I cannot recommend Jonathon Goodro Films enough! I decided with two months to go until wedding day, that I wanted a wedding film and reached out to Jonathon. Jonathon was already booked to shoot another wedding that day, but went out of his way to find another video shooter to capture all the special moments of our day. She was wonderful and so fun to work with! Jonathon worked wonders creating the most beautiful wedding film. Every moment was captured perfectly and I got to relive some of the feelings I felt on our wedding day all over again! Our film turned out better than I could have every imagined and I can’t stop watching it. Jonathon was a joy to work with and always delivers the best results!

Jonathon was out shooting another wedding, so he had his protégé Elham shoot ours. Jonathon made sure I knew how much work Elham has done for him over the last few years. Elham was so fun, and he was so reassuring always letting us know he's got it. Although Jonathon was not able to be at our wedding, his professionalism, kindness, and talent was never in question!! I am so incredibly thankful I found Jonathon for our wedding video; his work is absolutely amazing. My husband and I smiled the whole time watching what he created out of our day. Will never be able to thank him enough!!

Jonathon was definitely one of the most professional vendors we hired. His response time was very fast and he was updating me on the video progress post wedding. Our wedding video was 41 minutes long and BEAUTIFUL. His work is amazing and we are absolutely obsessed with our video. 100/10 would recommend Jonathon for your wedding and life events!

When I found Jonathan on social media I knew I had to book him for our wedding! I remember showing my now husband his videos and he knew I wanted the video and told me to book him if I wanted to. After receiving our video back my husband is so happy that we did book him! working with Jonathan leading up to the wedding was seamless! He captured all the best moments we both either forgot or was not present for! I love watching our video and reliving the entirety of the best day ever! If you are considering booking Jonathan just do it! You will have zero regrets and will get back the absolute best video you could ever ask for!

The best choice I could have made for my wedding was hiring Jonathon as our videographer!! We got married less than 2 weeks ago and already have our wedding video back. We also did a love story interview for the reception and we are still getting compliments on it! He is beyond talented and easy to work with! My husband and I have rewatched all of our videos at least once a day! They have me in tears every time. He has a way of conveying all of the emotions from our big days into the video. I’d hire him for everything if I could! I’ll never regret choosing him for our wedding day!

I got married 2 weeks ago and already got my wedding video!!! I’ve been watching it repeat most of the day lol 🤣🤣 The day after the wedding I received a quick lil 10-15 second sneak peek video (which was absolutely above and beyond expectations) which immediately made me SO freakin HAPPY we decided to splurge and go with a videographer along with the photographer. Jonathon also made us a 2-3 min trailer and then the FULL VIDEO (20min) that captured our whole day. I’m freakin obsessed!!! If you’re on the fence about getting a videographer this is your sign TO GET THE VIDEOGRAPHER - I promise you won’t be disappointed! Jonathon and Jami O (photographer) are the dream team!!! ❤️

Jonathon is truly one of a kind! From our very first phone call to the delivery of our final video, he was an absolute pleasure to work with. His professionalism and talent are unmatched, and his friendly, flexible approach made everything so easy. We couldn’t be happier with the final product, and we're so grateful to have had Jonathon be part of our special day. He worked seamlessly with our photographer, ensuring everything went off without a hitch. We can't recommend Jonathon highly enough! Thank you for capturing such beautiful memories—we’ll cherish this video for years to come. It’s truly the gift that keeps on giving.

Jonathon did an AMAZING job with our wedding video. As we watch our video back it truly makes me feel like we are back in the moment of our wedding day. Jonathon unfortunately couldn't be the one to personally video our wedding, but Elham who he sent in his place did a great job of filming during the day. He had a very genuine personality and made the filming process feel like a breeze. I would 100% recommend Jonathon to be your wedding photographer.

Jonathon exceeded our expectations! He showed up on time, was very friendly and respectful to everyone. He worked well with our photographer and made the day as painless as possible for my husband and I! He also gave us a sneak peak of our video a week after our wedding - which was the best surprise! It was an honor for him to film our wedding day! I would highly recommend hiring Jonathon for your big day!!

Jonathan Goodro’s talent exceeds all bounds! My husband and I feel so grateful that he was able to capture our special day and love for one another perfectly. We did a “love story” video to play at the reception, and we are still receiving comments about how well done it was. He was so easy to work with, and blended in with the rest of us. His communication before and leading up to the big day was phenomenal–we knew when and where to expect him and the turnaround time for the video. The wedding video turned out absolutely beautiful–it is a piece of art that we will be able to treasure forever. He captured every single small detail throughout the day, leaving our friends and family in awe of his work. If you want an amazing videographer, book Jonathan!!

As the mother of the bride, the wedding weekend/day seems like a total whirlwind of events. Jonathon was there filming the entire day and he just blended in with all the chaos and excitement. I didn’t even realize he was there most of the time….no awkwardness at all. I actually commented to someone that I felt rude that I didn’t get to visit with him! There are so many moments I do not remember from the day, but I know that Jonathon captured them and will bring them to life in his work of art he’ll put together for my daughter and son-in-law.
The pre-wedding video he shot of my daughter and now husband, brings me to tears every time I watch it. His work is made with such attention to detail and completely captures the love and friendship that is shared between the two. It’s very ovvios he invests himself into his work. We even have friends and family sharing the link on social media because it’s simply, that good!
Thank you is not enough for all your hard work, we cannot wait to see the final product!

Jonathan did such an amazing job filming all of the special moments of our wedding day! I can’t recommend him enough! My older sister booked Jonathan for her wedding and he was the one vendor she HIGHLY recommended I book the same from her wedding and I don’t regret it! Jonathan stays quiet and behind the scenes so that you can enjoy your day to the fullest but he is there every second of the way capturing every little detail and I can’t thank him enough. The turnaround time was great and it was so fun to be able to hook our wedding film up on the tv and relive our special day through Jonathan’s amazingly, talented work!

Jonathon was everything we dreamed of and more for our wedding videographer. He is timely in his replies to clients, he keeps you in the loop at all times, and he is so very talented in what he does. Not only did he capture our Love Story perfectly, but our wedding video is phenomenal! He captured every big moment and more. I could not be more thrilled with how our videos turned out. Not only is Johnathon talented, but he is genuinely a great person. He wants to make your day special and you can tell that he loves love. It was so comforting knowing that he was going to capture our wedding day/Love Story as if it were his own. I would HIGHLY suggest doing the Love Story video before the wedding. My husband and I are not very smooth with our words and are a little camera shy but Jonathon made us look so natural with the camera. WEEKS after our wedding we were still getting phone calls and texts from our guests complimenting/asking about our Love Story that we showed at the reception. Don't walk, RUN and book Jonathon while you can!

We just had our wedding in December and Jonathon did an AMAZING job. I cannot say enough good things! Not only was he super easy to work with and flexible with traveling for our wedding, but he was able to capture our special day and love story so beautifully. I have gotten and still get so many compliments on it all! We will cherish the memories he was able to capture forever!

From the moment we began planning our special day, working with Jonathon was an absolute delight. His ease of communication and genuine interest in capturing our vision made the entire process seamless. His professionalism shone through every step, ensuring he captured all the pivotal moments without ever feeling intrusive. When we received our wedding video, we were utterly blown away. The quality was unparalleled, evoking emotions we'll cherish forever. If you're seeking not just a videographer, but a true artist who understands and values your story, look no further. A heartfelt thank you for immortalizing our day so beautifully!

I highly recommend JG for any videography needs! JG is a professional who cares about his clients and his work. He was our wedding videographer and did an amazing job! Our wedding was full of plan D's due to rain, but he remained calm and provided ideas to help make the day still amazing! In addition, he was very prompt with delivering his product! He provided stills almost immediately and had sneak peak videos/reels of the day before the actual video was complete. He was professional and very easy to work with from the planning stages to the day of! Check out his social media account to see for yourself! @jg_film

As a professional wedding DJ, I am so excited when I see Jonathon on site, for two reasons. One, he communicates well with me and the wedding planners for day of schedules/ time line, and works well with the rest of the vendors, to ensure a beautiful day for our bride and groom. Two, I can re-live the day, with an absolute perfect film of the ceremony/reception! Can’t wait to work with him again.

I could not recommend Jonathon enough! He does an amazing job and has incredibly fast turn around for the high quality work he does. He provided us with a short, captivating, trailer video and film stills just four days after the wedding then the full film just 3 days later. He even answered me quickly when I had questions about some of the lighting in the full film after seeing it. Somehow he was able to capture every little detail I didn’t know I needed. His level of detail and thoughtfulness moved several of us to tears as we were able to relive all of of the precious moments from our wedding day. Our video captured our love perfectly and every time I go to watch it I have to watch it more than once! I’m so glad we have this amazing keepsake to look back on for years to come. Hiring Jonathon for your wedding should be first on your to-do list!

I could not have asked for a better videographer! He was so awesome to work with during the day of the wedding. The video is AMAZING and is such awesome quality. He even sent me an extra video so I could watch the wedding party walking in to our reception per request. Truly awesome to work with! Would recommend him to anyone. Also I had my full edited video within a month from wedding date. Absolutely awesome.

Jonathon did an absolutely stunning job assembling the cinematic masterpiece that is our wedding video. His protege captured our day so beautifully. We had a colorful, floral wedding and Jonathon’s editing makes watching the video feel like we’re there again. Not to mention, he did this amazing color to black & white (and back to color again) transition during our first dance, which made us look like movie stars! My husband and I have already watched it many times because we love it so much! Also, a SUPER fast turnaround on receiving the finished product.
Future brides: Though Jonathon is incredibly accommodating, if you’re on the fence about which package is right for your wedding, or if you’re an overwhelmed bride like I was, make it easy on yourself and opt for more coverage of your special day. I promise you won’t get tired of reliving every single cinematic captured moment.

I can not recommend Jonathon enough!! I hired him for my wedding film and I would do it all over again. Jonathon was flexible with my last-minute change of plans and was willing to do everything to make sure my day went well. He made the day feel so comfortable that I forgot he was even holding a camera. His work was immaculate and captured the day perfectly. Just his trailer had my family and me in tears. He is truly talented in this area of work. Do not hesitate, book him!!!

5 stars isn't enough. Jonathon created a beautiful remembrance of my day. The pictures and videos were more than I could have ever asked for. He captured moments that I might have missed or not remembered, without him. Jonathon suggested an area with flowers and these ended up being some of my favorite pictures.
The video is something I have watched over and over and over. Jonathon created a piece that brings me happy tears every time I watch it. It even made my husband cry, as Jonathon made us look so wonderful.
So easy to work with. Brought great energy and made the day flow smoothly. Had a small trailer back in just a few days for us to look at. Made the day perfect and captured every detail, from flowers, to the reception ceiling detail, to every moment important moment with my father and husband.
100% recommend hiring Jonathon. Best videographer/film creator out there!

Jonathan Goodro was amazing to work with. He is prompt, friendly, and professional. He did a great job with our wedding video and I couldn't have asked for more. He is quick with turn around time yet everything is done professionally. You get a trailer, a shorter video, and also a longer video. He did great capturing our wedding and I am suggesting him to everyone I know that is looking for a videographer.
If you are wanting someone who is friendly, professional and talented, he is your guy!

Where do I even start??? So 3 weeks before my wedding my original videographer cancelled. I was at a complete stand still. That day we had to meet with our venue to finalize everything and in the middle of the meeting I saw Jonathan doing what he does best putting together another wedding. I KNEW by the looks of his professionalism and attire I wanted HIM. So my wedding planner told me she will go chat with him… that day we got in contact and he was able to help me last minute with doing our videography for my wedding. I can’t explain how beautiful everything came out but it was a DREAM! I wish I could post my short video here to show you all his work! I would recommend to EVERYONE to definitely give this guy a try! All I can say is I THANK GOD my original people cancelled because I do NOT think in anyway my videography would have been better than it is now!

I have been meaning to write this review ever since my wedding in August. I just re-watched my husband and I's wedding video for the first time since we last got it in August and it brought back ALL THE FEELS! Jonathon does an amazing job capturing the big stuff as well as the tiniest details. I'm so happy we hired him because the day of our wedding we were so busy and I don't remember seeing so many of the things that I had worked so hard on BUT I was able to see it all on the video! I have memories that will last a life time but Jonathon captured something that will last even longer! I'm so thankful to have something that my future children and grandchildren will be able to watch. Couldn't recommend him enough!!!

Jonathon did an absolute stunning job from the time we met months before our wedding all the way up to presenting us with our wedding video. He was extremely accommodating and professional! His skills go way beyond production. Jonathon was personable and got to know my Husband and I in order to deliver an awesome Love Story we played at our reception. He captured all we could have asked for and much more. If you're looking for a videographer, Jonathon is your guy! He is extremely skilled at what he does and is a stand up, kind human to work with. Thank you so much, Jonathon, for capturing our special day and creating us multiple videos we are able to look back on and cherish forever!

I had my wedding in July of this year and Jonathon was seriously amazing. His wife's due date was around my wedding day and I was fully aware from the beginning, he had a backup plan in case she went into labor, had a backup person with him the entire day and would of course edit all of the footage regardless. Thankfully baby was born after my big day but I was never worried. I got my trailer back so fast and my full video shortly afterwards. I would 100% recommend him for any special occasion. He was by my side the whole day and I honestly barely even noticed the camera. We LOVE our video and will cherish it forever.

We decided on a videographer late in the process and we were so happy we did and so happy we chose Jonathon. He was easy to work with and captured every important moment of the day. He went above and beyond what we paid. We’ve had so much positive feedback from our friends and family on how much they loved the preview and full video. Thank you for capturing our special day. We will watch it for years to come. We couldn’t be happier with our decision and would recommend anyone that is looking for a videographer to choose Jonathon.

Jonathan Goodro did an amazing job with our wedding video!
He was so easy to work with on the day. He stayed by my side capturing every important moment of the day, however, there were times I totally forgot he was there! He did not make you feel like you were being followed or filmed all day. He even captures details of your venue, which we greatly appreciated.
After the wedding he posted teasers throughout the week and it was so fun to watch and relive! When he sent us the trailer we were in awe! It was 2. 5 minutes long and captured the day perfectly. I’ve watched it 100s of times. It was so easy to send to family and friends and so many of them were in tears watching the video. Everyone has shared how Jonathan captured the love we have for one another perfectly. Shortly after we got the trailer he sent us the full video and it is PERFECT! He also sent us the DVD and Blue-ray, all within two weeks of our wedding! I am amazed at how quickly, yet incredibly professional everything was done!
I have recommended Jonathan to so many already! My sisters both want him for when the get married. He has varying packages for different budgets and even did a custom package for my husband and I.
If you are wanting a videographer that is professional, talented, and will capture your day beautifully, look no further. I am so lucky I found him because my husband and I will forever have the memories of the best day of our lives on a flawless video.
Thank you for everything Jonathan!

My experience working with Jonathon was amazing. Videography was something we wanted to prioritize for our wedding to capture our special day and all the memories. Jonathon did exactly that and more. Using his creative and cinematic skills, he was able to capture truly authentic moments throughout our entire day-from getting ready, to first looks, ceremony, speeches, and our dances. His astounding videography skills are truly impressive and we were blown away in Awe of the trailer/highlights and the wedding DVD. Throughout the entire experience he was extremely easy to work with and was always there with a quick reply. His communication with us was fantastic and having him apart of our day made it special. Jonathon is truly kind, genuine, highly skilled, and brought great vibes throughout our entire wedding day. He continued to make us feel special as he sent us sneak peeks throughout the week following the wedding. We are overjoyed with our entire experience with Jonathon and his incredible work. If you are looking for someone who loves what they do, incredibly talented, very easy to work with, and someone you can trust-look no further than Jonathon Goodro!
