This is super conflicting.
Video: Absolutely amazing. I definitely recommend videography for a wedding for this company. It did take a very long time, but it was really good at...
the end. My wedding was August 31 and I received my video rough draft the end of December. The only reason for 2 stars is bc of the video. This is a videographer company who takes photos. Not a photographer.
Photography: The photos were subpar. We had the longest package and we ended up with only 300 to 400 something photos and they had to pull more from screenshot videos to get more pictures. Our packaged stated 800 quality photos. The photographers were not good at giving us cues to help us move, resulting of a lot of “say cheese” point and click Photography style. One of the photos that were sent to us had a couch on the dance floor, which makes me realize that they are obviously edited with AI. They stayed throughout a reception about an hour or two and multiple times I saw the photographer leaning against a bar table on his phone.
Photography, for my wedding has been the most frustrating aspect of it, I cried many of times for the lack of great photos from my wedding. For eight hour wedding package the photos of my husband and I are probably like a good 20 photos of us. Half of my wedding photos they didn’t adjust lighting and I look like a ghost.
I had to beg and plead to get the rest of my package. I finally received my wedding booklet for my August 31, 2024 wedding about a month ago which was May 2026. I had to request it multiple times and I was always met with excuses from surgeries to work schedule.

We couldn’t have asked for a better team to capture our wedding day! Working with Quinsonta (aka Chris) and Ade was an absolute pleasure. They were exceptional in every way—working...
tirelessly in the heat and seamlessly collaborating with our other vendors, including our photographer, to ensure every moment was beautifully captured.
From the getting ready portion and first look to the Chinese Tea Ceremony, American ceremony, and reception, they expertly documented every detail. Their clear communication and guidance throughout the day were invaluable. They confidently directed us on what to do and where to go, making the experience smooth and stress-free.
Both Quinsonta and Ade brought such positivity and energy, which added to the overall joy of the day. We are incredibly grateful for their hard work and can’t wait to see the stunning results. We know that the video will be a cherished treasure for years to come.
Thank you, Quinsonta and Ade, for making our wedding day unforgettable. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for outstanding videography services!

matik to capture our wedding day. If you hire them, you will NOT be disappointed. 😊
I don’t quite know where to even begin. Demetrius did such an amazing job with our wedding videos and was with us every step along the way. My wife and I had given up on the idea o...
f getting a videographer because everyone was either to expensive for our budget or they wouldn’t provide a full ceremony video. About 1 month before our wedding I found Demetrius at SimplyCinematik. His prices were great, his packages offered everything we wanted, and most importantly his videos looked very professional. You could tell from his videos that he enjoys what he does by making very touching videos that families will cherish for years to come. He was very quick to respond when I initially asked questions and he was very helpful with everything. His questionnaire is very thorough and he covers all of the bases with that in order to get a feel for his clients. Over the next month we discussed what I had envisioned for my video and he was very accommodating. The day of the wedding he and Kami were simply amazing. They were so good and unobtrusive that I honestly forgot they were there half of the time which helped me focus on my big day. Their packages included all day coverage which was great because we were able to get everything from detail/prep shots to our exit and there were no hidden costs for extra hours and etc that other companies charge. We did have a bit of a long wait for our video, but in the end it was absolutely worth it. Plus we got married right in the middle of wedding season so that is to be expected. Demetrius did a fantastic job with both our ceremony video as well as our highlight video. He worked with us on what songs we wanted and was very accommodating when we requested changes to a few things. Both my wife and I highly recommend Demetrius and Simply Cinematik. Absolutely top notch service from a great company where they pride themselves on their final product. I honestly can’t say enough great things.
This is a top-notch photographer/videographer!
Initially, I was impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail. They use this snazzy portal to track payments, keep cont...
racts and communicate. It was literally a one-stop-shop. I rarely had to reach out to them directly because everything you could think of was covered on this portal. I was able to pinpoint my vision for photography and videography. I told them about tiny details and they captured every single one! When they arrived at the venue, it was like a team of people ready to work magic! They had an eye for the best photos, captured the most beautiful moments and romantic songs during the videos and did all this without even noticing they were there—and it was like 6 or more of them! Lol. I would highly recommend them for large and small weddings! You will get well over your money’s worth!
