We couldn't be more thrilled with the wedding video created by Gavin Law Films! Gavin traveled over three hours to capture our special day, and his dedication truly shows. From the moment he arrived, we felt completely at ease, which made a world of difference. Unlike other experiences we've had with videographers and photographers, Gavin was unobtrusive and blended seamlessly into the background, allowing us to focus on enjoying our day.
The final product is nothing short of incredible. He expertly captured all the candid moments that made our wedding unique, and the footage beautifully tells our story. The packaging of the final video was also impressive, showcasing his attention to detail and passion for his craft.
We honestly wish we had more occasions to create films just to work with him again. We can’t wait to share these cherished moments with our family for years to come. If you're looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely wonderful videographer, look no further than Gavin Law Films! Highly recommend!
To us, a videographer was among the most important vendors we would book for our wedding — because that video would be how we will remember our day for years and years to come. We wanted someone with a clear style and creative POV. Not only did we find that with Gavin and Gavin Law Films, but we found a wonderful human being with whom we were thrilled to share our special day.
After vetting a number of videographers for our wedding, it was a no brainer to go with Gavin! His cinematic skills and videos are what drew us in, but it was him as a person and professional that kept us! Throughout the year we spent planning our wedding, we had multiple conversations and calls with Gavin. He was always responsive and helpful with helping make our vision and day come to life! The week of the wedding we had a call to walk us through what our day with him would look like, and it was very important to us to have that communication and reassurance. The day of our wedding came and Gavin helped make it as smooth as possible. He helped talk us through everything he was doing and what was to come. When we got our video back it was the most incredible feeling being able to relive our day! When you are the bride and groom, the day is such a whirlwind that you miss so much. It was the best decision having a videographer for our wedding and choosing to go with Gavin!
Any questions?
Gavin really did an amazing job at our wedding. He was able to capture every moment and worked perfectly with our photographer and other vendors. Thanks again Gavin!
Gavin is your guy for the best wedding videos. He was at our venue for 10 hours to make sure he captured every part of our day, drone footage of the venue is included in the costs, and the finished product flows perfectly.
Stop searching and hire Gavin. We knew when we were searching that his work would be beyond excellent - and he delivered.
Long story short; Gavin is AWESOME and you should book him.
He was SUCH a pleasure to work with for our wedding videography. I’m talking from beginning to end - every step of the way - all around AWESOME. Our wedding was a bit non-traditional and Gavin never made us feel like what we were planning was too much or not enough.
Our guests raved about him and he mingled with everyone seamlessly.
He is organized and structured to ensure he gets all he needs to make your wedding video perfect but presents it with a reassuring no-pressure demeanor.
And the end result?!?! My husband and I are BLOWN AWAY with our wedding video. I couldn’t have asked for better experience and am so so so thankful we chose Gavin for our special day.
I genuinely have nothing bad to say and want to thank Gavin endlessly for making our day THAT much more special. Again - if you’re on the fence … book him, you won’t regret it.
Gavin created such a wonderful wedding video for us that we will cherish the rest of our lives! He was so discrete throughout the day but managed to capture all the best moments without us even noticing. We definitely recommend Gavin for your wedding film needs. He was professional and easy to work with and created such a great product for us.
To all future brides & grooms: PLEASE invest in Gavin. Having a wedding video to look back on is literally irreplaceable. Being able to see all of our loved ones singing, dancing, talking, and laughing is a true joy and having it immortalized forever in video form is an absolute treasure. If you're sold on videography but not sure who to go with, let me share the amazing experience we had with Gavin.
During our planning sessions, Gavin went above and beyond to accommodate and let us know he understood our vision and prioritized what we wanted to have captured. Our final film was absolutely stunning - and having all of the raw footage to view whenever we want is a privilege and a rarity.
Above all else, the thing I want you to most know about Gavin is how truly supportive he is. Watching back all of the wedding raw video you just constantly hear Gavin say "Looks great!" or laughing along to our jokes, reassuring us, and putting us at ease. Having a companion with us for our entire day who felt like a friend or part of the family was absolutely priceless.
I would recommend Gavin as one of the most crucial vendors we had during our wedding!
I could not be more thankful and grateful that we found Gavin and chose him to be our videographer for our wedding day! Gavin is extremely talented and what makes it even better is that he is so down to earth and such a great person.
He met with us for a long consultation well before we "chose" him via a zoom call. He spent well over an hour getting to know us and discussing his video packages, so we never ever felt rushed or pressured.
Communication with Gavin was excellent all the way up to our wedding day - we never had to "chase" him down.
I can't say enough good things about how professional and kind he was on our wedding day itself- made us feel so comfortable and the final product was BETTER than we could have ever imagined. We chose to receive the wedding day trailer, 5-7 minute film, and edited ceremony...he worked SO quickly and sent us the videos to look at on our own personalized website - then a few days later we received a beautiful package with a personalized wooden box and USB, as well as hard drive with all our raw footage.
We cannot say thank you enough to Gavin for the product he created for us and how grateful we are to be able to view these memories for years to come. If you are considering hiring a videographer, look no further than Gavin!!!
If you are wavering on whether to have a videographer at your wedding, I can say I was in the same boat and am so THANKFUL that I did and that we went with Gavin Law. He is immensely talented and our video is so much better than I expected. The day went by so fast and I was worried about little things, and getting to relive the moment and laugh and cry all over again is absolutely worth it! Gavin is also a down to earth person once you spend all day together you feel like friends.
We were on the fence about getting a videographer. We called around to a few but we had not spoken to one that fit us. That was until we talked to Gavin. After speaking to him we knew he would be the perfect match! And we we’re right. Gavin was able to capture our unique and quirky wedding in the most beautiful manner. He fit in seamlessly with our photographer and we quickly became comfortable around him. It didn’t even feel like we had a videographer there. He captured us in the most beautiful manner and made us something we will be able to cherish for years to come. We cannot recommend Gavin enough to any couples getting married, you won’t regret your choice. Thank you Gavin for helping us capture our special day!
We could not be more thrilled with our wedding video! It was everything we hoped for and so much more! Gavin is phenomenal at what he does, and was wonderful to work with. He was kind, organized, and was very helpful throughout the entire wedding process. We 10/10 recommend him!
Gavin was so flexible the entire day. He was there from start to finish. He had amazing ideas to get great footage, but also listened to our ideas and made them happen beautifully. The final product is absolutely a treasure and the memories he gracefully captured are something we will always be grateful for!

Thanks Colleen for the review! You guys rock!
Gavin was absolutely incredible to work with. From our first Zoom meeting with him a year prior to the wedding to the big day, he made a point to get to know us and checked in on us regularly. He was very patient with all of us the day of and has a very calming presence! We absolutely love our teaser video and final product! Gavin perfectly captured our day - both the emotional side of it and the giant party at the end! I'd highly recommend him to anyone getting married!
Response from the Vendor on 09/30/2022
Thank you for the review! You guys are awesome!
Throughout our entire wedding process-which became quite lengthy due to the pandemic-Gavin was fantastic to work with and provided a sense of calm where there was very little. Not only did he provide us with a remarkable wedding video which truly captured the magical feeling of the entire day, but his presence directly contributed to the success and happiness of our wedding day. I am still amazed at how well he was able to combine all of the day's festivities into one cohesive narrative which included everything from our getting ready process, to our vows, and late night party antics. If you are looking for not only a professional, but an exceptional videographer I highly suggest booking with Gavin Law Films.

Thanks Shelby! I loved shaping your day into your wedding story!
Gavin was the absolute perfect addition to our day. His style, personality, kindness and attentiveness to detail sets him apart and makes him one of the best! We were torn whether or not to hire a videographer, and are so glad that we made the decision to do so! He captured so many moments that we missed due to the day being so busy. We’ve watched our video so many times already and I am so happy that we have it to cherish for years to come. I would recommend Gavin in a heartbeat to anyone! You absolutely will not regret it!
Response from the Vendor on 09/30/2022
I'm so glad you guys hired me! It was and awesome day for sure! Thanks for the review!
Our wedding was a small family affair & even though this was the first time meeting Gavin in person, he fit right in. We never felt uncomfortable and as a result our film was genuine and amazing. We would wholeheartedly recommend Gavin Films for your memorable wedding. Thank you again Gavin!
Response from the Vendor on 09/30/2022
Thank you for making me feel welcome! Thanks for the great review!
before we booked Gavin, we had shopped around for a videographer. after my first meeting with him, I knew he was the one to choose - he was so personable & wanting to know all about Steve & I. before our wedding we had a video chat where we went through our timeline of the day & what we should expect. the day of, Gavin came ready to work. he was so down to earth & friendly, he really made things less awkward than you would think having someone follow you around with a camera all day would be. we just received our cinematic film & it is more than I could have imagined (some of our friends & family say it is the best wedding video they have ever see ; I obviously am partial to that statement). I could not say more nice things about the work, the professionalism, & the manner of Gavin. if you are looking for a videographer to capture your special day, please consider him - you will NOT be disappointed!!!
Response from the Vendor on 09/30/2022
I love that you said I made things less awkward because I can be awkward at times, but I always like to make you guys feel comfortable with me! I'm glad you guys found me! Thanks for the great review!
Gavin was so easy to work with, and made our videography dreams come true. We had been on the fence about hiring a videographer, but are so glad we did!! He has such a unique style - everyone has said it was their favorite wedding video and that it is almost like a movie trailer. He did a fantastic job and we will happily recommend him to all our family and friends. My husband is even talking about having more of our wedding footage edited in the future for one of our anniversary’s ♥️ Thanks Gavin!
Response from the Vendor on 09/30/2022
Yeah Buddy! Thanks Sophia for the review! Can we live your wedding day over again!
We hired Gavin for our wedding on 9/4 and even though we have not seen our video yet I had to post a review. Gavin was GREAT to work with. He kept in touch with us throughout the process and offered so many options for packages. Wedding day came and Gavin was there to capture every silly, romantic, and some awkward moments. He was professional and friendly and helped to make our whole day perfect. He worked great with our photographer and was wonderful to all of our guests. We are SOOO excited to see what masterpiece he comes up with for our day. If you’re on the fence about hiring a photographer, watch Gavin’s videos…then hire him.
Response from the Vendor on 09/30/2022
Thank you for the very kind review!
Gavin was incredible, he's so friendly and professional, and the video he made us was perfect, it's exactly how we wanted to remember our wedding for the rest of our lives!
Response from the Vendor on 09/30/2022
Thank you for the review Ian! You guys are so much fun!
I cannot speak highly enough of Gavin. I also work in video so I wanted someone who I could trust to film our wedding at my standards and wouldn’t have to stress about getting the shots I wanted. Gavin exceeded my expectations above and beyond. From day one I was impressed by his creativity and skill. But on top of that he is incredibly professional, personable, and attentive. I never ONCE had to chase him or reach out to him first. He called, emailed, sent information to prepare us for what to expect on our day, and was always on top of everything before I had to ask. He was the only one of my vendor who did this. Getting married during COVID-19 our plans were flipped upside down and constantly changing, and Gavin was so understanding and accommodating. The situation was stressful enough and knowing we could rely on Gavin made our lives so much easier. We had so much fun having him on our day. He made it a point to really understand who we are and authentically capture our story. If you ever question if video at your wedding is worth it 1. It’s 100% is worth it and more and 2. Hire Gavin to capture it. You won’t regret either.

OMG! You are so kind! I loved filming your day! It was a beautiful day for sure! Hope you guys are doing great!
We hired Gavin last minuet for our mini Covid wedding, and I am so glad we did. The video he gave us was worth a million dollars, and my husband, friends, and family have enjoyed watching it over and over. He listed to my vision and produced everything we wanted. Also the video quality and the way it was pieced together was fantastic!

Thank you for the amazing review! What a beautiful day you guys had! Thanks for letting me be a part of it!
Gavin was excellent to work with and we are thrilled with how our video turned out. We would definitely recommend him!
Response from the Vendor on 09/30/2022
Thank you! It was great to work with you guys!
Gavin did such an amazing job of capturing our wedding day! He was able to highlight all of the most special moments throughout the day in our feature film. He does all of this also while being completely unobtrusive. When I posted our video on social media I actually had people tell me they didn’t even think we had a videographer there that day, he blends in that well! Gavin was super accommodating and easy going, just amazing to work with. We wouldn’t change a thing about our choice to work with Gavin and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a videographer for their big day!
Response from the Vendor on 09/30/2022
Thank you for the great review! I'm an easy going, friendly, ninja behind the camera. lol
First thing I would like to say about Gavin is that he has an absolute gift! He just shared our featured wedding video with us and it captured our day in a way I couldn't have asked for. He made the day memorable by perfectly capturing not only the important details, but the small ones as well so we can hold our day exactly the way it was forever. Not only did he capture everything, but he is extremely skilled in his work and sent us a very professional, well done video that make us look like movie stars! He also was incredibly professional in his behavior on the big day. He was present in the intimate moments to capture them, however was very good at making himself almost unnoticeable as to not interrupt the important moments. I was nervous to have him and the photographer in the room with us when we were getting ready because I wanted it to be an intimate moment with me and my girls, however he was extremely professional and quietly videoed in the background so he wouldn't interrupt.
Throughout the whole day he did not stop working and made sure he captured every detail of the day. To me, the quality of the work is important, however I think the person who will be with you on your big day is just as important. I 100% 10/10 recommend Gavin as a videographer for your wedding. He is extremely cooperative in making sure he captures your day the way you want and he does a BEAUTIFUL job! Thank you, Gavin!
Response from the Vendor on 06/03/2022
wow Carrie! Such nice words! Thank you so much for having me be your wedding filmmaker! Congrats you two!
Gavin did such a wonderful job capturing our day exactly as we remember it. He included allll of our favorite moments from our day into our highlight video, and we are so so thankful for that. I have absolutely no complaints about Gavin, he was so professional and prepared on our day, and the end result was just perfection. When my grooms tie became unstitched, Gavin came to the rescue with a spare tie clip. When I was overcome with emotion during our first look, hugging my husband-to-be at the time so hard, I got lipstick on his collar, Gavin was armed and ready with a tide-to-go stick! He really is so much more than a videographer. He invests in the couple, and does anything possible to contribute to your day going as smoothly as it possibly can. All the while capturing all of the special, little and big, moments so seamlessly. We are so grateful for Gavin and his team. We cannot thank you enough. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

Thank you Melissa! You guys rock!
Gavin Law- You are so much more than just a videographer. You came to our rescue throughout the day with your emergency kit that you were so well prepared with. First, the tie clip for Oscar’s tie that broke, then the tide-to-go pen for when I got lipstick all over my groom’s collar during our first look. It was obvious you cared about making our day as seamless as possible. Not to mention, your amazing ability to help capture the most important moments throughout the day. We loved seeing how you work, and you attention to detail. Because of that noted quality of yours, we have no doubt that you will put together an amazing video showcasing our wedding and all of the love that was present. So grateful to have you there capturing the laughter, the faux pas, the tears, the crazy dancing and so much more. Thank you.

Gavin did an absolutely beautiful job with our wedding video! Our family and friends love being able to relive our special day through this gorgeous work of art! He captured all of the little moments and details and gave us something we will look back on for years to come. Gavin was great to communicate with through the entire process of booking and delivering our video and was a much needed calming presence on our wedding day. He and his team are truly like film ninjas, capturing everything without being seen. We highly recommend Gavin if you’re looking for a videographer!

Thank you Jennifer! I loved filming your day and getting to know you guys!
I cannot recommend Gavin enough! He did such an incredible job capturing our wedding! From the very beginning he was there to guide my husband and I through the process, share ideas and really come to understand our vision for our wedding video. Once the wedding day arrived he was there from beginning to end and he captured every moment! Once we received our video we were thrilled and it definitely far exceeded anything we could have imagined! He made our day look a like a fairytale!

I couldn’t be happier with our experience with Gavin. He is personable and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. He was so wonderful to work with. He made our wedding day so easy; sometimes I forgot he was even there. We just received our videos back and are completely shocked at just how PERFECT they are. You will regret it if you don’t choose Gavin Law Viedoraphy for your wedding.
