Tom was an absolute dream to work with, and we are beyond thrilled that we chose him to capture our wedding day! He perfectly documented every beautiful moment, from the smallest details to the grandest highlights, giving us an abundance of stunning footage to relive our special day. On top of his incredible talent behind the camera, Tom went above and beyond by helping coordinate day-of events, which was such a huge plus and made the day run so smoothly. His professionalism, creativity, and warm personality made the entire experience unforgettable. I truly could not have asked for a better videographer and would recommend him to anyone looking to preserve their memories in the most perfect way possible!
Tom and his team were excellent! I could not have asked for a better videographer. He was extremely professional and the finished product was beyond beautiful! I would definitely recommend him for any of family and friends!
We had to pleasure to work with Tom! In our first meeting, he was detailed of what he focuses on when shooting a wedding and provided examples from his video gallery. He is all about telling the story of your wedding day! He was very professional with us, our families, and to our church. He respected our church wishes and was not a distraction at all! He also helped me, the bride, to calm down when I was very nervous and shared his experience when he was getting married. I felt better knowing I was not alone in my nervousness and the day turned out great! He also works very well with others and was flexible with our photographers. When we got the finished product, he created a gorgeous gallery for us where all the videos are located. The gallery was very organized and easy navigate. We could also download them which makes it easier to distribute to our families who want a copy of the wedding videos! The main film is beautiful and highlights all the best moments of the wedding! You can see examples of this on his YouTube as these best shows his skills and vision for each wedding! Overall, we highly recommend Gown and Tie as your videographer! Thank you for everything, Tom!
Tom was an absolute dream to work with as our wedding videographer. From start to finish, he was incredibly professional, attentive, and genuinely passionate about capturing every special moment of our big day. The quality of his work is simply outstanding—our video beautifully encapsulates all the emotions, laughter, and love we experienced. Tom has an exceptional eye for detail and a creative touch that brought our wedding video to life in a way we could have never imagined.Not only did he deliver a stunning final product, but he was also a pleasure to be around, making everyone feel comfortable and at ease. He seamlessly blended into the background, capturing candid moments without ever being intrusive. Tom truly went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding memories were preserved perfectly.We can't recommend Tom highly enough! If you're looking for a videographer who is talented, reliable, and dedicated to making your day unforgettable, Tom is the one to choose.
Tom exceeded our expectations. He was easy to work with and the results of his work were truly a dream come true for us. He was so detailed in capturing the heart of our wedding and giving us the opportunity to relive the happiest day of our lives. It was evident he listened to us in the details he captured on that day and even the music that he chose was phenomenal. I would say rush to book him! It’s absolutely worth it. I am so grateful Tom was a part of our day. I can’t say thank you enough!!
Simply put, I highly recommend Gown & Tie Films.
I had an amazing experience working with Tom. His communication was clear and sufficient working up to our wedding. As someone who doesn’t feel natural in front of a camera, his demeanor put me at ease. Tom captured our moments, is familiar with Monterey and worked well with our photographer. Tom put together a joyful video package that reflected our personalities. He was patient when it came time to craft the videos and sensed when I was unsure about preferences. He delivered videos that will be cherished for years to come.
Tom Gaglani was our videographer for our wedding on August 31, 2023. We chose him after seeing one of his videos on Instagram and it happened to be one at the venue we had chose - The Perry House. After watching many videos and styles we decided we liked the feel of Tom’s videos.
The process went smoothly from start to finish. Tom was very professional in communication and it was easy to schedule meetings. He listened and was receptive to the vision we had for our video.
The day of he and Felicia made everyone around feel comfortable and it never felt invasive during the day itself. They were fun and made us feel at ease.
The video itself was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. I cry every time I watch them.
I can’t recommend them enough! Thank you Tom and Felicia for capturing the memories from our trip wedding day.
I can not say enough positive things about Tom and his team! If I could give more than 5 stars I would! My husband and I got married August 2023 and Tom listened to our vision and ideas and incorporated everything we wanted but made it better then we could of imagined! We had video calls before the wedding which made me feel super confident that we were on the same page for the wedding! Tom is professional and takes his passion of videography very seriously! He is also very kind and easy to talk to! My teaser videos were delivered quickly and were top quality and when my husband and I got our main wedding film back we were in tears! He captured our day perfectly and it was amazing to see ourselves in such professional quality! If I were to do it all over again I would 100% use Tom and I will be recommending him to all my friends! If you want a high quality wedding film that turns your special day into a movie that you can watch over and over again on repeat, Tom is your guy!!!
Thomas was our favorite vendor at our wedding. Thomas made us feel incredibly at ease from our first conversation, and cared very much about what was important to us. He was highly communicative and responsive leading up to the day, but also very warm and professional. On the day of our wedding, he worked his booty off - it was 113 degrees and he was running around trying to capture every moment so our wedding video would turn out beautiful. I can't put in to words how much we valued his calming presence and laid-back, can-do attitude while still having an incredible attention-to-detail. I can't exclamation point enough that Thomas was an incredible gift on our wedding day. We received our wedding video after the wedding in a timely manner and it was the most beautiful testament to our love we could have asked for. It exceeded our expectations. If we could go back and do it all over again, we would choose Thomas as our videographer again and again!
As with many things that wedding planning involves, my husband and I were at first unsure about booking a videographer. We didn’t know if we needed one, and we worried that we wouldn’t find a good match. I can say, without a doubt, booking Tom as our wedding videographer was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.
We, and our families, absolutely love our wedding film! It went above and beyond our highest expectations! Tom perfectly captured the atmosphere of Nevada City, and created a film that felt authentic to the venue, our vision, and who we are. He is a master of capturing detail shots and working them into the overall narrative, and fitting a whole wedding into a well-paced, unique and cinematic feature. The scene of us leaving the altar felt like a Wes Anderson movie (and we *love* Wes Anderson). He and his partner have a true cinematographer’s eye.
Not only is the final film amazing, Tom’s planning, process and creative direction were a godsend! We appreciated every pre-wedding check-in, and are so, so grateful for his exceptional professionalism, enthusiasm for videography, and genuine dedication to bringing out the best in our wedding. Tom proactively communicated with our other vendors and coordinator, and ensured that everyone was on the same page. While editing the film he sent teaser clips and song choices, and provided accurate updates on the editing process. And most importantly, throughout the whole process Tom was so supportive, so encouraging, and so kind.
Tom’s work stand’s out from the rest while still feeling natural, authentic, and genuine. He’ll capture every key moment and all the right candid ones too. You will feel comfortable in front of the camera and involved in every step. I could not have asked for a better experience nor a better wedding film, and I am so, so, so thankful!
In short, Tom is actually the best!!!
Tom was an excellent videographer. He was well detailed and very willing to try new things with us. From the first consultation, he walked us through how he films and what we can expect. He then proceeded to ask questions about what we'd want our perfect wedding video to look like (songs, vibe, special occasions to cover, etc.)
The planning never stopped and he worked very well with all vendors to ensure he was on the same page with everyone come wedding day.
We are still awaiting our final film, but the teasers he sent us are spectacular and allow us to revisit our wedding day!
The best decision we made! They are professional, personable, punctual, and the end product was absolutely beautiful! Thank you for the amazing video that captured every important moment of the wedding day in a meaningful way! We can’t stop watching. Thank you!
When we hired Gown&Tie as our wedding videographer early in their business ventures, we had only one prior wedding video in their portfolio to base our decision on. Not only has our final video absolutely floored everyone who has watched it, Tom was one of the kindest, most dedicated vendors on our entire wedding day team. He took such a genuine interest in us as a couple and allowed us to weigh in on our priorities for capturing our big day. The memories he has given us are absolutely invaluable- we would hire him time and time again.
Just do it! You will not be disappointed!!! We questioned having video of our wedding done professionally…. But we made the decision to do it and I am SO glad we did. Tom and his brother put together such a special piece of our history for us…and I will cherish it forever. When we opened the video for the first time to watch it we were both in tears….it was so us -and just perfect. I am so glad we invested in photography and videography…. It is so worth it. Thank you Tom so much!
Our wedding video turned out absolutely amazing! Tom beautifully captured our whole day including our ceremony and speeches. The editing was top notch and he went above and beyond to capture everything and did additional research to ensure that we could use our requested song and various locations. He was so easy to work with, especially as our decision to hire a videographer was last minute. Tom made it a breeze and not hiring him as a videographer would have been a huge regret. Our video brings me (and many others!) to tears despite countless rewatches. I have gotten so many comments about how the video feels like a movie and those who couldn’t attend felt like they were really there - the videos perfectly capture the emotion, scenery and events of the day. We are so thankful to have these videos as a reminder of our wedding and are so grateful to Tom & his team for their efforts and talents.
Thank you Gown and Tie Films for making all of my wedding video dreams come true! I truly cannot say enough good things about Tom and his partner, Steve! They captured every single important moment from us getting ready til’ the dance floor closed down, had great ideas and gave great direction for the awkward “I don’t know what to do with my hands moments”, and truly made us feel so special and loved the entire time! They even came to our rehearsal the night before to scope the venue! I could honestly feel their passion for videography and making sure their couples feel 10000% satisfied throughout the whole day! Cannot recommend enough! 12 out of 10 stars, HIRE THEM! Thank you Gown and Tie Films for turning our day into something we can relive forever through your work!
If you’re in search of a videographer that will capture the essence of your big day, look no further. Tom is your man. His ability to capture the magic of the day astounded us and we recommend him 100% to anyone looking for a wedding videographer.
Tom stands out from the rest because of his organization, passion and creativity. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, we had several calls with Tom and a walkthrough of the venue to help the vendors prepare for the event. Tom came prepared with questions and suggestions to every call and was ready to provide solutions to each challenge that came up. He also wanted to coordinate with other vendors to ensure a smooth experience free of entanglements and last minute hiccups. On the day of the event, his punctuality allowed him to scout the venue and capture unexpected ambient shots. We greatly appreciated Tom’s timelessness and preparedness and know that any couple will feel the same way.
Secondly, we could sense that Tom is not shooting and editing to just make a few extra bucks. He is truly passionate about sharing his artform with his clients. My partner and I expected to have the day documented so we could always go back and reminisce. But, Tom’s willingness to go above and beyond simply capturing the day manifested a true labyrinth of footage. He is a storyteller; a talented artist with a vision.
Lastly, Tom’s creativity knocked us off our feet. His videographic style and editing prowess captured the essence of what our wedding was–a day of love and laughter in a beautiful setting. When we first watched the final video, we felt like we were reliving our wedding, but in a fresh and unexpected way. The way Tom incorporated audio from speeches, drone shots, and unexpected effects was captivating. Everyone we showed the video to agreed that the production quality and uniqueness stood out from other wedding videos they have seen. He gave us a gem that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
I’m confident in recommending Tom to anyone. If you are reading this, scouting potential candidates, please take my advice and hire Tom for the job. He will give you an exceptional experience. You will not only enjoy working with him, you will be left with a video treasure that your family will keep to remember the day forever!
We were absolutely blown away with Tom’s work and everything he was able to capture for our wedding day! Tom and his team were a pleasure to work with from day one. He is so professional, communicative, and was fun to have with us on our wedding day. His team worked behind the scenes and truly captured the best moments without knowing there were cameras there. We are so happy we were able to work with Tom and happy to have our wedding day so beautifully captured. HIGHLY recommend him for any wedding videography needs!!
You will be in good hands if you choose Thom as your videographer. He filmed our 120 person wedding while doing a live stream and even came to the rehearsal dinner to get extra footage. He also did our beautiful engagement photos. He is polite and easy to work with and very professional. Videography is so important to help remember all those moments you can’t get any other way. I highly recommend Thom and Weightless Views. Book him now before he gets scooped up!
Thomas was AMAZING from start to finish! My husband and I had a short engagement, and we were so fortunate to find Tom for our 50 person wedding. When budgeting for the wedding, I initially thought about skipping a videographer all together, to keep it budget-friendly. Now, I can’t imagine not having Tom and our amazing video! Let me tell you, as a videographer he captured every moment perfectly-- the perfect blend of candid moments, genuine interactions, beautiful surroundings, touching moments, and the overall joy! He really took his time getting to know us as a couple, and met with us over zoom to learn about our relationship and what we wanted out of the video. Tom took it upon himself to connect with our other vendors, to ensure they were working together seamlessly as a team, and all following the same timeline. He really knew what would make the best video, and made suggestions that I (a crazy detail oriented bride) had not even thought of. For instance, he got footage of me getting ready with my mom and two friends, but he suggested to get footage of my husband getting ready as well. My husband didn’t have any groomsmen, so I thought he could probably skip it, but Tom knew it would make the video great. Tom captured a special moment between my husband and his brother, one I would have never witnessed, and it made me cry instantly when I saw it! Another suggestion Tom gave was to wear mics for the best possible audio. Initially I was hesitant, as I thought there was no way that the mic could be concealed in my dress. Tom assured me it would be very small and discreet, and would even be white to match my dress. When I had arrived to the location, Tom was already there and he had mic’ed my dress… it was invisible! And I could barely feel it! He was so right—the audio made a big difference in the video! During the first look/bride and groom moments, Tom gave great direction, which made us so comfortable in front of the camera. That comfortability carried on through the night, as he and his second videographer captured the entire ceremony and reception. We had no idea he was even there half the time, which is a good thing because we could focus on the two of us and just living in the moment! When we got the video back (in less than a month!), we were in AWE. His level of detail is truly exceptional, and his work is so stunning. He exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are so grateful and honored to have had him capture our special day. Thank you Tom!!
Working with Weightless Views was beyond terrific. Tom’s professionalism and ability to grasp the necessary project details to capture what we were looking for left us more than impressed. We needed videography work and Tom came through. Tom has a keen eye that captured just the right imagery that we were looking for and took it to another level. Tom’s drone work was exactly what was needed to bring success to our project and Tom did just that. He even came through with quality still shots that we were able to use to elevate the exposure that was needed. We will work with Weightless Views again. If you are looking for quality videography you should consider giving Weightless Views a call.
Weightless views is an absolute pleasure to work with! Tom gives 100% to your project and we really felt like our story and dreams for our film and pictures were his highest priority! Tom is super communicative and easy to work with. Between his skill, compassion for your special event, and his attention to detail you are sure to have a film or pictures you are in love with and will cherish forever. Weightless views has done both family photos and videography for us.
Highly recommend! I had such a wonderful experience working with Weightless Views. I worked with Tom on several different projects. He brings such a creative perspective to each video he creates. You can tell how much he cares and wants to bring each story to life. With his use of his handheld camera and his drone, he got such amazing footage and edited it all together to make such amazing content. I will continue to use Weightless Views for all my family and business videos!
I have had the pleasure of working with weightless views on a couple different projects. Tom is dedicated to his craft and is very detail oriented. He takes your passion, makes it his passion, and captures it on film to share with the world. I highly recommend weightless views for anyone wanting high quality photography.
Weightless Views gets it. Tom is very passionate about what he does and it shows! He goes the extra mile to ensure the proper angles and that the editing is perfect. His shots are of the highest quality while also being unique. But perhaps most importantly, he is a high character guy who I would trust with anything, let alone a film. I would recommend Tom and his Weightless Views to anyone looking to get their life's most precious moments captured.
