I booked with Dillan extremely last minute (less than a week before our wedding day). Despite the time crunch he was so accommodating and quick to answer any questions I had. We also had a zoom call where he went over his packages in detail which was extremely helpful. Dillan’s work is absolutely breathtaking as shown on his Instagram page. We had a smaller scale wedding on family property that holds a lot of memories for my family and I. We cannot wait to get our wedding film back to see how he captured it. Your wedding day goes by so fast and people that don’t go through with booking a videographer always say they wish they would have. Do yourself a favor and book with Dillan because you will not regret it!

Dillan did an amazing job capturing our love story through our engagement video session and wedding day! He took the time to get to know us as a couple and really listened when it came to our vision. Dillan does high-quality work and captured elements that felt important to us, even if that meant running through a cornfield! To all the couples out there getting married - we promise that hiring a videographer is so worth it! We highly recommend Dillan Ray Film!

I could not be happier that we chose Dillan as our wedding videographer! He was super easy to work with and stays so on top of things - stellar pre and post wedding communication practices! And on our wedding day, he had such a calm, reassuring presence. Everyone in the wedding party mentioned that both he and our photographer were so friendly and comfortable to be around, which made a world of difference. He got absolutely beautiful footage of every aspect of our special day and created a wonderful highlights video that truly captured the essence of our wedding. We moved locations several times - from a hotel, to Harriet Island's riverside patio, then onto a river boat for social hour and finally back to the Harriet Island Pavilion for the reception and he never missed a beat! We will treasure forever our films forever and cannot thank Dillan enough. I highly recommend his services to any couple in the market for wedding videographer!
Any questions?

Our experience with Dillan Ray Film was absolutely phenomenal, and we can't thank Dillan enough for his incredible work capturing the magic of our wedding day. From start to finish, Dillan was an absolute pleasure to work with.
Dillan's professionalism and attention to detail were apparent from our very first conversation. He took the time to truly understand our vision and preferences, and he went above and beyond to ensure that every moment was captured beautifully.
Throughout the entire process, Dillan was incredibly attentive, helpful, and positive. He made us feel at ease and comfortable in front of the camera, which allowed us to be ourselves and enjoy every moment without worry. His friendly and approachable demeanor made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free.
Dillan's communication skills were also top-notch. He clearly outlined what he needed from us and kept us informed every step of the way. We always felt like we were in good hands, thanks to his open and transparent communication style.
On the day of our wedding, Dillan was an absolute superstar. He seamlessly blended into the background, capturing every precious moment without ever feeling intrusive. His creativity and talent truly shone through in the final product. The wedding film he created exceeded all our expectations and perfectly captured the love, joy, and emotion of our special day.
We are forever grateful to Dillan for his dedication, professionalism, and amazing work. Thanks to him, we have a priceless treasure that we will cherish for a lifetime. If you're looking for a talented and passionate videographer who will make your wedding day even more memorable, look no further than Dillan Ray Film.

Dillan was so easy going, friendly, and willing to customize our experience to match our budget and vision. He communicated quickly and was so easy and fun to walk with. He showed up early and was somehow everywhere yet very discreet as I hardly ever saw him. We just got our wedding video back today and are IN LOVE! So worth it to hire a videographer to capture the magical moments of your day! He did such an amazing job that we were crying all over again watching the video. He included every single part of the day and even included little detail shots that I was so happy to see included. Wow!! Highly recommend!

Easily one of the (if not THEE) most helpful, thoughtful vendors I booked. I booked Dillan way late in the game (I was on the fence about getting a videographer), and it was one of the best decisions I made. He was SO welcoming and thoughtful, knew exactly what he was doing and needed minimal directions to just jump right into things! Even navigating the whole process of wedding planning, he was so incredibly helpful. If you're on the fence about getting a videographer-- 1) do it. You wont regret it. There is SO much you don't see on your wedding day and 2) Book Dillan

Dillan is the best! We knew we wanted him to be our videographer after our first phone call meeting. He wanted to know our whole story and how he could best portray that in our wedding video. He also had great package options that included everything we wanted! Dillan made the preparation and planning so easy for us and was always available for questions. He was also flexible on the day-of, even when our party started getting a little behind schedule. We cannot wait to see our video!

Dillan was great to work with. He was so communicative and helpful and made sure that my husband and I were always in the loop. He knew exactly what he was doing and kept everything moving smoothly. Highly recommend working with Dillan as he truly tries to get to know you as a couple prior to the wedding.

Dillan was so wonderful and fun to work with. He also did an amazing job filming our wedding and making a beautiful film that perfectly captured our wedding day! We could not recommend Dillan Ray Film more!!

We just watched our video and I am completely blown away. Multiple tears were shed and we cannot thank Dillan enough for capturing such a beautiful day. We will cherish his work for the rest of our lives 💕 Dillan is so amazing!
Response from the Vendor on 08/01/2023

Dillan was an absolute pleasure to work with! He was very responsive and professional. I couldn’t recommend him enough! If you want a fun, hard working videographer that will make you feel super comfortable then I highly recommend working with him!
7/05/2023 • Alyssa M
My sister used Dillan as her videographer and I knew right away I would like him to shoot my wedding as well! He is very friendly and instantly makes you feel comfortable. During a day that is already emotionally charged, he helped to make it go seamlessly, while also having us do certain things to get some cool shots. So happy with our decision to have Dillan shoot our day! Can't wait to have this footage to look back on through the years.
6/04/2023 • Hayley M
We are so glad we had Dillan as part of our wedding day. He made us feel so comfortable -- almost as if there wasn't a camera on us. From the first time we chatted you could tell he genuinely cared about us and our marriage, and he was so fun to work with. Highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 06/19/2023
Thank you so much Hayley! You and Olaf were so much fun! I can't wait to show you your wedding films!

Dillan was amazing - he is so organized and helped us plan the day. He is also just a really fun and kind person too and during the stress of planning it is nice to have someone so lighthearted to work with. He also worked very well with our photographer so we were able to maximize our time taking photos / videos which was nice and he captured every single thing, some things I'm not sure I even mentioned like having our dog as a greeter - it was a surprise to see on the video because I didn't eve see her on the wedding day but Dillan captured it all. We have an amazing highlight video with voiceovers from our vows, ceremony, reception and speeches, along with raw footage of of those things to keep forever.
3/19/2023 • Sydney Z
Dillan was awesome to work with! I found him much later than all my other vendors after seeing his videos on Instagram and reached out expecting him to be booked already for my date. I was so excited when he said he was available and we set up a call the next day to meet virtually. He was so easy to get along with and he created a beautiful video for us to remember our special day. He worked so well with our photographer - neither getting in the way of the other. I'd book Dillan again in a heartbeat.

Dillan was amazing to work with for our wedding! He is so easy to talk to and makes the whole process as stress free as possible. Our wedding videos turned out so beautifully -- I know we'll cherish them for years to come. Thank you Dillan! -Rachel and Dylan

Dillan was absolutely incredible capturing our day! I had originally decided we didn't need a videographer for our wedding, but a month before I made the last-minute decision to book one. I came across Dillan's page and loved his work. I am so happy I decided have videography at our wedding and SO grateful that Dillan was available for our date. Dillan was so professional, friendly, and easy to work with. He managed to capture our day perfectly amongst the rain and typical wedding chaos. Our video is absolutely beautiful, I can't believe how every time we watch it it brings me right back to that day. I feel so blessed to have such a special keepsake of our wedding, and am going to treasure it for years to come.
Response from the Vendor on 02/13/2023
Wow, I am so grateful for your kind words! I am thrilled to hear that I was able to capture your special day and create a keepsake that you will treasure for years to come. It was a pleasure working with you and I am so glad that I was able to ...
tell you story. Thank you for choosing me to be a part of your wedding and for taking the time to leave this wonderful review. Your satisfaction means everything to me!

Dillan was absolutely awesome! He really helped to make the day enjoyable! I cannot wait to get our wedding videos back! I heard nothing but wonderful things from guests and our bridal party about him! Our wedding day was truly perfect and Dillan really helped to contribute to the great day!
11/16/2022 • Mary G
Dillan was honestly our favorite wedding vendor! We are so glad that we chose him to be our videographer for our wedding. He also has a drone, which he was able to use that to capture our entire venue. He was very delightful to work with. We even referred him to our friends for their wedding, and I know they will be very happy to have chose him for their wedding as well. We highly recommend Dillan!! (:

Ok stop here! Your videographer search has officially ended. I did sooo much research on different people—many with wonderful reviews—but after one conversation with Dillan, I knew he was it. Here’s why:
Planning:
From the very first email, Dillan was kind, professional, and on top of everything. He was responsive and friendly, outlining what to expect and never pressuring us to do spend more for a bigger package—serious peace of mind for the stressful planning process. He was understanding of the craziness and kept everything organized, so I never had to worry about missing a detail.
Wedding day:
We ended up adding a second shooter and it was SO WORTH IT. Dillan and Kelly made our wedding day so easy. They made us both feel so comfortable, it was like they weren't even there (unless they were hyping us up :) ) and were beyond courteous to us, our guests, and staff the entire time. He checked in intermittently and at the end of the night to make sure he didn't miss any shots that we wanted, which was really helpful during the whirlwind of the day.
After the wedding:
A few days after, he communicated the timeline and expectations. When we got the video, we were seriously blown away. We’ve watched it multiple times with different people and there hasn’t been a dry eye yet. He truly captured the day so perfectly that it made me forget how stressed I was. He made everything look effortless, which shows how much talent and skill goes into his craft. He puts extra time into learning about you and your partner and it truly feels like you are the only couple he’s working with. There’s nothing cookie cutter about the time, effort, and kindness he put into our videos. We are so, so grateful we chose to work with him.

Dillan did such a great job from the beginning from our zoom meetings to planning the final details. He listened to everything we wanted and was super accommodating since we asked to make some changes to the package that we wanted. The day of the wedding was of course full of stress and nerves but Dillan has a way of putting your mind at ease and feeling calm. He did a great job working with our photographer as well and made the entire experience so much fun! We are so happy we found him and can't stop watching our videos!
8/16/2022 • McKenna K
Dillan did such an amazing job capturing our big day!! We weren't sure if we were going to have a videographer when we were first planning our wedding, but I am so glad that we did! He made our wedding video exactly how we pictured it!
6/19/2022 • Kelly J
We LOVED working with Dillan! His great communication leading up to the wedding made us confident that we made the correct choice before we even met him in person! Wedding day he was so fun to be around for the entire day! He got awesome footage and captured our day just how we want to remember it! We got our wedding video way sooner that we would even expect, and it blew us away!! We have watched it multiple times in just a couple days already and have received so many compliments! Watching his video made me SO happy we chose to hire a videographer! He listed to our vision and our video turned out exactly how we wanted!! We are definitely so happy we went with him, and would hire him over and and over again!! You won’t be disappointed!

Dillan was so fun and attentive to what we wanted out of our wedding film. He has such a great energy and made us both feel so special! His work is amazing…definitely worth the investment!

Dillan was amazing on our wedding day. As a couple who doesn’t love pictures or anything like that take he completely made as feel at ease in front of the camera. His communication leading up to the wedding and on the day of was incredible not only with myself but our other vendors. I would absolutely recommend Dillan for your wedding you will not be disappointed!

Dillan did an amazing job videotaping our wedding and putting together the film. Not only is he great at capturing the moment, he’s extremely professional and personable. The entire experience was completely stress-free for us. We we are the fence about getting a videographer, but are extremely happy we did and went with Dillan.
11/11/2021 • Lauren D
Dillan was HANDS DOWN the most hype vendor we had at our wedding. His communication leading up to our big day was so clear and always replied promptly to our many questions. We were on the fence about having a videographer at our wedding and we’re SO glad we went with him! His positive attitude, funny personality and friendliness made our day the best experience! We had a part of our reception where guests participated in our kissing menu activity which Dillan sprinted over to capture it on video. He made us feel comfortable and confident during the day and we soon got past being camera shy. Would recommend Dillon 100% to capture your day!

Working with Dillan and Dillan Ray Films was absolutely incredible! Throughout the process he made everything easy and low stress. Dillan communicated at every stage in the wedding planning process. He was so on top of everything, I never had to follow up with him or ask questions because he answered questions before I even had them.
Dillan Ray Films have features that I found other videographers may not include like an engagement video and drone footage. The engagement video turned out so great and really got us comfortable being in front of the camera. Dillan filmed during our engagement shoot with our photographer. I left the session with peace of mind about being filmed and how Dillan coordinates with photography.
Speaking of photography, Dillan worked with our photographer incredibly well. We had multiple people at our wedding thinking that they were business partners because they worked so well as a team. Not only did Dillan work well with our photographer, but he worked with us and our guests well. Watching our video back, we had no idea Dillan was filming parts of our wedding that he filmed. He seamless matches the guests and subtly films without standing out or making people feel uncomfortable. The result of that is we have video of all our friend and family as they are - with no posing or acting.
Overall, I would recommend Dillan Ray Films to any couple. Dillan's videography style and professionalism were so far above and beyond anything we anticipated. I'm so grateful we have videos of our engagement session and our wedding.

Dillan was AMAZING on this day. He captured so many thoughtful moments that I could not even remember in the blur of the day. He worked SO well with the photographer and they both found fun spots and unique ways to capture this day. He truly is the best of the best if you are looking for someone to capture your day. 10/10 would recommend!

Dillan was amazing on our wedding day. He is so friendly! His work is great and he can capture great shots and real raw moments as well. He had great, creative ideas that will look amazing in our wedding video. I would recommend Dillan for a wedding videographer a million times over.

Dillan did amazing work! He captured all the special moments of our day. Still get teared up watching the videos with all of the great memories captured. If you are contemplating getting a videographer it is well worth the money!

Dillan was so awesome throughout the whole wedding planning process and at our wedding. He is so talented and made the absolute best video that my husband and I will be able to look back on forever. Such a great guy and videographer !!

I cannot say enough great things about Dillan. My partner and I got married back in March of 2017, and to this day I can say that having Dillan Ray Film as our videographer was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. I still watch our highlight video frequently and smile while being flooded with the memories from the day. He caught all the best parts of the day on camera and captured some beautiful candid moments that really make the video so unique. He did this all while being extremely professional and it never felt like he was in the way. Nothing ever felt staged or awkward and he helped us feel comfortable enough that we could just be ourselves. He worked really well with our photographer and listened to our ideas, wants, and needs. Choosing Dillan Ray Film as our wedding videographer is something I will never regret.
