Thomas was amazing on our wedding day! I will forever cherish our wedding videos. I hardly noticed him film throughout the day, everything was seamless!
Not only was Thomas available on a holiday and within a 2 months short notice, but he KILLED our very non-traditional wedding film. My husband and I LOVE The Office and wanted nothing more than an Office themed wedding video and Thomas DELIVERED 👏🏻👏🏻 Not only did he capture the quirky, awkward moments and side glances that are true Office fashion, but he made an intro and made it seem like a real video. It’s just amazing. I’m so happy he did our video!

Thank you so much for your review. It was so much fun taking part and editing your film. Thank you for choosing me and it was so fun doing something different!! I wish you both nothing but the best!
We talked to several SC videographers and I was iffy about having a wedding video, but after talking to Thomas I was sold and Im SO GLAD we did. He was responsive, organized, punctual, such a nice guy and REALLY good at what he does. He made sure he knew what was important to us so he could perfectly capture our day. Before the wedding he took the time to capture our wedding details, precious moments with our parents & wedding party, got all the gorgeous wedding footage and fun reception dancing. He made everyone feel so comfortable and natural that we didnt even know he was there most of the time. Seeing our final wedding video and reliving those amazing moments was priceless. I could watch it a thousand times and never be tired of it. He captured our day perfectly. It flowed naturally, the music was spot on, the audio was great, and boy was it emotional!!

Thank you Angaeli for choosing us!! Loved everything about your day and wish you both the best with your journey together. So glad you loved the films!
Any questions?
Hire 326 Films! I don't have enough good things to say about Thomas! What a wonderful treasure this is for my family! Thomas was amazing. he showed up early, was overly professional, ran back to get our forgotten gift so we could have it for our First Look and he was able to capture some of the most breathtaking moments of our wedding. We didn't even know he was there half of the time! :)
My husband was on the fence about hiring a videographer, but once he saw the completed videos he knew that this investment was one of the best ones we made for our wedding.
I LOVE pictures, but having a video collage of your wedding day is something that can't be recreated. Make this decision - you won't regret it!
We loved working with 326 Films! Thomas was so flexible and easy to work with. He made sure to capture every special moment we requested as well as beautiful candids and moments we couldn't be present for. The lighting, editing, music, etc. was all beautiful and perfectly tailored to our style. On top of that, they somehow captured crystal clear audio during our ceremony even though my husband forgot to turn on his lapel mic. We barely even noticed they were there and actually thought they left at one point because they were so discrete! Thomas also somehow turned around our highlight film within a week, it was the perfect way to end our honeymoon. Highly recommend!
We loved working with Thomas for our wedding! He was so nice and professional, and our wedding videos turned out amazing. He put together a quick 30 second video within a few days to give us a sneak peak which we loved. We then received a highlight film and a feature film along with ceremony and speech content. We barely even noticed him filming, but he got such great footage. Leading up to the wedding he was super responsive and asked for any details we definitely wanted to be captured ahead of time which I thought was great. I'm obsessed with our videos and everyone who has seen them absolutely love them too. I definitely recommend Thomas if you're looking for an awesome videographer!

Thank you so much for the kind words!! It was very much my pleasure and thank you for choosing us to capture your day!
I cannot recommend 326 films highly enough! Thomas, with 326 Films, did our wedding video and did a phenomenal job! Not only does he give you a highlight film, but you also get a longer feature film, a video of the entire ceremony and a video of just all of the toasts/speeches. I even asked him to add a short clip from the feature film to the highlight film, and he was able to add it in less than a day, with no questions asked.
He also provides you with a thorough questionnaire prior to your wedding to understand your likes and dislikes when it comes to wedding videos. He was easy to work with and always responds very quickly. He truly captured every moment of our day (seriously he was always there) but blends in so that you don't feel like you're being recorded all day. The video quality is incredible and we could not be happier! Cannot recommend him highly enough!
Thomas was absolutely incredible and we are so thankful he was able to be our wedding videographer. After my initial phone call with Thomas, I knew he was going to be the perfect fit for us! We will never be able to say enough great things about Thomas, his team, and our wedding films. Throughout the entire planning process and our wedding day, Thomas was responsive, kind, personable, and professional. Our videos came back in a much quicker turnaround time than we were expecting and they are something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thomas and his team also worked so well with the rest of our vendors (many of our vendors actually recommended Thomas to us and I can see why!). We are beyond thrilled with our experience working with 326 Films and would recommend them a million times over.

Thank you Ali!! I loved every moment of the day. The emotion of it and the beauty. Thank you again for choosing us!
Thomas is exceptionally talented and produces top quality material. I hired him for my brother's wedding and he was fantastic. He was very thorough and courteous and the wedding video is the best I have ever seen. The quality is amazing, the shots are great and the music matches appropropriate. Thomas is truly gifted and you will not regret working with 326 Films. This is the best money spent, the best service, and the best quality!
Response from the Vendor on 07/08/2021
Thank you for choosing us! The wedding was an absolute ball and all smiles! It was a pleasure to play a small part.
Thomas was an absolute pleasure to work with! Our videos are better than I could have ever imagined and the turn around time was quicker than expected. Thomas was so professional and a ton of fun! My photographers even expressed that He was the best videographer that they have ever worked with. He literally had coverage on every angle. The video quality is amazing! Thank you so much Thomas for making our special day so memorable!
Response from the Vendor on 07/08/2021
You're very welcome! You made my job so easy and fun. We wish you nothing but the best!
I will never be able to find the words to properly express how highly I recommend Thomas. Not only were the videos to die for, but he also was very fun, kind, friendly, and professional. The turn around time on the videos was super reasonable and everything was out of this world beautiful! 10 out of 10 would recommend him to anyone looking for a videographer!
Response from the Vendor on 07/08/2021
Thank you so much! Words like these are why I love doing what I do! I loved capturing the day and thank you for choosing us!
Due to COVID, my husband and I postponed our Greenville wedding reception and eloped on our original wedding date in Atlanta (where we live now). Even with this last minute change, Thomas was happy to drive all the way to Atlanta to video our elopement ceremony for us. Thomas is professional, personable and made us feel SO comfortable. We love our elopement video and will cherish it forever. Thomas also did my friends wedding at the beginning of the year in Columbia, SC and the video is spectacular. We would recommend Thomas for any wedding, elopement or special event!
Response from the Vendor on 10/26/2020
Thank you Amanda for leaving us feedback. It was truly my pleasure to come to Atlanta. With everything going I am still glad you enjoyed your day! Thank you agin for choosing us!
Words can not explain how amazing and grateful I am 326 Films. Due to the current circumstances of COVID-19 we were not able to go with our original videographer due to travel. We didn’t find this out until about 4 weeks away from the big day which as a bride stressed me out!! 😩 I searched on The Knot for a company that had similar style to what we were looking for and found 326 Films. Upon reaching out to them I could tell immediately that they were very professional and they also had my day available due to some postponing in the schedule 🙌 that definitely worked in our favor. Thomas Kemp and his team arrived on time and stayed until the very end. They were friendly and kind and worked great with our photographers and other vendors to make my big day run smoothly and amazing. We received out sneak peek video a week later and WOW!!! Is all I can say. I can’t wait to see the whole film because the sneak peek definitely had me in tears and I watch each just about every evening just trying to remember the day that I married my best friend. I just want to thank Thomas and his team for all of there hard work, flexibility, and kind spirits. I would recommend hiring 326 films for your wedding over and over and over again a million times. 🥰

Thank you Kamisha for the review! It was such a pleasure to be apart of your day. I truly hope you and your family enjoy the films for years to come! We wish you nothing but the best!!
100000000% recommend!!!! We are absolutely blown away by our wedding video. Thomas found a way to capture the sweetest moments, and we will cherish it forever! He was also so kind and wonderful to have around the entire day. He really is the best in the game!
Thomas at 326 Films was fantastic to work with. He was always quick to respond, professional, and fun. We surprised the bride and groom with an edited version of their wedding, and Thomas kept the secret and provided the video very quickly. The quality of the video was everything we could have hoped for! I would highly recommend Thomas and 326 Films for any event!
Thomas with 326 Films was so easy to work with and was so calm on the wedding day. He was kind from the beginning and offered so many details about pricing and packages. I would definitely recommend him to everyone because he is truly so talented and kind!
I have not seen our final video yet, but working with Thomas was a delight! I knew I had to have him capture our wedding day after seeing just one of his videos that had me in tears. I was watching people I don't know at all and it gave me all the feels. I didn't get to meet him until the wedding day, but he fit right in, and was super nice! I can't wait to see our final product! <3 Thanks Thomas!
I cannot recommend Thomas and his team enough! My husband was a little skeptical of having a videographer as he is uncomfortable being recorded but Thomas made sure to really blend in while still capturing every little moment. I appreciated the effort he went to making my husband comfortable and even more happy with our highlight reel! Thomas is so easy to talk to and get along with and he's very responsive when communicating! Don't hesitate to pick 326 Films to capture your day!
Thomas is a fantastic videographer! He was very easy to get in touch with, always getting back to me in 24 hours or less. He also incorporated all of my detailed requests into the videos. The final product was very professionally done. Now my husband and I will always be able to remember the fun times we had with family and friends celebrating our special day.
Thomas and his staff were amazing. They made everyone feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. Our wedding films were everything we hoped for and more. He captured every little detail and we will get to cherish them forever. I would highly recommend 326 Films for your big day!

Thank you, Ashton, for choosing us and we enjoyed capturing your day! We loved telling your story!
Thomas and team did an amazing job!! Beforehand Thomas and I spoke and got to know each other before the big day. This was nice because moving forward it felt like working with a friend and not a stranger. Thomas made me feel comfortable expressing what I wanted my video to be like and was very easy to get in touch with both before and after my big day. Waiting for my video didn't even take that long and it turned out amazing! I am so happy with it and can't wait to watch it in the years to come. I really wanted Thomas to capture the moments of the day, not just the decorations or staged items, and he did just that. You would be lucky to work with Thomas for your wedding! (or any occasion for that matter)
This is my video if you want to see how it turned out! https://vimeo.com/249242602

You're welcome and thank you so much for choosing us! It was more than a pleasure to be a part of your special day! Everyone was so laid back relaxed and fun. I wish you and Steve nothing but the best!!
I highly recommend Thomas Kemp with 326 Films! He is such a pleasure to work with and listens to what you want in the video. He does a wonderful job capturing the perfect moments in a creative way. I can't stop watching the video!
For a long time during wedding planning, I was convinced a videographer was not necessary. Luckily, some friends convinced me otherwise and I found Thomas! Thomas listened to what I was looking for and was super easy to communicate with the whole time. On our wedding day, he showed up early to get a feel for our venue and was super flexible when our timeline shifted unexpectantly. He stayed in the background so we didn't feel like we were being filmed while also capturing every moment. We got back our highlight + documentary sooner than expected and they are so amazing! He is very talented and our highlight film fits together perfectly and is better than we could have ever imagined! Highly recommend you choose 326 Films for your big day!
Response from the Vendor on 11/21/2017
Thank you so much for trusting us with your big day! It was truly a pleasure filming you both! You and your families were such a joy to be around and we truly enjoyed every moment! We wish you nothing but the best going forward!!!
Thomas and his team were absolutely remarkable in creating wedding films we will always cherish. From our initial contact to receiving the finished product, he was extremely professional, and as I bride, this was an area where I had no stress once he was booked! On the day of the wedding, he actually beat us to the venue and had already began filming around the site. He was able to capture every special moment while staying in the background to where things felt natural and comfortable. I highly recommend him to anyone searching for a dependable, friendly, creative, and talented videographer!
Working with Thomas and 326 Films was a dream come true! They effortlessly caught all of our special moments, while never disrupting the flow of our day! Thomas is extremely helpful and easy-going. He truly wants to make sure he captures what is most important to the individual couple on their wedding day, and the videos are all stunning! You cannot go wrong with 326 Films! I would 1000x recommend them!
Thomas did a great job getting all of the most important moments throughout my wedding day. I was on the fence about hiring a videographer and am 100% glad that I did. He captured the moments in a way that I will have forever. I watch my highlight film over and over again and I love it more and more every time. He has a great eye and I would definitely hire him again.
We are SO incredibly pleased with the end product... Thomas was able to capture every important moment of the day. Our highlight film was perfect, every frame was well thought out and looked amazing. He has a great eye! The music he paired with the film was perfect as well! 10/10!
Response from the Vendor on 12/12/2016
Hilary I appreciate you choosing 326 Films for your special day. You and Craig were amazing to film! Your chemistry made my job easy. I wish you all the happiness in the world!
Thomas was perfectly professional! Seeing the video of our wedding day was the best way to go. I got emotional all over again, and now I can remember my wedding, the people who are older that spoke at my wedding, and show it to my grandparents who couldn't attend. There were microphones, so all of the voices were heard clearly and so many different angles to our wedding! I get to relive one of the best days of my life on film. Photos are great, but they are staged and only show a single shot. I would recommend 326 Films to every bride who wants to remember the day, the people and all the little intricacies that people often forget. Also, Thomas is so nice and accommodating during the day of the wedding, but also skillful and exacting in his craft with the creating of the wedding video!
326 Films were definitely 1st class! Having Thomas and his team film our wedding was an absolute pleasure and a blessing. Not only were they on time but were very professional in every aspect. We asked for some specific shots and they delivered that and more. Our wedding was truly unique as I'm American and my husband is Australian. We coordinated with Thomas from both countries to provide a film that both families loved!
Thomas did an amazing job. He did exactly what I wanted and captured my day perfectly. People kept commenting on my video how amazing it was how it made them cry. I would recommend him over and over again!
When going through building a budget for our wedding we had a tough time determining if we needed a videographer. We chose to go ahead and do it because everyone said we would be so happy we did. I am so unbelievably happy with our choice. We chose to partner with Thomas with 326 films and he did phenomal work! Being able to look through our footage is amazing. The day of your wedding is so crazy and having such great footage he provided let us to relive the whole day. Thomas was so helpful through the whole process and the videos he put together (feature film and highlight video) are truly incredible. I would highly recommend him to any bride! Thomas thank you so much for letting us relive the happiest day of our lives! (And the highest quality I must add!)
Everything about working with 326 Films was top notch, from the initial contact and preparation for the wedding, to working with Thomas day of, and finally the speed of turn around of the finished films. Thomas put together an amazing wedding documentary and summary video for our us. There was so much he captured that we didn't see or didn't remember, and having 326 Films was way more than worth the cost. We will be recommending 326 Films to anyone/everyone we know.
"Many of you know, perhaps a few of you don’t, that there should be an extra groomsmen up here today. Rachel’s brother, Michael, was killed in a car accident not 48 hours ago. We learned when we gathered for the rehearsal yesterday. We are so sorry. Joe, Cheryl, Patrick, Rachel, and Kaley our love is for you. And here we gather at this place to join this couple who have done the good, hard work already of love and relationship. And we will, in authenticity and pure love, celebrate that tonight as we should. We will do so authentically being the people we need to be for this dad, this mom, this brother, this sister, this brother in law, and this girlfriend. To be loved is all we can be."

A lot of people have asked me how I found the strength to go through with the wedding. The only answer I have is that you don't know what you will have the strength to do until you are faced with it. Originally, I called everything off and our amazing vendors stood on call waiting for word. However; under our circumstances, we could pace the house in shock, anger, and fear, or put on the dresses and show up. After all, Michael knew how important this weekend was for me. It's the reason he was coming home. I found the strength to continue through my parents and my family. You all sincerely showed up for me and George. We danced, we cried, we ate, we drank, and, ultimately at the of the day, I married the only guy I've truly had eyes for over the past nine years.
Thank you again Thomas Kemp of It Takes 2 Photo Booths and 326 Films for this video and the longer documentary film that are more precious to me than I ever thought they could be.

It was certainly my pleasure to film your special day. I was in awe of the strength you and your family displayed throughout the day. I was blessed to be apart of your wedding day. I am truly happy you enjoyed your wedding film. I wish you b...
oth and your families nothing but the best. Thank you again for choosing me.
Thomas and his team are amazing. They made our wedding even more magical by capturing all of the spectacular moments. Thomas is fabulous to work with and very professional. I am so happy I was able to work with him and if I ever need a videographer again, I will definitely use him. Two of my friends getting married this summer have requested his information because they were so impressed with him from seeing him at our wedding. I cannot say enough wonderful words about Thomas and my entire family is greatful that he was there to film the night. Thank you again Thomas!!! You are the best.

Hey Lucy!
It was our pleasure filming your wedding! I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to capture your special day. I am happy for you both and enjoy the married life! Hopefully I will see you at your friends weddings!
Wow! Words cannot begin to describe how pleased I am with everything regarding 326 films. I was so back and forth about whether or not to get a cinematographer, but boy am I glad I decided to go with Thomas! He was so professional leading up to the day of the wedding, and he was such a joy to be around. All of my guests commented on how "that guy was everywhere" and how nice he was! He was very affordable, and well worth every penny. He got our sneak peek film to us within a couple of weeks, and our full length feature film (an hour and a half) in just a month! Both films were unbelievable and far better than I had imagined. He worked so hard, and it definitely showed off. I would recommend 326 Films to anyone and everyone!!! Thank you again, Thomas!
Wow... Mr. Thomas Kemp went above and beyond. I am extremely picky and I was extremely detailed about what I wanted and he hit it right on point. I have only received my highlight video so far but I can tell the full video will be spectacular as well! He works around what you want and need and yields a great finished product. Very happy with his cinematography and will absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for wedding videographer!
Super nice company to work for and their product was fantastic. The only problem that I had was that I paid for them from 7pm-10pm and the photo booth attendant failed to make an announcement that the booth would be closing at 10pm. (like a last call type thing). Many guests did not get to use it and neither did I (the bride!!) I was heart broken when I went to take a picture in it and it was packed up! I had lost all track of time and had no idea it was after 10:00pm!! I was so sad!!
We used It Takes 2 Photo Booth for our company's Vegas themed awards night. The employee's loved the photo booth and Thomas was great to work with! We can't wait to use them again.
