Chad was a joy to work with. He the hype man you never knew you needed! His work is fantastic. He sent us a sneak peek video within 24 hours of our wedding, and made sure to captur...
e all the fun moments of the entire day. I am so glad we added him to our special day!
Cannot recommend enough! From booking, to day of, to post wedding day, Chad made this process such a breeze. He made everyone feel comfortable day of and he worked so well with our...
photographer. I had a few requests and tweaks I wanted to make to the videos and Chad was so patient with me and did not hesitate to make the changes and made sure I was 100% happy before finalizing. Another big thing is the promptness, when you book with Chad, you can expect to receive very quick email responses and your wedding videos so fast! Everyone couldn't believe we had a trailer 3 days after our wedding day. Couldn't have asked for a better videographer. And of course, the finals videos were a dream!
Bower is the absolute best in the business!! They are definitely the best bang for your buck and they do amazing work! My fiance and I booked Chad for our original wedding date in ...
April 2020 which was rescheduled due to COVID. When we were looking for new dates last minute, we could count on Bower to be flexible because if Chad was booked, he had an amazing 2nd team ready to go! Chad and his team were so accommodating when it came to any of our requests. We were sad that many of our guests couldn't be a part of our big day so Bower's team set up a live stream for us! We couldn't be happier with all the videos we received from the live stream, to the getting ready teaser to 2 versions of our wedding video and our flash drive of the whole thing! The videos brought us all to tears and will be treasured forever.
Working with Chad was a dream!!! From the moment I booked with him until AFTER the wedding he was spot on. I was originally supposed to get married 3/28/20 but had to postpone (9/1...
8/20) due to covid. I called Chad less than two weeks before my original date and told him about the change of plans. This sort of situation was new for all of us and he handled it so professionally. I gave him a time frame of when I was planning to reschedule and he didn’t hesitate to give me the dates he was available and how we could work something out to still make sure my day was everything I wanted. If a vendor can make you feel so assured in the middle of a pandemic than I can only imagine what they would do for you any other time!! Chad was always there to answer my phone calls, texts, and emails whenever I had questions! He even kept in touch after the wedding on when I can expect my teasers and wedding video. He truly goes ABOVE & BEYOND! You can tell he really loves what he does and his work shows just that. Book with Bower Productions because I PROMISE you won’t regret it :) :)
Chad is the best! His team captured our special day beautifully, and we were so happy to watch our first preview video on our honeymoon thanks to their quick turnaround. Bower Prod...

It is so important to capture wedding day memories and Chad was amazing at doing a magical job! He arrived 3 hours early due to unexpected lockdown of our hotel near the Hard Rock...
Hotel demolition and started capturing the memories as soon as he arrived. The Wedding Teaser was released less than 2 days after the wedding. To top it off he is the kindest guy you will meet and worked very well with my daughter and son-in-law to capture all their special moments.
My husband surprised me with a videographer for our wedding day (and rehearsal dinner)... I could not have made a better choice myself! Chad was absolutely a joy to work with - so ...
creative, efficient and encouraging all day! He has such a quick turnaround for our "trailers" and that was so fun to relive it so quickly! I am so grateful we have all of the footage he provides to be able to relive it over and over for years to come!
Chad's videography skills are amazing. He was so kind and such a pleasure to work with. Chad had prepared us a sneak-peak version of our film in only 2 days and it was truly incred...

er the wedding. He has a very quick turn around. Throughout the wedding he was very non intrusive. You don't even realize he is there, but he is there capturing every detail and emotion perfectly. A videographer is a must have for a wedding and I highly recommend Chad.
Booking a videographer for your wedding seems like an expensive, unnecessary extra, but I’m telling you, it is NOT. There is nothing more special than being able to experience your...
big day over and over again through film. Chad and his team were a dream to work with. They know what they are doing. They know what shots to get, and they never made me feel stressed that they were going to miss a moment. And, they put it together even more perfectly than I imagined. I will treasure these moments on film forever — highly recommend!
Can’t brag about Chad enough! From our initial email and meeting to several weeks after our wedding, Chad has been a pleasure to work with! He was very considerate in making sure w...
e got exactly what we wanted in our videos and was so easy to work with day-of. He made everyone feel comfortable and let us be ourselves, which was huge for me, because I wanted our videos to be candid. We have gotten SO many compliments on our wedding videos, and I can’t lie, we probably watched them over 100 times the day we received them. Highly recommend booking Bower Productions for your wedding day!
We could not be happier with Bower Productions! Chad and his crew were extremely professional and did an incredible job capturing our wedding and reception. Chad made sure the who...
le process was stress free for my wife and I. One less thing to worry about is a big deal on such a momentous day! Our video truly shows the significance and love of our wedding day in the most tasteful way. It has brought everyone that watches it to tears. My wife and I keep watching it to relive the most special day of our lives. I would and will always recommend Bower Productions to all my friends and family!!
Working with Chad and Bower Productions is truly a dream. He is professional, flexible, and incredibly talented. Chad's videos capture the raw emotion of your special day--he just ...
has a sense for capturing moments that incapsulate you and your spouse. In fact, I wish I would have considered booking Bower Productions for videography and photography. This bride definitely recommends working with Bower Productions!
I cannot say enough good things about Chad and his team! From beginning to end, Chad was so kind, fun, and easy to work with. His videos were absolutely amazing and something I wi...
ll cherish forever! And it was so fun to get the first trailer video so soon after the wedding! If you are still looking for a videographer, I would highly recommend Bower Productions. You won’t regret it!
Bower Productions is by far the best choice I made for my wedding day! Chad is so kind and has the most pleasant and energetic soul! He captured every perfect moment of our rehears...
al dinner and wedding day while making everyone involved feel so comfortable during the process (sometimes giggling at each other over and over again to get the perfect shot is a little awkward, but not with Chad!)
We were most impressed with the finished product! Everyone- and when I say that I mean EVERYONE - was blown away with the quality of the wedding teaser (pre ceremony) and then could not stop talking about our wedding day video (capturing the ceremony and reception).
There are a lot of videographers out there to choose from, but I can’t say that any others come at Chad’s price with the same talent and experience!
The best part? Surrounding myself with the most pleasant and humble people on such a hectic and exciting day! That’s worth more than money can buy— thanks Chad and Bower Productions!!
Chad Bower of Bower Productions is a real stand out guy and has an artist’s eye for making stunningly beautiful movies! I was so thankful when I ran across his work because up unti...
l then I could not find a wedding video style that I wanted for my own video. Chad is so easy to communicate with, and after we spoke on the phone, I knew who our wedding videographer would be. He was just as great in person on our wedding day, and I couldn’t be happier with the shots he got and the finished products! Thank you, Bower Productions!
I cannot say enough how wonderful & easy it was to work with Chad. He shows great pride in his work, he is beyond accommodating, & so easy to work with! I’ve watched my videos at l...

I followed Chad's work for about a year before I got engaged, so when the time came to book a videographer, I had zero hesitations on booking Bower Productions! My fiance' and I bo...
oked him about a year and a half before our wedding date and he made everything such a smooth and stress-free process. I even waited until the day before to let him know my prep location (I definitely don't recommend doing this, but he is THAT easy to work with). As promised, we got a teaser video within 72 hours after our wedding and we were in awe! Our family members are still sharing and re-watching our teaser and trailer videos. And YES! You do watch your wedding video more than you think - 100% worth the investment! Book Bower Productions - You will NOT be disappointed!

Y’all need to book them now! Chad is incredible! We’ve only received our wedding teaser video (in only 72 hours!) and getting our “first look” on film paid for itself right there! ...
We are so grateful to Chad and his team for capturing such special and valuable memories on film, and we cannot wait to see the rest! Thank you Bower Productions!!
I don’t even know how to put in words how Bower Productions captured the most important day of my life. Chad was amazing!!! He captured so many views of our wedding that I couldn’t...
of imagined and did not expect. He captured the beauty of my special day from all views!! He consulted with me before hand on what I was looking for, but I told him to do what he does best and he delivered! I am so thankful I was able to have Chad be there on our special day 10/01/17! You’re amazing! Thank you so incredibly much!
From initial contact to after the wedding, Chad kept us well informed and delivered an incredible DVD that capture every touching moment. As the Father of the Bride, and having onl...
y one daughter, I had no clue what to do. Chad helped me.... a lot. He weaved his way through the Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding capturing moments that we forgot about. The DVD is simply awesome. We've watched it over 10 times in the past several months. Highly recommend Chad!!

Chad was great!! He captured all of the important moments as well as moments that I never got to see. The video is perfect! He is also extremely nice and professional.

ck on! His personality is amazing-he was always accesible if I had any questions before the wedding which made my life a ton easier and the day of the wedding he was phenomenal and had such a great attitude! I can say the same about his team as well, very professional! If you pick Chad Bower you will have no regrets and the quality of his videos are unmatched in my opinion! Thanks Chad for everything :)
Chad was absolutely amazing to work with. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. He not only filmed our wedding but also took my bridal pictures. He was always available to ...
answer all of my questions and made sure everything was going perfect on the big day! I can’t thank him enough. I will cherish my video and bridal pictures forever!! It’s amazing to watch the work he put into our special day.
Wow, where do I start? We are so happy we hired Bower Productions to video our wedding weekend. Chad is absolutely amazing. He captured every moment and detail, and made the most b...
eautiful compilation. We were hesitant at first to even get a videographer, but after many friends suggested that their only regret from their wedding was not hiring a videographer, we knew it was a must. And they were right! The day goes by so fast, you're overwhelmed with so many emotions to fully be in the moment, and you won't remember everything that happened that day. So I am so happy that I have everything on video and I can relive the day whenever/wherever I want. We chose the epic package and got the whole rehearsal on video, all of the speeches, full ceremony, dances, and even our welcome party the night before! Thank you so much Chad and Bower Productions for capturing this dreamy day! I am so thankful I found you!
Video was one of the most important aspects of our wedding for me. I wasn't looking for someone to just video our wedding and put it on a DVD, I was looking for someone who could s...
howcase the emotions of the day and turn it into visual art that is enjoyable to watch. Chad Bower did just that! Our wedding video is a perfect little movie that captures the excitement and happiness of our wedding day. I couldn't be more pleased about the final product and how amazing he was during the entire planning process leading up to and the day of our wedding.
After much debate, we decided to go with Bower Productions as our videographer. Chad and his team were so easy to work with, very responsive and attentive to what we wanted. The ...
video that they put together really captured everything we wanted it to. We could not have picked a better videographer.
First, let me start off by saying that I knew Chad would be perfect from our first email. He has that upbeat, friendly attitude that sets the mood you want on your big day. He is i...
ncredibly easy to work with and his skills speak for themselves.
My husband was at first unsure about having a videographer in the room as the guys got ready, by the end of the night, Chad was one of his favorite people! My husband and I love our wedding video. Chad did a wonderful job capturing each special moment. The music he chose for each scene was lovely. Even the case the DVDs came in was another cherry on top of the cake. Our case looked like a professional motion picture! I'm so glad that I chose Bower Productions for my videographer. I highly recommend the company to any bride or groom searching for someone to capture their special day!
So happy we chose Chad to capture our special day!!! He was amazing from start to finish!! We are so happy with our wedding video and he was such a pleasure to work with as well!!
MUST HAVE FOR YOUR WEDDING!! Chad Bower went above and beyond to make my day run smoothly. He was prompt and had a great personality which all of the family and bridal party loved....
He truly captured every moment of the big day and made sure I was up to date on the timeline of when all of the videos would be posted. The first video he posted went viral on Facebook and the teaser of the wedding was awesome and he surely didn't miss a beat! He portrayed how much fun we had on our wedding day which I'm so greatful for! I am SO glad we went with Bower Productions for the big day!
We decided pretty late in the game that we did in fact want a videographer. After A LOT of shopping around... we found Chad! And thank goodness we did. Chad was professional, respo...
nsive, prompt, and worked with me to ensure I was getting what I wanted out of a videography package! He was also lots of fun on the wedding day!! I have gotten so many compliments on both the professionalism of the videos he has sent us as well as how it just captures "us". I would recommend Chad over and over!!
Chad is the best! He is SO good at what he does, but is also so nice and easy to work with! I actually got a compliment from a friend of a friend about the amazing "cinematography"...
of my wedding video, I mean come on! The actual cases that the DVDs come in are also fabulous! Don't search any further, Chad is what's up!
Chad was excellent!! The customer service was wonderful and the video came out absolutely stunning. Chad and his crew did a great job capturing every moment while we didn't even ...
notice being filmed. Highly recommend for anyone looking to hire someone who is professional and easy to work with while delivering a superior product.
If you want the coolest, most creative, sweetest, easiest to work with videographer, look no further - Chad is your guy! I booked him early on because I know how popular he is. He ...
was a dream to work with and we absolutely love the outcome of all the amazing videos he created. Talented is an understatement! I can’t say enough wonderful things about Chad. His work and professionalism were above and beyond our expectations. Not to mention, all of your bridesmaids will have a crush on him because he’s so sweet and complimentary. He’s THE best videographer out there! And I can attest to that since I’ve been a bridesmaid 13 times :)
Working with Chad was awesome. He and his crew were very nice, attentive, professional, and he's very easy to work with. The videos Chad produced were outstanding and we got cons...
tant good feedback from friends and family about how good the videos came out. There's just not enough good things you can say about Bower Productions. Usually when you hire somebody for your wedding there's always that kind of fear of 'oh, I hope this turns out good' or 'I hope I made a good decision on this', but with Chad we didn't get that feeling at all. With Chad, I was always had the feeling of confidence that the video would come out very well. Every time he released us a teaser video we couldn't stop watching it and anticipated for when he would give us another teaser video. If anyone is on the fencing about booking Bower Productions, then you shouldn't be, you won't regret it.
My husband and I used Chad as our videographer for our wedding in August. I can't even begin to explain how awesome Chad was throughout our whole wedding experience. Chad was so ...
responsive and helpful every time I contacted him about a question. On our wedding day, he kept the wedding party on a tight schedule so we wouldn't be late to the church. Chad is also so talented, outgoing, and friendly especially when he was in his element shooting our wedding day. His two web trailers were finished extremely fast, but with the upmost quality. Our wedding video brought tears to our eyes as Chad captured all of the special moments on our wedding day and didn't miss a beat at our reception. I was so impressed with Chad's work and his continued professionalism. I have recommended Bower Productions to many of my friends and my sister will be using him for her wedding next year. I can't express enough how great he is! I highly recommend Bower Productions to shoot your wedding day!
There aren't enough stars to show how amazing Chad was throughout our entire wedding process! He was personable and reachable throughout and post our wedding year. He was focuse...
d and flexible yet laid back on the wedding day which helped to keep the house calm! He also was focused on his work and incorporated shooting all details that we asked to be included. The final product- well that speaks for itself.... beyond what we ever could have imagined! He is truly talented. You won't be disappointed with Bower Productions!
Chad was amazing! From the beginning, he was extremely helpful and easy to get in touch with. The day of the wedding he showed up on time and was a pleasure to work with! He made e...

There aren't enough wonderful things I can say about Chad and his work for our 11/5 wedding. Before the wedding, he was great about answering all of our questions and staying in to...
uch leading up to the big weekend. Day off, Chad and Alex were so easy to work with and made everyone feel so comfortable. Their energy was great and they were so personable. We got our web videos so quickly and just based on those, I could tell the final product would be amazing. Sure enough it was! Chad captured the essence of the day, all the feels, and so much more! We can't thank Bower Productions enough for giving us the gift of reliving the day and being able to share it with family that could not make the travel. I would give more stars if I could!!
If you are looking for a stellar videographer, go with Chad. He is WONDERFUL at what he does and he is so easy to work with. Videography was incredibly important to me (even more s...
o to my parents) and I knew I needed to find someone I could trust. Chad was helpful and quick to respond throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding he was flexible and very easy going. We already got our teaser video back and I watch it multiple times a day... I can't wait to see the full video because I know it will be perfect! Chad's work is fantastic and I am so thankful we used him to capture our big day!
