New Road Productions - Films and Photos

rs, we selected Wes Shepard, the owner of ‘New Road Productions.’ On the day of the wedding, Wes was on time and already shooting video footage of the grounds when we arrived. He also had set up his microphones and several types of cameras and lights for the ceremony area and reception site so he could get multiple angles to capture the best footage indoors and outdoors, in different lighting. Wes worked solid and in tandem with the photographer we hired from 3:00 pm until 11:00 pm. He videoed our bridal party, the bride and groom’s ‘first look,’ their garden wedding ceremony & cocktail hour on the lawn, the indoor dinner & reception, and the sparkler exit. He was very polite and professional while communicating with all ages of the bridal party and guests. Within a week after the wedding, we were amazed to already receive the seven-hour raw video footage from our daughter and son-in-law's wedding. A few weeks beyond, we received our first draft of the Highlight Video. We laughed and cried at how sweet everything was edited. Wes truly captured the emotions of our special day, both in the raw footage and the five-minute highlight video edited to music, and we'll all treasure our daughter's wedding day even more in time because the videos will help keep our memories alive. The bottom line is this: DO NOT let people convince you that you don't need a videographer for your wedding. The wedding day goes by too fast. You'll try to “live in the moment” with your loved ones, which means you can’t see everything and be everywhere. When it's over, you'll realize how amazing the day was and want to relive it again - but can't if there isn't a video! This is why you need to hire Wes Shepard to record the most special day of your life. You won’t ever regret it.

the raw footage (all 8 hours of it). He knew exactly the parts to show in the final video to bring tears and smiles to our faces. The day itself was such a blur so it is nice to be focused on the most special of times. Totally recommend him and his company. You won't be disappointed.

d captured everything we wanted to see again, and it's been a joy re-watching our wedding day. My absolute only "negative" is that I wish his attire had been a bit more professional, but all in all would recommend and would book again! Thank you, Wes!

ch is what we wanted. My wife was under the weather for most of reception and Wes made sure to capture the reception to the max so we could both look back on it together. Would recommend Wes and his team 100%

rapher when she was taking pics. In fact, he was so strategically placed during the ceremony, I didn't even see a sign of him. Somehow,he didn't miss a moment of our special day and the final version was fantastic and melts my heart every time I watch it!!!! Thanks Wes!

as our videographer and could not have been happier. He did a phenomenal job! He showed up on time and went right to work. He was professional and moved seamlessly throughout our event. I was worried about knowing I was being filmed, but he blended in so well, I hardly knew he was there. We spoke a few times before the wedding and he was always quick and informative in his responses. We received our wedding highlight video, our chapter highlights, and all the raw footage from our wedding. It was amazing! I highly recommend springing for the highlight video. He created what felt and looked like a movie trailer of our wedding. I was blown away by how amazing it was. I had seen samples of some of his videos on his website, so I knew it would be amazing, but he blew us away with the quality and artistry. I have every moment of my wedding, beautifully captured on video. Choosing Wes at New Road Productions was by far one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We looked at several different options for this service, and Wes was the best priced and highest quality. He books fast, and stays busy, so make sure you contact and book him early. We couldn't be happier with everything he provided. :)

capture a second angle during the wedding ceremony. We could not have been happier with New Road Productions. Wes captured our wedding day perfectly. Our wedding video was so thoughtfully edited and put together - he managed to capture the most wonderful moments of the day, without being intrusive, and without us feeling like he was in the way. I was unfortunately pretty sick on the day of my wedding. He was extremely sensitive to that and did all he could to ensure everything went smoothly. He was wonderful to work with in the run up to the wedding, as well as after the big day. I was working crazy hours both before and after the wedding. He was extremely patient with me when I was slow to get him information, our music selections and in making decisions on the final cut of the video. I also had minor edits to the wedding video, and he was very happy to accommodate my requests. Wes is extremely talented, he produced a wonderful video, he is reliable and an absolute pleasure to work with. A bride could not ask for more.

erything to us and we signed on the spot. Wes is nice and laid back, but very professional. He was never in the way during the wedding or reception and I barely noticed he was even there. Yet he captured some really great footage. He let me pick a song for the highlight video and somehow managed to time it perfectly so that it appeared we were dancing to that song (totally different song)! He captured special and funny moments that we weren't even aware of until watching the video. THANK YOU, Wes! We have something to treasure for always...

use of the work Wes captured!! Blew my expectations out of the water!!!

d concerns. When we watched the video it felt like we were there experiencing our wedding again. I would recommend Wes to anyone getting married.

other reason I wanted Wes was because of the way he acted on the wedding day. He arrived extremely early, caught every moment possible and more, and was the only non stressful vendor to deal with in the wedding. He is a nice, laid back guy that gets the stress of the wedding day. He was professional and did his job to the fullest without getting in the way. After being in 4 weddings in a summer, believe me, all photographers are not like this. He exceeded my expectations on my wedding day and for a VERY, VERY fair price compared to other photographers in the area. Better quality, better price, more enjoyable to be around- hire him!

, he made wise recommendations and edited the video to our liking...Wes was everywhere during the wedding but not overwhelming, he captured every single moment, including moments other professionals failed to capture! ...the price was great considering all the time and expertise he put into every aspect of the wedding - the DVDs, the raw footage, the highlight videos...He showed such confidence and professionalism that I felt I didn't have to worry and wonder about this part of the wedding...you will love hiring him, so just do it!

r wedding highlights video turned out SO well! We LOVE it and I have gotten so many compliments on it from everyone who watches it. We also got beautiful edited versions of the ceremony, first dances, and all of the speeches throughout the night; as well as, unedited raw footage of the whole day. I am having so much fun reliving my wedding day with the beautiful videos and would recommend New Road to every bride!

happy with our highlight video and all the footage.

graphy and Photography were my top priorities even when planning my low budget wedding. When I first saw the amazing videos from New Road Productions I was sure they were out of my "economic bride" price range. One of the best things about Wes and New Road Productions is that they are extremely affordable with their packaged deals that include both video and photography. I was still able to have amazing videos and photography at a very great cost! Everything was professional from the start. Wes met us at a convenient location to discuss what we wanted for our special day. He was never pushy and ultimately concerned about helping us choose the perfect wedding package based on our wants and needs. I left feeling at ease (which is an amazing feeling for a bride-to-be) The day of the wedding was great! Wes and his team were VERY professional and I barely noticed they were there. One of the other many great things I liked about New Road Productions is that I truly felt they cared about me and my groom which was represented by all the hard work they put in to my photos and videos. My wedding photos were edited beautifully by Felimon. With other photographers, you worry about how the images will turn out but I assure you, that wont be the case with New Road Productions. Wes has his own level of quality and if the images or video do not meet that standard he will make sure they do before you see them- always leaving you with the best of the best. I appreciated the time it took to make all of my memories look there best. I was completely happy with the service, product, and with my new favorite Photographers and Videographers at New Road Productions!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! You captured the most important day of my life beautifully!! I will use this company for every photo opportunity from now on!! Babies will be board in the coming years ;)

r us was just wonderful. We have enjoyed the wedding video more so than even our professional photos from another company. The highlight videos that Wes made were superb, and we have received lots of compliments from friends & family that did not attend the wedding. Many said that just watching our highlights made them feel as though they were actually there at the wedding. Our video production did take longer than expected in the editing process due to some staffing issues, Wes explained, and he wanted to do it himself to ensure his standards. However, we didn't mind, as we would rather wait and get a quality product. We have been extremely happy with the end product, and I highly recommend using Wes Shephard and his company, New Road Productions.

ank you Wes for helping us remember our wonderful day and for producing such a professional video!

ill be watching this video for years and years to come. He and his team were completely invisible on the day of the wedding, but captured so much powerful footage that couldn't be shown in photographs. We are so glad that we not only got a videographer, but used Wes and his team - they were easy to work with, flexible, and overdelivered on everything they agreed to do. I highly recommend to anyone considering!

perfectly for us. Wes was really easy to work with, and he was great about communicating with us prior to the wedding about the various details he needed from us.

otions of our special day. When selecting a videographer I was primarily concerned with two things: 1) an overly produced and over-the-top (cheesy) video, and 2) the staging of events to create forced moments. The video produced by New Road Productions contained neither of these items. We were so happy with all of the wedding day moments that Wes captured. When I showed one of my bridesmaids the video she thought it was incredible and then turned to say, “I don’t remember seeing a videographer that evening.” We are so unbelievably thrilled with Wes’ amazing work! We are so lucky that we picked the most amazing videographer! It will be something we will enjoy over a lifetime.
