t get to see. [Pre-wedding] Alan/Jess/team were super easy to work with. They were also very efficient - we only had to schedule a few calls prior to the wedding, but the calls were very comprehensive. [Day of] Alan/team arrived early to familiarize themselves with the setup. They worked seamlessly with our photographers. We barely noticed they were there, but trust me, they caught every little thing. Super professional and easy to work with. [Post-wedding] The most important thing you're buying in a videography package is the highlights video, and this is what separates a pedestrian videographer from a great one. Alan has a gift for storytelling and evoking emotions with music as well as the editing expertise to bring that story to life. The footage he chose REALLY captured the spirit and emotions of the day. The soundbites he picked out were what we probably would've picked out ourselves, which meant he really understood the essence of each speech/toast. That said, Alan doesn't live in our heads and couldn't have anticipated every little detail we wanted in the video. We made some small requests after the first video, and he made those changes within days, no questions asked. This is important - a videographer has to have a distinct point of view/style, but also has to be willing to work with the content that matters most to you. Here's the best part - we got the highlights video FIVE DAYS AFTER THE WEDDING! It was such a wonderful surprise while we were on our honeymoon. I've watched it multiple times a day everyday since getting the first cut! [Recommendation] We would recommend Alan and his team to anyone - this is a no brainer!

nds have said, "I don't really like wedding videos typically but this is the most amazing thing I've ever seen". My mom has cried, probably over 20 times watching it. I have some family in France that thinks I'm apart of a reality show. This team is worth every penny. You always hear that your wedding goes so fast, and it's hard to take it all in, I always thought I would be different - but everyone is right, in a blink of an eye it's all over and you can't possibly see and be apart of everything. Having this video to see aspects of the wedding, like the cocktail hour that we missed, seeing us say our vows to each other, watching our first dance - I can't imagine not having these tangible memories to hold onto. To show our kids, to show extended family that couldn't make it to the wedding. It' s something my husband and I can re-watch and the years pass. Thank you so much Alan Larsen Films, you were probably the most important investment for our Christmas wedding!

k? We can't give these guys enough credit and praise. Alan Larsen Films is not your average videographer -- what they do is a craft, and it's evident when you watch any of their videos. They are definitely worth hiring because they will deliver above and beyond your expectations. #AbsolutelyWorthIt #HireThemAlready #BestVideographersPERIOD NOT JUST WEDDINGS: When we hired Alan Larsen Films, we approached them with an idea to do a Save the Date trailer. They had a drone, equipment, the experience and the skillset. What they delivered was an amazing trailer that left us breathless, and impressed our wedding guests with movie-production quality that got them excited and pumped for our big event. We still get compliments about that video. WORKING WITH ALAN LARSEN FILMS: The ALF team remained professional throughout the entire process and their expertise and polish shined through in their videos. We absolutely LOVE their cinematic approach, skillful editing, and the final end-product was such high-quality work, it turned out better than we could've envisioned. We were speechless and blown away and couldn't be happier. They captured our special moments and retold our wedding day -- all in OUR style. What we got was a movie-quality product that was reminiscent of the love, excitement and fun from our wedding day, without the cheesy clichés of getting married. Alan tells your story in a way that keeps you and your viewers engaged, there's no boring moments and the soundtrack pairs perfectly throughout to keep you captivated. Trust us, you'll want to watch it again and again that you'll start questioning how conceited you are. :) Alan Larsen OVER DELIVERS and NEVER DISAPPOINTS. The entire team is amazing to work with. While we adore Alan Larsen who is the creative and mastermind, we want to give a special shoutout to Lanly (photographer) and especially Drew (coordinator/point man). Drew is extremely responsive, we worked closely with him on the logistics, music, edits, feedback and more. Lanly, you are amazing to work with as well, thanks for directing us and giving us those insider tips on posing! The turnaround time is also VERY impressive. They delivered our wedding photos, highlight video and raw video footage in under one month! CONCLUSION: Alan Larsen Films elevates wedding videos to new heights. If you want something you can look back at forever, something high-quality, professional, and tells your story the way YOU WANT, please hire Alan Larsen Films -- you won't regret it. Alan Larsen Films is one of the best vendors we've ever had the pleasure of working with. They really care about their clients and want to deliver an end-product you are happy with. They're dependable, reliable and true masters of their craft. Weddings go by in a blink of an eye, and to be able to relive one of the best days of our lives is truly priceless. After being blown away with the Save the Date trailer, we had complete trust and faith with Alan Larsen and never had to worry or stress about them. We knew we were in good hands and they would be able to capture the memorable moments of our wedding day, and deliver the best keepsake we could've imagined. -- The Pascuals

eeing our highlight reel, we're so glad that we went with Alan Larsen films specifically. They really captured all of the emotions and happiness we felt throughout the day and made it feel special and unique to us. We loved how well they worked with our photographer during the shoots. They completed our highlight reel 4 days after the wedding. 4 DAYS! We expected it weeks later and were shocked by how great the video was after such a short amount of time. The quality of the video was crystal clear and the sound was AMAZING! There was a bunch of brats on a playground screaming during our ceremony and even a helicopter flew overhead but they were able to edit out all of it and none of it could be heard. If you go with Alan Larsen Films then you won't be disappointed.

Also, being apart of my friend's wedding, I was given a preview of how the video and photography team operated, and they captured her day perfectly. Many of our friends inquired about using the company after they saw her video and photos, which were incredible, and I couldn't wait for ours after! My expectations were high, and yet Alan still exceeded them. I was blown away with our video and cannot tell you how many people both who attended our wedding and who just viewed it on social media have commented on how amazing our wedding looked and was captured. We have been asked numerous times about the company that captured our day. It is such an amazing keepsake and I have watched it a hundred or more times. I can't get enough! I highly recommend using Alan Larsen films for video and photography on your big day; you will not be disappointed!

n Larsen, we decided to go for it. (After all, you spend SO much time, money energy planning, a video is the best way to capture it all and be able to look back and reminisce!) Three days after our wedding, we got an email with our fully edited video back (ONLY THREE DAYS?!?!) I was absolutely shocked by their turnaround time and even more surprised at the quality of the video. I have never cried so much in one day. When I posted our video we started getting texts, calls, etc from our friends and family who were RAVING about how amazing the video was! He perfectly captured our day better than we could have ever imagined. Got all of the important moments, people, the laughing, the crying. EVERYTHING! Even the song he chose for our video is now one of our FAVORITE songs (though we had never heard of it until Alan!) We are so grateful for Alan Larsen Films! Just watch his videos; they speak for themselves!

l together into a perfect 10 minute video that we have watched over and over again. Alan and his very professional team were so easy to work with and really understood artistically what we wanted from the video. His shots were so bright and vivid and he weaved all of the speeches and the ceremony together to capture the real essence of our day--the laughter the tears, everything. If capturing the spirit of your special day matters to you, Alan is your guy. Trust me, he's worth it.

re but never in the way! We saw my sisters video and omg it blew us away!!!!!! My boyfriend at the time, now husband and I told each other we would for sure be using them when we got married. Well two years later here we Are and they blew us away AGAIN. The level of professionalism and class they had the entire day was so refreshing. Again they were everywhere capturing every moment. Alan also took the time to make sure that our video was different than my sisters but still just as amazing, the fact that he even thought about that shows the level or professionalism and work ethic he has. We can't thank the both of them enough for going above and beyond for our wedding. We are so happy with how the video came out!!! Do yourself a favor and hire them!!! It will be one less thing to worry about on your special day :)!!!

way to quickly summarize this experience is professional, personal, engaging and extremely enjoyable. Overall we had a blast working with Alan and his team and would recommend them to any of our friends that place on tying to knot!

rew Wyman was our person of contact throughout the entire process. He was very professional, prompt and thorough. He set us up on video conference prior to our big day to speak with Alan, Katrina and himself to iron out the details. It went smoothly, and I love that everyone was professional, but also very flexible and understanding. We provided little direction with just the note that my husband (fiance, at the time) were very easy-going and flexible people. On our wedding day, Katrina and Lanly arrived on time and did their thing. They were accommodating, friendly and just very easy to work with. What I remember most was how stealth they were throughout the ceremony and reception. What Alan Larsen Films produced was beyond our expectations! We love the highlight video and have watched it over two dozen times! The whole saying, "you get what you pay for" really applies. Pricing may have been out of our budget, but if you're asking professionals to capture your big day, you need to pay more for quality work and ALF definitely delivered. ALF requested our song list and incorporated the songs with the speeches to make our video flow and transition nicely. We look forward to sharing our wedding memories with our future children and grandchildren, a memory that can be relived each time we watch our video. Thank you Alan Larsen Films and your exceptional team!

ce of music and sophisticated editing. There were many candid moments captured and I loved that I wasn't aware I was being filmed. I would definitely recommend Alan Larsen Films for anyone looking for exceptional wedding videography.

e there, but the footage that they captured really brought the essence of our day to life, especially as we saw it in our eyes. Our highlight video is perfect - even my husband is showing it to everyone he meets. They are incredibly professional and easy-going, which is always an amazing quality during the inevitable stress of a wedding day.

hing until he returned home. It was very difficult but well worth the wait. We loved reliving our special day and watched our video over and over again! I highly recommend Alan Larsen Films!

EO?! I JUST DON'T CARE ANYMORE!" I went through good videographers that charge WAY too much money, and bad videographers who still charge way too much money... I went through arrogant videographers who didn't want to speak to me, to forgetful (possibly newer) videographers... And then there was Alan Larsen Films... Alan and his team are AMAZING. Seriously. I didn't even know they were there most of the time, and when they were there, they were hilariously funny and knew exactly what to do to distract me from the camera lens in my face. They were responsive when I emailed them with questions and great at giving gentle reminders when I had 309475938 things on my mind and forgot about something for them. And their videos... they're incredible. OH, AND HE GOT ALL OF OUR VIDEOS BACK TO US 3 WEEKS AFTER THE WEDDING. Frigging incredible. Well worth the money. Trust me. Trust me trust me trust me. Alan Larsen Films was the best choice. I know. I probably watched 400 wedding videos to get to Alan Larsen. They rock. Choose them. You won't regret it.

to enjoy our wedding day. We are used to going to weddings and seeing annoying vidographers but Alan and his crew are absolutely amazing and are the complete opposite. They are like flies on a wall and are so polite and kind. Everyone was telling us that we were going to regret not getting a videographer so we changed our minds last minute and we are so glad we did. Our wedding planner recommended Alan Larsen Films and we booked them a few days before the wedding. Because we were pressed for time we did a quick video chat and Alan and Drew got to know us and what we wanted before the wedding. On the day of the wedding, Alan and Andrew were so accommodating. We had a hotel suite full of girls getting ready and they were completely out of the way and knew what to do and when to do it. They also worked really well with our photographer and followed them closely to get all the footage for the highlight video. They did such a phenomenal job capturing important moments for us and we were so happy to be able to re-live them again. Also really important their work turn around is super fast. We got married in the middle of October and got our highlight video exactly 1 month after and we were able to make changes after seeing our video to get exactly what we wanted. We have already shown the video to a few friends and family and they are just amazed on how beautiful it is and the quality of the work. I am a huge Disney fan and all my friends thought the highlight video had the Disney charm and reminded them of a sweet Disney movie. We are so thankful to have had the chance to work with such great people and we are very happy with how the highlight video turned out. They are truly the best!

erfectly. We almost decided to just get the raw footage, but I am SO glad that we did the highlight too. Alan and Drew were so nice and answered all of my questions promptly and professionally. I couldn't recommend them enough. Absolutely perfect!

wedding day and of us as a couple. We have received so many compliments on our highlight video in particular. We are so glad we chose to work with them and are so grateful that we'll have these memories for years to come!

y to work with, capturing some stunning footage along the way. I highly recommend them!!

e shown it to so many people!

creative angles, and personable crew, I highly recommend Alan Larsen Films!

ked Alan as soon as I booked our venue. Our highlight video is honestly the best wedding gift ever. We had some family members who were unable to attend and being able to show them our full ceremony coverage and fantastic highlight reel was so great. Alan, Drew and the rest of the crew were absolutely professional, creative and exceeded our expectations.

STS. They captured moments so precious and ones we will look back on forever. We are very grateful to the Alan Larsen team for all their hard work and unmeasurable talent. Truly, Alan Larsen Films is without a doubt the most amazing videographers in the business.

any other possible candidates and hire Alan Larsen Films!!

I came across Alan Larsen Films on Yelp and immediately noticed their glowing reviews. I watched a few of their videos, reached out via email, and was able to book them for our big day. A few weeks before our wedding, we had a Skype meeting with him and Leah (their production coordinator), laid out our schedule and bounced around some video ideas as well. It was a great way to meet them face-to-face and to also get a sense of what to expect for our video. On our wedding day, Alan and his second shooter, Andrew, arrived promptly and got to work right away. The day-of can be very chaotic, but they captured our wedding like ninjas! Seriously -- they blended into the background and just worked their magic. We received our highlight video yesterday and we are absolutely blown away. We've watched it over and over and honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better way to capture the best day of our lives. The way he weaves the music with the wedding highlights is truly phenomenal. We are over the moon with our decision to go with Alan and his team. Worth EVERY penny! We can't wait to relive our wedding day through our beautifully crafted video. I highly recommend choosing Alan Larsen Films to capture your wedding day. You will not be disappointed!

, and clear. I requested to make a few adjustments to the highlights and within hours it was completed. I highly recommend Alan Larsen Films. If I could redo this day over again, I would hire him in a heart beat.

captured many wonderful memories and we're grateful that we'll now get to relive all of them through the beautiful film they created. We also received excellent service along the way. Leah, their Production Coordinator, was an absolute pleasure. She answered all of our questions in a timely manner, was extremely nice, thorough, and professional! We have received so many compliments from friends and family about how impressed they are with our video and how it brought them tears of joy. We couldn't have asked for more. We highly recommend ALF! Simply take a look at their work, it speaks volumes! Thanks again, Alan, Katrina, and Leah! You guys are awesome!!! - Jackie & Adam

ogether a beautiful highlight reel that that I can't stop watching. I would hire him again and again and would recommend him to every bride-to-be! He deserves to be best of The Knot.

our wedding day Alan was wonderful. He captured all of our beautiful moments and we're so excited that we'll be able to see these again for years to come. If there is one thing I'd recommend for a wedding, it's a videographer. Our wedding day flew by, and our video allowed us to go back, re-live it and see things we missed on our day. One of the best decisions I made was hiring Alan's services. You won't regret it!

the elegance of the style truly make the difference between a wedding "film" and a "video." They were thorough through the initial contact, professional in the planning phases, and friendly during all the stress of the day. We were so excited to work with them, that we were sad to see them leave at the end of the night. The memories they have given us will bring smiles and tears to our eyes forever and we're grateful for that.

photographer. Alan Larsen specializes in just videography and it is very apparent that they are skilled in this one area and do it very well! They were professional, discrete, artistic, and listened to our vision. Alan spent much time prior to the wedding to discuss all the elements that were important to us while still bringing his artistic eye and skills to the table. He utilized the speeches as a back drop to our main video and told the story in an amazing non-linear order that was just brilliant. Alan Laren and his staff were a great fit for us. Everytime we watch our highlights video, we are transported back to that beautiful day. When a videographer can do that with capturing all the details of the day in the way Alan and his team did, there is no monetary value to that. We want to thank Alan, Leah, and the whole team for all their hardwork. We have a priceless momento of the most magical day of our lives and it's thanks to all of you. Thank you thank you thank you!! I have already recommended them to mutliple friends who asked after seeing our highlights video and will continue to have referrals for them in the future.

for a recommendation and because the videographer and photographer work so closely together, this was key! After looking through the couple of recommendations she gave, it was clear that Alan puts together the perfect blend of an elegant video, beautiful storytelling, and a peek into what a fun day it is. We were not disappointed. We received our highlight and ceremony videos in super speedy time and even though I gave him 15 nitpicky comments on the first draft, he was able to accommodate all of them and send us edits very quickly. The best part is we also get to have the ceremony edit and raw footage to watch whenever we want. Alan and his second videographer Katrina were a pleasure to work with on the day. His assistant Leah was very helpful as we hired them, worked through the details and through delivery. All in all, we loved working with this team! Everyone we sent the wedding highlight video to said it was the best wedding video they have ever seen.

we can enjoy for years to come. Leah, Alan's assistant, helped to plan and organize the process step by step, putting us at complete ease throughout the wedding. The cinematographers, Katrina and Andrew caught every magic moment, and Alan who lead this team made a work of art out of our very special day. The moment someone says they plan on having a wedding and NOT utilizing a videographer is the moment I sit them down and show them our wedding video. Photos are great, but these guys are here to capture the life of your wedding, so you can hold onto that moment forever, and pass it on to your children. Imagine that: years from now your kids can witness your marriage on the big screen!

then fiance, they were very down to earth and made us feel very comfortable. Alan is a very chill guy who definitely knows his stuff. We hired them and were excited for the wedding day. On our wedding day, Alan and his assistant (I forget her name but she was so sweet!) arrived on time and began work right away. While I was getting my hair and makeup done, Alan even shoo-ed away solicitors who came into my room! He wasn't just there to film the day, he was there to make sure the bride (me) was taken care of too. Definitely a nice feeling when you know your videographer has your back!! Once the wedding was over, Leah stayed in contact with us giving up updates about our ceremony video and highlight video. We got the ceremony video first, then about a week later got our highlight video. Later on we got all the raw footage in the mail on the external hard drive we provided. The videos were absolutely amazing - everyone we showed it too said how awesome they were. Alan has a great eye and knows how to perfectly capture moments on camera. I highly recommend Alan Larsen films for your wedding day! The only con I have to mention is that my then fiance and I had to meet Alan and Leah at Alan's home/office in the Hollywood area. It was quite a drive for us (we live in Westchester), and would have preferred to have met at our venue or somewhere in the middle to make it more convenient for us. But he more than made up for that with the videos he created.

videos that they had done for other weddings, I decided that I loved Alan Larsen Films. They were one of the best decisions that I made for my wedding day. They captured so many beautiful memories that I wasn't even able to see firsthand and also memories that I could re-watch over and over again. They never got in the way and went around the entire wedding almost unnoticed, but when I watch back all of my wedding footage it is amazing how many amazing moments and memories they were able to capture. I would highly recommend using Alan Larsen Films for any upcoming event that you have. You definitely will not be disappointed!

ing original that is specific to the couple. Alan Larsen himself is not just great but his entire team is. Katrina and Leah were just as fantastic to work with. We truly appreciate him and all their hard-work. Thank You Alan Larsen Films!

etail. Although we live in LA, our wedding was a destination wedding in Maine, and Alan and Katrina traveled from LA to Kennebunkport Maine to capture our wedding. The B-Roll was to die for. It truly captured the essence of the small, nautical town that we were married in. They put together the most jaw-dropping highlight real, and ceremony coverage. Better yet, we got to keep all their raw footage, so we can watch it in years to come, all the speeches, toasts, special moments, moments we may have missed, etc. Alan and his team have provided us with something we will treasure for so many years to come. Hiring them was without a doubt the best decision we made in our wedding.

night for about 2 months reviewing cinematographers in and out of our state. I had come across Alan’s work and was SHOCKED when a video of complete strangers had me in tears within minutes. His ability to capture a love story in such a brilliant, artistic, and creative way put an end to our crazy internet search and solidified that he was the ONE we wanted to share our special day with. Out of all the vendors we worked with, we are most impressed with his team’s responsiveness and attention to detail. Leah C., his coordinator, was easy to access via phone/text/e-mail, and she quickly answered our questions and concerns during the process. She made the experience EASY, a big bonus for brides :) About 6 weeks to my wedding date, I had an opportunity to sit down with Alan, and it was incredible how comfortable he made me feel. He was beyond helpful and provided me with recommendations on lighting, ceremony positioning and much more. On the day of our wedding, Alan and his assistant Chelsea felt like a part of the family. They were so fun, kind, and respectful—all qualities we love! If the wedding film wasn’t our #1 need, we would have pulled a chair and table for them to join us as our guests. They are wonderful people to have around you on your big day. A little more about the talented Alan Larsen—he exceeded our expectations during and after our wedding day. He stepped in when our wedding coordinator went missing, and he helped organize our guests for our bubble send off. We received our film while on our honeymoon, and we were blown away by the quality and detail that he put into it. We received so many messages and phone calls from vendors, families, and friends raving about how beautifully done the video was. I could go on and on listing off all the reasons why you should hire Alan Larsen for your big day, but the product speaks for itself. You need to check out his website and enjoy all of his amazing films; I am confident that you will be impressed. If you’re on the fence about getting a cinematographer, I recommend that you go for it. It’s one of the only things at your wedding that you will be able to cherish forever. The favors will go, the flowers will wilt, the dress will likely sit in a box in your closet, but Alan Larsen’s wedding film will allow you to relive one of the best days of your life over and over again. I highly recommend that you look no further and book him today!

have it. It turned out better than I ever imagined and Alan was so kind and thoughtful, easy to work with and Leah his coordinator is a gem. I can't say enough kind words about not only their professionalism but what a wonderful gift it is to have memories preserved in such a tasteful way. I know it will be a treasure we look at annually. Thanks Alan & Leah!

s is unlike any other vendor we researched and we feel that they are truly the best at capturing each wedding and it= unique beauty. Leah was wonderful to work with. I spoke with her on the phone a couple of times, corresponded via email and met with her and Alan in person. Each time she was kind and willing to answer any question I had. She was so easy to work with and made me feel like I was her friend through the process. She is quick to get back to you and gives you exactly what you need. On the day of the wedding Alan and Katrina were THE BEST. They arrived early and stayed till the very end. They are flexible and kept us both at ease while getting ready for the day. They will laugh with you and they really want to capture YOUR day and want to give a sincere portrayal of it. They are so easy going and work with great enthusiasm. They allow you to be authentic and I was so comfortable having them with me on one of the most important days of my life. On our honeymoon my husband and I were talking about how we want to hang out with Alan and his team because they were just awesome people. We got our ceremony video while on our honeymoon. (Less then 2 weeks after our wedding!!!) We feel that the team captured it perfectly, better then we could have even imagined!! We absolutely cannot wait to see our highlight video! If you have Alan Larsen Films capture your day, you will not be disappointed! They will exceed your expectations, again we cannot recommend them enough!

rything we could have asked for. From our first meeting with them to the wedding day they were professional, fun and ended up feeling like friends at our wedding. We loved having them capture our beach barbecue with our close family and friends on Friday night, as well as the whole wedding day on Sunday. We got an email from Leah during our honeymoon and immediately stopped what we were doing to watch it. I cried the first time I saw it as I remembered the memories of the day, and even the details I missed. We've watched it countless times, every day since then. We love showing it to our family and friends, especially those who weren't able to make it. This video is something we'll have forever, and we're so thankful to Alan and Leah for helping make that happen!

tyle Me Pretty and saw a beautiful wedding and decided to watch the attached video by Alan Larsen Films. I didn't know this couple at all but by the end of it I was in tears and I remembered feeling genuine happiness for them. Alan has a great eye for capturing seemingly minor and potentially forgetful moments in time and forever immortalizing its beauty on film. He composes moments together into an intimate narrative that inevitably draws viewers in and welcomes you into the story. This is what I wanted for my wedding and I didn't have to look any further. Alan and his team were a pleasure to work with. Everyone was very professional, easy to talk to and (thank goodness) had a good sense of humor. Questions were always answered promptly via phone, emails and/or texts and yes, from prior reviews I definitely agree with the fact that Alan and his team has EXCELLENT audio which I think does make a difference. I may be rightfully biased but I thought our wedding video was stunning. One of my favorite parts was how Alan interweaved my father's heartfelt toast to our expressions as my father walked me down the aisle. My father was a navy refugee who came to America after Saigon fell and worked hard to provide for my younger brother and me as a single parent. Needless to say, my wedding day was a very special and proud day for my father. Alan (who didn't know any of this background history) was able to not only capture these moments beautifully but integrated it in such a way that exponentially conveyed how emotional and momentous this occasion was thereby augmenting our wedding love story. I'm sure there are many videographers out there who can film weddings and make things look pretty but I think Alan is more of an artist who can tell a story that allows people, even strangers, to connect on a deeper level. Highly recommended. :)

te pricey for their quality of work. When we first saw Alan’s samples, thanks to the referral by Yelp, we were blown away! He clearly stood out from the rest and displayed creative talent. All of the key parts of the wedding were covered and the Highlight film presented the event as a wonderful story. Alan was also the only one who added effects like alternating multiple frames that included different portions of the day, slow motion, and fast forwarding while the primary focal points stayed still. If only I knew the video jargon to describe them better. The editing was fantastic! There were times that we could not even tell that portions of the speeches were woven together. We chose Option 3, which included our amazing Highlight film, a well-edited Ceremony film, and raw footage of the wedding. It was perfect for us since he was there for the entire day. Some vendors do not even offer enough time to cover the entire day with their base rate and then will start charging you premium dollars once you go over. And some would not even give you the raw footage, in case you “misused” their work with their good name attached. You would think that when you pay them for capturing the day on video…all of the video would be given to you after the wedding. Alan was nothing like those other vendors and we are very lucky to have made the right choice by going with him. Before he delivered the final product, Alan worked with us and implemented our comments to get the coverage of the people we wanted to see most. We were also able to offer some of our favorite songs for him to use for the video. Alan was one of the quickest to respond to our questions and concerns, unlike many other vendors. When planning a wedding, communication is sooo important. You do not want to be left hanging while the days are counting down and the stress is building up. We truly appreciated his professionalism and for how comfortable he made us feel during the wedding! Bottom line: We highly recommend Alan Larsen to be your videographer! He gave us a gift that will memorialize the biggest day of our lives!

us a flawless video to cherish forever. Alan and his team are SO friendly & easy to work with, very efficient and provide the BEST service possible! We are so in awe of the beauty they captured in the film. Every sunrise and sunset captured, among every other moment, was truly remarkable. Every time I view our video I am brought right back to those wonderful memories. Alan and his team put so much love into their films and we are blessed to have had them their on our wedding day! Thank you SO much Alan!!! We are forever grateful =))) God Bless!

tarted looking into videographers we found via wedding blogs and bridal shows. But we were underwhelmed by their videos. Considering that we live in Southern California, movie capital of the world, you’d think there would be more high-end wedding videographers available. There are lots of good shooters out there, but surprisingly the end result was a mediocre-looking, disjointed video that sounded awful. It turns out audio accounts for about 50% of your viewing enjoyment and nothing ruins a stroll down memory lane like crappy audio. So we started asking ourselves why we should pay money for a crappy video when we could get an only slightly worse end product by asking a friend to just hold a camera during the ceremony. Then we found Alan and hiring him was the best decision ever. Not only did he shoot great video and capture all the important moments from our wedding, but he really cared about making our video sound great. The finished product is amazing. It looks and sounds awesome and it beautifully tells the story of our day. On top of that, Alan is professional, punctual, and easy going. If you’re on the fence about hiring a videographer for your wedding, you won’t be after watching one of the videos on Alan’s website. The quality of his work is truly leagues beyond other wedding videographers and his priced are competitive. We absolutely love our wedding videos and our families do too.

d and spirit of joy that characterized the wedding. The highlights, the music and the toasts came together to give our daughter and her husband (and the rest of us) the opportunity to relive those hours with authenticity and joy. The turn around time was unbelievably fast (admittedly, it was a winter wedding - but it was also during the holiday season). This is an investment worth making. Of all the costs associated with a wedding, this is certainly one of the few that returns a high yield. We highly and without reservation recommend Alan Larsen for your event.

so we ended up talking over the phone). We booked him for two days in a row (we had a Christian wedding and a Hindu wedding). You spend all day with your photographer and videographer, you should pick someone you don't mind hanging out with all day! Alan and his team were a lot of fun to be around all day. Our photographer for the Hindu wedding enjoyed working with him and his team as well. Just take a look at his website videos and you will definitely not be disappointed! His prices were very reasonable to for the quality of work he provided. Another great thing was that the team was there from the start to the end of the weddings and we had four locations for the first day and four locations for the second day. I can't say enough great things about Alan and his team; I definitely will be booking them in the future for our vow renewal!

e end product is superb. His team is super nice, very easy going and extremely pleasant to work with -- they seemed to really have a good time working with our family, guests and wedding photographers. I mention "no drama" in the title of the review, because this was one of the smoothest, non-stressful aspects of our wedding planning and would highly recommend them!

eo. The detail and quality of the video were unlike any we had seen in other vendors. Alan is an awesome guy and fun to work with. I would recommend Alan to future brides!

dding blogs...I knew HE was the one right away. I had looked at over 20 videographers and their wedding films. But his film was the ONLY one that made me cry. I didn't even know the couple I was watching. His quality of filming was incredible and clean as well. It is not too whimsical, earthy, or bohemian.. It's just clean and classy. Its the scariest part selecting a videographer..knowing that your BIG day will never repeat itself. So do your research...know what you want...and ask for it. Alan is open minded...ready to listen to your concerns and wants..as well as inputing his suggestions to make your day a wonderful & memorable day. He was punctual ..followed us through al the night's events..and worked hard to capture everything.

end them- can't say enough good things about them!!!! Don't think twice- they are that good!!!!

sample videos were so well produced and we could only hope that ours could be half as good. We just got our video back and it is a masterpiece. We were amazed about how he really captured the feeling of the day. The video is incredibly moving, and its large in part from his teams ability to capture artistic shots and weave them together with suberb editing. He is also a pleasure to work with. He is very responsive, friendly and easy going. If you looking for a wedding videographer/film maker, I highly recommend Alan. This is an investment that you do not want to skimp on. His work is worth every penny and more and you will not regret it!

the day Alan and his team were on time, organized, knew exactly what they wanted to film and made it happen without us knowing they were there - looking at some of the footage I am amazed how they captured it so beautifully without being intrusive. A definite must-hire if you looking for the best out there! To Alan: A huge thanks for capturing all those moments we might not have notice on the day but that we will treasure forever!

me to meet. Alan was great,very professional, and answered all of our questions and then some. During the wedding Alan and his team blended right in, in fact we didn't even notice he was there half the time. It was kinda of scary after we thought about it but have have no fear! Alan and his team are there capturing every moment! In retrospect, there is so much going on that day, it was really great not to have to worry about him and his team. After the wedding we were excited to see the video and Alan did not disappoint! We cannot stop watching our video and we cannot wait to show it to our family and friends. Alan has an amazing eye and his story telling is a true work of art. The way he weaved our story together and incorporated the songs and speeches is simply amazing and we could not be happier. He is a true gem and we would recommend him to any couple tying the knot! And believe me when I say...After it's all said and done, when you look back, you will not regret having one of the best story teller's on your team on your big day! Cheers!

od at capturing all the great moments, and then putting them together to create this fairy-tale like story... not just amazing cameramen, but amazing storytellers. Throughout the process, they were very friendly, professional, patient, and at times hilarious (great sense of humor!). Such a pleasure to work with! For our video, Alan went above and beyond what we expected. Both our ceremony and reception were in English and Japanese, so Alan worked with my wife and I, invited us to a special post-wedding "director's editing session" to carefully edit the little details and cultural nuances, and gave us a chance to see the pro at work. They say pictures are worth a thousand words. Well, I think these guys make movies that are worth a million bucks! Thanks to Alan Larsen Films, we have a wedding video to cherish for a lifetime.

s videos because they are very cinematic and he really understands how to tell the story of the wedding day and does so in such a unique way. His videos make me cry every time! And he exceeded our expectations on our wedding day. He was so easy to work with and incredibly accommodating. Alan and his second shooter were early to set up at the beginning of the day and stayed until the end of our reception. But most importantly - Alan's turnaround time was exceptional. Within days of our wedding he sent us the edited video of our ceremony. It was so amazing to see the video SO soon after out wedding. And within 3 weeks of our wedding he delivered our highlight video! And it was stunning. The production value, music, editing, and storytelling was exactly what we hoped for from the moment I began researching videographers. We have had so many compliments from friends and family and I am beyond thrilled with the final result. I also have all the footage from the day (and our rehearsal dinner) and Alan captured EVERY amazing moment. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Do yourself and favor and hire Alan - it will be one of the best decisions you make during your wedding planning journey!

lity that we just didn't see from other videographers. (Another area where Alan's films really stand out is the music. Even though you pick the songs, it's his vision that makes your meaningful songs add so much to the film.) For his beautiful work, Alan charges a pretty penny for the best packages, but it’s a fair price—and it’s worth it. We had a fairly modest budget, so we made a commitment that the majority should go towards things that will really matter in the long run. We decided it was absolutely worth it to pay for Alan to film our wedding. A wedding video is special because you will have it forever and can watch and re-watch it on every anniversary, one day with your kids, and many times in between. You'll watch your wedding video and see a moment you missed in the chaos of the day, or see a tender moment with a loved one who might no longer be here with you, and you'll cherish it. Alan is also a consummate professional. Leading up to the wedding, he was extremely easy to work with, and very responsive. And on the day of, he was always a step ahead, and where he needed to be. He does an amazing job of getting the shots he needs during those big moments, and he's never in the way. Since he uses small cameras, he's not distracting for the guests. We really recommend splurging for one of the packages with a longer wedding highlight film! Those extra minutes make a huge difference, and the added expense is absolutely worth it. The better packages also include a second cinematographer, which will get you more material and easier logistics. (Our second cinematographer, Nick, was also a pleasure to work with.) The shorter films are still great, but the longer format really gives him the opportunity to do what he does best: scour hours of video and hundreds of clips and assemble a seamless film that tells the story of the couple and everything that happened that day. We absolutely love our wedding video, and highly recommend Alan Larsen Films!

't be happier with the outcome. If you're still debating whether to hire a videographer for your wedding, book Alan's serviec and you will not regret it!

s. Alan is extremely gifted in what he does. He is also very pleasant to work with. He is kind, patient, fun, honest, and creative. He made our day stress free and memorable. We wanted a videographer who can tell our entire story within minutes by capturing all the emotions and details that went into our wedding. He went above and beyond to create a master piece that we can cherish for a lifetime. He had great equipments to captured all the sounds clearly, was prompt & ready, had great lighting, was reasonable with the pricing, his style is unique, and we felt so comfortable to share intimate moments because the cameras were behind the scene. He helped me do the voice over, answered all of my 100+ questions, and gave our videos (including raw footages) within a month! On our wedding day, it showered a little, but he and his crew worked very hard to make us feel comfortable and capture everything that went on. He was one of our top favorite vendors to work with. We feel extremely blessed that Alan did our wedding. There is no one like Alan out there. I researched over 36 videographers (day and night) and was not happy until I met Alan! I wouldn’t waste time going anywhere else. His prices are reasonable and truly wroth every penny we spent on him. Thank you so much Alan, we love you!

nt parts of getting ready, first look, offsite photo/video session for bridal party, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. The final videos are magical and will help us relive our wedding over and over again! Beyond the high quality of footage taken, Alan is extremely fast with editing and turnaround time. We received the Ceremony Edit exactly 2 days after our wedding! In addition, our 15-minute Wedding Film edit was complete 4 weeks after the wedding and the 4-minute Wedding Highlights edit was complete 6 weeks after the wedding. Overall, we received a harddrive of all final edited videos and raw footage from Alan and were able to share with our family and friends within 8 weeks after our wedding. Besides the exceptional turnaround time, Alan is extremely patient and accommodating during the editing process. We had a lot of back-and-forth communication with him on edits and scene additions/deletions. That patience and willingness to cater the video exactly to our specifications speak volumes about Alan's excellent customer service and commitment to 100% satisfaction. We are completely satisfied with our wedding videos and would strongly recommend Alan Larsen and team!

eafter he gave us a highlight video of the entire wedding that is so artfully and masterfully crafted we were all amazed. It covers the bridal party getting ready, the venue, the ceremony, the toasts, the reception all woven so creatively and not just in order of how it unfolded. There is no question Alan and his crew are consummate professionals who have superior talent and also are so pleasant to work with and unobtrusive throughout the process. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone looking to have their special day captured to enjoy for years to come to hire Alan!!!

Alan, we told him we wanted someone to capture the joy of our big day without us feeling like someone was taping us, and that is exactly what he did. We didn't even realize he was there but somehow managed to get fantastic footage of all the big and little moments. We chose to have a ceremony and highlight video and both turned out absolutely perfect. Alan was incredibly helpful and kind and gave us song suggestions for the films that worked perfect to capture the feeling of our day. He got our videos to us even quicker the I thought possible. He was wonderful to work with and we couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend him for wedding videography. I cant stop watching our video! It brings me to tears every time. Thank you for everything!!

ghlight video two weeks before our wedding date and when we received the final six minute video two weeks later, we were obsessed to say the least. It was truly amazing how he captured our entire wedding day in just six minutes. My husband and I have watched the highlight over thirty times since receiving it. We are in love and our friends and family agree. We are ever so grateful to Alan and his staff for helping us make a wonderful lasting memento of our wedding day.

ever. And he compiles them perfectly to make the most romantic personal movie for us to have forever. He creates a story inside the wedding itself (something I did not see in other vendors as well). His sense of humor mixed with professionalism is remarkable. He was part of the family! And it was amazing how we never even saw a camera the entire evening! He captured every moment without dominating it with a camera
