and unique each wedding video he created was. We spoke to Ed on the phone a few times before the wedding and met him in person for the first time on the day of (he offered to meet up prior but things were busy). Despite only having ever spoken on the phone, he connected with my partner and I right away and put us at ease as he recorded our video. We wanted a video that felt natural and organic and he did a great job of keeping the shots from feeling too posed. He also recommended the photographer that we ended up hiring, Chester Canasa, and they worked incredibly well together to capture both photos and video. During the ceremony and reception Ed seemed to genuinely enjoy himself and even went above and beyond staying beyond the contracted time to make sure he got all of the toasts. Ed sent us a teaser video within two days of the wedding that captured all of the unique features of our day. We are so excited to get our longer length video-- I cannot recommend Ed and his team enough!

Ed is also super cool and easy to talk to, which made us feel really comfortable before, during and after the ceremony. It was very obvious that he takes a lot of pride in his work, which I really admired and appreciated. Additionally, a few weeks before our wedding ceremony, he sent us over a quick questionnaire so he could get to know us better (since we live out of town). He wanted to ensure he met all of our expectations, which he absolutely exceeded. Thank you so much, Ed!

uch with Derrick over the months and he is super responsive and managed the meetings/organization and details. I met with the core team in person and and via skype to review my crazy logistics, and they provided the best input to help the day go smoothly. Now onto the day of. They arrived at the hotel i stayed at and took about 45 min on my detail shots. If they're taking such care with pictures of your dress and shoes, then you know you're getting some quality stuff from this team. Kevin and Ed were fun and kept me peppy/reassured even though i kept glaring at the snow. My guess is that they also scouted the building because they found a balcony for us to take photos and walked me out so i would slip (in solidarity, they even told me they'd fall with me if it came to it). I loved that thoroughness and thought they put into the location. They even helped me carry stuff to the uber! While some of the crew was with me, they sent a few others to the venue where the groom + groomsmen were setting up and getting ready. They had a number of different angles, shots and locations they wanted to try, many of them were not exactly easy or comfortable for them to do (i.e. being out in the snow and cold), but they wanted to help me get the best shot. FYI, i think they also ruined their drone for me. Throughout the night, i was speaking and walking around to see friends, and out of the corner of my eye, i could see the team taking photos of everything. I literally think they didn't take any breaks. Am i happy with everything? Absolutely. I've been to a lot of weddings, and many times my friends complain about whom they hire. I have zero and am so glad they were my vendor. Thank you for a great wedding day!
