Hands down, the best and easiest vendor we hired! My husband and I live in NYC but we were getting married in Seattle. Tamara was quick to respond to our questions, was super responsive throughout the planning stages and were willing to work ar...ound our tight schedule the one day we were in Seattle before the wedding. All things that were tremendously helpful when planning a wedding from NYC. We ordered the Emerald Package, which includes all the types of videos you could ever want or need from your wedding at an incredibly affordable price. Not only that but Tamara and her team were flexible and willing to change out a couple of the videos for other things that fit our needs. For example, instead of several highlight videos of varying lengths, they worked with us to set up a video guestbook where our guests could leave well wishes and advice during cocktail hour. Tamara was so supportive and flexible to all the different ways we wanted to capture our wedding.
But the real reason we are so pleased with Emerald Media is the quality of their work. So many of our guests said they cried all over again after watching our wedding video. The quality is crisp, clean, and clear. We wanted our videographer to take a cinematic approach to editing. Watching the videos, you definitely feel like you are starring in your own movie. Without much caption or commentary, the editing was done in a way where the clips tell the story. It was exactly what we wanted. They were also non-intrusive throughout the ceremony and reception. Tamara arrived on time to our bridal suite and worked seamlessly with our photographer to capture all the important moments of the day. I don't think I saw them once during the reception but it is obvious from the footage that they did not miss a single moment. They were just that good.
If all of this wasn't enough, Tamara stood out once again for how quickly she turned around her work. In less than two weeks, Tamara had already completed our Thank You video and our Highlight Video. The rest of our videos arrived in the mail beautifully packaged, wrapped in twine with an attached note thanking US for letting them be a part of our wedding. Our DVDs have our printed images from the wedding and the flash drive is engraved with our names. It's these extra touches that go a long way.
Needless to say, Emerald Video was a pleasure to work with. Honestly, there is a reason they are so highly rated. I can go on and on about how wonderful they were to work with. If you are looking for a videographer, book them now!
