Hiring Ryan Feister Films was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding (besides marrying each other, of course!). From start to finish, they were a dream to work with—calm...
, professional, and somehow always in the right place at the right time without ever being in the way.
The video they created honestly blew us away. It somehow managed to be emotional, cinematic, and totally us. We laughed, we cried (okay, mostly I cried), and we’ve already watched it more times than we’d like to admit.
Thank you, Ryan, for capturing all the big moments and the little ones we didn’t even realize were happening. You’ve given us something we’ll treasure forever—and something we’ll definitely be showing off to anyone who even mentions the word “wedding.”
We can’t recommend you enough!
What can I say? We just received my daughter's wedding videos back this week from Ryan, and we are beyond happy! The quality, and workmanship that have gone into the videos is beyo...
nd our wildest expectations. Ryan was so professional at the wedding, working hand-in-hand with our photographer, and they both respected and led the timeline exceptionally. Considering Ryan was at the venue for 10 hours, and also the vast amount of work in the editing process, he is amazing value for money. In my husband's words, he was worth every cent! If you are considering Ryan for your wedding, look no further, you will not find better. You will certainly not be disappointed. I highly recommend Ryan for any wedding - make sure you push the boat out and hire him, you will have years of pleasure watching his videos. I can't stop watching them. My mom in England wasn't able to make the wedding because of health reasons, and watching the videos today made her feel like she was actually there. Thank you Ryan for everything!!
We are absolutely thrilled to share our glowing review for our wedding videographer, Ryan Feister and his wife Jenn Feister! They were truly amazing to work with from start to fini...

During the planning process, Ryan and Jenn were incredibly attentive. They always answered our questions in detail and checked in with us along the way, making sure we felt supported and informed. We especially appreciated our pre-wedding phone call, which did wonders to relieve our nerves and made us even more excited for the big day! Even amidst the stress of wedding planning, we trusted Ryan completely to choose our specific video songs, and we were SO happy with the outcome—he perfectly captured the vibe of our day.
On the wedding day, Ryan was by our sides constantly, yet he was so discreet, you wouldn't even know he was there! Somehow, he managed to capture every single moment we wanted, making the day feel incredibly fun and light.
After the wedding, we were on the edge of our seats awaiting our video. Once we received it, we literally bawled our eyes out! The video was everything we dreamed of and more. As an added bonus, Ryan also allowed us to make any edits we wished, ensuring the final product was absolutely perfect.
We highly recommend the Feister's for your wedding videography! If you are second-guessing whether or not you want a wedding video, this is your sign to DO IT! You absolutely won't regret it!
From the moment we came across Ryan's portfolio, we were completely captivated by his documentary-style storytelling and cinematic vision. His work stood out immediately, and once ...
we connected with him and Jenn, we knew we were in the best hands. They made the entire process so seamless, kind, and stress-free—an absolute dream to work with from start to finish.
On the day of the wedding, Ryan brought such a calm, professional energy that put everyone at ease. It was clear how passionate he is about his craft, and his attention to detail was evident in every moment he captured. He and his second videographer, Caleb, did an incredible job covering both of our getting-ready locations, ensuring nothing was missed. Our bridal party and guests couldn’t stop talking about how they managed to be everywhere without ever feeling intrusive—it truly allowed for the most genuine, natural moments to shine through.
When we received the films, we were absolutely speechless. My husband and I were brought to tears watching them—the way he captured the emotion, the joy, the beauty of the day was unlike anything we could have imagined. The editing, music, pacing—every aspect felt like a real film, not just a wedding video. It’s something we will treasure for the rest of our lives, and we can’t stop rewatching it.
We are endlessly grateful for his incredible talent and dedication. If you are on the fence about hiring a videographer, let this be your sign: you will want this footage to relive your day over and over again (seriously we have been watching our films on repeat). Ryan’s work is nothing short of extraordinary, and we truly cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us such a timeless, cinematic keepsake!

The final films were breathtaking—the editing was beautifully done, and they really captured the emotions of our day, from the moments during our vows to the fun and laughter during the reception.

y beginning, Ryan and his wife were incredibly organized, ensuring that every detail was planned out perfectly leading up to the big day.
On the day of the wedding, Ryan made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. His calm and professional demeanor helped us relax and enjoy the moment, which truly shows in the footage.
The video Ryan shot and edited is nothing short of spectacular. It beautifully captures the essence of our special day, and we know it is something we will cherish forever. The attention to detail and the way he pieced together the moments is simply perfect. He also worked with us for specific requests and was very flexible.

I am a video editor myself) they were happy to oblige. I am sooooo excited to get to play with everything they shot!! The footage is absolutely beautiful and it is so fun getting to relive our day - both the moments that we remember, as well as lots of other little moments that we didn't get to see. I am so glad that we have this as a keepsake for the rest of our lives. Their work is incredible -- I cannot recommend them enough!!! Scoop them up for your big day if you can!!!

he best decisions we made for our wedding day.
Ryan is so easy to work with. He’s down to earth, kind, flexible, and willing to listen to your requests and do whatever he can to make them a reality. He got along great with the photographer, other vendors, and my family/bridal party. My husband and I both agree that he added so much value to our day.
When we got our wedding video back, we were in awe. First of all, the turnaround time was so quick. We got our video less than 3 weeks after our wedding. The video quality was amazing & he captured every single detail of our day perfectly. Every time we watch our video, we feel like we’re reliving the best day over and over. What a gift!
I would recommend Ryan in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a wedding videographer!

Ryan is absolutely amazing!! I cannot recommend him enough. His work is incredible. All of our friends and family were blown away by how well our wedding films were put together....
The films he created are like mini movies of our wedding day and it is so beautiful. Ryan was constantly watching during our wedding day to capture every special moment. He was truly everywhere all the time and it shows in our films. Throughout our wedding day, he assisted our photographer in moving props so they could both capture the perfect shots. Ryan was so kind and moved so quick to film every detail. From start to finish, Ryan and Jenn were wonderful to work with. They had a questionnaire for us to let them know which shots/moments were extra special to us for Ryan to capture. They genuinely wanted to make sure Ryan fulfilled everything we wanted for our wedding films. Ryan and Jenn were always quick to respond to messages and emails. They are both so sweet. Ryan went above and beyond to ensure our films were how we envisioned. I am SO extremely happy we chose Ryan to capture our wedding day!! The films he created are so special to us and we will treasure them. I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Ryan. If you are looking for a videographer, look no further!!

He provided us with multiple videos and captured so many great shots both on ground AND in the air via his drone!

I came across Ryan. I loved his films and after speaking with him I was sure of my decision! On the day of our wedding it was a cold rainy day and so I was nervous about how photo and video would turn out. Ryan was AMAZING! My husband and I said some of our favorite moments of the day was after the ceremony with Ryan and our photographers. It was relaxed and fun and just such a breather after a stressful morning! We got our videos back so quickly and Oh. my. gosh. My husband and I cried like we did on our day, experiencing all of those emotions all over again. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever watched and it was mine. The video exceeded every expectation I had and left me speechless. For anyone struggling to fid a videographer, Ryan is the best choice you can make. You will NOT be disappointed.

d up early to scope out the site (right when I was arriving, as the bride) and started filming in the most unobtrusive way, capturing small getting-ready moments. And then we got our final video - and we were SO HAPPY with it. He has a really beautiful eye & editing style, and we feel like he captured something truly unique about our day.
