Where do we start!
If we could give Jeanette and Daryl 10000000000 stars we would. SO happy to have them be a part of our special day. The entire planning process was so simple and Jeanette was very easy to reach via text or email and always willing to answer any and every question.
They went above and beyond to make sure to capture every momentico of our special day and we are in love with our wedding video. We will cherish these memories forever!!!
We can’t recommend them enough and so happy to have had them capture our wedding day!
Highly recommend and super grateful they could fit in our wedding last minute. We paid extra for the drone footage on Miami Beach and it was definitely worth the extra money. The video took a while to get back, and it needed a round of edits, but they were able to make the edits within a day and the end result was great! My only regret is not paying more for a longer final video... your wedding day is so special, pay for what you really want!!
Jeanette and Daryl captured our special day in the most beautiful way. We are so lucky to have found and hired them. They were very responsive and made sure to capture every little thing. We didn't even notice them getting much of the footage, which was important to us. We didn't want to have someone overly staging us and distracting us from the day's festivities. We asked for 4k video, a trailer and longer video and they were beautiful. They had us give them a hard drive, which they loaded up with the raw footage and sent along shortly after the wedding. We were so happy that we hired them. Great people and talented videographers!
I cannot express enough just how happy we are to have hired Jeanette & Daryl for our wedding videography! From the moment we first connected we knew we would be in good hands, an am so pleased to say our gut was correct. Jeanette is so responsive and on top of pre-planning, I was never once worried about the plan because I knew Jeanette was on top of it. On the wedding day they were so kind and easy to work with - we felt so comfortable with them, and they were total flies on the wall getting the shots they needed without being disruptive to the day. Our main priority was capturing everything we didn't see and they absolutely nailed the end result. We are so thrilled and couldn't recommend them more.
Jeanette & Daryl are not only the most amazing videographers but they are such awesome people. They were both just so sweet and did such a wonderful job. They captured moments that I didn’t even know happened, lol!! They literally were everywhere my husband and I were. The most important thing to me was capturing not only moments with my husband and I but also with my family. They captured smiles, cries, and just all of the emotions. We chose the package that offers a short clip Instagram clip and eight hours of raw footage and just seeing the short clip I knew they captured every single moment. I edited the RAW footage into a one hour video video and their video skills are just off the charts. If you want a team that’s going to be there every single moment without you even noticing but still capturing the most important things, BOOK THEM!! We cannot thank them enough for what they captured for us. Thank you Jeanette and Daryl for being so freaking awesome!!
I recommend them 100,000 times!
My fiance and I did a ton of research looking for the right videographer for our wedding. We chose IP because we really appreciated their artistic style. Working with them pre- and post-wedding was very professional and timely. Their efforts resulted in a beautiful capturing of our special day. Highly recommended! They were a joy to have at our wedding as well.
Jeanette and Daryl are a dream to work with! We hired them based on their past work we had reviewed, their willingness to travel and great communication. They did such an incredible job capturing all the important moments of our wedding day and bringing them to life through our wedding video. I can’t thank them enough for giving us the perfect video to look back on for years and share with our family.
Jeanette and Daryl were awesome! I’m a wedding videographer myself and needed someone to film my wedding. They were like ninja’s the entire day and captured all the important moments. I would highly recommend them for your special day!
They were all I could ask for and more! Punctual and professional, but still caring and thoughtful. They made sure to capture little moments unique to our relationship and make our day shine through the video. You can tell they have a great creative eye as the final video was so detailed and heartwarming
Decided to get a videographer just a month before the wedding. This company came highly recommended to us by another wedding vendor of ours and they did not disappoint. So wonderful to work with & made us feel so comfortable. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a fun, beautiful and wonderfully captured wedding day.
Jeanette and Daryl were amazing. Not only did they make suggestions that helped our budget but they were punctual and seemed to stay beyond their contracted hours. They never stopped moving and filming. The truly captured our wedding and were a joy to work with. I would high
Y recommend them to everyone and anyone!
We are amazed of how Beautiful our wedding video is. How they captured the best details of our wedding. They helped us adding a few more things on the video.And it came out so nice. I would totally recommend illuminate for any event. Also affordable . Thank you again ❤ Jennifer & Otto
Illuminate was great! We really loved working with them - so nice and professional! Can’t wait to see the footage!
Jeanette and Daryl are the dream team! We truly cannot thank them enough for their hard work on our wedding day and for their amazing video editing skills! At first, we were not going to hire a videographer since we had a 20-person wedding, but then realized we wanted to have our ceremony recorded. We reached out to Jeanette and Daryl and they were so welcoming and answered all of our questions and created a package that was perfect for us (we selected the 5-minute video package). Their email response time is incredible and they were always on top of everything. You knew they truly cared about your special day! Jeanette and Daryl made everything so smooth the day of our wedding. We never had professional videography done before so we were a little nervous, but they made us feel so comfortable, instructing us on what we needed to do, and they worked so well with our photographer, we could not ask for anything more! We received our video footage on time and were allowed to make a few changes with no issue. Our video came out amazing and it perfectly captures the whole day! A few months after receiving our footage we lost our USB and were devastated. Jeanette and Daryl came to the rescue and were able to send us another. Even though the wedding was 6 months ago, they treated us with such high importance and we could not be more thankful. Thank you, Jeanette and Daryl, from the bottom of our hearts, for perfectly capturing our day and for the best service.
Incredible team!
We were so pleased with illuminate productions. They are super sweet and so easy to communicate with. They had great ideas for video footage and they were never in the way and captured everything perfectly. We got our video so quickly and are obsessed with it!! We highly recommend using illuminate production for wedding videography, they will not disappoint.
Jeanette and Daryl are AMAZING! They came all the way down to Key West to film my wedding! They were on time, very sweet, and captured some great footage! They were even able to get my short film to me very promptly so that I could play it at my reception for family and friends to see that could not make it to Florida! I am very happy with them and the accommodations they made for me!
We had such a wonderful experience working with Jeanette and Daryl! They were so professional and easy to work with. On the day of the wedding, they did an amazing job capturing all the important and special details that mattered to us while remaining inconspicuous. They were also very quick about getting us the video after the wedding and helped us make sure it was perfect. We were so happy with the final product! We would highly recommend them to other couples to document their special day! Thanks again for everything!!
Jeanette and Daryl were great! They customized what package I wanted based on my wants and price point. They were easy to contact the entire time and were on time on our big day. They seemed to make filming easy and hassle free. After the wedding they asked what songs we wanted and sent our video in a timely manner and asked for feedback. We requested that they make 2-3 changes and they did happily. We highly recommend this duo!
Blessing in disguise....
Nine days before my wedding, my photographer cancelled on me. Normally this wouldn’t be as bad, but my videographer was included in my photography package. So I was out on the hunt.
By the grace of God, someone recommended Illuminate Productions to my MIL. The second I started speaking to Jeanette, I knew that everything happens for a reason. This happened because Jeanette and Darryl were *meant* to be our videographers. Not only were they incredibly accommodating, they worked great with our photographer, too!
Within 3 weeks of our wedding we had the highlight reel of our wedding & words cannot express how perfect it was. Every important detail was included. To be honest, I’ve already watched it 6 times and we got it emailed us today!
What’s even better is that this video is absolutely perfect. Honestly finding Jeanette and Darryl was not only a blessing, but it was truly God’s work.
I highly recommend them ❤️
Amazing! Words can't describe how grateful we are to Jeanette and Daryl. They truly captured all the highlights of our big day. Jeanette was very responsive a listened to everything we wanted. The video was great quality. I promise you won't go wrong booking them!
Jeanette & Daryl were such professionals on the day of our wedding and really helped make the ceremony special for us! The day was hectic, but they were very flexible and captured the day incredibly well. They also had excellent synergy with our wedding photographer (Light Sky Photography) and that made the whole day operate so smoothly because they each knew how to work together so well. The post-production video they created was moving and they were committed to making the video perfect for us. I would absolutely recommend them for your wedding day!
Jeanette and Daryl were such a pleasure to work with! They captured our wedding beautifully, and we are beyond happy with how our video turned out. We have watched it about a thousand times now! We highly recommend hiring them! They are magic! :)
Illuminate Productions did such a beautiful job of capturing our day. On top of being incredibly talented they are such kind and down to earth people. They truly made the day so stress free. Our priest was so pleased with them because they were practically invisible during the ceremony yet they still captured all the magic. They were also so patient with my requests and they made sure everything was absolutely perfect. We are so grateful that our photographer connected us with such wonderful people!!!
Illuminate Productions created beautiful, magical videos of my of my daughter's destination wedding in the Florida Keys! Jeanette and Daryl were wonderful to work with! Very reasonably priced with a wonderful product! Highly recommend!
Jeanette & Daryl were absolutely amazing to work with!
They were on time.
They had fun ideas.
They captured every single highlight of the wedding, plus more!
They were very professional.
We received our short preview video in a very respectable time frame, along with the long version video.
They made the changes very quickly that we asked for.
Thank you, Jeanette and Daryl, SO much! We are stunned by your work!
❤️ Megan & Taylor
Where do I begin! We were one of the fortunate couples to have our beautiful wedding in 2020 before covid happened and so happy we chose to get a video to capture one of the happiest days in our lives. Jeanette and her team were not only so professional but sweet and always answered our questions. Our video quality is top of the line, beautiful and we can’t stop watching it! We are so happy we chose them for our wedding & I highly recommend them for all events. My biggest regret was not adding more hours because the quality and effort they put into making our wedding video so beautiful was worth every penny spent & we should have done more hours! They gave us the video quick even with covid happening & we will use them again for future events! Thank you for capturing our special night because of you guys we have a video to look back & share our memories with our family & future kids! They are the best! Not only an amazing vendor for your wedding, but we became friends!
I can not say enough great things about them! Illuminate Productions went above and beyond all my expectations for a Videographer. I booked them for my wedding and I’m so glad I did! My video came out AMAZING!! Jeanette and Daryl both were very professional, friendly, and accommodating. I highly recommend them!
So blessed with Illuminate Productions !!
There isn’t a more accommodating, professional, kind, talented videography team than Illuminate Productions! There was never a text message that didn’t get answered immediately, even after our wedding wedding ! Jeanette is truly an angel! She was amazing from our first meeting and even till now - 7 months after our wedding! (I am so slow in writing this review !!) For the finished product - we could not be happier! We watched our highlight video for a month non stop! Illuminate Productions was also very open to any changes we wanted to have made without any hesitation they just wanted us to be happy! And we are thanks to Jeanette and Darryl! You guys made our wedding planning journey and our special day amazing !!
In short, book them right now! I wasn’t even going to get a videographer because I thought “who watches that later on, I have the pictures” but I am soooo happy I did. I have shared this video with all my guests and they all have the same response, that it’s wonderful. They truly captured the emotions and excitement of our day. Jeanette & Daryl love what they do and it shows in their quality of work. Not only is my video ABSOLUTELY perfect but they were such a joy to work with and a pleasure to have at my wedding.
When we started planning our wedding, we went back and forth deciding if we wanted a videographer or not. We put it on the back burner while we made other decisions. About a month before the wedding, we finally decided to search to see if anyone was available for our day. We knew after coming across Illuminate Productions that we needed a videographer! Their work was beautiful and we were so excited to learn that they were available for our day! Jeanette and Daryl are two wonderful and talented human beings! They were so sweet and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera! The video we received was so beautifully put together! Instant memories flooded through our heads while watching the video (along with tons of happy tears)! We love the raw footage that we also received on our USB! It’s so nice being able to relive such a special day in our lives!! We can confidently say that we recommend Illuminate Productions 110%!!
Jeanette and Daryl were awesome videographers! I waited until the last minute to book a videographer, and was so surprised they were still available for my date. It was meant to be! I think they were my only vendor that I did not meet in person prior to the event so I was little nervous, but they were so very responsive from day one and helped put me at ease. They showed up on the day of the wedding promptly, and ready to go! They worked wonderfully with my photographer as well. My highlight video was almost perfect on the first edit! I only had it re-worked once (because I was being picky about a couple of small items), but I know if I would have requested several re-edits, that they would have done it, no questions asked! I am just obsessed with my video, and so are all my friends and family! They were honestly a dream to work with, and I would recommend this team over and over again! Thank you!
Jeanette & Daryl we’re both great to work with. We hired them sort of short notice from our wedding date and they were able to produce a lovely wedding video that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. They were quick to respond via email and always a pleasure to work with!
I cannot say enough good things about Illuminate. They were so easy to work with. I barely even knew they were around - they are extremely professional and friendly. We had a bit of a chaotic wedding and you would never know it from our video. It came out perfect and we will truly treasure it for years to come. I highly recommend working with them.
Me and my beautiful wife had a blast, my wife was feeling so good and they understood, cared and made sure they did they best to caught every blessing moment. If l can do it all over again this videographer company would have been my first Choice every time. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!
The #1 thing I looked for when choosing my vendors was people who were independent and could be counted on to get the job done without me being on top of them. Jeannette and Daryl didn't just meet this expectation they surpassed it by a long shot! From the very beginning we told them we wanted a stylized video that stayed true to the goofy simple people my husband and I are, and they totally delivered! The finished product couldn't be more perfect! On the day of they were calm, professional, and extremely helpful. Jeannette was so sweet, kind, and basically spent the entire time telling me I looked amazing and that I was doing a great job. Honestly! What a sweet person! If you want professional grade videos with a team that will have your back no matter what, then choose these two. Trust me, you won't regret it!!
Jeanette and Daryl did an amazing job capturing our wedding. My husband and I are an interracial couple and our wedding was a combination of a West African wedding and American wedding, so one of my biggest concerns was making sure that the videographer captured that aspect of our wedding day. From the first time I contacted Jeanette, she was very pleasant and professional, not to mention attentive to our requests, including the day of the wedding and during the video review process during the weeks following the wedding. They both honored every request with had, and we are extremely satisfied with the final product. I would gladly recommend Illuminate Productions, to any bride or groom in need of quality and professional wedding videography. Thank you Jeanette and Daryl for capturing the best day of our lives!
Our wedding video was being what I expected and Jeanette is so courteous, professional, and responsive. My video felt like something from a romantic comedy lol I love it and have watched it over and over again. Thank you!
Illuminate was amazing to work with. From the first call, they took the time to understand my vision and all of possible concerns along the way. To be honest, I was a little hesitant because I knew they were on the inexpensive side so I set my expectations a little lower (just being honest) but can I just say they BLEW my expectations away.
Our video was incredible. Literally every person tells me that it’s the best they’ve ever seen. They captured our love, our craziness and our day magically.
Also- we never even knew they were there. Everyone at the wedding felt so comfortable.
Hire Illuminate! You can always make more money but you can NEVER get those memories back. It’s worth every single penny.
We loved our photos as well. But the video, captures our emotions and the feeling of the day in a whole new level.
Illuminate Productions did such an AMAZING job with our wedding video! We’ve watched it over and over again in addition to showing our family and friends. The day of the wedding was a little hectic, but Jeannette and Daryl were there right on time, and ready to go! They were on top of everything, filming all the key parts, and even more creative shots that we would never have even thought of. Both were very professional and so nice to deal with. Everyone that we’ve shared our video with give us nothing but compliments, but those compliments truly go to Illuminate Productions for capturing these moments for us. I would DEFINITELY recommend Illuminate Productions for anyone’s wedding video (which we have), or any videography needs for that matter. You will not be disappointed.
From the moment we got engaged, we knew this was the team we wanted to not only film our Wedding day but to share this emotional experience with. We were so blessed to have meet Jeanette prior to all of this, she is kind, caring and personable . Her and Daryl are not only amazing people to work with, they work with you in every detail possible.
They are professional, easy-going, and offer all types of packages as affordable prices. We are beyond happy when we saw our Wedding video as tears were coming down as I remembered our wedding and how every very detail was on that video. Making everything an unforgettable and something that we will cherish forever with our families and friends.
Had a wonderful experience with Illuminate. They provided an excellent service for our wedding. Jeanette especially was super responsive and flexible with all requests. The service was also a great value!
We are so lucky that we chose them to do our video for the wedding! They listened to exactly what we wanted to capture for our wedding day. They were so easy going and easy to work with! We can't wait to see the video of the day!
Illuminate was honestly the best!! Very easy to work with, always responds promptly and a complete pleasure to work with on the big day! My wedding video came out spectacular and captured it in such a magical way. They were super understanding when we were running a little behind schedule and made it work! Absolutely do not regret hiring them. They definitely are the best.
Illuminate Productions produced a beautiful video of our wedding day. I literally can not stop watching it. Their team is also very professional and has been gracious since the very first correspondence. My husband appreciates how they were so inconspicuous during the wedding and yet able to capture every moment. I love the quality of their work and their commitment to their service. Thank you Jeannette & Darryl.
I loved working with this company for my wedding. They were easy to communicate with, got shots of everything, took my editing suggestions and executed them perfectly, and they’re very nice people in general. My guests were very pleased with their work as well. I received many compliments regarding their videography.
Illuminate was our knight in shining armor. Our videographers we hired went bankrupt and Illuminated stepped in and saved the day. They were willing to work with us due to losing our money from the other company. They were an amazing addition to our wedding team. They were non-intrusive but still were always able to capture the moments. We can not wait to see how it all turns out!
Amazing people and very well organized! Made our day so laid back and captured some great content. Can not wait to see how the videos turned out. Highly recommend!!!!
Jeanette and Daryl were key to the overall success of our wedding days--- yep we had two weddings in two different cities in Florida--- and Illuminate Productions were there for both of them! The first was a vow exchange in South Florida for our immediate family with a sunrise start time. They were there on time and ready to shoot. The footage they captured did not disappoint--- it was breathtaking! This video footage was played at the start of our 2nd wedding; a ceremony for our extended family and friends where we exchanged our rings. We received so many compliments on the quality and beauty of the video. It was wonderful to reconnect with Jeanette and Daryl on our 2nd day to capture the rest of our special moments with our loved ones. They made sure to have the first video to us in a timely manner to allow for edits and they delivered on all of our requests to ensure we were happy. I implore anyone in need of videographer services to consider hiring Illuminate Productions. They will listen to your ideas---no matter how out of the box they may sound--- and do their best to deliver professionally, promptly, and with a positive outlook. They also extended such warm, genuine well wishes to my husband and I, which was icing on the cake! We can’t thank them enough for capturing our special moments so perfectly!
This is a long overdue review for Illuminate Productions! I did not have a videographer booked up until two weeks before my wedding when I found Illuminate Productions on The Knot. Jeanette was a pleasure to work with from the very beginning. She got back to me right away and answered all my questions. Daryl and Stephen shot my wedding on May 6, 2018 at St. Sophia's Cathedral and The Cocoplum and both were great to work with. They captured all the important and beautiful moments of the day, but yet were not in our faces. They truly do amazing work! I loved that they made the entire process so easygoing and seamless. Hire them, you will not regret it!
The professionalism of this team and the product they provide goes unmatched. Every single time I reached out to them, they responded back to me in a timely manner. Also, their energy never changed. My family and I were truly blessed by their involvement in our special day, and I hope to have other events so I can utilize their services. You have to use this company, THEY WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!!!
We used Illuminate Productions for a “trash the dress” shoot after our wedding. I wanted to be able to get some pictures/video of me and my husband with my horse so he could be apart of our special day. Jeanette and Daryl were the sweetest people and made the most beautiful video! They really have an eye for detail. We couldn’t be happier with our video! You will not regret going with Illuminate Productions for your special day!
SO HAPPY that we chose Jeanette and Daryl to video our special day! From the moment we spoke to them on the phone, they made us feel so comfortable. They were so easy to communicate with and always made us feel like their first priority. Also, they were so accommodating the day of our wedding! But most importantly, they captured the most beautiful moments from our special day. We will be forever thankful that we chose Illuminate Productions for wedding!
WOW! Jeanette and Daryl were probably our easiest vendors to work with. Not only did they responded immediately to every text, email, and phone call, (which is not easy to find in Miami), but they seamlessly integrated into our wedding day and required no attention from us! And most important of all, they delivered an incredible video! It exceeded our expectations and we will cherish it forever.
We are so happy that we found Illuminate Productions. They did such a great job and were easy to work with. We hired them somewhat last minute and they worked with us, and helped capture our special day. After the fact they made some changes to the video based on our request for different songs and again were really easy to work with. I highly recommend reaching out to them for your wedding day, and they will do a great job for you too.
Illuminate Production's team, Jeanette Garcia and Daryl Rodriguez, were a pleasure to work with. They captured beautiful footage of our wedding, but we forgot the cameras were even there! The montage of special moments that they put together was perfect to share with friends and family. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent service at a reasonable price.
Janette and Daryl were great and we are so happy Illuminate Productions documented our special day. They are very organized, great communication via email, text or a phone call away. We had a meet in person to go over all details and to get to know each other. They worked very well with the photographer and demonstrated they can handle stressful situation as they had to deal with rain and were able to capture our wedding day with no problem. Easy to coordinate, very reasonable pricing, good eye for key moments and they made sure we were happy with our summary wedding video and raw video in a usb we provided. They never intruded and we didn't notice they were there. Very pleasant and sweet people to work with. Thanks so much! We loved it :)
Illuminate production was great! They were right on schedule the whole night and even stayed to work an extra hour longer than our original contract when we wanted to get more video of people dancing.
Wanted to write a review because this is how we found this wonderful couple. We told Jeanette of our expectations and they went well beyond what we thought would be the end result. These two sure have a special talent when it comes to capturing a special day. We asked to change a few things and there was no hesitation from them. Thank you again guys for capturing the best day of our life
I wanted to leave a review because Illuminate was very accommodating and understanding with our needs/requests for the video editing. When there was an issue with our video that could not be fixed, they tried different solutions and when none of those worked a partial refund was delivered when requested. While the final product of the video was not the expected quality, Illuminate deserves 5 stars for their customer service.
Illuminate Productions did a great job capturing our wedding! They were very receptive to meeting our requests and provided us with an amazing wedding video. We would hire them again to capture other special occasions for us anytime!
