"We cried!" is what our friends and family have shared when they watched our highlight and full wedding video. It's a testament to Sharif's incredible talent at capturing the emotions felt during our day (all in under 5 minutes, and 20 minutes!...). We FULLY recommend Sharif for his professionalism, flexibility, open communication, and wizardry at his craft.
HOW WE FOUND HIM: I stumbled across Sharif's work at our venue, and reached out to him. We fell in love with his documentary style work- no cheesey stars, lame music. Clean presentation, thoughtful editing, and the ability to film from multiple angles!
PLANNING: Sharif is very quick to respond to any inquiry. When we got swamped with wedding planning, he followed up, but was not at all pushy. Negotiating was a breeze, and we were able to customize our package to fit our needs and our budget. *YOU ARE GETTING HUGE VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY!* When I sent Sharif my timeline of events, he volunteered to come early, as he is very committed to creating memorable work.
DAY-OF: Sharif was on-time, flexible (I didn't have a wedding planner!) with agenda changes, yet vocalized what he needed. I actually didn't see him much, but when I watched our videos, he seemed to be everywhere!
POST PRODUCTION: Sharif kept timely communication. We received all our videos within a month, and our hard copies within 6 weeks. When I viewed his work, I wonder how he managed to do everything so quickly!
VIDEO QUALITY: We shot at our host hotel, by the Brooklyn Bridge and at our venue (Deity) which is not the most well lit. Sharif captured and edited the day with clear presentation, thoughtful cuts/edits, and we looooove the music he chose! Our videos feel unique, and we are so grateful at how well he captured the day. My husband also surprised me with a choreographed dance, and Sharif did a full edit.
OVERALL: BOOK SHARIF NOW!! You are in the hands of a professional and expert in his craft. Sharif's documentary style work captured an honest and romantic take of our day. We are SO PLEASED, and highly recommend Sharif to anyone looking for videography. PS: Brides, it's TOTALLY WORTH IT to splurge for a videographer. I was on the fence, but totally love that I can relive our day with the push of a button.
