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, R...yan 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!
