Jason was quick to communicate when I reached out with only 2 weeks before my wedding. The featured videos showed great editing and consistency and made me excited to use Steady St...
ate Studios. The day of was a bit chaotic (classic) so I really had no idea what to expect, but after seeing the first draft (where Jason asked if I wanted any edits) I knew I made the right choice. Even without the tiniest of edits requested (only because of personal preference) the video was well crafted an captured so many lovely moments of the day. Jason also worked with me for a rush editing due to having several receptions where the video would be played - the first only being 4 weeks after the ceremony. Excellent communication and product, would definitely recommend.
The package was customized to exactly what I was looking for, which is a voice over of our vows while the entrance and day of events were on the video playing. They stayed for all ...
the events and captured everything perfectly to relive the moments for the entire day. It was all over so fast, and I didn't get to see what was going on elsewhere while I was getting ready and was in the moment so not aware of other things, so this was so great to watch all the moments they captured. I even loved the words of wisdom from my guests they did and the drone footage. It was all put together beautifully and great sounds, and quality and they made sure I was happy with the product and looked for feedback from us along the way to tailor it to what we wanted. I'm so thrilled with the outcome and will be able to rewatch it for years to come.
Jason Craig from Steady State Studios OUTDID himself with both the wedding movie preview and the live events. I would highly recommend both to have a videographer at your wedding a...
nd to have Jason do it. He was professional, let his work speak for itself, and somehow remained a fly on a wall throughout the day when capturing all of the most important moments. If you don't hire a videographer, I guarantee you will REGRET it.
Friendly videographers and responsive to emails. I am very happy I chose to work with Steady State and would work with them again!
Jason and his team were AMAZING! We were extremely picky with choosing our videographer because our wedding was made up of separate ceremonies/venues and the whole day lasted 10+ h...
ours. From the beginning, Jason was very responsive and easy to communicate with, which made the planning process so much easier. On our wedding day, him and his team worked HARD to capture all the details and keep up with the busy day. He captured amazing drone footage and we are so, so thrilled with the final product. We highly recommend this company!!
If you are looking for a wedding videographer for your wedding, I 100% highly recommend Steady State Studios! They were phenomenal. Specifically, I worked with Jason and Kevin who ...
were awesome! They covered every special moment of my wedding. You won't regret your decision :)

ace. They covered all the vital moments of our wedding and the final results were beyond our expectation. I would 100% recommend them
I stumbled upon Steady State Studios a year before my wedding among hundreds of other videographers in the Portland metro area. Their work was beautiful and I was instantly drawn i...
n from their drone work. I emailed Jason, the owner thinking it would be a long shot they were available, but to my surprise they were!
I coordinated with Jason via phone and email mostly and had such a terrific experience. Jason not only listened to my wants, but helped me figure out a way to work their services within my budget. We decided on a 6 hour day with one camera man, and signed the contract. Let me say, I am over the moon with how everything turned out.
Our wedding day came and Steady State Studios arrived early to set up and take b-roll footage of the scene. The camera man was so friendly and kind and made all of my guests feel like he was someone from our family! He had great ideas on shots to take, and was so great making sure he was in 14 places at once!
A couple months later and we got our videos back, it was worth every single penny. We opted to wait out the contract time for return, but you can purchase expedited editing! I was so excited to see Jason's email that I left the gym in the middle of my workout with my husband to watch the highlight video in my car!
Steady State BLEW my expectations out of the water!! I will cherish my highlight video and live events footage for the rest of my life. I can't wait to show the whole family and our future children one day. The editor did a phenomenal job parsing in sound bites from our vows and speeches, with shots of us, the ceremony, the guests.... AH ITS PERFECT! Seriously, this is the BEST videographer you could hire! They are flexible, affordable, and phenomenal at what they do. Thank you Steady State for capturing our day, we do not have enough words to describe how happy and blown away we are at the result <3
From the moment we booked Steady State, it was all so easy. Communication leading up the wedding was clear and straightforward, and Jason was such a breeze to work with on the day ...
of. During our First Look, we chatted a bit while waiting for the ski lift, and we got a sense that he is very easygoing and professional. For the remainder of the wedding, he blended seamlessly into the flow of the day, and I never once felt like there was a video camera in my face. When we got the video, the end results were spectacular, and we definitely cried!!! He included all the most special moments in the highlights reel, and the music and voiceovers were done beautifully. I can't believe I almost didn't think to book a videographer at all - in the end, it was well worth it, and captured those little things that a regular camera just can't. Stop hesitating and just book Steady State!
We got our wedding video back before we got our photos back! Jason was super quick and responsive from the time we inquired with him to the delivery of our videos. Kevin was our le...
ad videographer (we didn't have Jason) and he did a wonderful job editing! We had very few requests for edits and he came back with the edits the next day! We would definitely recommend Steady State.
The team at Steady State is above and beyond. We almost cut videography for budgeting purposes (we were sticker shocked by some of the other prices we came by), and when we found S...
teady State at a reasonable cost, we went for it. The quality of the films is next level - we got drone footage, beautiful editing, and we even got to pick the soundtrack. We ended up with several cuts and versions of footage. Jason & team were amazing to work with, and such kind, wonderful people. We just watched our essentially full feature film (1.5 hours) on our one year wedding anniversary - and it's spectacular. It's my favorite moments from our wedding. CANNOT recommend this team enough. Thank you Steady State!!
I came to the team at Steady State with a difficult request -- not only did I want a unique style and cinematographic approach to my wedding video, something I had absolutely no ex...
amples of existing in the real world, but I also had a limited budget, due to realizing later in the wedding planning process that videography was a must-have. Not only was the team at Steady State excited about my unique idea, they worked with my needs to identify the package that would fit my budget. The final product was exactly what we were looking for! The cinematography and editing done by Kevin really blew me away and captured my vision in a creative way. Sound and video quality were perfect. Thanks Jason and Kevin!
Jason and his team at Steady State studios captured my husband and my day perfectly. They got all the shots that we would have wanted and created an absolutely gorgeous video for u...
s to enjoy for years to come. We would recommend Steady State to anyone who asked.
Steady State Studios is the best vendor we hired for our downtown Portland, Oregon wedding. Jason responded to every question we had within hours and really walked us through the v...
ideo process and what we can expect. We wanted more of a home video look for our wedding and he did just that! He listened to what we really wanted them to focus and created our perfect wedding video, and the eye for detail with what he captured on our wedding day will be treasured forever. He offered drone footage for our first look which really made our day extra special. From drone, to ceremony, to testimonials and the dancing, Jason was able to capture everything in a dreamy way. Having your vendors flow with the day and still capture every special moment is very important. Steady state studios is punctual, professional and the perfect hire for as your wedding videographer!
Steady State is amazing! Jason was so easy to work with and was so flexible since we had to reschedule in 2020 due to COVID. He was quick to respond and helped in every way he poss...
ibly could to make the reschedule easy. His work was absolutely perfect! The way he edited the photos and the footage he got made for a perfect video that we will always treasure! He is very professional and knows how to capture every moment of the wedding. He is definitely the perfect choice for the perfect day!
I cannot say enough good things about this company!! We hired Steady State Studios do to our photography, videography, and DJ services. Jason was SO responsive from the very beginn...
ing. He helped talk me through all of their package options and decide which one would best fit our needs, and was totally flexible when our plans changed with COVID. Everyone was so friendly on our wedding day and made us feel completely comfortable. They captured everything so perfectly and got us back all of our photos and videos so quickly! We couldn't be more happy with our decision to work with Steady State Studios and would recommend them to anyone - they're the best!!
We hired Steady State Studios for our wedding on 10/10/2020 (they handled photograph, videography, live stream and DJ for us). The flavor of the wedding changed a lot due to COVID....
The team was extremely understanding and helpful as we navigated that. They helped us swap our original plan for a photo booth and did a live stream for us instead. With our package we got all of our photos and three videos (60 second Instagram cut, ~9 minute one, and the full live events video). All three were amazing and the photos were beautiful. We couldn't be happier!
We had a great experience working with Jason and his team. I would highly recommend their services! The footage was absolutely beautiful. The drone footage was extra special. Jason...
was responsive and willing to work with me on edits, to make it exactly how we envisioned. We have had so many compliments on how amazing the footage/video is. We will cherish this video of our special day forever. Jason and his team were extremely professional. Thanks so much!
Jason and his team were amazing! They showed up on time and knew exactly what they were doing! They were also very flexible with my wedding date because I had to change my date and...
usually others charge for date change, so I was very thankful for that! Also they are very good at responding back! I had so many questions and they got back to me with all the answers in a flash. Definitely would recommend! ☺️
Wow! Our wedding video was way more than we expected. I would highly recommend Steady State Studios! They were there for us very last minute and got back to us right away at all ti...
mes. Kevin and Jason captured every single detail of our wedding from the little things to the biggest moments with our loved ones that we will cherish for forever! I didn’t even think about having them capture a few of the important details and when we got the video, we cried happy tears seeing everything. Both guys were very behind the scenes, you hardly noticed they were there and we ended up with the most beautiful video I could have ever asked for. If you’re thinking about if you should get a videographer or not, DO IT! It is SO worth it and you’ll be so impressed when booking Steady State Studios for the job. We will be watching our video everyday for the rest of our lives!
They did an AMAZING job! So professional and the turn around time was so quick for our photos and videos. My family and I love everything they did for us. Trust these guys to captu...
re all the special moments you’re hoping to preserve. There were specific shots we wanted throughout the day and they captured every single one of them but they were so discreet, they didn’t interrupt any part of the day. The professionalism and communication was fantastic! I highly recommend them!!!
Jason was very accommodating. He listened to what I need and he satisfied all of them! He was very responsive and very caring. He spent endless hours with me on the phone and over ...
email to make sure he noted everything I wanted for my big day. I had real wonderful experience working with him. If you really want a person who cares, you won’t be making a mistake with Jason. He is your guy!!

r!
We hired Jason at Steady State Studios to film our wedding at Timberline Lodge in May. He did an awesome job from start to finish. He always responded quickly to any of our questio...
ns leading up to the day and after. When it was all said and done he sent us two separate edited videos. One was a five minute teaser video with music, the other was a twenty five minute highlight video. The quality and editing was top notch all around. We would recommend Jason to anyone looking for a wedding videographer!
We had the pleasure of working with Steady State Studios for our wedding video. Jason was very friendly and super helpful from the start. He was always willing to answer questions ...
and in a timely manner. On our wedding day our videographer was Kevin and he did a fantastic job! I barely noticed he was there and he managed to capture every important part of our wedding. When we got our video I was so thrilled. The video was very beautifully captured and edited. I’m so happy and I definitely recommend this company!
We worked with Jason Craig from Steady State studios and were very satisfied and impressed by his work. He was very timely in all communication leading up to the wedding and knew e...
xactly what to do when he got there. He did not need any guidance, as he knew exactly what shots to get and always stayed busy during the wedding doing his thing! We absolutely loved our highlight video he sent promptly one month after the wedding (he is a very busy guy!) and we were so pleased with how it turned out. We can not wait to recieve the full cuts of the ceremony and speaches that were given. Thank you Jason!
They captured the wedding perfectly!
Hiring the right photo/video combination was a bit challenging to get the package we needed and not something that was way too much. Jason was ...
very much a breathe of fresh air to meet at the site, make sure what was important to us was delivered, and at a great price. This was not the cheapest company, but they were worth every penny! Our images our stunning. Their creative eye captured so many poignant moments, all the emotions and they worked very hard the entire day of the event.
I could not be more pleased and more grateful that we trusted our special day to someone who cared so much about developing a great relationship.
Thank you Steady State!
Hiring a videographer was probably one of the best ideas I had for our wedding. I have always been the sentimental type, as it is important to me to document the special times in m...
y life so that I can have the memories forever to share. Since day one, I had been told by friends and family members that their “wedding was such a blur, it went by too quickly” and that they could barely remember what happened. With that in mind, I wanted to make sure that my wedding would be captured so that I could relive that day. I started researching videographers, and found Steady State Studios...I was, quite frankly, blown away with their work. Their portfolio of highlight videos gave me the chills, and I didn’t even know the couples! We began working with Jason, who was very kind, knowledgeable (he’s clearly experienced), and professional. The day of the wedding turned out to be a blur (shocking). From what I remember, I only saw Jason once, maybe twice, the whole evening...he was, no joke, a video ninja! I have no idea how he did it, but the footage we saw in our videos was intimate and from every angle. He also used a drone to get incredible aerial views over the venue...it was gorgeous! Our highlight video was STUNNING. I think I watched it about 20 times on repeat when we first got it! It had the perfect amount of everything (ceremony, vows, reception, etc) to make you have ALL of the feels...it was as if I was experiencing this day all over again. The full-length video was the same, and was truly meaningful as it allowed us to see the ceremony (and speeches, etc) from start to finish. My husband was wearing a microphone, so we were able to hear our sweet little comments to each other...moments like that are why we wanted a videographer. I never would have remembered these intimate moments otherwise!
I cannot say enough good things about Jason and Steady State Studios...it was truly a pleasure working with them!!
Jason was amazing. He took the time to get great photos and truly captured how amazing that day was.
Jason Craig from Steady State Studios was from beginning to end very responsive, always answering questions in a timely manner. He was professional and friendly, very easy to work ...
with in person and in writing! He was affordable and well worth the money spent and the time communicating with him. We had many people at our wedding commenting on how professional, friendly, and attentive he was! He was great with the children and the adults, and captured the big moments, while also tailoring the photography to the requests we had made. He was organized and showed up at the right time. I was a stress-mess when Jason showed up since I was not ready yet and did not want to make him wait, and he was so patient and calm and reassured me that it was fine. Jason did not make me or anyone else feel rushed, and everyone had a great time with him as the photographer. Our pictures turned out great and he provided multiple ways for us to obtain our photos simply. He was quick to get the pictures to us and we had so much fun looking through them. Very appreciative that we were lucky to have him at our wedding (:
Incredible videographers !! When their team came to shoot our wedding video, (my husband hates cameras), but we barely even noticed they were there - just like they said it would ...
be! He was amazed. Save for a couple of special "scripted" action shots that we wanted to make our video pop, they were nearly invisible so that we could focus on being there with our family and friends. They captured all of the important heartfelt moments of the walk in, the ceremony, grandparents laughing and friends crying, killer dance moves and our full party set up (we had a lot of special decorations) and the video told everything beautifully for a huge emotional impact.
We considered going with a more expensive service that would have been twice as much, but I'm super glad we chose to work with Jason and Kevin since they always maintained prompt communication, flexibility with our video edits, and an extremely high quality outcome. I would highly recommend them for everyone - top notch, very well put together video, and very fun people!!

After a friend videographer fell through, we were stuck looking for a videographer 2 months before our wedding! I was referred to Stready State through the Facebook wedding communi...
ty. They were very responsive, willing to work with our budget, edit the package just right for us and catered to our every need on details for the day of. The best part was they provided a clip video AND a full 1hr video for the same price or less than all other videographers I looked at. The day of was great, friends and family had no idea I had hired a videographer, he stayed out of the way but caught beautiful film. Final drafts of film were sent to me to confirm they were good and needed no changes, of course they were perfect and no changes were needed. The final product was STUNNING. My husband and I are so thankful things worked out how they did and will love watching the beautiful video(s) for years to come. I recommend them to everyone! Thank you again.

the venue on time and with a plan, so we didn’t waste time between poses. I believe is a big part of why we got so many fantastic pictures! Jason is very professional, and made it fun! He always responded promptly to my emails, and made time to meet in person with me and my husband before the big day to go over logistics. I can not say enough great things about Jason and Steady State Studios; I highly recommend them!

Jason was easy to work with, responsive, reliable and professional and our final product was wonderful. We would recommend him to anyone
From when I first reached out to Jason, the experience with them has been phenomenal. When it came to videography and photography, I was a very particular bride. Upon hiring Jason ...
and Team, I kept sending them videos that were super advanced and trending out here in Los Angeles. We reside here. We were having our wedding in Newberg as my husband is from Portland area. However, communication was tremendously important as all my vendors were out of state back in Portland. Jason would give extensive helpful feedback as to any of the examples I sent him and ended up supporting me with a team of 3 videographers, lead Videographer, Kevin, who was amazing!!! I requested many things and they really did all of it. I already received my highlight reel and I am just in love. I also requested a certain part of my wedding where my mother and sister sang some hymns and they got that to me right away. Side note: I really needed a drone for my wedding and they made that happen as well. My husband and I really appreciate all Steady State provided. So amazingly responsive and affordable for their superb quality of work!!!
Jason was great to work with. We had a tight timeline for our wedding, and Jason was able to get great shots under a time crunch. He knew what shots worked and was never standing a...
round trying to figure out what to do next. He was very positive and funny, which helped my wife and I relax and have fun. The turnaround on the finished photos was under a week, which was impressive. We're definitely happy with our decision to hire Jason.
The first time my then-fiance and I met Jason, we KNEW without a doubt he would be our videographer.
We both have crazy families, and were worried it would be difficult for a vid...
eographer to capture all the right moments, withOUT being Mr. Obnoxious wedding videographer (you know the type. "Heyyyy what do you want to say to the happy couple???") Coming from a stoic (but loving) family, marrying into a rambunctious and wild family, we knew it would have to be someone very, very special. Then we talked to Jason.
He quelled all my anxieties and fears I felt (spending months combing through videographer after videographer). It was like he understood all my concerns — he described his style as agile/flexible according to how couple/families work best. In our situation, it would be someone who was a friendly but otherwise stealthy "fly on the wall," capturing all our special moments.
Our wedding was crazier than I could have ever expected--I actually booked Jason for 2 days because we had celebrations extending into the wedding. Jason was communicative, flexible, fun, friendly throughout the entire wedding planning/day of, but most importantly: he was GOOD.
This month, when my husband and I received his video, it was actually my favorite wedding gift I'd received thus far. We were captivated at everything he captured.
The man must have had cameras/eyes everywhere, because he really was stealthy: There were angles and views that were incredible. I didn’t have to once ask him to “go here, do this, capture this,” he just knew. (also, I was really stressed :-)). And because Jason was so "behind the scenes," all the moments he captured were organic. No one was posing for the camera or telling canned jokes—he didn’t corner anyone for sound bites and he wasn’t obnoxious. People were laughing, and hugging, and supporting my husband and I with so much love.
Needless to say, my husband and I cried a few times watching our wedding video. It brought butterflies to my stomach and took us back to that insanely emotional and beautiful weekend. We are so grateful we got to work with Jason and recommend him x a million.
Notes to engaged ladies out there planning a wedding:
1. Get a videographer. Yes, I know you’re debating on it, but at the end of the day, videos are incredible ways to capture/relive/see your wedding in ways photos cannot provide.
2. Get Jason at Steady State.
3. You’re welcome.
Jason did a great job creating a beautiful video that we have enjoyed over and over for the last year since we got married. He was really easy to work with and so friendly. He was ...
so great about making our day so memorable on video. I would say he was even better than our photographer! He was really quick to respond to emails and made a very last minute change to the video.
