Sage and Silhouettes

first phone call with Ace confirmed that decision. Ace has a warm and welcoming personality that instantly makes you feel like you have known each other for years. I can't think of a more important trait in a videographer because you are sharing some of your most memorable moments with this individual. Even better than his personality is Ace's artistic vision. Ace managed to capture so many special moments. We have watched the video that he produced every anniversary. The video is well edited with the perfect music and really captures the feel of our wedding. I love that he provided the "B" roll as well. There are so many little moments, like someone catching their first view of the bride, that just didn't fit into the main video. Lastly, Ace worked well with our photographer. I know several photographers we looked at wouldn't even work with videographers, so clearly there is some tension in the industry. But Ace managed to grab these excellent videos while still allowing the photographer to take the lead. We arranged for a limo to drive us around several locations in Washington, DC for photos and Ace quickly hopped in and out with the whole group. Ace seemed like he was everywhere all the time, while still remaining discreet. TL;DR - Highly recommend Ace based on his warm personality and excellent artistic abilities.

I was drawn to his unique yet classic style - his work is so effortless, heartfelt, and genuine. Working with Ace on the day of the wedding was a dream. He made us feel so natural and had so many amazing ideas throughout the day. We are forever grateful for the moments he captured, and and could not recommend him enough! Thank you Ace!

e filming so stress-free and seamless. I would hire him again and again for our wedding! No one else would do. Thank you so much, Ace! We are so grateful for you!

rk on his social media, we knew we wanted to hire him. We are so incredibly pleased with him and his team, they were nothing but professional and a blast to have around on our wedding day. We got our film right before Christmas and it was the best gift we got, looking back and watching such a magical day. If you are unsure about hiring a videographer, let me just tell you do it and you won’t regret it. Photos are great but capturing the emotions live and the love with your vows - nothing else compares. Thank you so much Ace, you’re awesome!!

him to film our wedding. His style is a refreshing departure from the overdone styles I have seen in wedding videos in the past. We cHis creativity and passion come through in our photos. He was a pleasure to work with during our wedding day and my entire family loved his professionalism and how comfortable he made everyone feel. I can't reccommend him enough!

having video footage, but our photographer enthusiastically recommended Ace and we knew from the initial call with him we wanted to work with him. Ace is incredibly personable and organized. He initiated calls and touch points to make sure all logistics were in place and we felt comfortable with the process the entire time. Our wedding schedule was impacted by COVID and Ace was beyond flexible in working with our new plan. As for his work, we couldn’t imagine our wedding journey without him. He brought the emotions of the day, our love, and the whole vibe, to life in a cinematic and breathtaking work of art. Our guests experienced this first hand, as we heard stifled sniffles within seconds watching our vow exchange that Ace filmed kindly prior to the reception. There are wedding videos, and then there are true storytellers like Ace whose work leaves you in awe. We can’t recommend Ace enough and would be happy to work with him again if given the opportunity.

absolute dream. He was also friendly and fun with our friends, family, and other vendors. We will always be able to relive our wedding day and relive beautiful moments he captured because of Ace. Would 100% recommend him to anyone and everyone!! No need to look further he’s the best.

y clear that Ace's professionalism and generosity were equal assets. Ace has a keen understanding of people and he uses this to great effect in his work - he took the time to get to know us as a couple (and individuals) beforehand and it was almost miraculous how well he was able to use that information in his work; some of our favorite elements of the video were directly tied to details we shared in our first meeting with Ace. This really comes down to Ace's unparalleled communication skills - while he made it very clear that he was able and willing to discuss ideas and hear our concerns at any time, we never felt it necessary because Ace was able to articulate a clear and thoughtful plan that integrated our feedback with his own ideas after just two discussions. In other words, he was very efficient with and respectful of our time -- not that we wanted to spend less time with him, but it was very impressive. On the day of the wedding, Ace worked seamlessly with our small group of vendors and was charming and professional with our small family, who also raved about him. The final product we received was timely and beautiful, as the cinematic he produced was an incredible tear-jerker, and the raw footage was stunning on its own. Ace was also kind enough to provide us with some of his handiwork as a photographer, which was just as impressive as his videography. Ace is just full of talent and charisma and we were so fortunate to work with him. We cannot recommend him enough to anyone looking for wedding videography and photography - you will not regret it.

ing, but that we selected Sage and Silhouettes for our day. Our experience with Ace from Sage and Silhouettes was excellent. They were timely and accommodating when it came to meetings about what we wanted package wise. We were kept up to date with what the day with them would look like. On the day of our wedding they worked well with our photographer in coordinating shots and clips. I would recommend Sage and Silhouettes to anyone no matter the event. Their professionalism, amazing quality, and attention to detail make them a company that surpasses the rest. The little things mattered to them - on a phone call months before our wedding I was joking about bringing granola bars to snack on before the event started. Ace surprised me with a whole box of them on the day, a joke made in passing that even I had forgotten, turned into a memory for a lifetime!

hoose him, and we are so glad he did. From the first meeting, to the “staged” day-of shots, to the candid intimate moments, he made us feel that we were well taken care of and heard. Would absolutely recommend Ace to others.

ite, but what he produced for us was beyond our imagination. We knew we wanted something simple, classic, timeless - and to say he delivered is an understatement. It's top tier quality and truly made us feel like we were part of a work of art. He captured such beautiful moments of our day and we will cherish this forever. The experience meeting him to working with him on the day and communicating throughout was wonderful. He is so personable and easy to get along with. Considering the unprecedented pandemic situation, Ace was flexible, adaptable, and documented our wedding without any hiccups. He is an outstanding professional and craftsman of beautiful, cinematic storytelling. E-mail him now.

his previous videos, I was 100% that I not only needed a wedding video, but I needed it to be done by Sage and Silhouettes. Ace’s work is art. Plain and simple. It’s not a cookie cutter wedding video, it’s a masterpiece that tells the story of your day in the most beautiful way possible. I have never seen anything like it (and I work in weddings) and tons of people have said the same after watching it. On top of being an absolute artist, Ace is easy and fun to work with. He communicates quickly and really works at getting to know you before the big day. I felt so comfortable and confident knowing he was there all day, capturing the important and often forgotten moments. Being able to relive the day through his work is such a gift. We will always cherish our wedding video and our time with Ace!

photos showcasing the world-class talent behind Sage and Silhouettes, but they simply can't express just how amazingly-talented Ace is. Starting with our initial inquiry, Ace immediately stood out from all of our vendors with the level of care and sincerity he brings to the wedding process. For any ideas you might come up with, no matter how crazy or complex, Ace will move the world to make sure your special moments are documented. On top of all of this, Ace brings an unreal level of responsiveness and flexibility. Things on our end were quite hectic throughout the process but Ace would respond to any and all emails in half the time it took to write them! Our plans drastically changed multiple times, but Ace's response was always supportive - rain or shine, he made sure that we knew he'd be there. After our wedding, we were still processing the events of the weekend when an email came in - with an insanely quick turnaround, Ace had somehow already crafted our beautiful film and it was ready for us to watch. We were in shock with the pure emotion and authenticity he expertly captured. It felt like we were in the moment again, spectating ourselves as if we had gone back in time. Every shot and every take was perfect, we could feel again all of the butterflies and pure joy that encapsulated our wedding moment. Aside from getting married, working with Sage and Silhouettes might just be the best decision you'll ever make!

ifully. He was so enthusiastic and really truly cared. The video is drop-dead gorgeous the full ceremony and speeches are just perfect. Ace is truly a master of lighting and color. He offered the full library of unedited clips from the day as an add-on and it is absolutely my favorite part. All of the little moments I missed or forgot about - all captured and forever saved. Even unedited, they are stunning. Imagine all of your favorite wedding photos - but with sound and movement. It takes it to another dimension and makes it feel like you're right there. LIke you get to be a fly on the wall with a memory that automatically uploads to google drive - at your own wedding! If the cinematic video is as beautiful and dramtic as les mis, the clips are My Big Fat Greek Wedding (people say some weird stuff). And I love them both so much. You don't have to wonder what uncle mark and uncle john were laughing about it that one picture- you can hear it! And Ace himself is just the best. We felt so comfortable with him from the very first phone call - I felt like I knew him forever from the first time we shook hands. AND he knows how to wrangle family and bridesmaids - always a plus - and get a room cleaned up in one minute flat. If you're on the fence, just do it. Do it for yourself in ten years. Do it for your kids. You can trust him. I know I do.

Ace was always available to answer our questions and he took the time to explain his approach. Ace was flexible and easy going which took a lot of the stress off my shoulders. We had to change our wedding date and he was happy to accommodate us. The day of- we didn't have a specific and detailed timeline so we expected our vendors to go with the flow. Ace really nailed that. He was incredibly patient and friendly. He was also very professional and found a way to blend into the background even though we had a small wedding party and ceremony. Since he has a natural eye for what looks good on film he didn't need any direction from me. It is really hard to put into words just how grateful we are. My husband and I wish we had more opportunities to have Ace at events. He made a lasting and positive impression on us and the final product exceeded our expectations. For context, I'm a bit of a perfectionist and my husband and I are both picky about film and photography in general. We wanted the VERY BEST for our wedding video and we got that. You can tell that he puts a lot of time into his work and the results are breathtaking. Seriously, find room in your budget to hire him!

d into a nearly hour long giggle fest of me warning him of my family and friends wild side. He is so professional but still warm and kind. He’s incredibly efficient and stealthy, and worked around all of the chaos that comes with weddings to get the perfect shots. Ace you were such a dream to work with, and we are SO LUCKY that you were able to be a part of our wedding day!

ms of our dreams! We loved it so much. We knew we wanted to work with Ace the moment we watched one of his films. It was much different than any other wedding video we'd seen at the time. What made it so different was how he was able to capture the emotion/ mood/ intimacy of the wedding. To be honest, I think my wife and I teared up on every film we watched. I don't know how he does it, but every time you watch one of his films, you get emotional and feel happy afterwards. It's a rare feeling. As soon as we got on the phone with Ace and realized how nice of a person he was and how willing he was to help us capture EXACTLY what we wanted in our video, we knew it was the perfect fit. We knew we had to hire him. And it turned out to be a great decision. He was very helpful throughout the whole wedding process and answered any questions we had along the way. most importantly, he also made sure he knew how we wanted our film to turn out. But the great thing is, we just told Ace the overall feeling we were going for in our film and he did the rest. He's so creative and you're unlikely to find this type of quality with any of videographer that's around his price (he's pretty affordable, too). On the day of the wedding, Ace and his other shooter were incredibly nice and professional. They worked so well with our other vendors and made sure that every special moment of our day was caught on camera. Shortly after our wedding, Ace emailed us and told us our wedding film was done. We were so excited but nervous at the same time. When we first watched it together, we were amazed. It came out beautifully and exactly how we wanted it. Both of us were so emotional watching it because it truly captured all the emotion and love from that day. We showed it to our parents who were crying as they were watching it. They loved it so much. Ace did a great job of balancing the emotions of the getting ready process and the ceremony with the fun/ party atmosphere of the reception. All of our friends and family absolutely loved it. Most everyone who has seen it has reached out to us telling us how spectacular the film was. My wife and I can't stop watching it, even a few months after the wedding. It really reminds us of that day and we are so thankful for Ace. This is a film we are going to show our kids and can really be proud of it. His video's aren't your typical cheesy and corny wedding films, they're beautifully crafted cinematic pieces of art. He's worth every penny... highly recommend!!!!

tement of the century. I fell in love with his ability to tell all different types of stories in such a beautiful and cinematic way--SO different from ANY of the hundreds of other videographers I came across. He puts his heart into his work, and it shows. Aside from his incredible work, HE is a great guy, so fun, easy to be around, and a very comfortable addition to what could be a stressful environment. ALSO, you don't even know he's there--in the church/reception he was so sneaky and totally unobtrusive (that was a big thing for us since we were very specific on the energy/vibe of the day). Honestly could not say enough good things--he was worth every penny and more. We are overjoyed we chose him every time we watch our video and think about our experience.

time. He does amazing work and I loved how he sat down with us before the wedding and listened to all of our wants for the video and executed it perfectly. I am so happy with how the video came out and feel so blessed that I will now be able to now relive my most favorite day. I would 100% recommend Ace to anyone!

my mind that he was the right person for the job. I highly recommend Sage and Silhouettes services for both photography and videography at the highest rank. His talent, patients and vision goes well beyond par of any other photographer that I can possibly think of. If you are in need of a photographer in not just weddings but any other style of photos then Sage and Silhouettes is right for you. I can promise you with the high quality that he is able to deliver will not leave you disappointed. We were completely blown away. Thank you so much for your passion and vision that you was able to share with us to make our engagement weekend memorable. Sage and Silhouettes 10 out of 10.

lms, they're beautifully crafted cinematic pieces of art. His process is very intimate. He took the time to learn about us and meet up prior to the wedding. We felt like close friends and not just another client. He's very friendly and approachable and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We're so happy with the end product, we love watching it to relive our special day. I'd highly recommend Sage & Sils to all brides and grooms. Thanks again Ace!

ersonally felt very comfortable with Ace’s approach and style throughout the wedding day, which helped keep me at ease. My wife had told Ace which parts of the day we wanted filmed, and based on his experience he made some different recommendations to us that still fit within our filming time-frame, which looking back we are now very happy with his suggestions and the footage that was captured that we initially did not request. I could also tell that Ace is very passionate about his work, was meticulous in setting up shots and footage, and would go the extra mile for my wife and I with any certain special requests. At the end of the day Ace was great at communicating with us throughout the process, a pleasure to work with the day of, and had a great approach in the way he captured footage. My wife and I both consider the work he provided to us as priceless to be able to look back on such a monumental day and re-live it the way he captured it. I’d gladly work with Ace again and would recommend his work for future weddings!

to work with. He is incredibly responsive and his attention to detail is more than appreciated. He made our day more special and more memorable than we could have ever hoped or wished. We are so fortunate that he was our storyteller and shared our big day with us. I can not recommend Ace and his team more - and if this review doesn’t say enough just look at his work, it more than speaks for itself.

ther than love and laughter! I still get teary eyed when I go back and watch it. Ace has always been a man of his word and remained friendly but professional at all times. I would definitely recommend Ace to my family and friends.

s a pleasure to work with and truly a breath of fresh air. I have truly never seen a better wedding videographer than Ace. You will not be disappointed.

. Thanks, Ace, for being a friend and a creator! We appreciate your kindness and genius. Thanks for making our perfect day that much better!

couple. I knew that Sage and Silhouettes would be a perfect match for our wedding. From the beginning, Ace made it a point to get to know my husband and I personally. We video chatted with Ace and had a great time getting to know him and telling him all the details about our life and most importantly the details for our wedding. On our wedding Ace went above and beyond and arrived very early to begin taking video. He spent the whole day shooting our wedding and we could not be more appreciative of that! Throughout the day Ace and his assistant were very friendly and outgoing. He made a point to make us feel comfortable and I enjoyed his friendly banter with my mom. :) It made getting ready even more fun! Ace is an extremely professional and talented videographer. Although we haven't gotten our video yet I know that it will be amazing!! We are grateful for all his hard work and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wonderful videographer!! Thanks for everything Ace!!!

ade. My husband and I completely trusted him to use his full creativity and told him to just do what he does best. All I can say is WOW! He delivered better than we could have ever imagined. As another reviewer stated, from the moment we met, we felt like old friends. Ace is so delightful to work with. If you do not book A Smooth Wedding, you're seriously missing the best photographer for your big day.

m. He has a beautiful way of telling a story through video and music to the point where strangers who saw my video reached out and told me it made them cry! Not only is his work amazing, but he was so much fun to be around! He made it a point to let our day unfold naturally and I never once felt that he was in the way or intruding. He captured so many special moments, it felt like he was a long time friend of ours. He also worked well with our photographer and other vendors and helped to make sure our time away from the reception and guests was limited. If you don't go with A Smooth Wedding for your videography needs, you're insane!

un-intrusive, we barely noticed he was there. Yet, he still managed to capture the most beautiful, intimate moments of the evening. The wedding film he created is nothing short of outstanding! Watching our highlight reel, you truly feel like your watching a movie trailer for the next big summer blockbuster.

erstood throughout the process. Ace also took time to get to know us, our story, and who we are as people -not just clients.

otographers to ensure that they weren't in each other's shot. All around a great experience.

iends, we found out that he did a friend of a friend’s wedding and they were very happy with their videos so we went with him too. Ace got right to work and captured the important details of our special day and more importantly the feelings of the day. He was like a video ninja throughout the wedding day. Our highlight video was utterly breathtaking and I instantly regretted not getting another longer video done. We love everything about it and his creativity, talent, and skills are evident in every detail of the video. I would recommend A Smooth Wedding to anyone and everyone, you will not be disappointed.

uly moves people to tears every time they see it and it will be something that we cherish for the rest of our lives. From the very beginning, I could tell that Ace absolutely loves what he does and he puts everything he has into his cinematography. He is so passionate and determined to get nothing but the best! Ace is extremely personable, an entrepreneur at heart, friendly and has an incredible talent. He is exactly what you would ask for in a wedding videographer and MORE! We couldn't be happier with our choice to work with Ace and we CANNOT WAIT for our wedding video because we know it will be nothing short of amazing. Thanks for everything, Ace!!

ocations that we had chosen. With all the chaos happening on the wedding day, he maintained his composure and ensured that all the combination of families needing a photo with the Bride and Groom were handled spectacularly. All the photos were bold and colorful to match the occasion. I highly recommend A Smooth Wedding for your wedding and any event that you want to remember in superior quality.

ch fun he was and how he seemed to capture every moment. We look forward to pressuring our videos forever and loved seeing some of the moments we missed. You will not be disappointed working with him.

aged to deliver it in such a unique and fun way. We couldn't be happier with it! Ace was great to work with, and I highly recommend him as your wedding videographer- he will not dissapoint!!
