rom the ceremony and the reception were exactly what we wanted to see. I just can’t recommend them enough. For two people and a drone, you will not find a better value and videographer! If they are available for your date, hire them!
Nick and Bradleigh truly went above and beyond our greatest dreams when capturing our wedding day and creating our wedding video!
Leading up to the wedding day, they were incredib...
ly responsive with any and all questions I had, and they were very attentive to knowing what our priorities were on our big day and that no detail was going to be missed. Most importantly, they completely listened to our main vision of glorifying the Lord throughout our day and making sure our video exuded the joy we were feeling!
Day of the wedding, they made us feel so special and cared for -- they were not simply there to get footage, but rather to make sure everything went as planned and that we were relaxed during every stage of the day. They were easy-going, helpful, and brought a sense of calm to the day simply by being a stellar husband and wife duo!
And finally, the video itself -- We were BLOWN away by how beautifully the day was captured. We will cherish our video for a lifetime, as it perfectly encompasses the entire day -- the meaning of marriage; the importance of family and friends; the massive(!) amount of rain; the fun; and mostly the love that Trey and I share.
We are so thankful for our experience with Nick and Bradleigh and would truly recommend them to ALL of our family and friends. It was the best experience with the sweetest memories to look back on for a lifetime.
How do we even begin? Besides the actual marriage part of our wedding, Defining Moments Media was one of the most AMAZING parts of our special day! Bradleigh and Nick were wonderfu...
l to work with and very attentive throughout the whole videography process. They both are so talented and such a great team, not to mention fun to work with! Chris and I are truly grateful for the dedication they put towards the memories from our special day and they helped make the experience quite memorable for both of us. 10/10, would recommend!!!
Nick and Bradliegh were amazing, fun, and so so talented! They made our day better than we could ever dream!!
There are no words to describe what Nick and Bradleigh bring to the wedding atmosphere! They capture those unexpected moments to cherish a lifetime! Their joy, enthusiasm, and spon...
taneous energy makes every moment count and makes for endless photos and videos you’ll want to watch over and over. Their creative dynamics with one another and love for each other comes out in every love story they capture.
