Poetic Cinema Films

multiple conversations via phone and then were able to meet in person. I figured we would meet with him and speak for 20-30 minutes on what we were looking for in a videographer but it turned into an hour and a half of talking about our hobbies, his and how we all had similar interests. My husband and I immediately felt at ease that we had picked the right vendor for our special day. The day of Dan was VERY respectful. During getting ready shots he set the expectation of how he would enter and exit the dressing room to make all of the girls feel comfortable, details I hadn't even thought of. Myself and my husband didn't even noticed that Dan was there most of the day and neither did our wedding guests. We just received our wedding video and let me just say that we gave little to nothing to Dan as far as guidance and it was PERFECT. Our expectations were high and Dan over delivered. If you are looking to capture your vows, speeches, special moments in real time...book Dan. He captured everything perfectly and is well worth putting part of your wedding budget towards videography.

recommendation and Dan from Poetic Cinema was on every single list provided to us. From the first conversation with Dan to our first meeting his gentle and kind demeanor, soft spoken nature puts you at ease and sets the stage for his genuine interest in connecting with you as a couple and making sure he captures the true essence of your relationship and your special day. We can't say enough great things about our experience with Dan and how happy we are that we found him!

dings, not hiring a videographer and others saying it was their best decision. After meeting with Dan, I knew our search was over. He was not only professional, but very down to earth and easy to talk to. He stayed very much behind the scenes on the day of the wedding and most family and friends said they didn't even know we had a videographer there. Once we received our Highlight video back, we were even more impressed. Words can't even describe how moving a short video can be, but Dan was able to capture our day in such a way that was so special and brought tears to my eyes. He pieced together our day so beautifully and this is one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding. This is something we will have to cherish forever and can't thank Dan enough for this wonderful gift.

the emotions of the day in a genuine way. Dan from Poetic Cinema absolutely delivered on this wish in every possible way. From our very first meeting with him, I felt a connection. Dan takes the time to understand the couple and what they want from the day. He is honest, humorous, and sincerely happy for the bride and groom. He will do whatever it takes to best capture the moment – even if it means lying in the tall grass with the bugs during our portrait photo shoot, as was the case on our big day. Another expert touch that made a difference for us was that he discreetly clipped a microphone to my husband’s tuxedo, which allowed him to clearly capture all of the dialogue from the ceremony without any distracting background noise. When we received our package from Dan, we could not have been more thrilled with the final product! His pride in his work shows through with how much effort he puts into making your special day unique to you. His editing choices made for an emotional, stunning, and (at times) humorous collection of videos that allows us to share and relive the best moments of the day with all of the accompanying emotion. Dan is a master at what he does, and I am so glad that we trusted him with capturing that incredible day for us.

timely manner. His prices are very reasonable and his services were worth every penny for me. Our video turned out FANTASTIC. My friends and family who have watched it all say how amazing it looks. I highly recommend Poetic Cinema and you absolutely won't regret it!

rapher, but after much debate and recommendations from friends, we are so happy with our decision. From my first phone conversation with Dan he made me feel confident in our decision. Being 6 hours away with us in Pittsburgh and his company in Cincinnati, everything had to be done via phone or email. He paid careful attention to every detail we wanted to capture and then some. He made the trip out to our venue the day before just to familiarize himself with the venue to determine the best shots. He was extremely friendly toward friends and family and worked seemlessly with our photographer and venue coordinator. The day of the wedding Dan and Dale needed no guidance and remained completely unnoticed throughout the entire day. They use video cameras that resemble regular SLR cameras, which really made family and friends more comfortable because they thought he was just getting pictures (some people feel awkward in front of a video camera!) The most exciting part is getting to see the finished product!!! It literally had all of us crying as they captured everything so beautifully, not leaving out any important parts. Creativity takes time, so don't be surprised if a few months go by before receiving your video, but the wait is WELL worth it. Dan was even flexible in letting us pick music out for the trailer and the highlight video, which made it even MORE personal to us. We'd recommend Poetic Cinema to absolutely any couple out there looking for a way to capture moments of your wedding day that you'll never get back. We cannot thank them enough!

friend of a friend recommended Dan. I talked to him on the phone and felt an immediate connection with him. My daughter and son-in-law made an appointment with him. They were very impressed by his work and also felt he was right for what they wanted. I didn't meet him until the day of the wedding. He and his assistant were so professional and so extremely nice. When we received the trailer, I couldn't believe how he captured the complete feeling for the wedding day and condensed it into those few minutes. I have it on my phone and watch it every day! We received the complete CD soon afterward and it was absolutely amazing! As the mother of the bride, I highly recommend Poetic Cinema for the quality of service and I felt the price was just right for all that he did and the finished product. Dan was there for everything we needed on the day of the wedding and I never felt that I needed to be checking to make sure that something was being done. Dan was a pleasure to work with and is an extremely nice person. I absolutely love the video he put together for us!

ess images of my daughter's special day in a creative way. He was professional and easy to work with. There were 2 videographers present but I barely knew they were there. Excellent work!

munication and often initiated communication, even if just to check in. On the wedding day he was there on time and slipped right into his role. He knew many of the other vendors at the wedding, and also was able to give us some tips on choosing vendors during the planning process! Since I was planning from out of town I had not met him before, but he made my groom and I feel like we had known him for years. I was on the fence about having a videographer in the beginning of my planning for budget reasons, but I am so glad I decided to go with it. As soon as the wedding was over I couldn't wait to relive it, and can't imagine a better way to do so than with a video done as well as the one's made by Poetic Cinema.

d with the help of Dan and his team. Their work is absolutely amazing and I recommend him to everyone who is getting married!

inema was my life line for my wedding! He is so personable and easy to talk to and he really does care about making every bride's day the best it can be! He not only videoed my wedding documenting those precious vows, speeches, and special moments with my groom but he also helped me to organize our first look, gave directions to our party bus when I was busy, helped calm me in a crisis with my DJ and even offered to email/call my DJ for me when I was in panic mode. Dan is a genuine person and it is easy to put your trust in him on your wedding day! So I say if your thinking about videography take the leap and do it and chose Dan to do it for you! You will NOT regret it.

footage and made a video that I cry at (in a good way) every single time! the quality is amazing and he was very professional! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!

or later. In the contract it states it may take 16-24 weeks. Some may think that is too long, but he is shooting 2-3 weddings a weekend so I can understand the delay. Overall he was great and made sure he understood what we wanted before he shot our big day!

involved and dedicated to capturing us, our day, and the emotions surrounding that. He was such an absolute pleasure to work with and his response time was unparalleled. The days leading up to the wedding we took about an hour to review everything and he really got what we were looking for out of a wedding video. The day of, he was amazing! Not a moment was missed and he recommended this AMAZING location for wedding pictures at an old train yard. Sounds weird, but it gave us this unique vibe that made for beautiful photographs that I never saw from anyone else. Dan delivers a 2 1/2 minute preview once he starts editing the video...and wow. My friend summed it up better than I could have "It's like watching a movie - one that I know has a VERY happy ending!" I must have watched this teaser preview 50 times and it paled in comparison to the full feature film. First off, the package was delivered in a manner that made it look like a DVD you would buy of a regular movie. Our names were listed as the "stars" of the movie, "The Wedding" and he got our bridal party, parents, officiants, and ring bearer/flower girl included as well. The cover of the DVD was decked out with pictures from our photographers and it made for such a nice touch. To say I was blown away would be an understatement and disservice to Dan and his so apparent talent. We were immediately transported back to all of the feelings of the day - love and all consuming joy / happiness. My face just radiated joy reliving all of the moments that were such a blur to us. That is something that I will always be grateful to Dan for. We couldn't be more pleased with the way Dan captured our day - this is truly a work of art that we will enjoy (along with all the friends and family willing to watch!!) for the rest of our lives. Make your videographer search an easy one...hire Dan and know that you will have your wedding day preserved with the utmost care, quality, and artistic flair.

aptured the day and its special moments perfectly and beautifully. And Dan was such a genuinely nice guy to work with. It was worth every penny!

t all and then some. Thank-you so much for doing such a great job again.

e our day enjoyable. He knew what he was doing and was all about making it special for us. We barely even knew he was there on the day. We are looking forward to seeing our video and we know it's going to be perfect!

ll. He used to work for Lifetime but now works on his own. We love his style of using the speeches throughout the video.

PERFECTLY. In our first year of marriage we have already watched the DVD 25+ times, showing it off to all of our family and friends! The final product was absolutely beautiful!

planning process I so appreciate the effort Dan made to check in and make sure we didn't need anything or have any concerns. He truly wanted to know us as a couple before the wedding and it made such a difference on our wedding day-- felt much more like a friend joining us on our special day.

as only been 3 weeks since our wedding but we look forward to seeing our wedding video!!

like what you find.
