My husband and I were on the fence about hiring a videographer as we had already gone over budget with other vendors. We shopped around and grew more hesitant as we saw estimates come through. Once we met Dan though, we were floored by his expertise, how down to earth he was and how fair his packages were. He was the vendor I was most excited about and he didn’t disappoint. He swooped in when we needed him (for video things and his help with perfecting the knot to my husband’s tie) otherwise he stayed so blended within the background, we barely knew he was there. He’s so passionate about his work and his clients, we loved having him be such a positive part in our perfect day. We signed on for the 3 minute video and the 60 minute extended version and everyone who has watched them so far has been so impressed with how perfect he captured everything. None of it felt forced or staged. I feel like I’m a very awkward person but I didn’t sense that in any part of the videos. They were perfect. Thank you so much, Dan! We’re so glad we found you!!
Our photographer recommended Dan and we could not have been more pleased with our wedding videos!! Dan helped capture all the memories of our summer camp wedding in September of 2023. The teaser and full length video that he shot and composed for us brought tears to our eyes and we are so glad to have these memories forever. Dan was extremely professional, personable, and is very skilled at his craft. He has a great eye for video composition and framing that I've not seen in other wedding videos. He used his drone for an establishing shot capturing the camp, which was an awesome touch. Not only that, but the transitions and music he uses for your video are perfectly timed and you can tell Dan puts a lot of effort and time into crafting a unique video for your specific wedding. If you are on the fence about having a videographer - do not be - get Dan our your wedding team!! We cannot recommend him enough and are extremely grateful for the memories he was able to capture on video.
Dan was extremely responsive, professional, and easy going throughout the whole process. My husband and I were super nervous about being in front of a camera but Dan made us feel so comfortable and like we were hanging out with an old friend!! He is such a nice, down to earth guy and will absolutely make your wedding day so fun and relaxed.
If you are looking for a videographer, do not look any further! Hiring Dan at Elevated Memories was the best decision we made for our wedding. We weren't sure if we needed a videographer, but I am SO glad we did. Watching the video is like reliving the day and I am so grateful that Dan was there to capture it on film. The quality of the video is incredible and it was edited so beautifully. Dan went above and beyond to make our day extra special and capture all of our beautiful moments. He was professional, so kind and you never felt like there was a video camera in your face, which made it comfortable and easy to act naturally. If you are unsure about videography or who to chose for a videographer, this is your sign to book Elevated Memories to capture your special day. It flies by and you'll be so happy you had Dan there to capture it! Worth every penny. Thank you Dan, SO MUCH, for your exceptional work. You are truly magic.
Dan was absolutely amazing to work with throughout the entire process! He made it easy and made everyone laugh and feel comfortable. He also worked so well with my photographer. The end result of our film took my breath away. He honestly captured every single moment. I wouldn't second guess getting a videographer- it truly is SO worth it. You can't go wrong with picking Dan!!
Dan was a great videographer! He worked seamlessly with our photographer, even though they were two separate businesses. They did have experience working together previously, which was quite obvious by the way they were able to tackle each big moment they wanted to capture- as a team. Dan was personable, friendly, professional and super communicative. Def recommend!
Absolutely amazing to work with! There was great communication throughout all the planning and the final product was more than we could've ever asked for! We cannot say enough nice things!
We hired Elevated Memories for our wedding and were beyond happy with the results. Dan & his team are extremely professional and have great attitudes -- they were cool & calm on the day, full of smiles, and were able to make us laugh and get the best out of my wife and I on a day where that matters most. We really enjoyed having them there with us and quickly forgot about the cameras, which made us able to live in the moment. They were also up for trying to capture some cute moments that came to us as ideas on the spot -- for example, our Maid of Honor had an idea for a moment with sparklers, and Dan + team quickly got us set up, captured some video, and made it look AMAZING -- especially for working it out on the spot!
And the results speak for themselves -- the video(s) we got back from Dan are exceptional. They made my wife and I look incredible, captured tons of beautiful moments including candid ones of us connecting with friends and family. Great shots, great lighting, and fantastic editing throughout the final video -- PLUS he provided us with all of the raw footage & audio so that we have TONS of extra footage to look through and see moments that we missed in person. All of our friends and family who saw the final video were blown away by the quality.
Elevated Memories are great to work with on your wedding day, and also produce fantastic, high-quality video when it's ready. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking a videographer -- these guys will not let you down. Thank you, Dan & Team!
We could not be happier having found Dan to capture such a special day! Dan is extremely professional and easy going. he was a very calming presence to have with us on this joyful but also busy day. He was very flexible and focused on making sure we were stressed at any point leading up to the wedding or on the day of the wedding. he responded to us quickly and made sure to capture all of the special moments. I 100% recommend Dan and his team, he will have you laughing, he'll keep you calm and he will create an ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL video that you will have forever.
Wow, cannot say enough positive things about our videographer. Dan went above and beyond to capture all the beautiful moments of our special day. He documented all the little moments that sometimes go unnoticed but ultimately make all the difference. He was flexible with our schedule and stayed in constant communication with us throughout the whole process. He even helped us to feel less awkward during our photoshoot by telling funny jokes. Highly recommend!!!!!
If you are looking for a professional who delivers quality work - look no further. Dan and his team are phenomenal at getting the job done, staying out of the way, and capturing all the key moments. 10/10 would recommend!
We could not be more happy with our choice to work with Dan from Elevated Memories. He was so professional throughout the process and was very responsive. His work really added to the experience and we are so happy to have these videos to remember the day by. We cannot recommend Dan enough!!
Dan and his partner Craig were phenomenal! They arrived early to get some beautiful shots of the venue and we’re friendly and overall great to work with! Their equipment is top of the line, and they both work extremely professional while being flexible with our requests. Within 3 weeks we had received our wedding video. The video was extremely high quality with modern and smooth transitions. All of the footage was clear and movie quality showcasing our elegant venue at 60 State Place. We couldn’t have asked for a better videographer than Elevated Memories. Please consider them before any other videographers as you will not be disappointed!
Dan went far above and beyond our expectations. We were hesitant to get a videographer in the first place due to cost, but Dan was able to provide us with fantastic work at a reasonable price. We were thrilled with the quality, speed, and attention to detail. Above all, Dan was extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. Our final video was absolutely beautiful and a wonderful memento of our special day that we will have for a long time. I would not hesitate to recommend Elevated Memories to anyone looking for a great videographer at an excellent price. Thank you Dan!
Dan and Craig are great to work with and they take the extra time to really make your vision for your wedding come true. As someone that isn’t a fan of being the center of attention I thought it would be awkward having videographers present while I was getting ready, as a testament to their professionalism and their ability to blend into the situation I barely noticed they were there, and now I am beyond grateful for all the genuine unscripted moments they captured.
Everyone knows their wedding day will be a whirlwind; I am so happy I chose Elevated Memories because I am able to watch the recorded moments and see things I wasn’t there for, or that blurred past in speed of the day. The story telling in the edited video is enough to make me smile, tear up, and laugh all in the span of a few minutes. I know, without a doubt, I made the choice to hire them!
I went back and forth on a videographer and truth be told, I hired Dan originally to capture memories of loved ones with terminal illness. Unfortunately, those family members were unable to attend but I kept him as a vendor to livestream the ceremony. It started out as a logical decision to meet a need. What I got from him was so much more than I was expecting and I could not be happier with the results. Dan captured the entire wedding and the rehearsal from the morning until the end of the reception. The video embodies all the love and emotion that I felt on my wedding day and I get to replay it over and over again. I wasn't sure if I wanted a videographer but it was one of the best last minute additions I made. In addition to being communicative and reasonably priced (with a very straightforward package), you get all of the raw data as well. For me, this resulted in some hilarious "bloopers" and extra material that I didn't get to see day of (groomsmen shots, videos of the guests, etc.). Do yourself a favor and hire Dan to capture your special day, you will have a truly masterful display of those memories!
Dan & Craig were so fantastic to work with. They captured all of the important wedding memories so beautifully. When I got the highlight video of the wedding I was absolutely amazed with the quality. I would 100% recommend them!
I couldn't be more pleased to have the video that Dan created for us. Everyone tells you your wedding day is going to be a whirlwind. Unfortunately, knowing that in advance does not help slow things down. If not for this video, I'd have missed countless moments, despite my desperate attempts to take it all in as it was happening. As for planning, Dan was really helpful during that phase. He got a sense of what we were looking for and took note of some key moments that were especially important to us. I think it is also worth noting that he worked very well with my other vendors. They were a seamless dream team. If you are on the fence about whether you should hire a videographer, you should. And it should be Dan. You won't regret either of those decisions.
Dan is amazing!! He is so easy to work with and captured every special moment of the night. He created a truly breathtaking highlights video that perfectly told our story of the day. He also gave us all of our raw footage which was priceless. Every time I watch the video I cry because I treasure the ability to go back and relive that day as many times as I want. I 100% reccomend Dan!
