Joel was a pleasure to work with from start to finish! We changed our wedding plans last minute (thanks to covid) to have a small ceremony/reception of 20 people, and include the r...est of our friends/family virtually through a live stream. We were nervous about our budget, because it was a last minute 'add' and so important for us to include. From the first message Joel was very honest with us; a live stream wedding is still new for him and that he would do it at a great price.
We were a little nervous leading up to our big day that family wouldn't be able to find the link etc... so Joel set up a test run with us and it was smoother than signing into Netflix.
The day of our wedding Joel ran into some technical difficulties due to the venue's wifi and a signal block of some kind. Luckily, he arrived with plenty of time to set up and found this out prior to the start of our ceremony, He problem solved and was able to change the live stream to a different platform, and was thoughtful enough to send an email to all of our guests advising them of the new link. Joel did all of this without stressing me (the bride) out, which honestly was fantastic.
The video/sound quality was less than we previewed during the test run as he had to switch from his fancy cameras to his iphone last minute, but all of our virtual guests were able to watch the ceremony and celebrate from home which was the most important part for us.
After the event, Joel was so kind to us and you can truly tell how much passion he puts into his work just by speaking with him. He sent us the raw and audio enhanced video after the event and he caught so many special moments that we didn't see happen on the big day and our other vendors didn't capture, he even mailed us a USB drive so that we can keep the video forever.
We would absolutely work with Joel again, and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an honest, hardworking, passionate videographer!
