I can’t say enough good things about Barnum Films. Josh came early and was the most helpful person I could have asked for. He was so patient with my friends, family and especially me; the bride! His artistic way of videoing my wedding day is incredible. I had my video delivered to me in less than two weeks! My now husband and I have now watched our videos multiple times since receiving them and they are the most special thing to us so we can relive the best day of our lives, over and over again. Thank you Josh!!! You will not regret booking Barnum Films.
HIGHLY recommend Josh/Barnum films. He was such a pleasure to work with, has a great energy, listened to what was important to me and my husband. We didn't meet him in person until the day of our wedding and everything went seamlessly. Our wedding video is perfect. Do not hesitate!!!!
Daniel and Joshua were amazing! I cannot express how much we loved our videos! They had such amazing attention to detail and captured the feel of our day so well! When we got our videos back it took us right back to our wedding day and brought tears to our eyes! Barnum Films was really exceptional on all fronts of our wedding video experience!
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Josh Barnum from Barnum Films as our wedding videographer, and he was simply amazing. Josh arrived early, full of enthusiasm and positivity, ready to go. The way he helped out and hyped me up was like having another best man by my side. Despite it being our first time meeting, it felt like we had known each other for years.
Throughout the day, Josh was in perfect sync with our photographers, always ready with the perfect shot. He captured every moment from start to finish with total professionalism, and went above and beyond in delivering everything promised in our package—and then some! His use of drone footage in the videos added a unique element to the videos that we really appreciated, he even let me fly the drone which was awesome!
Josh gave us a social media teaser first, and from that moment, we knew the final product would be incredible. His editing skills are truly world-class, and he did a phenomenal job with everything. On top of that, he was flexible with payment terms, making the process stress-free and convenient.
If you're looking for a wedding videographer, look no further—Josh Barnum is your guy! His pricing is extremely reasonable for the level of service he provides, and we couldn't be happier with his work. Above everything else, Josh is just a really awesome guy, and we had a lot of fun working with him on our big day. Highly, highly recommend!
Josh was the absolute best to work with!! He was incredible and his work is even better! If you are debating a video.. do it! And hire Josh to film it for you! 5 stars over and over again!
Working with Barnum Films was seamless from start to finish! They were super communicative throughout the process and we got our videos much quicker than I expected! All of our correspondence was with Josh, but Danny was the one actually there filming on our wedding day and he was AWESOME. They both were super friendly and easy to work with, what a duo! Our videos came out amazing and we are so grateful we chose Barnum Films to capture our day!
Josh Barnum at Barnum Films was absolutely incredible to work with from the moment we contacted him to inquire, until he sent us our final wedding video, he has far exceeded our expectations completely! Aside from creating one of the most beautiful wedding videos I have ever seen and being able to relive our day that was captured in the most wonderful way, Josh was timely, very efficient, highly communicative and just straight up AWESOME to work with. He made me feel so comfortable the entire time and was always checking in with me and my husband to see if we needed anything throughout the night of our wedding. Everyone is so impressed with our video, I can’t stop watching it. I am so grateful for Barnum Films 💍👍🏻
I cannot say enough good things about Barnum Films! Josh shot my wedding and he captured every moment so beautifully. He is kind, communicative, and very professional. My husband and I are so thankful to have all these special moments on film. If you are looking for a videographer, book Barnum Films- You won't be disappointed!!

Barnum did such an incredible job with our wedding video! They were so responsive and easy/fun to work with - we didn’t have to worry about anything! Our highlight video was beautiful and was so special to share with everyone. They did such an amazing job capturing our special day I couldn’t recommend them enough!
We can only say "WOW"! The videos of the wedding are beautiful. The videographers were easy to work with and captured all the important moments.
We have nothing but high praise and positive feedback for this whole operation. From start to finish we were always provided with excellent service, to the point where we thought it far exceeded the cost that we paid! Make sure to check out their full list of video work, it is fantastic - pacing, angles, lighting, transition, and everything was leagues better than all the others we looked at. At first I didn’t even think we needed video, but Barnum Films totally proved me wrong, it was sooo worth it!
We started out in contact with Josh, who is very responsive and straightforward to work with. Contracts, planning, and all of that were done without a hitch. Our wedding was in Buffalo NY 2023.
The day of the wedding we got two shooters, Danny and Ben, and they were fantastic. They had a really great vibe and got along with our photographers and wedding party very well, which really helped make an overall synergy that got everyone comfortable and happy - the perfect recipe for good photos and video.
Then came the video. We were honestly blown away with how nicely the video turned out! I think we watched the highlight video at least 3-4 times the day we got it. It was the perfect video to be able to look back at our wedding and say yeah that was such a good time with everyone! We went with Barnum Films because of the really fun, yet still very sentimental and memorial, production and they delivered! Our highlight and feature film made us get in our feels again while also making us laugh out loud; it was perfect.
I can’t overstate how amazing Josh was to work with! It can seem a bit weird for people to follow you around with cameras all day but I immediately felt like I had known Josh for ages. He’s truly wonderful to be around.
I smiled throughout the entire highlight reel he sent me and it was better than I even imagined. It was both beautifully filmed AND edited, and he captured moments I didn’t even realize he caught. It immediately transported me back to my wedding day, plus more, as I got to see the things going on that I didn’t originally get to see.
Josh will always be the first videographer I recommend. Thank you thank you thank you Josh, everything is perfect and I can’t thank you enough.
Josh at Barnum Films was wonderful to work with for our wedding this May. He is so friendly, encouraging and knowledgeable and ensured our day went smoothly and we got all of the shots we wanted. He sent us our videos so quickly after our wedding day and we couldn't be more thankful to him for capturing our wedding day so beautifully!
We got married 6/17/2023. Josh Barnum from Barnum Films was our videographer. I already knew we were going to love him from our pre phone call to go over what’s most important to us on our big day to least important. The day of the wedding, Josh made not only us but everyone involved so comfortable. He felt more like a friend who was there to support us and was as excited as we were. I could tell with the amount of footage and effort he was capturing that our video would be everything we hoped for. He exceeded all of our expectations. We cannot recommend him more. Please take our word for it, if you need a videographer, this is the person to bring every special moment together for you. We know this video is what we’ll be watching for years to come, the two of us but also our families and children.
We hired Barnum Films for our small and simple wedding and the videos we received were anything but small and simple - they were absolutely STUNNING. They were able to capture every single simple amazing minute. The lighting, the angles, the colors - absolutely breathtaking. We are so thankful to have videos that we get to cherish forever. I cannot stress enough that getting a videographer is worth the money. Especially Barnum Films. Very affordable and worth every penny.
I hired Josh at Barnum Films to film my sisters wedding in October ‘22, hoping to capture memories to last a lifetime but not realizing how attentive to every detail he could be. All the things we put so much time & effort into for the big day, he captured. He caught us laughing, crying, but most of all he captured how in love the bride & groom were on their big day.
Working with Josh was more than an easy experience, he is quick to respond, transparent about his pricing as well as the product you’re getting, and is SO nice to work with in person the day of. He has a lot of experience under his belt, so when we needed something like a hair pin he had it on hand which was totally unexpected. He is a man who comes prepared! When I needed help getting on my sister‘s bracelet on, he was even kind enough to help us do that!
I kept saying over and over on that day how lucky we were to have hired him to be there with us, I can’t imagine anybody better being there. The videos we received are high-quality and beautifully done. The turnaround time was great, just over a month. Watching them you really re-live the day, and I feel that we couldn’t have hired a better videographer than Barnum films, I could not recommend them highly enough!!
We are so happy that we hired Josh to be our wedding videographer! He did an amazing job creating a high light film and full length feature film. The videos exceeded our expectations... Josh is so talented at what he does. He was great to work with leading up to the wedding and on our wedding day, making us feel so comfortable! Do yourself a favor and hire Barnum Films, you will be so happy you did!
Barnum Films knocked our wedding videography out of the park! Everything from the communication to the planning, to the execution on wedding day and the final videos/result, we couldn't have asked for a better experience and video team to capture the magic of our big day. Thank you so much, Barnum Films!!
Josh was the best! My husband and I are extremely awkward when it comes to photos and videos, but Josh and my photographer made us feel so comfortable the entire time. He was so responsive and accommodating throughout the whole process. The video was beautifully done. If you are wondering if you should hire a videographer to capture your day - DO IT! My husband and I have watched our video a dozen times. I highly recommend booking Barnum Films for your wedding
Barnum Films is amazing! Josh was so communicative throughout the whole process. From our first messages, where Josh talked my husband and me through the different options and helped us choose what was right for us, to the very day of our wedding he made everything feel so calm and made sure we were all on the same page (which of you're planning a large event you know how difficult it can be to explain your vision to essentially a stranger!). Daniel was our videographer and he was FANTASTIC! He was very punctual, made sure to check in throughout the getting ready process, asking to take certain pieces out to set up shot and just to make sure we were all doing ok! He not only got some great shots but he made it a blast! He ran around and directed us through each step which was great! He followed that up with doing an amazing job throughout the rest of the event! We received our videos last night and honestly we could not be happier with how they turned out. You can tell that these guys really enjoy their jobs and their clients because they put their hearts and soul into these films, from the costumer care to the actual videography, to the editing. If you are even contemplating a videographer, contact Barnum Films! Having our film lets us relive that day and having it be so fantastic is icing on the cake!
Hiring Josh for our wedding photography and videography services was one of the best decisions I’ve made. His professionalism, expertise, enthusiasm, patience and positivity was exactly what we needed. My husband absolutely hates taking photos, let alone posing all day long; and I can also be quite awkward and uncomfortable. Josh made it so enjoyable and easy for the both of us. We felt like we made a new friend by the end of the night. His videographer, also Josh, was wonderful as well. We without a doubt, 10/10 recommend Barnum Films. I can not wait to see the results! Thank you so much Josh!!
Words cannot express how truly amazing Josh is at what he does! He brought so much positive energy and enhanced the enjoyment of the day! Hiring Josh as your Wedding Videographer is a MUST. We had so much fun watching the video over and over again, reliving the best day of our lives!
I have known Josh for a long time, we grew up together. Having Josh with Barnum Films be the videographer for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Josh not only was the videographer for my wedding but also my sister’s wedding 3 years ago. Since then, I have had the pleasure of watching Josh grow as an artist, his the videos just keep getting better and better.
On our day Josh was personable, creative, attentive and very easy going. He didn’t add any stress to the day what so ever. He made my husband and I very comfortable the entire day. He made us laugh making for some great footage. Out of no where he would see the shot and have to get it! Which made the whole concept videoing very natural. With our guests he remained professional while having fun to get some awesome shots. The day would not have been the same without Josh. When my dad came into the house before our first look as I was standing there and he was not ready at all (insert instant panic) Josh remained super cool. Josh and our photographer helped to get my dad ready and put everyone in the right place so first looks would not be spoiled. Crisis averted!
We cannot recommend Barnum Films enough, give Josh the creative freedom to make a beautiful wedding video for you to remember your day. Our videos are stunning, no words can describe how Josh managed to capture our love and special day so perfectly.
If you are going back and forth about having a videographer at your wedding…let me tell you Josh of Barnum Films completely blew us away! His highlight video captured bits of all our important moments and intricately wove them together in a beautiful and fun way. Josh was like a sounding board the day of with his easy going nature and ability to find out information for as well as keep the flow of the day/evening going in making sure we accomplished certain things. He put our minds at ease while at the same time capturing beautiful moments. The videos are a keepsake we will cherish. Thank you!
Josh and his brother Daniel were so down to earth, and an absolute pleasure to work with. they worked with us when we had to push our wedding back a year due to COVID and were always easy to reach and communicate with. Their prices were very reasonable, and they were attentive and fun to work with on the day of our wedding as well. Our video was given to us in a timely fashion and the results were exceptional! I recommend them to anyone!
We chose Josh as our videographer, and we are so glad we did! He was so easy to work with throughout the planning process—a no stress vendor for sure. On the wedding day, Josh was professional, fun, and friendly, and we could tell he was getting great footage all day. We were so excited to get our videos only a few weeks after the wedding day, and they are beautiful! Josh did a fantastic job creating a video that captured our day perfectly, and we will watch it for many years to come. If you are looking for a great videographer who does amazing work for an affordable price, look no further!
Josh was fantastic! Very personable and great with our guests!
Josh and I have known each other for about 5 years now, as we used to work together at a previous employer. I had known about his videography business, and was so impressed when I saw his work that I knew I wanted him to capture my wedding someday. Luckily, Josh ended up being available the weekend of our wedding. Josh was so much fun to work with, making the entire bridal party laugh and comfortable to just be ourselves. We received a sneak peak just days after our wedding, and were so impressed. We can’t wait to see the final video, and have no doubts that it will be absolutely amazing. We will be recommending Josh for years to come! You will not be disappointed with his work!
