James and Katie captured my May wedding in Sarasota, and my husband and I love the resulting highlight video and the other footage they gathered. The video felt really genuine and true to us and captured so many fun and special moments, and we can't watch it without smiling the entire time. The additional footage is also really well-done -- we love watching some of the moments we didn't get to see in person on the wedding day. We really enjoyed working with James and Katie -- they were so professional and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. I'd highly recommend considering Imagery for your wedding!
Our photographer recommended Imagery Wedding Films to us and we are so glad she did! James is professional, responsive, and extremely talented. He captured our big moments with so much emotion and all the little details between that made our wedding day special and unique. The video he delivered was simply beautiful. We will cherish it and the sweet memories captured for all the years ahead. I absolutely recommend Imagery Wedding Films to all couples in the area. James really delivers!
I cannot recommend James/Imagery Wedding Films enough, they were one of my favorite vendors. We had a great experience working with him, he was friendly & professional from beginning to end. He did not hesitate to answer all of our initial questions and was communicative leading up to our wedding. If he set an expectation, he met it. He even went above & beyond for us to be able to use drone footage in our video. Both James and his second shooter were great day of and the finished product really points to their ability to see & capture special moments in unique perspectives. We could not be happier with how he pieced our footage together, it really captured us and our day perfectly. We even ended up adding on the documentary edit and it was so fun to see our whole wedding through another perspective since the day goes so fast, we were crying & laughing while watching it. I would 100% work with James over & over again! Trust your gut when you choose your vendors!
Videography for your wedding is an investment, but picking Imagery Wedding Films is a worthwhile one! My husband and I are in awe of how James captured the essence of the day in our wedding highlight. It truly brings our wedding day to life to be able to rewatch and hear our family and friends in our video. Him and his assistant were a pleasure to work with, professional, and were not noticed at all during the wedding. If you are on the fence about hiring a videographer for your wedding, you absolutely must. There is nothing like rewatching your first dance over again, seeing the wind sweep up your veil, or hear the laughter of your family and friends during toasts. Book James - he’s simply the best!
James was the most amazing wedding videographer! He was so personable and professional! Our video turned out amazing, and we are so happy we chose Imagery Wedding Films!
If you are even considering Imagery Wedding Films and the off chance they have your date, you MUST book them!! You will have the most beautiful product that captures your wedding day in a way that no picture can. Not only did I realize having a videographer truly is a must, but it is so worth it to spend the extra $$ to have a quality video with a reliable videographer. And you get that and so much more with Imagery Wedding Films. James was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding. He was so kind and truly cared about/paid attention to the special moments and the essence of our day that we wanted captured. He would respond immediately and he worked with me to come up with a package that allowed me to have all that I wanted, which included the social media highlight, the highlight video, and the documentary edit with our raw footage. And I am so glad we decided to go with all of that!
On the day of, James was so easy and friendly. He captured all of our candid moments and it almost felt like he wasn't there (in the best way!). Our videos, along with many others that I watched beforehand, just blew us away. It was the perfect mix of sweet, tender, funny, exciting, and sentimental. Beyond the quality of the videos, I was so impressed by the delivery time of all of our videos/footage. We had our social media trailer less than 48 hours after our wedding and our full highlight film and raw footage less than a month after. I truly could go on and on about how amazing our video is and how wonderful Imagery Wedding Films is. You must must must use them!!
Wow! All I can say is we are so thankful we booked a videographer. It was the best decision we made. We both cried, laughed, and were blown away by our highlight video. Our vows and day were captured and edited perfectly!
Hiring a videographer is a MUST! The videos capture so much more than photos and for quality you much book James/Imagery wedding films! The quality and turn around time is AMAZING!! The voice overs and music and quality of video are top notch!
James is super kind and a calming presence to have on your wedding day. I would 100% recommend Imagery Wedding Films!
When we first started the wedding planning process, we did not think we needed a videographer. Then, when we were told we'd regret it, we immediately called James at Imagery Wedding. James was the absolute best person for the job - and I felt even better that our photographer (Set Free Photography) had worked with him many times and had such great things to say. That was the most important. James was so fun to work with - so professional, kind, and organized. He had to go back and forth from my room to my groom's room while getting ready, and he did not once seem stressed. He was so calm and was able to get A TON of incredible footage without being noticed. I have heard from so many guests that they did not even realized he was there taking video. I am so happy (and feel so lucky) that James was part of our wedding day. We have not stopped watching our wedding video, and I know reliving it wouldn't be possible without his great work. I couldn't recommend him more!!!
WOW. James absolutely blew us away with our wedding video. He so beautifully captured our day and those very special moments. He has a way of recording intimate details of the day while still giving us the privacy and space we needed. James worked hard to edit our video quickly so we could share it with our friends and family for Thanksgiving. Our video is exceptional and we cannot thank him enough for providing us with something we can relive for the rest of our lives. I am so glad we chose him to document our day. Thank you so much!!
James is the absolute best of the best. Not only is his work amazing, he is such a joy to work with. He is so professional, kind, and organized. He truly loves what he does and it shows clearly. I cannot say enough good things about James! He is calm and collected and is able to get the best footage while still making everyone so comfortable that they do not even notice they are being filmed. I will always have the best memories from our wedding day and that is all thanks to James!! I couldn't recommend him more!
Having James as our videographer was one of the best decisions we ever made for our wedding. We originally were questioning the idea of having a videographer and I’m so so happy we decided to hire Imagery wedding films. James is not only extremely talented, but was so sweet and professional to be around. He was able to capture so many special moments and create the most beautiful video that brings tears to our eyes. To anyone questioning if a video is worth it... it truly is, but don’t opt for a cheaper option. I promise you the highlight video and raw footage from Imagery wedding films are worth so much more. Being able to hear our vows over and over while watching the emotion and fun had at our wedding is such a gift we will be able to cherish forever.
Thank you James!
JAMES is the man I would chose for weddings. He was absolutely wonderful. We got married at the Don Cesar in St Petes beach. He captured the moments as realistic as one would expect. The videos were very nicely done - everything about it. Both my wife and I were more than pleased with his work. I would give 10 stars if I could. Also - I am a physician and also very seasoned wild life photographer myself with 20 years experience in photography and as such I am picky about image quality and composition. I will honestly say I was stunned and humbled but what this man can do with his cinematographic skills. I have no doubt he will evolve to be even more famous in film industry in the future hopefully HOLLYWOOD or somewhere .... and we will have the privilege of saying "I know that guy, he was our wedding cinematographer". We recommend him without hesitation. Also - for future couples : he is in high demand - and if you are lucky that he is available for your wedding dates , just book him. Don't even thing about shopping around - the price you pay James is well worth it because you won't regret one penny of it when you look at the videos later in your life.
If you could add a sixth star to a review it would be for James. He is extremely professional, quick to answer communication, and did I mention how talented he is? The films speak for themselves. His work is unbelievable.
I hired James last minute (a few weeks before our wedding!), luckily for us he was available. I had wanted a videographer from the beginning but thought it was an extra expense and not a necessity. WRONG! A video is a MUST! It is an important investment. James is able to capture all the feels on the biggest day of your life. The words, emotions, laughter, fun, and tears all bundled up into a cinematic masterpiece.
It is the fastest day of your life and I am forever grateful to be able to look back at these moments. Many, of which I didn't even get to witness. As the bride and groom you end up missing many of the little moments such as your dog gazing up at you when you say your vows or your nephew playing in the sand up by the wedding arch during the ceremony.
You know your video is stunning when the feedback you hear from friends and family is that they cried while watching it. James was able to beautifully capture the love between my husband and I. We are forever grateful for his creative talents.
XOXO,

James came recommended to us by friends who were recently married and we were thrilled to learn he was available to film our own wedding. From the beginning James was professional, kind, and accessible. While shooting the wedding he worked well with our photographer and made us comfortable in front of the camera. Best of all, he quickly provided us an amazing quality video that beautifully captured the scenes and emotion of our day. We are so glad we hired Imagery Wedding Films!
James was really great to work with. He was constantly in contact with us and made us feel at ease at all times. He was very attentive and helpful the day of the wedding and was really great at directing us along the way. Would highly recommend him for your big day!
James was absolutely amazing to work with!! He has such a laid back personality and created a safe and fun environment to do our more personal moments of videoing in! The turn around time from our wedding to seeing our video was so quick, and the final product was PERFECT!! We got so many compliments about our wedding video, and could not stop watching it ourselves! I would 1,000% recommend James!!
James was an absolute gem to work with! He truly listened to us and understood exactly what we wanted to capture on our wedding day. It felt like he wasn't there at all and yet he somehow got everything, and the final result was even better than I could have imagined. I've watched and shared our video countless times and it always gets high praise. The turnaround time was quick as well. I can't say enough good things about working with James!
Wow. My husband and I cannot say enough kind words about James and Imagery Wedding Films! Our wedding was April 2018 and we are still getting compliments on our wedding video! We just watched it last week together and cried...again! Not only is our video just pure magic but it actually captures every segment of our wedding perfectly and it truly helps us remember the day! He captured all the details we told him were important to us and added great “behind the scenes” moments I may have missed! James was easy to work with leading up to our wedding and so great during the actual day. It was like he wasn’t there at all (he blended in so perfectly with our wedding party and family) and yet we was there at every big moment not skipping a beat! 10/10 HIGHLY recommend! Fabulous person and product!
James was great! So professional and easy to work with. We were beyond thrilled with our video. So much so we added on to it after the initial cut and have recommended friends to use his services.
James is absolutely amazing. He is caring and has so much passion for his work. He met with my husband and I before our wedding to get to know us better. He created the most perfect wedding video that we still watch to this day. I would HIGHLY recommend James. The best of the best!
My husband and I hired James for our Naples, Florida wedding in July and are still in awe of his work. Aside from James's kind hearted personality, his professionalism and work ethic can be felt from miles away. Leading up to the wedding, James was quick and efficient answering any emails or calls we had with questions or concerns about our wedding videography. The final product allowed us to see our beautiful and special wedding day from a different point of view. I can say with certainty hiring James was one of the best decisions we made! Thank you James and Imagery Wedding Films, we are forever grateful for your work!
It's been 18 months since our wedding and friends are still watching or video often, letting us know they're reliving our day! James was fantastic to work with, he was professional and personable, made us both feel at ease, and truly captured the atmosphere of our wedding through his film. We absolutely love it, and will treasure it forever. Thank you James, we couldn't have asked for anything better!
James was incredible to work with!! He was great with communicating through the entire process and he captured all of the special moments throughout the day. We were amazed! We have watched the final product over and over and over. You can tell that he puts a lot of time and effort into the work. He is so talented. Would highly highly recommend!
We absolutely love the video Imagery Wedding Films made of our wedding! We had a destination wedding, and family and friends who weren’t able to make it said watching the video made them feel like they were there.
We had a lot of mixed reviews on hiring a videographer, but I cannot express enough how you will want a video to remember your night with. The day/night goes by so fast and the video makes you remember things in a way you can’t get with just photos. Our family and friends have all loved watching our video, and we’ve received so many comments on how it’s one of the best quality wedding videos that they’ve seen.
Hiring James and imagery wedding films was probably one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They’re so talented at what they do, and they captured amazing details of our wedding that we’ll now have forever. James is so professional and has been so fun to work with. We 100% recommend hiring Imagery Wedding Films, and promise you will not regret it!
I don't even know where to begin. If you're not hiring James, you're doing it wrong. What an exceptional experience. Professional, transparent, & an overall great guy. He made everything so easy & effortless for us. Pay the extra money & get the wedding teaser - it's just perfect. My wife & I could not stop watching it, crying our eyes out from the moments he captured on our special day. Amazing work James! A++++ ***HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!***
We are so thankful for James! I will admit we were a couple that considered skipping videography and now that we have these amazing memories I could not be more pleased that we went for it!! Our wedding planner urged us to keep this service and suggested James and he could not have been more easy to work with. He was organized, attentive and so laid back. I hate being the center of attention, so the camera is not my favorite, but James put us all so at ease. He was funny and appreciated us and our guests. He filmed both our rehearsal dinner (HIGHLY recommend, as we did all speeches except for my dad's speech that night) and our wedding day. He turned around a 3 minute trailer so promptly - the Tuesday after our Saturday wedding and a 10 minute film just two weeks after. They were both so beautifully done and we did not have to guide him on the layout at all. We have been so pleased we are going to make the additional purchase of all raw footage too - which James will organize in chapters to make easier to navigate. Do not miss out on hiring him to capture your wedding memories!!
James is the best! We were lucky enough to have him as our videographer and I am so grateful for that. He is so laid back, kind, and talented. He is also incredibly organized and responsive which made the planning process so easy. He got our video to us SUPER fast and it is absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend James enough!
Our experience with James and Imagery Wedding Films was great! James skyped with us before our wedding to get a better sense for what we wanted to capture in our video. He was very easy to reach even though we were in different states & he was responsive to any email we sent.
As for the day of our wedding, you don't even realize when he's filming. He's so discrete yet at the same time he provides great direction. Our end result was beautiful. I'd absolutely recommend hiring James if you're looking for a wedding videographer (whether in FL or out of state). Purchase the Wedding Trailer on top of getting your Wedding Film- it's worth it. The music and James' talent with editing made this the best investment of our wedding.
I am huge advocate of Wedding Videos, nothing will tell your love story for years to come better than video. One of the best videographers to capture those moments is James Blankenfeld at Imagery Wedding Films. From a professional perspective, he is very quick at replying and is so accommodating. On the Wedding day, we barely knew he was there, he was inconspicuous, which is how we wanted it. James provided a quick turnaround. My husband and I were blown away by how amazing the Wedding Video turned out. It told our story better than we imaged and we are going to cherish it forever. We already have a plan for our first anniversary, which consists of watching our wedding video while drinking champagne and eating our top tier of Wedding cake. I can’t wait!
With Imagery Films, you get so much more than a wedding video. James creates videos that are filled with the emotions of your special day. He takes the time to get to know you as a couple to understand what is the most important to you. He's timely with delivery and responsive to you via email. We have enjoyed working with James so much! (And are constantly playing our wedding video on repeat after just receiving it.)
James reached out to us through a wedding website. We were initially hesitant to use him because he was located so far from us. However, his responsiveness and friendliness convinced us to talk with him. After an informal Skype conversation, we were sold. Not only was James able to effectively and completely answer our questions, he had the knowledge and experience that made us feel confident in his services. He was our most responsive vendor, highly communicative and wanting to make sure everything was going smoothly.
Before the event, he coordinated directly with our band, venue, and photographer to ensure scheduling, timing, and equipment compatibility. At his own request, James attended the rehearsal. He used this opportunity to test lighting, get a feel for the venue, and introduce himself in person. The day-of, James worked beautifully with the other vendors. He arrived early and was flexible, adding time at the last minute. He was friendly, professional, and truly seemed (and was!) excited to be there. He seemed like more of an old friend than someone working at an event.
Our trailer was delivered less than a week after the wedding. It was amazing, and left us wanting more. We did not need to wait long, as our final video was delivered exactly two weeks after the wedding. My husband and I watched it twice in a row because it made us remember even the smallest of details and the happiest of moments. The audio-visual quality is impeccable and every major moment was captured.
Bottom Line: James was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was reasonably priced, extremely friendly, and the quality of his work is excellent. You will not regret hiring him for your big event. We hope he is around in about 14 years for our future Bar or Bat Mitzvah!!!
