e footage and mood we wished for to preserve our special day. He did such a fantastic job with our wedding video and I know us and our families will be watching it over and over for many years to come. Lance is a kind and genuine person who delivers exceptional work and I highly recommend using Harding Videography for your upcoming wedding!
Lance and Joe did an absolutely amazing job filming our wedding! Leading up to the wedding, Lance was super professional and personable, checking in when he needed to and was very ...
responsive to our needs and what we were looking for. Some of my husband's family were not able to attend the wedding, and Lance and Joe agreed to run the live stream for them to watch. The portable internet connection we brought with us would not work, and so Lance took it upon himself to hook up his personal wifi hotspot and streamed the wedding that way, truly saving the day! He didn't treat us like just another client, but treated us as if we were lifelong friends of his. And on the day of the wedding, I think Lance and Joe had just as much fun filming as we did celebrating it. Lance and Joe went above and beyond and we would highly recommend Harding Videography to everyone!
We really loved Harding Videography!!! They were so sweet to work with, and helped make our special day memorable. They did a beautiful job with our highlight video, and captured ...
so many moments of our day on the raw footage video. Highly recommend them!

ommodating, and phenomenal at their Job.
Lance was wonderful to work with. After our consultation over the phone, he bent over backwards to meet our needs and come up with ideas of what we wanted. The day of, he showed u...
p excited to get started. He guided us through the process and we felt very comfortable. He was a fly on the wall. My wife will tell you I'm nervous in front of the camera and it didn't even show on our video!! Before we knew it, our video was ready and we were both blown away. I highly recommend Harding Videography. Money well spent.
Lance is fantastic! So professional & really captured how wonderful our day was. So glad we chose him for our special day. Would highly recommend him!!
Harding Videography was absolutely fantastic to work with and the video was amazing!! Highly recommend!
Lance was extremely punctual, personable, and professional. I'm extremely glad I chose him for our wedding!
I'll preface my review by saying that I've personally worked with Lance for about 5 years at Harding Videography; where in time, he's become one of my closest friends. Working with...
him in the wedding industry has taught me abundantly about: flexibility, patience, artistry, authenticity and overall happiness. This isn't just a vendor showing up to film your wedding- this is Lance Harding! Not only is he filming your day, he is there if you need anything at all! Need a water? Snacks? A friend? Music? (He has the best playlists, trust me on this one) He wants your day to go as smoothly as possible and that truly sets him apart from others. His videos speak for themselves and even I go back and watch some of our old work. He has a way of creating a video that showcases the best parts of a wedding day.
Lance was involved in our elopement/intimate wedding. He was our officiant, however, he went out of his way to grab some footage. To be completely frank, we at HV work hard to be discrete and out of the way so that we're not in anyone's faces...but I didn't realize how true that was until it came to my own wedding day! He was flexible, aware of potential shooting spots and open to ideas, all while being courteous and respectful to the hired photographer.
What else is there to say (other than the fact that he can karaoke like none other)? He's the best and I highly suggest that you hire him!
He was very flexible with how we wanted our pictures done. Every picture turned out amazing!! Very professional. This is who you want!!!
Lance and Kate were amazing to work with!!! They were a great help on knowing where to look, how to look, and places/spots that would look the best for pictures. The staged family ...
pictures looked stunning, but my favorites were the candid, real moments that they captured. The pictures and video took my breath away. I highly recommend Harding Videography!! 😁
Lance is fantastic! We decided to hire a videographer last minute for our wedding, and boy are we glad we did! Lance was so easy to work with and really required nothing of us to d...
o the job - he simply showed up and delivered. The videos turned out amazing and I was impressed at the details he was able to capture even without our explicit direction. Lance is also just a genuinely nice person and I appreciated his gratitude toward us for choosing him as our videographer. Thank you, Lance!!

ime and really required nothing of us to do his job - he simply showed up and DELIVERED! Videos turned out amazing and he captured some really special moments for us even without our explicit direction. What I appreciated most about him was his gratitude toward us for choosing him as our videographer - he was so sweet and just a really nice, genuine person. Thank you, Lance!
Lance was great to work with responding back to questions promptly. Showed up when he said he would, checked to see if there was anything specific we wanted videographed then agai...
n before he leaving. Was very prompt at getting our sneak peak video to us as well as the full video. A year later our dvd wouldn't work so contacted him to see if we could get another one, luckily he backs them up so we can get another one! So glad we got him for our wedding!
We cannot recommend Harding Videography enough! Courtney shot our wedding and she was a pleasure to work with. She was friendly and fun to be around, but during most moments she ma...
naged to make us forget she was there, keeping us calm and not awkward in front of the camera. Lance did an incredible job editing our highlight video. He incorporated our favorite song and even sent us a clip of the ring bearers walking down the aisle when we told him I missed being able to see that. We can’t stop watching the highlight video — it perfectly captures our day and our personalities. All our emails to Harding Videography were quickly responded to and Lance was always very friendly. Overall, Lance and Courtney exceeded our expectations.
Lance was so easy to work with and had fun with us on our special day! He captured all the moments that we wanted and worked so well with our photographer. HIGHLY recommend doing a...
videographer for your wedding and Lance was a great choice!! We are extremely happy with the quality of his work!
Lance was amazing from the day I called him 2 weeks before I wanted him to shoot our wedding. Even though it was short notice, he was willing to be there for our special day. I lov...
ed that he captured all the special moments, but it didn't interrupt our day or distract our guests like I have seen from some videographers. After the wedding, Lance was prompt in getting us back our highlight video and it was better than I ever could have imagined. My husband wasn't super sold on getting a videographer, and neither of us have any regrets. I can't recommend Harding Videography enough. Lance was worth every penny!
Lance was great to work with. He answered every question that I had and on the day of made everything very easy. We are very happy with our video, it turned out wonderfully!
I am so happy that I picked Harding Videography to be a part of my wedding! Lance was quick to respond to any questions I had and was really easy to work with during the planning p...
rocess. Courtney was our videographer on the day of the wedding and she was super fun and fantastic to work with! It can be awkward to have someone following you around all day, taping your every move, but Courtney made us feel very relaxed and got some great video and candid moments because of it. The highlight video and full length video that Lance put together are incredible as well, I couldn’t be happier with them! He continued to be very quick to respond to any questions I had after the wedding and overall has been amazing to work with! Everyone needs to have a videographer to capture those special moments and the only one to go with is Lance!
Lance was so awesome and so down to earth! I loved having him at our wedding!!! I highly recommend him!
Lance was great to work with. I gave him some old, amateur footage from a friend's wedding, and he turned it in to a wonderful video that they will cherish. I was blown away with...
what he created. I definitely recommend him for anyone looking for a great videographer. I couldn't have a better experience, or been given a better video.
Lance did a fantastic job! We knew we wanted a video because we had family that were unable to attend. We were a little skeptical as to whether it would be a value given the kind ...
of wedding we were having. We had about a 10 minute ceremony, no dancing, no bouquet toss, etc. We wondered what would really be recording worthy for more than 6 hours? We ended up changing our mind and going with the 10 hour package and even bought additional hours on the fly the night of. We are so glad we did. We had a separate photographer and they did a great job splitting the moments so nothing got missed. The great thing about the video was it caught some of the sound bites that we either missed or forgot. Also Lance's customer service was great even after the wedding day. We had a disc burn issue and Lance worked tirelessly to make sure that the final product was up to his standards. I would definitely recommend Lance for your wedding.
We used Lance as our videographer when we got married at Lambeau Field on July 4, 2015. He was fantastic. He captured exactly what we wanted! He was open to all of our ideas and al...
so had a lot of his own - many of which we used, as we weren't experts and this is his wheelhouse! :) Everything down to the gorgeous DVD case cover in which we received our amazing wedding video was exactly what we wanted. Lance knows his stuff, that's for sure. If you want a pro, who's also a friendly and fun guy, go w Lance. You will not regret it.
We absolutely love the products Lance and his team created for us. He took all our pictures from engagement to thank you notes. Lance took the time to talk to my daughter and her f...
iance so he could capture their personalities in the pictures and videos. He was able to save some of the most special moments that we will treasure forever.
Lance is such a professional. He was incredibly easy to work with, made the experience memorable and fun, and the end product was absolutely amazing. We almost didn't get a videogr...
apher, but we are SO glad we did. Lance is the only videographer in the DSM area who could make us change our mind!!
Lance did a fantastic job with our wedding video! He captured all the special moments and put it all together so perfectly! It meant so much to us when we watched the highlight vid...
eo and it was our song that was playing! Lance does amazing work and anybody who's looking for a videographer should consider him!
Lance was amazing to work with start to finish! For those on the fence about whether or not to get a videographer for their wedding, get Lance! My husband and I both agree that he ...
was worth every penny. While photos are one way to capture the moments of your wedding, video captures the sounds, expressions, and glances as they happen so you can see them in motion. Wedding days go by so quickly, you will not regret hiring him to capture it.
I looked at many videographers, and Lance had an amazing style that caught my eye and very reasonable prices! He is very easygoing and relaxing to be around (and he gets bonus points for bringing me ice cream before the ceremony :D). He gets all the moments you want and more without being in the way. I asked my guests and most of the time they didn't even notice he was there (in a good way of course, haha)!
Do yourself a favor and just hire him already!!
Harding Videography went above and beyond! Our experience with them was extremely positive. Lance is a great guy who is extremely talented, and he was a joy to be around on the wed...
ding day. Our footage was given to us just weeks after the wedding-WOW! Highly recommended!
Lance Harding was amazing to work with on every step of the wedding planning journey. He was recommended to me by a friend and I am so happy that I selected him as our videographer...
. He is so talented and fun to work with! Not only did he provide an epic highlight video of our wedding day, but he included our clips and a beautiful customized CD/DVD case to keep our photos and video in. He truly went above and beyond. I would highly recommend!!
Harding Videography was amazing! We could not be happier with our overall video, but especially our highlight video! They captured all of the best moments from the day and it was S...
O much fun to share with our family and friends! Lance was so easy to work with and Courtney was so patient and professional shooting our day. From the day I first inquired about their services through the day of the wedding they were fabulous to work with and I cannot say enough good things about the finished product. Doing a video was one of the things I was on the fence about, but now I am so glad we did it and I would recommend it to everyone! What an incredible keepsake from our big day! I would highly recommend Lance and his team.
Lance was so awesome to work with! My husband and I are very laid back people and Lance went right along with our vibe. He's funny and has a great attitude! He was very professiona...
l and knew what he was doing. As a good videographer should be, he was never in the way and was right where he needed to be. As advertised, he provided our highlight video within 4 weeks. I watched it about 20+ times in 24 hours and I am in love with the finished product. I smile reflecting back on our wedding day. He was also always availble to communicate with and he is quick to respond to emails. You can feel his excitement to work with you as a couple when he talks to you. Lance was worth every penny to have a keepsake forever and I would HIGHLY recommend him.
Thank you, Lance!
Lance was fantastic! He was so easy to work with, communicated very well and gave us an amazing product!
He captured all the special moments from our wedding and even though he...
was at his time limit he made sure to get the garter toss and bouquet toss since we hadn't done those yet! :)
Thanks Lance for all your help! We are so glad we were able to capture our wedding on video!! :)
On June 20, 2015 my husband and I had Harding Videography capture our wedding day. They have been great to work with before, during, and after the day. Everything went without a ...
hitch. They showed up on time and were professional, yet fun to be around. Our bridal party enjoyed them too! They captured what we wanted and were timely with getting our quality video footage to us. I strongly recommend Harding Videography for your big day-they are worth it!
Could not have been more happy with Lance and the final product we received! My husband and I initially decided not to have a videographer. I am so very glad we changed our minds...
. From the beginning Lance was so easy and an absolute pleasure to work with. He was very responsive and answered any questions I had. On our wedding day he was professional, creative and so much fun. He did such a wonderful job coordinating shots with the group and location. The highlight video and final full video were wonderful. Lance truly captured and summarized such a special day so wonderfully. Hiring Lance was by far one of the best wedding planning decision we could have made. Highly recommend to anyone!!!
Lance is knowledgeable, professional, and personable. Not only that, but his passion for videography is evident each time you visit with him. He was a great person to be in contact...
with before, during, and after the wedding. Before the wedding, he wanted to speak with us to make sure he was going to capture our vision and to see if we had any special requests. During the wedding, he was always there for the action. He even came on our wild wedding trolley with us! After the wedding, he was prompt with the editing and sending of his product. On top of all the great things about working with Lance, his work was phenomenal! We couldn't have been more happy with the finished product (highlight reel and full length videos) he provided for us. He even went the extra mile and made a silly 30 second clip for us on our request. I am so glad we decided to have a videographer and I'm so glad we chose Lance Harding!
My photographer recommended Harding Videography because he worked with him in the past. Lance and his assistant, Courtney, were beyond professional and I really enjoyed having them...
around the entire day. The video was amazing – I am so glad I received the best quality and service I wanted for such an important day! Lance continued to impress me after I received my video, making sure it was exactly what I wanted, and it was so much more!
Lance does amazing work!! From initially getting a hold of him to the day of our wedding, he was very professional and so easy to work with!
He just shows up and does his thing!!...
He was a huge help to our photographer and very kind and respectful to everyone! Our reception was running a little behind and he was more than happy to stay to get all of our toasts and our first dance. It was so important to us to have those memories! The level of quality is outstanding. It was be something we will treasure forever! Pictures look nice in a frame, but nothing beats being able to watch your wedding day and live in the moment again.
My only regret is I didn't book him earlier in the day!!!
I can't say enough about Harding Videography. Between the personal touches and prompt response, a bride can rest assure that her memories will be forever captured in the most beaut...
iful way. Lance and his assistats where attentive to everything I was looking for and played close attention to all the details. Thier kind and comforting demeanor was a welcomed surprise helping to keep a bride calm before walking down the isle. The final product was received within weeks of the wedding and was stunning. Again I can't say enough. One of the most important things to spend money on for your wedding are the videographer and photographer. With Harding Videography you won't be disappointed and is well worth every penny!
If you're looking for someone that will do an amazing job Lance is your guy! We used him for our wedding/reception and love the video he put together. Lance was very professional ...
but also fun. He let our personalities come through in the video, we couldn't be happier with it. I highly recommend him!
Harding Videography captured our wedding beautifully. Lance was very professional throughout our whole experience: planning, the event, and getting us the final product. He was ve...
ry prompt with any questions or clarifications we had throughout the whole process. We are very pleased with our final product. His attention to detail captured small moments we surely would have forgotten, and he highlighted our big moments wonderfully. Getting a videographer for your wedding is a must, and Harding Videography is the videographer to do it.
I was on the fence with a videographer and am SO GLAD that I decided to get one! The highlight video turned out amazing!
