Jeffrey Craine
Owner
Hello! I am the sole owner of First Choice Videos. From the time I was a kid I loved creating videos and more importantly making people happy. I studied Film/Video production at Ohio University. After college I filmed a friend's wedding as a favor, and they loved it. So here I am 10+ years later still capturing memories and enjoying every minute of it! I love meeting new people and seeing families come together every year. Give me a call and say hello sometime, take care!

utifully—both the big emotional highlights and the small, meaningful details we didn’t even realize were happening.
Watching our video feels like reliving the best day of our lives all over again. The editing, music, and storytelling were absolutely perfect, and the quality exceeded all of our expectations. He truly has an incredible eye and talent for turning moments into memories.
If you are on the fence about booking a wedding videographer, do it—and book him. This is something we will cherish forever, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly!

Jeffrey Craine, owner of First Choice Videos, did an amazing job capturing the events of my daughter's wedding day. We picked First Choice Videos, initially, because they appeared ...
to have very reasonable prices and also had several packages to pick from. Jeffrey also had excellent reviews! We had no idea that his prices were not the only exceptional benefit we would get. Jeffrey was so knowledgeable and gave us a lot of helpful tips from our very first conversation that really contributed to the flow of the wedding and reception. The highlight video was perfect and he captured the essence of the day with it and the 2 hour video. Jeffrey was not only professional, but such a pleasant person to work with. From the very first communication we had through email, we knew that we had made the right choice. Jeffrey was very accommodating and quick to respond to any questions that we had. We had actually never thought about hiring a videographer in our initial plans, but after reviewing some videos from other weddings, we decided it would be a good investment. The day goes so fast and it is difficult to be in the moment for everything because so much is happening. Being the mother of the bride, and essentially the hostess of the wedding and reception, I was busy making sure that everything was running smoothly. It was such a blessing to get to revisit this most beautiful day through both the highlight video and the full length video. It was well worth the money and I can't imagine anyone doing a better job of capturing the events of the day than Jeffrey and First Choice Videos. What a beautiful treasure we now have of this celebration. Thank you, Jeffrey! You are the best!

He was absolutely just on top of everything, adjustable, well rounded, and tackled everything with professionalism and eloquence. He also got major bonus points for laughing at my jokes. All in all he did an amazing job and was reasonably priced. Jeff, we are so grateful you were the one videotaping our big day. You were an absolute delight and we were so grateful for the amazing work you have done. 10/10, truly.

tand the video product we wanted for our wedding, allowing us to build a custom package and craft a video product to document the day in the style we wanted.
On the day of, Jeffrey did his work, sometimes in tight spaces, without being intrusive or distracting. He worked well with our photographer, allowing her to do her work while he captured the day from his lens. His very easy-going energy helped keep us calm and collected on the wedding day and comfortable in front of the camera. He also thoughtfully checked in with us when his contracted time ran out to make sure we didn’t need him for anything else; we’re glad he did, as we asked him to stay a bit longer to document the dance floor – a highlight of the evening. The highlights video we’ve seen so far had great drone shots and captured lots of meaningful snippets from the day; we’re very excited to check out the full video and have it as a forever keepsake.

Jeff so kindly filmed my wedding back in September after deciding last minute I’d like a videographer. He traveled to the Nashville area for the wedding and captured everything we ...
wanted. He even videoed my husband and I getting our couple pictures and made us laugh during the session so everything came out amazing with great candid shots. His use of the drone really made the wedding video unique and I’ve gotten so many compliments from people who weren’t able to attend. It was better than I could’ve ever expect and I’m so thankful I was able to get First Choice Videos to capture our day. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a videographer!

ey! He worked with us and our vision and wrote us up a customized quote which we truly appreciated since we were down to the wire and everything had already been budgeted to this point. Photography is essential for different reasons, but it doesn't take the place of a video capturing all of your special moments and the details you spent so much time planning and creating. Jeffery genuinely cared about our happiness with his work, and he was so professional and great to work with at the wedding. He isn't afraid to get his shoes dirty as long as he gets that perfect shot! We are so excited about the videos. I can't wait to start the tradition of us watching the extended video every anniversary with a glass of champagne. Two things I would tell any engaged couple 1, definitely get a videographer (you will always regret it if you don't) and definitely hire First Choice Videos!!

Jeff was knowledgeable and attentive when prepping prior to the wedding as to what Daniel and I wanted to get out of our videography what we wanted in our highlight video. We even brough Jeff out of his comfort zone with our choice of music and he still knocked it out of the park. I distinctly remember telling Daniel at the end of our wedding night that I don't even recall seeing Jeff after he initially got there yet our highlight verifies that he was very present from so many different angles. I cannot say enough good things but I can and will genuinely recommend Jeff!

We will also have some fun stories to tell years from now when kids and grandkids ask why everyone was wearing face masks while dancing. Hire First Choice Videos, you'll be happy you did!
