First off, Riley is so nice and was such a pleasure to work with! We really enjoyed meeting him and working with him on our special day! In addition his pricing was more than fair, as we got a video, teaser and ALL the wedding footage for the price which you just cant find that anywhere else. Best of all the video turned out better than we could have imagined. I have probably watched it a million times since receiving it and it’s so special. I will have this in the years to come to always remember our special day. I am extremely happy that we decided to go with him and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone and everyone!
Riley is professional, easy going, & responds quickly, via phone, text & email (which makes this process way easier). We were so lucky to have had him record our Wedding Day. His work is beyond amazing. From the start, he was super communicative, listened to what we wanted, and was flexible on our big day, even with all the weather changes. Also, the drone footage he was able to get from our outdoor wedding was beautifully captured. His editing & music choice was exactly the “mood” we were hoping for. In the end, he sent us our final video in a timely matter. All in all, we are extremely satisfied with Riley’s work. As my husband says, “Best money ever spent!” We are looking forward to sharing this video with our loved ones & our future children.
Riley at SailingHawk was our wedding videographer in Santa Fe, NM in April 2022. He is an extremely talented videographer and we could not have been happier to find him! The video itself was beautiful and captured our day perfectly but on top of that, he had great communication prior to the wedding keeping everything stress free. He was also a very calming presence which was very helpful on our wedding day. We were not sure if spending the extra money on a videographer was worthwhile but so happy we did and could not recommend SailingHawk more highly!
Professional and passionate would be the two words I would use to describe Riley. There were literally hundreds of options for us to choose from and we could not be happier with our decision with Sailing Hawk. Riley’s filming style is unique in that he captures little intricacies that define the day and the moments. That is what our wedding day was all about, living in that moment, savoring the special day with my wife and our loved ones. Riley captured all those tangible experiences and projected them beautifully to film, so we can re-experience that magical day over and over. Thank you, Riley, for your time and dedication, your passion shines through your videos. Truly a work of art.
I would recommend Riley to absolutely anyone - especially if you're looking for a videographer with a drone! Riley is incredibly professional, responsive, has a really creative eye, and is just an all-around good person! We loved having him a part of our wedding day and even wanted him to just stay and hang out after. Something Riley did perfectly was capture our personalities in our video. Everyone kept saying that our video was so authentically "us" and perfectly captured our wedding. Thank you, Riley!
