Black Tie Video

nd we couldn’t be happier. Our final cut is a beefy 90 minutes long and we cherish every single one of those minutes! The small moments that happened that we were too distracted to remember, those are the reasons you have a videographer. For professionalism, you can’t do better than Black Tie Video. Not only does Jim make sure that you have what you want, he asks questions about things you didn’t even know you wanted or realize you needed. As brides we lose focus a lot, so having a vendor that ACTUALLY looks out for you, well that is so super important, and something that people often take for granted. My husband Brad and I recently experienced the profound loss of his father. While working on the obituary and going through photos we remembered that Jim had captured Brad’s parent’s anniversary dance from our reception. We were hundreds of miles away from home and though we had the full cut from our wedding, knew nothing about video editing. Our wedding had occurred nine months prior, and Jim owed us nothing, but I emailed him in the hopes he could help us by isolating the dance and sending it to us so we could share it at the remembrance. Jim, being the kind of vendor that actually looks out for his clients, pointed out he also had footage of a short speech that my husband’s father gave at the reception, and offered to isolated that as well. Within 2 hours we had both clips at our fingertips, able to show to family and friends, and remember a man that was full of life and joy. It was thanks to Jim that we were able to share those two moments. It was because we hired a man that made me feel when I spoke to him for the first time that he was a genuinely good person. If you’re in doubt of whom you should hire as a videographer, just speak to Jim, you’ll feel by the time you get off of the phone that he is the right person for your big day, we know he was the right person for ours.

lives to watch countless times in the years and decades to come. The professionalism They showed while on scene for the big day is unparalleled. Is the quality of work that we received for the price was 2nd to none. My husband can be hard to pleased and he was beyond impressed with the final cut of our cinematic. short film. Jim was extremely flexible with us as we had to change our wedding date more than once due to the pandemic. He was always gracious respectful and understanding. I am so glad we found him! I would recommend black Thai videography a 1000 times over...

to review over the years. Jim and his team were both professional and personable and so easy to work with. They went out of their way to make sure we happy with the final product. I would highly recommend Black Tie Video to any bride and groom.

layed cake cutting and in fact gave us a highlight montage that wasn't included as part of the package. He is amazing and I would highly recommend him.

he easiest with Jim compared to all my other vendors. I knew from the beginning that he had a passion for doing this and would create an amazing video. On our wedding day, Jim and his wife were amazing! Everyone was impressed by their professionalism and kindness. Just a few short days after the wedding, Jim already had our highlight video and all I can say is WOW!!!! I have watched it over and over and it has brought tears to our eyes reliving our amazing day. Moments were captured that we didn't see and the video helped us capture our whole day. The video exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be happier. We are so excited to see the full video and we know it will be amazing. Thank you for all you did to help capture our special day! You and Barbara are top notch and the best decision we could have made! ❤

quick to respond and I was able to book him right away. I immediately felt relieved. Then, COVID hit. I postponed my wedding and he gave me no issues in moving my contract to my new date. I have now postponed for the second time and again, no issues. Vendors like this one make the wedding planning process much less stressful. Thank you Jim and thank you Black Tie Video!! I can’t wait to finally have my wedding and to see your work!

were beautiful! We had 2 videographers so they were able to capture all the details of the wedding, the ceremony and as the photographer took pictures, they were right there as well. We were very pleased.

Peek was posted within 24 hours of our wedding day. Each project was absolutely beautiful, moving, and perfect. My husband and I cry every time we watch them! Jim and his crew were phenomenal and extremely professional. They provided a quick turnaround on the videos as well. Black Tie Video is extremely unique in that they listen to what you want and create a full length video that encompasses every important aspect of the day. My husband and I cannot say enough positive things about them and will continue recommending them to everyone we know. Thank you so much Black Tie Video!

was a great little taste of our wedding day to post to social media. We just received our full length video and we just cannot wait to share it with our families. Thank you, Jim! Couldn’t imagine a better (also so affordable!) videographer for our most important day!

tion, he provides a full edited wedding video (not just a highlight clip), which is amazing. Highly recommend!!

the guests- which was huge for us. There were everywhere we were and I can't wait to see everything that they were able to capture. We highly recommend Black Tie Video!!

part of our day. 4 days after our wedding, Jim even sent us a sneak peak which meant so much! With all that happens on your wedding day, it is hard to remember everything, and Jim was able to capture those moments on video that I want to treasure forever.

e wedding planning. A few days prior to the wedding, Jim called to ensure that he had all the fine details. On the day of the wedding, Jim and his wife timely arrived at the venue. His wife was a sweetheart and made by bridesmaids and I comfortable as she captured various shots. Based on the high level of professionalism displayed throughout our wedding planning process, we eagerly anticipate the final product. We know it will be great based on his past work. We would certainly book this company again for future events.

t be happier! I cannot wait to receive the rest of our footage! We can't thank you guys enough!

, with Jim, to meeting his wife, Barbara, that day, we could not have received better service. Jim was extremely informative and helpful from the very beginning. Answering questions, returning emails right away, timely phone calls with me, etc. I was a little reluctant in the beginning because it was late notice, only two weeks before the wedding, and also because BTV was very affordable. I was worried, sometimes you get what you pay for, right?!? On the day of our event, Jim and Barb could not have been more kind to us, more helpful or professional. They were funny and personable. And at times, invisable! How they got some of the shots they did, without us seeing, was nothing short of miraculous in our eyes! They were never in the way. Simply, they were fantastic. We were so happy when we left that evening. Jim listened to my desires and wants, and some concerns, and made me feel completely at ease in knowing he would take care of everything, and would do everything in his power to create something for us that would last a lifetime. And he did. Boy, was it worth the wait!!!! Spectacular!! Perfect!! Beautiful!! ...are just a few adjectives I could use to describe our sneak peek and highlight videos. I could go on and on, but only have so much space. We're still waiting for the full length video, but can only imagine how amazing it will be, knowing what we have so far!! I believe businesses like this can live or die based on reviews, and it is my desire to make every effort, to let you know how wonderful BTV is. And you can rest, in complete confidence, knowing that BTV will do all they can to make the memories of your event just as you envisioned -- perfect and stress-free. Kudos to them! ~~Alethia Hauffman

the way, and on top that he is such a nice guy and really takes the time to get to know you and your style. I'd highly recommend using this company and if you can, book Jim!

we had a video camera pointed at us all night. We couldn't have been happier choosing Black Tie Video for our wedding!

the way and will make your day a success! You will never go wrong by using them! You don’t have to go anywhere else. I can guarantee you that if you go anywhere else you will be disappointed and not get your money’s worth. Our wedding was last Sunday on 9/17/17 and my husband and I could not have been happier or more satisfied!

ding date opened and he was extremely familiar with Chesapeake Bay Beach Club. That eased my mind and we booked him. I can easily say that this was the best decision I have ever made. Jim and his wife were absolutely incredible the entire night. They were there and ready to go for all of the "behind the scenes" time prior to the ceremony and stayed until the very end. The extreme added bonus was the afternoon after our wedding I received an email from Jim with a 3 minute sneak peek video. I am incredibly happy that I got a videographer and so great duo that I was able to find Black Tie Video. They are an absolutely AMAZING company!

" wedding date :) When I first went to meet Jim, we ended up talking for over 2 hours and I knew we had our decision made! Then, during our planning and re-planning chaos, I asked Jim, "What is your perspective on a new date, a new location?" ... his first and immediate response was"Our perspective is that we are really excited to shoot your wedding and look forward to hearing the new plan as soon as you know." I doubt that many people will deal with some of the things we had to deal with, and I also doubt that too many people go looking for a videographer based on how they handle "jail time" and "tax fraud" being mixed in with wedding planning, but I have to include this information so you can really understand the full experience we had. I realized how important it was to truly LIKE the people you are working with, not just their work. I was so grateful that we had booked Black Tie Video and that they were so understanding, supportive, and patient when we were trying to figure out a new date, and a new location (even though it meant that they had obviously turned down many inquiries about our original date, and ended up being free after all!) So, with all of those added factors that we never could've planned for / hoped they would handle well ... we are also so happy with their professionalism and pleasant nature throughout the day. I always felt like it must be so strange to be followed with a video camera all day, but Barbara and Jim are so good about being in the background, sneaking around and catching great moments of the day. We have seen only our highlights so far, but I didn't want to wait to review any longer :) The highlight was amazing, and we received it THE NEXT DAY! (DISCLAIMER: We DID re-plan for FEBRUARY, when there are hardly no weddings, so I know this is not their norm, or anyone's, in terms of timing). If you're looking for videographers with personal care and investment in their work and the relationship with the couple, as well as a GREAT wedding video to hang onto forever, and a positive experience with planning and day of events, Black Tie Video is perfect for you :)

o capture all the important footage! At the reception, I barely even noticed he was there! He did an amazing job at staying out of the way, but yet still getting up close for all the best moments! Jim was so helpful along the way and he has created a video that we will forever have to remember our special day! I strongly recommend using Black Tie Video!

eally showed through in the final product and in the way they did things during the ceremony! I loved talking with Jim in general because he shared many pertinent tidbits related to his experience with videography and also with weddings in general, from making me feel relaxed and not worrying about the weather forecast to other helpful hints related to our day! The wedding ceremony was filled with fun, sincerity and love and Black Tie captured the emotions of the day perfectly! They also included some candid shots that made the video even more special! Professional and top notch!... I highly recommend Black Tie!!!!!! The wow factor of the video was A+ !!!!!!

! All of my email correspondence was with Jim (who also edited the video). Jim was quick to respond and speaking with him always left me with great confidence that the final product was going to be exactly what I wanted! I especially loved the highlight reel (which since it's short and filled with the most important moments has been watched a lot more than the full video). For this, I asked Jim if he could one song for the ceremony highlights and one for the reception. I was a little concerned that the transition between songs would be jarring but Jim was more than up for the challenge and it was perfect. After the full video was finalized, there were a lot of hiccups in the dvds getting to us that were not Black Tie Video's fault (for example, one was destroyed in transit by USPS) but Jim was patient, understanding, and quick to make everything better (he sent another dvd at no extra charge to us). In summary: Delightful people, wonderful product, amazing customer service.
