Dream Light Visuals

ssional and worked well with other vendors. I am thankful for his quick responses, kind words, and flexible approach to a stressful wedding season!

g and spending time with them. They even stopped by the after party! You can tell being around Junior he takes his job very seriously and has vision in everything he does. We had him shoot our rehearsal dinner and wedding so there was a lot of footage to use when making the two videos we ordered. He was so kind about making the requests I had for revisions to the video to incorporate some additional moments that were most important to us. You will not be sorry you picked Junior, I can promise you that (and I’m really, really picky!!!) His work is head and shoulders above every other videographer’s samples we saw available to shoot in Key West.

acted us to Dream Light Visuals were the films on their website. The films that we later found out to belong to another Florida based wedding videography company, Walter Aleman Photography and Videography. I was shocked at this discovery and called the owner of that company, Walter, to see what he had to say. He was very professional & friendly and said that he “lets Junior shoot under him and has allowed Dream Light Visuals to put some of his (Walter’s) work on their website to help them (Junior) out.” Why is this a problem? Because if I’m seeing a film that someone is telling me they shot themselves & edited themselves and I’m hiring them on the basis of that, only to find out that those were lies…it’s UNACCEPTABLE. You can see for yourself right now…two identical films with two completely different film company names, one of them being “Dream Light Visuals”: Walter Aleman: https://www.walteraleman.com/fullscreen-page/comp-ipz7w5o2/894d865a-987d-4823-8f98-b08fe8c3dcf5/0/%3Fi%3D0%26p%3Dc1dmp%26s%3Dstyle-j9rqlyxr Junior: https://vimeo.com/174610905 The footage we got back was appalling. We received a bunch of extremely blurry, shaky footage shot on visibly dirty lenses which most of the time was positioned behind the photography team which makes the footage completely unusable. The fact is that we do NOT have basic wedding shots because they are either not there or so blurry and shaky that they are unusable, including but not limited to: -Venue shots (literally not a single shot of the resort we put him and his wife up at for 4 days. He even lied and said he was filming venue shots when in fact he was off site with his wife one day) -ceremony garland exchange (completely missing) -key moments during our ceremony -Getting ready shots (out of the 2 days he filmed us getting ready, there are maybe 4 usable shots - he kept putting his fingers in front of the lens) -detail/jewelry/clothing shots (we had to redo every single detail shot ourselves once we got home) -card reading/gift exchange -First kiss (all we have is one blurry shot from behind us and he was using 3 cameras!) - ring exchange -parent gift exchange -all ceremony entrances (all his cameras missed this because they were blurry, shaky and focused on random guests for some odd reason) -immediate family members throughout wedding (out of 4 events there are maybe only half a dozen shots of our family members) We are not trying to be mean or unreasonably critical but I do NOT want another couple to experience what we have had to experience with Junior and his company. Junior’s footage appears to be shot by someone who literally has never picked up a camera before. And the WORST part is that Junior doesn’t even care. We’ve emailed him several times to which he says that he tried his best. I explained how we don’t want a full refund because I respect the effort that he (and his wife) did put in, however, he did not fulfill what we specifically laid out in his contract, the requirement of “clean shots.” I did ask for the remaining payment to be refunded and he refused to do so which is why I have no other alternative than to do my best to let other couples know how Junior does business and to avoid the heartbreak that comes after the wedding when the wedding film is just not there.

inning, he was flexible, kind, and very professional. He was ok meeting closer to my house to discuss the photography and the wedding timeline. He responded quickly to any of my texts or emails, and was very flexible when I was out of the country during the planning process. On the day of, he and his assistant showed up early and stayed until the very end. He made sure we had the photos we wanted and also had great artistic vision that resulted in some gorgeous photos I never would've imagined myself. Everyone from my husband, to my parents, to my guests have commented on how nice both he and his assistant were. They also worked quickly but not rushed to make sure we had the best lighting for all the photos. He made sure to have us start the cake-cutting and bouquet toss before the end of his contracted time so we would get those photos as well, even though we were running late on those events. Post-wedding, I received the preview photos within a week of the wedding and they were so beautiful. I can't wait to see the full set and he has been great about staying in contact post-wedding. Overall, Junior is a talented photographer and a total professional. Pricewise his services are a steal. I researched so many photographers during the planning process and his prices were an incredible value, particularly since his work is unmatched. Even my makeup artist has said that our photos look like something out of an editorial. There is no better photographer in south Florida than Dream Light Visuals, hands down.
