My husband and I have so few words and yet so many after seeing the absolute wonder of our wedding album! Every time our screens light up with our new screensavers or we look at th...e picture frames on our shelf, we are transported back in such a visceral way.
From start to finish, Mike and Kristen were easy to work with. My husband, Dominick, and I were long-distance for our entire relationship, and searching for a photo-video team from 6,000 miles apart was not easy. Mike and Kristen, who split our timezones down the middle, were flexible and willing to work with our crazy time differences. They had Dominick laughing thirty seconds into the first call, and that's when I knew we wanted them capturing our wedding. Dominick hates being on camera, but with Mike and Kristen, the smile and laughter came naturally. They truly make you feel like you're talking to old friends. Mike and Kristen were our biggest fans, as well as the coaches in our corner.
They captured moments neither of us remember happening. They captured moments we wished we saw. They captured moments we only hoped were getting captured. The things we told ourselves to commit to memory for the rest of our lives, we forgot the next day. The things we never expected to hold onto remained in our minds vividly. When the album came in, everything, from the moments we wished we could recall to the ones we couldn't let go of, came rushing back. We poured wine, baked a pumpkin pie, lit a candle, and made a date of it. We laughed. We cried. We laughed again.
All of this to say, inviting Bokeh Film Studios into your wedding journey, next to marrying the person you love, will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding. Their artistic style stands out against a portfolio of wedding photographers who all seem to shoot the same way. Their attention to detail ensures everything you dream of having captured will be. They are professional, yet friendly - getting the job done and staying on task without sacrificing a positive and warm energy that keeps you and your bridal party relaxed and present.
To finish off, here are some quotes regarding Bokeh Film Studios' work, for your laugh and assurance that they are the team for you:
• While watching a video, a clip from one of Mike's stand-alone cameras cuts in, and you can see Mike adjusting a tripod. Dominick says, "Mike doing the Lord's work."
• "This sets the bar for our wedding video one day." ~ One Bridesmaid to Another
• "Not me finding their Instagram in order to figure out their travel limits, so I can get married within those limits and hire them one day." ~ Another Bridesmaid
• A GORGEOUS montage of moments from the Wedding Mass plays in the highlight reel. Dominick: "They understood the assignment."
• "This could win a film festival." ~ Me (And seriously, it could!)
• "Do you think they know they're artistic geniuses?" ~ Another Groomsman
• Re. the Photos: "I cannot believe how absolutely gorgeous the photos turned out to be. I've seen beautiful wedding albums, but this exceeds anything I could have anticipated." ~ Mother of the Groom
• Re. the Videos: "I can't even get through it. It's like he took the best moments from the day and managed to present them in this artistic way - I just cry. It's like reliving the day of the actual wedding. Every time, I'm moved to tears. I've yet to successfully watch the whole thing without sobbing tears of joy." ~ Mother of the Bride
We love Mike and Kristen, and we know you will too!
