We worked with Event Media Production for our wedding (which was last summer, so well before COVID, thankfully), and it was a bit of a mixed bag. We met one of the owners in person and she seemed lovely and was very helpful in working through t...
he contract and clarifying what would be included, such as access to all raw footage. We didn’t meet our videographer in person until the day of the wedding, but we had a call with him to talk about his style and he seemed like a great fit. He was a bit rough around the edges sometimes and he seemed rushed while filming, but he was funny and kind. The raw footage he got was, for the most part, also beautiful and it captured the emotional moments very well. There were some things that I was surprised he missed, like my husband’s expression when I started walking down the aisle and full-body shots of our first dance, which means I disappear from the frame each time my husband dips me. That was disappointing. The highlight video they put together missed moments that felt important to us, too, like the flower girls and ring bearers walking down the aisle, but we shared our feedback and ended up with a clip that we liked. The full-length video took a long time to put together – weeks longer than the 18-week maximum that was stated in our contract – and we were so underwhelmed by it. The transitions from one part of the day to the next were choppy, at best, and they entirely left out our reception. We went from the ceremony to the cake-cutting to the grand exit. We felt so deflated watching it, and we ended up looking through the raw footage and seeing so many incredible moments that we wished had been included. We appreciate that they needed to stay within a time limit for the full-length video, but if they had talked to us for five minutes on the phone about what mattered to us they could have delivered a great product. We expected a much better result with the cost of their service and the way they advertise themselves as cinematic storytellers. Our story was well-captured by the videographer but not the editor, so my husband edited the full-length video they sent to include some of the most precious moments so we could have a wedding video we actually enjoy watching. If you decide to hire them for your wedding, I would highly encourage you to request all the raw footage in case you have a similar experience.

Hi Fatima! Thank you for your feedback. We are always looking to improve, so we appreciate you taking the time to write such a detailed review. I will do my best to address some of your concerns. I am not sure what you mean by the videographer ...
“was a bit rough around the edges sometimes”. It would have been helpful to contact me with this concern right after the wedding so I can address the issue. In fact, your words were: “Lawrence did a great job capturing many big and small moments throughout our day, which we absolutely loved to see.” Our clients always have the last say in the editing part. That’s why we addressed all your suggestions for the highlight and delivered a product you loved. This is a quote from the email you sent regarding the highlight: “What a beautiful video! I got teary-eyed watching this and seeing all the kids. Thank you for making the edits. The short video is fabulous - thank you so much for making it perfect for us!!” Regarding the longer version of the video, I informed you from the first time we’ve met that this will include: the full ceremony, first dance, speeches, cake cutting. Basically, the most important moments. If the 45 min have been reached after editing these moments, we are not obligated to include parts from the reception. Also, the 45 minutes are edited in a standard style, and not cinematic. This was a special package that you decided purchasing and the price was customized and considerably lower in comparison to the other packages. This was your choice of the package and I hope you agree when I say you were fully aware from the beginning of what was included. We do offer the opportunity to add more edited footage for an extra cost, but since you have never contacted us regarding this until now, we did not know you were not satisfied. Also, this special package includes one videographer and since we proudly call ourselves cinematic storytellers, we like to get candid shots during the first dance, and not a wide shot. I am sorry that the cinematic style is not one that fits your taste. The raw footage was an additional item we added to your special package. Regarding the timeline, yes, there were delays, but we were focusing on addressing all your concerns to the video. Once we need to re-edit parts of the video, we need to put in additional hours of work. I am sure you understand. Once again, thank you for providing us this valuable feedback and please feel free to contact me via email if you have additional suggestions. Thank you!

EMP truly goes above and beyond! Absolutely STUNNING video!!! Looks like our own movie, not just a video of the day. Very skilled team. I couldn't have been more happy with the service and end product provided by the Event Media Production team...
for our wedding! I was so happy I decided to go with them, and I can admit that I was very picky about it. I was given the great advice to get a videographer if you're on the fence about it. So a video was extremely important to us, even more so than the photography, because a video will capture your family's mannerisms, emotions, speeches, dancing, etc in ways that photos can't. Photos on the walls can quickly be replaced by kid photos but a video you'll keep forever to remember your special day.
With the EMP team, I had a lot of comfort that we were in good hands, beginning from the first time I met with them. My then fiancé and I felt they were genuinely excited to film our wedding, and it was great to feel their special attention. It was an outdoor wedding with different locations for where we got ready, the ceremony and the reception, and they were very accommodating to go to each location in order to capture the full story. We also had them film the night before, which was a welcome party, instead of a rehearsal dinner, where all guests were invited. The video team did an awesome job at capturing everything but also keeping pretty invisible. To me there is nothing worse than having a photographer/videographer stealing the show by cutting off the view from your family members and friends in attendance. The team was very respectful and considerate of my view on that.
The end product was absolutely BEAUTIFUL and it's now one of my most cherished possessions. We got tons of compliments. The editing was really excellent--it really felt like our own movie rather than just a regurgitation of the day. And they took my feedback on minor changes I asked to have done to the original cut - no problem. Very accommodating and easy to work with them--superb customer service. I wish I could have them video every family event for us :). I would HIGHLY recommend them!
After our first meeting with Event Media Production, I knew that they would be able to capture every special moment and vision for our wedding. We met several times to review what we were looking for in our wedding video. If you are looking fo...
