Lovebug Media

Alan and his crew were AMAZING! Admittedly, my husband and I weren't really sure if we wanted a videographer, but our photographer recommended Alan and we decided to just go for it. We are so happy we did! Alan and his crew captured every special moment of our wedding day and put together a 10 minute highlight clip that made up laugh and cry every time we watched it. I am so grateful for everything Lovebug Media did for us and cannot recommend them enough.

My wife and I booked this company back before quarantine and were lucky enough to keep them and their flexible crew for our new wedding date. I was an editor and project manager for another wedding company for years, and have grown up in the wedding industry, so not only is this coming from a place of a satisified customer but a professional speaking about other professionals: Lovebug is incredible. Their open communication, their on-site demeanor, the level of coverage they get on the day of, the preparation and coordination with our other vendors leading up and on the day of the wedding, and how they were supportive and professional with our guests and bridal party during the whole event - and this is all before getting to their editing. The video just transports us back to the day of, which is EXACTLY what you want from a wedding video. The style of video cutting combined with excellent shot choice and musical choice is top-notch. Not only that, the speed in which they returned a draft and then further responded to our notes (of which we had a small amount, the first draft was just that good) was incredible. I already have been to my friends getting married this and next year, but to all those out there - Lovebug is a wonderful pick for your wedding day. We adored them.

My husband didn't understand why I wanted a videographer at first, but once we got back our highlight video from Lovebug Media we both knew we made the right choice. The first time we watched the video, it brought both of us to tears. It was so well put together and took us back to our wedding day. The videos captured us perfectly as a couple and the day as a whole. Erika, Marco and Alan all worked so hard to make sure the day went smoothly and that they were there to capture all the events going on. We had so many different things I wanted to have captured, as well as a few surprises, like a fake first look with the best man in a wedding dress and a belly dancer during our reception that they helped me plan into the schedule and kept it a secret from my husband. I can't say enough good things about them! If I ever have another big life event, I will be hiring them in a heartbeat. They are simply the best!

Lovebug Media is THEE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! If I could give them 10 stars I would. It's a coincidence that mine and my husband's nicknames are the lovebugs. And no, we didn't choose them for their name; we chose them for their quality and production. After researching different videographers and watching many wedding videos, we chose Lovebug Media for its style of work. Alan and his dream team truly have an eye for capturing memories and putting them together in an amazing video! Erika was so nice and easy to work with from the beginning to the end. She was very responsive and made our decision very easy. On the day of our wedding, Alan and Andy were so seamless during their filming. They both tag-teamed and made sure to capture all the special moments, the little details, and any surprises thrown their way. As a bride, there are so many things going on the day of, the videos are one less thing to worry about when you go with Lovebug Media; THEY GOT YOU COVERED! Trust me! Thank you so much, Alan, Andy, and Erika!!! WE LOVE OUR HIGHLIGHT AND CEREMONY VIDEO!!! Every time we watch it we get to relive that day as if it were yesterday. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out! - The Lovebugs

My husband and I are so pleased with everything that Alan and his team did for us. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is not easy, but thankfully everything went seamless with Lovebug Media. Erika was very professional and accommodating. Alan did an amazing job with our highlight video and was able to capture our day perfectly. We couldn't be happier and cannot recommend them enough.

My wedding was unfortunately cancelled due to covid but I wanted to give Love Bug Media a shout out for still being so professional through the crazy 2020 year we have all been through. They were responsive, worked within my budget, and very professional through these crazy times. I hope to work with them in the future!

Hiring Lovebug was one of the best decisions we made. If you are on the fence of whether to hire a video team - DO IT. Photos are important, but so much happens on your wedding day that you do not really get to immerse in the experience. If you're unsure of who to hire, Alan and his team are absolutely the best. I was so grateful that I had all the footage from our special day. Working with Alan and his team was so easy - they know exactly what they are doing and capture every important moment. They will consult with you if you have a specific direction you want to go, but I really didn't need to do that with them. They knew what we were looking for, what was important to us, and how to effortlessly capture it all. Their editing is really classy and none of it was over the top or cheesy. Hands down worth every penny!!!!

We can't stop raving about Alan Larsen & his team at Lovebug Media! They were our favorite vendors of our wedding and we were so blessed to have worked with them! Alan and his team are organized, efficient and put us at ease. I loved Alan's positive and down to earth energy. He is a true artist and truly captured our day and our story very intuitively. Initially, we interviewed a good number of videographers and were concerned that we had too many people at our wedding (close to 500 total) to have a videographer capture everything we were hoping for. Alan brought on a few members to make our day truly special and capture every moment beautifully. His assistant Erika & Jess were so kind, helpful and organized on the backend and on the day of as well. My favorite thing about Alan is he knew what to capture and how to capture it without too much guidance or concern from him. We trusted him and he definitely came through and I could not be happier that we chose him to be our videographer. Additionally, they finished working on the highlight videos so quickly they were in our inbox before we came back from our honeymoon without compromising the quality or integrity of the videos at all! I even asked for a few minor changes with music and to add a few moments in the highlight and they did it quickly and easily without any hesitation. Thank you again for the amazing work you did and we could not be happier we chose you to capture our special day (I watch our highlight reel so often and it still brings me so much joy and tears to my eyes every time :) Go with Lovebug Media for your videos, you won't regret it!!

Loved working with this team. The video turned out amazing! I am so pleased with everything - from start to finish. They are truly a hardworking group of people who will make sure you get the wedding video you want for your special day.

We were thrilled with our experience with Lovebug Media (formerly Alan Larsen Films). Alan and his team did a fantastic job filming our wedding. They made an unforgettable video that we have been enjoying showing off, and our parents watch our highlight video almost daily. The edited video was ready quicker than we expected, and we could not have been happier with it. From the start to finish they were easy to work with, and they were very receptive to the edits we wanted. It seemed like they really wanted to make us happy and capture our key moments. After looking at a number of possible videographers we found Lovebug through a family member who used them. It was an easy decision to choose them, and I would recommend Lovebug Media to anyone without hesitation.

Alan and his team could not have done any better. They captured everything we wanted and this video will be something we will have forever. Im so glad we didnt cut corners and got a true professional with Alan. The day was such a blur for my wife and I and this allows us to see everything that was missed and remember some of the most special parts of the day. I will recommend Alan to every single person I know about to get married. You can see his talent in our video below https://vimeo.com/351505784/985194b0f4?fbclid=IwAR1vlnTfexTcfc02dNn6Aub1aiwBuQz_C0jhVu4gz518hZmWw9iD5BpVl-s

We are absolutely delighted with our wedding video from Alan Larsen Films. Alan met us for the first time via video chat (we had a destination wedding) just a few days before our wedding. Somehow, he figured out everything he needed to know about us to make a perfectly customized video. That's why we picked Alan Larsen Films. I could tell from his portfolio online how much he customized the videos; watching through them, you really get the vibe of all of the different couples whose stories he has captured. Alan and Nick were so fun to hang out with day of, and we got our video back IN A WEEK. It's amazing. I've seriously watched it probably 50 times since then. If you're considering Alan Larsen Films, DO IT!

Alan Larsen Films was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. We had a videographer flake 2 weeks before the wedding so our wedding coordinator HIGHLY recommended Alan Larsen. We were lucky enough to find out they were available for our day (meant to be). The process leading up to the big day was easy and stress-free. They respond within hours and are happy to address any questions. The day of was flawless. Our wedding party keeps talking about how awesome the crew is! They made everything fun and really felt like part of our wedding! Alan captured the energy of our wedding perfectly and even recommended music he felt went with our video! Oh and we received our video within a week and got to watch it while on our honeymoon!! Like I said, one of the best decisions we made was to use Alan Larsen Films as our videographer!

My husband and I are super happy with our video. A friend and a family of mine both said that one thing they didn't regret on spending money on was videography and photography. It made sense to me then, and it definitely made more sense now. Looking back, my 13 hours wedding day went by so so fast. I had fomo for my own wedding, so I am glad I was able to relive the day when Alan delivered my wedding video a month after the wedding. When I was hunting for a videographer, I have watched at least 50 + videos from multiple videographers. Alan's work was the most captivating to me. I am glad to say my video turned out as great as I had envisioned it. I have received compliments from families and friends. Alan was professional and down to earth. His second videographer, Nick, was also awesome. I would recommend Alan Larsen and his crew to everyone.

Got married last year and had the pleasure of having Alan and his team film the wedding. They arrived on time and were professional yet fun. They captured every single moment beautifully and the video was even better than I could’ve imagined. I cry every time I watch it. So glad we decided to do video and to use Alan Larsen Films. A lot of people are on the fence about hiring a videographer, but I can say it was the best money spent. It captures the emotions and the beauty of the moment in a way that photos just can’t. All I can say is that video was one of the best things we spent our money on. I can’t recommended Alan Larsen Films enough!

When I started planning for my wedding, I didn't have to go very far to find myself a videographer. There really was no other choice than Alan Larsen Films, considering my brother is Alan Larsen. I have watched him make movies all my life and it is always amazing to me how much talent he has had for videography. So many people have commented to me how beautiful his wedding videos are, and I have to agree. I always said watching one of his videos was like watching a reality tv show, if there were reality shows out there about perfect weddings and not bridezillas and wedding planning blunders. He really knows how to capture the perfect moment. Alan surrounds himself with other amazing people like Jess the producer and Trevor the photographer, who both make planning effortless for you. Everyone is extremely nice and helpful through the entire process. I am so happy that Alan Larsen Films captured the first day of the what will be the best years of my life. Thank you ALF

Where do I start???? ALF did NOT disappoint!! From our very first email, Jess was super friendly and so helpful. She answered all my questions courteously and professionally. Fast forward to our meeting with Alan and Jess a few weeks before our wedding. They made us feel really comfortable and were really helpful. On our wedding day Alan and his team arrived on time. They were like ninjas we didn't notice they were there. As bride, I really appreciate how they didn't place any extra stress or burden on us. We received our videos at lightening speed!! We absolutely love our highlight and ceremony videos. They're done so creatively and everything flows really well. We are really happy we chose Alan Larsen Films to capture the most important day of our lives. Book them!! Thank you so much

We went with Alan Larsen Films for our wedding and we couldn’t have been happier. Alan and his team was great to work with and the final product in our highlight video was amazing. The way Alan made our video, and the way he incorporated the music that we chose is amazing. The transitions from music, to the speeches that were made, and then back into the music was flawless. A lot of other videographers that we reviewed did not met our standards when it came to the audio, but immediately we noticed Alan’s work met our expectations. He also brought a 2nd shooter (Nick), and that guy was also super fun to work with, which made a made our day that much better. Highly recommended!

We heard about Alan Larsen by chance at a party in the midst of planning our wedding and we are so lucky that we did! Before the wedding they made everything so easy and were so professional. But the personal touch on the wedding day is what really made the difference. Their team made everyone feel comfortable - so they were able to really capture what my husband and I are like, rather than some stiff version of ourselves as we usually are on camera. Every moment was effortless and fun. I never had to stress about them for a second. And all this was before we received our PERFECT wedding video. It was fun, funny and beautiful. It's a memory that we will share with our kids and grandkids for the rest of our lives. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Alan Larsen Films!!

Alan and his team were awesome. The part I liked the most is that they felt like part of the wedding and guests. In other words, they felt like part of the family. They were very energetic, respectful and fun. We went on our honeymoon right after the wedding and the video was ready while we were on the honeymoon. My wife and I requested a few small tweaks to our liking and they were very responsive and had quick turnarounds. Recommend this service to anyone.

Initially we were not going to do a wedding video due to budget. Now that we have one, it is worth every single penny. When looking through various videographers, what stood out with all of Alan Larsen Films videos was the narrative of the couples Alan and his team were able to capture. Being in NYC and getting married in LA made for challenges in the wedding planning process, but Jess and Alan went above and beyond to communicate and get a sense of who we were as a couple before the big day. It shows in the final film - which captures an essence of who we are as individuals and what we wanted to celebrate the day of. During the day, Alan and his team were non existent. They quietly stood by and captured all the moments, I never felt like I had cameras flashing in my face or that we were being directed up to act in a forced or unnatural way. Yet the final footage has everything we would ever want. Getting the highlight video edited and completed to our music selection was another added bonus. The link is easy to pass around and share with so many of our friends and family. It helped to keep the momentum of the energy and excitement going into the weeks following the wedding.

Our wedding day will go by in the blink of an eye, which is why we're so glad, in hindsight, we got a videographer. A good videographer will not only help you relive your favorite moments from the day, but also capture moments/emotions you don'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!

I cannot even begin to explain how much I love our wedding video. Immediately after our wedding my husband and I went on our honeymoon. Alan managed to somehow send us our video while we were there and we watched that thing EVERY morning. Friends 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!

SUMMARY: There aren't enough words to express how much love we have for the Alan Larsen Films team. Their work speaks for itself and it's safe to say we will remain lifelong, loyal clients of Alan Larsen Films. Have you seen some of their work? 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

Super responsive, very professional, great to work with, and topnotch videos. Alan and his team blew away all of our expectations! We were hesitant about getting a videographer at first, but after going through the day with Alan and Drew, and seeing 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.

Some of my friends had used Alan Larsen films, and now it was finally my turn. I knew I wanted to use the company when I found myself crying watching the wedding videos found on their social media and website of people that I didn't even know. 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!

There should be an option for 10 stars for Alan Larsen. When we started wedding planning, my husband and I were very hesitant to get a videographer for our wedding. We didn't think we needed it. After talking to a few friends, and Drew from Alan 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!

Our photographer recommended Alan Larsen to us and we couldn't have been happier! They did and absolutely amazing job at capturing all of the touching, funny, and heart-warming moments over our entire wedding weekend. Then they stitched it all 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.

Alan and Drew shot my wedding in June and they were such a dream to work with! We first met Alan in June of 2015 when he shot my little sisters wedding. We were so impressed with how we never felt like we saw him or his team! They were everywhere 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 :)!!!

Our experience could not have been better. From the video chat consultation to best align our vision for our wedding to the wedding itself and the speedy turnaround on the wedding highlight video itself, I've been extremely impressed. My best 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!

I apologize that this review is long overdue. It wasn't difficult for me to decide on Alan Larsen Films for our wedding videographer for 9.4.16. Two of my best friends had ALF film their weddings and I trust them 100%. ALF did not disappoint! Drew 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!

Alan Larsen Films captured our wedding beautifully. Our highlight video is truly mesmerising and the perfect way to remember our wedding. There are so many great things to say about the quality of the work - clear imagery and sound, great choice 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.

Alan and his team were really exceptional to work with. I was in touch with Drew frequently before the wedding, and as I'm not too tech savvy, he was always there to help. The day of the wedding, I didn't even realize that Alan and his team were 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.

Alan and Drew filmed our wedding day and we don't have enough good things to say! They are so fun to work with and captured our day so beautifully. When I received our wedding highlight, my husband was traveling so I needed to refrain from watching 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!

I hunted for my wedding videographer... I hunted through many, many, MANY videos of people who got married that I didn't know. I went through so many videos, I went from "awww they're so adorable" to "OMG WHY ARE THE SAME 3 SONGS IN EVERY VIDEO?! 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.

If you need a videographer for your wedding or any special event Alan Larsen Films is the way to go. My husband and I were originally not going to have a videographer for our wedding because we didn't want anyone in our faces as we were trying 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!

Alan Larsen Films was a wonderful company to work with for our wedding. They were professional, supportive, and so easy to work with. The highlight video we received was so spectacular, and captured all of the key pieces of our wedding day so perfectly. 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!

We were on the fence about hiring a videographer for our wedding but can confidently say it was one of the best things we did. Alan, Drew and the team were great to work with and did an amazing job capturing all of the details and spirit of our 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!

The first time I saw some of the Alan Larsen Films online, I was blown away. The video that his team did for our wedding was just as spectacular as the ones I'd seen, and I'm so glad we found out about them! Their crew was very friendly and easy to work with, capturing some stunning footage along the way. I highly recommend them!!

Drew and his team did an amazing job at our wedding reception. They were helpful and professional at the event itself, and the highlight video they prepared was excellent -- it was exactly what we wanted and much better than we expected. We have shown it to so many people!

The best money we spent for our wedding! Besides the fact that the team is wonderful to work with, they were able to capture the raw emotion and all of the most important moments of our day on film. If you're hoping for quality footage, with creative angles, and personable crew, I highly recommend Alan Larsen Films!

Alan Larsen Films was the videographer for my sister and brother in law's wedding and I knew as soon as I saw their highlight video that I had to have them do mine. 3 years later (when it was actually my turn to do the wedding planning), I booked 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.

Where do I even begin? There is too many amazing things to say about Alan Larsen Films. Alan Larsen Films is a must for your wedding! They are not only incredible to work with, professional, kindhearted, fun to be around but they are TRUE ARTISTS. 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.

Simply amazing. Their reception videos are top notch. Caught all the highlights and a great short video to remember our wedding day by.

This team is so above and beyond the competition. Alan a master of creating cinematic experiences, and he knows exactly how to shoot and edit weddings to make them as meaningful as possible. If you're looking for a wedding videographer, drop any other possible candidates and hire Alan Larsen Films!!

There aren't enough amazing things I can say about Alan Larsen and his team. I was searching for a videographer a few months before our wedding and like any couple, my husband and I wanted to stay within our budget without compromising quality. 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!

Alan and his assistant was very prompt and professional. Everyone loved his work. It's been over 2 months now and my mom still watches it daily. I can't express how pleased I am with his work and service. His recording is very steady, sharp, 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.

We feel so fortunate to have found Alan Larsen Films. Katrina and Alan were our videographers and they truly did an amazing job! We loved every minute of our wedding video, so much that we've lost count of how many times we've watched it. They 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

I have been friends with Alan for a very long time. We attended USC together and I knew he was the one videographer I would hire for my wedding. He did not disappoint. He was professional, showed up on time, got all the perfect shots and put together 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.

My hubby and I made the wonderful choice of picking Alan for our wedding videography. We couldn't be happier with our choice. Alan and his team were very professional and helpful from our first meeting through the delivery of our videos. During 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!

We had originally decided against a formal wedding video, opting instead to document more with pictures. But when we saw examples of what Alan and his team could provide, there was no way we could do without. The simplicity of the shots with 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.

Alan Larsen Films captured our Indian wedding this past May. This review is looong overdue. I will have to say they were the top vendor at our wedding. My husband and I were so happy that we decided on this videographer in additition to our 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.

As many of the other reviews have said, Alan and his team are fantastic. I did a ton of research online, watched a zillion videos, and couldn’t find anything I liked that wasn’t cheesy or choppy. I finally asked my photographer Laurie Bailey 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.

The service was amazing: complete with 2 professional cinematographers, an awesome coordinator, and an out of this world editor with a highlight reel that blew us away. It's as if Alan and his team made our wedding into a big budget movie; that 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!

Alan Larsen, and his coordinator Leah, are a wonderful team. Leah was quick to respond to my original email and stayed in correspondence with me all the while patiently answering all my random questions. Once I decided to meet with them with my 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.

My amazing wedding planner recommended that I use Alan Larsen Films to be my videographer for my wedding. I had looked into several different options beforehand but after looking through all of Alan Larsen Films different options and all of the 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!

Alan Larsen Films. WOW... I don't even know where to start. What sold me on ALF was that ALL their films they had posted on their page were absolutely beautiful. They are ridiculously consistent with their Quality yet... they keep and do something 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!

I cannot even begin to say how wonderful Alan and his team are. They provided spectacular service from leading up to the wedding itself, to the on-site service, to the follow-up. Leah, his assistant was in touch with us about every little detail. 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.

My husband and I are thrilled with their work. They arrived on time, were not in the way or pushy. We couldn't of had a better team. We can't wait to use their services for our next major event. Truly worth every penny.

Words cannot adequately describe the amazing experience we shared or the gratitude we feel for Alan Larsen and his team, but we will try! Cinematography was at the top of our list, and leading up to our wedding, we spent about an hour every 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!

I was not convinced I needed a videographer at my wedding but we had a lot of family from overseas who could not attend and my husband insisted on it. I was completely wrong... not only did we need it, but I would have been crushed if we didn't 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!

We cannot recommend Alan Larsen Films enough. Alan and his team are creative, professional and flexible. It is absolutely evident that they want to create the best film possible. The way they are able to incorporate music and loved ones speeches 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!

My fiance and I ranked our priorities for the wedding and videography was at the top of the list. We looked for months for the perfect videographer that we believed could tell our story in a beautiful and unique way. Wow. Alan and Leah were everything 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!

Sometime last year, I found myself (again) diligently scouring the internet researching different works of videographers trying to figure out how this all worked and feeling pretty overwhelmed by the endless choices. Then I stumbled across Style 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. :)

We got married in August 2013 and are very thankful that we chose Alan Larsen to document our most special day together! My wife and I researched many videographers. They were all similar, followed the same format, and oftentimes were quite 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!

My husband and I got married in November 2013 in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and Alan Larsen Films captured our wedding weekend beautifully! The quality of work is absolutely SPECTACULAR! They captured every intricate detail of our weekend and gave 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!
