When I started looking into wedding videographers, I knew the moment I saw one of the highlight reels from Amor in Motion that they were the perfect choice. The artistry, focus on details, powerful transitions with the music, incorporation of a...ctual voices and sounds from the event, the expertise in scene movement, and the ability to capture the emotion of the participants was so appealing. I immediately contacted the company inquiring availability for our wedding on June 2nd at the Bridgeport Art Center in Chicago. Based on what I saw, I figured they would be in high demand and it was a long shot. To my delight, they were available! I received a timely response and the details of the packages offered. Now, let’s be real, this service is pricey and many will wonder is it worth it? My fiancé at the time, now husband, was one of these persons. However, I knew that documenting our wedding in this way was very important to me, and he supported my decision.
Soon thereafter, we signed on the dotted line and it was on the books! Before the big day, we were asked to complete a lengthy and detailed questionnaire that was intended to help the team get to know us, our story, and determine the style of the video they would create for us. Along with this, they provided a wonderful online resource for us to pick the perfect music for the highlight film. The form was extensive and took us hours to complete, but our answers created the vision and allowed Amor in Motion to make what we envisioned a reality.
On the day of the wedding, we had Peter and Jose working with us, and they were absolutely wonderful! They were quiet and in the background capturing all the action, and at the same time, ready to jump in and help as we took wedding party photos (Shout out to Jose for holding all the pashminas…lol). Eric and I felt so comfortable working with both of them. They went above and beyond to capture the right scene, even as much as climbing a tree to get the perfect shot. Their positivity and enjoyment of what they were doing was evident. They are both experts in their craft, and we felt so reassured and pleased that we had this company documenting the most special day in our lives.
We knew the final product would be incredible. And we were right! The video that was created for us is nothing short of spectacular. It is everything we had hoped for and more. These amazing artisans were able to take hours and hours of raw footage and create a 5-minute compilation of our wedding that speaks directly to our hearts. They honored the special moments, focused on unique details, highlighted the venue, decor, our guests, and featured the promises we made to each other that day in the most beautiful way. Every time I watch it, I experience the joy and magic of that day. We are incredibly grateful to the entire Amor in Motion team, and give them the highest recommendation. And, just in case you were wondering, my husband has expressed to me that this was definitely worth every cent. This company is wonderful to work with and provides more then just digital files of pictures set to music, they tell the story of your wedding day in a profound, distinctive, and memorable style that I consider priceless, and will treasure forever.
