RSVP - Russell Smithe Video Productions

ght video. Up to the date he was extremely organized and following he would continuously send followups while he worked on our video to let us know the timeline. Would recommend him to anyone!

ell and let me tell you we are so happy we made the decision. I spoke with Russell the week of the wedding and we walked me through the whole process and the day of wedding timeline. We cannot wait to see the final product and be able to relive one of the most amazing nights of our life. Russell was so fun and just a pleasure to be around and work with. All of our guests kept telling us how much they loved him and how nice he was, we loved even seeing him dance while working! That's exactly what we wanted, we didn't just see them as people we hired, we felt like they were guests at our wedding and loved having them there! Words cannot express how happy I am with Russell and the quality of work he provided. If you are looking to have the most amazing night of your life captured in a perfect way, I would definitely book him!!!!

so we can re-watch and live the day all over again whenever we want! We were even more excited when we got Russell as our videographer!! He is incredibly professional and made sure to capture all the big moments but didn’t leave out the small heartfelt moments either! Being filmed isn’t a natural thing for most people and my husband and I are no exception but Russell made us feel so comfortable, it felt like he was one of our guests just enjoying the day with us! He got the video and short clip to us in just a short few months which was so amazing! The short clip was our favorite part, he really captured the best parts of our day and put it all into a short few minutes we can watch and share with friends who weren’t able to make it! We are so thankful he was able to be a part of our day and help us to watch our best day all over again!

with and fit right in with the bridal party. He was on the dance floor in the middle of the action and it just felt like he was another guest instead of a videographer! I can't wait to see the finished product, and would highly recommend RSVP for your wedding!

g a phenomenal wedding video for them. He stressed that he tries to remain unnoticed throughout the day as he captures every detail and we think that he did an excellent job of that. He was so discreet that we didn't even realize he was filming us as we danced the night away with our guests. We were so blown away by Russell's professionalism, and especially the beautiful video that he produced of our wedding. I would highly recommend RSVP Video to any couple looking for the perfect way to capture their wedding day forever!

t than the typical wedding video - we asked for no song lyrics and to incorporate more speaking points from the ceremony and reception - and we couldn't be happier with the result! Our video is 100% everything we asked for and more! The videographer captured our day so beautifully while being completely unobtrusive and the editing team did a FANTASTIC job putting it all together! We would highly recommend them 1,000 times over. THANK YOU for helping us relive our day so perfectly!

ne of the best, but also one of the easiest vendors to work with. THANK YOU!

lity of his work (take a look at his videos, you won’t be disappointed!) Russell was a breeze to work with from our first correspondences to the day of. I can be a little self conscious and honestly hate being the center of attention, so I was afraid I was going to be an awkward mess, and hyper focused on being filmed all day. However this was the farthest from reality! Russell was patient, polite, and honestly blended into the background majority of the time that I forgot we were even being filmed! We received our short edited film about 4-5 weeks after the wedding, and I bawled my eyes out! I have never felt more beautiful, ever! His editing was impeccable. I was nervous our wedding song might be too slow for the short video, but he made it match up to all the clips perfectly and it was beautiful! Every time I watch it, all the feelings of the day come rushing back, so thank you! A short time later we received our full wedding video in the mail and I watched all 2+ hours of it immediately! It’s wonderful to see all of the little details play out that you might’ve missed while being so wrapped up in the day. I’m so happy I have this video to watch over and over again. If you are still deciding whether or not to hire Russell, do it! Best investment of my whole wedding!

of video so much that I was crying while watching a few previews of strangers films. Russ was very easy to communicate with leading up to and simply amazing the day of the wedding. Another plus was that he was good friends with our photographer which worked out well for us because all the more things were so smooth. Since my wedding day I have had many friends & family book Russell for their weddings, and got the pleasure of seeing him time and time again. Please don’t believe anyone when they say a video is a waste of money you’ll never watch it. My husband and I watched our video frequently the first few years. Then we had our son who is now 3 and he absolutely loves watching “Mama & Dada’s” wedding. How could a video be a waste of money when you can replay the moments of your wedding day and maybe pick up on something you missed? It happens multiple times while you watch i promise! It’s like being a guest and watching live. When a loved one passes on, you are able to hear their voice, see them dance, sing, and be present during that time. You can feel the emotion all over again and again. That is something you can’t put a price on. Please, Don’t look elsewhere just hire Russell.

ding until our video was complete. Could not have been happier!

highly recommend!!

o Russell Smithe He is absolutely incredible. He was so quick to respond to all my questions leading up to the wedding. On the day of the wedding he was beyond kind and captured every single special moment. We didn't even remember seeing him during the night but somehow he was always right in the middle of the action capturing our entire wedding from start to finish. We just received our highlight video last night and blown away is an understatement. He truly is so talented and we cannot thank him enough for the AMAZING finished product. We're so looking forward to watching the full video when it arrives. If you are second guessing hiring a videographer or do not know who to hire - LOOK NO FURTHER!!!!!!!!! Russell is the best and you will not regret booking him. I can promise you that!! Thank you so much Russell from the bottom of our hearts. You brought our wedding day to life and these are memories we will cherish forever.

, capturing the most amazing moments of our unforgettable day. Russ is such a great guy, and brought a lot of fun to our day. When people told us the day would fly by, we believed them, but I don't think we understood just how quickly it would go. When Russ messaged me that our highlight film was ready, my husband and I immediately sat down and pressed play. We had been anxiously awaiting the news that we'd finally get to watch what actually happened in that 12-hour whirlwind of love, fun, and food. We cried, we laughed, and we sat there in awe. We could not believe how perfectly Russ captured our entire wedding day in a 10-minute film. That film is by far the most important thing we have from our wedding. Having Russ's videos, (the highlight film and the USB with 2 hours of footage), allows us to re-live the best day of our lives whenever we want to (which trust me, I have done more times than I can count). To me, that is priceless.

the wedding there was excellent communication, We never had to wait more than a few hours for an email response. I would recommend them over and over! Thanks Russell!

day at the Liberty Hotel so beautifully! We purchased the package that included 7 hours of coverage, the raw footage in a full documentary edited film, and a cinematic highlight clip. The cinematic highlight clip was so perfectly put together. I could watch it over and over again 😊 It was also so special to be able to watch all of the raw footage and relive the best day of our lives. We truly appreciate their work. We couldn’t be happier with our experience :)

big smile on his face all Day! I remember pulling up to the church and being so excited to see him waiting out front for my dad to walk my sister and I into the church! ❤️ We watch our Video all the time, and now share it with our Kids! Every time we watch it it’s like we are Reliving Our Special Day all Over! I can’t say enough good things about Russell, he’s amazing and so talented! Any Bride would be lucky to have him Capture their day

rsonally and we have referred people to him every chance we get. He is just invisible on the day of your wedding but he makes sure to capture all of your best moments. We love looking back on the video he made and will cherish it forever.

nce and laughter throughout the day, while also blending into the background. Perfect balance! We received our video within the time frame and we really appreciated the weekly emails letting us know it was being worked on and when to expect it. Russell was great to work with and we couldn't recommend him more.

oncerns we had up until the big day. We love looking back on our full video and highlight and it brings back so much joy and memories! We highly recommend Russell to capture your special day!

in the video, it was perfect. We highly recommend using RSVP!!

gside our photographer seamlessly. We have already recommended him to our newly engaged friends!

we cannot thank him enough for capturing our special day in such an amazing way. Book him quick because he is the BEST!

tage of the best day of our lives, thanks to Russell. Thank you so much!!! Xo Stacey and Paul

id know they were there, it was because of the fun they were having and the passion they have for what they do. Overall the experience was incredible, but is nothing compared to the highlight video that we received, which so far exceeded our expectations. My wife and I would 110% recommend Russell time and time again!

such a great job capturing every moment! I would recommend all couples have a videographer and Russell is the best!

rfect person for you, that’s Russell. We put complete trust in Russell with the creation of our video and he went above and beyond our expectations. He was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding, on the wedding day and in the weeks that followed. I have already recommended him to several friends for their wedding!

highlight video of our big day to view for years to come and share with family and friends. RSVP did an exceptional job capturing everything from the really big, special moments to the fun, crazy moments on the dance floor late into the evening, to the florals and decorative details that I would never want to forget. Russell was incredibly thoughtful and methodical in how he pulled the video together, the flow, the audio (speeches and heartfelt songs), the specific footage that was chosen. He worked wonderfully with our photographer, making it effortless for us and our family / friends to truly enjoy every moment while capturing amazing footage.This wedding video is truly one of my most treasured possessions and hiring RSVP was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Take it from me, stop looking now and book Russell Smithe Video Productions for your wedding!

to Russ we knew we had made the right choice. So down to Earth and comforting. Russ really worked magic for us. He created a video of highlights that captured EVERY perfect moment. We still watch it and are ammazed. Don't pass him up if you get the chance to book him!

trade. Now, we have the best keepsake to watch with our daughters who have termed it “the best movie ever” - we agree

ct videographer for your dream wedding day, look no further. You've found the right guy for the job!

t!

rvice is very affordable and the video captures the feel and moments of the special day like nothing else could. Plus, Russell is the nicest guy- a pleasure to work with. The quality of the video and timeliness of receiving the product was top notch. Book him!

was on point at various month timelines and we were informed of any important decisions along the way. He captured our wedding day perfectly and worked seamlessly with our venue and other vendors through the night. The quality of our services for the price was unmatched. We were so pleased with the results and would recommend Russell for your wedding video needs!

ll is clearly very talented in what he does and we couldn’t have imagined picking anyone else to capture our memories

he beautiful moments from our first night together as husband and wife! Doing so on such a milestone birthday, and with so much energy and enthusiasm, was something we truly appreciated and will never forget. Reflecting back on our experiences w/ Russell, we would unequivocally rate him 10/10 stars (if we could)! From the moment we met him, we immediately knew that we wanted to work with him. He came to our meeting SO ENTHUSIASTIC and SO EXCITED to show us his beautiful work. Moreover, he was so happy/glad to meet us and get to know us, a rarity these days. Russell has a contagious enthusiasm about him. He really does! The love of his craft and the pride he takes in his work was readily apparent from our first meeting. At that meeting, he showed us the intricacies of his video style in a demo, displaying with gorgeous detail his approach to capturing an event. The ‘flow’ of the video was amazing and had my husband and I nodding in approval! (ps…The highlight video is a MUST have ). We were drained going into the meeting and refreshed coming out of it. As we left we thought to ourselves, “..this is gonna be good!”… and it was! Is Russell accommodating?? Well for our initial meeting, I called him for an appointment on a Friday morning, and he was able to meet us THAT NIGHT in close approximation to where I lived! Talk about being so helpful and easily accessible! He is willing to go the extra mile. And he is so down-to-earth; it was like talking to a family member. Russell puts his whole life into his work. There is no substitute for experience, and Russell has plenty of it! In reviewing our own video – this much was clear. He was able to capture all the minute details of our wedding while and make us feel SO SPECIAL at the same time. From the beads on my dress, to the chocolate fountain, to the cake, to the venue – he caught it all. And plenty of dancing  as well. The sound effects were outstanding and we were able to clearly hear our vows, the priest’s sermon during the Mass, and especially the speeches at the reception! If we had questions for him in the process, he answered them very timely and efficiently. His directions and guidance was easy to follow. We appreciated his clear, concise answers. As I mentioned, I recommend purchasing the highlight video that Russell has to offer in one of his packages. It is a 3-4 minute video that captures the essence of the day, to a tune of your choice. This piece, which I am sure took hours and hours of work, was absolutely mind-blowing. I think I have watched mine 60 or more times so far. Furthermore, we loved our entire package so much, we are even purchasing the raw footage that he captured as well! Overall, the video was incredible and had both sides of parents and siblings in tears and in hysterics. Russell, we can’t thank you enough for giving us such an amazing memento we will have for the rest of our lives. The day was an absolute blur to us, but with your expert work, we were able to re-envision everything. Thank you again and again for spending your 40th birthday with us and our families/friends!

nd take one less thing off of your “to-do” list & hire this awesome crew! 😊 You won’t be disappointed!

er!!! You will not be disappointed!!

l demeanor was very much appreciated on our wedding day. Sometimes an additional person in the bridal suite can add stress but everything was seamless. He worked so well with our two photographers. I am SO happy we not only decided to have a videographer but selected Russell to capture our special day. We can't wait to watch out wedding trailer and video! THANK YOU! :)

this day! It is so nice to have such a beautiful video of our favorite memories.

who “politely” watched) was in tears at the way he was able to capture all our specials moments.

footage of our day - he did a great job capturing moments as they happened - and an amazing video. I would say photographers and videographers are two of the MOST IMPORTANT vendors you can hire for your wedding - when the day is over all you are left with are the feelings and the footage from the day which will live on for years to come- Russell delivered and we look forward to watching our wedding video for many many years to come! I would hire Russell Smithe Video Productions again in a heart beat!

nice guy and great at his job. We hardly even noticed he was there (in a good way!). We can't wait to see his work :) He has been in touch several times since the wedding and we are confident that we will love what we see! Thank you so much to Russell and the rest of the 617 Weddings Team :) We highly recommend their talent for every wedding!

y!

all, listens to what factors/elements are most important to the couple in filming their wedding.

re Importantly how incredible a person he is! If you are fortunate enough to work with him, you are in luck! He made the planning process SO easy and helped me think of things I never would have on my own and the day of he made me feel like an absolute movie star! He is so encouraging and makes the whole video process so fun! We just received our video footage and it's pure gold! So many moments documented that we never even saw the day of and those specific moments like the ceremony and toasts that we just couldn't wait to see because the day of they went by in an absolute blur. It's so great to be able to relive that day and Russell's compilation is absolutely everything we wanted! He is such a sweetheart that we felt we were spending time with a friend, not a wedding vendor, and we want to thank you the most for that! You captured our wedding so beautifully and it is something we will treasure forever! THANK YOU

video is still talked about to this day (almost two years later) I would recommend Russell over and over again! You will not be disappointed! Not only are his videos great but he is a great person in general! I had no worries the day of our wedding knowing he was taking care of our video and capturing the best day!

ll checked in regularly with questions & reminders, and made recommendations on a timeframe that would capture all our important moments. On the day of our wedding, sometimes I would forget Russell was in the room because he was so unobtrusive, careful not to be in the way of our guests, yet still captured every moment. We were absolutely overwhelmed when we got our video back - it was perfect. Choosing to have a videographer was one of the best decisions we made through the entire planning process, and I would hire Russell every time.

deo is movie quality, it’s just absolutely beautiful!!!!! Look no further then Russell, he is simply the best there is!!!

moment I requested. I would recommend Russell and his Team to any couple who appreciates great work!

eir vows was so unique! The wedding was at the Atlantic Resort/Wyndham Newport Hotel in Middletown, RI

hen he expertly edited and put everything together, it was a pleasure working with him and he made us feel so comfortable! On our wedding day he had great ideas for shots, but was also so unobtrusive that when we weren't doing formal portraits with him and our photographer, we hardly knew he was there. The final products he gave us (full length film and short highlight film) were both incredible and I love having the short film so I can relive the highlights of our wonderful day over and over again! After the wedding was over and our photos came in, I found there was a moment that hadn't been captured and asked Russell to try to pull an image of it from our video. He did so and it has become a favorite photo of mine!! On top of all that, his pricing was phenomenal; a great value for everything you get! 10/10 would recommend Russell to anyone looking for their wedding videographer!
