We absolutely LOVED our wedding video that Dale captured for our day! It truly captured the love we felt all throughout the day and it captures what photos can't. We are SO happy we got a video of our day and we have already watched it on repeat a million times. Dale captured stunning drone footage of our venue and property and all the key memories throughout the day.

Thank you so much ❤️ Loved being a part of your and Bryan’s day!
Dale was such a huge part of our day. He captured the overall feeling and emotion of our wedding day beyond words can even describe. Our whole family was in awe when we shared the video, you truly felt as though you were at our wedding day again with all of the emotion and details through our video. I’m so beyond blessed to have worked with Dale and have this video for the rest of our lives. I can’t recommend him enough, he worked side by side with our photographer and just knocked it out of the park. Thank you X a million for capturing every part of our day we can’t thank you enough!

When my daughter was planning her wedding and told me what it cost to have it recorded on video, I was skeptical to say the least. I was so wrong! Dale captured the day perfectly and I have watched the video a dozen times and it takes me back to that beautiful day. Highly recommend! A worthy investment for this parent.
Any questions?
Dale & his team are the most professional, fun, caring & creative videographers out there! I highly recommend booking Dale - so if you’re considering anyone else, just stop looking, Dale is your guy. We received the most beautiful, cinematic, romantic & memorable wedding film from him and just can’t believe our eyes every time we watch it. Worth the investment in every way. Thank you again Dale! ❤️
Dale Bartosz Photography and Film is a 10/10! He was Amazing to work with and the video he made of our wedding is incredible! One we will cherish forever! Such a great choice picking him! See for yourself! https://galleries.vidflow.co/4nscsvzt
Dale was professional and fun to work with! From a previous couples photo shoot, to our engagement photos and now, our wedding, he ensured every detail was covered! It was hands-down the best day of our lives and now, skillfully preserved in vivid color, the memory can last a lifetime. Highly recommend.
If you are looking for a videographer for your wedding, your search ends here. Dale is absolutely phenomenal!!!! He was a pleasure to work with and incredibly professional. Worth every penny we spent!! He was timely with his communication throughout the entire process. Needless to say, planning a wedding is very stressful, but I knew that I did not need to worry about our video. He asked for the contact information for my photographer and took the time to coordinate with her. On our wedding day, he was patient and respectful with directing my crazy family. Our wedding day went by so fast it was hard to remember all of the details, but he captured them so beautifully. The final product is beyond words. He so perfectly captured our day and I felt as though I was transported back in time. The gift to be able to relive our wedding over and over is a priceless gift.
Dale is truly wonderful. The talent he has to take a wedding day and turn it into the most wonderful memory, is magical. Since receiving our wedding video, I think I have watched it close to 20 times. The emotion and happiness he captures is something I will always cherish. Words cannot express how truly grateful I am to Dale for giving us the most precious memory of the best day of our lives.

Thank you SO much! It was truly my pleasure- you guys were amazing!
Dale exceeded all of our expectations from start to finish. He has prompt, professional, clear communication and you can tell he loves what he does. He has a natural talent that you can see in his work. We are in awe at how beautiful our video turned out, it was worth every single penny. If you’re on the fence about videography, do it, and trust me when I say to use Dale! 10/10 recommend.
Response from the Vendor on 08/10/2024
Thank you so much! 🤍🤍🤍 it was truly my pleasure!
You know the saying “A picture doesn’t do it justice”? Well, that doesn’t apply to Dale. From the moment he started snapping pictures, I knew that they were going to be incredible. What I didn’t expect was for them to exceed even my highest expectations.
The thing about Dale is you don’t realize what he’s actually doing behind the camera until he sends you the photos. I never would have imagined that the point and clicks I watched in real time would morph into a string of unique, delicate moments that, in the chaos of the day, I didn’t fully experience until I sat with photographs in my hand. Dale gave us those moments back. I felt them as deeply as I could have in real time, more so even. I look through them often, reliving the magic and joy of that day, and I’m so grateful for Dale’s skill and his eye for finding the perfect shot.
If you’re still looking for a photographer, no need to look any further. Dale is worth every penny and more.

10/5! Dale was amazing!
We hired him for our wedding video and boy did he deliver! From arriving early, to getting all the little moments of our big day! We couldn’t have asked for a better turn out!
I might be bias but our video is better than anyone that I have ever seen. He captured and showed all our favorite people, moments, and speeches.
My husband and I were on the fence about having a videographer all together. But in the end we just knew it had to be done! Well worth the splurge too!
My photographer team also said he was amazing! He was easy to work with, and never got in the way of the photos or them working!
We just had him for video, but just think about the magic he could do with photo as well!
Dale Bartosz Photography brings much more than high quality photography when you hire him. He brings great communication, professionalism, trust, and a worry free experience on your event day. The photos are top notch and the fantastic editing skills Dale offers his clients is second to none. He is equipped with the highest quality gear to capture your moment, do NOT settle for less than Dale and his business!
From the engagement shoot to the wedding day we felt confident about our investment in Dale to deliver amazing pictures of our big day, and our expectations we're exceeded greatly. Do not hesitate to contact Dale for your event, he will deliver.
Dale takes amazing photos! They were not the stuffy/staged photos that sometimes see with other wedding photographers. We love the candid photos, and Dale did a great job capturing some amazing shots. We are incredibly happy with our wedding photos! Thank you, Dale!
Dale did a fantastic job on our wedding pictures and our wedding video was absolutely breathtaking. We have so many moments that captured our magical day. He made us feel so comfortable, listened to our request and we couldn't be happier the way our photos and video turned out. Thank you so much for capturing each moment!

We could not recommend Dale enough. He is wonderful to work with and be around. He was helpful and thoughtful the entire day, he had a great eye for amazing shots and is incredibly talented at what he does. Our wedding video is everything we could've dreamed of and more, and that drone footage is just amazing. If you have been on the hunt for a photographer or videographer, you've found the one, book him without hesitation. Just awesome!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dale. He is so kind, patient, thoughtful and amazing at what he does! The way he captured our special day was remarkable.

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer than Dale! From the very beginning, he was incredibly responsive to all our inquiries. His effective communication made the entire process stress-free! Dale is so friendly and approachable. His demeanor really put us at ease which resulted in genuine and heartfelt photographs that truly reflect the love and joy of our wedding day.

We are blown away by the quality and quantity of our photos from Dale! He met with us a few months before our wedding so we could get some face time and feel confident our day was in good hands. He was pretty punctual throughout the process and worked with our coordinator on the day of to make sure everything ran smooth. We appreciated that he wasn’t shy and took charge when needed. Our guests were impressed as well! He was a little late delivering the photos, but communicated to us his schedule and didn’t leave us hanging. And besides, it was worth the wait 😄
We always knew we wanted a wedding video to capture our day and Dale went above and beyond our expectations. On the day, he did a great job of capturing me and my husband just being us. He gave light direction and worked well with our photographer. He is very reasonably priced for the quality of work he puts out. From the music he chose all the way down to how he edited our vows was superb!
If you’re deciding between other videographers and Dale, let me save you the time, choose Dale!

Dale was seriously the best!!! We looked at soooo many videos before we came across dales and knew instantly he was the one we wanted to shoot our wedding. I can’t say enough good things about Dale and his work. We have received so many compliments on how amazing his work was! If you are looking for a videographer, look no further!

You guys were so fun to work with. Thank you so much!!!! 🤍🤍🤍
Dale was so awesome to work with, he communicated in a timely manner and was easy to get a hold of via text plus the finished products were beautiful!
Dale did an amazing job at our wedding! Dale was so professional, super nice and easy to work with.
We received the wedding video promptly and the quality was excellent!
We have gotten so many compliments!!
I highly recommend Dale!!
The only way to enjoy the perfect day over and over again is having it captured in the most perfect way... Dale Bartosz went above and beyond to deliver a flawless representation of our wedding. His creative eye captures every intricate detail, pieces the story together seamlessly, and makes it easy to relive what matters most. Aside from the highlight video, Dale saved the day when our original videographer could no longer attend (why didn't we choose Dale in the first place!?). Also, he was extremely professional, prompt, and worked very well with the other vendors. Don't let yourself make the same mistake I originally made by thinking of going with someone else for your wedding... Choose Dale - you won't regret it today, tomorrow, or for the rest of your happily ever after.

Dale did such an amazing job with our wedding photos! We were so happy with his services and will definitely be using him again in the future.
We are so happy with Dale and his team and love how our pictures turned out. They had great energy which helped get the wedding party and crew laughing and smiling. They also showed up prepared and on time and stayed a little past the time we agreed to, which was much appreciated. Our pictures look absolutely stunning and we love the mix of light and airy photos as well as dark and dramatic. We would definitely recommend Dale and team to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.
We booked Dale last minute for our July wedding and we were so pleased with the turnout of our photos. Dale worked hard to document every memory. Thanks, Dale!
Would recommend Dale to anyone when it comes to your wedding needs! He did such an amazing job on me and my husbands wedding video! He is very professional and so easy to work with! And our wedding video was absolutely beautiful!! He had no problem jumping right in when he came morning of and that continued throughout the ENTIRE day! Didn’t lose his energy at all and we were so thankful for that! Thank you SO much Dale!!
Dale did our wedding video for our Grand Rapids wedding this June and we just got our video back and we are SO happy! He was prompt, professional, and worked great with our photographer. Him and his wife did such a good job at capturing the pure joy of our day! I cannot recommend him enough!

It was an honor capturing the beauty of your day for you guys! Thank you for everything!!!
Dale was a fantastic photographer! He was open to any of our suggestions, and took some beautiful shots despite us not being able to hear him over the sound of the dam. Our photos turned out beautifully and I love all of them. He arrived on time and even stayed a little later to get some more reception photos. He was full of ideas and helped us feel comfortable executing them, since neither my husband or I are very comfortable behind the camera. :)
I only give four stars instead of five because I was expecting two photographers for 8 hours, and we only had him as his partner had fallen sick the day of the wedding. He did incredible work, managing to get shots I didn't expect him to be able to do by himself, so it certainly was still worth it. We also had to wait quite a while for our full gallery of photos, but Dale was incredible about keeping us update about the progress -- I'm sure it was just my impatience that made it feel like I was waiting so long!
I absolutely would hire Dale again, and have him filed away in my mind for family photos in the future.
Let me just start off by saying this We hired dale for our wedding videography and I would just like to mention how easy he is. He shows up excited and ready to go, he is amazing at making everyone feel comfortable and amazing at taking charge and getting things done. It went so smoothly and I loved every moment of my big day ❤️❤️❤️ Dale gave us back our wedding video today and I must say I immediately burst into tears it’s not even funny, I loved it. You all are missing out if you don’t go with him as your videographer. He knew exactly what moment to capture at exactly the right time, thank you 😊

Hi Jenny, thank you SO much for the kind words. You and Matt were a dream and so fun to work with on your wedding day! Can you say family photo shoots in the future??? 😊
Dale was our videographer for our wedding last summer and did a phenomenal job! We almost didn’t have a videographer and changed our minds last minute and reached out to Dale, and are SO glad we did! He is professional and timely and really great at what he does (photography too)! We love watching our video back and reminiscing on our wedding day! If you’re unsure if you need a videographer for your wedding day - you do!! And I would highly recommend Dale for the job! You won’t be disappointed!
