Brian was amazing from the start and was one of our favorite vendors to work with! He was easy to work with before, during and after the wedding! He was very easy to talk to and was always quick to answer our questions. Brian is very personable...
which made us feel comfortable and more relaxed the day of our wedding. He captured BEAUTIFUL moments in our video.

Brian was so amazing to work with. After I came across Brian's portfolio I knew immediately I wanted him to be our videographer. No other videographer came close to the quality, creativity, or beautiful story telling he captures in his films. ...
On the wedding day, he came early and prepared. He was just as excited as we were to get some really nice shots in different spots. We could tell he is super passionate about what he does and his work proves that! He is also very easy going, nice, and a breeze to work with. We couldn't be happier with the highlight film he created for us. It's like he read my mind on how exactly I wanted our highlight film to be from just a simple questionnaire we filled out. He captured every little detail I wanted to be captured and more! The drone footage is also super nice. We can't help but watch the film over and over again. We highly recommend Brian for your Videographer needs. Thank you again, Brian!

He walks you through each and very process step by step. He is very transparent with the fact that you will not even notice you are being filmed throughout the day. He even got by one of my most detail-oriented Bridesmaids after she saw the video! She wondered how he had gotten some of the shots without her even noticing him and his assistant ;) I will no doubt be recommending Fresh Wedding Cinematography to anyone and everyone I know looking for a videographer to make all of their wedding video dreams come true! A videographer is a must in order to re-live and to view your wedding day from a different perspective after having lived it in the moment and Brian is your man for the job!

This is such a weird review to write and sound sincere because I literally could not have been happier with our wedding video. I will start by saying I was working 2 jobs, buying a house and relocating while planning my wedding. Woof! That said...
I was very reliant on my wedding planner to handle a lot of the details. Placing trust in vendors is hard enough as it is let alone with how busy I was. Brian and the Fresh team were incredible. Brian made us feel totally confident during the planning process from creative meetings to check ins. We really felt we didn’t need to lift a finger after we chose to hire Brian. That feeling really flowed through to our wedding day. While I know he was there with me the entire day, I literally forgot I was being filmed. Our day was so magical and I loved sharing it with my family and friends. I am so happy Brian was there to capture it all. Having the video was something not all of our wedding decision makers thought was necessary, cough, dad, cough. But seeing the video a few months later even dad was a believer. This was the best money we spent. We get to relive our day whenever we want. Pre-pandemic we loved having people over and showing off our video. While we will be cozily viewing our video with our small gathering this holiday season, we are filled with joy knowing we can share this video with new friends for years to come. Covid hasn’t been kind to us but we are fortunate my husbands mother is alive today. She has a rough road to recovery and hopes to one day walk and dance again. Our wedding video inspires her to keep fighting to get back to the dance floor. Thank you Brian for the greatest gift that we will always cherish. Thank you for documenting my husband and his mother dancing. Thank you for the footage that has truly kept us going.

Having our wedding captured through a video was one of the most important priorities for us. We reviewed several (a LOT of) vendors but as soon as we saw Brian's work, we were set--it was the easiest decision we made during our wedding planning...
process and Brian did not prove us wrong.
**Before the wedding** Brian was very responsive to all our questions and requests. Because we cared so much, we were quite specific on what we wanted, and Brian was always professional, patient and honest with his recommendations. Brian also had questionnaires for us to fill in order for him to get a sense of what we liked in a video--it was helpful in guiding us to decide what we liked the most and showed how attentive and flexible he was to what wanted as opposed to applying a one size fit all template to all videos.
**Day of** Brian and his assistant arrived on time and immediately started filming. They were both very professional and stayed on schedule with our timeline which we really appreciated! We (my husband and I, our bridal party, our families) did not always know what to do. It was a lot of people to manage but Brian was great at giving directions and making us all feel comfortable. It ended up being really fun, and he was able to make us feel carefree during what could have been a stressful day.
**Wedding video** WE LOVE IT SO MUCH! We cannot express this enough. The choice of music, the drone shots, how Brian captured the sunset, how he tied the shots to the words being said in the video and to the music rhythm--it was so thoughtful. Our wedding was in French and English and we were wowed by how Brian mixed both languages in the video. We probably watched it a dozen times now, but Brian did such a good job capturing all the feels, love, and atmosphere of our big day.
We couldn't have asked for a better cinematographer. You rock, Brian!

The day of the wedding, we couldn't even tell he was there! He and his team were like shadows, documenting all of the festivities without ever being in the way or "forcing scenes", which is exactly what we were looking for. The turnaround time was just as expected and the final product was AMAZING. Everyone who watched it said it was just like watching a movie and we are so glad we decided to have videography- and even happier that we went with Brian! He created the most beautiful video of our special day that my husband and I now have to share with our kids. We plan on watching this every anniversary and are so glad we can re-live this day just like it was yesterday! Brian was such a pleasure to work with and was definitely one of our best investments from our special day.

Brian at Fresh Wedding Cinematography simply blew our minds with our wedding video. His work turned out AMAZINGLY, his initial phone calls with us ensured that we were a personality match (he's super chill but extremely good at what he does in ...
a fun and unobtrusive way), and his organizational skills and communication with us throughout made me very comfortable as a bride with so many moving pieces. I knew I never had to worry about Brian.
On our wedding day, I barely even knew he was there because he was so adept at working AROUND us and our loved ones. He was sweet and personable and sensitive to our needs on the day of and our family's privacy. He was so very sweet working with our photographer and other vendors as well...he just got along organically with everyone.
Now let me get to the finished product. The wedding video. When I say that I cry often in movies, it's not an understatement. But the raw feelings that I got watching our wedding video that Brian recorded and edited made both my husband and I well up with tears like I was walking down the aisle again. He can capture emotion and almost feel what his customers are feeling and express it in a package that will last forever. The music that he picked matched my emotions so well, I was almost alarmed! The edits and drone footage were both incredibly touching and also hilarious, when appropriate. All in all, Brian captured the FEELINGS of our day more than anyone else could. Of course the footage is beautiful, but I didn't think the feeling I got could ever be replicated from my wedding day. I was mistaken once I saw his video.
I couldn't give a higher recommendation than to use Brian and Fresh Wedding Cinematography for your wedding. The rates are extremely reasonable for the end product, and I feel like I got a forever wedding that I can keep returning to over and over again. Even our friends and family can't get enough of it! My husband was initially reluctant to have a "stranger" capture our wedding day via video, but he admitted he couldn't have been more wrong after seeing this video. It's as if Brian knew us throughout our whole courtship until our wedding day. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

Brian also guided us throughout the entire day of wedding and came up with creative ideas that translated to some amazing shots! Being a typical groom, I would be been so lost without their guidance.
After the wedding, my wife and I had such high expectations for our wedding video and it’s safe to say that Brian exceeded those expectations. His post-editing skills and creativity just show you that he is an artist. I loved the tone and spirit of the video and well as the music soundtrack that matched supurbly. The video was beautifally balanced with comedic tidbits that made for some great laughs. Once again, I can’t thank Brian and his team enough for their professionalism and creativity that resulted in our treasured wedding video.

our video even though our ceremony had no self written vows. I would definitely choose him again for his skill, level of finish and general vibe on the wedding day. He keeps things very calm and fun, which is a good balance to all the chaos that seems to go on that day. My one piece of advice to brides/grooms would be to make sure when you are filling out the questionnaire about the wedding beforehand, that you keep in mind that what you list as most important will be what he puts the most footage of in your highlight video. If I would have known that beforehand, it may have shifted my answers a bit because I was thinking more abstractly in terms of sentimental importance and not the importance of what I wanted to see most in the video. Regardless of that, our wedding video turned out beautifully and we will cherish it forever. I would definitely recommend!!

Brian's work as a videographer is top notch. We only hired him because he did my brother's wedding and when we watched my brother's wedding video, we were floored because it was leaps and bounds better than other wedding videos we have seen. ...
Before the wedding, you could tell that Brian and his team were prepared because they asked us to fill out a form with details such as wedding schedule, key people, and key moments we wanted to capture. That was all of the feedback that they needed to deliver, although we also did one phone call a few weeks before to finalize. We also liked that all of his pricing and packages were clearly outlined on his website and it was clear what we were getting.
During the wedding his team was thorough and did not require any hand-holding. They were true professionals. When my wife and I decided to spend the money to hire Brian, we wanted someone who was an expert and Brian and his team was exactly that. They captured all of the little details and directed us during the key ceremonies. He told us what to do and the video that was produced on the other end made what seemed like a normal wedding look amazing.
He also included an aerial drone in his documentary video and didn't just do a normal fly by, but also did artistic shots of the fountain at the venue from above and did walking shots of us with it. To top it all off, he did this when he was sick! The day-of, he looked very pale, but insisted that the show go on and did what he needed to deliver a great video.
Brian's post-production is his greatest strength because of the artistic touch he puts on all of the little and big moments of our wedding. Without direction from us, he found the best moments of the wedding and built a story around them, stitching them together in one timeline. It is clearly a work of art because he adds the right music, filters, and angles to present the story of our wedding, not just a cut of video chunks presented in chronological order. He used one of my groomsmen's speeches to narrate the key moments of the wedding, which I thought was really cool.
Worth every penny and I would hire him again not only to do weddings but other events. He was that good.

portant as everyone knows how things always change last minute. Brian's creativity showed through in his videos and he truly captured what we wanted to remember most from our wedding.
