Dyle Films

s in line with established expectations. During our events, he was amazing and and knew how to capture every moment without being invasive (has an amazing eye for detail). Chad was flexible with his schedule and focused on capturing all the right footage. Going into it, I understood the timeline for deliverables would be stretched and was fine with that - I am willing to spend the money and wait for a great product. We hired Chad because we loved his style - his trailers were the best we saw! We hosted numerous meetings to align on expectations and key moments and in the end the product was not in line with what was discussed. There were constant excuses and delays - we didn’t rush because we wanted the best product, but in the end it was not worth the time we waited. It took us over a year to receive the trailer and 17 months for the videos, which seemed rushed and not very professionally put together. We requested edits and basically had to threaten legal action to even get the raw footage, which were part of our paid package (finally received 21 months after our wedding). Some footage were delivered via Dropbox and I had to pay for a larger version to even be able to download - created extra work for me. We never got what we wanted and the disappointment tainted our experience with Dyle Films.

it started to POUR and got great footage! Post wedding: received our trailer in about 4 months and our full video in about 6 months!! I just watched our ceremony ans cried all over again. I’m very excited to have used Dyle Films to capture our wedding day and will cherish the videos forever!

on a 10 month time frame, but it ended up being just over a year before we got the trailer. After a year and 3 months we just got our full footage back. While we are happy overall, I wish I would have discussed the time line when booking.

y a little OVER A YEAR after our wedding I had to REACH OUT TO HIM go ask where our wedding video was, he replied & said all he needed was an address to send it to. Like, we’re you not going to ever tell me you had it ready? If i never emailed asking where it was, were you ever going to send it? So he sent It to us... when we got it I expected a kind note or something. NOPE. With the amount of money we paid plus how long it took & how unresponsive he was, it’s ridiculous. Never once did he apologize for the lack of delivery or how long it took or lack of communication/response or offer a way to make it right. ALSO there was no footage of our second line in the trailer which was super disappointing. Overall, this was the most disappointing part of my entire wedding experience & I would rather have my money back.

d that having bright lights and a camera in my face would be invasive and distract from the ceremony and celebration. Wow was I wrong! Chad and his team were like ninjas, I only noticed them when I was looking for them. The team at Dyle films was amazing from the moment we reached out. Chad patiently explained the various packages they offer and answered my seemingly endless questions before helping me select the best fit for our big day. Chad and his team were professional, helpful, energetic, prompt and thorough in their craft of capturing every tiny but meaningful detail of our special day. Just this week we received our trailer, ahead of schedule, and we were beyond impressed! It is absolutely incredible and I am so grateful we had committed to this last minute splurge. It is honestly one of the best decisions we made!

to one. After looking through the trailers on Dyle Films, I found myself tearing up to weddings of people who were strangers to me! I knew that Dyle Films was the one for me. Chad has been working with me from the beginning via email and I met him for the first time on the day of my wedding. He was extremely nice, easy to talk to, and super fun to be around. As the ceremony and reception went on, I found myself barely noticing that Chad was around because he really gives you your space while constantly filming. He was there with a second videographer who I cannot remember his name, but was also very nice. While we were taking some quick photos before the ceremony began, we saw that they had a drone flying around too which was very cool! It's still very early on after our wedding so we haven't seen any videos yet, but I cannot wait to see them. Thank you Chad and Dyle Films!

lms is to be aware of the timing. It did take 8 months to get our video and communicating back and forth was not ideal (there was some miscommunication on timing and the fact that we needed to have sent in three song recommendations). However, it was so worth the wait once we got it. Chad came highly recommended by our wedding planner and I knew he was the best. Didn't even notice him during the whole wedding.

an't wait to see our video and trailer!!

professional on-site, and their talented crew got a LOT of great footage from our big weekend. We were so glad to have them there! Personally, it was a pleasure to meet them and work with them during the event. After the wedding, however, the communication dropped for a while. We were later informed that the Dyles had some unexpected, serious family issues come up, but we were not told that not until we finally reached out to them a few times, over six months after the wedding, after hearing nothing at all from them. We were certainly sympathetic to their issues--we just wished the communication had been better and that our expectations had been managed properly. The same issue continued for several months after. At one point, there was some confusion about the music for the wedding video. We were asked to provide music selections, and we thought we told them to use anything they wanted. (We also wondered why they were just now asking us for songs 6-7 months down the line!) When we checked in two months later, they hadn't done anything further because they said they were waiting on us to provide songs--whoops. If I had known, I certainly would have sent them some song selections sooner! I wished they had followed up with us more on that. We did finally receive a lovely, professional wedding video from Dyle Films, but it was nearly a year after our wedding date. Again, I hope that ours was a limited instance because of the sheer amount of footage they got, coupled with their family issues. With that said, and attempting to be understanding of serious family issues taking away from work, we just wish the communication had been better following the event. I would still recommend using Dyle Films because of the quality of the work. Be sure to simply communicate about timing and expectations after the event!

see our first look from a drone perspective! Chad and his team were with us all day! At some point, we felt that they were part of the wedding. If they didn't film the wedding, we would have put them on the guest list. Chad totally understood our concept while also finding ways to improve what we wanted. He and his team are professional and creative. I can't wait to see our trailer. If you have not seen a Dyle trailer, go treat yourself to a few. :) I also would recommend having the crew for all parts of your wedding (rehearsal dinner speeches, prep, ceremony, reception, second line). I can't thank Chad and his team enough for helping make our day even better!

had had come highly recommended from other friends. Having seen him in action at a few weddings, I didn't mind spending a little more for a vendor I trusted. My husband and I will be celebrating our first anniversary May 14, 2017 and still have not received our video. More disappointing than that, the communication has been horrible. Honestly, if I did not know others who had used this vendor I would have thought it was a scam and they ran off with my money. I was really trying to wait until we received our video so that I could get all giddy and leave a better review...but after sending yet another "just want to make sure you got my last email" after months of no response - I have to say something. I wish I would have gone with someone else. Spending over $3000 and then having to be the person that sends emails, follow ups and follow ups to follow ups with no response is beyond disappointing. It's like going to a restaurant where the food is probably delicious, you've heard it's delicious, all of the reviews say it's delicious, but you never got to try it because you were sitting at a table for 2 hours and your server hasn't come. Also, you paid in full before you got there and there is no one to answer your questions about when you can expect to eat. To future brides, local and destination - in today's competitive market, you can find a vendor who will make time to communicate with you. New Orleans is a top 10 wedding destination and their are so many wonderful vendors that are reasonably priced and take the time to get know you, communicate with you, and deliver beautiful memories of your special day. This is not that vendor.

ndors otherwise. While I can't have a do over, I hope you take this review into account when considering between Dyle and other vendors in NOLA.

o! Thanks to Chad and crew for recording the memories of our wedding day!

recommend them!

ing Dyle Films was one of the best decisions we made! The day goes by so fast and you miss so many moments. Watching the video gives you a point of view that you would never have experienced. It's your day and all of the most important people in your life are there to celebrate you as a couple, the video was our window to experience the little vignettes that we missed (since we were either cutting a cake, dancing or giving a speech!) Thank you, Chad, for making the day so special!

Dyle Films is worth every cent...they are ridiculously talented and truly capture the personality of you as a couple and the feel of your entire day. I had the pleasure to work with Chad and Dayna. Both are so down to earth, easy to work with, prompt, and just really nice people. It was truly a pleasure and a blessing having them around on our big day. I am so grateful for Dyle Films and there are not enough words to come close to how talented and amazing Chad and Dayna did for our wedding. If you are getting married... book them, you'll be happy you did and your wedding video will bring smiles each day you watch it. LOVE YALL :)

They knew how to capture every magical moment in our wedding! The trailer alone is such a a teaser bc you just want to see more! Some how our amazing best man forgot my ring and Dyle contacted us the very next day to tell us congratulations and that as soon as we got back from our honeymoon t to contact them so that they could film our rings since they were MIA wedding day!! Chad, his wife, and the team are amazing!!!!

time frame for completion or just to touch bases. I had to send numerous emails to finally get a response and their response was they are waiting on song selections from us and then everything would be done, and that I should email them in a couple weeks to check on it. I don't think I should have to track them down to inquire about services paid in full. They should have provided an update. I also asked could we add on a trailer to the package, I was told yes and the price. They then were very communicative until I sent the check for the trailer then no response for another few months. I was under the impression that everything was finished. The contract does state a 6-9 month wait which was ok, but we are just getting our completed video with less than a month to our 1 year anniversary. I would not recommend this company to other couples.

em 10 stars if I could :)

e event. When(or if- HA) I ever need my own wedding photographers I will not guess twice. Thank you so much my groovy friends!

pleased beyond Measure!!!!! Tory & Mindy Waljer

d easy to work with. They also had amazing equipment, including a 360 degree camera that took some awesome photos!! We can't wait to see our video, we know it will be incredible! I think they are a little of the pricier side, however, I feel that this vendor is worth the extra expense!! Thanks Dyle Films!!

eir website are just so beautiful and I knew that this was who I wanted to capture my wedding! And I was not disappointed! Chad was so nice and so lovely to work with from the time we booked to our our hugs goodbye once the reception ended. I honestly forgot that they were even present because they were so good about capturing the moments but not interrupting them! I would highly recommend Dyle Films and can't wait to see the footage from our wedding!

g and paid for it so i would have to say not to use them. If i have to give them a star I guess it would have to be a 1

alues the quality of what he creates. The wait was worth it, and now I have the most beautiful video to remember my wedding. I was very disappointed in my pictures from the wedding, and I talked with Chad about my expectations with my video. He knew how upset I was that my photos were not allowing me to have the memories I wanted. He went ABOVE and BEYOND on my video and is so easy to work with. He always answered my emails, he was extremely personable, and he values his relationships with his clients. If Chad Dyle is available for your wedding...don't look any farther for a videographer!

fun too. :) I can't recommend getting a videographer enough, especially a quality one like Dyle Films.

a response email until April. Now, more than 6 months later, still nothing.

day. Very nice and great to work with!

selected the best moments from our day. The trailer was a perfect tease and we can't wait to see the rest of the footage! HIGHLY recommend Dyle Films!

meant to us. We are a British couple who live in Antigua and so we got married on the island. We had a stripped down wedding with only 6 guests, so it was very important to us that family back in the UK could experience our wedding afterwards via a video that captured not just how I looked in the dress, but the spirit and the feel of the day. When your wedding memories are only preserved in the minds of the 8 people in attendance I cannot tell you how important your wedding video becomes. There are a lot fewer people for you to use the phrase "remember when..." with and the finer details are easily forgotten without the help of a video that artfully catches those moments. I work in the creative industries too and knew I would never forgive myself if I settled for anything less than the eye of creative perfection I was seeking in a videographer. We literally scoured the Earth to find a videographer we felt would do the essence of our day justice. We found him in New Orleans. I thought it was a long shot trying to get someone so talented to fly to our island and film the event - all within our budget. I picked up the phone and called to explain why we desperately needed Dyle Films to film our wedding. The first thing I learned about Chad Dyle on the phone that day is that he is a true believer in love. The second was that he does not shy away from a challenge. Less than three months later he was climbing derelict rooftops with us and driving through the rainforest on a cross-country adventure on our wedding day. For four days Dyle films perfectly captured our relationship, the island we call home, our wedding, and all the fun that surrounded it. At times the filming was so unobtrusive we were oblivious to the camera, at others Chad Dyle was on hand to actively help out if need be - at one point stepping forward with a first aid kit to save the day (the bride took a tumble down a sea splattered rock...). From our first conversation Dyle Films were regularly in touch gathering details of our plans for the big day, finding out the story behind how we fell in love, building a rapport, listening to my ideas and suggesting ones of their own for how best to encapsulate not just our wedding, but us. From highlighting in the video the importance of our tropical isle, to sculpting together shots of us being playful on the beach with those of our ceremony, Dyle Films created a wedding video that was a perfect continuum of the beautiful start of our journey into marriage. The quality of the images, sound, and creative execution is so good that we have had many comments about how the trailer could easily be for a Hollywood epic! The camera angles are flattering throughout and the use of a camera flying over-head has produced some of the most awe-inspiring shots we could have ever imagined. Dyle films did far more than film our day - they brought their own touch of magical to it.

s worked with Dyle Films. Even my fiancé thought Chad was a "rock star". We're confident in receiving a beautiful wedding video (one in which we can look forward to watching every anniversary). Thank you!

finitely look forward to watching the videos again for many years to come. The trailers were absolutely perfect. You can see the amount of time and dedication that went into the editing. The videographer made a point to be unseen but still capture all the great moments. Chad is wonderful to work with. He always responds to emails, calls, and makes sure to answer any questions or help you in any way possible. I would recommend to future brides.

raphy went beautifully together. They captured every special moment and every emotion on film. We’ve had so many people tell us that the video got them in tears because it was so sweet and beautiful! Every time we watch the video over, everything from that special day came flowing back with great emotion and beauty! On the wedding day, they were very professional and never once made anyone feel like they were intrusive with their cameras. But I knew they were there capturing all of the special moments from my bridal prep to the ceremony to the reception. Chad even bought out his drone for us to capture some amazing shots from up top! They got us doing a few silly moves but made everyone really comfortable and we had such a good time. Our asian ceremonies and traditions are generally very long but they were so patient and never complained once. We highly recommend Dyle Films to whomever wants a memorable masterpiece!

ding planner by trade, they treated me as a bride on my wedding day. I never felt rushed or pushed into anything I didn't want to do and I love looking back on our video. Chad and the entire Dyle team are top notch and will go above and beyond to deliver the best video possible!

ecial days in my daughters' lives. As the wedding day goes by so fast I am so happy to have these videos to look back on and re-remember things we might have forgotten. I definitely would recommend Dyle Films to any bride and groom looking to add a special remembrance to their most special day!!

esearched high and low for the best team to capture our big day and Dyle Films was it. Our video seems like a movie and when I show others the reaction is unspeakable. My wedding was fun and really the best day of my life and Chad and his team really captured it. One of the other things I enjoy about the video is seeing my mother on it. She passed away last year and I watch my wedding video over and over just to see her. The customer service is great too. I emailed Chad about getting a video centered on her and he remembers my husband and I. That means a lot to me, especially since his team films so many weddings a year, including celebrities. Now that we have a son (our honeymoon baby we prayed for) we watch it with him. He's still young but he likes seeing mommy and daddy on "T.V". I am so happy we budgeted for a high quality film that we can enjoy for the rest of our lives. The value is irreplaceable.

is getting married.

he two things capturing all the memories of our big day. Our photographer gave us recommendations of videographers she's worked with in the past, and Dyle Films was at the top of her list. When looking for a videographer, we wanted someone who would be professional yet willing to have fun with us, and it was apparent that would be the case when we first met Chad Dyle. Our initial meeting had us rolling on the floor laughing-- he had our kind of humor-- and my mom couldn't stop talking about how much fun she had at the meeting. We loved the video clips we saw, we loved his playful attitude, the fact they had a photo booth add-on option was a big plus, and that he didn't even bat an eye at it being a same-sex wedding sealed the deal for us. Since our wedding and reception were going to be a short affair, we booked the 5hr package (no bridal prep) and the photo booth add-on (because we love to see our family and friends get crazy and zany for photos). Chad was always quick to answer any and all questions we had and was patient with us when it took us ages to get back to him. They made sure to confirm everything with us a week or so before the big day and were right on time at our venue the day-of. They had two cameras documenting the day, and they were right there for every tear-inducing and belly-laughing moment we had. The whole day went by so fast that when the end came, I realized I hadn't gotten to use the photo booth that had just been shut down (save for the moment when my wife and I shoved wedding cake all over each other's faces and decided to capture the moment in the photo booth). Chad immediately set up his video camera in place of the photo booth camera, telling us he could pull stills from the video. We put on boxing gloves and had at it-- and by the end Chad was directing us in a slow-motion, spit-take boxing match out on the lawn. It was a fantastic end to the day. We haven't seen the video yet (because we are taking forever to pick out the songs we want to use), but we can't wait to see what they were able to capture. I highly recommend Dyle Films-- 100%! We couldn't have asked for a better videographer for our wedding day.

ew friends. And I am so very glad I was referred to Dyle Films. I now have a beautiful, superb quality video of our wedding. The trailer add-on was the perfect way to share on facebook and through email a more-manageable version of the video for friends and family far away, the recaps on the DVD itself are great, and the footage in all its entirety is worth every penny. I couldn't have asked for anything better.

us rooms and a variety of entertainment to enjoy. Dyle Films managed to capture it all breathtakingly. Chad is creative, fun, professional, and so down to earth - to make things better, he knows all the other great vendors in NOLA and works with them seamlessly. I love my trailer, my video, and all the special moments on tape that I missed in the flurry. Book them!! Now! They simply are THE best. Thanks, y'all!

ing and the actual wedding day, Dyle Films was fantastic to work with. Everything was so easy and they knew exactly what they were doing. Every big moment that happened throughout our big day, somehow they were right there capturing it without a doubt. Then, there is the actual video which came out amazing. If you are debating about getting a trailer, do it! I am thrilled about our video and am so thankful to have all of those memories on film. Obviously, I highly recommend Dyle Films!
