We have nothing but great things to say about Ed Luft and his asssitant. They were attentive, professional, and thoughtful. They made our wedding day feel at ease. We absolutely loved our wedding video and received so many compliments from family and friends. 12/10 would recommend!!!
We loved working with Ed! He was so easy to communicate with and made sure to capture all the details we discussed on film. Him and Mark were a great, easy going and artistic team that made working with them on our wedding day a stress free experience. We love our video and will be watching it for years to come!
We worked with Ed and he was wonderful. He was easy to communicate with, was organized and professional. On the day of the wedding, he was friendly and made me feel comfortable... and I am not a person who at normally feels comfortable in front of the camera! I think his prices are competitive when compared to other local videographers. He was there for he entire day and his work was wonderful. We were very happy with the videos he gave us... a gift to be able to watch and relive the day.
I had the best wedding day experience with this team they went above and beyond to make sure I was happy the entire day my video is beyond amazing I would recommend them over and over again thank you all so much for helping me celebrate one of the happiest days of my life!
Ed and Derek are amazing. You will definitely want to use them as your videographer for your wedding. First off they have the best packages compared to others. Other vendors will give you a 5-7 minute long video. Elegant films has multiple package options based on what you are looking for and your price point. We did the full length feature film. We got a sneak peak video we were able to share on social media that was really well done. It tells the story of our day in just 2 minutes. I've rewatched it countless times and have only had the video for a month! It's so well done.
Then we got our full length feature film which for ours was about 30 minutes long. That's unheard of to have a wedding video that long!! Usually it's 5-7 minutes. It included the entire ceremony, first dance, speeches, cake cutting and little bits through out the day like getting ready and the reception. It is everything we were looking for.
Ed and Derek are so nice and easy to work with. They honestly just kind of hide out in the background and you don't even know they are there on your wedding day. Most of the time I forgot they were there and they took these awesome shots. There were a lot of little moments captured in the video where I didn't know it happened because I was in a different room or forgot about. They got along well with my photographer. They are really nice people and enjoy their work and it clearly shows. I can't recommend them enough. We are so happy we chose them for our wedding!
We really can't say enough good things about working with Ed and Mark!! From the first time we spoke to Ed we knew we were in good hands. He answered questions we didn't even know we had and helped us come up with a good working timeline for the day of the wedding as well. On our wedding day both Ed and Mark were so fun to be around and Mark even suggested some additional poses our photographer didn't think of for her to take pictures of us in. They were a great addition to a fun day and don't even get me started on our video, it is absolutely perfect and made us and our families cry happy tears. We even got our video before our pictures! Thank you Ed and Mark for being so great!!
We absolutely loved our experience with Elegant Films!! From our initial contact with Ed, we knew he was the videographer for us. He is kind, thorough, and organized. He answered all of our questions and we immediately felt at ease with him. Ed and Mark were such a happy addition to our wedding day. They captured every important detail and created videos we will treasure for years to come. We cannot recommend Elegant Films enough!!!
We loved working with Ed and Mark! Our photographers also loved working with them, they were so easy going! Partied with us all night long! I would absolutely hire them again!
We used Elegant Films for our wedding a few weeks ago and loved them! Ed and his second shooter, Mark, were incredible and unobtrusive throughout the entire day and stayed until the end of the night. They were both so kind and easy to work with. Elegant Films was also very affordable considering the service you receive. I would highly recommend them to anyone!
Ed was great to work with, had to book him last minute after rescheduling the wedding due to Covid. The grooms family wasn't able to attend due to international travel bans, and he was great in working with us to try and accommodate them. He and the second shooter were very unobtrusive. We're very happy with the products he's given us!
We could not have asked for a better videographer for our big (turned little) day! Ed was one of the most accommodating vendors we worked through as we navigated different iterations of our COVID wedding. He was always able to talk through details but we felt comfortable knowing at the end of the day, he had things under control (even if we felt like we didn't). I cannot stress enough how professional he is and when we got our videos back it was like we relived that day over and over and will have this to hold on to for the rest of our lives. He is worth every penny you will spend with him and we found him to be very cost effective considering some of the options out there. WE LOVED ED - and I still text him to this day to tell him this :)
Wow! Elegant Films was absolutely amazing! We can’t thank Ed and Mark enough for doing such a great job! Ed was so easy to work with and communicated ever step of the process in the most efficient way possible! With having to postpone due to COVID - he made it so easy to reschedule and made it stress free for us! They captured all of the most important parts of our day and made the most intimate and beautiful highlight film I’ve ever seen! I think I’ve already watched in 10 times and cried every time! Ed and Mark are so professional and were such a pleasure to work with! They exceeded all expectations and we’re sooooo happy we chose to work with them! Thank you Ed and Mark!
Ed was fantastic to work with! Spending our special day with him was lovely. He has such a fun personality and really captured everything we wanted in our wedding video! He was so much fun to have with us on our wedding day and our wedding film is amazing...we just watch it over and over again!
Ed and his partner were absolutely amazing! He followed me around getting every aspect of the day, including getting ready at the salon, but I hardly even noticed he was there. Ed sent me my sneak peak in under a month and mailed my full length ONE HOUR wedding video just 3 weeks following. He perfectly captured the day and every detail of both the ceremony and reception. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding video, it was beyond my expectations and then some. Elegant Films gave me a way to remember the best day of our life forever and I couldn't thank them anymore!
Ed was absolutely phenomenal! He traveled all the way from Kentucky to Indianapolis for our wedding! Our video production is fantastic and completely embodies our wedding day beautifully. He is such a nice person and was completely professional and outstanding throughout the entire wedding process! I would recommend him every time!
We really enjoyed working with Ed and his hard work — we had a couple special requests and he was willing and able to accommodate us. We had several meetings beforehand to be sure that we both were on the same page as to what we wanted from our videographer. He agreed to do a Save-the-Date video for us too; it was spectacular. He was affordable and provided us a series of great products. We watch our videos often!
I cannot possibly say enough great things about Ed and his film partner Mark! From my initial email for information through following up with me to ensure I enjoyed the film, Ed’s communication was AMAZING. He went above and beyond to make sure he got everything I wanted and to communicate with me his timeline for the day of and delivery of our video (which he was SPOT on with!). I was beyond impressed and happy with his professionalism and how friendly and great he was to work with! He made my husband and I comfortable immediately.
Before we even got to the day of our wedding, Ed answered every one of my million questions quickly and nicely. He explained everything to me and handled contact with my photographer and DJ to work out details with them for sound accessibility and shooting plans. As a total control freak, it was amazing to feel fully comfortable letting him do his thing and knowing it would be perfect!
On the day of, they both arrived perfectly on time and let me know to just go about the day normally and they’d capture it all. And did they ever! When we received our sneak peek trailer just a couple weeks after the wedding, I was so in love with it that I was instantly in tears. It was PERFECT. Beautiful, natural, capturing everything I had hoped he would and more. I couldn’t wait for the full-length film! We received our full-length film exactly within the timeframe he told us to expect (and was wonderful about confirming our address and that we received it) and it is AMAZING. They captured absolutely everything. All our special moments. All our décor. All the interactions throughout the day both before and after events began all the way through our sendoff.
I truly can’t say enough about how happy I am to have had Ed and Mark shoot our wedding. I would recommend them to everyone and I thank Ed, again, for making our day special and shooting a film to help us relive it forever.
We absolutely loved working with Elegant Films!! Ed was very responsive leading up to our wedding date, the team was amazing the day of and great to work with! The team was fun, friendly and helped make our day go off without a hitch! We loved the extra touch of the secret interviews from each of us that didn’t get revealed until our video was complete! The end result was an amazing video that we will cherish forever!
Ed was with my family and I throughout the whole day and was super on top of things! I really felt like he went the extra mile to accommodate what I wanted. Ive watched the video multiple times and love it more and more each time! I recommend him in a heart beat to anyone!
Ed wad professional, skilled and unobtrusive. He captured details we even missed. The quality of the film was top notch. You can see why Ed has won awards. Book him. You won't be sorry.
Ed and his team were beyond amazing. I would consider them my "best find" during wedding planning. I found them online and from the first contact with Ed, could tell he would be a perfect fit for us (a laid back, not over the top type of couple who definitely didn't want cheesy). At first we weren't even considering having a videographer due to budget, but after asking around, everyone said they either regretted not hiring one or were so glad they did. The day goes by so fast and Ed was there from the very beginning to the last song and caught everything! There were parts that we didn't get to see, but Ed included in the final video which we watched with tears of joy. Definitely worth the price!! I love that he includes another videographer so there's footage with both the bridesmaids and groomsmen. (I loved getting to see what the guys were doing before the wedding!) Net, you can't go wrong with Ed and Elegant Films and I would recommend him over and over again.
Ed was easily the best vendor we dealt with throughout the entire wedding planning process and on our wedding day. A few weeks before our wedding, Ed interviewed my husband and I separately with questions about one another that he then used as an amazing addition to our wedding video! We were both in tears (and neither of us cry very easily!). The day of the wedding Ed spent the full day with the ladies and his partner was with the guys. We barely knew he was there and made us all extremely comfortable.
I cannot give enought praise to Ed. His pricing was beyond fair, and, while cheaper than some other videographers we considered, provided more value and a much better product. Our video is the best memory we have from our big day.
Not having a videographer was the biggest regret I heard over and over from so many married couples, and now I completely understand why. The day went by so fast and was such a blur. Thanks to Elegant Films we'll be able to vividly remember our big day for a lifetime!
I could not have asked for a more perfect wedding video! Ed was so amazing and fit in so well with the wedding party that we didn't even realize he was there. Awesome video that my family and I will cherish forever!
Ed and Mark were amazing! It felt like they had just as much fun capturing the wedding as the guests. They get every detail without ever being in the way of us or our guests. The day flies by and as the bride, you don't get to experience every little detail that you'd like to. I can't wait to watch the video and see all of the little things that I missed. After my younger brother got engaged at my wedding (my idea) Ed even offered to make them a short video clip for free of their engagement. At the beginning of wedding planning I wasn't convinced that a videographer was needed but am so glad I changed my mind. Use Elegant Films, you won't be sorry!
These guys were so wonderful! Not only was the wedding video great, but they were just so much fun to work with. There was a camera man with both the bride and groom all day, and there was no limit to the amount of time spent recording. I wasn't sure how it'd be having a camera in our face the whole time getting ready, but Ed made us feel so comfortable! At times, we even forgot he was there. :) I would definitely reccomend Elegant Films to anyone. We have so many memories on film that we'll never forget.
I absolutely loved my video! Ed was such a pleasure to work with. The video was a great quality and everyone who watched it loved it. There was lots that as the bride I didn't get to see the day of the wedding, but with the video I got to see it all. I would highly recommend Elegant Films!
Your wedding day is over in a blink of an eye. You plan for months and months and invest so much time, money, and emotion into this one day! I knew I wanted a videographer right from the beginning. Pictures help you to remember but it's nothing like actually seeing yourself walk down the aisle and remembering the butterflies in your stomach or catching something the pastor said that you didn't hear before because you were just trying not to pass out! I knew I didn't want just a regular video I wanted it to have character and be unique to me and my husband. I chose Elegant Films and could not be happier with my decision. From the beginning Ed was the nicest guy to deal with and was always quick to respond to my emails. He even interviewed us prior to the wedding to get to know us better and then incorporated this into the video. He came to us in Columbus Ohio for the interview and travelled back to our hometown in Spencerville Ohio for the wedding. Ed was so nice and respectful to our family and friends and fit right in. He was never in your face with the camera or tried to rehearse anything. He just stood back and let the real thing happen and caught it all in a beautiful way. I love our wedding video and want to watch it all the time now to help bring back to life one of the most important days of my life!
When my husband and I started planning our wedding, we did not think we needed a videographer. After advice from friends, we decided to hire one. We found Elegant Films' website and loved Ed's style. Ed was so great about accommodating our busy weekend schedule to do our interviews and always being available. With an assistant, he spent the entire day of the wedding filming as we got ready. Ed was so great about not being intrusive, but getting great shots! At the wedding, Ed had great views from the entire ceremony, but managed to not be in any of the photographer's shots. The "coming soon" teaser was so exciting and fun to watch. As soon as my husband and I received our full video we watched it. The quality is great and the memories are so fun! We got to see details we didn't even notice on the day of the wedding. Ed interviewed special people in our lives and included that in the film as well. I teared up as i listed to the marriage advice he filmed my grandparents sharing for us. We will definitely cherish our video forever. Ed did a more amazing job than we ever imagined!
Ed Luft is an AMAZING videographer! He definitely shot every detail of our wedding day; including the setting up of the venue, the whole ceremony, all the speeches, and dances. I would definitely recommend Elegant Films for your wedding. Ed is very easy to get along with and is very professional, always prompt reply via text, email or calls which helps so much during wedding planning! He was on time and very professional on our wedding day. The video turned out absolutely INCREDIBLE! He gave us a total of 2 DVDs, and 1 Blu-Ray.
He went above and beyond by adding in some deleted scenes which provided extra laughs at the end of the video. He also interviewed each one of us separately a few weeks prior to the wedding and put our answers to old pictures of us from when we were dating!
I would highly recommend Elegant Films to any couples getting married. One of the biggest regrets I've heard is skipping out on a wedding videographer. I am SO happy that we didn't, and that we hired probably the best videographer company around this area.
My fiancé and I met Ed at our venue and walked through basically what I wanted in our video. Ed put us at ease and explained how many cameras he thought it would take and basically where he would have them positioned in order to get the perfect shots in the video.
The finally product exceeded our expectations and both of our parents loved having a DVD copy of the wedding.
I would highly recommend Ed and Elegant Films to anyone.
My fiancé and I were on the fence when deciding if we wanted to hire a videographer for our wedding. We did a lot of research and came across Elegant Films. Ed was luckily available for our wedding date and it was easily the best decision we made for our wedding day. Ed and Mark were there for the entire day, by our sides, capturing each and every special moment. We received our "teaser" film and DVDs quickly after our wedding day. The video was incredible; we were so pleased with Ed's attention to detail and the entire presentation. I will recommend Ed with Elegant Films to all of my friends and family. We are so happy we found Elegant Films!
Ed Luft with Elegant Films was great! He met with us prior to the wedding and really wanted to know what we were expecting out of the video. He stayed in contact with us throughout the entire process and listened to what we wanted. He was great to work with and went above and beyond to ensure we were completely satisfied with our video. We now have a beautiful video that captures everything we loved about our wedding day! Highly recommend them!
