Hunter Floyd Films

he is so much more than just a videographer. He is a creative genius and captures the best moments, all while blending in as a wedding guest (but the most fun guest there). He deserves a million stars. Hats off to Hunter!

te memories of our wedding week were our shoots with Hunter. Hunter brings the best energy to his sessions - he is so laid back and funny you feel like you're just hanging out with friends. His work speaks for itself and he is a great person to be around - I cannot recommend him enough. Best of the best.

nd they were! Jesse and Emmanuel gave great direction and made the whole process fun! The wedding videos they produce are cinematic, unique to the couple, personal, romantic, and moody. We will definitely be recommending Hunter and his team to our family and friends! Thank you all. 🖤

throughout the day, and each of those involved Hunter behind the scenes documenting the precious instances in time. He felt like an extension of our family and wedding party as he truly lived in every second right along with us. Every time someone new would enter in a shot or get the chance to meet Hunter, the first words out of their mouths would be "where did you find him and how can we become his best friend?". He is so much more than a videographer in our eyes. He's a friend, a peace keeper, a story teller, an artist, a party starter, a sense of calm--the list truly goes on and on. He took the time to get to know us and what we're all about which made the entire experience so personal and comfortable. His films are so customized to portray each love story perfectly, and we are so excited to be able to replay our day over and over for the rest of our lives. We are so lucky to have met Hunter, and are eternally grateful for the ability to relive our day with his films forever.

to be alright.. you’ll get through them and have the best day ever. He brought me water, a mimosa and sushi as I got ready and jammed to music with me and my girls in our bridal suite to calm my nerves: as the day went on he danced with all of our guests and knew everyone by their name. Our guests thought we had known Hunter for years because of how well he meshed in with our people. Hunter lives in the present. He doesn’t just capture a moment but he LIVES it. He embraces your wedding and he feels every single bit of every moment that you, your husband and your guests are feeling. Hunter GENUINELY loves people and it shows. I feel like I don’t have all the right words to describe how much this guy means to me, my new husband and all of our family and friends. He will forever be part of our crew. Wedding mornings are cray cray and I’ve never felt so mellow. Hunter kept calm and helped me to do the same. As a bride; you need that. There is no one in this whole wide world we would’ve rather capture our day. Since he lived in the moment, we, Also get to do the same with his incredible artwork for the rest if our lives. This guy is pure talent. He is going to be BIG- seriously. So id get him to your big day as fast as you can! Also I’m pretty sure I’ve watched our video a million times over since we be received it!! Friends and family that were not able to make it to our wedding have RAVED about our guy, Hunter, and it’s well deserved. His work is unique, captivating, and make you feel like your wedding just made its way into a Hollywood quality cinematic film. It’s not a feeling, it’s a fact, that this dude is second to none in this amazing craft.

ity to work with Hunter before he moved down to Austin. A fellow wedding planner mentioned I should reach out and I figured, mine as well give it a try to see if we were a good fit. We weren’t even sure if we wanted to hire a videographer because our entire elopement weekend was pretty last minute (we moved our wedding to Fall 2022 and eloped in Texas in May 2021 instead). I knew our day was much more relaxed than a typical wedding so was a videographer necessary? Mark my words, less than a week after we said “I Do” I think Hunter is one of my favorite sporadic decisions of our elopement. He has delivered some of the most incredible, tear jerking (actually!!!) mini clips from our elopement that I feel like I’m reliving the day by watching. Video is a much different medium than photography. I know everyone says they need to hire a photographer but no one realizes the importance of hearing emotion and seeing movement which is why I say as not only a bride but a wedding planner, you need to hire a videographer. And more specifically – Hunter. One thing I told Hunter as I “interviewed” him was that I was nervous our videographer would have a huge presence and be in the way, make guests feel uncomfortable, and just not fit in. Well Hunter was wildly respectful of that and I could tell just by his disposition in our conversation he was in fact super “chill” and would be a fly on the wall. Come wedding day, Hunter was just that. I wasn’t sure where he was [in a good way] and when we were relaxing by the pool, he hung out with my friends and family and brought lovely conversation and happiness to our group. Our small group really loved having him with us to celebrate. While I have not seen the full videos of our day, I can already tell with Hunter’s editing techniques and an eye for those “candid” moments, it’s going to be amazing. As a wedding planner of 7 years and a now-married woman, I wholeheartedly loved my experience with Hunter and will sing his praises for time to come.

h we had a reason for work with him again! We loved having him with us throughout the day. He's kind, funny, and super creative. Our photographers loved him, too. <3 He stayed later than he had to and I had multiple bridesmaids tell me they plan to use him for their big day after spending some time with him! Thank you, Hunter!

to see more!! His work speaks for itself, but what you don't see in his films is his vivacious personality and his flexibility. He really listened to what we wanted in order to assure he captured our vision and from the looks of our teaser video, he did just that! I can feel our love through the video. We are so thankful we had Hunter by our side on our special day!!

on our highlight video and we couldn’t be happier with the quality of final product. I highly recommend Hunter as your wedding videographer!!

a same-day quick video montage at the reception, which made the entire head table scream with excitement. It was absolutely amazing to see what he pulled together in such a short amount of time from only one camera. He then left out his computer with the clip he put together on it so our guests could see what he had created. Judging from the quality of the short clip he showed us, I know our wedding video will be absolutely amazing. I cannot say enough good things about Hunter and would recommend Bearmane films to anyone in the area!

working with the company. We met with Hunter in person after reviewing his work online. We really liked his personality. We decided to get a contract (which stated Hunter would be our primary videographer) and have it reviewed by our wedding coordinator, as well as send it to our Venue coordinator to ensure Hunter had the appropriate required insurance, etc. We were in discussions with Hunter to sign the contract, no changes were left to be made at this time. This was the end of January 2018 through the first week of February 2018. While we were awaiting these responses from the Venue (Hunter was CC’d on all Venue communication emails), he told us his company was growing and he was no longer available to shoot our wedding. This was a change in a matter of one week. So the last week of January his company was not growing and then all of a sudden the first week of February Hunter no longer had the capacity to film for our wedding. No other vendor would tell clients that they aren’t available anymore, especially during a contract review. All other wedding related vendors would notify clients that another party is interested, giving the right of first refusal to the first potential clients. When approached about this, Hunter became very defensive and even sent a defensive email (which I still have) about trust. It was interesting he brought up trust, when he was the only person that created any distrust. I would highly recommend working with someone more professional. For a company trying to gain market share in a saturated Chicago market it doesn’t seem like the best idea to do what he did. Again, his product is good for the price, and initially he seemed like a good person to work with, but when you expect to pay thousands of dollars to someone to deliver purely based on professionalism and trust, there’s plenty of other choices in Chicago.

ition between the more sentimental moments and high energy fun. Hunter is truly talented and you will not be disappointed. We would work with him again in a heartbeat!

l more like a family friend than anything else. He is so personable, genuine, fun, and made us feel comfortable the entire time. Not to mention, the final product! We LOVE our highlight film (as do all of our friends and family) and feel so blessed to have our wedding footage to look back on in the years to come. If you're wondering if you should spend the money and invest in a videographer, DO IT! And better yet, go with BearMane Films. It was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and I would recommend Hunter to anyone that asks!

2018 has in store for us, and would HIGHLY recommend BearMane Films to all my clients.

ear!

From the professionalism they showed on the day of the wedding, to the personalized USB stick they had created for us, we could not have asked for better service. I would 100% recommend them to all my family and friends.
