Across the Bay Films

. He shows how much love the couple has for each other! From the first phone call meeting we knew we made the right choice! His communication through the whole process was incredible, which definitely helped a lot with all the wedding stressors! Pretty sure we have watched our video 20 + times and fall in love with it more and more each time! I can't recommend him enough to anyone that is searching for a videographer!

oss the Bay Films was everything we could have asked for on our wedding day, the video Ivan made for us captured our personalities in the perfect light and made sure every important person was highlighted. If you are looking for a videographer look no further!

and what was important to us, and that was absolutely reflected in our video. Ivan focused on and captured the real moments during our wedding day. Nothing was scripted or forced, it was raw and so incredibly special to my husband and me. We absolutely LOVED our video and truly cannot thank Ivan and his team enough for creating a video that captured our day as beautiful as we remember it.

th and I trusted him throughout the whole process. Nothing but professionalism and poise. The video is what I cared about most and he over delivered. He really puts his heart and soul into his work and you can see his excitement! I told him that he has a very special gift to be able to sift through all of the typical wedding day fluff and find the moments where a couple is truly being themselves and capture their exact identity. He did an amazing job on our romantic, surfer black tie wedding video. Truly an artist.

d in a videographer team- they were hyping us up while also getting the romantic shots. We can't stop watching our film that they seamlessly put together for us! We wanted a film that captured our family celebrating us and that is exactly what we got in our film. We can feel the love and amazing energy of the day watching the video that we felt on the day of. It couldn't be better! If you are considering Across the Bay Films - don't hesitate ...hire them!!

ges. He was the only vendor that did this and it made us feel so much more at ease and excited. We had our original videographer cancel on us and as soon as we found Ivan and had this phone call with him we could tell we were in good hands. Also, now seeing the outcome, we feel as though it was a blessing in disguise! Closer to the wedding, we had another call with him to explain our tastes and specifics we were looking for. Ivan picked up on the smallest details from our phone calls and wedding and made sure each of those things each had a spot in our video. We asked for a "big open" beginning - we got a "big-open" beginning. We told him we liked bourbon and rock music - two songs in the video included payed tribute to those things. We didn't even realize how detailed it all would be until we saw the finished product. The day following our wedding, we received a minute long "teaser". A month following, we received our 8 minute video. A few months later, we received our raw footage. Everything that was promised to us we received in a timely fashion and WOW were we blown away! Our whole wedding day, Ivan was by our side, but easily blended in. We felt very comfortable with him and his crew and they directed us in very natural ways. We could feel that they were just as excited as we were. Our wedding day was at a venue on the beach during hurricane speed winds and Ivan kept us motivated and cheered us on, reassuring us that everything was going to look amazing and it definitely did! I would 100% recommend Across the Bay Films to anyone in the South Jersey/Philadelphia area (or anywhere he's willing to travel to) if you are looking for one! We have received so many complements on our video. We may be a little biased, but we think our video is his best work! 😉 Thank you Ivan!!!

responsive and willing to work with us, so We rescheduled for august 2021. When we finally had our day, Ivan and Chris worked to make us feel really special. Ivan had a quick questionnaire and Zoom call to get to know us and our relationship better. The day of our wedding he implemented what he learned about us and he truly captured our relationship. When Ivan posted teasers on Instagram everyone who saw would say how amazing they were and they were less than a minute long! When we booked with Ivan we added on a full length video as well. When he sent us the final film and the edited full length video in less than a month I was shocked. He really created such amazing films that have all the best parts of our day. He’s creative and artistic and romantic and fun. Chris is so sweet and helpful even holding my bouquet and driving the gold cart. These guys are just so awesome and I’ll recommend them to everyone, Maybe I’ll even invite them to future parties to capture more memories!!

d originally chosen, Ivan helped us make it more special than we could have ever imagined possible! He was extremely easy, friendly & professional to work & communicate with. He even referred us to a fellow vendor for incredible beach decor! This meant everything since it was all we had planned! He was even gracious enough to follow us to our outdoor dinner & dancing afterwards for some additional footage! We can’t thank Ivan enough for creatively documenting our beautiful, intimate ceremony with his artistry & patience. And to think, we weren’t even planning on using a videographer! It is a pleasure to support such a talented, hard working, fellow artist. Now we have a beautiful piece of our history to cherish & share with our family & friends forever! This really means everything due to the circumstances. We wouldn’t change a thing! Ivan, you’ll always hold an extra special place in our ❤️‘S! Love you! XO

try by watching his videos of other couples, but then his personality completely won us over. He was great at explaining the different packages he has and helped us to find the right fit for us. We met with Ivan over the phone twice before meeting him in person the day of the wedding, but he is so personable, professional, sweet and kind, and charming that between the phone calls and emails I felt like he was an old friend that I spent much more time with! He already had a working relationship with our photographer (Katie Dalrymple of KD Photography) and two of them just jived all day long. We always felt natural and able to be ourselves throughout the whole day. I've watched other videographers' videos and I can always pick out the scripted forced movements. We were able to just live in every moment with Ivan and Chris capturing all the interactions. The two of them just made you feel like you were spending time with two friends who wanted what was best for you and your day! The video itself is magical. I smile every time I watch it!! It allows me to relive the day and also see moments I might have missed. They captured not only us, but all our family and friends perfectly. Ivan posted a lot teasers prior to finishing the video (which he completed in record time!!) and I looked forward to every notification from Across the Bay Films! Our family and friends loved all of them too! I highly recommend Ivan and Chris to capture your special moments. The quality of their work along with their down to earth professionalism is exactly what you want for moments you want to remember for forever. I cannot thank them enough for capturing ours!

oth events. Ivan was able to create two very unique highlight videos for us, along with a "teaser" video, and edited ceremony and speeches, within a month of both of our weddings. Ivan is open to all ideas, and is very professional and easy-going. He worked great with all of our other vendors and guests!

it was evident Ivan cared deeply for his couples and brining their vision to life. Ivan and Chris truly went above and beyond. They went out of their way to make it possible for our beach ceremony to be seamlessly live-streamed to our loved ones virtually. Everything was perfect the day of our event and Ivan and Chris fit in naturally with our family and other vendors. Our families continue to compliment how professional and kind they are. We absolutely love our wedding film which captures our day so perfectly and better than we ever could’ve imagined. Additionally, we were very impressed by the very quick turn around time while still exceeding our expectations for quality and attention to detail. We are forever grateful for the opportunity to not only have Ivan and Chris a part of our special day, but to have the most amazing wedding film to cherish for a lifetime.

's beauty, who stirs emotion and is able to showcase that which cannot be put into words, then Ivan from Across the Bay Films is your vendor! We decided to elope due to the pandemic and Ivan captured our day perfectly. We feel so lucky to have found him, and only because our wedding was mid-December during a pandemic, were we able to secure him in such short notice, as this guy books out! If you see his work, you will know why! If we could give him 100 stars, we would. He is SO easy to work with, and such a nice guy overall. Thank you Ivan, for giving us this gift of a lifetime. We have watched our video upwards of 100x already, and still tear up each time! A sign of a job well done! :) All we can say is...HIRE IVAN RIGHT NOW!

They are talented and I am so so so happy we made the decision to have them capture the weekend. I was not sure at first if we wanted to spend on video and it was one of the best decisions we made!!!

remony and speeches. Ivan surely is talented. I could see that in his work he did for other brides. His energy and enthusiam made me say "Yes!! Let's do it!" But still, I didn't ask for anything extra. The day after our wedding, I called Ivan and said, I really need to see it all. The anticipation was real. You miss so much, its true. And you cannot fully understand that until after its over. So I signed up for the next available package. Once the 1 min teaser was released I was convinced. I felt more emotions in 60 seconds than I could have ever anticipated. There is this look my husband gives me, that I never see him make other than quiet moments together. This look makes me feel all the butterflies. Across the Bay films captured this look and then some. Once we got back the full wedding highlight and document, I could not get enough. I eagerly asked Ivan again, what else can you send me? He was so accomodating and quickly put together extra clips to update my document for me. I have watched so many times! I had no idea I was going to enjoy it this much. I am a huge fan and will surely miss working with this team. In the end I ended up requesting all the raw footage. I just didn't want to leave it behind. I love watching our day through their eyes. Across the Bay films, it was so lovely to share this unforgettable day with you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything!

helped us to relax and get some great shots. They have such a great eye for some artsy shots and put it together in such a unique way. There were so many little things going through my mind on my wedding day it was so great to have these videos to look back on - the father/daughter dance, the dance floor, getting ready... they put it together flawlessly. Across the Bay is the best!

lights in our faces. They allowed us to have the space that we needed to enjoy the day and really added happiness to our day. When we received our preview I was in love with everything about it! I really felt like it was a music video! I definitely would Across the Bay Films!! We don’t know how to thank Ivan and the team enough for making our wedding such an amazing day and something we will be able to remember forever!
