It was so amazing to work with Austin for our wedding video and we cannot recommend him and his team enough. In the lead up to our wedding, he was incredibly receptive and open to ...
any of our ideas and visions for our video and in the final product, he executed on all of those to a tee and made everything even better than we could have imagined. Throughout the whole process, he recommended so many amazing creative directions and in the end, through all of that vision, he produced a video that my wife and I watched on repeat for days. He also worked flawlessly with our photographer even though they had never worked together before, and they as a team made the photo and video process on our wedding day so incredibly smooth and seamless. He has the utmost professionalism and creativity, and we really cannot speak highly enough of him and his work. 11/10, would absolutely recommend to everyone!!

Kindly Weddings!
Before our wedding, Austin took the time to get to know us, our story, and what was most important to us. His communication was always great too. He traveled all the way to Italy to capture our intimate wedding and went above and beyond for us in every way! The way he shoots is very low-key, fly on the wall style, but will also step in whenever needed. We had complete trust that Austin was going to do an amazing job with our film, but when we saw it for the first time, we were completely blown away! It immediately brought us back to each moment. There were even moments we didn't know about or didn't remember happening! His style is like a professional home movie -- high-quality and visually beautiful, but full of real moments and raw emotion. We especially love the sounds and audio he includes to bring the video to life.
Your wedding day goes by SO fast, and we can't imagine not being able to relive it over and over again in this way. We continue to watch our film all of the time and are so so grateful for Austin. Thanks to him, we have one of the best days of our lives captured so perfectly.
When looking for a videographer, my husband and I were looking for someone who captured authentic moments, told a story, and brought out the magic in a couple's day. This lead us ...
to choosing Austin and Kindly Weddings for our wedding day; Austin was exceptional in every way. His calm demeanor during the day kept us calm, he caught moments I was not aware he was even there during as he blended in so seamlessly with our day, and truly captured the essence of my husband and I as a couple.
Your wedding day goes by in a blur no matter how hard you focus on remaining present in every moment; watching our video back reminds me of those small moments and brings back all of the emotions. There is not a single special moment that wasn't captured. It takes an exceptional storyteller to bring out that feeling in you, and Austin struck the mark in every category. We have watched our wedding video multiple times since we received it about 2 months ago, and it gets better and better every time.
THANK YOU Austin for the most special video and the most perfect remembrance of our wedding day. Work with Austin and you will most definitely not be disappointed!
The best decision I made for my wedding aside from choosing my husband, haha!! Austin and his team are so personable, warm, down-to-earth and kind, yet they seem to disappear behin...
d the scenes throughout the wedding day. But just a few months later and you have a literal masterpiece film to remember your one and only special day by. True artistry and talent in every captured moment, set to music and not just to be a good "showy" wedding video -- but to truly tell the story of your love that is both timeless and sincere. I am so grateful I chose Kindly and would recommend to anyone I know getting married.
I had the great honor to marry my son and his beautiful bride. Despite a radical change in plans due to COVID, they had a wonderful ceremony on the cliffs of Big Sur with only the...
parents in attendance. It was a beautiful yet unconventional setting filled with high winds, tourists and a whole lot of uneven ground. As you can imagine, all of us that were there knew how special the day was and I wondered how it would come across in a video. Afterall, the setting was breathtaking, the vibe of the time before and after the wedding was priceless, the love between Ryan and Sarah and between the parents was palpable. It was simply magical. It is with absolute astonishment that Austin captured the very feel, the very essence of that day with such truth and clarity. I don't think I can adequately describe how perfectly he captured what we were all feeling that day. It's one thing to get all the high points of a wedding but quite another to weave them in and out of eachother like a perfect story . I can't begin to know the technical expertise that went into doing that but he did it and then some. Quite simply, he captured their love and their day in a timeless and classic style. I know that one day when my memory fails, this video will take me back to that day and I will feel those same feelings again. I never would have thought that a wedding video could capture the feelings and the energy of an event so perfectly and retell it in a way that transported the viewer to that very moment but Austin and Kindly Weddings did. If you're shopping around for a videographer - run - don't walk to the nearest phone and book Austin and his team. I'd even go so far to say that if he's booked on the date you've chosen - pick another day. You want Austin. Nobody else will measure up.
ps....in addition to his mad skills as a videographer, Austin is an all around nice guy. He was polite and kind and knew just how to gently guide us along. He moved in and out of the pre-ceremony festivities with ease and not a second of it was awkward or uncomfortable.
Austin knocked our wedding video OUT OF THE PARK.
There is a certain degree of uncertainty when you hire a photographer/videographer because it can absolutely make or break the e...
vent you intend to experience for years after. Austin captured our day even better than we remember! That is saying a lot! He required no direction and worked in a way that was totally not intrusive. I cannot recommend him enough. Thanks again, Austin!
They did a truly phenomenal job and we couldn't be more thankful. This video meant a lot to us and we will cherish it forever. Our wedding was originally planned to take place in...
the spring, but because of covid, we had to cancel. We decided to elope, and because we live in California and both of our families live on the east coast... we knew we had to capture the essence of our day, in a perfect way, so we could share with all of our loved ones who with all of their hearts wanted to be there but couldn't. Austin and his wife Ash with Kindly Weddings did a truly phenomenal job. They captured it in the most perfect way, and joined us on the entire journey from start to finish, lugged his equipment to all the discreet spots, and ultimately made the magic happen for us! Thank you so much!

o capture. We will cherish it always and be so grateful for that amazing work he did. He’s so professional and makes it known he cares for the work he’s providing. Austin’s experience in the field is evident.
Words can't really say what our wedding film means to the both of us. We knew long before we got married that the one thing that was certain was that we would ask Austin to capture...
it for us, however that looked and wherever it took place. We are wedding film makers and photographers from New Zealand and have admired Austin's work for years and there was no one else we wanted to capture ours.
We knew how talented Austin was before he created our wedding film but what he put together was something else altogether, he captured all of the moments that meant the most to us, all of the in-between moments and he felt like he fit into our day like any one of our loved ones did and left feeling like a friend we'd known for a long time. We would do it all over a hundred times to have the film that we have and the memories we can now look back on through what Austin created.
We couldn't recommend any one more highly. If you're reading this then you're probably thinking of having Kindly capture your big day, we think you should totally do it.

twined it so well into our story. He didn't make a generic wedding video, he captured a beautiful day of memories.
