My husband and I went back and forth throughout wedding planning on if we wanted to hire a videographer or not. Neither of us likes to be in front of the camera, so we were worried we'd look super awkward on video. About 2 months before our wedding, we decided we needed to hire a videographer and by some miracle found Amy (via WeddingWire) and she was available! From our first meeting, we immediately felt comfortable with Amy and knew she'd be great to work with for our wedding. On the day of the wedding, Amy was ahead of schedule, able to offer a helping hand, and absolutely amazing at blending in!
One of my favorite parts of working with Amy is that we got our highlight video less than 2 weeks after our big day... and it is AMAZING! Amy made us feel super comfortable (so we don't look awkward like we were worried about) and was so easy to work with. The video is the absolute perfect way to relive our wedding day while waiting for the professional photos to be delivered and I'm sure we'll continue watching it even after the photos are here :)
Amy was even there for the wedding rehearsal! She was so much fun to be around and worked out all the details with the photographer & both together can capture the priceless moments. We can not wait to see the final production. She and her assistant were so professional. She kept us up to date on the shooting events and schedule and even asked if we wanted other things included that came up. That is why she can be counted on. You could see how much pride she has in her work and wants only the best video ever and nothing less!
Amazing job! Great quality. Would highly recommend
Amy clearly has talent, which is why we chose her in the first place. But unfortunately things did not work out.
We booked more than a year before our wedding day. The day before our wedding, Amy had to cancel on us. She offered to find a replacement videographer to shoot our wedding day. Luckily, she found a replacement (Rob from Something New Media). The agreement we made was that the new videographer would shoot the wedding but Amy would still edit the video.
About a month after the wedding, I had not heard anything from Amy, so I emailed her to see when we could expect our video. A few days later, Amy responded that she would not be able to edit our video. She sent me the USB of raw footage and refunded us some of our money.
Because we never actually worked with Amy, I cannot recommend Amy at Kismet Video Productions. I don’t have any professional experience with her in terms of shooting our wedding or editing our footage. The only experience I have is through initial communication, signing a contract, and dealing with a cancellation.
In the end, we are having to pay more than we originally planned for a replacement, and we had to deal with some unfortunate communication from Amy after she was not happy with the initial review I left.
Amy is a joy! She came to our rehearsal and gave us really helpful tips for the day! She was on time for the day-of and gave GREAT direction! She was always kind and super professional. Her work is incredible we got a long video and highlight reel and I'm in love with both! I'm so happy we were able to work together and that I have this priceless keepsake forever!!!! I would highly recommend her to everyone!!! Invest in this service, you only get married once 😉!
I can't even begin to tell you how much we absolutely LOVED Amy! She is 100% awesome! I received a recommendation from my photographer to see her about the videography, and I can tell you that I was blown away the first time I met her! My parents and I sat down with her to chat about options and packages and we ended up talking for almost 2 hours! She is so sweet and I love that she wants to know the couple personally while still keeping a professional demeanor! We purchased the Silver package with her and she kept in touch all the way up to the wedding with updates or asking questions. I invited my vendors to the rehearsal so they could see what we were doing. Amy showed up and asked several questions so she could get the video just right! Even our pastor was amazed at the fact that she came in and was there, wanting to know the info. The next day, she came in and shot the video from us arriving at the church to the end of the night at the reception. It could not have gone any better (we had ZERO hiccups at our wedding) and she caught the best moments and now we have them for a lifetime to remember. I was absolutely blown away by the editing that she did and how she put together the video. She gave us a "proof" to review to see if we wanted any changes whatsoever (there were maybe 2?) and I had the final copies only two days later! It seemed like our wedding day was a blur, but now I can go back and watch every moment and cherish the day that was absolutely perfect. Thank you, Amy, for all that you did for us! We love our video!
I would 10000% recommend Amy with Kismet Video Productions! She is super easy to get a hold of and work with all together. She’s a super nice person with a huge personality & made sure that our experience together was perfect. Amy is really such a talented and creative videographer. I was hesitant to even booking a videographer just because I didn’t know if it was worth the money, but every penny spent on this video service was worth it. She captured every part of our big day that we missed with being busy all day. If you are hesitant and looking around for a videographer, I would 100% recommend you book with Amy. She is honestly the best, no one else compares. Thank you Amy for everything!!!
We were so pleased that we chose Kismet Video Productions for our videographer for our wedding. Amy is genuinely a nice person, and it was apparent from the first meeting that she cares deeply about her profession. She was prompt and attentive during our wedding ceremony and reception...but, perhaps the best part was, we received a text from her about 10 days after our wedding telling us that the proof of our video was complete! She sent it promptly, and it was so exciting to be able to re-live our wedding ceremony and reception so soon after the actual day. She offers revisions to the wedding video, but we loved our so much and it was perfect just the way it was!
We were on the fence about getting a videographer for our wedding, but numerous friends of ours said the one regret they had about their wedding was not having a video of their special day. We are so happy that this is something we have to remember one of the best days of our life! It is so special to be able to watch a live version of the day, and there are a lot of things we got to re-live or even see for the first time. Yo u will not regret hiring Amy (Kismet Video Productions) for your wedding!
Amy was great to work with! We decided quite a bit later than booking our other vendors that we wanted a videographer and I was worried about finding someone good so much later. Amy was super responsive and flexible in talking through what we wanted and she was great at the wedding. There was some specific stuff we wanted video of and she was great at communicating when there wasn't time. However, she ended up finding time later in the night and was great at telling us what might be the best use of her time and the most valuable footage to us. Outside of those moments, I barely noticed she was there as she was busy doing her work unobtrusively. She is super fast with her work and we got our highlight video less than two weeks later. I LOVE the highlight video. I have watched it 100 times already. It is beautiful and captured our day so well. We also recently got our full video and it was exactly what we wanted. Amy is great to work with and a great value for the price. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a videographer, especially someone looking for good quality but has a limited budget.
We loved Kismet Video Prouctions! Our wedding was last month and we are beyond happy with our highlight video and feature film video. I can’t believe I ever thought twice about hiring a videographer... it’s definitely worth it! Amy responds via email/text/call very quickly and she truly wants to do an amazing job. I personally was so impressed how much she cared about her work. Not only did she create two awesome videos for us, but she also had our highlight video to share on social media ready ASAP—I think it was 10 days after our wedding! I would highly recommend Amy and Kismet Video Productions. Thank you for doing an amazing job :)
Amy is amazing! She has a creative, unique eye and she is on top of everything from the details to the big picture! Gorgeous video!
If there was a 10 star rating to review their work, I’d post that! She captured the most raw, heartfelt moments. As well as, all our real and what represents us. I will forever be thankful to her. I cry and laugh every single time we watch it! Thank you for everything! If you pick Kismet, I promise you won’t be disappointed!
We used Amy from Kismet Video Productions for our wedding this past August. We decided only two months before the wedding that we wanted a videographer and were lucky to book with Amy since she had a cancellation. From our initial inquiries, she was very prompt to respond via email and text message. After our first meeting, it was clear Amy was experienced and understood all of the nuances that come with shooting a wedding! She offered to come to our rehearsal, and provided valuable feedback and tips for getting through the ceremony smoothly. On the day of the wedding she arrived early and was able to set up her equipment unobtrusively in the back of the venue, while still being able to capture every moment of the ceremony. Amy stayed for the entirety of reception capturing all of the dancing to the very last song, and even captured footage of our bowling cocktail hour, which she normally doesn’t film. Post event, her production timing was very fast. We had a proof of the video within seven days and the final cut within two weeks. The quality of the video was excellent and we couldn’t be happier with the way the video turned out!
Look no further! HIGHLY recommend booking with Kismet Video! Amy is the BEST! From prewedding planning to rehearsal to the big day to afterwards, she is with you every step of the way. She is very organized with providing all the information she needs for the big day and made great recommendations. What makes her truly stand out, she traveled all the way to your rehearsal. We were floored she did this for us. This showed us she cared for us as a couple and was ready to capture the day. She made the big day so much fun and is very enthusiastic! Her professionalism and friendliness were outstanding. Amy has a very quick turn around with her videos. She is very accommodating, very caring and compassionate with her work. You feel like you’ve known her your whole life. She is someone you want on your team for your wedding day. Amy goes above and beyond for her clients and her work was outstanding. She truly captured the love of our day and her videos feel as though you’re reliving the day. I will without a doubt recommend Kismet Video to every bride!
Let me just start off by saying that Amy is AMAZING!! She was recently our videographer at our wedding! She has such an amazing personality, making her so easy to work with!
I had originally met her at a bridal expo at the Rialto in January of this year. After much debate if we wanted a videographer or not due to budgeting, I decided to give Amy a call. I left her a message and she promptly returned my call. We set up a meeting time and things only went up from there! She was early - (being late is the biggest turn off for me) so that was my first clue that she was going to be great! We got to talking about our wedding and what we wanted. My dad is currently suffering my ALS and Amy immediately responded by doing whatever she could to make sure that we were able to fit her into our budget. She offers a ton of great add ons to her videos including adding your engagement video (if you are lucky enough to have captured it), photo montages, guest interviews, highlight montages, the list goes on and on!!
One of the things that Amy did for me that REALLY sticks out, is being that my dad is sick he has a very hard time talking and it needs to be almost silent in order to hear him. well if youve ever been to a wedding you know that isnt going to happen. So she offered to come to my parents house a few weeks before the wedding to interview my dad for our video. I cant even thank her enough for doing that for us, without that interview our video would not have been complete.
We recently received the proof of our wedding video and it was incredible. She captured practically every moment of the night! (even of me falling on my butt!)
I would absolutely recommend Amy as your wedding videograpgher =)
Amy did a wonderful job capturing our wedding day! She was our favorite vendor we hired! She was super professional, and we had so much fun working with her! She even seemed to have a blast at our wedding! Amy is very personable and reasonably priced! Amy is very organized and very prepared for your wedding day! She attends the rehearsal to make sure she knows the venue and where she will be able to capture everything! She is very responsive to emails and phone calls and really wants to create the perfect video for you to make sure you are completely satisfied! We definitely recommend her to work with at your wedding! You will not regret it! We are so thankful for Amy and her work; We LOVE our video and are so happy we are able to relive our special day whenever we want!
I first met Amy it was at the Rialto Square theatre wedding expo. I got her information and she was very friendly and outgoing. I met with her a few months later to discuss using her as my videographer. She was was very informative, offered great insight and advice. I immediately connected with her. She seemed to mesh wonderfully with my personality and her professionalism made everything feel like the perfect fit. She came to my wedding rehearsal and was beyond helpful. She helped the wedding party know what to do and put them at great ease. Then came the big day and she was just wonderful. Everybody loved her, thought she was so nice and was a joy to be around. She never made us feel like she was just sticking a camera in our face. She captured the moments and made us feel very comfortable. A few weeks after the wedding we got our proof and it was AMAZING! We were very pleased at how everything looked and how it was put together just perfectly. I gave her the go ahead and she produced our final copies a few weeks after that. It was just what I had hoped my wedding video would be and then some. The video looked very high quality and she captured all our important moments throughout our special day. The dvd cover and credits looked awesome too. Amy just does an amazing job and she is very easy to work with. She is very passionate about her job and is very good at what she does. Lastly she is just a really sweet, down to earth, and wonderful person. That shines through into her work. Look no further you have found the best so book her now!! Thank you, Amy!! Jason and I are very very very pleased!!
Amy has been so wonderful to work with! She is simply the best!! She came to the rehearsal to make sure she knew how the ceremony was going to play out which was awesome! The whole day, she was amazing in making sure to capture every special moment!! There's so much that goes on, on the BIG day, that you don't remember everything that happens so it's great that we get to relive those moments over and over again. Amy was so good at making sure we were completely satisfied with the video and I loved it and said she could make any changes if nessesary! She even threw in an extra disc because the video took longer than expected which we really appreciated! We were so surprised on how the case and cover looked of the blu-rays! They look amazing!! And the highlight montage, we're obsessed with it!!!! Makes me cry every time! We wish we would of made it longer. Didn't want it to end!! We are so happy that we found Amy for our wedding! We wouldn't of wanted to hire anyone else!! Can't thank you enough Amy! 🙂
I met Amy at a bridal expo and hadn't even put any thought into having a videographer. After watching her videos online and comparing to other vendors I was thoroughly impressed with her work! Booking her as our videographer was the single best decision I made as a bride-to-be and our wedding video turned out absolutely amazing! Our entire family loves reliving the tears and laughs from our special day. I would HIGHLY recommend Amy to any couple. She was very easy to work with and most of our guests (our bridal party included!) said they didn't even realize we had a videographer there... She wasn't in anyone's faces but somehow still captured every important second of our wedding and reception!
Amy was professional and prompt from the first meeting and I felt like I'd known her forever! She did an excellent job and everyone felt comfortable around the camera. I got my highlight video back before I returned from my honeymoon. It was a positive experience and I would recommend Amy highly. As a matter of fact I did recommend her to my neice and 2 co-workers already. Thanks Amy
Amy was amazing!! Our video turned out perfect. Will definitely be recommending her to EVERYONE ☺
We had Amy do our wedding and we could not be happier with our decision. She was so much fun to work with, responsive, and her work is amazing! She did such a good job at capturing all of our perfect moments throughout the day. So much talent! Worth every penny!!
Wow- what else can I say. Amy @ Kismet is amazing!!!! She is beyond what a service provider entails... front the 1st time we meet- she makes u feel like a friend. And I truly believe we still are! She is open to hearing all about how you envision your special day and makes that all come true. We did a Love Story Video with her as well as our Wedding day package. She is unbelievable at what she does and to see it all come together in her work is incredible. Each time we watch our video I cry!! She made our memories so special. We love her!!!

There's no possible way I can say enough about Amy in a review! We would have been lost without her to say the very least! Look no further for your choice of videographer; because she is way more than that! She basically coordinated our rehearsal & thank goodness because our officiant was sort of clueless...Amy is very professional yet so personable! And, she is more than punctual (she was extremely early every time we met with her & for the day of our wedding). She is SO awesome to work with and was very flexible/understanding with everything we envisioned for our video. And, if you're worried about quality you can put your doubts aside. Our video exceeded our expectations beyond anything we ever could've imagined! We are forever grateful to have had the pleasure of having her as our videographer! Definitely our favorite vendor after all was said and done! Would recommend her to everyone and anyone having a wedding or any other type of event requiring video! Just love her!
