    One of a kind!

    I'm so grateful to have had Sophia Roud as my videographer! My husband and I just watched our footages and it took us right back to that day - we're going to start watching this for our anniversary. Certain shots as so magical and transport us right back to the moments. From the beginning, Sophia was focused on who were were as a couple, what our vision was and what we wanted for the day - she not only listened but she delivered. I would highly recommend Sophia!

    A magical experience!! Simply the best!!

    Sophia is one of the most kind and artistic humans. She captured the day perfectly. We are so incredibly grateful. If you are looking for a timeless video, with someone who makes you feel so comfortable, Sophia is the way to go. She was able to capture our love and the day so perfectly. I am an artist myself, and I personally think her eye, aesthetic, and art is like no other. We are so glad we hired her as our wedding videographer.

    Beautiful videography

    We worked with Sophia for our wedding day videography. She did such a wonderful job capturing all of the beautiful moments from our day. We trusted her vision of having us run down the halls of our hotel and around the golf course at our venue. It made the day so fun and relaxed. Our video turned out amazing and with an artistic touch that’s unique to most wedding videos. We highly recommend Sophia for wedding day videography!

    Beautifly patient to capture our love for each other

    From our first zoom meeting I knew Sophia was going to be our girl... she was beautifully patient to work through our wedding on Oahu. Watching the video of our special day deeply moved us and the most precious memory. She captured the special light that we both share that most get to see but in a way deeper intimate way. We can't thank you enough Sophia for capturingthe love of oir preciousfamily and friends love for us. For one day you were able to share our special love.. but girl forever will you be a special friend to us and a sister to me. Mahalo- incase you read this far.. book her now! You won't have any regrets!

    Sophia Roud is magic!

    Sophia's final product blew me away, exceeded any expectations I might have had for my wedding video. She really nailed it and was so lovely and easy to work with. I was a bit particular in my requests and guidance, but she took it all on masterfully and it brings my husband and I an immeasurable amount of joy each time we watch the film. I couldn't recommend her more; she is magic!

    Candid perfection

    We were looking for a videographer for our wedding in O'ahu who fits our style and does very authentic, real and candid footage and came across Sophia. We were so fascinated by her magical videos that we wrote her without hesitation, and we got a meeting with her in a hurry.
    In our first call we felt that the chemistry was just awesome and so we decided immediately to choose her. She is a very open-hearted and lovely person, so we felt very comfortable to stand in front of her camera.
    We were in the best hands possible and she helped us out answering questions, that did not even remotely have been in her responsibility. Sophia created the most beautiful and gorgeous wedding video for us there is in this world! It's an absolute masterpiece...
    It's everything we dreamed it would be, from the song to the editing, the transitions, the atmosphere, the feelings, the style - it's absolute perfection.
    If we need a videographer again, we will book her 100%, because she is simply the best. What she does is art and we are so happy we became a part of it.
    We highly recommend Sophia & send big hugs over the ocean 🤍

    Everything we asked for

    Highly recommend Sophia! She is very creative, prompt, friendly and overall a pleasure to work with. She created a video for our special occasion and she captured all the sweet moments so beautifully. I am planning to book her for future events because I really appreciate the direction she gave us during the shoot and was able to find so much beauty that we wouldn't have noticed right away. Don't miss the opportunity to have Sophia be a part of your special day!!!

    Turned elopement chaos into bliss

    Sophia saved our elopement. The universe shined down on us after our original photographer canceled a day before our elopement. My girlfriends were able to get in touch with Sophia, and after a short phone call and good vibes, she booked to come to Kauai for us to shoot our wedding. It truly was an elopement, meaning just me and my husband. But sophia made us both feel like we also had a friend there. She was so kind, so comfortable to be around, and her quirkiness and passion for what she does only reinforced that she was meant to be there on our big day the entire time. The universe has a funny way of working out :). I cannot recommend her enough. I felt giddy and happy the entire time she was shooting us and capturing our special moments.

    Professional, unique, beautiful work!

    We spent months researching videographers in Hawaii and we’re so thankful Sophia came recommended by our wedding planner. We wanted to hire someone who can film a romantic video capturing the best moments but we did not want the video to be corny. After watching a lot of her work online, we knew Sophia was the artist we needed to capture our special day. I don’t believe there is any other videographer in all of Hawaii who has a similar style to Sophia. She is a true artist and I highly recommend her if your considering hiring her to film your special day. You won’t regret it!

    Absolutely amazing

    Sophia is amazing! My husband and I came across her work before we were even engaged. After getting engaged, we knew that she was the videographer we wanted to hire for our wedding. She was the first vendor we booked! Sophia did not disappoint. After a year, I still watch our video on a monthly basis. When my family first saw it they said "it is like watching a trailer to a movie" and that it was "the best investment". Not only was our video outstanding, but Sophia was the best to work with. She is kind, knowledgable, and patient. Thank you so much Sophia! We appreciate you so much.

    Absolutely splendid!

    Sophia was one of the very first vendors we signed, even before we solidified our venue! But when you look at her work and artistic creativity, I just knew she was going to be one to perfectly capture the moments we shared together and the ones we didn't get to see. Match the cinematic shots, the dream like moving images and overlay of soothing folk music, you've got a video that will forever encapsulate the best day of my life!
    She was quick to reply, very interested in us as a couple and not just a client and was incredibly easy to work with. She's so personable and knows exactly how to capture moments without trying to have you pose for them. If you are looking for a videographer, choose her!!

    Book Sophia!!!

    Sophia was an absolute dream to work with! She was genuine, kind and had a calming presence about her. All the things a couple wants on their wedding day when working with a vendor. She helped us feel comfortable when taking pictures and took sooooo many pictures (which isn’t the usual) which we loved because we had so many to look back on to remember our day. Not only where the pictures phenomenal the film was absolutely breathtaking!! Sophia is amazing at what she does. She’s on a whole different level. We are so grateful that we choose her to capture our day 💕

    Book her! You won’t regret it!!

    Unique and Beautiful

    I knew without a doubt that I wanted to get a videographer but I also wanted it to be different and not your typical cookie-cutter video. Sophia is a true artist and captured our day beautifully. We will forever cherish the video and the moments. Highly recommend paying extra for the ceremony and the speeches. It all goes by so quickly it is so fun to look back and watch them.

She is delightful to work with from beginning to end and she skillfully incorporates your requests into her final film. Her art will be your wedding treasure and is to be recommended!

    Amazing person to work with!

    Sophia was amazing during our special day. She made everything feel so natural while still getting the shots that she wanted. Nothing felt forced everything just felt right. The video given after was also amazingly done. High recommendations.

    Amazing experience + unsurpassed creativity!

    My wife and I could not be happier with the job Sophia did!!! Back when we were in the planning stages, we weren't even sure at first if we wanted to hire a videographer for our wedding; we figured we might just hire a photographer and call it day. But when my wife found Sophia Roud, we watched all the clips on her Instagram + website, and it didn't take much convincing to decide that we wanted her to capture our special moments! It made sense that if we were going to hire a videographer, we weren't going to hire someone to crank out a generic video, but instead hire a true artist--and that what's Sophia Roud is! The vibe on all her work was captivating and stood out from everyone else we had looked at. Most of all, we wanted special attention paid to capturing our wedding dance, which we had spent many months practicing. Sophia executed this perfectly. She also seemed plugged in to the scene in Kauai and collaborated seamlessly with our wedding photographer who we had hired separately. They had great chemistry and were great at putting us at ease when being filmed or photographed. Sophia also turned around our video in a great timeframe. If you hire Sophia for your wedding (or any other project) you will not be disappointed and you will be harnessing the creativity of a truly talented individual!

    One of a kind

    Sophia was amazing!! She came highly reccomended and did not disappoint. So incredibly positive and creative. She went above and beyond to make document our special day. Felt like watching a feature film when we saw our video and she captured so many special moments. We had her film the next day also so we could truly just enjoy the creative process without worrying about leaving our friends and family for too long. 10/10

    Just hire her already

    I cannot day enough words for how amazing Sophia is at her craft! Not only is she good as what she does, she’s just the sweetest person to interact and work with! We were so excited to receive our video a few short months after the wedding. It was the main thing I was looking forward to the most! We knew she was good when we hired her but she captured our wedding so beautifully and exceeded beyond our wildest expectations! The attention to detail she puts into her films and creativity is extraordinary. I don’t know how she does it but while filming at the wedding she was just stealthy and kept out of sight to capture the most amazing candid moments. If you are debating whether or not to hire a videographer for your wedding, do it! If you’re debating on hiring Sophia to capture you’re wedding... DO IT. You don’t want to miss out on this gem. :)

    The hype is real

    Sophia is brilliant. My wedding video is something I will treasure forever. Sophia’s creative nature, passion about her craft, and talent exceeded all expectations. Being from Los Angeles and her from Hawaii (I think she’s drinking magician island water or something) It felt like I was working with not only a longtime professional but a friend. Her essence is like no other and is a true force to be reckoned with.

    Raw, creative, inspiring!

    Sophia is AMAZING, KIND and CREATIVE! She really captured the beauty of my wedding and was the perfect person to collaborate with to create a creative wedding intro video for my reception party. Her eye for the shot is incredible but is more than willing to listen to your ideas and to incorporate them into your video. She will honestly leave you speechless with what she can create.

    If you are looking for someone who will capture one of the most important moments of your lives in an innovative way, then Sophia is worth every penny! Her talent is raw and stunning so I encourage everyone to hire her! Thank you so much Sophia for blessing my husband and I with memorable videos that we will cherish forever.

    Woman on Fire

    YO, VIP, … Stop Collaborate and Listen.

    Everyone who is on the edge about booking Sophia Roud read this!

    Wedding Day = All that is Magical and Glittery. Yes or No?

    For some, that might be their jam. For others, they might be feeling a little more adventure or sci-phi. There could be a possibility of something really intimate or a little extra… but sometimes it’s hard to decide and it’s not quite figured out yet.

    Either way, that’s ok!
    -She does it all.-
    -She is the do-er of dreams.-

    Let us explain with full heart and honesty.
    Sophi has your back.
    No matter what you desire, she seems to have the most breathtaking ideas! She is professionally educated in cinematography and has been able to blend that knowledge with her natural instinct. It is inspiring to watch someone be so indulgent in their work, that they are able to go with the flow and bounce ideas off the tiniest of details. (When we say tiny details, that could mean a teeny weeny dew drop, and BOOM your wedding ring reflected in it.) She loves the use of color, light and sound and feeds off your emotion. This is a wedding film in art form.

    At instances when we were about to move on to the next phase of the wedding she insured we did not miss an inspired moment. It was like sparks of imagination combined into our own beautiful reality. As we awaited our film the anticipation -was real!- Upon arrival, when we saw how the tiniest of detail was used it gave us another layer of respect for undeniable talent. Those details made the largest impact and made the heart throb. It’s one of those things where you say, “ __________.” Because you are at a literal loss for words. She has always kept in touch and been available when needed. Even after she sends your video she wants to make sure your satisfied! In today’s world that is rare.

    Summary: When Tyger and I look back at our Elopement, we both have said over and over, “What would we have done without Sophia?”

    We promise, we are not giving Sophi too much praise. She helped us from the very beginning to the very dear end and her dynamic proves that each video she creates has equal importance to her. We could not imagine if we chose to have someone else film our special day. No other style we reviewed was near comparison. Thanks to Sophi we have more than a video but also a keepsake. We are able to forever remember our special day captured in local Oahu. We feel as if we have known her for a life time. So our suggestion is: Do not plan your wedding without Sophia Roud (period.)

    Forever Grateful for a New Friendship.

    …let’s kick it!

    A Visionary! Snap Her Up!

    Our wedding planner suggested Sophia to us as our wedding videographer. As someone that works in media, I'm EXTREMELY picky about the way things look and upon watching Sophia's work, my fiance and I were immediately entranced! What an artist, truly! Her point of view is so unique and absolutely beautiful. But that doesn't stop her from being a team player and making sure her clients get what they want. She perfectly married (pun intended) her vision with ours to beautiful effect. If there's any doubt, watch her work and it speaks for itself. However, If you DO get to speak with her you will find her just the sweetest kindest person. She put us so at ease on our wedding day and was so visibly excited I couldn't wait to see the end result!! Her cheerful demeanor and encouraging spirit really made our day something special and we were so so happy with the results. BOOK HER for any and all occasions. She is something special and you won't want to miss out! We couldn't be happier with booking her for our wedding day!
