About this vendor

Wedding Films That Tell Your Story

Based in Newtown, PA, Ries Video Productions is a wedding videography company. Films from this business are centered around the people who will watch them, wanting to create something with tangible emotions. The creation of heartfelt wedding footage is this company’s sole focus. We want every couple to have a high-quality, in-depth, memento of their day. Kari Ries, the founder of Ries Video Productions, got her first taste of wedding films when editing her own wedding video in 1994. She didn’t enjoy reliving her day through raw footage, and so decided to create something people would want to re-watch. Kari has been in love with the art of videography since she was a college student, and decided to turn it into her full-time career. She has previously worked as a cameraperson with NBC10 in Philadelphia, so she is well accustomed to working under pressure. This experience taught her the art of visual storytelling, a skill that is apparent in her work to this day. Kari can document weddings in Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Delaware, alongside her home of Bucks County. Wedding videos from Ries Video Productions focus on capturing moments as they happen. Kari’s style is discreet. She prefers to document the couple’s natural interactions with each other and their loved ones, rather than interrupt with requests for poses. The story of the wedding day is told through moments both big and small, all of which are tied together for a cohesive final product. Understanding the importance of editing, Kari takes great care with perfecting her films. She is hands-on when it comes to finalizing the video, carefully choosing a soundtrack and designing cover art. She believes that a wedding video is something that should be watched over and over again. She wants to deliver the perfect blend of emotion that keeps the experience fresh, every time it’s watched.

Kari was an absolutely DREAM to work with! We were very excited when we found out that she was local to our wedding venue in Bucks County. We booked her services about 8-9 months before our wedding took place in April 2023. Not only that, but her laid back style of videography was something we were excited about. In the early stages of planning, we were unsure of what do to for a wedding videographer but I am SO glad we decided to go with Kari. She captured our wedding day naturally and the final products were perfection, and certainly had us (and our families) shedding a few tears. <3 Kari was very detailed and thoughtful throughout the wedding planning process. She was timely with her email responses and was genuinely excited to work with us. I also felt that our styles/vibes complemented each other – something I was really keen on when selecting wedding vendors. I also love that Kari didn't overly script or pose us throughout the day, she captured us "in our element" which was amazing. We had a few "checklist" items like the first kiss (of course!!) but otherwise, we let Kari take creative freedom over the day. She was also willing to work with us on song selections and overall "flow" of the final video + the highlight Reel.

Thanks Emily! You and Nick were a dream as well! So laid back and fun!!! And not to mention you both looked gorgeous on the video... I definitely enjoyed your rock n roll theme, as classic rock is my jam... The most unique parent dance son...

gs ever! Enjoy your video in good health.

Kari was incredible to work with from start to finish. We needed a videographer fairly last minute and she moved schedules around to make it work for us. Our biggest want was just a video for the ceremony and about the 30 minutes before and Kari was the only person we chatted with that was flexible and let us do just that instead of signing up for a bigger package. The quality of the final product was also fantastic and exactly what we were looking for. Can't recommend working with Kari and Ries Video enough!

Kari's video beautifully captured the essence of our daughter's wedding. Every moment - from the heartfelt vows to the joyous celebration. Beyond her technical skills, Kari was a pleasure to work with. She was unobtrusive yet managed to capture every significant moment, all while making us along with our guests feel at ease throughout the day. We could not be happier with the final product and the memories preserved for us We wholeheartedly recommend Ries Video Productions to anyone looking for a tarented and personable wedding videographer

Kari was so beyond amazing to work with! She made our wedding day feel like a fairytale and stress-free navigating through a busy schedule. Our 2 sneak peaks and full wedding video were delivered to us very quickly and really encompassed all of our favorite moments. We could not reccomend Kari and her company more!

Response from the Vendor on 10/03/2023

Thanks, Erin! I was so thankful you asked me to film your wedding! (And be a guest, too!) It's such a joy to film a wedding when I've known the groom since birth! Enjoy your video for years to come! XOXO

My husband and I got married in October of 2022-thanks to Kari we get to re-live our wedding day over and over again! Kari has such a gift and we feel so thankful to have had her as our wedding videographer. She is focused and thorough, making sure that all of those special wedding day moments are captured. We are beyond happy with our wedding video and our day wouldn't have been the same without Kari!

Kari was wonderful to work with. She was very communicative, even when I was not, which I greatly appreciated! Love her video production and will use her company in the future!

Response from the Vendor on 07/20/2023

Thanks Kelly! You and Casey were awesome to work with. I loved your gorgeous backyard reception on your parent's property. Their gardens are amazing and everything was beautiful!

5/12/2023 • Sharon B

Kari and her assistant were wonderful and I can't begin to thank them enough! Our wedding video was absolutely beautiful and our family both laughed and cried when we watched it with them. I keep re-watching our videos because I love them so much. I looked at so many videographers before I found Kari's website and I am so glad we chose her as our videographer. If you are on the fence about hiring a videographer, I would suggest you definitely have one! You will not regret it! Now we have a beautiful family keepsake that we will cherish forever!

Response from the Vendor on 05/30/2023

Thanks, Sharon! It was a pleasure to capture your wedding day! I loved your beautiful rustic barn style ceremony and reception! And you and Nate were so wonderful and easy to work with. I hope you enjoy your wedding film for years to come. ...

We were turned to Kari by a family friend who used her for their wedding, and we could not be more grateful for their recommendation. From the first day we met with her, Kari worked hard to thoroughly understand our vision and expectations from her as well as learn more about our wedding. On our wedding day, she was a consummate professional - she was punctual, she blended in with the day, and she was incredibly respectful to us and our guests. Her finished product perfectly captured our wedding day, and we are so thankful we were able to have her. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a wedding videographer.

Response from the Vendor on 03/29/2023

Thanks, Kara! You and Jack were a joy to work with! I hope you enjoy your wedding film for years to come! Kari

Kari was very professional and easy to work with for our daughter’s wedding. She captured all of the magical moments of their special day. I’m so happy we have this video to relive the day over and over again! We were so impressed with Kari, we hired her for our Son and Daughter-in-law’s wedding five months later!

Response from the Vendor on 03/29/2023

Thanks, Laura! It was a so nice to work on both weddings for your family! Kara and Jack's big day was lovely, such a pleasure to capture. Kari

We had a wonderful experience with Kari. She worked with me to create a unique set of videos of our wedding, and even included tracks of the music from the wedding. She was energetic, collaborative, and highly professional — it was great to work with her at every step of the way. I highly recommend her for any type of video production.

Response from the Vendor on 01/21/2022

Thanks, Amanda! Your wedding was beautiful!

1/21/2020 • Amanda S

Kari did such a wonderful job on the video for our wedding. She highlighted all the big moments but also included some smaller moments that we would've forgotten about otherwise. It's really special to be able to look back on that day through her video. I get emotional every time! We couldn't be happier.

Response from the Vendor on 01/21/2020

Thanks, Amanda! Your winter wedding was so beautiful!

Kari, and her team, were absolutely incredible! She did the most amazing job with our wedding video. Her work went above and beyond our expectations. She was easy to communicate with, arrived promptly the day of our wedding and demonstrated a joy and passion for her work throughout our entire wedding day. Throughout the day, she made us feel comfortable, at ease and she professionally interacted with our other vendors. Kari is an incredibly kind, hardworking and professional person and we are so thankful we found her, and her team, to be our wedding videographer(s). We received our video very quickly and have received so many comments about the amazing job Kari did. Kari created a perfectly orchestrated video that shows the story of our wedding. Her attention to detail is evident throughout our video, which captures the true essence and joy of our wedding day. She did an outstanding job making the video personal and full of life. She created one of the most prized keepsakes from our wedding day and we are beyond grateful. We would happily and confidently recommend Kari to anyone looking for the best videographer. We couldn’t be happier with Kari!

Response from the Vendor on 01/13/2020

Thanks, Lindsay! You and Nick were a pleasure to work with!

10/30/2019 • Donna P

Kari and team were incredibly easy to work with! They took video of all parts of the wedding day and put it all together in a fantastic, touching video that will be a forever memory. One really great thing is that we barely even noticed that they were around during the ceremony and reception, but the video they captured was amazing. We were so happy with the final product, it took us right back to one of our happiest days. We highly recommend Ries Video Productions and would work with them again in a heartbeat!!
