My husband and I booked with Ryan. From the beginning, Ryan was very easy to work with and also responded to all the questions I had!
On the day of, Ryan and his team was very punctual. He made sure everyone in my wedding party felt comfortable. It was wonderful working with them!!
Will highly recommend them to my friends and family.
Ryan helped capture the most important day of our lives the way we envisioned from start to finish. He's professional, friendly and easy to work with. Before you book he tries to get a holistic understanding of what you're looking for and immediately you feel confident that he can deliver. We got so lucky to have had him available on our big day and his final product did not disappoint! He finds the right vibe and music to fit you to the tee! Highly recommend!!
We had a mini wedding during COVID, which in itself is really difficult, but the video that Cotton Love Studios curated made it seem so easy - which is a really, really good thing! Ryan and his team helped make us feel comfortable and less anxious in front of the lens, and the video reflected this. The video came out wonderful and I would definitely recommend Ryan and his team for your cinematography needs :)
Absolutely loved working with Ryan for our small, pandemic wedding. He was able to capture all of the moments that we wanted to share with our families, who couldn't be there with us. He was super easy to communicate with (we had originally hired someone else who was the WORST about getting back to us, and when I reached out to Ryan he was AMAZING on the phone and I knew right away that we had to switch to him). On the day, he was early and ready to roll right away. His partner Jessica (who also happens to be his fiancé, congrats!) was also lovely and it was nice to have a female touch to help me here and there while I was getting dressed. The final video came out wonderfully and he was excellent about doing small edits that I requested. Our families loved it!! I could not recommend him more highly!!! A great price for great quality.
We're so glad we got Ryan and his team to videography our wedding day! From the beginning to the day before the wedding, Ryan responded all my emails quickly. During our first meeting, Ryan came up with ideas with what we wanted. We knew he was very passion and really put us and what we wanted first. We knew instantly that we need to have him on our day! We booked him so far in advanced, that when it's near the wedding, we had to make a few adjustments. Ryan was fine with it and was able to find another helper on the day of the wedding! On the morning of the wedding, Ryan and his team showed up and was ready for action. They made us all feel at ease. Our bridal party kept saying how they felt so relaxed and didn't feel tired at all. Ryan was so sweet and worked so well with my photographer! He is just that type of person. At the end of the night, we knew we didn't go wrong with having Cotton Love Studios! We can't wait until we see the final product! Thank you - Ryan, Chris, and Wen!
Cotton Love Studios captured our wedding, and did an amazing job! At first, we were hesitant on getting a videographer, but Ryan’s work was well worth the price! Watching our highlight video and raw footage brought us right back to the day of!
We could tell that Ryan capture as many viewpoints as possible, including our first dance, speeches, vows, sparklers, and many more, and overall, he did an amazing job. We couldn’t be happier! Ryan is incredibly talented, and captured every moment that made our wedding perfect, from the ceremony through the reception.
We were so glad we went with Cotton Love Studios for our wedding. Thank you, Ryan!
Cotton Love team were so friendly and chill throughout our day. They were fun, patient, and know what they want to capture that best fits the couple. I enjoyed working with them!
When it was time choose a wedding photo-videographer, Cotton Love Studios came highly recommended by other couples who have used Cotton Love in the past. After browsing their work, we knew they would be perfect.
Even before we officially booked them, my fiancé and I already got a sense of how easy it would be to work with Ryan and his team. They were quick to respond to any questions we had, their contract was easy and straightforward, and we knew exactly what services we were going to get and the exact cost. Working with Ryan prior to our wedding date, we immediately knew we could trust him. This was so important to us! Each of his team members are incredibly talented and coordinated with each other flawlessly to get the perfect shots on the day-of. They made us feel comfortable standing in front of the camera and taking their directions. I often forgot they were filming!
Looking back on our wedding, our experience with Cotton Love was definitely one of the highlights of the day. Ryan has given us a sneak peak of some of the photos and we couldn’t be happier at how they turned out. We received the video this week and it was absolutely perfect.
Choosing Cotton Love was one of the easiest choices we made for our wedding. They are incredible at what they do, they treat you like family, and they work hard to perfect every small detail. We absolutely love our photos and video. Thank you, Ryan, Sharon, Wen and Kelly for documenting our wedding day so beautifully.
I was referred to Cotton Love Studios by my photographer Herman Au. I had been in previous bridal parties where we had to recreate the shots many times and found this quite annoying because it was inconvenient and it just takes away from the moment. I was reassured that wouldn't be the case. On the day of, I almost didn't notice that the crew was filming. They didn't ask me to re-shoot anything and they were very professional and punctual. I received my highlight video a month after my wedding and was very happy with the result. From the editing to the moments that were captured I felt that everything was perfect. Sharon made the video personal to us by asking us for our input before putting the video together. My partner and I highly recommend this company. Communication is so important during wedding planning and they were always quick to respond.
Ryan from Cotton Love is the absolute BEST! Cotton love studios is the best team of videographers around - they are so kind, so humble, and so easy to work with. I chose their services because my sister recommended them - my husband and I were so glad we listened! We were overjoyed with our highlight video. We absolutely loved working with them, the choice of music and his selection of the clips from our wedding. On our special day, he let us we true to ourselves and everything seemed natural. When we were able to share our video with our family, it brought tears to their eyes and we are so glad that we now have this video to remind us forever of God's great gift of marriage! Forever grateful. Thank you Cotton love!
Hiring a videographer for a wedding can be difficult. However, once we stumbled upon Cotton Love's wedding highlight films - we knew that we didn't to look any further!
Before we had even committed to hiring Cotton Love to film our wedding, Ryan wanted to sit down and talk with us about our vision for our wedding and just get to know us. This was definitely not necessary, but we really appreciated it a lot.
Ryan was very good with staying in touch with us prior to the wedding. On the wedding day, Ryan and his team were so awesome to work with! We did not realize how important it was to have fun and understanding vendors at a wedding until we experienced it for ourselves. Ryan was very good at being "non-invasive" throughout the wedding day, getting most of his shots candidly. Ryan and his team worked very well with our other vendors (photographers, wedding coordinators, etc.) As a result, our portrait time was very seamless between photography and videography. We really appreciated this, as many of our friends have talked about how their wedding videographer's wanted so many staged shots, which really took away from relishing in the special moments throughout the wedding day.
After the wedding, Ryan was very good at keeping us in the loop regarding the editing process and always promptly responded to my questions/concerns via e-mail. I cannot stress it enough how accommodating Ryan was throughout the whole editing process. He honored all of our requests regarding certain clips we wanted to include, etc. Furthermore, we really appreciated how Ryan did not settle or compromise on the final highlight film. He went through three separate edits until he finally arrived at a finished product that met his standard - and surpassed ours! We had given Ryan a song recommendation for the highlight film, which he tried to make work but he did not believe it truly encapsulated our day. We really appreciated that he was willing to make the effort regarding our requests, but in the end we totally agree with the route he took for the song selection.
All in all, we cannot recommend Cotton Love enough! Ryan and his team went above and beyond - really taking each and every one of our considerations and requests seriously and truly surprised us by their willingness to accommodate us and giving us a wedding highlight film that we will surely enjoy for the many years to come!
Wow - I first stumbled upon Cotton Love Studios when I saw some of the work they did for an acquaintance. I immediately knew I had to book them for my own wedding. Ryan is such a pleasure to work with - he's patient, understanding, and accommodating. He gave us a lot of advice and suggestions on how to prepare for the day when meeting in person and over e-mail. On the actual day, he was very professional along with his assistant, Wen, and kept me calm throughout the day, allowing perfect moments to be captured for our highlight film!
As for our highlight film - LOVE it. They did so well with the editing and choice of music. They really captured our day perfectly in a way that really suited us and our personalities as a couple. It's amazing how well Ryan understood us and our needs. Thank you so much - highly recommended!!
Hiring Cotton Love for our wedding videography was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding vendor search. Ryan and Danny are talented, professional, and some of the warmest and kindest folks you will meet in the industry. Ryan and I were in touch during the editing process, and I was totally impressed with his attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile. His selection of the pace, music, and clips brought us back to all our wedding feels, and I recommend entrusting Cotton Love with the artistic freedom to tell your story. One of my (many) favorite parts of our video was the focus on the sound of our 70's getaway car that built up to our voices during our ceremony. We love our video and are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with the wonderful folks at Cotton Love.
Ryan and his team are so thoughtful and talented, not to mention a joy to work with. During the wedding planning process you'll encounter so many unresponsive vendors that it's such a relief to work with someone who is professional and on top of it. He responded quickly to all my questions and also walked me through what to expect. On the day of the wedding Ryan was super prepared, on time and respectful. It felt like i never saw his team but they were there, getting all the candid shots. On top of this, Ryan and his team were always very open and receptive to our feedback/wishes. He wouldn't hesitate to share what he thought would look great, but also made sure to tailor the photography and video to our specific style.
I highly recommend Cotton Love Studios to anyone who is looking to capture a special moment in their lives!
