byDesign Photo + Films

f this company. I hope they stick around for a long time, because I definitely would like to use them again! High quality product at a VERY reasonable cost. Totally worth the investment!

hey were going to capture our special weekend exactly how we wanted it. Our wedding party mentioned over and over again how impressive the production value of our videography was. The videographers knew exactly how they wanted to shoot our event, and listened to all of our ideas and incorporated what was important us. Our byDesign coordinator, Vanessa Walden, was incredible in making sure that our video turned out exactly how we wanted it. We were stunned by how cinematic and beautiful our highlight film and full-length video were. During the entire process, she kept us in the loop, gave us a vast library of songs to choose from for our films, and most importantly, implemented any changes that we wanted to our films before we shared them with friends and family. Could not have been happier with our decision to have byDesign shoot our wedding!

d everything we were looking for for the most reasonable price. Though we never met in person until the day of the wedding, communication was so simple, easy, and quick. When we finally did meet our videographers the day of the wedding, they were very friendly and again easy to talk to and work with. They worked real well with our photographer which was so important because I know how it can be difficult when the two get in each other’s way. The videos were delivered in a timely manner and were better than we could have hoped for. Though behind the scenes it seemed like a chaotic day, the videos made it seem like everything was effortless and smooth. They captured all of the right moments and we look forward to looking back on this day years from now.

ings), and Brittany and the editing team were wonderful to work with from start to finish. Thank you for perfectly capturing our big day!

uring the moments that meant the most to us. He did not miss a beat capturing every meaningful event! He also told Savannah our video editor which songs meant something during our wedding day and she used them to create an amazing video. When I first found byDesign Vanessa, was the first person to reach out to me. She really cared about what my vision was for our wedding video and helped make it a reality! She did a wonderful job helping me plan the time line and make sure the video was exactly what I wanted! I was blown away by byDesign and I am so grateful they created such an amazing video for my husband and I to watch over and over again through the years to come! It really takes us back to how perfect our wedding day was! Thank you byDesign!!!!

of our day. And the finished video!! It’s breathtaking! I would highly recommend byDesign films to everyone!!

lad we chose ByDesign as our videographer.

e emotion of that day. That is exactly what we got! Brittany was great throughout the entire process. She was super responsive, and kept us updated with the process of our video. They even delivered on some requests we had after the video was made, like adding a shot of our elder grandparents. Thank you, byDesign! We feel so blessed to have been able to work with you, and we are so thrilled with the final product!

when the films were complete, everyone on the team was kind, responsive, helpful and professional. We cannot thank the team and especially Sherri for making this experience such an enjoyable one. I know our asks were extensive and our expectiations were high, but the team was BEYOND patient with us. Our hopes and expectations were fearfully high - I worried that no one would meet them. However, the film the ByDesign Films created not only meets but exceeded our expectations. I cannot put into words how thankful we are that we chose y'all to work with. The videos bring back so many amazing memories and bring tears to my eyes each time I watch them. They are absolutely beautiful. The music, the footage, the editing... its all perfect. I do not understand how the team was able to create a film that so accurately portrayed our love and our wedding day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating such a beautiful keepsake for my husband and me. We will forever be grateful for finding you.

th films. We're so glad we chose BDF and would recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional wedding videographer!

dget... then we happened to come across byDesign films (I may or may not have been still dreaming of our wedding video)... After a great email exchange with Zack and with only 3 months to go until our wedding, we found a way to make it work with his help. Once we confirmed, Zack put us in contact with Brittany who was SO AMAZING through the entire process. She emailed us back every time in what felt like mintues and was very communicative and helpful from day one. Fast forward to our perfect wedding day.. this amazing couple (Dakin and Laura) showed up to start filming. They never once made us feel awkward or uncomfortable, everything was so natural and FUN. The worst part about our whole experience was the anticipation waiting for our films to arrive, but even then, they came faster than expected!! Erica did our editing and took everything Laura and Dakin captured, and turned it into everything we dreamed of and more. The little details (like panning over our lost loved ones while the officiant is mentioning those we wish were here with us... or when my husband was talking about my smile in his vows and she put that over footage of me smiling while getting ready) it’s just perfect. It has been so special to be able to share with friends and family who were not able to make the trip; we can’t stop watching it and cannot wait to share with our future generations. In short- choose byDesign, you won’t regret it!!!

about exactly what our vision was and really worked with us during the editing time to produce a stunning video. The video looks like something straight out of Hollywood! Amazing.

re to work with after the fact in getting all the final details figured out. The whole team is very professional and the cinematographers are exceptionally talented. You won't be disappointed!

ensured all our important moments were included. The company has a graduated payment plan, requiring an initial deposit when the contract is signed and the balance due just prior to the event date. Overall, we had a great experience with each person on our byDesign Films team - they were professional, kind and great to work with. Our project coordinator, Sherri, worked with us throughout the entire process from the time we signed our contract leading up to our big day and after our wedding until video delivery. She was fantastic to work with, always answering our questions quickly, helping us prepare and document the “must have” shots for our Wedding and then guiding us through the video production and editing process after the big day. Once our video was completed, Sherri worked with the editing team to make a few adjustments to our final product to ensure everything was perfect! Our Videographer, Phillip, was fantastic! He arrived early, was very attentive and worked seamlessly with our photographer to get phenomenal footage of our wedding day. He captured all of our “must have” shots, as well as great footage throughout the day. The attention to detail paid off, giving us an amazing wedding video that we will cherish forever. The editing team did an amazing job on our short film. They narrowed about 8 hours of footage down to a series of beautiful moments that show our wedding story. The film truly is a piece of art! We cannot recommend this company enough - you will not be disappointed!

and patient. Awesome team, thank you, mad hour day very special.

ery little stress and the end product speaks for itself. Quality not quantity has never been more appropriate than when describing Bydesignfilms!

omething we'll treasure forever. Thank you!

tacular films, However the company and Vanessa were so understanding and helpful and everything has worked out for the best. They were truly the most accommodating and gracious individuals and anyone even remotely considering them should stop right now and book them!!

ND BEYOND to meet our needs and requests for our video to make it our dream come true. And last of all Matt (our videographer) - the shots he got were beyond breathtaking - our film truly looks like it came straight out of a movie. Thank you to the ByDesign Team for all your hard work on the Alexander film! We are in love and so thankful for you guys. :)

manager also keeps you updated and informed every step of the way. I can’t wait to see my final product of the whole day. So glad we made the decision to go with a video for our special day.

Films!

on site during the wedding day - everyone was so nice and easy to work with. The whole experience was fantastic, and the final films turned out better then we could have even hoped. We highly recommend ByDesign Films.

g, and after the wedding. We hardly knew they were there during the reception, and they made the editing process easy and really fun. The turnaround times were quick and they were able to translate our ideas into video- which is definitely not always easy! We absolutely love the final video (definitely recommend a short and long version). It has been a huge hit with family and friends as well! Thank you for everything byDesign team!

standing, but she was professional and polite to get this resolved. In the end I have nothing but good things to say about them.

edited seamlessly, I have zero complaints. They did a phenomenal job.

essional via email and in person. The crew at that attended the wedding were polite and blended in with the background of the day while still managing to capture all of the important moments. The quality of the film was great and the editing was beautiful. They even accommodated all of my nitpicky commentary making the final product exactly to my specifications. I am so thankful to have such a good memory of our wedding. Thanks byDesign and thanks Brittany!

ntire day! We loved the final product of our video and it truly enables us to relive the happiest day of our lives. We are so grateful we chose a company that is incredibly talented and listens to their clients to ensure they are 100% satisfied and the video is perfect. We couldn’t be happier!

budget but I was wrong! You can get everything you dreamed of at a reasonable price. I also want to comment on their prompt, clear, and friendly communication throughout the entife process. It is evident that they want to give you exactly what you want and they work patiently with you to deliver. There aren’t enough great things I can say about them and I am so happy that we invested in this beautiful film that will be forever ours!

p reading if you want to know why<<< I started out planning our wedding with no intent on hiring a videographer since I had a photographer already and thought having pictures were enough. Later, I was told by friends and family that, not having a video would be my biggest regret. I didnt want this to be the case, so I listened. I found ByDesign Films through the knot and did my research. their quality was phenomenal, the videos I watched of other couples, was like a movie. Each film told a different love story, I was amazed. As any bride though, I still had many fears about hiring them because at the time, that was a lot of money to invest in something that I wasn't planning on doing from the beginning. I also am used to the one on one person experience not a whole team. I was worried that with so many people working on my video, that it wouldn't be as personal... but boy, I was wrong! Once I inquired, the team embraced me and set up a phone call to discuss the wedding. They walked me though the steps and collections as well explaining what the team does. My Project Coordinator, never got annoyed at all of my many questions before and even after the wedding which was the BEST customer service. Im a person who knows exactly what I'm wanting, when it comes to the wedding indostry (since I'm a wedding photographer). Some vendors tend to get turned away by this and want to do their own thing at a wedding, but bydesign films listened to EXACTLY what I wanted and went beyond that. This made it so personal for Mike and I. Once we received our 3 Films I had the biggest smile ever and tears came out of my eyes. I LOVE the footage and how it was put into the film. Its like being able to be back at the wedding day and see so many memories of footage that I had already forgotten about before watching the film. We will now be able to have these for the rest of our lives. I am so blessed by the amazing team who made the films possible. For any brides or couples out there who don't know whether to hire a videographer, look no further than ByDesign Films. Let this review be enough, because this will be, one of the BEST investment you will make, on documenting your day and seeing the real footage of the love. You brides plan, plan, plan for many months. When the wedding day actually comes, it goes by so fast and most brides aren't able to take it all in. That was me, I was that bride. Now, words can't express enough how happy I am that our wedding was documented like a movie, and that we hired ByDesign Films. Many thanks to Sherri, Brittany , Eric and the whole team.

this company. I was completely blown away- the quality of their films is on a whole different level. It's movie quality. I was no less blown away with my own wedding film they produced, it is truly a masterpiece. My friends and family were in tears watching it. Working with the whole team before, during, and after my wedding was a dream. Brittany, the project manager, is super friendly, attentive, very detail-oriented, and always responded to my emails promptly. They also let you be as involved as you want in the production process, ie music selection, overall theme, scene additions/deletions. Also, on the day of my wedding, the videographers were great about being in the foreground and not detracting from any events. They were great working alongside my photographer, and were very easy going with any ideas we had. I really can't say enough great things about this company. If you can swing it, do it. You'll be so happy you did.

budget. The videographer showed up on time and was very professional, and captured every moment that we wanted him to. The final product was well done and made it able for us to relive our big day. Brittany R. was our rep, and she had wonderful customer service skills - even helping us purchase all of the raw footage of the wedding!

re important/meaningful for you to include in your video so communication during post-production is key to requesting the changes you want. The team was very accommodating and willing to get the films as close as possible to what you want. We focused on making changes to our highlight film because that's what we were sharing with friends/family and most likely to rewatch over and over again, so we left our full length alone, especially since making changes to it would've been an endless pursuit. The team, including the camera crew the day of, were very professional and easy to work with. Thanks ByDesign!

with. She was so professional and promptly responded to my emails as well and worked so hard to ensure that our video was 100% perfect for us. I did A LOT of research on videographers, and ByDesign is the best quality for the most reasonable price. My family and I are so happy with our film and we are so excited to be able to have this memory for the rest of our lives. If you are considering a videographer for your wedding, do yourself a favor and book with ByDesign! You will not be disappointed!

e my wedding film. I paid for extended time, upgraded cameras, two videographers and a drone and all I got was a few minutes of a highlight film. I did not receive my actual wedding video. They had no explanation as to why this had happened but I assume it’s because they hire freelance workers to capture their film. I will never be able to remake my day and not having that video I was promised is beyond devastating. I highly recommend you look elsewhere for your wedding day video needs. Extremely unprofessional, unreliable and heartbreaking.

us with the upmost respect and professionalism. We are beyond thrilled with the video that will always remind us of the happiest day of our lives.

ent. The samples ByDesign put up are nothing like what I hot back from them. My $100k wedding looks like somebody's sweet 16 in the video. I really want to ask why spent so much time on shooting the chairs??? Why not the flowers, guests or me the bride??? Maybe I should expect this when I saw the typo on ByDesin's price menu. I have only been frugal this once in my life, and I deeply regret it. ----------------- Edit of this review: After ByDesign has received my complaints, they have made great effort in re-editting my video. Though the end result is still not 100% perfect due to the lack of good original footage, I will still raise my review from 1 star to 3 stars in appreciation of their re-editting effort.

he wedding both videographers arrived on time were able to fit in seamlessly with the groom and bridal parties. We barely even noticed they were there! When the final product arrived, it was beautiful but we had some small editing requests. The ByDesign team, in particular Brittany Reichwald, were so accommodating and kindly made our requested changes with no issues at all. The video is seriously stunning and not at all cheesy or corny like a lot we had seen before with other companies. Would highly recommend this great company!

de us feel like we were the only clients they were working with. Working with them was so easy and they did everything they could to make sure that we got what we wanted in both our highlight film and full-length film. They exceeded our expectations in every way. Because of byDesign Films, we get to relive the best day of our lives and that is such a wonderful gift to us

ted. The video editing team did an outstanding job and really listened to what we wanted in our video. We would recommend them to anyone!

e everywhere at once, capturing all the special moments. We both really enjoyed working with ByDesigns and love the final product!

wer options when it comes to video. We browsed several of the vendors our coordinator suggested, and they all had a website with samples of their work. The initial quality of byDesign was a lot nicer than most of the others. We filled out the form form more info and quickly received a call from, looking back, the salesman. He told us, that unlike other videographers, they are cinematographers and approach the day artistically rather than a point and shoot. There were only a few packages available, with some add-ons. We chose the Complete Package + Aerial (Drone) Cinematography for $4750. After signing the contract, we were then handed off to a Project Manager to work out all of the details. Not much happened between the time we signed the contract to the wedding day. When the day came, there were 2 "cinematographers" and a drone operator on scene. Everything seemed to go ok, they mic'd me up with a wireless pack. I guess with the nature of videography (oops, "cinematography") they were certainly noticeable during the day. They 2 guys were nice though, one even helped lift me in the chair during the hora. Then we started to work on the deliverables. The highlight video was completed about 2 months later and the only thing we requested to change was to add more aerial stuff. For a 4 1/2 minute "film" we were happy and the quality pretty much matched what we saw online during our selection process. The process for the "full length film" (FLF) was an absolute nightmare... Our project manager sent us the 1st (of 6) FLFs about a week later and problems ensued. There is not enough space here to give a full rundown of the issues, so I'll give some lowlights: 1) THEY COMPLETELY MISSED GRANDMA DURING THE PROCESSIONAL 2) EVEN THOUGH I WAS MIC'D, MY VOWS WERE BARELY AUDIBLE 3) THE PROCESSIONAL WAS OUT OF ORDER UNTIL v6 4) MUSIC WAS MISSING AND/OR WAS WRONG 5) ONLY A FEW MINUTES OF GENERAL DANCING DURING THE RECEPTION. 6) LESS THAN 30 SECONDS FOR GRAND EXIT 8) PM LEFT COMPANY HALF-WAY THRU With each subsequent version of the full length film (FLF), it became more and more apparent that something was wrong. We would provide timestamps from the FLF of issues; they would fix "some" of them and glance over others. THEN WE LEARNED THE TRUTH... After months of back-and-forth requests/changes, with promises that they would be addressed/fixed, we started aggressively pressuring our (new) PM for weeks, then they finally admitted that there was no footage captured by "their" cinematographers. IT TOOK 3 MONTHS FOR THEM TO ADMIT THEY COMPLETELY MISSED CAPTURING KEY FOOTAGE!!! The PM's promised time and time again that they would fix the problems, even though they knew there was no footage to accommodate the requests. byDesign IS NOT IN CALIFORNIA (or any other city/state) they farm out the filming process to local persons with cameras. Those people then send the footage back to IDAHO for editing and composition. There is a complete disconnect between the filming and the editing process. Disappointed does not begin to describe working with byDesign, or the quality of the FLF, especially for the cost. We would've been better off if our guest's used their phones to "film" the day.

don't show up on our wedding, we'll get our money back but nothing more beyond that. A no-show event will be devastating to us and hearing that there is no extra penalty on them beyond giving us a refund unsettled me. We talked to them about our concerns and suggested some penalty on their part if they just fail to show up on the wedding day (this protection is provided by other vendors' contracts we have reviewed). Upon hearing our request, they terminated the negotiation. Another aspect of the disappointment with the company has to do with their staff making a misleading statement to me. To coax us into signing their one-sided contract, we were told (quoting their staff) "in the over 400 weddings we did in 2017, I am almost positive that we did not have one no-show!". But we've read at least one public review complaining about their no-show in 2017 (which review the Company did not dispute).

would recommend them per d over!! You won’t be disappointed!!

light film and full length film turned out. Photography is definitely a great way to look back and remember your wedding, but videography just makes you feel like you are reliving it. I cry every time I watch our highlight film! The team was absolutely amazing and so easy to work with. I was able to choose the music I wanted and explain which parts of the wedding I wanted included. They were truly amazing!!

Reichwald and Sherri Booth who were wonderful to work with on pre, during and post wedding/videography planning and also answering my questions within a day. I also want to say thank you to Ben and the 2nd videographer, both of whom, drove from Denver to Estes Park and were super friendly and captured the most beautiful moments of that day. Last, but not at all least, I would like to thank the editing and quality teams for their creativity in molding the footage into a heartwarming film. We will always be grateful to see our beloved family and friends sharing and enjoying that special day with us.

and managed.

orehand and after the wedding ensured that we got exactly what we wanted in everything from the content of footage to music. We will watch the highlight film as well as the full length over and over for years to come and we couldn't be happier with our choice to go with byDesign Films.

p of the way!

sional and prompt with communicating throughout the whole process. I can’t recommend them enough to capture the memories of your special day, so you can cherish them forever.

and their films were edited a cut above the rest, there is something truly beautiful about the way they capture not only the memories throughout the day but the feeling of the wedding day. I couldn’t be more happy with our choice to book them. Our wedding film is stunning and brought tears to our eyes. The film reflected everything we wanted and more. I had a few edit requests and they quickly made the requests happen! This is a film that can be shared with our family for generations to come. A special thank you to Rebecca, Sherri, our videographer Patrick, and the editing team for working so hard. ByDesign Films were my favorite vendor to work with because they made everything a breeze and I am so happy we chose them as our videographer.

g so professional and working with us to get the end we were looking for. Great work! highly recommend.

e when it came to any request we had!

great job and were very nice and professional. We can't wait to get our full film and raw footage :)

the very beginning, byDesign films was extremely accommodating with this unique request. Brittany was great at presenting the options and explainging every process along the way. Our videographers, Larry and Christopher, were very talented and professional. They embraced the surprise and operated under the disguise of photography students. I still can't believe how they captured every moment without drawing any attention. Months after our wedding, we were introduced to Vanessa who delivered our films. Vanessa & Brittany were truly amazing to work with, and made the surprise possible. As for the films: They look like Hollywood movies! Every aspect of these films was top notch. From the music, to the action shots, byDesign Films certainly delivered.

wedding was extremely professional- I never noticed he was there before and during the ceremony or during the reception. He blended in so well! When we got our video back, there were a few tweaks we wanted to make and Sherri and her team were so accommodating and receptive to our changes. Our video is something we'll cherish forever and I would absolutely recommend byDesign to any bride!

or revisions on our video, they were very quick to help us and make the changes. During our wedding day, the videographer was attentive but was just a shadow, we barely knew he was there. He worked really well with our photography (Hannah Mason Photography). We would definitely recommend byDesign if you want a very professional wedding video at an affordable price and a company that offers many options to fit your needs and budget.

them and they worked great with my photographer. I am so lucky I found them and highly recommend them if you are considering videography! Thanks so much XOXO!

of our day!
