and I (nor any of our guests) even noticed they were at the reception! I can't wait to see the final product!! We are SO glad we hired a videographer and we know that Hart to Heart will not disappoint!!

H2H came recommended by a friend and was well worth the investment for our wedding day! Highly HIGHLY recommend!
Our two videographers, Kyle and Bennett, were fantastic to work w...
ith - professional, easy going, and worked seamlessly with our photographer and wedding planner. They captured so many meaningful and fun moments throughout our wedding day from getting ready to ceremony to our reception & send off. Thomas sent us our short Insta film in record time and when we got our full wedding video it was such a special way to relive the day. The film editing was the perfect mix of meaningful and fun and I think really captured how we felt throughout the day!

Unlike with the caterer or DJ, with a wedding videographer, you won't know how well you chose until well after the wedding.
I'm happy to report that we chose very, very well.
...
During the wedding, they couldn't have been more kind and professional. They got all the footage and key moments without being intrusive.
And after viewing our videos, our comment to Thomas Hart, Haylie Long, and the team was "We knew you were good, but D***!" Our 20-minute "feature film" was even better than we could have hoped for. Their editing and song selection were flawless. They captured exactly what we were trying for when we planned the wedding. But don't take my word for it...take a look!

bly knowledgeable! On our wedding day, Haylie and Stefanie arrived early to set up and started filming right on time. They are so good at what they do that we hardly realized that they were there! Throughout our wedding day, they both were so organized, sweet and understanding. Due to rain, we had to switch everything around at the last second and they were calm, cool and collected, which made me feel a little less stressed out!! We are SO excited to see the film from our wedding day - we know it is going to be AMAZING!!!

We had a small beach wedding on a Tuesday in September (2012) and were looking for a particular style of video that is surprisingly hard to find in the South. We found Hart to Hear...
t online and worked with them to customize our package and price. Thomas Hart was kind and also up front about his services and what he could offer. We appreciated his honesty.
Haylie and Davis filmed our wedding and were incredible. They were easy to work with and shot everything without us knowing they were there.
Because our wedding day was outside and rain was scheduled, we pushed everything ahead and were ready when the team arrived. This eliminated some of their time and shots, or so we thought. When we saw the trailer for the video, we were blown away. It was like watching a movie trailer and was exactly what we wanted. The trailer was rushed for a deadline so we could show it at a reception in New York and Hart to Heart didn't bat an eye when this was requested. The feature film was received a few months later and we again were surprised and pleased at the amount of footage they got and the way they shot it, not to mention how the video was produced.
Everything was lovely and we absolutely loved it! We are so appreciative of all the time and hard work they poured into making this video for us. It will be a cherished piece that we will watch for many years to come. Thank you so much again for everything. We will definitely make sure to recommend you to anyone we know getting married.

I can't say much about the quality of the video, as we haven't received it yet (our wedding was only 2 weeks ago), but Thomas Hart and his team are awesome! The biggest compliment ...
I can give them is that they were very unobtrusive and blended right into the background. They were right on time to every location, went about their business without disturbing what we were doing, and did not add ANY stress to our day! There were a couple times during the wedding day that they asked us to do something else, just to make sure they got all the shots they needed, but each of these requests took only a minute or two. The preparation before the event was really good - I filled out a detailed questionnaire telling them about our special details, what was most important to us, and what they were and were not allowed to do. It made it so nice that on the day of the wedding, I didn't have to answer questions about any of those things. Like I said, I can't give a review of our finished product yet, but their pre-wedding and day of- presence was awesome!

Not only is Hart to Heart completely professional, they are also amazingly talented! The prices are a bit higher than other videographers, but you definitely get what you pay for! ...
I was willing to splurge more on video and photos and have a stricter budget on other things because at the end of the day, these are what you have left, the things you can show your children and grandchildren. I absolutely love our wedding video! I can't say enough good about this company! I HIGHLY recommend Hart to Heart Media!

We purchased the “Gold Package” which featured a 2 camera HD shoot by the assistant videographers, not Thomas Hart. We knew this from the beginning; however, Thomas assured me his...
team was great and that they are requested frequently. The guys who filmed our wedding were very professional. They arrived on time, and we hardly noticed them at all. It took almost four months to receive our wedding video. Thomas communicated this in advance, and I did not mind because I did not want to compromise the quality of the editing process.
However, after waiting four months, I was very disappointed with the final product. Our wedding date was September 10, 2011. We received a video with the caption September 9, 2011. More than half of the video was grainy and did not look HD at all. Thomas said this was due to the low lighting inside the reception venue. I would expect a professional videographer to plan accordingly; they knew in advance the reception would take place inside. The quality of the picture was poor.
Before they begin editing the film, you have to answer a list of questions regarding the editing process. Some of these questions include what style of film you would like (i.e. romantic, cinematic, fun), and specific moments during the wedding that stood out. I noted that we wanted a cinematic style. In fact prior to securing Hart to Heart Media as our wedding videographer, I sent Thomas an example of what we were looking for, and he confirmed that they could definitely deliver the style of video we wanted. He also sent an example trailer that he had edited which looked similar to what we wanted. The video we received was not cinematic at all. I also noted that the toasts made during the reception as events that stood out, and we wanted to see them in the film. They were not in the short film, and the toast portion of the documentary video was completely inaudible due to all of the background noise. Thomas said that this was due to the fact that our DJ did not send the microphone through the feed to their camera.
When I contacted Thomas regarding these issues, he agreed to work as hard as possible to correct the problems, but noted they would not be able to completely eliminate the graininess. They did correct the date, and added a little bit of cinematic music at the beginning of the film. The audio on the toasts was improved some, but the reception portion of the video is still grainy. I am extremely disappointed. We definitely did not received $2,200 worth of service. The video we received was worth at most $1,200, and I feel our video was not given the same level of effort as some of the other videos that this company has produced.
Update 2/16/12: P.S. I left this same review on Wedding Wire and the vendor followed up with a statement saying that "The bride and groom have a dark complexion, which makes it even more difficult in a dark room without any grain". I find these comments to be rude and offensive. The video was grainy in general. This includes background objects too. Seriously, does one have to have a certain skin color to receive a quality video?

Heart to Hart Media come through big time! I planned a destination wedding in SC and chose Heart to Hart based on the wonderful reviews other brides had written. They were very ...
responsive and they delivered as promised. The 2 videographers arrived on time and most importantly stayed out of everyones way at the wedding! I know that some people report how annoying their videographers were. Ours remained incognito and weren't "annoying" in the least bit. I have not seen the video itself as of yet, but I am confident that they will deliver. Overall, a great vendor!
