Films by Andy

ecision. Andy is a consummate professional. He is warm and engaging, and most importantly, a truly talented film maker. He took the time to understand who Hannah and Patrick are as people, and what they valued most on their wedding day. In <8 minutes, he captured their love for each other and commitment to one another, their joy in getting married, and how much they value family and friends, as well as a good dance party! Thank you, Andy, we will treasure your work always.

expectations! I found Andy on the Knot and sent a video to my husband. He immediately reached out to Andy to check his availability. He was easy to chat with and was very responsive to any and all emails that we sent. We met up with him a few weeks before our wedding to chat and set some expectations for our day. We left that meeting really excited about working with Andy and totally at ease getting ready for our day. The day of, he was super punctual, on task and always on the look out for unique angles to capture different aspects of our day. He’s also a blast to hang out with, so it made being on camera less intimidating and everyone was at ease all day long. We wish we had another reason to work with him! We can’t recommend him enough.

with Andy was a breeze and it was so enjoyable for my wife and me from when we first had our consultation meeting with him at his office/production lab in Beverly, MA to our actual wedding. He is extremely professional, very friendly, easy to talk to, a great listener for your wedding film needs, and just makes people feel good about getting married because of the energy and charisma he naturally exhibits. Andy isn't just someone filming your wedding, he is an artist. Andy will make you see things from your special day that you may have not even realized was happening at the time because of how fast it goes by in the blink of an eye. The day of the wedding Andy was SO PUNCTUAL that he actually arrived a little earlier than he told me he would and obtained some beautiful aerial drone footage of our wedding venue in Cape Cod. After getting the drone footage, I brought Andy back to the rental house I had for my groomsmen so that he could get some getting ready footage as well as some candids. Amongst my groomsmen, Andy just felt like another close friend in my presence and actually made me feel more at ease as I got ready on my special day. Being an extrovert myself, it was so nice to have someone to talk to when I wanted to but also good that Andy would vanish subtly, without us knowing, only to be getting 2 to 3 more shots at different angles. His blend of how personable and approachable he is with how professional and prioritizing he is without additional direction make him fantastic at what he does. It's a rare talent to be able to manage people and lead without directing and Andy knows exactly how to get what he needs doing just being great with people so they naturally respond to him. In his first "teaser" trailer he released just the morning after our wedding, it was apparent that he was able to put together the perfect shots from our first look with some drone footage, slow motion, and perfect background music for us to relieve the emotion I felt when I saw my bride for the first time. The second teaser video came about a month later and showcased our reception dance floor and wedding band, BearFight (also a top-notch choice I'd recommend). Again, Andy picked the perfect shots, MANY MORE for this teaser, and sped them up a bit then blended them together to create a montage of the dancing was nothing short of INSANE. I'm honestly floored of how many of our guests and family he was able to get footage of and include in the trailer. The best way I can describe the "Films by Andy" that he creates, is cinematic quality footage with organic emotions captured in the raw and unrefined. Andy has the ability to capture these natural wrinkles in time and iron them out perfectly so that we can relive our special days over and over for the rest of our lives.

th a few words to sum up this wonderful and talented human being in a nutshell: Professional. Super creative. Kind. Timely. Considerate. Communicative. Truly gifted. My husband and I were married 5 months ago and our friends and family are still commenting on how nice Andy was, and how amazing and beautiful our wedding film is. I personally can’t watch it in public in fear of ugly crying, and everyone says the same. Thank you, thank you, thank you Andy! You really are the best.

e tone for an exhilarating experience making real love stories come to life on the screen. Films by Andy should be at the top of your list while searching for a videographer!

aving this film is such a great way to kick off our engagement to share with friends and family. It will be such a special memory to look back on to really remember the excitement of getting engaged. As someone who does not like to be in front of the camera, Andy made it so easy to feel comfortable and act completely myself. He has an amazing way of capturing the most amazing and beautiful shots all while capturing truly who you are as a person and a couple. Part of our video included a short interview segment. Andy totally took the lead on this and knew exactly what to ask and how to capture our raw emotion. Not one second of the video looked staged or fake in any way. He is incredibly knowledgable about his equipment and also how to get the right shots. I would say one of his many talents is being able to capture light in a very beautiful and unique way! I would give Andy way more than 5 stars if that was even possible! He is an incredible person to know and work with and I would recommend him to everyone I know who is looking to capture a big moment in their lives, whether wedding related or not! He is a man of many talents and my fiancé and I are so pleased with our film! Andy definitely knows what he is doing!

t phone call and many views of his work on his Instagram that Andy was going to be our videographer. You can see through his teaser videos he captures amazing moments of your big day. He was professional but made you feel like a friend at the same time. On the day of the wedding he is in every moment capaturing the happiness without making you feel like your being followed by a camera. He also worked so flawlessly with my photographer who he has never worked with before. That’s a huge plus! I’m absolutely obsessed with what I’ve seen so far from Andy for our wedding and I can’t wait to see the full finished product. I would reccomemd Andy to anyone!

mely focused on giving us the best product. Andy took the time to get know my wife and I and that led to a truly special video that felt unique. He was always responsive and professional and made us feel comfortable. On the actual day, Andy was there early and stayed late just to get the right shots. He captured every special moment without ever blocking guests' views. I HIGHLY recommend Films by Any for anyone who wants a great movie about their wedding and an incredible person to work with. Thank you Andy!

own him forever! Everything from the start was so easy. We talked on the phone, Skyped, and he was so accommodating. The day of the wedding was perfect and he captured every little moment. I forgot he was there half of the time! The reception was a blast and got away from us-we asked him to stay a half hour late and he didn’t even blink an eye (even though he had a long drive ahead of him). I am sad that we won’t be able to work with him again, and I highly recommend him to everyone!

ave watched and shared it over and over and over and everyone loves it. Heck, it made my groomsman cry and he hasn't wept since the Philadelphia Flyers came back from 3 games down to beat the Boston Bruins in the 2012 playoffs. Andy is remarkable and we are so thankful for his work! He also adds joyful little surprises as well. Don't hesitate!

ould have a videographer or not and I am so glad I decided to do it (wouldn’t suggest that strategy). We received a teaser within a few days of wedding and it’s sooooo good. I’ve noticed he edits each video to match the couples personality which is so special. Also, he used the drone over the back of Misselwood and it’s so gorgeous! Def a plus if you have a beautiful venue you want captured in a different way. Take a look at his Vimeo page, that was so helpful to me. We haven’t received the final video yet but I know it’s going to be amazing!

t choice after our first video chat where conversation just came so effortlessly and felt like I was chatting with an old friend. My husband and I did an engagement shoot with Andy before the wedding and left feeling even more like friends than we previously had. Andy not only has an amazing eye but also an amazing personality and was able to make even my photo and video-phobic husband come out of his shell. Through our conversations before our wedding, Andy knew exactly what we were looking for in a wedding film and executed it perfectly. He was so fun to work with and captured the day so perfectly while really remaining under the radar during the ceremony and reception. I am SO GLAD I got the privilege of working with him and can not wait to find another excuse to film something!

on paying for a video that we would watch once or twice. I knew when I selected Andy that I would not be disappointed, but I didn't realize how much having Andy as a part of our wedding would enhance our day. I also didn't realize how wrong I was about the number of times I'd watch my video! Andy got to know us leading up to the day and when he arrived at my house while I was getting ready, he was a positive, kind, and calming addition to my getting ready crew. Throughout the day he continued to make us smile, laugh, and feel incredibly comfortable. Our bridal party and family also commented on how much they enjoyed having him around. I didn't think someone I had never met before would be someone I couldn't imagine not having with us on one of the most important days of our lives! Now the final product - WOW! Our video is nothing short of amazing. I can't even believe some of the moments he was able to capture that are so special to us and our family, like the look of pride on my 87 year old grandmother's face as we exited the church or the smile on my 9 month old nephew's face as we I got ready. All of my family members love it. After sharing it on Facebook, I have had somewhat random people tell me "I cried watching your wedding video." We are so grateful to Andy for his talent, his professionalism, his kind nature, and of course his willingness to give us the greatest wedding gift we could have ever received: a beautiful video that we will treasure for the rest of our lives!

y wanted to comment on is how easy Andy is to work with both before the wedding and at the wedding itself. He was always available to answer any questions and seemed truly excited to share in your huge day prior to the wedding. The day of the wedding you wouldn't even know he was there. He was everywhere you wanted him to be without being obvious or in the way. He is always smiling, always willing to do whatever you want and was just a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. Can't wait to see the end result! Have seen other weddings he has done and they are breathtaking so I am sure ours will be too! Thanks, Andy

ady process, he was right there for all the important moments without being overbearing in what can be overwhelming moments. That is honestly what sold me, and was exactly how he was on my wedding day. The Films by Andy product speaks for itself so I don't need to get into how beautiful he captures the day. Andy not only put our memories to film, but also helped make our wedding memories so special.

Andy’s website and if he didn’t win me over with all of his Toy Story references, then he sure did once we had our first email and phone call. Andy is down to earth and open to making your video everything you’d ever want it to be and more! His prices are extremely reasonable for the work that he puts out. His videos are fantastic quality and incorperate amazing customized calligraphy of the couple’s names! Andy gave us a gift that will last forever and I could not recommend him enough! To infinity and beyond, partner!

we are SO glad we did! Andy was an absolute pleasure to work with from the first time we talked right through the wedding day. He created such a fun and comfortable atmosphere and never made us feel stressed about being on camera. He was so un-obtrusive we barely noticed him there (in the best way possible) yet he still managed to capture the most stunning footage of our special day. And I don't even know where to begin with our highlight reel. I have watched that 7 minute video about a thousand times already! From the footage to the editing and the music we literally could not have asked for anything more. Andy truly exceeded all of our expectations!!!

ndy was a joy to work with. He is a great communicator and very professional. I can honestly say he was my favorite vendor I worked with for our wedding!

band and our families were hesitant. I talked to a bunch of different videographers, but could never really make up my mind. Finally, I found Andy and I felt like he just understood exactly what I was looking for so I decided to go for it. Looking back now, it was one of the best decisions I made. Andy made the entire process so easy - he was always very responsive and happy to answer all of my questions. On the day of our wedding, Andy was up for anything - running around from location to location so he could capture us both getting ready and setup well in advance of the first look to get the perfect shot and staying until late into the night. After the wedding was over, Andy delivered our highlight reel even faster than I was expecting and it was beautifully done. He also made us a bunch of short edited clips of particular moments (vows, first dance, parent dances, toasts, dance reel) and worked with me to create a mini highlight reel to a song I love. I am so happy with these clips because they are short enough that they are really practical and easy to enjoy. Andy also gave us all of the raw footage from the entire day. Andy’s work really captured our wedding in a way that is so different from photos. Now, we can’t imagine not having it and are so thankful that we went for it because it is something we never could have done over or gotten back. Andy is a remarkable talent and a truly kindhearted, wonderful person. He has so much dedication and enthusiasm for what he does. Looking at his work, I think its obvious that he captures weddings in a way that is very unique and personal to the couple. I cannot recommend him enough. He is the best of the best.

here, he made one camera look like two, great music choices for the highlight reel and final product, he is professional and courteous! All of these and more makes Andy a great choice. You will not regret it!

ation with us about our expectations and vision for our special day. His incredibly positive and calming attitude completely put us at ease and greatly added to the fun of our day. His footage was absolutely breathtaking and captured ALL of the emotion and artistic opportunities of the day. We can not say enough about the high end quality of the film. It truly was beyond anything we ever could have imagined. The song Andy chose was perfect and matched up perfectly to our personalities. Having Andy as our videographer was hands down the best decision of our Wedding. He is unbelievable to work with and his talent second to none.

eally getting to know you to walking through the big day. He really truly believes in love. He works his magic with a camera as part of his gear and is completely non-intrusive; we barely knew he was there. We did get to snag a picture with him during the day. His editing is off-the-charts incredible. My "I majored in film" friends are impressed with his work. A couple of things -- you are getting a 6-9 minute video as a snapshot of the whole day with edited shots of the mother/son; father/daughter; maid of honor speech, and best man speech. We have yet to get around to it yet; but we would like edited versions of certain areas such as the tea ceremony, our ceremony, and our getting ready moments of reading the letters. We think this will be an additional cost to our base cost. If you find yourself wondering if you should get a videographer -- do it -- my husband and I waffled back and forth. The factor that ultimately made our decision to have a videographer is that sound helps us relive those memories -- we want to continue to hear the voices, laughter, and interactions of those who may pass before us. Go with Andy. You will not regret it.

nlike most of our other vendors in that it was so much more than a business transaction. Andy felt like a great friend from the beginning until the very end (and on). He's a dedicated hard worker and he puts your interest first. What the website won't show you is how easy Andy is to work with, how much skill and experience he brings to the table, and how much fun you will have on your big day getting shots with Andy. Andy hit all of my criteria and I think I was a pretty annoying customer. He gave us all our raw video, he doesn't use big obnoxious LED lighting, he let's your photographer be the boss, he gets the shots he needs (and you want) quickly and efficiently, and he is very flexible in terms of payment and cost. The value you are getting at Films by Andy is unreal. He does amazing stuff an amazing price. If he's not already booked up for your weekend you'd be wise to lock him in. I think his blog and work speak volumes about his talent.

any good shots and was rarely in the line of sight of Hannah or I or any of our guests. He is super flexible with shots, weather conditions, and his main concern is capturing your day in the most beautiful way possible. We are so happy with the final result and it is absolutely worth it. If you are looking for a wedding videographer, hands down, Andy is your guy.

re the the wedding date, and Andy was always quick to respond if I had any questions. The day of it was like he wasn't even there ( in a good way ! ) He was right there the whole time but again, he made us feel completely comfortable and he captured so many wonderful moments. His work brought me to tears, and his editing with the music he chooses, and clips he puts together is just breathtaking. Truly wonderful. I highly recommend this talented individual !

ing day he was never entrusive and never made us feel uncomfortable. Communication was quick and easy to get in touch with him. Overall, very satisfied with Andy and our video!

tragic of course). My sister, an old college-mate of Andy's, asked him if he would be willing to work with our specific situation and he immediately jumped in, offering us a price we couldn't believe. Because we were living on opposite coasts, we did all our meeting and communicating online until the weekend of the actual wedding. We instantly felt comfortable with Andy, as he asked us our story and got to know us as people and a couple... not just clients. The weekend of the wedding, he jumped in and helped like we were old friends. Though Andy's approach is relational, personal & friendly, he also managed to maintain business professionalism start to finish. Now we'll finally get to his Product. We are in love with our wedding highlight reel. Once the wedding started, Andy disappeared. I never really saw him throughout the wedding. He wasn't in the way and he wasn't causing a scene. Yet SOMEHOW, he captured the smallest, most intimate moments at the reception between friends and family. Moments that I barely remember happening, and that I definitely don't remember him being near by, were somehow caught by Andy. Andy worked very well alongside our wonderful photographers, never stepping on their toes, but also not hesitating to ask for a certain angle or shot he didn't want to miss. All in all.. I would absolutely recommend Films By Andy to any brides to be. You won't be disappointed. You'll have video footage that is so much more than merely images; it will capture the mood & personality of your special day, making viewers feel they got to attend the wedding, and allowing you to relive it over and over. And you will gain a new friend in the process. Thank you Andy!

he managed to capture all of the very "us" moments in our video without us even realizing it. We love our video and still watch it regularly. It has also been a great way to share with friends and family who couldn't make it that day - they really got a feel for the event! Would highly recommend Andy to anyone hoping to capture the personality and flavor of your wedding day and create a stellar video to remember it by!

really listened to what we wanted for our wedding film. We asked for a video of the whole service from start to finish (for family that could not attend), along with other shots during the ceremony and the reception. We wanted his filming to be fully candid. He was to be like a guest, observing all of the moments that my husband and I would probably (and totally did) miss. I made sure to mention certain moments that I wanted to be captured as well (first kiss, our first time being announced husband and wife, us with our families, etc). On the day of, Andy was easy-going and fun. I never noticed him during the wedding service and I barely did during the reception. He blended right in. He really has a good instinctual eye for detail. He was all over the place, capturing everything we wanted. He moved silently around the wedding and was able to collect beautiful moments from unconventional angles. He worked great with our photographer. Our photographer, who had done hundreds of weddings, commented on how naturally talented Andy was. Andy was also quick to get us our video. He had hours and hours of film to work through, but we had our video within 2 weeks. We actually let him borrow my Canon Rebel SLR to film the ceremony and he returned it, safe and sound, as soon as we came home from our honeymoon. I would highly recommend Andy for your wedding. He is a kind, responsible, professional and talented videographer.

wanted someone to capture our special day and were able to connect with Andy. After doing some research and looking at his videos on his website I knew his fresh and candid perspective would be a perfect fit. After seeing our final video, we could not of been happier with our decision to work with Andy. Not only is he so personable and easy to work with, he captured so many moments in such a beautiful way that represented who we are as a couple.

m. Throughout the months leading up to the wedding Andy put in a lot of time and effort to get to know us personally as a couple as well as understand our vision for our wedding day. He was completely respectful, professional and timely with his responses to our questions and was always flexible with us - even on the wedding day! While we gave him a few recommendations for shots we wanted, we ultimately gave him the creative liberty to capture whatever he felt led. The result could not have been any more beautiful or special. Our highlight film captured all the joy, love, excitement and fun we and our guests experienced that day. If you are looking for a videographer, we highly recommend Andy.

oments of the day, the decorations, the landscape etc. He has the ability to make everyone photogenic (even those uncomfortable in front of a camera). He was unbelievably flexible and willing to work with our busy schedules. He was the utmost professional and very precise on timing. I highly highly recommend Films by Andy!!

am is so great to work with and Andy wants to make sure you are happy! I love that about him. We had a same day edit video that was shown during the reception and everyone LOVED it. It was awesome to see everything play out up to the reception. Our full video was beautiful. All our family and friends were in tears after they watched it and raved how well everything went. So many great moments were captured and I couldn't be any happier. I love re-watching the video from time to time. Great investment and something you will have forever. A few of our friends are getting married in 2016 and have already hired Andy and his team after seeing his work from our big day.

were paying so much for our photographer I figured why bother. But when I saw my friend's video I knew I had to hire Andy. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I was instantly obsessed and sent the video to my friends and family, most of whom did not know my friend. Everyone was in tears and in agreement about how wonderful the video was. Also, I was at my friend's wedding and i never once noticed the videographer. He just blended right in! There was a shot in her video of me doing her bustle and I never even knew that was being filmed. I contacted Andy the same night as I saw my friend's video. He is so super friendly and responsive. He was very accommodating to us since we were so busy with wedding planning. We met via Facetime since we were too busy to meet in person. He went over what we wanted in detail. I was never once worried that anything would go wrong with Andy. I got my video about a month after my wedding and it was worth the time and the money. It was even more amazing than I thought it would be. Everyone who has seen it is impressed with how artistically done it is. I could not be happier. Andy is a great guy and an extremely talented videographer. He posts his videos on his FB page so check them out if you are thinking of hiring him. I could not be happier with how everything turned out.

d watch maybe one time and then likely never watch again. We decided that this was an expense that we would forego for our wedding. However, a couple of months into wedding planning, my sister introduced me to the idea of wedding highlight videos. I fell in love with the concept - a short 5 minute video, easily shareable, that captures the feel of your day. After watching some of these videos, I obsessed with the idea of hiring a videographer. But my husband was still not overly impressed - he doesn’t like to see himself on video. Plus, we had heard horror stories from a friend whose sister’s videographer was all up in their business all day and made people pose for an overly refined wedding video that didn’t capture the feel of their day at all. So as the months of wedding planning went by, I continued to watch strangers’ highlight videos and cry at the beautiful films. I wanted to hire a videographer so badly, but I didn’t think we could fit this into our budget. About a month before our wedding, I searched online and found the site Thumbtack. I had never heard of this site before, but it lets you customize a request for professionals of all sorts, and then the pros will get back to you with a quote based upon your request. I submitted a request for a wedding videographer on a whim, and that’s how I found Films by Andy! I watched a few of Andy’s highlight videos online, and they seemed to be just what I was looking for, and Andy’s quote was less than half the cost of the other pros I got quotes from! I quickly set up a time to meet with Andy, deciding that I would pay for the videographer myself, I wanted one so badly, and Andy’s prices made that possible. My husband and I met with Andy, and he was so incredibly friendly. We decided to hire Andy for our big day, and I am so happy we did! On the day of the wedding, Andy arrived right on time, and he was so unobtrusive that I barely noticed him there. He was also so nice that my father made it a point to tell me how friendly Andy was. At one point immediately following the ceremony Andy told me he was capturing some really great footage. He seemed so excited, it was so nice to see him genuinely care about the work he was doing. Andy provided us with an amazing highlight reel only 2 weeks after our wedding! The video is everything I could have hoped for and more. It incorporates scenes from our whole day - getting ready, our first look, family portraits, our ceremony, and the reception. He worked with the DJ so that he could pipe into the audio so that you can hear part of our vows. And he used our first dance song in the video for a special added touch. I cannot express to you how much I love this video. I have watched it over and over again, and it still brings tears to my eyes. My husband, who was so conflicted about hiring a videographer, loves it as well! He even tells me about how he watches it while at work, so not only just when I make him watch it! I also asked Andy to capture as much as he could of special moments throughout the day - the ceremony, our first dance, the toasts. Even as a single shooter, Andy was able to capture all of these special moments! I am so happy with my decision to hire Andy as our videographer. He was such a pleasure to work with. Thank you Andy!!!
