Liz and Justin with Forcier Films are simply incredible! From our first consultation to the moment we received our breathtaking wedding film, they were an absolute joy to work with. Professional, understanding, and insanely talented, they made the entire process seamless and enjoyable.
Their work is truly one of a kind. Watching our wedding film felt like they had known us our whole lives—the way they captured every moment was so thoughtful and personal. It wasn’t just a wedding video; it was a beautiful story of our love, perfectly crafted.
If you want filmmakers who are not only talented but also warm, fun, and deeply invested in your vision, Liz and Justin are the ones to call. They exceeded every expectation, and we couldn’t be happier!
Liz and Justin painstakingly, patiently, and transparently video recorded our wedding, reception, and the other preparations and whatnot beforehand. Hours of footage were captured and transformed into art. Their superpower is their storytelling. They took a straightforward ceremony and a pair of reception toasts and created something truly breathtaking. As a skeptic of the value of wedding videography, I was moved and brought to tears with the beauty they were able to tease out of the hours of footage they captured. Impressive work by some excellent professionals.

Any questions?
Such a great experience working with Liz and Justin!! Our wedding footage turned out better than we could have ever imagined! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! They truly went above and beyond!
Liz and Justin were amazing to work with!
They went absolutely above and beyond to make our wedding video exactly what we dreamed of. Liz’s communication was amazing and Justin was professional and courteous through our whole day! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for that personal and artistic touch to their day. They captured our love for each other and our friends and family so well and our video is something I will cherish for a lifetime!
Forcier Films was a joy to work with leading up to, during, and after our wedding! Starting with our initial meeting, Liz and Justin asked us all the right questions to get to know us as a couple, and then knew immediately which creative direction to take our film. Leading up to the wedding, we all kept in contact with ideas and timelines. During the wedding, they capture everything; it felt there was no detail left behind. In the end, we are extremely happy with our wedding film. Forcier Films created a cinematic masterpiece with our wedding video, I highly suggest you take a look!
Forcier Films was amazing to work with during our entire wedding planning and after the wedding. From our first meeting, through wedding planning, and during the entire wedding, Liz and Justin were phenomenal. They both were able to tell our love story in such a cinematic way that made many of our family and friends cry (from happiness). We love their friendliness, professionalism, and kindness. Liz and Justin made us feel very comfortable during filming and it felt very natural - which really shows in our wedding film. They also worked really well with the photographer and made our wedding days very peaceful. They also were very personable and worked with us to pick out the best format and plan we wanted to our wedding cinematography.
Forcier Films is the BEST vendor you can choose for filmography/videography. If you want an incredible way to re-live your wedding, then choosing Forcier Films is the way to go! Their work will not disappoint you!
Liz & Justin are truly the most amazing individuals!! Professional, personable, creative, fun and proactive, are just a few words that come to mind when I think of Forcier Films. When they did my brother’s wedding , I knew immediately that I wanted them to capture my special day. I could not be happier with my wedding video. Watching it is like reliving my wedding day all over again, thanks to Liz & Justin. I highly recommend their services!
Justin and Liz are absolutely the best investment my wife and I made for our wedding! They were so easy to work with, and incredibly professional. Everyone will tell you that you wont’ remember a thing from your wedding because its so chaotic, and I can testify that this is an absolutely true statement, I know that videography is often considered a splurge wedding expense, but we are so thankful that we spent the extra money to book Justin and Liz. We still rewatch the video they made for us on a regular basis.
Justin and Liz, did an amazing job of capturing our wedding in a way that felt natural, yet cinematic and beautiful!
Before booking Forcier, my wife and I looked at literally dozens of other videographers, and our biggest gripe with 99% of them was that basically you realize every videographer has a standard formula for wedding videos.
Scene 1 - Open with a wide sweeping drone shot or wide angle shot of a venue.
Scene 2 - Close-up detail shots. Maybe the wedding programs, some shoes, maybe some table settings flowers, and jewelry. Definitely a shot of the wedding dress hanging in front of a sunlit window (natural light amirite?)
Scene 3 - Wedding party getting ready. Probably a shot of a groomsmen or parent fake adjusting the grooms clip-on bowtie.
Scene 4 - Bride reveals herself in wedding dress to her bridal party and/or parents, gasps ensue
You get the picture. Every wedding video is essentially the same, but the thing that stood our with Forcier is that my wife and I came away from each video feeling as though we had learned a little something about that couple, we had gotten a sort of feel for what they were like, and what their wedding was like. We loved that each film had the signature beautiful cinematic shots of the Forciers, while still being special and unique to each couple.
If you’ve been behind the scenes of enough weddings you know that some videographers can be awkward and pushy. They can be eager to capture a particular kind of shot, maybe for their portfolio, maybe because they think it will look cool, but they will stop an entire dance floor or wedding recession in order to pose people and stage shots, but the fact that Justin and Liz were able to capture all these incredible and beautiful shots without posing them is a testament to their experience, and skill. We were honestly so surprised by how many shots they managed to capture, because we never even noticed that they had been in the room with us at times!
Oh, and did we mention that Justin and Liz managed to do all of that while perfectly blending in with the background while Liz was like seven months pregnant!? I mean you want to talk about professionalism? Then you should start talking about Forcier.
So if you’re looking for a generic wedding video with a videographer who will standout like a sore thumb at your wedding, or if you’re looking for a videographer with no desire to tell your story, or a videographer who’s unprofessional, and unfriendly, and difficult to work with. Look somewhere else, don’t use Forcier. But if you’re searching for someone to capture memories for you in a way that’s beautiful and natural, who’s also just such a joy both personally and professionally to work with. Definitely book Forcier, you will NOT regret it. (Unless you hate quality, value, and having the best wedding video, then you’ll definitely regret it).
Liz & Justin with Forcier were amazing to work with! They listened to what was important to us and made us feel like good friends. Our wedding video was exactly what we wanted and somehow even more! I would recommend them to anyone - quality can't be matched!
I'm not sure how to put into words exactly how amazing Forcier Films is. Hiring Liz and Justin to make our wedding video was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. They exceeded our expectations not only in the production of our wedding video but in how easy and FUN they were to work with, their professionalism and their thoroughness with attention to detail. They collected our jumbled thoughts and made them into a more stunning reality than we could have imagined. Our video has us laughing, crying and reliving all the best parts of our perfect day every time we watch it. We cannot say enough good things about Liz and Justin, and cannot recommend them highly enough. There is Forcier Films and then there is everybody else.

The only word we would use to describe working with you two is: PERFECT. You two are so loving and friendly that we felt as if we were attending as guests! The experience of capturing your guys' wedding day is one we will never forget.
Hiring Forcier Films was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Liz and Justin take time to get to know you as a couple as well as your vision for your wedding video. The entire experience was very personalized, with no cookie-cutter processes.
From our first call, Liz was personable and warm. To meet us in person and to help us get used to being in front of a camera, Liz and Justin shot an engagement video prior to our wedding. They made something as simple as walking through a park look like a masterpiece.
At the wedding, they were the best cheerleaders and added calmness and joy to our day. They moved gracefully and unobtrusively through the wedding events and were flexible when rain appeared during our ceremony. Liz took the time to understand what we hoped for in our wedding film and was able to decipher my scrambled ideas, capturing my vision and the essence of our wedding day exactly. When we saw the film we cried! Liz and Justin truly are skilled artists, from weaving the film footage and audio together to picking a song that fits us perfectly as a couple. I can’t recommend Forcier Films enough. You won’t regret choosing them to create a wedding film that you will cherish forever!

It was an honor to share in your journey from your engagement film shoot all the way through your wedding day! Your wedding was filled with so much genuine emotion and love that it makes our job SO much easier. It's a rare experience to have a ...
few dark rainclouds bring out the best in a couple, and you two were a shining light to work with.
When we received our wedding video from Justin and Liz we were blown away! The selection of videos captured absolutely all of the best and most memorable moments and we could not have asked for more. When sitting down and watching the film unfold , it makes you realize the filming of the night is one thing, but the professional editing skills are what defines and differentiates a wedding videographer and a professional film maker, which is what Justin and Liz bring to the table.
It was a perfectly finished product that we and our family and friends have watched many times and never tire of watching.
The natural approach to capturing the day was unobtrusive and you never felt like they were in anyway interrupting or in the way.
They worked well with our photographer also, to capture the day perfectly. We would 100% recommend Forcier Films to anyone looking for the best possible wedding video.

We loved being a part of your wedding day, and the love you both have for each other was contagious and radiated throughout. The entire day was filled with an amazing group of people that enhanced the vibe and made it a true treasure to edit to...
gether every moment!
Our wedding video was absolute perfection! Justin and Liz were so excited to partake in our day and so professional from start to finish. They arrived and had excellent ideas of how to best capture our day! Some of my favorite shots of the entire wedding was being able to see the groomsmen getting ready and is an experience I wouldn’t have had if not for the video. They had wonderful ideas for our first look and were able to capture our first words to one another on our wedding day that we can now relive. The editing was so beautiful, the music perfect, and having the vantage point of a guest was such a gift. They’ve allowed us to relive our day over and over since September. We were not sure we could have a videographer and now we can absolutely not imagine what it would be like to have missed out on this beautiful footage. We can relive our day for the rest of our lives. Absolutely amazing experience!

Olivia and Taylor, we could not have asked for a more loving couple to capture for our first wedding film. The energy and passion you have for each other was infectious and showed us how magical it is to be there during the best day of your lif...
e! You two will forever be a part of the story of Forcier Films.
WOW! Forcier Films surpassed our expectations of what a wedding video could be and now we can relive our favorite day forever.
Liz and Justin are highly talented professionals who not only have years of experience but are also personable and creative. They created a wedding video that told our story, emphasized our personalities/feelings, and brought the day to life. Each clip and cut was designed with such purpose. It‘s very clear that they work from the heart and documenting love stories is their true passion and purpose!
We have watched our video countless times and find something new to enjoy each time. They were able to capture meaningful audio clips and integrate a song that matches our vibe perfectly and put it all together in such a cinematic way. The details and small moments they captured throughout the day bring us right back and are such a treasure.
The relationship we have formed working with them and film result are something beautiful. On the day of, all moments with both of them were so natural and fun, and made us feel very comfortable, in the moment, and in love. We can’t thank them enough for listening, seeing us for who we are, and representing that in our film.
We would recommend their work 1000 times over (which also is how many times we’ve rewatched our video) and will always highly recommend them to every engaged couple we know. Every married couple should have something this special!!!
