Eric Blanks makes the best cinematic videos period, stop reading this review and just save yourself the time you would be wasting searching anywhere else. We fell in love with Eric’s talent by viewing his portfolio and cinematic style so much that we flew him and his assistant to Pittsburgh from Atlanta and it was worth every penny. First off, Eric is such a pleasure to work with and was completely amenable to all of our requests. We were so thankful to have booked him for our wedding and for a trash the dress session the following day. Eric even took time to separately film beautiful attractions, scenery, and the venue separate from our filming. We were truly blessed to have him and his assistant Javier Mcintosh (also phenomenal) to film our special weekend. They each captured the separate bridal parties while we were getting ready and we had such a great time with them. They went above and beyond our expectations and we could not have had a better videographer capture our big day/weekend. The trash the dress the next day was such a blast, even though we were all not “from” the Pittsburgh area, we found a great location and got props to make it happen. From going into water fountains, water guns, hammocks, silly string, and outdoor museum exhibiting, we could not have planned a better day if we tried. Thank you Eric for your excellence and artistry, we absolutely CANNOT wait to see the footage from our wedding day and the trash the dress! For anyone else still reading this, stop immediately and contact Eric Blanks for any of your videography needs!

A bride usually refers to her wedding day as the most amazing day of her life...yet a day that went by too fast. If you want this day to be captured for eternity...hire ERIC BLANKS immediately. He is more than a videographer. He is a cinematic genius.
The day that went by too fast, Eric beautifully captured...start to finish. My film was truly unbelievable. From the second it started the emotion, the tears, the LOVE of that day all came crashing back. It was overwhelming. Perfect. I couldn't have asked for anything more. His work is so inclusive that anyone who sees it who wasn't there, will feel as though they were.
I am so grateful to Eric and his team. Without his genius, the most amazing day of my life would have turned into a faint memory. Now, I can relive it over and over again. I promise you won't be disappointed.

“Magical” is the word that comes to mind when I think of Eric Blanks. Never would I have dreamed seeing my wedding come to life the way that he put everything together. He spent a lot of time with my husband and I – getting to know us and capturing all of the behind the scene moments that were just as special as us walking down the aisle. His creativity is unmatched and every time that I look at my wedding story, I cry as if I am reliving it all over again. I cannot thank him enough for all of the seemingly effortless time that he put into making our wedding special. He definitely made my wedding “The surprise of a lifetime”.

Eric is awesome! He was super punctual the day of my wedding, and he went to work the moment he got there. Corresponding with him in the days leading up to my wedding was so easy because he responded promptly and didn't leave anything unanswered. He had such cool ideas that I never would have thought of. He's a young man with a keen eye for his craft and his appreciation for it shows through his work and work ethic. Thanks so much, Eric!

“WOW!” This is the one word response I've received from every person who has seen our wedding video. It was truly a pleasure to work with someone who has mastered their craft. Eric went over and beyond to create a keepsake that I will forever treasure.
Eric was professional, prompt and always available if I needed to contact him. On the day of my wedding he and his assistant were so good that I didn’t know they were filming much of the time. What I really appreciated about him was his love and passion for what he does. He was just as excited about filming my wedding as I was about getting married.
Eric was extremely flexible on my wedding day. Our timeline was revamped time and time again throughout the day but he never once mentioned it. He simply rolled with the punches even when it affected things he was trying to accomplish. I was so worried about when we would film certain things that we had planned to but he assured me that my wedding video would turn out great!
Great is an understatement for what he created! The cinematic trailer for our wedding is off the charts! I couldn’t have asked for more. You only get one shot at getting it right and if you’re like me you aren’t willing to gamble. Hire Eric Blanks; you won’t regret it!!
