We hired Andrew to capture our wedding in August 2021!
Out of a stroke of luck, he was able to be with us in NJ all the way from Virginia! He was incredibly professional and easy to communicate with. We had an in-depth zoom call with him so he could get to know us, know what was important to us as a couple, and review the schedule of the day. Even after a hurricane drastically changed our plans 24 hours before our wedding, Andrew was flexible and seamlessly moved to our new venue, locations for first look and bridal party portraits & overall schedule. He brought a second videographer and together, they captured our day perfectly! He was always in the background, I barely recognized his presence, but when we received our video a few weeks later it was AMAZING how he captured every single special moment! We will cherish the video of our special day forever!
I must have sourced close to two dozen videographers before finding Andrew (formerly 5801 Wedding Cinema when we signed). I was incredibly particular about the film style I preferred and knew I wanted to try to incorporate drone footage. When I finally came across Andrew's work I was really excited. Michelle was easy to communicate with and my initial phone conversation with Andrew completely sold us on signing with him! Unfortunately COVID disrupted our Florida destination wedding plans and we had to postpone numerous times until finally landing on an April 2021 date. Michelle was incredibly patient, kind, and flexible in working with me to reschedule to several new dates. Unfortunately there was a slight issue with our final date working out, but Michelle & Andrew offered me a few generous options including sending some other videographers they've worked with regularly and then Andrew handling the editing once he received the footage. The plan totally worked for us and while we were bummed not to have Andrew there on our wedding day, the trailer & film still came together really beautifully. We have received so many compliments from family & friends who have been incredulous by how perfect our videos are! I would HIGHLY recommend considering Andrew for your wedding videography!
Andrew and Michelle are truly the best. To be honest, my husband didn't want to have a videographer at our wedding because he felt it would be obtrusive during moments that were meant to be natural or intimate, and I initially agreed to forego a videographer to save money in our budget. As our wedding day got closer, I started to worry that I would regret not having a videographer at our wedding - you only have one chance to memorialize your wedding forever in video and you can't get it back. Luckily, when we found Andrew's website, they made it clear their goal is for you to not even notice they are there, and they were absolutely right! Andrew and Michelle are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and professional - not to mention super talented - and we enjoyed working with them leading up to our wedding and meeting them on the morning of, but to be honest, for the rest of the wedding day, we forgot they were even there. We got to be natural and just enjoy every moment and they captured it all without getting in the way one bit. As a bride, its cliched to say, but I was shocked at how fast the wedding day went by. After a year of meticulous planning, the day was such a blur and I was sad I had missed so many tiny details and moments I had worked so hard to orchestrate. My worries were immediately assuaged the second we got our videos back from Andrew and Michelle - they had captured every little and moment I loved from our wedding, and every little detail and moment I may have missed, and given it all back to us to cherish and relive forever. I got to see the reactions of our bridesmaids during the ceremony that I didn't get to see the day of, and my husband and I get to re-listen to our vows together any time we want. They even worked with me to make tiny edits (even before which the videos were beyond perfect) so that we were 100% happy with every detail of the final products. The value of these videos to us is immeasurable and we could not be more grateful that we had second thoughts about doing without a videographer. We are especially grateful we chose Andrew and Michelle and we cannot overstate how happy we are to have worked with them and with the videos they gave us! We give them our highest recommendation, without reservation, and we wouldn't hesitate to work with them again ourselves. Thank you SO much, Andrew and Michele - what a pleasure!
Andrew and his team are so wonderful! Michelle is so organized and knowledgeable about their business and Andrew has a very creative eye! During the getting ready process, he was very respectful of our privacy and working with us to get the classic shots on film. I have no idea where he blended into but I did not feel a camera on me all night during the ceremony and reception; he stays invisible but easy to find at the same time if that makes sense. Andrew and his partner that day were so sweet and very easy to work with!
An unreal product at a fantastic price point, 5801 Wedding Cinema makes your dream day come to life in a way you’d never think possible. When my fiancé and I were first browsing around vendors, we hated what we saw. Vendor after vendor, the product was poor but the cost was high. We started wondering if we even wanted a video of our wedding. But then, we found 5801. Our entire view changed. The crispness of the cameras, the subtlety in shot selection, the precision in the editing, the way they wrote and scripted a story with each and every video- we knew they were the one. They’re experts who don't throw their expertise in your face. They let the work speak for itself. The best part? Their pricing was perfect- they were less expensive than some of their competitors but delivered tenfold on the product. Not only was the quality better, but they also gave us a trailer and a full length video, and nearly 10 hours of coverage. And believe me- their videos will have you and your guests talking and reminiscing like no other.
In the lead up to the wedding and on the big day, Andrew and Michelle were courteous, respectful, and professional. They worked with us on our vision and kept us on track to reach our goals. On the wedding day, they melded into the background, getting the perfect shots from the perfect angles (including a drone shot), and communicating with us as needed, all while making sure they didn’t interfere with our ceremony or get in the way of any pictures. It’s like they were invisible ninjas. If ninjas knew how to wield a camera and edit fantastic films. Epic stuff.
The main point - BOOK 5801 IMMEDIATELY AND DONT EVEN THINK TWICE!!! I promise you won’t regret it. Needless to say, my wife and I went from considering bailing on a videographer to watching our videos several times a week. 5801 Wedding Cinema captured every perfect moment, and edited each one together in a way that allows us to relive the best day of our lives at the touch of a button. We can’t thank them enough for their kindness and enthusiasm, and would recommend (and have recommend them already!) to anyone.
I was recommended 5801 Wedding Cinema after asking for recommendations on a Wedding Connection facebook group of 70,000+ members from the US. My now-husband and I had gone back and forth between having a videographer or not because we did not think it was an important factor for us; as we had gotten closer to our wedding date we had come to the conclusion that it was something that we would truly regret not having. After looking at 5801's work online and talking with Michelle on the phone, I knew that they were the perfect fit for us and would perfectly capture our wedding day in video form. Michelle and Andrew both flew into NJ from Florida to shoot our wedding and brought their drone along for a shot that I had requested which they had not done before (starting with a close up of my husband and I on the golf course and then the drone traveling away from us in the distance) and the shot came out PERFECT!!! We were sent a quick teaser the following morning which was a complete surprise and our trailer and feature film were sent to us within less than 3 months from our wedding date. The day of our wedding, Michelle and Andrew arrived early, worked extremely well with our photographers (who have since said how great they were as well and would use them as video recommendations as well) and truly blended into our day without bothering us or dragging us from place to place like other videographers may do. Our videos depict our wedding day flawlessly and in a romantic, video documentary way. The editing and video itself is so beautiful and brings us back to our wedding day every time that we watch it. We love having the ability to watch it online with our video links as well as with our usb on our smart tv or computers. Everyone that has watched our video has raved about it and friends of ours that have used other videographers have also expressed that they wished their wedding video was as great as ours was. We are forever grateful for 5801 and Andrew & Michelle and are so happy that we included them in our wedding day! Our day and our videos would not be the same without them!
5801 Wedding Cinema with Andrew and Michelle are wonderful. We recently used them for our daughter's wedding on July7th, 2018. We just viewed the trailer and it is magnificent. We all couldn't be happier. We would definitely recommend them for your affairs!!
5801 Wedding Cinema was incredible! Their videographer, Greg, did an amazing job throughout the entire wedding, from bridal prep, to the ceremony to the reception. We absolutely love the footage we have and the final product was made quickly and very professionally. Highly recommended!!
5801 Wedding Cinema is amazing!!! They did my brother in laws wedding in Miami 2 years ago and I loved their video so much that I had to have them for our wedding in New Jersey. Michelle is so nice and easy to work with and answers emails very quickly! The video came back awesome!! I could not be happier! I highly recommend!!!
Andrew and Michelle were incredible to work with! We almost didn't book a videographer, and I am so glad we did. Their pricing is very fair, and I like how services are available ala carte as well as in packages. Our ceremony was outdoors, so sound quality was very important to us. Their sample videos really speak for themselves. The quality and style is exactly what we were looking for. Watching our highlight video brings me right back to our wedding day, with all the feels, every time. I love that we also have our full ceremony and speeches in the full video so we can look back on them on special occasions.
We hired 5801 on the recommendation of our photographer, and they were incredible. Wonderful to work with before, during, and after the event. The final product was exactly what we were looking for, and they followed up every week after the wedding to keep us posted on the progress of our video.
My husband and I hired 5801 Productions for our wedding in March 2016. Honestly, I wasn’t even sure if I wanted a Videographer before my wedding. Luckily, my wedding planner and friends convinced me that it was well worth my money. I am so happy that we picked 5801 Productions because I absolutely love the work that they did. When I first watched our highlights video I cried because it felt like I was reliving my wedding and all of the same emotions came back from that day. They were very professional and I didn’t even know they were at the wedding for the majority of the time. They were extremely fast during the editing process and I got back everything within a month of my wedding! I would highly recommend 5801 Productions!
Selecting a videographer to record our wedding was the toughest decision we had to make. We wanted someone who could capture "us." And Andrew and his team accomplished that, and so much more than we could have ever imagined. On our wedding day, everything that could go wrong, did. It poured, leaving our plans to be swapped and changed at last minute. And Andrew and his team never missed a beat. They were everywhere, and yet. appeared to be nowhere. At the end of our wedding, I was worried we hadn't gotten the footage we wanted because I felt like I never saw the cameras.
And then, I opened my email one day to find the first segments of our video, and watched with tears pouring down my face. Andrew was at all the perfect moments. Capturing every perfect expression. He caught not only the moments everyone hopes for, but all the moments in between that we didn't catch. We feel like we had a friend as our videographer, who may have only met us once or twice, but really paid attention to get "us."
From the moment we booked with them, we were happy. Michelle in their office is a bride's dream come true - there is no question too big or small that she doesn't answer with attention. We could have never in a million years anticipated the footage we ended up with. Our rainy wedding looks like a fairy tale on the screen.
Every now and then, you find a company who redefines quality and service. And 5801 are exactly those folks.
Without hesitation, I would recommend them 100 times over.
