Working with Paul was a dream. On our wedding day, Paul was kind, professional, creative, and had such a calming presence. He blended right in but still took charge to make sure he captured the footage he knew we wanted. Before our big day, Paul made sure to really understand the space of our venue, our vision and our preferences. He also got to know us as a couple to make us comfortable even before we met him in person. Further, the videos Paul created for us are masterpieces and everything I wanted and more. He is a true artist and I cannot suggest his services enough. You won't regret hiring Paul Kwak.
Paul captured our day so perfectly, I’m so happy he was our wedding videographer. He listened to the small direction I gave and made the most perfect wedding videos tailored to us. We did the 3 minute video and the Instagram teaser and they were both cinematic perfection. He also provided raw footage of main events in our package which are so special to have. Paul was kind, responsive, and professional to work with and made us feel comfortable in front of a camera leading to organic footage. Cannot recommend Paul enough.
Paul was such a wonderful and positive addition to our wedding vendor team in May 2024, and we were so happy to find him through a friend’s recommendation. He far and away wins the award for most communicative and energetic vendor that we didn’t even need to talk to or meet before the wedding day, but it felt like we knew him and he knew us and how to perfectly capture our day. We felt strongly about having videos of highlights and key events in a classic style that reflected us as a couple and would capture those moments to hold on to forever with all of our family and friends present. Paul and his assistant couldn’t have executed that more beautifully. We had an unexpected sneak peek within days, and a full highlight reel and set of event videos within 2 weeks of our wedding! We were thrilled to receive and watch through the videos together for the first time while on our honeymoon, making it that much more special and emotional. Watching through the highlight reels, it evokes feelings of thinking, “Is that really us? Was that really our wedding?” We just felt like rockstars and Paul highlighted our love and our day of being the main characters. We are so appreciative of him and couldn’t recommend him more.
Paul is an amazing videographer and we are so happy to have hired him! From the moment he and his second shooter Liam arrived, they got straight to work but were practically invisible throughout the day. His style is very much letting the photographer take charge, meaning the shots are very unintrusive and he doesn't direct you through all the shots so they're very natural. He works really well with all the vendors and was so professional during the day of and in his work that he delivers. We got our short film video (a lot) earlier than expected which was a nice surprise, and the real time edits of our first look, ceremony, first dance, and speeches were also really nice to have. Our families and friends have said that our video is so beautiful and it is really great to see all the parts of our day in a way that photos can't express that we will cherish. We've already watched our video multiple times and know that we're going to watch them many times over the years! Video memories are SO different than photos, and with a videographer like Paul, it will be SO WORTH IT to have in the future!
Hire Paul if you want a gorgeous montage of your wedding that will bring out all the feels again! We knew Paul would be fantastic after viewing some of his work on his website, and the highlight video he created for us definitely did not disappoint.
The emotions, the laughter, and the glances and expressions exchanged between us and our guests were all captured so naturally and authentically. From the romantic shots of our ceremony to the lively moments at our reception, every scene was perfectly framed and edited to create a highlight video that we'll cherish forever.
Paul and his assistant were professional, unobtrusive, and made everyone feel at ease. While some shots were expected (they are following you after all), there were several beautiful surprises that added a wonderful touch to our video.
Watching the video brings back all the joy and love we felt on our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with the final product. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated videographer who will capture your special day in the most beautiful way possible. Thank you for giving us a video we will treasure for a lifetime!
Paul and his team perfectly captured every emotion and moment while working seamlessly with our photographer and coordinator. He was kind and clear in his instructions during portraits and gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our day knowing we would have great footage to look back on. The final video product was amazing and has let us relive our favorite day over and over again. The cherry on top is having raw footage of first looks with parents, getting ready, and small moments throughout the day that will last a lifetime. He was open to working with our budget and putting together a package that was the best fit for us. We could not possibly recommend Paul any more highly!
Paul was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding! He had great communication and was so professional at every step of the way! During the wedding day - in the best way possible - I didn’t even remember we were taking videos - it was so fun and such a seamless part of our day. The highlight reel we received was stunning and we watched it so much - was fun to have while we waited for our full video. The full wedding video exceeded our expectations - Paul and his team captured our day so beautifully and we are so grateful to have these videos to look back on for the rest of our lives. 1000% recommend!
I'm a wedding planner and have worked with Paul several times...he is the ONLY videographer I recommend to my clients because he is just that good. When I got engaged, I knew right away we needed to hire Paul. It wasn't a hard sell to my now-husband and my family because one look at his work, they were SOLD.
He is incredibly easy to work with and on the day of your wedding, you won't even know he's there! I seriously look back on the videos and wonder how he got most of the shots because I don't even remember seeing him.
We received an Instagram Sneak Peek Video and a Highlight Film. BOTH exceeded our expectations x1000, even though I knew they were going to be incredible and we've watched them hundreds of times already.
THANK YOU PAUL and team for these memories that will last a lifetime!
We were unsure originally if videography would fit in our wedding budget. But my parents were insistent and made it work for us!! And I’m so glad we did! Paul, absolutely killed it! Our video is amazing and we have watched it 100s of times. We are obsessed!! The craftsmanship was amazing, especially the transitions. Paul and his team were nothing but professional, working hand and hand with our photographers to ensure he got what he needed but we also got the photos we needed! He worked with us through the rain of tropical storm Ophelia, ensuring we got the perfect video! We are so obsessed!! Hire Paul, you won’t regret
Absolutely unreal! Paul was so amazing to work with and did such a fantastic job! We loved all the sneak peeks and were amazed at the final video! He captured all our favorite memories in such a beautiful way and we couldn’t have asked for a better videographer! Highly recommend!
I would literally hire Paul to follow me around and create a cinematic video of my life if I could. Hiring Paul for our wedding videographer was the best decision ever! We found Paul through our venue's website. They had posted a video of another wedding he filmed there and my husband and I got choked up watching a stranger's video because it was so beautifully done. We decided that's what we wanted for our video. Man, did he and his second shooter deliver. Paul and his second shooter were very professional the day of and working with Paul has been so great and easy. His turnaround time in getting our video to us was incredibly fast and it is absolutely perfect. We chose the 3-5 minute cinematic edit (which Paul cuts and edits himself) and for us it was the perfect length. He took the best parts of our day and elevated it x100. I have watched my wedding video like 200 times and every time I still cry happy ugly tears. Do yourself a favor and hire Paul Kwak!
Paul and his team did a truly incredible job capturing our day. He is, in our opinion, the most skilled videographer in the DMV and that we’ve experienced anywhere. He and his team were so easy to work with and made sure we were well-handled throughout our day, including logistical challenges and timeline-adaptations like off-site trips to crowded monuments. We had a blast with him and his crew. They had just the right amount of presence. We really got to know them, everything was superbly and tastefully-artistically documented, and we never felt they were intrusive or overbearing. His films of all couples are incredibly moving (not just the one where we had the lead roles). We truly love reliving our day through his work.
When I first came upon Paul's website and watched his sample films, it was immediately apparent that his work was a cut above all the other videographers I'd researched. He has this ability to capture what is unique about your love story and present it in the most breathtaking fashion. He is a joy to work with, and that we received our highlight film only a month after our daughter's wedding is a testament to his professionalism. Hire him -- you will be so glad you did!
From the moment I stumbled across Paul’s wedding videos, I knew in my soul that we had to have him capture our special day. I was moved to tears watching his videos and felt like a guest as I could truly feel the unique emotion of each couple’s wedding day. Paul responds quickly and communicates effectively. When our wedding day rolled around, Paul and his second shooter, Sam, were a wonderfully calming presence throughout the day. Other reviews mentioned that he was like a ninja filming and that was certainly the case for our wedding day as well. The 10 second clips he dropped before our Highlight video were absolutely stunning and the final video left us speechless and our hearts overflowing. We could feel the love and joy from our wedding day brought back to life. I’m blown away at some of the brief, incredibly special moments that were captured. Paul is beyond skilled and passionate with his craft and it translates every step of the way. We are forever thankful for our wedding video and would recommend Paul Kwak Films in a heartbeat.
Paul was an INCREDIBLE choice for our wedding videography. We found his information through our photographer we are so grateful that we chose him. He was super easy to talk to and he made us feel comfortable (as two people who are nervous on camera)! His assistant Andrew was awesome and they were both great hype men on our big day! They made us laugh and we had so much fun with them. Not to mention the amazing videos they have sent us from our day! I am eternally grateful that they were able to capture the magic that was the best day of our lives. I can't recommend him more.
Paul Kwak Films was AMAZING!! They gave fantastic instruction to for movements and holding poses. They were super easy to work with and I barely noticed them there during our wedding ceremony and reception. I absolutely love our highlight reel that they delivered us in a timely manner!! Absolutely loved working with Paul Kwak Films!
Paul and his team did spectacular work on the short film for my wedding. The edit was completed a few days ago, and the arrangement of scenes, the choice of music, and the choice of segments picked out from various speeches on our special day, were all done masterfully. The result was a beautiful and dramatic short video that makes you feel like the starring role in a movie. And this is the unanimous feedback I am getting from all my family and friends who watched the short film.
As someone that has never planned a wedding before, I felt that the cost of using Paul and his team was significant. But I took a look at his works and took the leap of faith, and I am glad that I did. If you’re going to be at a beautiful venue, with beautifully dressed people, and working with other talented (and yes, expensive) vendors, then you want someone who can capture all of that in one neat masterpiece—Paul & team did that for us, and we are left with a 5-minute video of the most special moments of our most special day that we will come back to time and time again, for a lifetime.
The video of our special day can be found on Instagram at @paulkwakfilms, November 8 post.
Paul Kwak and his team came highly recommended to us from friends who used him for their weddings. From the very first communication, Paul was professional yet personable, he was polite yet outgoing, and throughout the entire process he remained the above as we got to know him and his team. His work is stunning, his package options were organized and his delivery was more than we could have hoped for. We received his work in the timeframe provided, we had the add on option of raw footage, and we have the professional edits to look back on for a lifetime. If you're looking for a videographer for your big day, please do yourself the favor of not looking any further than Paul and his team. You will not regret his professionalism, talent, nor friendship. Paul, if you're reading this, thank you AGAIN from the bottom of our newlywed hearts. We will cherish your work forever.
My husband and I had the privilege of booking Paul Kwak for our micro-wedding this past April. And let me say, he did not disappoint. His work is truly one of kind. Our highlight video encompassed everything that was important to us on our big day. We even loved the background music he chose. As a bride, the wedding day can be hectic and overwhelming, Paul and his partner Andrew were incredible to work with, peaceful even. Paul and his team also worked well with our photographer, Kenneth Clapp, which is extremely important. If you’re looking for a unique and timeless way to capture your wedding day, book Paul Kwak, you’ll be so happy you did.
With our intimate wedding during COVID, we wanted to capture our special moments on film so we could share our day with our extended family and friends. We interviewed around six wedding videographers, and we couldn't be more thrilled we chose Paul.
Paul is a true artist who loves helping families celebrate love, and his second shooter Andrew is a talented bubble of joy. We enjoyed spending our wedding day with them... but we were blown away by our final videos. But given that we're the bride and groom, we are pretty biased humans about our wedding, so I'm sure my uncle filming on an iPhone would have made us feel special.
Over the last few months, however, we have received countless messages from family and friends who have said they felt like they were at our wedding and cried at our highlight reel. That's Paul's magic. We're just average people getting married as people do...sure, we're in love, but so are you. Paul will find everything that makes you a unique couple and put those moments together as a story in a way that is unparalleled. Hire him. If you're like us, his work will be your most treasured keepsake from your wedding day.
Paul was so easy to work with and well in sync with our photographer. He captured moments we didn't even know existed and beautifully matched our wedding video to the vibe of our day with so much of our story encompassed. It was perfect.
We had such a wonderful experience with Paul as our videographer. From our first communication, he was incredibly professional and responsive. Our wedding was originally supposed to take place in June, but because of Covid, we had to push it back several months, and then reduce the size drastically. Paul was extremely understanding, flexible, and accommodating throughout the process. At the wedding, he and his assistant were very professional and discreet. The final product was absolutely gorgeous and captured our day perfectly. We are SO glad that we found Paul, and can't wait to work with him again for our post-Covid wedding celebration in the future.
After our original videographer backed out only two weeks before our wedding, we panicked and scrambled to look for another videographer. It was difficult finding someone that was within our budget who also produced high quality videos. By some miracle, Paul was able to meet us at our budget price and so we booked him only ONE week before our wedding. This turned out to be one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Paul and his team were extremely accommodating, professional, and wore masks throughout the entire wedding day. They captured our day so perfectly, making it look more elegant and beautiful than it was. All of our friends and family were so impressed by the movie trailer-like highlight video. Since the wedding took place in the midst of a pandemic, many family members and friends were unable to attend. Now we have a video to share that recapped the wedding in such a beautiful way. We are so glad that we have this video to save forever!
Paul and team did a fantastic job capturing my wedding day. They got all the right shots without ever being in the way. I'm so glad I hired them!
Paul Kwak Films is truly a talented soul. As a wedding planner I get to work with so many talented vendors. What stood out to me about Paul was how he was able to tell a story through his cinematography and capture raw emotions. He captured everything so beautifully. I was able to relive the day through his highlights. It moved me to tears. That takes skills and experience. It was like watching a mini movie of the wedding day. Highly recommended!
Paul Kwak is amazing at what he does. He beautifully captured and told a story of Jodie & Scott's modern day love story. From the way he edits the video, to the raw emotions he captures, it is truly a skill set not many possess. If you are looking for someone to tell your love story look no further. Watching his videos will give you all the feels of that day. Highly recommended. You can't go wrong with Paul Kwak Films!
We are so lucky that we made the right choice to choose Paul Kwak as our wedding videographer! He is very experienced and professional. The wedding videos that Paul made for us was so amazing and beyond expectation that it looks like a real professional film and we are so happy to see ourselves in this film. It is so professionally done. All the scenes that he manages to put together look real, natural but also artistic.
He has a great team working together with him on the wedding day. Everybody in his team works hard and doesn’t demand much attention or care from us. Their work happens in the background. The whole team were all constantly carrying the cameras whole day. They stayed longer than they committed in the evening. Paul also gives us good tips about how to look better and natural in the film.
What is also important to us is that he captures all the important scenes and moments that we didn’t want to miss. They knew exactly how to find their perfect angle without being in our way. The professional facilities they bring are impressive too.
Even though he needs to put huge amount of efforts into editing the footages, Paul is very happy to make detailed adjustments to how we want it to be. According to our specific needs and preference, he is also willing to spend extra time to make extra videos for us which he usually doesn’t provide in his package.
Having a perfect record of our wedding day is very important to us. It turns out that the result is so beautiful and fantastic. It impresses us and will continue to impress us every time we watch the memory of our most important day in our life in the future.
Paul Kwak is really great at what he is doing. Hope we can hire him again in other important occasions where we need a professional videographer.
Paul is absolutely amazing--he is one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding. I have been watching our wedding videos non-stop since I received them and I appreciate them even more after each watch. He captures the most precious moments of our day and beautifully tells a story (thru film) that reflects our heart/desires/hopes for our marriage. How does anyone do that? I have no idea, but Paul has the gifting! Paul has been the videographer for many of my friends' weddings as well and we all have the same response, "He's so amazing! We absolutely love our videos." We spend thousands of dollars on our wedding and plan for it for months/years/a lifetime... having our special day recorded well should be a given! I can't wait for the day when I can show my children our wedding videos--something my parents couldn't show me. BEST INVESTMENT EVER!!
Paul was amazing to work with, from the very start. He was a referral from our photographer, and we are so lucky that he was available for our day! I cannot believe all of the incredible footage that he was able to capture – some of which I didn’t even realize he was there for! We received our highlights video yesterday (before we even expected it to be ready!), and I cannot stop watching it. Truly incredible work – we’ve received so many compliments from family, friends and vendors already. Just under five minutes, and we can relive our wedding day any day we please :) If Paul is available for your day, he must be hired!
Paul Kwak Films is one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding! Photos of you wedding are wonderful, but video allows you to transport back to that day and relive the joy all over again. Every time my husband and I watch our video we can't help but feel all the love and emotion we were carrying that day. Paul didn't miss a single moment, and the best part is I can't ever remember seeing him or his equipment. He knew exactly where to be so we can enjoy our day without having cameras in our faces. The edited trailer he made looked like a cinematic masterpiece! The cuts, the music, everything worked together so seamlessly. Thank you so much again, Paul. You've given us a priceless gift that we will treasure for the rest of our lives!
Paul Kwak was absolutely AMAZING! He was our dream wedding videographer from the very start. Paul was nice, accommodating, and was incredibly easy to work with. My husband and I were very busy then with work, school and preparing for the wedding, but Paul was patient with us. Not only is he professional but his artistry is tops. Just check out his portfolio. I had sifted through tons and tons (i mean it) of videographers on different wedding websites but compared to all of them, I just love Paul Kwak's style and creativity the most. It's been two months since our wedding and my heart just swells up with joy every time I watch our wedding video. My husband and I LOVE the video. I know, i know, I'm cheesy, but I literally cry every time I watch it, it truly was the best day ever. And you would want that to be captured by someone who knows his craft. Paul's response time is also amazing, so you'll defo appreciate his work ethic. To every bride out there, lemme tell you...book this dude. The wedding dress will get dirty, the cake will be eaten, the flowers will wilt, but the memories of the day you marry the love of your life will never be forgotten.
We recently used Paul as our wedding videographer! He was so nice and jumped through some major hurdles just to get a good shot. I cannot wait to what he comes up with for our video!
Paul Kwak and his team were wonderful to work with. They captured some amazing moments and the final products are beautiful!
If you are looking for the best videographer in the area Paul Kwak Productions is the go-to. Paul and his team were amazing to work with -- friendly, accommodating, professional, and amazing at what they do. We have gotten so many compliments on our wedding video and are so happy we were able to use Paul's services for our special day.
All I can say is EPIC! The video was EPIC. My guests said they didn't even realize Paul and his assistant were even present (that's how good they are). Some of the angles were impressive as well. I will also commend Paul on his patience. I was tired by the end of the night and didn't want to re-do my sparkler exit and he was amenable to it and made do with what he had. It was still EPIC! And I will also add that the music he chose was fitting. I was scared when I signed the contract giving him control of that aspect that he was going to choose a cheesy or typical song, but he didn't. he was on point!
We used Paul Kwak Productions for our wedding videos. He and his wife came to our hotel to capture our First Look moment and other aspects of getting ready at the hotel. Our wedding location was the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore and Paul rode with us around the zoo grounds while his wife took more video of the setup. They both took video of the ceremony and reception.
They provided us with a four minute highlight video and longer videos of the ceremony and important parts of the reception. I must say -- we were so impressed! The highlight video plays like a Hollywood romance short film. It brought back so many emotions from the day. The production quality of the video, audio, and editing was incredible and I am so proud to have this on my phone to view over and over. He uses video, music, and audio from the message, vows, and toasts to craft a wedding story. Plus in the future years, we will have this video to show our children. The longer videos capture aspects of the day in longer form and once again, the quality is excellent.
After paying for wedding photography, I was hesitant to pay for a separate videographer. After seeing the results, it was well worth it! Paul was very easy to work with and quickly responded to all my questions. He was great with suggestions and very accommodating to include our requests into the videos. If you are considering a wedding videographer, I recommend Paul Kwak Productions!
Paul Kwak was unbelievable to work with throughout our whole wedding planning process! When I first called and spoke to Paul, he was great to talk to and very helpful. Paul explained to us all of their options and how they can be customized to fit our needs. Since our ceremony was spoken in English and Spanish, we were concerned that during the editing process, some special moments would be left out. He assured us that he would work with us personally to make sure any speeches, toasts or other special moments spoken in Spanish would be captured. We couldn't have asked for a better experience working with Paul and his team. He was professional, kind and best of all we didn’t even notice he was there. Our video turned out spectacular and our families and friends really enjoyed Paul’s artistic style. We are really happy with how our wedding was captured and give him 5 stars for his services.
My husband and I are extremely happy with the finished products we received from Paul Kwak Productions! When I was searching for a wedding videographer, one of my telltale signs that I liked someone’s work, is if their sample videos made me teared up. Obviously Paul’s work did just that, and I knew I needed him for our wedding. Although my husband and I can be quite private naturally, we were very at ease working with Paul and his wife. Both were extremely professional and calm. They were never in our faces, yet captured amazing footage that I didn’t even know they were filming! They came early, and was prepared. He was patient with us when I asked for extra shots outside later in the evening. He was also very prompt with his correspondences. We are in love with all the footage they captured, and do not regret one bit spending the money, which we felt was very reasonably priced. I promise you will not regret using Paul Kwak as your videographer vendor! Thank you Paul!!!! – Katie & Zach
I decided to get a wedding photographer after hearing from multiple friends and family members tell me how they regretted opting out of having one. Once I decided that I had to get one, I began my search. A lot of the vendors I found had wedding videos that seemed like they were stuck back in the 90s. Then I stumbled upon Paul Kwak's website, and I was truly blown away.
Paul is incredibly talented at what he does. His work will be the kind that still seems cutting edge many years from now. During our wedding, we hardly noticed he was there because he was so good at blending in and getting the job done. Everyone who saw our video said that it was the best they had ever seen.
If you are looking for someone who is reasonably priced, amazingly talented, and will provide you with footage that will last a lifetime, then Paul Kwak is your man!
From start to finish, Paul Kwak made the entire process a breeze. We took a look at his work, became SUPER eager to book him, and to this day, still thank our lucky stars that we had Paul Kwak Productions as a part of our big day. Paul was always responsive to all of our questions and made booking his services something that didn't add an ounce of stress to the wedding planning whatsoever. He arrived at our wedding, ready to go, did his work so fluidly (barely noticed he was there), all the while capturing all of the beautiful moments and details from all parts of the day from all parts of the venue into something fit for the movie screens. His work his amazing and he is so talented. I watched the highlights clip over and over and the full-video will also never get old. I can't thank Paul Kwak Productions enough for capturing our day into the incredible video that brought to life all of the love and butterflies in the air that we can watch forevermore. Having a videographer is a MUST for weddings and if you're in search, I can wholeheartedly say, Paul Kwak Productions is the way to go. You will not regret it in the slightest.
A great videographer was in the top 3 priorities for our wedding and I just happened to come across Paul's information and website during my search. I'm so happy I did! His videos were so breathtaking, and upon contacting him, we found his pricing to be the most reasonable for all that was included in his package options.
From day 1, Paul and his team delivered above and beyond quality service and product. He was very attentive and answered every single one of my questions. We were so surprised that he was able to capture every precious moment from our special day!
I would hire Paul again and recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat! It was such a pleasure working with him from beginning to end!
I just wanted to take a minute to share with you how wonderful Paul Kwak Productions is. First of all, emailing Paul Kwak was extremely easy and his response time is amazing. You won't have to wait a day or two to hear back from him which is great!I liked that there are packages to choose from depending on your budget. I went with the cinematic silver for my wedding. On our wedding day both videographers were at the ceremony and the reception. They were on time and ready to go! I liked that they were constantly moving around yet you never felt like you had a camera in your face. You will not be disappointed with the final product! I was blown away by the cinematic highlight video! From the music to editing it was absolutely beautiful! When my DVD came in the mail I couldn't wait to watch it. I loved every minute of the DVD. I was even able to order two extra copies for both parents. I would highly recommend Paul Kwak productions for anyone who is looking for a videographer. He has a website you can check out and a facebook page.
We booked Paul Kwak exactly a year before our wedding date after we were impressed with the sample set of videos on his website and his competitive pricing compared to other vendors. It turned out to be a great decision. During our wedding day, his crew was in the background and careful not to interrupt important events while also filming. Paul gave us a great recommendation to shoot a bit outside while it was sunset during our downtime which was incorporated beautifully in our videos.
Promptly after the wedding was over, Paul went straight to work asking for the song we wanted as the background and the mood we wanted to set in the video. He took our suggestions but also gave his own inputs to make our highlight video memorable. The turnaround for our video was about two and a half weeks with a last minute adjustment. The highlight video he created for us was professionally edited and upon reception we were so impressed that we probably watched it five or six times straight. One of our wedding guests after seeing our highlight video was so impressed that she changed her mind about not hiring a videographer. She was blown away by his skills!
Paul Kwak and his crew also did a documentary video which captured the major parts of our wedding which we cared about the most. We loved his style and direction in shooting our videos which we found more dynamic with the angles and zooms than other videos we have seen out there. We highly recommend Paul Kwak for videography for the best value in terms of cost and quality he produces. Thank you Paul and your team!
Paul and his team are wonderful!! I had a 3 day Indian wedding that they captured beautifully! They were very attentive to details and customs we had discussed. They were professional, punctual, discreet and artistic. Their highlights captured the events perfectly and are great to share with friends and family. His creative touch really adds to the cinematography. I would recommend him to anyone including South Asian brides! He will capture every detail so long as you give him descriptions of what parts are important such as skits or traditions. You can trust Paul and his team for great memories!
I can't say enough good things about Paul and his team. This was a last minute decision for us to have a videographer for our wedding and we have no doubts that we made the right decision with Paul. He communicated with us the entire way leading up to the wedding and definitely made us feel comfortable that everything would be taken care of. After seeing the final product we couldn't be happier. We would highly recommend Paul to anyone looking for a videographer!
Paul was a complete pleasure to work with. Our video turned out amazing, it perfectly captures the emotions of the whole night! Paul and his second shooter were extremly responsive and flexible during the entire process, plus extremely discreet throughout the entire wedding. I would highly recommend Paul to anyone looking for a beautiful video of their big day.
Stop searching for your wedding videographer-Paul & his wife did a wonderful job at our wedding! We live in Hawaii & traveled back home to PA for our wedding. My husband & I are avid photographers & pictures/video are really important to us . Therefore, we spent countless hours reading reviews and researching the best of the best in photography & videography. Paul & his wife are the perfect pair. They are very talented and did an amazing job at capturing all the special moments of our day. Watching our wedding video made me feel exactly as if I was back in time doing it all over again. It was great! I cried when I saw the highlights which is a very cool short & sweet music video that you can easily share with family & friends. It was so special and captured moments that I didn't even remember because the day flew by so fast. Paul and his wife are very nice laidback professionals which I really appreciated. They have great energy without being overwhelming and just know what to do and when to do it. If you want a very special and memorable video of the best day of your life then contact Paul Kwak for a high quality cinematic production. We are so happy we did! Thank you so much for a beautiful work of art that we will always cherish!!!
We were SO extremely happy with Paul. He was able to capture every part of our day and really understood our taste and personalities. His cinematic video was like nothing I've seen before. I would highly recommend him to any bride.
Hiring a videographer was a last-minute decision, and we are so glad that we have our special moments captured on film. Paul was quick to respond and very flexible with us. On our wedding day, he and his assistant were timely, professional, and unobtrusive during the ceremony and reception. We chose the basic package, which was affordable for us and a good value. There were minor sound issues in the final film but Paul made up for it by including an extra DVD for us to enjoy. My family loved watching it together!
Paul and his assistant were incredible to work with. They went above and beyond to make my bride and I feel taken care of. They honored us with their time, their service and their professionalism. And Paul was extremely understanding in editing and producing a video of our family to enjoy for years. I highly recommend him.
Paul did a fantastic job videoing our daughter’s wedding in June of 2014. He really captured all the fun and enjoyable parts of the wedding and we completely forgot he was there. He was a pleasure to work with and the Highlights Video we added to the package turned out even better than we had hoped for. I highly recommend him for your wedding or any special event that you want to capture for all times.

We were so pleased and happy when we watched our preview wedding video! Paul Kwak truly captured the essence and beauty of our wedding! You know that a videography has done a superb job when we when are filled with happy tears and experience an overwhelming sense of joy watching our wedding video over and over again We are so glad that we hired Paul Kwak to be our videographer and we've already referred him to many of our friends! Again, excellent job and keep up the good work!!!
If you're looking to find someone to capture the real-feel of your wedding, and do it stealthily... go to Paul!
He really works with you to catch the moments that YOU want, and that YOU would cherish (rather than following a cookie-cutter production). Paul is incredibly friendly and fun to work with. You can ask him for specifics, or you could give him free rein. Either way, you'll find peace of mind with him. Completely trustworthy and creative guy! Paul was there capturing from beginning to the VERY end.
The only reason I'm not able to give a perfect score was that the angle of the filming (of the ceremony) was not favorable. It's because my ceremony space was not conducive to filming... so certain moments were lost because we weren't aware of the limitations.
This is just a general note to all brides & grooms out there --be aware of your surroundings ;)
I have nothing but positive things to say about Paul Kwak Productions and their work. If we could do it all over again we would definitely do it with them! My husband and I were so happy with our video and the whole experience. Paul was very quick to respond, sensitive to meet our requests, while having his own suggestions if we needed. He was also there from beginning to end with his team to film every moment. We truly recommend him to anyone whose in need of a professional and creative wedding videographer!
Thanks again Paul for our amazing video!
Paul was not only extremely professional, timely, and talented, he made something that was already very special even more creative while still capturing the essence and magic of the evening. He wasn't ever in the way the day of and was always kind and a great person in interactions. When there was a slight problem with one of the DVD's, he quickly replaced it for no charge. He is highly recommended!
Using Paul Kwak Productions was the easiest , least stressful, best decision we had to make for our wedding. Paul and his team were amazing, very professional and easy to work with (even three hours away)..Our wedding day went by in such a blur, so it's nice to be able to relive our day over and over again with wonderful wedding video and highlights ♡♡♡♡
Paul Kwak is absolutely amazing! Leading up to the wedding, like any bride, I was freaking out about the little things. I would ask tons of questions but Paul was always so responsiveness. I felt like he truly cared about my day. On my wedding day, he arrived on time and was ready to shoot. I didn't see him too much, as he was quiet and moving around so I had no idea what kind of shots he got. Besides, the day goes by so fast that you don't really remember it. When my husband & I saw the highlights, I was in tears! I have no idea how he captured everything, especially when he was so discrete but HE GOT EVERYTHING! I can't stop sharing the video because it is absolutely wonderful. Everyone who has seen it loves it! Those who didn't attend the wedding told me they felt like they were there. Those who attended also said that he captured everything. It was perfect! I would recommend Paul to any bride. You will not be disappointed!
