We wish we could give Declan 10 stars. He was nothing but accommodating, helpful, respectful, extremely communicative and most importantly, INSANELY talented from the first time we talked. He worked extremely well with our other vendors and even stepped in to make sure the lighting in our ceremony room was perfect for the mood of the event and to make sure it translated well on camera.
As for the filming and video itself, it is absolutely stunning, we cry like babies every time we watch it. I'm an Art Director myself and can assure you his editing is top notch, his composition is spot on and he's able to capture all the important and intimate moments without ever even realizing he's there, which is an invaluable quality in a videographer.
Declan doesn't just show up on your day and film, he worked with us from the moment we hired him, he had me fill out a detailed questionnaire and then we had a meeting and went over every single thing and our exact timeline to familiarize himself with our day. He talked to us about music, and let us have a hand in picking out the song, he was hands down the best communicator out of all our vendors, he always replied quickly to my texts and emails. In my mind, that was everything I could ask for in a vendor!
He was a very important asset to our day, he contributed a perfect level of professionalism and fun energy and because of that we now have a video that we get to enjoy the rest of our lives!
I'm glad we snagged him in Ohio before he moved, California will be lucky to have him! You don't need to think twice about hiring Declan!

We love Declan! We were working with a tight budget for our wedding and I knew that I wanted a videographer more than anything and Declan was able to help us out and work with us. While we didn't work with Declan on the wedding day, his team that we did work with did an amazing job at capturing our day beautifully and Declan was a joy to work with while we got ready for the big day. We has communicative, helpful and ended up making the most incredible highlight video for us. Our wedding video has got to be the best thing I got from that day. I have watched it a minimum of 2x every day since the we received the final video and it just makes my heart so happy to see how perfectly the joy was captured. I couldn't recommend Declan and his team enough for your special day!

Declan was so awesome to work with! We just got our wedding videos back and could not be happier! Our whole family was in shock of how amazing the videos are. The video captures every perfect moment and tells such a beautiful story. I will cherish these videos for the rest of my life! If you are on the fence about getting a videographer, you absolutely have to! Ive rewatched the videos 1000 times already, it seriously takes you right back to that day! I couldn’t recommend Declan enough! These are the best wedding videos I have ever seen!! We got married at the Noble Ridge Tree Deck in Washougal, Washington so the footage was absolutely insane of how beautiful that venue is!

Videography was super important to us when we were picking vendors, and we couldn’t be happier with our wedding videos from Declan! Declan’s team did such a great job the entire day, and Declan’s edit of all our footage captured everything we wanted! Can’t recommend him and his team enough!

Declan and CJ are AMAZING! CJ filmed our wedding and he was very sweet and professional. Declan did an amazing job editing the content and creating a BEAUTIFUL 6 minute highlight film, which we cried watching. My husband and I are so happy to have a short video that summarizes our wedding day perfectly.

we LOVED declan. From the beginning, he was easy to communicate with, straightforward, gave us all the details, and his price is so reasonable for how professional the outcome is! ON the day of the wedding, our party loved him and enjoyed his overall presence and interactions. He was just fun to have around! And finally, he got our video back in a very timely manner (3 months)! And the results were phenomenal and just impressed with how professional it looks. Would definitely pick him ten times over!

Declan’s passion for storytelling through video was evident from the beginning. His portfolio proves it and his passion overflows and passes on to his interactions in person. I’m a picky bride, yet I was flattered seeing that he certainly took the time to truly understand our love story (which is so crucial to storytelling!) along with the unique elements of our wedding as we progressed through the planning process. We had a theme with a reception to let loose! With that, it was important for our videographer to capture both the big and small, candid interactions that are so easy to miss amidst the whirlwind of a wedding day. Declan seamlessly blended into the background, and captured our beautiful moments without ever feeling intrusive.
To top it off, Declan is open to any ideas you may have, which proves that he is such a wonderful partner to work with (and turns into your friend) instead of just a “vendor”. In fact, he had the brilliant idea of adding our guestbook videos to our wedding film… and I tagged along saying “hey, we should include our home vlogs we were trying to capture too!!” And, that, he did.
His vision for our story fit so perfectly. Now, every time my husband and I watch our wedding video, it feels as if we're transported back to our once in a moment, magical day, and revisited our life story together. I personally cried, lol, and our friends and family were able to also relive the day and loved seeing their wishes and moments captured on camera.
If you’re looking for a videographer to capture the full story, love, and vibe of your wedding, Declan is the one. He's all ears and eyes. Choose wisely ;)

Declan was so amazing from the beginning of communicating with him to the delivery of our footage he was so helpful and kept in touch the entire way! The adventure session was so fun and playful and really helped us get comfortable in front of the camera not to mention the addition of it in our highlight film was so cool!! He truly is a master of his craft and I was so so pleased with how our footage turned out. He captured all the perfect moments and had us laughing and crying while watching our highlight film back. He was so professional and fun throughout the entire process and I would 100% recommend him!!

Declan is so awesome. His work is amazing and his personality is just as so. My wife and I hired Declan to be our videographer for our wedding. He started off as just another vendor, and he ended up becoming one of our friends. We received our videos we requested super quick and all of our family and friends that watched were in tears. It captured our day perfectly and included all of the important moments.
During quick breaks of the photo and video session, he would chat up the bridal party, he was super easy to work with, and the final result was incredible. He also worked with the other vendors we hired incredibly and always made sure to make everyone comfortable. He helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera and we all had so much fun shooting with him! Highly highly recommend Declan!! You won’t be disappointed - you will be blown away.

Watching the videos he made for us brought tears to our eyes and allowed us to relive the special moments of our wedding day all over again. We can’t wait to show them to our kids one day.

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing right now and hire Declan! Working with Declan was an absolute honor and privilege. Declan is so personable, professional, and soooo talented. He helped us to re-live our day in such a beautiful way through his incredible work. My husband and I took our time in looking for a videographer. Once we came across Declan’s work, we NEW he was the videographer for us. He has a way of telling people’s love stories as if they told it themselves. If we had to do it all over again, we’d choose Declan every single time. Thank you Declan for all the hard work you put into our film! We love it so much!!!

Declan was a crucial part of our wedding and left us with memories from our wedding that we will never forget. We chose him because we felt a true connection to the videos he made. They were soulful, portrayed the love between the couples magically and every video he made gave you chills. His perspective was artistic and he truly was skillful. From our first meeting with him, we knew he would give 110% to everything he did. Even though he had never filmed an Indian wedding before, he did his best to get as much information as he could and make sure nothing got missed. He made sure to keep in contact and would even check in with us regularly. On the day of the wedding he was always available and made sure to be ready and prepared for anything. When we got our wedding highlight video, it was amazing how he had captured the most important parts of the day in such an artistic and beautiful way. It was truly a masterpiece we will never stop watching. He even recorded the entire day for us an included those videos in edited form. Declan is the whole package- talent, price, personality!

My husband and I really enjoyed working with Declan. He met with us before the wedding to get to know us and to learn about what was important to us in the big day. I've heard horror stories of being rushed through the motions of a wedding by their photographer/ videographer. We experienced the exact opposite with Declan and his team. We appreciated his flexibility in making the day what we wanted.
We were a little disappointed to learn last minute that we needed to use a microphone for the ceremony or we would have to sign a waiver in case the audio quality did not turn out correctly in the video.
Luckily we were able to make that happen and the video turned out beautifully. Declan was able to capture our style and personality so well in the frames and music he chose for our wedding trailer.
My only other note would be that, at the time, there was no package that included all of the raw footage of our wedding. We would have loved to have had that option when we chose the biggest and most expensive photography/ videography package that was offered. Instead we had to pay extra at a later date to receive all of the raw footage.
I would highly recommend Declan for your videography needs. He is professional, personable, and a true artist who is inspired to stay on the cutting edge in his field.

Hey Chelsea! Thanks for leaving an awesome review and I'm glad you enjoyed your wedding fi...
lms! Regarding the audio, we could have captured good audio without the DJ, however, we try to capture at least two different types of audio as a backup because weddings only happen once. Also, sorry for any confusion surrounding the RAW footage. It's an add-on product even with the big packages. Based on your valuable feedback I've made some improvements to my pricing guide. Thank you and all the best in the future!

Declan is a very talented and creative videographer. When we saw his films on YouTube, we knew we had to ask him to be our wedding videographer. Not only was he organized and detail-oriented, but he was approachable and kind. He made us feel comfortable during the whole process. We absolutely loved our wedding film – beautiful and authentic, and of course, the cinematography was second to none. Asking him to create our wedding film was the best decision. I highly recommend Declan as a wedding and lifestyle videographer.

Do yourself a favor and hire Declan! Before our wedding, Declan asked my fiancé and I questions to get us excited for our big day but also so he would know exactly what we value in our wedding video. He really took the time to get to know us and made the whole experience really special. I love how he shot our day without staging very much of anything. He truly captures life in the most honest way. Can’t wait for our video!

Working with Declan was an absolute pleasure. Our wedding was in North Canton, OH on September 22, 2018. Declan was on the grounds first thing in the morning with his drone to get amazing footage of our venue. He was able to capture seemingly every moment of the day to create a great memory piece for my wife and I. The highlight video was perfect, and we could tell that Declan put his whole heart into making something he was proud of. I would highly recommend Lace+Waves to anyone looking for an amazing keepsake of their wedding.

We found these two gems through a mutual friend's engagement shots she posted on facebook. I thought they were absolutely breathtaking, and when I got on their formerly, Rachel Cadman Photography, website, I was sold. Rachel and Dec are so personable, encouraging and a dream to work with. They went above and beyond all of mine and my husband's expectations. Rachel even helped me borrow a friend of her's dress, I wore her veil at my wedding, they helped us settle our venue and look for weeks for one when we decided to move up our date. They adjusted to our schedule as we were returning from overseas and prior to that met with us late at night so we could call early our morning due to the time change. I can't begin to tell you how much they went above any expectations I had. Picking an artist to capture your day is hard. They are there during the most intimate times, and these two did it with such class and comfort that I felt very natural with them. If you haven't found an artist yet, these are your people. I can't recommend them highly enough!
Oh - and we weren't planning on getting a wedding video but wanted to help the Cadman's out as they rebranded and oh my goodness are we so glad we jumped on the steal of a deal they gave us. Dec did an amazing job, and once again went above and beyond.
