Bride Film

I had Bride film for my wedding back in October & I highly recommend them to every bride/groom to be. MaryClare & Chris are amazing & so talented! Their filming is high quality and we received our videos quickly. They really pay attention to details. Memories fade but with Bride film you can relive your special day over & over again. Thank you!

If I could rate higher than a 5, I would. We added this on later in the planning process as we were going back and forth on whether or not we could fit it into our budget. BY FAR THE BEST DECISION THAT WE MADE. PERIOD. Chris and the team are so professional and they captured every single important element of our night as if we were directing them ourselves. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your talent, your eye and your skills. This is something that will travel with us for the rest of our lives and nothing short of perfection! https://vimeo.com/280616661

MaryClare and the bridefilm team made such a spectacular wedding video for us! We loved reliving our special night and couldn’t believe what a great job they did. They were so fun the entire weekend, making me laugh and relax. We received our video quickly within 3 months, and it was truly amazing. We got so many compliments and are so happy with the footage. We originally weren’t sure if we wanted a video of our wedding, and now it is our favorite memory of the night. We are so happy with our decision and hope to work with the team again in the future. They captured the entire night so perfectly and we will cherish our video for all the years to come! Thank y’all so much!!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Bride Film completely exceeded all of our expectations! We booked them for our rehearsal dinner and our wedding day and I am so glad we did. Our video is AMAZING! They captured every moment of our wedding weekend so perfectly! I've had SO many people tell me that our video is by far the best they have ever seen! Thank you Bride Film! We will treasure these memories forever!

WORTH EVERY PENNY. Our Wedding Video is incredible. It captured every moment from the night in such a fluid perfect story. I must have watched my film 500 times in the past 3 days. I have gotten several calls from friends/family commenting that they have never seen a wedding video that good! HIGHLY RECOMMEND :)

Words cannot express how much we love our Bride Film! We are obsessed and it's something we will cherish forever! Our rehearsal dinner, prep, ceremony and reception were captured perfectly, and we truly could not have asked for more. MaryClare and Janice were so fun and easy to work with, made us feel extremely comfortable and did an amazing job editing the film in such a perfect way! It's so special to be able to relive your wedding day through their films and we highly recommend you book them for yours- you won't regret it! Most talented videographers in NOLA

We simply can't say enough overwhelmingly positive things about BrideFilm, MaryClare and Chris as well as the rest of their team! They are truly the most talented in the industry, in addition to being such kind people! The investment we made with them is without a doubt worth every penny and more, and we enthusiastically give them the very highest level of praise and endorsement possible! Dale and I are so grateful that we have been blessed with this unexpected gift of love and companionship and were so happy to celebrate with so many loved ones on our special day. It made perfect sense to us to recruit the help of BrideFilm to capture our day in such a special way. MaryClare and Chris blended right in with our families, friends and throughout all the events of the day and captured everything so beautifully. At times we could barely tell they were there due to the fact that they are so discreet about their filming....this takes real talent! Our only regret is that we didn't get to spend more time with them on our day because they were working so hard behind the camera to capture every moment so beautifully! They have become part of our family and we can't wait to watch all of their future work as it's just so beautiful and creative. Bravo BrideFilm, MaryClare, Chris, and BrideFilm's entire team! We will cherish these memories you captured so magnificently for the rest of our lives. Can we be the President and VP of the BrideFilm fan club?! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Holly & Dale Misiek

I was not planning on getting a videographer for our wedding, but I am extremely glad we did. I am thrilled with Bride Film's work and love the options on the link we got for our wedding footage. We can see our trailer, edited versions of our first look, ceremony, and first dances, and raw footage of the entire reception. The only thing I regret from our wedding is not having Bride Film at our rehearsal dinner to capture the speeches on film. I highly recommend Bride Film! They are the best in NOLA!

Highly recommend!! My video was absolutely perfect!!! Worth every penny! So glad I went with them

Words cannot describe how amazing Bride Film is. Our video captured every perfect moment of our wedding and made it even more magical. They are incredibly talented and such a joy to work with. We kept wavering on if we should have a videographer and decided last minute. MaryClaire was so gracious with us even though we booked the week of. Words just cannot describe what an amazing job they do! Booking Bride Film is the smartest thing you can do for your wedding! Below is the link to our wedding video. https://vimeo.com/165491412

Bride Film did an amazing job!!!! They completely blew away our expectations and were fabulous to work with. I'm so glad we did added a videographer onto our original plan... worth every penny!

Echoing the sentiments of many brides before, I was unconvinced I needed a videographer. My sisters implored me, however, and in the ninth hour, I found BrideFilm. I am so grateful for the beautiful work they did. From my very first correspondence with them, they were unwaiveringly professional- Chris called me in a timely manner and addressed all my questions/concerns and his website provided a comprehensive showcase of his and his own love's work (they are a husband/wife team- keepin in the fam!). On the day of the wedding, he was a quiet, calming presence, able to capture the more candid moments between me and my husband that may have been forever lost had he not been there. Most importantly, though, the TRAILER. It is invaluable. Their editing and song choice captured the mood of our wedding and puts me right back there when I watch it. It has moments I had no idea he was present for (he is stealth!). The quality of the work is so high that I have had friends who are professional editors demand to know who made it. Simply one of the best investments we could have made. --Jacqueline and Michael

MaryClare and Chris were a joy to work with. Not only is everyone that has seen the video and trailer they produced STILL raving about it (the quality and production was out of this world), they were incredibly professional, upbeat, and easy to work with. I originally was not keen on having a videographer, but after my now-husband's persistence, I will say that that might be the best decision we made. We cannot stop watching the videos! They truly made our wedding weekend spectacular and truly magical.

We are so happy that we chose Bride Film to document our day. Working with them was effortless. We hardly even noticed that they were there on the day of our wedding, but the were able to capture so many moments that we never knew about. We watch our Bride Film trailer pretty regularly. It is such a great reminder for us to look back on our wedding day. We feel like they captured our personalities and our story perfectly within 4:30 minutes. All of our family and friends are very impressed as well. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a high quality feature film to remind them of their wedding day.

The Bridefilm crew are absolutely brilliant at what they do. Their work stood out to me above anyone else I looked at for my wedding. Their thoughtful consideration of what moments were most important to us as well as their artistic vision blew us away! I am so utterly happy to have such a wonderful day captured so perfectly. They were also such wonderful and professional people! I will recommend them to anyone and everyone I know!

WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! I can not get over what an amazing job Chris & his team did on our video!! Truly unbelievable! Do yourself a favor & book these guys! It was one of the best investments we made in our wedding! The product speaks for itself... Check it out!! https://vimeo.com/143268666

I cannot give Bridefilm a better recommendation!! They were WONDERFUL!! I had a destination wedding, and MaryClare and Joe spent 3 days with us in Mexico. They fit right in with everyone and made everyone feel so comfortable around the cameras. Honestly, I forgot the cameras were even there. Not only were they enjoyable to work with, the final product was beyond expectation (and we had high expectations)! Plus Joe used a drone to get incredible aerial footage! Bridefilm was able to document all the emotions, events, and memories of the week and the wedding day and create something that expressed them so much better than we would have ever been able to describe to people. While we may be biased about our wedding video being the best we have ever seen, our friends and family have been saying it really is the best they have ever seen!

Hiring Bride Film was the BEST decision of our wedding! We cherish our video and are able to relive our wedding day all of the time. Both of my sisters have since hired them to film their weddings as well, and they are beyond happy with their films. The Bride Film team created unique videos for each of us, capturing our love, while maintaining the same professional, high quality product. Our special memories are preserved for generations to come! The team was so easy to work with throughout the entire wedding process...from the early planning stages, to after the wedding, Bride Film was always quick to respond and helpful in navigating the sometimes overwhelming wedding world. Your wedding will go by so fast (I barely remembered any of it until I watched my film!), so I highly recommend hiring Bride Film to guarantee you remember the small moments you didn't even know happened.

https://vimeo.com/120637147 Above is the link to the video that Bride Film made of our wedding. I'm starting with this because it speaks volumes of MaryClare and Chris' incredible talent and skill as videographers; it is the type of skill that I do not think I could ever adequately put into words. The entire process of working with Bride Film was absolutely flawless. Each response to any and every question I had was answered quickly, professionally, and with a personal touch that truly made me feel that Bride Film was wholeheartedly invested in making our wedding day perfect. MaryClare and Chris brought a sense of calm to the wedding day that I am forever grateful for and were able to capture some of the most intimate, special moments of our day without ever being intrusive or demanding of our time. People say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, Bride Film's videos are worth more than words. They capture emotion, words, smiles, laughs, and so much more. Without hesitation I would recommend Bride Film to any bride looking for a way to savor one of the best days of her life. Thank you so much MaryClare and Chris. Ya'll are simply the best.

The talent that Chris and his associates have is amazing. They used it to capture the beautiful memories of our wedding day. I really enjoyed getting to see my husband getting dressed, opening his letter from me and walking down the isle, which is something most brides will never see. Our family members still shead a tear when watching the trailer. We are so happy to have had them as part of our wedding and are forever greatful for the memories they have given us. we cannot thank them enough!!

This is your videographer! Just watching the preview trailer made me cry! They captured every moment beautifully! I don't even remember seeing them much, so that goes to show you the talent behind the lens. They can get all the important moments without being in your face. Highly recommend!! Look at my wedding trailer Jessica and Jose for proof! Amazing work!

A glowing review for Chris and his team at Bride Film. They exceeded our expectations. The images they captured from my daughter's wedding on 5/2/15 take me right back to that beautiful day, and continue to make me cry and laugh, each time I watch the footage. They have given us the ability to hold on to all of the special moments that rushed by much too quickly the day of the wedding. And they were unobtrusive and gracious throughout. The did a beautiful job, and I couldn't be happier with the results.

YOU CAN'T DO BETTER THAN BRIDEFILM! Let me just start by saying that Bridefilm has been on my radar for YEARS as the people I wanted to shoot my wedding one day-- I had seen numerous amazing videos, and I personally knew many of the people that had used them and were VERY happy with them as well. With that being said, I was so blessed with being able to book Chris (and his wife MaryClare) for our special day since I planned my wedding in 8 months! I thought that they would surely be booked, but after calling "just to check", Chris immediately helped me book as well as helped me through the process of deciding which package would be best for our day as well as what we, as a couple, pictured for the end product! I COULDN'T HAVE CHOSEN ANYONE MORE PERFECT TO CAPTURE OUR SPECIAL DAY as a whole AND each of the wonderful details I worked so hard to plan (decor, guests, etc)!! We loved being able to see a clip on Instagram from our gift exchange- that was an amazing sneak peak for me and my new husband to share! THEY WERE VERY INVOLVED WITHOUT BEING INVASIVE!!! I loved that I barely knew they were getting the fun/goofy/quiet moments, because they never interrupted or took away from the night with massive lights and being in our faces all night (like I have sometimes seen in other vendors). They caught EVERYTHING without taking away from the importance and fun of the night. They did great with all of the MANY family members and WERE ALWAYS POLITE, CONSIDERATE, AND PROFESSIONAL to guests and other vendors! THEY WERE GREAT TO WORK WITH AT EVERY TURN-- they were a plethora of things for us: ****SUPPORTIVE during decision making as well as during the wedding day chaos (everyone has this- lol). ****CREATIVE but in the realm that fit our taste and style (as well as their artistic abilities) ****HELPFUL during the entire wedding day- to capture all the details without getting in the way of the fun! ****CARING about us and what we wanted out of our day as well as our video. ****FUN and light-hearted during our first initial meeting through to the end of the night. *****PROFESSIONAL at every meeting, with every phone call/email, and throughout the wedding day! I wanted a laid back, fun, memorable day.....and that is EXACTLY what they helped me to accomplish! THANKS TO BRIDEFILM, the day was absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chris (and of course, MaryClare) were such a large part of making everything run smoothly and effortlessly. Without their planning in advance, meeting with us in person months in advance, helping us plan over the phone/email, and getting to know us as individuals as well as a couple, this day and the video wouldn't have been the same. They gave 110% in everything they did, and they truly made us feel super comfortable and cared for throughout the entire process. I couldn't thank them enough!!!!!

We received our wedding trailer the other day and I'm speechless! It is incredible!! I have to admit, I wasn't sure about having a videographer. I didn't think I wanted to see myself on video and thought I would never watch it, but I'm so happy my new mother in law insisted. We haven't watched the entire video yet (we will soon!! promise!!), but honestly, the trailer by itself was more than worth it!! Tip #1: Hire a videographer Tip #2: Hire these guys, they know what they are doing!!

I have no doubt that Bride Film was the right choice for our wedding. Their work is just beautiful. You hardly even knew they were there videoing you but they seemed to capture everything! Chris is amazing and I would recommend them to anyone for any occasion! So worth the extra money!

We hired Bride Film as the videographer for our November 2014 wedding and just received our Bride Film trailer. I was blown away by the beautiful storytelling style as well as the quality of the film. Everyone who has seen the film tears up when they watch it. It truly captured every special moment of our big day and wrapped it up in one little video. I have already watched it countless times and I can't get enough. I know we will cherish this wedding video for years to come! Bride Film is not the cheapest option, but their professional demeanor, high quality and the overall experience received was well worth the investment. Thank you Bride Film!

As an out of town bride I wasn't able to meet the people at Bride Films before my wedding. (I dealt with Chris throughout the process.) We spoke over the phone & email, he was very quick & helpful in both ways. I found out about Bride Films from the recommendation of my photographer - Elizabeth Ray (Eray). After viewing trailers for other weddings on their website I decided to book them. I love their documentary style. One thing I requested of them was to not be too "in the way" during the wedding. I hate going to other weddings and the videographer is blocking all the good views. I wanted them to be a fly on the wall and that's exactly what I got. :) They are also flexible with a payment plan which I appreciated! The only negative I would mention is that I spoke with Chris the entire year leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day he wasn't there. Two women came instead, which is totally fine I just wish I would have received a heads up about that beforehand. (He may have been there for part of the reception but never introduced himself) The artistry and final footage were great and I would recommend them to any bride! Here is the trailer link to our wedding: https://vimeo.com/109164634

Chris and MaryClare! We love you guys! Thank you so much for your fun, outgoing demeanor and your capable, can-do attitude! We appreciate you, your time, hard work and talent! And couldn't be happier with our choice to hire you! Thank you for covering our engagement session, rehearsal dinner, and our wedding day! We've seen first hand what you can do, and we can't wait to see the magic you create next! EEEeeee! :) Love, Mandy and Bob

Hi guys, the Bride Film team was extremely professional and easy to deal with, both on the day and leading up to the event. The wedding video they created was fantastic. My wife couldn't believe how beautifully shot it was. Couldn't recommend them more highly for anyone looking for a videographer.

They did an amazing job capturing the unforgettable moments of my son's and his wife's special day. Chris and MaryClare were both very helpful to me when making decisions. The video was beautiful and it helped me recapture the emotions I felt on the day of the wedding. It is clear they love what they do. I have recommended them to friends and will continue do so. Truly professional quality.

Bride Film did my sister's wedding so I knew the quality would be outstanding! They are a real pleasure to work with and take pride in their work. I was super happy they made the trip down to Baton Rouge so I wouldn't have to settle for anyone else :) I couldn't recommend them enough!

Chris and his team were amazing! They were easy to reach during the planning phase which is super important to any bride!! It was an absolute pleasure working with them before the wedding and during the wedding. I truly believe their work is definitely one of a kind!! I know our video will be so magical--I cannot wait :) I highly recommend these guys!!

I kept going back and forth on getting a videographer. Which is ironic now because it is probably my favorite thing from the wedding. So much time and energy goes into planning a wedding and it is over in a blink. There is so much I forgot/missed from the wedding it was great to be able to see it. I picked BrideFilm from looking at all their videos online. I loved their style of editing. After he introduced himself at the wedding, I didn't see him again. It was awesome because i feel like he captured our wedding in a very real way. I love BrideFilm and if I had to do over, I would pick them again in a heartbeat.

Chris and MaryClaire were great to work with. They were flexible when it came to having to change our date early on and I am glad they were. We were recommended to them by another couple and I will continue to recommend them to others. The work they produce is beautiful. There were specific moments that I wanted them to capture and they made sure to capture them all. https://vimeo.com/92289087?utm_source=email&utm_medium=clip-transcode_complete-finished-20120100&utm_campaign=7701&email_id=Y2xpcF90cmFuc2NvZGVkfGNiOGQxN2QyMDNhN2E4MWUxNTRlMmQ5MDExNWMwMTVkNDd8NjgzNjUyfDEzOTc3Nzk0Nzh8NzcwMQ%3D%3D

I highly recommend Bride Film to any couple looking to have a phenomenal wedding keepsake to cherish for years to come. My husband and I couldn't be happier with the service and final product. Bride Film is not only a professional group of people, but they are the most congenially talented videographers out there. We live in Ohio and had a New Orleans destination wedding in June, 2013. Bride Film worked with us every step of the way via phone calls, emails and even included meeting us out for lunch on one of our visits down in the New Orleans area to get a better feel for who we are and exactly what we were looking for in our product. There was no stone left unturned. Yes, for some of us looking to minimize costs on their overall wedding budget Bride Film may seem a bit more pricey in comparison to other vendors. However, the investment is worth every penny. As a means to accommodate every couple, Bride Film does offer a few differently priced packages to choose from. We chose the package that best suited our needs and are so very happy with our film. Everyone at Bride Film loves what they do and they take their time to get to know you as a couple so your film is a reflection of who you and your husband truly are. Bride Film doesn't simply provide you with a wedding video, they tell your love story through the camera lens. The level of care and pride they put into the filmmaking process is unparalleled. If you're looking for professionalism, quality, talent, and the very best videographers available, then look no further. Please take my advice and don't let the opportunity to work with such an amazing group of extremely talented people on your special day pass you by.

We are New Yorkers who got married in the Big Easy in March. We also can’t believe how quickly the time has gone by! We meant to review Bridefilm months ago but the wedding was followed by lots of (good) craziness! Bridefilm was excellent, simply put. Chris and MaryClaire were on time, professional, organized, and were a well oiled machine. They gave us direction when we needed it, and quietly faded into the backdrop. This being said, they captured every moment with such color, and intimacy, and the night was perfectly recorded. It also helped that they were genuine, likable, and it really did feel like their priority was right there with my husband and I. They worked beautifully with our photographer, and the other vendors. Our family and friends also spoke highly of them. We highly recommend Bridefilm and know other couples with find the experience just as wonderful as we did. P.S. - Our local jeweler here in Upstate NY (where we bought our wedding bands engagement ring) saw the video that Bridefilm did of our wedding, and actually asked to use the footage in a commercial for his store! Chris was amazing in getting us the extra footage and facilitating this for us, and it's so exciting to see our amazing wedding, and their great video on TV. Thanks again Chris!

We had our wedding Jan 2013, with Bridefilm performing the videography. We live out of town, but it was easy to coordinate with over the phone/e-mail. Day of Bridefilm was prompt, professional and great to work with. It was great having 2 videographers to simultaneously capture 1) bridal and groom prep and 2) forward looking and backward looking shots during ceremony/reception. The final deliverables were beautiful - happy with full-length videography and trailer. Highly recommend!

My wedding was in March 2012, and I did not receive my DVD until almost a year later, February 2013. This was after many emails and messages. However, my main issue is that the end product did not reflect BF's reputation and price--some of the editing choices were poor (long shots of people's feet or the buffet table) and important footage was not included. Also the owner, Chris, was not there himself to video my wedding, it was two of his other videographers. Unfortunately, I fainted at my ceremony and did not recover until close to the end of the reception. Luckily I did have a first dance, and was feeling well enough to return for the end of the reception and was able to dance and even get on stage with my husband and the band. We extended the reception an hour and all of our other vendors stayed without a problem. Bride Film left before the end without telling anyone, and I only discovered this after seeing my reception footage, which did not include us dancing at the end or on stage, it only shows 4 minutes of me seated at the end of the reception (two minutes from one angle, and two minutes from another to make the footage look longer perhaps). I let Bride Film know my concerns and it took them 3 months to respond in an impolite manner without any apology or solution. I was told they came 30 minutes early (which we never asked) and stayed 30 minutes later (which if they did I am not sure why I am only in 4 minutes of film, and why if the reception was still going they left without saying anything or didn't ask for more money if that was the issue). I am not one to complain or write negative reviews, but this has hurt me and I don't want anyone else to be stuck in this position. I know many people are happy with BF's work and I have a unique situation, but I just want others to be cautious in hiring BF for their wedding as its a day you never get back!

Upon sharing this with a friend (and a guest of our wedding), I received this review, "That was AMAZING. I seriously laughed and cried watching it." Now multiply that by a few zillion if you are the bride or groom. We had not intended on going with a videographer, but my now MIL encouraged us to find one, and boy howdy, I am glad we did. You put so much thought, planning and well way too much thought into this one (albeit profound) day, and then whoosh it's over and it fades faster than Harry's consciousness when he meets a dementor. When we saw the care and talent poured into our wedding trailer, it all came back, complete with sweet dance moves and our Priest's sermon on Spiderman. It was absolutely perfect. Ladies & Gents, I know you want to save where you can save, but trust me, you'll want to remember this day and you'll want to share it with your kids, or your dogs, whatever. Chris with BrideFilm is a complete professional, and a darn talented one at that. His editing prowess combined with his gentlemanly ways will conspire to create an awesome keepsake that you will treasure for ever and ever.

My wedding was this past Friday and I chose BrideFilm to do my video. I was really impressed with the videos I saw on their website. It was so different from what I had seen before. Both videographers were really nice. They captured our day without being in our faces. I'm confident they did a great job and I cannot wait to see the finished product. I highly recommend BrideFilm! They were professional, easy to work with and down to earth.

Nice but never spoke to me

Bride Film was awesome! Very professional. Chris and MaryClare are super nice and easy to work with. The quality of their video is great and finished product beautiful! Highly recommend!

Chris and the team at Bride Film did the videography for my wedding in July. To say that I was impressed with their work is an understatement, Chris and the team at Bride Film captured every special moment of the day and remained completely professional. Since my husband and I did our reception at a film center, they were able to do a same day edit on our wedding video and everyone was able to view it. Chris and his team have a love for videography that is displayed in the work they do. I have already recommended Bride Film to friends that our getting married and would recommend them to anyone else looking to get an amazing video to capture their special day.

For awhile I didn't think we wanted or needed a videographer. Most of the videos out there left much to be desired, but then I found Chris with bride film. His work truly captured the beauty of the day with the utmost quality. I fell in love with his work and had to sign him. Our expectations were far exceeded on the day of our wedding and after. Our wedding trailer was a same day edit done free of charge. Great quality, great service, great price....We love Bride Film!

We came very close to not hiring Bride Film. My husband was dead set against it. I booked Bride Film during one of his weaker moments! His big concern was that the photographer and videographers would be in the middle of everything. While I loved my photograher, he was definitely in the middle of everything. i can honestly say that I noticed Dan and Pauline twice during the reception and wedding. Both times it was because Dan spoke directly to me. I have seen two videos so far. We were surprised at some of the shots that they got. They positioned themselves really well through out. The videos themselves were absolutely beautiful. I know that we will watch them often. They are far from the VHS versions that most of my friends have. Most importantly, the reluctant groom was happy with the results.
