I must imagine that the toughest customer to please is one with a personality like that of my own: type ‘A’, over-analytical to the point of self-exhaustion, someone who has diffic...
ulty letting go of the reins in any situation…I could go on. And yet, Heirloom Pictures rose to the challenge of said Bride, smiled and said, “Don’t worry, we’ve got this.” And that, they did. Sure, I went on to worry anyway, being who I am; but when the raindrops began falling on a day when emotions are already high, trusting in this team to capture the day just as I had dreamed it to be was all that I could do.
Sure, Marcella and team’s flawless execution can be seen in the overflow of comments on the trailer posted to my Instagram feed and Facebook; or in the tears of a family friend in town visiting watching from an iPad after having to miss our Big Day. But most importantly, her precision is apparent in the feelings her work evokes within my husband and I both every time we hit ‘replay’. This is not just a videographer who simply “showed up to the party” and delivered a wedding video to us. She was so much more; an integral part of our big day, from the utmost professional videographer to a much-needed calming presence. Marcella was there to capture it all; through every rain drop to the rainbow at the very end.
It may be in my nature to second-guess myself and dwell on the things outside of my control but one thing is for certain: Our day – both in the moment and in playback – would not have been the same without Heirloom Pictures.
So thank you, Marcella, for allowing Dustin and I to see our rainy-day wedding, over-and-over again, through your lens for what it was – just perfect.
I cannot say enough about how AMAZING Marcella and her team are. We were extremely lucky to have her film our wedding. Marcella has captured many special moments for our family (in...
cluding my brother's wedding as well). Marcella is the type of person you want to have around during those special moments! When we received the film from Marcella and watched it with my family, there was not a dry eye in the room.
Marcella was amazing to work with! She was so professional and on time. She is a lovely person to work with, she kept in touch with me prior to my wedding to assure me she would ca...
tch all the amazing footage. She even e mailed us hilights of the video before my video was delivered which was so fun to get a sneak peak of it! Our video arrived within the time frame she promised, which was great so I could share them with family before holidays. My husband and I enjoyed every minute of our video, and my mom has watched it 12 times in one week! We are all so thrilled with her work and talent. Book her you will be very thrilled mark my words!
My husband and I researched several videographers in the Boston area for our wedding and Marcella is the BEST in Boston and probably planet Earth. She thoroughly interviewed us to...
get a feel for our expectations and masterfully executed. She is professional, kind, creative and tons of fun to work with. As an added bonus, our final wedding DVD was wrapped up so elegantly and beautifully and presents well as a gift to parents. Everything Heirloom Pictures does is absolutely STUNNING!
Marcella was absolutely wonderful to work with. Her viewpoint was to simply document the wedding and not be a part of it, exactly what we wanted. We barely knew she was there and ...
there were no annoying spotlights on the dance floor or big cameras in our faces. At the same time she got really amazing footage and put it together beautifully. We were so happy to have found her and recommend her 110%!!!
Marcella filmed our small wedding here in Boston and created a perfect video of the day for us to show to family and friends in Michigan. She captured the day and our personalities...
in the video. This is my favorite way of remembering the day, and totally worth the investment. Our parents practically have the video playing on loop. Marcella was also wonderful to work with--she is organized, responsive, and fun. You'll be glad you hired her!
Marcella was wonderful to work with!! She was incredibly professional and easy to get in touch with throughout the whole build up to the wedding.
She also was incredibly flexibl...
e. Our wedding wasn't a precisely choreographed event where we knew exactly what time dinner would be served, be over and then what time dancing would begin... as it turned out, dancing didn't really start til about 9pm and Marcella stayed later than we'd discussed to get some really great footage!
The video itself from Marcella is fantastic. She sent us three copies in really nice cases and the part set to music is wonderful as is the video that takes you through the day.
I would highly recommend Marcella because she does lovely work but also because she's a great person to work with and I enjoyed so much having her be a part of our day!
EVERYTHING. She was perfect in every way.
