Chris did an amazing job on our video! We didn't really want a several hours long continuous and stationary video. After reviewing some of his other work we hired him specifically to put together a 4 minute video to a song we could share with everyone but that would capture the emotion of the entire evening and he delivered! We have watched over and over again. He made the experience fun and stress free. In addition to our edited video we were also provided all of the raw video he shot throughout the night totaling about 700GB of data! It's been great seeing everything we missed throughout the night and how much fun our guests were having. His equipment is amazing making a truly professional video. -Natalia & Michael
Chris was fun and engaging! He was prompt and was there to capture our amazing wedding. Thank you!!!
We hired Chris to capture our Wedding Day video throughout the entire day and evening from getting ready pre ceremony all the way through cake cutting. Chris was so friendly to work with and was always so calm and was there to capture every moment of our big day. Chris never left our side and worked side by side of the photographer to get the best angles and moments for our video. Thank you Chris for your
professionalism, talent, and overall cool and collected demeanor on our Wedding Day! We are so grateful that you were there to capture every important moment that we can cherish forever!
Due to COVID wife and I had two separate wedding dates, one in 2020 and another a year later in 2021. Chris worked both events and was great! He is easy to work with, showed up on time and coordinated with our photographer on site. He is able to get great footage without being obnoxiously in the way of the event like some wedding photographers are. Afterwards he put the footage from both events together in one combined video, which came out amazing! Fully recommend to all couples.
Unfortunately due to Covid, my wedding was cancelled. I was really looking forward to working with Chris as his work looks AMAZING. He was very easy to communicate with and really demonstrated excellent customer courtesy throughout the entire wedding planning process. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone planning a wedding. Hoping to use him for future events.
First of all - If you are on the fence about getting wedding video, JUST DO IT. It's completely worth it.
I wasn't picky about much for the wedding, but having been in the entertainment industry for over a decade, I was incredibly picky about our videographer. Had to be someone who really gets us and can capture a beautiful moment. After going through a ton of videos, I just loved Chris's aesthetic.
I reached out to him and he got back to us very quickly. We had a phone call and honestly, we didn't talk much about weddings. We talked about film, film school, the entertainment industry. In other words, he's awesome! We booked him without meeting him in person, but we knew he was the guy! I literally met him as I walked down the aisle. And, I think I even said hi! LOL!
Chris is SUPER friendly and a great communicator. We never had any trouble getting in touch with him at all and he really did a great answering all of our questions.
At the wedding, Chris and Charles were SO AMAZING. They were like video ninjas - never in the way, but also very present! They really felt like part of our framily. We would totally hang out with them.
Then... the video showed up. OMG. It's so good. We keep watching it. OVER AND OVER. He did SUCH a wonderful job. Everyone loves it!
Just stop here and hire him. Take my sentimental bridal and my professional showbiz word for it - YOU WONT REGRET IT!
Thank you, Chris!
We are in love with our wedding trailer! and so is everyone else! we have gotten so many comments about how well done it is! Chris did such a an amazing job capturing every moment, including many of our then 18 month old daughter, who was only present for parts of the wedding. The timing matches up so well to our song that it tells a story. We enjoyed working with Gilifilms the day of as well! My husband was really enjoying cracking jokes into the microphone lol. If your looking for someone creative and thoughtful then book now!. If we could give more stars we would!
Chris and Charles were fantastic! Leading up to the day, Chris was so easy to work with. He totally understood what we wanted and we have no doubt that he captured it. The day of, they were so fun to work with - cracking jokes, making everything super easy. They were around the whole evening but never in the way - they were basically floating throughout the dance floor capturing all of the best memories of the night. Highly recommend working with Gilifilms for your wedding.
Working with Chris was an absolute breeze and we are thrilled with the finished product. He answered all our questions right away and was very attentive to any specific requests/comments/questions.
On the day, he was the perfect blend of "out of the way" and right where we needed him. Fly on the wall in the best way.
The videos take a little time to get to you, but that's because he puts a lot of time and effort into editing them. For example, we had a 17ish min and 4ish min long videos. The 4 min wasnt just the highlights of the 17, there were separate shots in both.
Thank you Chris!

Chris is amazing to work with. He reached out to me to see what special parts of the evening he should be sure he captured and for an approximate timeline to make sure the correct equipment was ready at that exact moment. The day went super smoothly and he was awesome.
If you are looking for a videographer stop right now. Chris is absolutely amazing. He made me and my husband feel so comfortable on our wedding day. It felt as though we were hanging out with an old friend. And I just got my video back and WOWW. I can’t even begin to describe what I’m feeling right now. My video was more than I could imagine in my wildest dreams. Every single moment and minute was perfect. I have no words. Just thank you thank you thank you SOOO MUCH.
I am so beyond pleased with our wedding footage! We received 3 DVDs, a highlight clip, and tons of raw footage from both the ceremony and the reception. Chris did an amazing job capturing all of the love and laughter from the day. We were able to enjoy the day naturally, as if there wasn't a camera following us or our guests around at all! We are really so psyched with our final video and couldn't have asked for anything better suited for us.
I am so so happy with the way our wedding video turned out! I am kind of picky, and was turned off to a lot of videographers that had cheesy video examples on their website. This was the complete opposite. Very nicely done, and Chris is very friendly to work with. And quick to respond to emails. I don't normally write many reviews, but I would definitely recommend Gilifilms to anyone. We didn't have a huge wedding budget either, but his price point was something we could afford, and having a great video like this is worth more than anything.
I just got my wedding video back from Chris and I've already watched it 50 times. He captured every single moment and the essence of our wedding in a beautiful trailer with the most PERFECT song that everyone loves! Chris was super easy to work with in the planning process, highly responsive and fast! On our wedding day, we barely noticed that we were being followed around with a camera yet every little moment was captured.
The one thing I would recommend to ANYONE getting married is to not skimp on your videographer- this is the way that you'll be able to revisit your wedding day for years to come.
HIRE CHRIS you won't regret it!!! :)
Being the extremely nostalgic person I am, I knew from the get-go that my husband and I HAD to have a videographer for our big day. I spent hours on The Knot and Wedding Wire combing through highlights of everyone's work and getting price quotes. After I saw Chris' work I knew he was the right choice for my husband and I. Not only were the videos perfection, but the music choice was on point- and I needed the music to fit perfectly too :)
Chris and his team got to our venue bright and early and immediately got to work with arial shots and getting ready. For a guy who had to hang out with a bunch of girls for 4 hours straight, through hair, makeup and whatnot- he was a CHAMP! Then when the ceremony and everything got started, he was very discreet (something my parents were very worried about).
Gilifilms is in high demand, which is the only thing that I was a little bummed about, because it took the full 6 months to receive our video. BUT the trailer AND the video were both absolutely amazing. The music selections fit perfectly throughout, and the shots were breathtaking.
I cannot say enough good things about Chris and his team. He was always around to talk whenever I had questions or concerns (which, sorry Chris- I know there were a ton). Gilifilms is the best choice for your wedding day videographer needs!!
I really wish I could give Chris and his team more stars. Their work- perfection. We hired Gilifilms for our wedding, and they exceeded every expectation we had (trust me- they were high)! If you're looking for someone who works tirelessly to ensure your video is personalized and encompasses everything you are as a couple, Gilifilms is what you're looking for. They're professional, responsive, creative and thorough. I could go on and on with all the reasons why hiring Gilifilms will be one of the best decisions you can make in your wedding planning process, but I think you get it already. THANK YOU GILIFILMS for making our wedding video everything we could've wanted and more!
My husband and I had a rather tight budget for our wedding day. But of all the expensive bits & bobs weddings usually have, the one thing that we weren't willing to negotiate on was our videographer.
Having worked in TV post production, it was very important to me to have a quality wedding video. I worked with Chris for only a short time, but I knew his editor resume to be extensive and his work to be flawless. I'm usually pretty strict about being in front of the camera because of nerves. But Chris is the type of person who immediately meshes in with the crowd and it just feels like you go way back together. He was easy to reach whenever I had a question or needed advice on wedding planning, vendors, etc. On top of that, his entire crew was extremely professional, accommodating and warm. I knew we would be in excellent hands.
When the big day arrived, it unexpectedly rained. What was supposed to be a spacious garden wedding turned into a crammed indoor wedding with barely any room to move around. It was even a squeeze going down the aisle in pairs. Our processional performers were no longer hooked up to the sound system we rented due to lack of space. I was a bit worried about the angles they might not be able to capture and whether the sound would be acceptable for editing later on. But they were prepared with their stealthy, ninja-like maneuverability, their handy-dandy back-up mics and most importantly, their can-do attitudes. Chris, his lovely fiancee Jenn & the crew made it a priority to assure us that everything would go smoothly... and it did!
It's true what they say - your wedding day goes by very fast. No matter how many times we attempted to take it slow the day of and really breath everything in, it's simply impossible to do. We are so grateful to the Gilifilms crew because we get to re-watch one of the best days of our lives ... EVERY. AMAZING. AND DOPEY MOMENT.
There simply aren't enough stars to give Chris and his crew the rating they deserve. We will continue to spread the gospel of Gilifilms! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! A MILLION x INFINITY + 1 THANK YOU!!!! :D
We hired Gilifilms for our wedding video this past October and we’re blown away with the quality and service we received from Chris and his fiancée ( I’m sorry I forgot your name🤗). They were early and got amazing location shots as well as capturing our first looks without a second thought. They came with two people which was a surprise and brought unexpected bonus technology including a three D camera which came out amazing! Throughout the day they were always there capturing what seemed like every moment of our big day without being obstructive or drawing attention to themselves. We had a unique venue which included a carousel and they jumped right in there using it and creating amazing video with the 3D camera. They’re were both so sweet and seemed really involved and encouraging, we were thinking we would be nervous on camera but they made it no big deal. The videos we got back blew us away. The 5 minute highlight made us feel like we were in a movie, it was edited beautifully with our song and really captured the pace and tone of the day amazingly. Thank you so much!! Would recommend without a second thought to anyone looking for videography!
Chris was totally awesome to work with. He was pleasant and friendly leading up to the wedding, and did such an awesome job on the day of our reception. He was so incredibly nice and unobtrusive, and seemed to capture all the important moments. We can't wait to see the finished product when we return from the honeymoon!
A++++++++
We have been using Gilifilms for a few years now and could not be happier with our videos. Chris has a natural talent for Videography and always captures the best moments throughout our events that leave my whole family in happy tears )) He definitely knows what he's doing , using cool filters , combining video with the music, etc . He's very easy to work with . Chris has done my Bridal shower, our wedding and our daughters Baptism . And each time he delivered a quality product for a reasonable price .If you need your beautiful memories to be captured by a professional I absolutely recommend to use Gilifilms !!!
Gilifilms created an amazing video for our gender reveal party. They do fantastic work and have a very creative outlook. Great to work with and super professional. I highly recommend them!
I have used Chris for each of my daughters birthday's to do video. The videos themselves are fantastic, but even more than that, I like Chris' vision. It was his idea to cut them all together for her Sweet 16, Wedding, etc. later on in life. I was beyond happy with his professionalism, his courteous nature and the end product. I would highly recommend using him to anyone for any event.
We asked Chris and his team last minute to do the videography for our wedding. He was very accommodating and really did a great job. We were very impressed with the quality of his work. The video was very artfully done from the camera angles down to the music. We highly recommend!
Amazing videographer! Used this company for my daughters 1st birthday and couldn't have been more pleased! Very professional and the video came out amazing! I know many other people that have used them and they had many wonderful things to say as well!!
I used Gilifilms for several occasions and I was beyond happy with them. Chris and Jen are a dynamic duo and they were able to capture moments that I will be able to look back on for years to come. I highly recommend Gilifilms to and I look forward to using them for future occasions!
