Odil came to video our wedding! He gave us a great deal for what we wanted which was significantly less then what other videographers asked. He got great footage of our ceremony, i...
nterviews from guests, the first dances, cake cutting, bouquet and garter toss, and all the dancing at the party! We are so happy that we have it on video now and can see how happy we were and everyone else was on our special day!

UzLand Productions provides not only a great value and prompt service, but also a great, smooth experience and high professionalism. Because the founder of the company is a profess...
ional journalist at a major news organization and has a M.A. from a top university in U.S., it gives him the rare edge over competition. He is able to think much faster than others and improvise in the ever-changing environments of large weddings and parties. He is also using top-notch equipment that is often much better or better than the equipment used by top venues (in my case it was Mayflower Hotel in Washington DC, whose HD camera was not as good as Uzland's). Thus, I would highly recommend Uzland productions to anyone who expects great results.

We got married in Nov 2012 and we felt the work done by Uzland Productions was amazing!
Uzland Productions worked with us as we determined the timeline for the day and listened ...
to our request and captured the essential moments throughout the wedding and reception.
After receiving the DVD copies, we truly enjoyed watching and re-living the wedding and reception and we couldn’t wait to share with our families and friends. The quality of the DVDs were great and we strongly recommend getting the highlight video as it did an awesome job showing the events of both the wedding and reception.
We highly recommend Uzland Productions for any couple who wants professional and high quality videographer service that will capture all the moments that make weddings and receptions special and enjoyable!

Odil did a great job capturing our wedding. He was hardly noticeable throughout the event, but somehow managed to capture everything that went on the entire day. We loved watching ...
all of the details of the day and having everything on film for our families. Don’t listen to anyone who says that you don’t need a videographer for your wedding- the video captures so much more that cannot be captured by the photographer- not that we don’t absolutely love our pictures, but having everything on video is just as important and worthwhile. I would definitely recommend Odil- he is easy to work with, responsive and a delivers great product!

I absolutely loved working before, during and after the wedding with Odil (UZLand Productions). I couldn't have had a better wedding video and a great highlight video! My expectati...
ons were exceed (and I'm a journalist) and I receive compliments about my videos from everyone. Odil pays attention to every detail and is very FAST to deliver the video, still with high quality. He's very patient, incredible friendly and answers e-mails and phone calls very fast, too. I would recommend him to all my friends, as I've done already.

nd the full video to relive the wedding! My only recommendation would be to make sure you mention certain people you want to see so he knows who to highlight in the video. We thought the quality of the video was great and liked that each video Odil does is unique.

Where do I begin…It was time for me to pick my wedding videographer and I was completely lost! I was also the first out of my friends to get married, so I didn’t have the benefit o...
f having any recommendations. Also did I mention I was having a traditional Pakistani wedding with over 300 people…and yes it was a 3 day event! So obviously I was way over my head already.
I contacted a few South Asian wedding videographers thinking because they knew the culture; it would be easier for them to capture exactly what I wanted. But to my surprise most of them did not respond, responded late, or were very short with me. Hello! I am paying you to capture one of the most important days of my life…I would expect my videographer to at least be thorough with me.
Any way…I decided to take matters into my own hands. I turned to wedding wire for help. I came across Uzland Productions. I liked what I saw and decided to contact Odil. I am not going to lie, I was a bit skeptical about hiring someone that was not familiar with South Asian weddings, but at this point I didn’t know what else to do. Not only am I MORE than happy I picked Odil to capture my wedding….but the service I received in return was beyond exceptional.
Odil was professional, ALWAYS ON TIME (which was key esp for a 3 day event), he was always quick to respond to my emails and phone calls (which is VERY rare), he actually cared about what I wanted, and most importantly he KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING! I gave him very little direction to begin with…briefing him on what I wanted to be captured each night, and to my surprise he captured exactly what I wanted and special moments I did not even ask him to! I was MORE than happy with my wedding videos. Even much so…that yes, I cried the first time I watched them. I knew Odil was good, as I had seen his work before. But honestly I did not expect my wedding videos to be perfect. I am so very very very grateful I came across his page. I can’t imagine anyone else capturing my events the way he did.
I seriously recommend Uzland Productions to everyone! Especially if you are having a South Asian wedding! Trust me, Odil knows what he is doing. With all the havoc that went on during my 3-day event he DID NOT miss a thing!
If you are looking for a passionate videographer that truly cares about capturing your big day Uzland Productions is the ONLY way to go.

Odil is awesome. His work, quality and professionalism is an asset. My wife and I were extremely happy that we chose him to do our video services for our wedding. He is very eas...
y to work with and he worked with us even after we changed our engagement date on short notice. He's very reliable and trustworthy. You can tell that he inspires to ensure that all his clients are happy. He kept us updated on everything that was going on and the final product was of very high quality.
I'm a very detailed person but I would vouch for him any day of the week. Keep up the great work!!!

ted him for his services, he assured us that he would meet our goals and deliver a product that was above acceptable. That he did! During the ceremony and reception, you didn't notice that he was there which meant our guests were undistracted. Our video turned out exceptionally nice and the dvd covers were perfect! You can't beat the price for his videography services, especially when the product is of quality. I would definitely recommend him to others!

My husband and I were very happy with the videography service we received from Odil of Uzland Productions. Odil was always very responsive with communications and the packages he ...
offered were a very good value. Odil showed up on our wedding day right on time and worked well with our photographers. He had us do some creative shots, not just the standard views and also surprised us with an extra camera at the ceremony to capture a different view! He delivered the initial video cut right on schedule for us to preview and make any edits. For the final cut, he incorporated some of our favorite songs and songs from the wedding along with pictures from the wedding day in the menu portion and on the front and back cover of the DVD case. We loved the footage he shot of our venue the day of the wedding and also the mini interviews he did with our guests. We highly recommend Odil of Uzland Productions for his professionalism, promptness, and value!

Odil was amazing I just got married Nov 2011. I found him on the knot (well my maid of honor did). My husband and I picked him because of his reviews. At first we thought his price...
was a bit high but while doing research we saw it was reasonable. Besides it was worth every penny. The video was beautiful we picked our own songs so it was even more special. My family and friends LOVED our video and I cannot thank him enough. If memories are important to you pick Odil he is amazing!!!

From the first time that I spoke to Odil of Uzland Productions I immediately felt his energy, enthusiasm, creativity and professionalism…this connection gave my wife and I the comf...
ort level and confidence that we would receive top notch service and an awesome Love Story and Wedding Video.
Leading up to our wedding, Odil introduced us to the idea of also filming a Love Story Video which we could play at our wedding reception. This was a fabulous idea, we had 2 large flat screen TV monitors and the video was first announced and played at our cocktail hour and then again throughout the evening. This was a huge hit with our guests, they loved it, my wife and I were both Video and Wedding stars. Our wedding was this past October and our friends and family still talk about how great this video was and what a great touch it was to add to our reception.
As a result of his expertise and experience, Odil also provided us with excellent direction and execution for obtaining the HD quality demands that we requested
for our video.
The final product… The Wedding Video was nothing short of what we expected… Excellent…Magnificent… Superb... with little direction, Odil did a magnificent job capturing all of the key elements and was very creative in also capturing and incorporating many other aspects of our event. The quality was great… simply said, it was very well done!
It was a real pleasure having Odil of Uzland Productions on our Wedding TEAM handling all the video/photography services for our wedding. His expertise and professionalism gave us the confidence and comfort to direct our attention to other needed areas of our event and not be worried or be concerned about this aspect.
I highly recommend Odil/Uzland Productions to handle the Video/Photography services for your next event… Odil’s expertise, creativity and professionalism will astound you!

My husband and I got married a few months ago and it was an absolute pleasure working with Odil from UzLand Productions! At first, we wanted to make a Love Story video, but didn't ...
know where to start - we had a few ideas, but not a solid one. We found UzLand Productions website and after meeting Odil and seeing some of his previous work, decided to give it a try. After watching our own Love Story video we were blown away by its quality and uniqueness. Now, my husband calls me his celebrity, because I am a star of a music video!
From that moment on, we knew that we were in good hands.
If your wedding day is approaching, you know how long and worrisome your "To do" list is - let me tell you, if you decide to go with UzLand Productions, having a great videographer can be easily checked off that list! We did't have to worry about anything - Odil is a professional who definitely has a passion for what he is doing, he listened to what we wanted and gave us ideas and suggestions we didn't even think of. The final product was amazing, beautiful and so us! He took his time to learn about us and it reflected in the video overall! Personally, what made me feel very comfortable about working with Odil was his personality - he is calm, observant and likes to experiment with his work. As of today, we have absolutely no hesitation that we made the right decision. I know that being on top of a wedding budget can be "a bit" challenging, but to have a professional videographer is so worth it ! Having it done by UzLand Productions - is a piece of cake! The price was great - the quality even better! We truly enjoyed working with Odil!
Good luck to all the brides out there!

I'm so happy that Uzland Production was there to capture all of the special moments, and I know we will treasure our Uzland Production wedding video forever. I have to mention that Odil arrived on time and was not intrusive at all.
I enthusiastically recommend Uzland Production to any couples trying to get their memorable day recorded

My husband and I were recently married and we decided to use Odil with Uzland Productions for our wedding video. We used a Videographer for our Engagement party that did a subpar ...
job and we knew we had our work cut out for us to find a great Videographer at a reasonable rate. After many inquiries to other vendors, we found UzLand Productions online and decided to contact him and from the moment we met with him, we felt very comfortable with having him as our Videographer for our special day. He showed us great videos he had recently completed and was very interested in the details for our wedding, the venue, the traditions and what he could expect. He had not seen the venue we were getting married at but made it a point to go there and become familiar with the venue. I cannot say enough wonderful things about his professionalism and passion for the work that he does. We looked at many vendors and his prices could not be beat with the things that he offers in his packages. Again, we wanted the best for our wedding but on a tight budget and he more than delivered. If you are set on having the best of the best, awesome videos with state of the art equipment, great service, great prices and guaranteed beautiful videos in the time that it was promised then we certainly recommend calling UzLand Productions. Odil made our day special because we did not have to worry about the final product and it came out just as beautiful as he promised with great reviews from those that have viewed our videos as well!

Everybody have been impressed by my wedding DVD. Beautiful music, very romantic special effects, guests interview. Important that operator be able to catch and then accent on DVD ...
the most important moments in the event. Looks like a movie. Our parents and relatives still watching it when they get a chance. DVD has been made in very convenient format, so you could watch a whole video as well as you could choose a part of it you'd like to see.
For the price we paid, we have such professional work- it's a best bargain!
Thanks again to Uzland Productions for creating a wonderful memory!
