Devan Shae Media

and I'm so fortunate to have these beautiful videos forever. Devan was very professional, communicative, and super sweet. 10/10 recommend her. Thank you, Devan!!

ldn’t recommend enough!

r or think we needed videography, then changed our minds! As the wedding date got closer and we found out that my now-husband’s elderly grandparents wouldn’t be able to make the trip, we started to discuss recording the ceremony for them and decided that we wanted family members to enjoy the moment and not be asked to record. I started the somewhat last-minute search for a videographer and after talking to a few others, we decided to hire Devan for our special day. Devan provided us with the most beautiful, moving, cinematic-quality videos that we watch more frequently than we ever thought we would, and that I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. We had a few conversations before the wedding, and Devan was totally down to work with us to customize the videos we wanted. We agreed on a package with a full ceremony video and a highlight video that went from getting ready at the venue through the reception grand entrance, at a totally reasonable price. I’d seen a lot of wedding videos that are heavy on BTS footage of the photographer’s shoots, and I shared that I wanted to see that but was more interested in what we couldn’t see that day…. Cocktail hour, our guests arriving, the reception area setup and guests experiencing it. Devan did all of that and struck the most perfect balance between giving us direction when needed, but us also forgetting she was there (such as the first look and other moments). She was also just a lovely, kind person to have as part of our team in sharing our day. We received the completed videos back within a month and I was blown away with the result. Friends and family commented that they could feel the emotion in the videos and that it felt like watching an artfully directed/edited short film. Her editing skills are amazing and while we did NOT think to plan any choreography for our first dance, the edited video made us look like we had killer moves. Any future children or family who watch this video will think that we had a perfect dance planned, and no one needs to know the truth! She captured so many shots that I didn’t see myself or from our photographer that all added to telling a story of a joyous day. I loved that she interwove our speeches/vows with video of us getting ready or taking our first look. And our families absolutely loved the ceremony video; all of the songs we had chosen, the speeches, etc. were clear and watching it felt like I was there again. It’s been almost 2 years and I find myself watching both videos ALL the time. You know how people comment about never watching wedding videos? I find myself occasionally wanting to re-live that experience of celebrating with all of our loved ones, or to hear our vows again, and this is embarrassing but I sometimes get emo watching them even having seen them countless times before. I can’t recommend hiring Devan Shae Media enough!
