Heather and Jarrett are amazing videographers!! We found them through a recommendation from our photographers and boy are we grateful for that! After watching numerous highlight films, we fell in love with their style. With each video of theirs I watched I felt like I knew the couple and was invested in their story. After a phone call with Heather, we booked them immediately! They were so incredibly flexible and accomodating as we switched up plans due to covid. Wildfire smoke on the day of didn't phase them either. It is amazing how they were able to take raw footage from the day and turn it into works of art. Our highlight film turned out so amazing and is absolutely mesmerizing. My husband and I have lost count of how many times we have watched it. We are also glad we added on a last minute ceremony edit so we could share the day with friends and family who weren't able to be there. We think all couples should invest in a high quality wedding film (from First and Foremost Productions!) so they can relive their wedding day for years to come. Hands down the most talented videographers out there!
Jarrett and Heather filmed our wedding in October 2019 and we were thrilled with the video they made for us. They wove the video together so beautifully with our toasts, and it brings our day back to life. Not only were we happy with the product, they were also so easy to work with and especially great on the day of. They did a great job capturing all the right moments without getting in the way of you enjoying your day. We chose them after they made my brother a great wedding video and we weren't disappointed :) Highly recommend!
My husband and I weren't sure if we wanted a video of our wedding at first, but after finding First and Foremost and fell in love with their work INSTANTLY. Heather and Jarrett were extremely professional and down to earth; they maintained great communication prior to the wedding and were able to execute everything smoothly the day of. We did not wait long to receive footage, and everything we asked to be incorporated into the film was there! When I wanted something taken out (that I originally requested to be put in), they were extremely accommodating and sent me over the new version within a day or so. We get tons of compliments on our film, but most importantly we are completely in LOVE with the way it turned out. Honestly it's just magical and I'm still so in awe that it's my husband and I. Haha
I'm not sure how they are able to do what they do so well, but we are extremely greatful for it!!! Heather and Jarrett thank you so much! You both are truly the best!
We could not be happier that we booked Heather and Jarrett for our wedding! They traveled to our location, 6+ hours away, shot our entire rehearsal dinner and did an AMAZING job with our wedding. Throughout our entire day they ran around to get the perfect shots, capture amazing lighting and were flexible, ensuring we got exactly what we wanted. We knew that day that we had made a great decision but the real confirmation came when we got our wedding video; it is simply perfect and captures everything we wanted. We have watched it dozens of times since because it instantly transports us back to that day. Heather and Jarrett are the consummate professionals and the quality of their work is second to none. We could not recommend any single vendor more than First and Foremost Productions.
I am overjoyed at the final product we received from Jarrett and Heather! They created a work of art for us that perfectly captured my son's wedding day. We were worried about videography after problems we experienced with our daughter's wedding. We learned then that picking the right professionals make a difference. Jarrett and Heather are committed to following through on what they say they will do, and I am deeply grateful we chose them. They were recommended to us by friends of theirs from our town, and we ended up flying them in for our event. It was an excellent decision!! They were a joy to have part of the celebration, and arrived early and stayed late. They got great angles, and produced a film that made everyone tear up!! Thank you Jarrett and Heather for coming through for us...we will be forever grateful!!
I cannot express the amount of happiness and gratitude that my husband and I felt after we saw our wedding film. Heather and Jarrett are absolutely the best. Throughout the process they truly made an effort to get to know myself and my husband as a couple. The results was a truly unique, cinematic, romantic, fun, meaningful wedding film that truly captured our personalities and our relationships with all the meaningful people in our lives. We absolutely loved our wedding photos and our photographer and having a video of the wedding truly made our memories whole. They captured the laughter during the reception speeches, the sentiment in our vows, the fun dance party our reception was! They were able to highlight all the little sweet and candid moments that happened throughout the day. They are truly the best and we are so happy we decided to hire First and Foremost Productions, Heather and Jarrett truly love what they do, are extremely creative, artistic and talented at what they do.Thank you thank you for helping us create a beautiful and memorable day!
We decided last minute that we wanted to include videography at our wedding, and we didn't think we would be able to find anyone. First and Foremost productions was able to work with us even though it was last minute, making sure we would have great videographers on our wedding day, had all the details covered even though it was last minute, they worked with us on a price we could afford, and most importantly they gave us a beautiful wedding video. It captured everything we wanted and more. They were great to work with, and we could not have picked a better videographer!
My husband and I could not happier with our wedding video!! They perfectly captured who we are as a couple while filming our special day. We were originally not going to use a videographer for our wedding but after meeting Jarrett and Heather and taking a look at their amazing work we knew we had to go with them. I am so excited to show everyone the incredible video they created for us!! They are a MUST for your wedding!!
Heather and JJ are the ultimate team and produce truly amazing work. From start to finish they have been a delight to work with, always professional, courteous, and on time.
Having a good wedding and engagement video was VERY important to Stacie and I, so we went with First and Foremost and don’t regret it for a second. They really took the time to get to know our stories, incorporate them into the video and capture so many precious moments. Their attention to detail, artistic eye and just cool nature helped us to relax and enjoy our engagement and our wedding day.
After we got the video and watched it for the first time, my wife and I both cried because it is so beautiful. We were blown away by its quality and happy they were able to capture so much. I can’t say enough good things!!
I highly recommend First and Foremost Production to any couple getting married or engaged, you won’t regret it.

First and Foremost Productions gave us exactly what we wanted out of a wedding video in terms of audio/video quality, the moments captured, flow of the shots used, and even the music tracks that accompanied it. As amazing of a video that First and Foremost delivered, I would say that their customer service was just as high in quality as our wedding video was. Jarrett and Heather were extremely easy to work with during our wedding and gave great direction that helped them get the amazing shots that were used in our final wedding video. When they weren't specifically shooting my bride and I, they did a really good job of grabbing great shots of our wedding without being obtrusive at all. In light of all this, I think the best experience we had with them was during the editing experience. Jarrett and Heather were so open to feedback and were more than willing to work with what my wife and I wanted out of our wedding video. It definitely made us feel like they knew exactly what we wanted, and throughout the entire process Jarrett and Heather were nothing less than professional, cordial, and timely with all their responses. In the end, we got exactly what we wanted, a wedding video that we could share with our friends and family and watch over and over again! I would highly recommend First and Foremost for video needs for any important milestone event.
Heather & Jarrett are not only wonderful videographers -- they are also wonderful people. I guarantee you will enjoy having their presence at your wedding as much as we did. They are gracious, flexible, and creative. They listened to what we wanted throughout the entire process. My husband and I absolutely LOVE our wedding video made by First & Foremost Productions. We are so happy with the investment that we made!
Choosing a videographer for me and my husband was something we wanted to be extra picky about and careful in choosing for one of the biggest events in our lives. When we stumbled across Jarrett and Heather, we both knew we had found something special. Choosing First and Foremost to videograph our wedding was one of the best choices we could of made. They were both such amazing people to work with and their quality in what they do amazed me and my husband. I have watched our video over and over again and have yet to get tired of watching it. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone I know who is looking for a wedding videographer. We cannot say enough good things about these two and what they represent as their company as they captured some of the most precious moments on our beautiful day.
Thank you Jarrett and Heather!!
Don't have your wedding without them. We had to cancel a large wedding because I got pregnant in the middle of the year long engagement, we went from 300 to under 20. Regardless I would have loved their video but this had so much meaning. Many of our friends and family weren't invited to the private ceremony so when we released the video online we received a flood of support. They LOVED the video, people told me they laughed, they cried, and the video was perfectly us. People told me the watched it multiple times ahahah. We will cherish this video. Thank you for doing such a great job.
I got a lot of push back from friends and family when I originally said I was planning on hiring a videographer for my wedding. They said that it was not worth the money and would be better spent on more "important" budget items. They said that I really only needed photos and why spend money on just a few minutes of film. I dug my heels in and stuck with my plan and HOLY MOLY I am so glad I did!!! My wedding video is by far the best investment I made for my wedding overall. I would recommend Heather and Jarrett in a heartbeat, our video is so incredible! Such a high quality, more like a movie than just your ordinary wedding video. Also, everyone at my wedding commented that Jarrett was the most friendly, accommodating, and professional wedding vendor they had ever met. Seriously, if you are on the fence about hiring a videographer, DO IT!
Many brides will receive beautiful wedding videos that will make them smile and give them a general over view of their special day but what First and Foremost Productions gave my husband and I (and our family) was MUCH more than that.
I can honestly say that their work is more than just extraordinary and unique...It's raw, emotional, and personal. Watching our wedding film felt like my husband I edited the film ourselves and selected all of our favorite moments by hand.
Heather and Jarrett go the extra mile and beyond to make sure they know what you want on your wedding day and sincerely capture your heart and love in every shot.
First and Foremost Productions is more than an exceptional vendor to use on your wedding day but a wise investment for years to come in your marriage. I mean that with all my heart. Their love for people, the sanctity of marriage and their art will NOT leave you disappointed. Their gift will exceed your expectations and fill your heart with so much joy it might explode. Seriously, make the wise and best choice possible and book them NOW!!
I look forward to seeing their amazing work for years to come! Thank you so much Jarrett & Heather, may God continue to bless your marriage like you've blessed ours!
Love,
Genesis & John
We hired Jarrett and Heather to video our special day and could not be happier that we did. My husband and I were paying for our wedding on our own and at first were not sure if we could afford a videographer, but as we got closer to our date we realized we could not afford not to have one. First and Foremost were extremely competitive when I compared to others in the industry and we LOVE our video. They were so easy to work with on the edits as well and instantly sent us updated footage. Once we finalized the video they sent us DVD's and had it arrive in the most adorable package. We are so HAPPY that we chose to have them do our wedding and would highly recommend them other couples.
This is the best investment that my husband and I made for our wedding.
To start off with, Jarrett and Heather, they are so personable. When meeting them, it felt like home. Both my husband and I just told our story and they listened (which is very much reflected in our video). They also told us their story and it helped us feel so comfortable with who they are and what they love to produce.
Second, the quality of work, their vision, and style....just wow! And on top of that, they understood exactly what we wanted. We had the, "we trust you and we know you will produce something great"...mentality. So we let them do what they wanted on our day, with very little control. Boy did that pay off! We were given a product above and beyond what we expected.
Seriously, you would be crazy not to go with this awesome couple. Again, they are personable yet professional and they know what they are doing! Jarrett and Heather. Thank you. You captured everything that we loved about our wedding and then some.

My husband and I were on the fence about getting videographers. Like most couples on a tight budget (we paid for our entire wedding ourselves), we weren't sure if it was something we "needed". My husband said at one point "why don't we just rent a camera and let everyone do their own recording?" At the time, I thought that sounded like a great idea! But after working with JJ and Heather, I can't imagine having gone any other way than having them be our videographers.
Our photographer was an old friend of my husband's and he was so stoked to be having her work our wedding. She had just gotten married herself and recommended her own videographer who also happened to be a co-worker/friend. She showed us one of their videos and I was instantly suckered in. I wasn't a sappy bride and I've never been a sappy person, but I went home and watched almost every video on First and Foremost's website and blubbered like a baby. Thankfully, my husband agreed it was a perfect choice. It wasn't in our budget and it hadn't been in our plans, but after seeing their work I knew I needed JJ and Heather there to capture all our moments. They were so kind and understanding of our budget needs and Heather was so helpful and informative throughout the planning process. On the day of, she was so sweet and complimentary throughout my getting ready process. While we went through all the posed photos, JJ had visions and concepts I never would have thought of. On a incredibly hot and humid day, he worked his butt off running around setting up different shots. When we watched back the candid moments on our video, I couldn't believe all the little things they were able to capture. The big moments and everything in between were put together in a beautiful, masterful way that still brings tears to my eyes. Plus, whenever I get frustrated or angry with my husband I watch our video and am reminded of why I married him and how blessed I am... even if he does leave dishes uncleaned more often than I'd like.
We had a great dream for our wedding. It was simple, joyful and meant to be fun. JJ and Heather captured that perfectly and gave us everything we wanted and more. I couldn't imagine having gone any other way and I would recommend them to absolutely anyone!
Heather & JJ have such a passion & talent for this art! They put their whole hearts into making your video & wedding day so special & unique to you & your loved ones.
They are a beautiful example of a husband & wife team who work so well together, balancing each other out perfectly. We felt completely relaxed & at ease the whole time we were working with them.
My husband & I absolutely LOVE our video & it will be something that we cherish for the rest of our lives together & can't wait to share with our kids & grandkids someday!
So if you're reading this, stop what you're doing, pick up the phone & call or email them right now! I promise you will not regret it!
When planning our wedding, hiring a videographer was not at the top of priority list...more of an after thought, actually. As soon as I realized I needed one, I got a recommendation for First and Foremost Productions. After viewing their portfolio, I was sure that they would be perfect for our wedding. From the very beginning Jarrett and Heather were responsive, extremely nice and professional. An to top it off they are an adorable married couple!
With the usual unexpected last minute itinerary changes, Jarrett and Heather were flexible and accommodating. They were the first of our vendors to arrive and the last to leave. While the photo/video part of any wedding day can be long and, at times, grueling, Heather and Jarrett kept us comfortable and laughing the whole time.
Upon receiving our video, we were blown away! The final product was so professional and captured our day perfectly! We are so happy with the way it turned out, we would gladly recommend First and Foremost Productions to anyone (and everyone) we know!
Jarrett and Heather, thank you for everything!!

Spectacular, beautiful, fantastic, amazing, sweet… these are just a few of the words people have shared with us to describe our wedding video by First and Foremost Production.
As my husband and I sit down to describe our experience with JJ and Heather, the owners of First and Foremost Production, we worry that we won’t be able to accurately portray them and their work for no one word or words can truly describe how amazing these two are! JJ and Heather is a husband-and-wife talented duo that share and feel the passion, love and respect the couples have allowing them to understand the vision and providing excellent service.
It is clear from their work and their personality that JJ and Heather truly love what they do. They are professional and accommodating. They took the time to get to know us, as a couple and as individuals, depicting our story perfectly in our wedding video. They were incredibly efficient, understanding and responsive throughout the whole process. They made the process easy and enjoyable for everyone at and in the wedding party. They eased our nerves and turned us into natural models in front of the camera. Our final video was exactly what we wanted, it was so moving and breathtaking, I couldn’t have asked for anything better. They truly were able to beautifully document our special day and it had everyone in awe. Guests that were unable to attend the wedding said that after watching the video they felt as if they were part of the day- all of the emotions from our wedding day was captured right into the video.
And if their talent isn’t enough, JJ and Heather are also very kind, sweet and caring. They were both a delight to work with and we cannot thank them enough for gifting us with their time and talent. I look forward to sharing our video with our children and grandchildren many years from now...
First and Foremost Productions is professional and personable! Heather and Jarrett were the first vendors to arrive and the last ones to leave. This ensured that they videographed every special moment of the day. Their hard work showed in our wedding video, as it captured the wedding day perfectly and beyond our expectations. They listened to our vision and needs, and they were also able to execute a beautifully crafted product. In addition, Heather and Jarrett are the sweetest couple! They make you feel at ease in front of the camera so the footage looks natural. Thank you two so much, and we still watch our wedding video a lot even a year later!
We were really unsure if we would be able to afford to hire a videographer for our wedding. It was one of the last major decisions we made. Lucky for us I came across FFP and fell in love with their videos. After briefly meeting with JJ and Heather, I knew I really wanted them to film our wedding.
They work so hard with each client to make sure the video is exactly what they want. Therefore they adjust their style and artistic view for exactly what the bride and groom want. We talked at lengths about what we wanted in our video, and it was everything we could have dreamed of and more. I can't imagine now not having this video. It captured our day so perfectly.
There are so many small touches that I feel make our video so special. That stuff comes directly from JJ and Heather. They worked so hard and were so respectful and easy to work with. Overall amazing people.
I seriously could not be happier with how it turned out. I can't stop watching the video because it is beautiful. Our whole family loves it. You will not go wrong hiring these guys. One of the best decisions in wedding planning we made.
I cannot describe how much my husband and I love our wedding video. When we were looking through videographers, we had a hard time finding one that worked with both our budget and personalities, and I'm so glad we were able to find JJ and Heather. They were a perfect fit for us and totally got our style. Not only was it a great value (GREAT price), but the video really is priceless as it perfectly captured the best day of our lives. They were so flexible and willing to work with us, being there whenever we needed them. They filmed both our rehearsal dinner and entire wedding day from start to finish, going above and beyond what they needed to do. They were able to capture moments I didn't even realize and am so glad I'll be able to remember through the video. Me and my husband felt so comfortable around them, never felt that anything in the video was forced, and we felt like they really captured us as a couple. We got the wedding video back quickly and I can honestly say that I watched it about 5 or 6 times that day (and about every day since then), tearing up every time because it made me so happy. I was amazed by how well they captured the day! Our video focused on exactly the parts of the wedding that we wanted it to be focused on and it couldn't have turned out any better. I have received so many compliments on our video, people saying it brought them to tears. I am so amazed by the artistry and creativity of First and Foremost Productions. They are able to create truly beautiful pieces and I am so grateful that they were able to be a part of my wedding day. If you need a wedding video, there is none better than First and Foremost Productions!
I originally booked Heather and JJ, an AWESOME husband and wife duo team, for my "Save the Date Love Story" Video earlier this year!
Since I am getting married in Ireland I was unsure if I would be able to afford to take a videographer with me, but low and behold their rates are actually GREAT! So I booked them for my wedding as well!
The Save the Date video was SO much less expensive and less time consuming than sending out hundreds of printed Save the Date cards with postage and time addressing everything.
Our friends and family ADORED the video, hearing about my fiance and I's love story and what we love about each other and it gave Eric and I the PERFECT memory to have for YEARS! Not just another card you put on the fridge and then throw away!
Heather and JJ are professional, KIND, genuine and totally cater to YOUR story and the style you love. Their talent is remarkable and I COULD NOT recommend them more highly!
Anyone that inquires with them is lucky if their wedding date is open. They provide GREAT service at a wonderful price and are timely in their correspondence and kind in demeanor!
My Save the Date video was the talk around town for so long and everyone has LOVED getting to view it! It's been great for family that lives far away and has not been able to meet either one of us yet as they feel like they have gotten a glimpse into our relationship and love story!
THANK YOU Heather and JJ, if you ever read this, for providing EXCEPTIONAL service and for having such amazing hearts behind your business!

UPDATE on my wedding video:
Whoa. All I can say is when my husband and I viewed out video we both had tears in out eyes. NEVER could we have imagined that we would literally be taken BACK to Ireland through our video! JJ and Heather captured the ver ESSENCE of our day so perfectly that all of our family and friends that were not able to make the journey felt like they were RIGHT there with us. Lastly, not ONCE was I ever bothered or distracted by the video being taken! I cannot believe how discreet and professional they were and yet how much FUN it was to have them along for the ride!!! THANK YOU a million times over.
Words cannot express how amazing FIrst and Foremsot Productions is! Picking out a videographer can be a daunting task, but you will NOT be disappointed if you choose First and Foremost productions....I guarantee you that! Jarrett filmed our wedding, and we could honestly not be happier. He is very creative and takes great shots. He is extremely easy to work with, and he works well with other vendors and photographers. We were truly impressed with both our highlight video and our ceremony video, and we are excited to be able to "re-live" our special day anytime we want (thanks to First and Foremost Productions). I would HIGHLY recommend First and Foremost Productions to anybody! They are that good! =)
Seriously, I wish I could give them TEN stars. JJ and Heather captured so many beautiful scenes from our wedding day. They were able to capture scenes from our gorgeous venue, my husband getting ready, me and my girls getting ready, our vows, our first dances... I mean, everything. And they wrapped it up into one amazing highlight video! (http://vimeo.com/51268173) if you want to check it out, click the link and watch the video. Get them while you can! I'm sure that as they launch their business, they will become rising stars. Unbelievable.
These guys are SURE to move up in the wedding business FAST. Get them while they are still coming into the business! They are incredibly talented a produce video that perfectly captures every emotion & excitement in your special day. Plus, they are easy to work with, very helpful, & work very well with other vendors. Everyone has only said great things about these videographys -- ME INCLUDED!
