You will be blown away
Vu was recommended to us by another couple whose wedding we attended. We saw their wedding video that Vu made and fell in love with it! So we hired Vu as well. And it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! He is so nice and easy to work with. And his talent and passion for what he does is truly phenomenal. Our wedding ended at 1am (and Vu worked a 12 hour day capturing our wedding); by 5pm that day, Vu had already sent us our sneak peek video. And it made me cry! Everyone we have shown it to has raved about it, and said they are completely blown away by the cinematography and at how amazingly he captured the day. Cannot recommend him enough!!

"Please do yourself a favor and hire nVu films. Trust me it will likely be your best decision for your wedding.
Every night before bed, I watch our wedding film. It brings me so much joy. Every little detail in it makes me smile. I have lost count of the amount of times I have teared up watching this film. The way Vu of nVu films made a story out of our day was breathtaking. The transitions are worthy of oscars and I just can't gush enough about Vu and the work of him and his team. The equipment is top notch, the team is incredible to work with. They played well with the photographers. (Everyone at my wedding including the wedding party thought Vu, his second shooter and the photographer and her second shooter had known and worked with each other for years. They met that morning.) Vu is an absolute pro!
I couldn't believe how quickly nVu films edited all of our content. Video editing is quite involved and usually editors take a long time to get content to you. Not nVu films! Our sneak peek was delivered the day after our wedding!!! I couldn't believe it. Watching that film with my brand new husband was just the best thing a girl could ask for.
Your search for a videographer is over. Hire nVu Films!"

"Is having your wedding day captured in a beautiful film important to you??
If so, make the right investment and hire NVu Films. Vu is incredibly talented and will capture your wedding day in the most magical way possible.
He has all the latest equipment to ensure your video is captured in the most beautiful format - but it's his storytelling and his unique ability to make you feel comfortable during your day that makes him really standout.
This is all coming from a fellow wedding videographer that has the highest standards wedding films.
He is a complete professional yet still is able to make you feel comfortable and at ease on a day that can be filled with emotions.
He is so good I would even recommend him over me!! Seriously, don't go cheap in a video market that is easily saturated with water downed wedding films. Making beautiful cinematic films is a true art that requires the right balance of talented filmmaking, talented editing, the right equipment, and the dedication to put together a film that has all the right ingredients (video, music, raw audio from the wedding, and the editing).
Vu has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATIONS for your wedding videography needs (or any videography needs). Thank you Vu. We will cherish our wedding film forever."

"We watched dozens of videos on line before finding nVu Films and immediately knew Vu was the videographer for our daughter's wedding. We contacted Vu and asked if he would be willing to travel the 2 hours to work with us in Southern Maryland, and he agreed. As our daughter lives out of the state and her then fiance was deployed with the USCG, Vu took the time to Facetime her to get to know her better and find out what she wanted for her wedding film.
A year later, on the day of the wedding, Vu and his second shooter, Mark, arrived on time and ready to go. They were both just wonderful people -- easy to talk to and very professional. Vu captured every moment from the morning preparations to the fireworks finale and boat sendoff. He even used his drone for an aerial view of the beautiful venue which was the groom's family home on the Patuxent River.
We are so glad we found Vu and can't thank him and Mark enough for their hard work despite the heat advisory that day. We will be enjoying our daughter's wedding film for years to come and will recommend Vu to everyone we know planning a wedding."

"If you’re reading this thinking about whether you should hire Vu as your videographer, DO IT! We hired Vu for our wedding 2 days ago and he absolutely killed it for us! He and Kin are not only incredibly gifted and talented (just take a look at his videos) but they were SO nice to all of our guests to the point that they are still calling us to say how awesome Vu and Kin were and how they had so much fun with them during the reception. They will blend in and capture every single moment for you. Hire nVu Films as your videographer for your wedding or any event, believe me you will not regret it!!!"

"I posted an early review based on my correspondence with Vu and his general professionalism. I wanted to take a moment to reiterate that hiring Vu and his team to film my wedding on July 14, 2018 was potentially the best decision I made entirely. He was on time, worked hard to make things creative and unique, and even had a "sneak peek" ready the next day that was absolutely gorgeous. It allowed us to re-live the magic of the day while it was still glowing and fresh in our minds. I would absolutely hire him again, and I am certain that others will feel the same way after working with him! <3"

"Vu is very easy to work with. He is funny and very detailed. He would learn a lot about the couple so that he can create a masterpiece specifically about you, your partner and your special day. I would definitely recommend him to anyone."

"Honestly, there is no better choice. Vu and Kin went ABOVE AND BEYOND to capture the best of our wedding day and then highlight it in such a personal and beautiful way. It's like they've known us for years! Vu could tell what was important to us and he pays attention to even the smallest of important details. I would recommend nVu films over and over again. It's just a no brainer."

"My husband and I had the best time working with Vu. His work truly is amazing and he is very professional. We were recommended to him by a friend and we are so glad that we actually did decide to use a videographer. He came prepared, on time, and ready to work literally all day without one complaint. We just got married yesterday and within 24 hours he sent a one minute teaser video, and we love it and cannot stop watching. We cannot wait to see our full video, I know it will be great with amazing quality. I know we will gladly recommend Vu to any other couple who is considering getting a videographer for their wedding, or any other event. Thank you so much for capturing our day!"

"nVu Films was hands down the easiest and best decision we made during the wedding planning process. Vu responded to our quote request within 10 minutes and sent us a number of films he had recently completed for review. We were impressed and instantly knew that we had found a rising star in the wedding videography industry. We scheduled a skype call to meet and discuss vision, ideas and additional details for our wedding film. He was prepared, professional, courteous and earned our business that very day.
When our wedding day came up (March 11th, 2017), Vu arrived promptly and just began working. He was very instinctual in terms of knowing when to provide direction and when to simply blend in and allow the moments to naturally occur. We later found out that he had arrived even earlier than we had expected to get background footage of the property and to scout out locations for later in the day. Once we began filming, it was all very seamless. During the reception, Vu just kind of blended in with everything else and every time I thought to myself, "oh this would make for a great shot..." I would immediately notice Vu already in position to grab it. The best part was that Vu was never out of position for a great shot while simultaneously never getting in the way of our photographer's shot. It was as if they had worked together for years and years and hadn't met just hours earlier...
My Wife and I are eternally grateful to Vu. We received a lot of gifts that day but none will be more valuable to us than the videos that Vu has produced for us. Someday, our children will be abe to watch this video and share in the day with us. They will never have to wonder "what was the wedding like?" because Vu will have given us that gift to keep forever.
As if the quality of the work and craftsmanship was not enough, Vu was able to provide us with the "Teaser" and "highlight" films within a week after the wedding. It made for a great first week of married life to get to relive the wedding together. (see the links below)
If you haven't yet decided to use a videographer for your wedding, do it! I promise that you won't regret it. More importantly, do yourself a favor and choose nVu films to produce your wedding video. I'm confident that you will feel it was the best money you ever spent."

"we want to thank our friend Vu Nguyen. Your cinematic videography is second to none (best kept secret) and we are so lucky to have you there all day capturing our wedding on film! For those who watch this video and love what you see from NVu Films, this is just the beginning of many more great things to come. You have to book this man if you want memorable videos of your special day. I can personally tell you all that the videos are amazing but it's what's behind the camera that really sets Vu apart from other videographers. He is kind, patient, artistic, visionary, meticulous with details and most importantly so professional. Trust me on this one!!!
We hired Vu to film our entire wedding day. He was very professional throughout the entire process. He laid out all his videography expectations and asked for all of our preferences and ideas. His vision and professional expertise really shines in his planning and preparation, which ultimately transferred over to his final videography product. We absolutely loved our wedding highlight video and the longer version video.
Thanks to Vu, we now have amazing videos to reminisce back on our wedding day. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Vu because he’s the best at what he does. If you want a videographer who is artistically creative in his vision but also flexible in his approach, kind hearted and easy-going manner, humorous but at the same time professional, creates high quality product with unforgettable storytelling videos, then Vu is the man for the job!
Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life so you want to make sure it’s captured through videos so you and your family can have the joy of watching it over and over again in the future. Vu’s videos will capture all that and more because his videography makes you feel like you’re right there living out those special moments all over again."

"A wedding video is the best if not only the only real way to capture the whole memory of your day. My wife and I watched over 200 wedding videos by videographers from Philadelphia down to Raleigh. We found only about a handful that we really liked and had to make a decision. We were contacted by nVu Films and had a few emails exchanges. From there, we knew our videographer Vu was best suited for our wedding and to meet our needs.
He was absolutely professional and responsive from beginning to end. He really listened to what we wanted and what we are going for. It wasn’t simply taking clips and string along with some music. It is an art and his video is an art. My wife and I wanted a video that was very cinematic and thoughtful. He was able to capture all the important moments and style it that made us remember everything joyful from our wedding day. He even has fantastic shot styles in his video I never ever saw by anybody else.
Vu was able to maneuver around our hectic wedding day of over 15 hours without complaint. He was courteous to all our guests and stayed in the background for our wedding. You won’t even notice him. He was on time for every spot and made sure to work with the other vendors or wedding planners to make sure he gets the shots he needs and plans accordingly. I simply cannot say enough how great he is as a person to work with but also providing top notch quality of work. I had zero issues with our video and zero complaints while working with Vu."

"Vu was available to start recording our day as early as we requested. He did a really good job of making sure he was available for all the important shots for our wedding day. He was actually at our location early so that he could take aerial shots of our venue. He had our highlight short ready for us about a week after the wedding day. It was everything we could have imagined, plus so much more. He did a phenomenal job of capturing our special day so that we could enjoy it for years to come. I would highly recommend Vu's services and could not have imagined using anyone else on such an important occasion. "

Beyond Amazing!
"Donald and I would like to sincerely express our gratitude to Vu for all that he has done to become part of our wedding day and to document it for us. Through out the process, Vu was the most caring and professional videographer that I came across during my research. It took me quite sometime to finalize our contract only because of last minute financial obligation that has delayed the process a little bit more. Something about Vu I was able to be straight forward about as far as money is concerned and he was there to help me through out the process. The big day, I cannot say any more as to how big of difference his presence was. Alone from being our videographer, my husband was happy that Vu helped out with fixing and making sure his tie knot look at it's best. Vu, thank you so much for being part of our day and helping us document our day."

"Hands down the best videographer in DMV! Vu did an AMAZING job at our wedding last October 1st. He went above and beyond our expectations, he captured the best moments of our wedding and was really attentive to all our needs. The best thing was when he made a surprise onsite video for us which was played during our reception. A lot of our guest recognized his work given the amount of time he had to work with, it so special and we can't thank him enough. He is generous, kind and so much fun to work with even our other vendors fell in love with him. lol I highly recommend nVu Films!!!! Thank you again Vu"

the best decision we made
"nVu Films truly has no equal when it comes to professional wedding cinematography. We first contacted Vu about 6 months before our wedding after having searched many DC area videographers. We were immediately drawn to his ability to capture candid emotions as well as the genuine sincerity in his storytelling. Vu was always lightning fast at responding to our questions and willingly agreed to film our entire wedding, which took place over the course of 2 days. On the day of our wedding reception, the weather turned for the worse, which greatly disappointed my husband and I. We wanted to share the natural beauty of our outdoor garden venue with our guests, but the persistent rain caused us to change plans at the last minute. Nonetheless, Vu arrived early and filmed without bringing any attention to himself. We received our highlight video less than two weeks after the wedding and were at a loss for words for how beautifully Vu captured our wedding day, rain and all! It takes a true artist to convey a gloomy, soggy day as a romantic and joyous celebration, which Vu did exquisitely. Watching our video as well as videos of his other lucky couples, we noticed how much Vu tailors each video to the personality of the couple. Each video is unique with its own individual feel, which is another reflection of the creativity and artistry of the videographer. Having Vu as our videographer was one of the best decisions we made, and we really cannot wait to share our video with our children and grandchildren in the future."

Wow - Vu is truly the definition of a perfect wedding vendor. I was desperate about a month before the wedding to find a videographer -- but every sample video I watched from the dozens of other vendors I found on Wedding Wire were extremely disappointing. My last ditch effort was Thumbtack and then I found Vu. From the very beginning he was so easy to work with - not pushy at all and really down to earth. We Skyped first before deciding if it was a good 'match' - which I think is a great idea because I could see his dedication and we learned a lot about each other. So let me tell you what is amazing about Vu - he spends the entire day of your wedding filming. On the day of my wedding he was hands down everyone's favorite vendor - very professional but super laid back and always behind his camera capturing every moment. What I could not have anticipated was the absolutely stunning result we received just a day later - we woke up to leave for our honeymoon and there was a 1 minute long teaser video on Instagram..it was amazing. It definitely left us wanting more and in less than 3 weeks we had our final video which was nothing short of incredible. Its been about 2 months since our wedding and I can say we cherish and enjoy the final product Vu gave us way more than the hundreds of pictures taken by our photographer. I was a very picky/OCD bride, so for me to say that hiring Vu was the best decision I made in the 2 year long wedding planning process means a lot. He gave us something that I am so proud of and love showing off. Thanks again Vu !!

"Vu is very passionate about his work. Great price, EVEN BETTER QUALITY of work. I barely noticed him(he was never in anyones way). He worked so well with the photographer and was down for whatever we asked of him. He also made great suggestions for the video and the teaser turned out GREAT. Thank you so much!"
