Ian's Creations

Like many others, my (now) husband and I were not entirely sure whether booking a videographer for our wedding was a "must-have" or more of a luxury. We selected the highlight reel and full length wedding film package and can honestly say that, out of an all-star vendor team we were able to book (and then rebook when we had to postpone due to COVID), booking Ian's Creations was one of the best wedding planning decisions we made. Ian was so thorough, organized and responsive that communicating with him throughout our postponement and then finally leading up to the wedding was reassuring and stress-free. When we finally got to meet Ian (and his second shooter, Mat) on our wedding day, it felt as if we were all old friends--it was so much fun to work with the two of them (and a total thrill to get driven around in the Spidey-mobile for our first look) that we often forgot we were "on camera." Our family and bridal party were put at ease while filming and thoroughly enjoyed getting to work with Ian and Mat as well. Of course, nothing tops when we first received our highlight video from Ian--I can't count how many times I've watched it at this point but it has garnered many happy tears from me, my husband, and all our family and friends. It was particularly meaningful to have these memories captured on film and to be able to share a full-length video of our wedding given that there were many loved ones who were unable to attend due to current circumstances. All of this is to say that, if you are unsure as to whether a videographer fits into your wedding budget/vision, please talk to Ian and check out his work--he is absolutely worth every penny.

He could not have been more fun to work with! He captured our day so well while not making us take time out of our day to focus on being filmed. We are so happy with the finished product and could not recommend him more!

Could not have asked for a better videographer! Ian was so fun to work with and produced the BEST video ever - we can't stop watching it! Ian is also incredibly honest and fair - never trying to upsell us on something we didn't need (which we found to be pretty rare in the wedding industry). 10/10 would recommend!

Ian and his team were absolutely phenomenal! Ian's Creations went above and beyond to capture all of the moments of our very special wedding day. Ian was communicative, flexible, and a pleasure to work with! We couldn't have picked a better videographer!!

I could not be happier with the experience I've had working with Ian and his team. From my initial booking with him in the summer of 2019 to postponing our date to 2021, Ian was so easy to communicate with and always friendly! On the day of the wedding we had never officially met other than a phone call or two and we felt comfortable with him right away! Ian has a very calming, kind presence and is a joy to have around on your big day! When he sent our video, I cried watching it every time. I think I've watched it at least 100 times and it never gets old. He did everything I asked for and more! I could not recommend him and his company more for your wedding film! Thank you Ian!!!

We loved working with Ian! He was a delight to work with - quick to respond to any questions, extremely kind, and very professional. He perfectly captured how dreamy our day was and I am so grateful for all the moments that he caught on film that my husband I would have never known about. Seeing shots of our loved ones laughing and dancing brings me so much joy. We love our video and I am so happy that we can relive our day over and over again. I highly recommend Ian for all of your videography needs!

Ian and his team are hands down the best videographers in the DC/Charlottesville (in our case, South Boston) area. I hired Ian after seeing what an amazing job he did on my sisters wedding a few years back. He is so professional, kind, and quick to respond to any questions. We had our video back in 5 weeks which was amazing. Our family and friends absolutely love our wedding film. It is definitely something we will cherish forever! I can not recommend him enough. Thank you Ian!!

Amazing job! Highly recommend!

From the beginning, Ian was a delight to work with. He was quick to respond to any questions, extremely kind, and very professional. The plans for our wedding day changed quite a bit due to COVID, but Ian rolled with all of the date changes/downsizing/rearranging that came with getting married in a pandemic without ever batting an eye. When we got our highlight film back I sobbed happy tears the entire way through it – he captured our day more perfectly than I could have imagined. And when we got our full wedding film back a few weeks later, I was in complete shock. We had given up hope of being able to hear anything from our outdoor wedding ceremony, because the winds reached up to 40mph and even people sitting in the front row in-person could hardly hear a thing. But Ian must possess some sort of magic powers, because you can hear every. single. word spoken by me, my husband, our officiant, and our readers. I am so, so happy with all of Ian’s work, and know we will treasure our videos forever. I can’t wait to make a yearly tradition out of watching our videos and reliving all of the joy and love our wedding day held. I would highly recommend Ian for all of your videography needs!

Ian and his assistant did a great job videotaping my daughter's wedding day. We couldn't livestream the ceremony for our virtual guests because the internet wasn't strong enough at the wedding venue, but Ian was able to somehow upload his video via a link to my daughter's wedding website. It worked out great! They were extremely professional and I can honestly say I rarely saw them doing their job!

I can't recommend working with Ian highly enough. My wife and I had certain ideas in mind for our video, and Ian made it happen. To make matters more challenging, it rained torrentially on the day, and Ian was one of the key voices who encouraged us to do the ceremony outside, just as we'd planned. He got soaked, but he was never anything less than delightful. Ian is kind, adaptable, and professional, and we would recommend him to anyone. Thank you, Ian!

Ian was incredible from our first interest email all the way to receiving our wedding films! He communicated very clearly and concisely as to not overwhelm us in the wedding planning process. He was flexible and helpful as we adjusted our wedding plans due to COVID. On our wedding day, Ian provided a calm presence. We felt totally at ease as Ian captured the special moments of our day. Ian went above and beyond- helping set up a last minute live stream and tagging along for a spontaneous post-exit special photo-op. The final products are AMAZING! We are reliving the joy of our wedding day over and over again. We could not recommend Ian's Creations enough to couples looking for a videographer. We will treasure our films forever!

Ian from Ian’s Creations is an incredible talent, and I promise you want him and his team as part of your wedding day. We were beyond pleased with the final video as well as the highlight reel. Due to getting married in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, many of our loved ones were not able to celebrate with us, and we are so grateful to have a wedding film that is the quality of a feature full-length movie to share with everyone who was not able to be there. Ian and his partner made us feel incredibly comfortable on the day of the wedding and captured beautiful shots. He created such a beautiful narrative for both the highlight reel and wedding video that we cannot watch either without crying (happy tears of course!). Everyone we have spoken to who has seen the video has been beyond impressed and we are so excited he was able to capture the magic of our small, intimate wedding. Ian is well-respected in the industry and all of our vendors were excited to work with him and his team again. He is a seasoned professional. Beyond that, Ian is also kind, warm, technically skillful. All in all, he is simply the kind of person you feel good having at your wedding and on your team. The turnaround time on our deliverables was so quick, I could not even believe how fast we got back our final products. It was very impressive, and such a treat to watch our videos on our one month anniversary. We are so grateful for Ian capturing our wedding and would recommend him to anyone for special moments in your life. You will be so happy with your decision to hire Ian’s Creations.

We are so thankful to Ian for being there on our wedding day. Not only was he professional, he made us and our bridal party (not used to being on camera) feel very comfortable. So many times we forgot about the cameras’ presence and just enjoyed the moment, then got to see all of those moments played back. It’s incredible how Ian was able to capture the true feeling of our day, and edit the footage together in the perfect way that tells our story. It’s wonderful to be able to look back and remember little moments and to see moments we missed since so much was going on that day. Ian was very responsive, helpful, and understanding throughout the entire process and was very accommodating with any requests or questions we had. He was such a pleasure to work with and multiple people told us “your videographer is so nice” throughout our wedding night. Everyone was impressed! And of course, the final product is extremely high quality and the editing very well done. So thankful we chose to have video coverage, and even more thankful that we were able to work with Ian and Mat!

Ian captured our wedding perfectly and we were over the moon with the quality of his work! We got nothing but positive reviews from our guests about how well he captured our wedding!

Hiring Ian was one of the first and easiest decisions we made while planning the wedding, and he STILL managed to exceed expectations. Ian and his team are incredibly easy to work with, extremely professional, very friendly, and will immediately put you at ease. I've watched both the highlight and full ceremony films repeatedly since he sent them over and I still cry each and every time. Thank you for perfectly capturing our day!

Ian and his team were completely amazing! Choosing Ian's Creations as our videographer was one of the best decisions we made. The video is perfect and so special. This is a must have for your wedding day.

We had the best experience with Ian! He was so easy to work with and brought such a positive presence to the day! His work for our rehearsal dinner and wedding were more than we could have hoped for! Would highly recommend to anyone!!

My husband and I are able to happily reflect on our day and be thrilled with vendor decisions all around. However, Ian's Creations was one that was SUPER special to us. To be honest, we wavered a little bit with whether or not to even have a videographer, but almost two months after our wedding now, I can confidently say it was one of the best, if not the best, decision that we made. Ian was easy to work with, flexible, responsive, encouraging, and supportive. On our wedding day, he was respectful, fun, nice, and sometimes we didn't even notice that he was capturing magic moments. The sound/audio on our wedding is absolutely perfect. I can't stress enough that choosing Ian to capture your day will be the best decision you make. He not only creates videos, but creates magic moments and memories that you will have forever. The day flies by so to have such a talented team there from Ian's Creations helped us to be able to never forget our big day.

We opted for the 2 videographer package with an extra hour of coverage and it was worth every penny. We got excellent shots of important moments from 2 angles and it made both our highlight video and also our 20 min cinematic video very fun and interesting to watch. No matter what package you choose, Ian was quick to respond, excellent to work with, fun and engaging, and produced an excellent product that only a professional could do. Would highly recommend, especially because his price is so good for the product he provides. Most videographers of his expertise are charging $6000 on this site.

Ian and his assistant did an amazing job with our wedding videography! From the beginning it was easy and I really never noticed he was there (in the best way possible). He even sent me a short snippet of the video so I could use it in one of my own I had been doing leading up the wedding. He captured so many beautiful moments and ones I didn't even realized happened and was just lovely to see. I couldn't have imagined our wedding without his service. He truly does an excellent job!

Ian and his assistant Mat did an absolutely fantastic job with our wedding videography! Ian was excellent to work with from start to finish. He was easy to get in touch with and quick to answer questions, and he was a great addition to our vendor team on the wedding day. Ian and Mat were prompt, professional, friendly, and so helpful, and they captured every special moment of our day beautifully while managing to be completely unobtrusive (I often forgot they were there, and I mean this in the best way possible!). Our highlight film is absolutely stunning! Ian and Mat included all of the special moments and paired them perfectly with music and audio from our ceremony and toasts. We have already watched it over and over again, and our families love it! We can't wait to watch the full length video from the wedding and will be so glad to have that for years to come. I would highly recommend a wedding video, as it was so nice to go back and remember moments we had already forgotten since the day was such a blur. I wouldn't recommend just any videographer though--I would definitely choose Ian! He has a great eye for unique shots and does an excellent job of capturing every beautiful moment. He was great to be around on the wedding day and super helpful with one of our requests for editing after the fact as well.

Ian's Creations more than exceeded our expectations. If you are debating getting a wedding videographer, look no further than Ian's Creations. Ian and his team were a joy to work with and we are extremely pleased with the product we received!! Thank you, Ian, for capturing our day so well so we can relive the moment for years to come! Ian's Creations couldn't come any more highly recommended.

We cannot speak highly enough about Ian's Creations. First, the final product was phenomenal. We opted for the "documentary" style film, and couldn't have been happier with how it turned out. The shots are beautiful. When we got our highlight video, we watched it once a day for two weeks and cried every time. Second, Ian is an incredible person to work with. We had a horrible rainstorm right before our reception, but Ian just rolled along with us, making us laugh and keeping everyone in good spirits. We highly recommend him for any wedding. Thank you to Ian and his team for capturing our big day.

IAN WAS ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! Ian and his team captured everything beautifully on my big day. Leading up to the wedding, Ian was responsive and answered any questions that I had. The week of the wedding, we had to change our timeline and Ian was more than flexible and accommodating. The two videos that Ian and team were able to create for me will last a lifetime and remind me of all the joy of my wedding day. Seriously, hire him!

We are so grateful for Ian and his services! Professional, positive and a pleasure to work with. His eye for detail captured so many moments from that day that can't be captured in a photograph. His creativity and dedication produced a film that we will treasure and continue to watch forever. We couldn't have imagined working with anyone else! If you choose Ian, you are in great hands!

Ian was an absolute pleasure to work with! Ian responded professionally and quickly to all emails or questions I had. He truly made my wedding day so special and his work was beyond what I ever couple have asked for. He was very professional on my wedding day making wedding guests and the entire wedding party feel so comfortable. His work is absolutely amazing. It is 100% worth it to hire Ian and to relive your wedding day again through his film! I could not say enough about him and his work.

Thanks to Ian, we have an amazingly unique wedding video that perfectly captures the love and vibe of our wedding day from start to finish. The entire experience and especially the final product blew our expectations out of the water. I highly recommend Ian to any bride that wants to make sure her day gets captured in the most authentic way possible.

If you want to be blown away hire Ian!! Working with Ian was easy from beginning to end. He was very responsive when I first reached out to him to inquire about his services, and took the time to speak with me on the phone to answer any and all questions that I had. He was so kind and helpful and the highlight video we received was such a beautiful representation of our day. He is so passionate about his work and it shows. Everyone reach out to Ian!!

We couldn't have been happier with our choice to book Ian for our wedding over Labor Day Weekend at The Inn at Willow Grove. I produce videos in my 9-5, so I was very nervous (and picky!!) about choosing a wedding videographer. I met Ian at a friend's wedding and thought he so beautifully captured her day, I decided to book him for mine as well. He is SO GREAT to work with in-person (he clearly loves his job!), and was super responsive pre- and post- wedding. He's worth every penny (and honestly, you get far more bang for your buck with him than some others I considered). Having photographers and videographers whose company you enjoy is very important for your wedding because you spend more time with them on your big day than you realize, and I would no doubt pick Ian again. He's talented, hardworking, and so easy to work with. We've watched our videos on repeat so many times and will hold onto them forever. Thank you Ian!

I can't say enough positive things about Ian and his team. Ian was willing to work with me from the very start to ensure he could provide me with everything that I needed, within my budget and within his means. Ian and Matt were so easy to work with...they went with the flow of the wedding, stayed out of the way yet also butted in when they needed to, and they were both such nice people that we thoroughly enjoyed meeting. We felt blessed to have them on our team of vendors. After the wedding, he sent us our highlight video well on time, and needless to say we were COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY by it. I'm not kidding...we've probably watched it > 20 times in a week, and each time it just gets better. Ian is a professional and a master at what he does. Both the highlight film and the full length wedding film are beautifully and creatively crafted, with seamless transitions, appropriate music, and great quality video and audio. If you are on the fence about booking a videographer, TAKE THE LEAP. My husband didn't think a videographer was necessary, but once he saw Ian's film, he was SO thankful that I booked Ian. He caught moments that were impossible for my photographer to catch - priceless moments that we will now get to watch over and over. We really can't thank Ian enough.

My husband and I cannot say enough great things about our experience and our wedding video by Ian’s Creations!! From start to finish, the process of working with Ian was absolutely wonderful! When first booking, Ian and I facetimed and he diligently and happily answered every one of my long list of questions. He was patient and excited to hear about every detail. I knew immediately that we would work well together and booked him right on the spot. In the time leading up to the wedding, Ian was always very responsive and very polite, and a couple weeks before the wedding, we talked for almost two hours, going over every detail. He made me feel so secure in my choice of videographer and I knew he would capture everything I was hoping for. On the big day, Ian and his associate videographer arrived right on time and worked phenomenally with my photographer. They were totally in sync and made the entire documenting process smooth and perfect. Ian was an absolute joy to be with that day, he seemed genuinely excited to be with us and we thoroughly enjoyed having him there! During the ceremony and the evening, I never knew exactly where he was, but he obviously was everywhere, because the results we received showed a thorough attention to every detail. We decided to contract for a 2 minute trailer and a 20 minute cinematic video, and oh my goodness we were so impressed! The trailer was a perfect encapsulation of the biggest moments of the day and was a wonderful way to show friends and family the best highlights. And the 20 minute video was more than we could have ever hoped for! The editing moved you from one event to the next flawlessly, capturing all the beauty and intense feelings of the day! And his song choices for each segment really allowed you to feel the elegance at the appropriate areas and then the carefree party atmosphere later on. He was even able to work in our processional and recessional songs, which were particularly special to us. Ian is so incredibly talented and just a wonderful person in general to have as part of your wedding day experience. I am so thankful I had him as my videographer! If you are hoping for an incredibly personalized and gorgeous video in order to look back and remember the most beautiful and important day of your life, We highly recommend you choose Ian’s Creations!

I am so thankful I had Ian as my videographer for my wedding!! He was so professional and kind throughout the whole day. He made sure to capture all of the special moments in such a subtle way. I cannot recommend him and his team enough!

Ian was so wonderful to work with! We are so thankful that our wedding planner recommended him to us. Not only were we so incredibly pleased with our wedding film (it's amazing!), but we also loved having him there with us throughout our wedding weekend to capture such a special time in our lives. I was pretty nervous about being in front of the camera, but Ian has a calming presence and immediately put me and our family/wedding party at easy. He was so subtle and just blended right in. Thank you for everything Ian! We are happy to give our highest recommendation for Ian's Creations!

We really wanted to capture the best moments of our wedding on video and we believe Ian did that. I had seen Ian's videos online and loved the artistry and how he told a romantic story in each video. We were so thrilled we were able to work with Ian. He took the time to get to know us through phone calls, emails, and meeting in person. We let him know what specific things we wanted to capture and then we left the rest up to his artistic discretion, which was a great idea because he created amazing shots and got the key moments. Ian is also incredibly wonderful to work with. He is really nice, patient, friendly, and professional. He also sent us a keepsake thumbdrive with the short and long videos. Our wedding was chaotic and went by so fast so it is really special to us that we can now go back and see and experience our favorite moments whenever we want.

My story with how I started working with Ian is really a very unique one. I first met Ian at my cousins wedding even before I was engaged. When Ian put on facebook the highlight film from my cousins wedding I was blown away, I could not stop crying at how beautiful it was. A few weeks later I got engaged :) When all the engagement excitement settled down and it was time to start booking vendors I knew the first person I had to call was Ian. Ian and I talked that first day on the phone and he answered all of my questions and was so kind and easy to speak to. He asked me what date I had picked for my wedding and I laughed and said "no date was picked but I know for 100% I want to work with you so how about you tell me days you have open November 2017". And just like that I found out my wedding was on November 11, 2017. I was never so sure of anything in my wedding planning process as I was about booking Ian. Needless to say the wedding has come and gone and I just received my film from Ian. Right now I am struggling with the words to describe his work of art. He captures EVERY moment and more. And it is done so elegantly. Ian is true talent. The thing I am most blown away with is how Ian can take you on the journey of the wedding so beautifully and make you relive the day over and over. In terms of working with him and his business partner Mat --- they might be the easiest, most low key, fun people I have ever met. They have this way to make you feel totally at ease and you even forget that they are there. Ian has given my husband and I the greatest wedding gift possible.... A way to go back in time the our greatest day ever. Ian’s work of art is something we will treasure forever. Everyone should be so lucky to have Ian on your wedding day! It was the best and easiest choice I ever made!!!!

Ian and his assistant Matt were nothing short of amazing!! They arrived early and even stayed late due to malfunctions with our "wedding exit." Ian was so accommodating working with our budget and finding the wedding package that worked best for us. We just received our wedding highlight video and have not stopped watching it--easily over 100 times! He was able to showcase our wedding in the most beautiful way and I am thankful that we will have such an amazing video for life because of him. I am eternally grateful that we chose Ian's Creations to video our wedding and recommend he and his team to anyone! Thank you, Ian!!

Hiring Ian was one of the best wedding decisions I could have made. I have received both my highlight video and my full length (on a really cool wooden usb inside a cute wood box) and I am so impressed with both. My highlight video gets the most use, as every single one of my clients watches it and some even cry! He really listened and it turned out better than we could have imagined. Ian was extremely easy to talk to and got back to every single email almost immediately. If you are planning a wedding, you know how rare that is. He made me feel so comfortable with the video and the whole process, that I could relax and focus my attention on other wedding projects. I would recommend him to every person, bride or even business. Thank you so much Ian!!

Absolutely wonderful! Not only was Ian incredibly responsive, easy to work with and professional, but he made the entire video process so fun. I was very thankful for his kindness throughout the day; he made the experience so fun and relaxing. The video was also beyond beautiful. He captured the event so perfectly and no only was I in love with it, but I have continued to get compliments from family and friends. I could not give him higher praises!

My husband and I couldn't be happier with the work Ian's Creations did on our elopement film. Since it was such a small ceremony, we wanted a video that captured the atmosphere and intimacy of the day so we could share it with friends and family who weren't in attendance. Ian and Mat did just that. They worked with us to figure out the best shots for certain activities (i.e., where we would have our "first look," etc.), were very enthusiastic and tried out lots of cool shots (without interfering with the actual events of the day), and provided comic relief all along the way! Our video itself was ready in about six weeks, and is absolutely beautiful. It is truly something my husband and I will treasure for the rest of our lives. I highly, highly recommend Ian's Creations for your wedding videography needs!

Choosing Ian to create our wedding video was the best decision we could have made. Not only was he easy to work with, accommodating, and endlessly kind, but he is remarkably talented at what he does. Our wedding day was a beautiful blur and everything we weren't able to remember, Ian caught on camera. We were absolutely thrilled with our wedding video. Each time we watch it we are able to relive all of the details of our day. He captured my husband and I so perfectly, as well as our family and friends. In doing so, he gave us the best possible gift--truly priceless. If you're considering Ian for your wedding, there is no need to look any further. He is the best and I envy anyone who has the chance to work with him.

From start to finish, Ian was an absolute dream to work with. In the beginning of the process, he worked with me, tirelessly answering my many questions and emails. He was prompt, professional and efficient. When we met him at the wedding, we instantly felt comfortable with him! He was kind and very friendly, and it made having a camera around easy to adjust to (considering I won't lie, if you aren't someone who gets filmed often, it is a little bit of a daunting feeling at first), but he fit right in with our group almost as if I had known him for years. We received the film quickly, and also a mini film that we were able to share with our friends. I truly feel videographers have one of the hardest jobs at weddings, it definitely is a true art. He also selected music for our film- which I have to say I love, I could not have selected better music myself! Ian is a true gem, go into this contract with confidence! I would book him over and over again for our wedding! Thank you so much Ian, we were so blessed to have you as a part of our day!

One of our favorite decisions made during the wedding planning process was deciding to hire a videographer. One of the best decisions we made was hiring Ian to do that for us! We are beyond pleased with the work he did - We absolutely love our wedding video, which allows us to re-live the day over and over! He and Matt were great to work with, making us feel comfortable the entire day. He also worked seamlessly with our photographers to capture the beauty of the day. It was worth every penny investing in our wedding day film that is truly timelessly beautiful. Can't recommend him enough!!

Hiring a videographer was a bit of a stretch for us budget-wise. But, when we saw the videos Ian had shot, we decided to go for it. We’re so glad we did! From the beginning, Ian was so great to work with. He was a great listener - eager to hear about the details of our wedding so that he knew which parts were most important to capture on film. During the day, Ian and his assistant were awesome. We never felt like they were too obtrusive and they were super friendly throughout. The end results - our highlight video and full film - were phenomenal. We must have watched the highlight film 50 times or more. It really captured the feeling of the day. The full film was much more edited (in a good way) than I had anticipated. Segments leading up to the ceremony were stitched together with different shots and songs. Then we got to relive the full ceremony, all of the speeches, and highlights from the reception. If you’re looking for a videographer, I can’t recommend Ian highly enough.

Ian was so great to work with! He made us feel very comfortable and was very fun! I would definitely recommend him to any one!! My video was absolutely breathless and more than i ever dreamed! Services used: Videography
