Gilded Heart Films

I genuinely can’t say enough good things about Gilded Heart Films. Not only was the video itself something my family will cherish forever, but he added both a structure and a lightness to the event- he coordinated with our photographer and ushers, to create the perfect set ups and shots. He was so professional but welcoming. If you do one special thing for your wedding- hire GHF to make your wedding video. You won’t regret it.

Adrian filmed our wedding in January after I had decided last minute that I wanted a videographer, a week before our wedding! He gave me a great deal since it was the off-season, he blended in to the background during our wedding and the footage was great! Very professional

My father passed away 20 years ago and, sadly, the only copy of their wedding VHS was accidentally recorded over- my mother was completely devastated. When I saw Adrian’s work, I immediately knew he was The One (no pun intended!) to shoot her 2024 wedding video. And he did not disappoint! Not only was he incredibly professional throughout the process, but he also made it so easy to navigate- while still delivering the exact aesthetic and vision my mom had in mind. He took a process that is usually so fraught and stressful and made it fun, easily managed and professional! I’m so happy we went with Gilded Hearts Films, my mother now has a wedding video she can cherish for the of her life, with no worries of it being lost or recorded over!

My husband and I hired Adrian for our September 2023 wedding. We had just had to restart our search for a videographer after our previous one just wasn’t working out. Adrian was able to save the day entirely and made the process so easy and fun! The day-of went so smoothly. We loved that he had ideas on the fly to try out and made sure to capture some of the candid moments too. He was punctual, kind, friendly, and worked well with our photographer! After the wedding we definitely were looking forward to reliving the day through our video, and anticipated a much longer wait for our highlight video. But to our surprise Adrian delivered it a couple of months early! The edit was absolutely perfect. He captured every single thing we wanted and more. We’re so very grateful for choosing Adrian, we get to relive the best day of our life forever! If you’re considering Adrian, book him! You will NOT be disappointed!

Adrian was such a blessing to find for our wedding in July! We decided at the last minute (literally week of) that we wanted a videographer and he made it easy to get all of the details quickly and feel at ease about the addition. He took the time to get to know us and our story so he could encorporate all of the special details while filming and putting our video together. His communication was top tier and he has a gift for finding the unscripted moments and truly capturing the love of the day!

Professional, creative, knowledgeable, receptive, willing... I cannot say enough wonderful things about Gilded Heart Films. My goal was to find a creator I could work with and that would be open to my questions and ideas. Not to mention, Gilded Heart has a drone footage option to capture natural beauty!! Adrian did exactly that. The films he created were stunning, professional looking, affordable, of high quality, and were made with care without a doubt. I would absolutely recommend Gilded Heart Films to anyone looking for a videographer, especially for a wedding.

Adrian was amazing to work with. He was very easy to communicate with throughout planning and on our wedding day. We can't wait to see our finished video!

Excellent job! They were both so wonderful to work with and everything turned out so beautifully! I had no idea what to expect, but they definitely exceeded my expectations! Would definitely recommend!

I knew I wanted a videographer because it would help bring my wedding day to life when I go to look back on the big day. Adrian provided great communication/customer service and captured our day in such a beautiful way!

I knew I wanted a video keepsake. I was on a fb group and Adrian posted his content from past bride and grooms. These videos were beautiful. The colors. The angles. The way he goes from beginning to end. Everything my heart loves! I found more of his work through the knot. I reached out, he walked me through everything. His work over that year was just getting better and you could tell this is where his heart is. We spoke on the phone and I got all the guidance I needed. He made the most beautiful video, capturing things I would never have thought to be important and they were. I HIGHLY recommend him and his business Gilded Heart Films.

From the very beginning of the booking process, Adrian was amazing. Anyone trying to plan a wedding, especially in post-panini times, is probably going to feel like we did. Totally overwhelmed by the sheer amount of moving parts required, the vendors you need to contact, the vendors you need to follow up with (while walking on eggshells, afraid of Bridezilla-ing a vendor you REALLY want away) after you sent in a form request on their site and its been like nine days and did they get it or did they not get it, are they just busy, why didn't they reply? Send another one? Email the address on the site? Keep waiting?!?! Adrian got back to us super quickly. He set up a zoom call that went so smoothly and wasn't awkward at all. He explained the whole process to us, we even bonded about being unapologetic Cat People. We wanted to book him SO badly just based off his work on his site but after meeting him we definitely wanted him there for our day. I'm genuinely so glad he was available and that it worked out. The way he worked with our photog team, if I hadn't known better, I would have guessed they were all seasoned vets at working together. That's something I didn't expect. They communicated the whole time, shared ideas on shots, pointed out what looked best from what angle, and collaborated together seamlessly. I threw a wrench in the plans a little by being an anxious bride that didn't eat enough the morning of (tale as old as time) and sat in a corner vibrating like a nervous chihuahua when a big bulk of the shooting of getting ready and everything was meant to be happening. Adrian gave me space to vibrate back to earth and eat orange slices like a goblin in the corner and from the footage you can't even tell there was a gap in what was captured. What was captured was magical. Pure magic. Not only did he get us the raw footage and the social media highlight super quickly, I was stunned at the sweetness dripping out of every single frame. Adrian has an amazing eye for what to film. Not only that, he is the chillest dude and even for someone typically as photo-shy as I am, I was actually super comfortable? I can't even remember seeing him or his associate during the reception. They slunk around like alley cats but got everything important that we wanted to see again. We even got the videos before any sneak peeks from the photogs and the screenshots from the videos were SO good, I used them for our Christmas cards. Videography was so worth it. It captures something more than pictures. The moment my now-husband saw me for the first time, the way his neck started quivering. Our little glances and smiles at each other between big moments. Me wiping my tears as I dance with my brother, and the watery laugh that follows. Every moment is woven through with the spirit of the day. The day goes by in a blur. You're full of adrenaline and when you wake up sore, like you slept in a cement mixer, it's hard to remember specific details. All you remember is vignettes, an overall feeling. The human mind is an imperfect vessel, really. The highlight video reminded me of a thousand tiny moments that made the day perfect that were lost in the rush of it all, that would remain lost, without Adrian to give it to us to keep forever. Our day would not have been the same without him.

Adrain was phenomenal! He was my videographer for my wedding and Every detail was highlighted and was AMAZING!

Adrian did a phenomenal job on our wedding video! Although there was a hiccup and our date was double booked, he was super professional and offered to send an associate or allowed us to go with someone else. I am so glad we decided to stay with him!

Adrain did a fantastic job capturing our wedding day! I have received so many compliments on our film I highly recommend going with Adrain to film your big day! He was so easy to work with, and he really knows what he is doing.

Our film turned out amazing. We were able to select the song within his system and he even made a change that we requested in a matter of hours. It turned out amazing and the pricing was great for the quality. He hired out a videographer as he couldn’t be there and he turned out amazing and did great work. The edit made for the film were so good. Can not recommend this company enough.

Adrian killed our wedding film. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone

Adrian was the bomb! He knew what he was doing throughout the day and was attentive on what he wanted to shoot! His communication was very clear and I can’t wait to see how our video turns out!
