Devan when she did probono work for our local Ventura County nonprofit organization, India Friends Association. Following that, working with Devan for our annual fundraiser stage program was an absolute delight! Her talent behind the camera truly brought to life the heartwarming moments and the energy of the performances. Her technical expertise, professionalism, creativity, and dedication to delivering high-quality work were evident throughout the entire process. Thanks to Devan, we now have a beautifully crafted video that perfectly showcases the spirit of our fundraiser and the essence of our organization. We highly recommend Devan to anyone seeking top-notch videography services. We are truly grateful to you Devan!
