Streetcar Studios {Photo & Cinema}

detail and how he even took us out for drinks before our big day to run through the wedding schedule and ask us specifics on what we were looking for in our video. He surpassed all our expectations and now we have amazing videos to look back on our big day! His communication, video quality, and professionalism is top notch. Highly, highly recommend for any of those who are considering Streetcar!

edding video that we can literally not stop watching. The way he weaved together all of our meaningful moments left us speechless. Every time we watch the video, it's like reliving our wedding day all over again, and we can't thank him enough for the beautiful memories he has created for us. Every single person we share the video with cannot stop talking about it. I hope he creates these beautiful videos forever because I already want to hire him again (for our future children)!

o work with him! The videos he created for us are priceless, as they capture memories of a lifetime that we will cherish! I definitely recommend him to anyone searching for an excellent videographer who is reasonably priced! Thank you Jim!!!

all aspects of the video and could not be happier! We have already watched the video three times in one night and now we can't wait to show our families all of the memories Jim captured!! THANK YOU JIM for this amazing keepsake!!

t in a typical wedding photography album. Feeling like we were there ourselves, even though we weren’t even born yet. So when my now husband & I sat down to start wedding planning, videography landed in our top five wedding priorities. After researching & watching (what felt like) hours & hours of wedding videos - we fell head over heels for Jim’s documentarian style. We found ourselves willfully watching one after another of Jim’s wedding videos & falling in love with these strangers' love stories. And that’s what we wanted - our story told. We are obsessed with the fact that Jim isn’t your everyday wedding photographer & videographer. And the 5-star reviews calling him, “a ninja.” (Which, by the way, we can confirm he is a ninja.) He has 20 years of worldly photojournalist experience, having been published in Time Magazine, Sports Illustrated, The New York Times & more. Jim is a filmmaker, a storyteller, an artist. Jim listens and respects his couples. From the day you hire Jim, he will ask you, “what is important to you.” For us, it was the people. We wanted someone who would capture more than just the two of us - but our whole village. And Jim did just that. His deliverables exceeded our expectations. We have a wedding film & photographs we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Hire him. It’ll be the best wedding decision you make.

) to what was important to us and the final product reflects that. We look forward to watching it at least once a year. We had the perfect day and are so happy Jim could capture it!

to say the least. Jim is very experienced and makes things so simple. Before wedding day, we got to talk to Jim on the phone. He asked us a few questions to ensure that he captured our vision for the day. On wedding day, he arrived early and got everything set up. We almost forgot he was there. He worked so well alongside our photographer. We were so excited to get our video, and it did not disappoint! It was exactly what we had hoped for! The mic makes such a huge difference... There were so many moments that you miss as a bride, and I am so thankful that it was all captured so that I could watch later on. He also understood our sense of humor and captured our personalities perfectly. Not only was the highlight clip amazing, the ceremony and toasts were way more than we expected. We did not realize that Jim was editing those as well, and they turned out so amazing! He captured our day from so many different angles all at once, and our video will be something we cherish forever. Brock and I would highly highly recommend Streetcar Studios! If you are on the fence about hiring a videographer, it is 100% worth it!!!!!

bove and beyond to discuss what was important to us to include in our video and helped make those dreams come true.

as so helpful, detail oriented, and made sure everything was set. Planning a wedding can be very stressful, and this was one of the least stressful parts of the day. He made sure he knew what my husband and I were looking for, and captured those important moments. When the video was done he made sure to email and call to check in, and if we needed to make any changes. I never felt like I was just a client, but a bride who got to work with a special videographer and bring my day to life. Just recently I thought I lost all of my video clips. Had a panic attack and was taking full responsibility. I reached out to Jim and he STILL had everything. It’s now backed up on several hard drives, but he rescued the day when I thought it was lost. Video clips are very large files, so I was prepared for the thought they were deleted. But no, thank goodness it wasn’t. Jim had them all! So my husband and I can relive the day. Thank you so much Jim. If you hire him you will not regret it. Personable. Easy communicator. Great storyteller. And finds the best way to create videos that showcase the couple.

s well.) Jim was very communicable and responsive. He answered thousands of our questions and was always willing to chat! He was very upfront about what his package included and when we could expect our final product. OUR VIDEOS WERE PERFECT. Jim is beyond talented! We were blown away by his highlight reel! He captures literally everything - sound, aerial footage, bloopers, sentimental moments, speeches, everything!!! And tells the story of the day impeccably. We asked he make a small adjustment to our 30 sec social media content and he did it so quickly, without hesitation. We would absolutely work with him again, and cannot recommend him enough.

work that looked 'the same.' But then I was immediately drawn to Jim's work when I watched his video work. I was drawn to his work because of his storytelling, the authenticity he captures, and how eloquently he pieces the day together in a beautiful, timeless way. He captures real-life interactions in an exceptional way- the way my mother laughs, how my bridesmaids danced the night away with me, and how sweet my husband and how it feels when he looks at me. He knows how to balance the sweet, vulnerable moments with the joyful, exciting, hilarious, and breathtaking moments. He and his team were so coordinated (we had his services for both photography and videography), that we almost forgot they were there during the ceremony and reception. All of his team members were friendly, efficient, and great at their jobs. His work is absolutely worth the wait- and it's obvious why he's in such high demand. His work isn't like everyone else's- it's classic, artful, and beyond any dream you could hope for your most important moments of your life. Jim was very communicative with planning and nailing down what my goals were for the wedding day and pinning down what were the most important things to me. Again- Jim was a dream to work with, and our videos and photos truly speak for themselves.

over! Right away he showed a real interest in getting to know us as a couple so that he could find the theme of the video. He met with us several times, listened to our ideas, and offered several suggestions for us on a variety of things - and not just wedding video related. He is personable and communicative - he was very attentive throughout the planning process as well as on the big day. Jim got there before any other vendors and he stayed past the other vendors - when you pay for the "whole day", you TRULY get Jim and his crew for the WHOLE day. It was amazing! I've only had our video for about 36 hours and I've already watched it at least 5 times...not to mention all of the other videos - including the entire ceremony and the toasts. The work he did is incredible - the images are beautiful and the extras that he added in (close ups of our decor, video of Crossroads outside our venue, etc.) truly make the film look like a Hollywood movie. I can't recommend Jim highly enough! When looking for a videographer, I wasn't sure what to look for or expect, but I remember being surprised by some of the slim offerings by other companies and people we spoke with. We went with Jim because we loved his personality AND because his package included everything we wanted - not just a highlight, but the entire ceremony and the entire toasts, Jim PLUS an assistant to capture more footage, and the full day filming. Jim delivers it all and then some! I can't wait to watch our video every year on our anniversary and to force our future children to do the same. It is gorgeous and really helps you to relive the day...which had been a true blur and I found myself not remembering much of it. So so glad that we found Jim and went with him. I'm so impressed and cannot say enough good things about him! We HIGHLY recommend hiring Jim for your wedding video - you will not be disappointed!

Jim was so great to work with. He took the time to listen to what was most important to us, and turned that into the most incredible video that we will cherish for many years to come. Many thanks to Jim and his second shooter. We were so impressed and highly recommend Jim to anyone looking for a wedding videographer!

e whole way through. If you're out there considering whether or not you should hire Jim, stop thinking about it and just hire him already! It will be one of the best decision you will make in your wedding planning process! Everything turned out amazing with our video and the whole process was super smooth.

uldn't even notice he was there! I can't wait to see the final product!

work with and very personable from day one of reaching out for prices to delivery of the videos. I can't imagine finding anyone better!

s before my husband and I met with him during our wedding planning process. Jim is attentive to your needs and desires as a couple and is creative beyond reason. He is able to see the small moments of your day, and portray them as they are, the everyday actions that make your love with your new spouse so profound. Because of the high demand of weddings in 2021, it did take some time to receive the fully edited films (I received an 11 minute highlight video, full toast, and full ceremony edits). That being said, it was worth every dang day of that wait!!! I am so happy with the end result that I am writing this review immediately after viewing. I know that it is going to be treasured for decades to come. The process of finding a talented wedding videographer at a respectable, yet reasonable, price was long and arduous for me and my spouse. Let my review amongst many others be the reason yours isn't. Skip the headache and hire Jim for your special day!!!

ly notice he was there and his goal was to create a story with his film. Jim kept his word. Our wedding highlight video displayed our personalities and our deep love for one another, flawlessly. As a same sex couple, it was very important to be treated as any other heterosexual couple and that’s what Jim did. Of all our vendors, Jim was the most communicative and responsive. We also really appreciated his transparency when telling us what to expect. There were no surprises (unlike some vendors)! Jim’s artistic eye when creating our video made us feel like he had known us for years! Highly recommend!

at we were in experienced hands. It was one less thing on our planning plate. You will not be disappointed.

ups and downs of COVID, several postponements and the stress, Jim was always so helpful and so supportive. Jim actually filmed both of our weddings & incorporated both into our highlight video so beautifully. Our wedding video has been such a hit with our families and friends & my sister who’s getting married is now also going to use him because she was so impressed. He captured my husband and I’s wedding days a o perfectly. I can’t even explain how well he captured our personalities (you need to watch the videos on his site to see how well he does this). Jim was also super understanding about finding a payment plan that best worked for us, which meant the world with all of our postponements and such. We chose the video package with a second shooter + microphone on my husband + drone footage. Would highlyyyyy recommend the second shooter because they were able to get so many angles of each moment and nothing was missed. In addition, I’d also recommend getting your significant other mic’ed up. There were so many funny moments and commentary of the both of us throughout the day & it was incorporated into our video sooo well. Our families and friends who watched the video were crying and then laughing and then crying again while watching our video. We have probably now watched our wedding highlight video 100 times since we received it last week. Every time we rewatched it, we caught a new detail making the video so unique. And in addition to our highlight video, Jim also provided us with our toasts in full and the entire ceremony!!! So amazing. This being said, We would highly recommend Jim!!

ld not say better things!

o answer any questions, met with us in person closer to our event, and was so great at communication the whole time. On the day-of, we barely even noticed he was there - he's that good! He was so amazing to work with and he gave us a video that we're going to watch forever! Can't recommend Streetcar Studios enough!!

th so much effort, planning, and anticipation that goes into the wedding- and then having it go by so quickly- having a videographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. And having Jim capture and create the wedding video - it’s hard to find the words to show our appreciation. He was incredibly friendly and thoughtful as we discussed the wedding over the phone. On the day of, we hardly knew he was there. There was obviously SO MUCH work that had to happen behind the scenes that went unnoticed. He captured our relationship in the most perfect way and curated the most special and fun moments of the wedding day. He is devoted to making the videos personal and touching. Our 5-star review is well earned.

ding into the event background. We hardly knew he was there unless he had to speak to us about something. The video was well-edited and he captured the atmosphere and emotion of our wedding remarkably well. We would recommend him to anyone.

ars but mostly I laughed my way through my video and can genuinely say it was the perfect representation of the day. He made sure to incorporate the most important parts after talking to my fiance and I, and I believe he really captured who we were as people and as a couple. Highly recommend 10/10.

and small details. He is extremely talented. Jim is also super friendly and easy to work with. He's a timely communicator and really works to make sure he produces a video you will be happy with! We couldn't have asked for a better videographer!

in love. The way he captured the special moments and the candor with the different couples, we kept finding ourselves coming back to his work. If you are thinking of hiring a videographer, Jim is the way to go! You can tell that he takes great pride in his work and his attention to detail shows in the highlight videos he creates. He took the time to get to know us thoroughly and what we wanted from this experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better outcome. With all of the uncertainty of planning a wedding during COVID, the communication was still great and helped us to feel at ease in such a stressful time. During the wedding, you hardly notice they are there, which helps immensely. Otherwise, we would clam up with cameras in our face and we didn't want that! We've watched the highlight video a couple dozen times at this point, and we're excited at the opportunity to look back and watch again on future anniversaries. You really can't go wrong with Streetcar Studios. Jim, thank you again for this incredible service!

be kicking yourself if you don't 1.) book a videographer and 2.) book Streetcar Studios. We cannot thank Jim enough for the time and effort he put into our video. He truly cares and listens to what is most important to you. We will 100% recommend to all of our friends and family for their future weddings. Thanks Jim!

board for any changes we had to make. We ended up moving our wedding out of KC and to my hometown in rural MO, and our full catholic mass ceremony to outdoors in a tent. He went with the flow. I worried about a million things, but I never had to worry about what our video would be like. I knew he would deliver. He got our video to us just over a week after the wedding, and it far above exceeded my expectations. It was absolutely beautiful. It was so clear watching it that he had listened to everything I wanted. I told him what and who was most important, and he showcased those things with artistic story-telling beauty. He picked the best parts of our priest's homily, the speeches, and our audio to make the perfect background to the video. My favorite part was at the end he put little snippets-- sort of like bloopers, of my husband and I talking, me bossing people around (which is a big part of my teacher personality), and us chatting with our family. He captured our day in the exact way I wanted. I can't emphasize enough how much he made me feel HEARD. We will treasure the video forever, as will our families. Jim is a story-weaving artist, there is no other way to describe it. On top of all that, he was one of the more affordable videographers we found. He was worth every single penny and some.

s post their wedding video that he had shot. I emailed him immediately. Jim was not only professional, kind, and hilarious, he also made us feel comfortable every step of the way. So comfortable that we forgot we were mic’d up! It was such a pleasure working with him from the first email to our big day. Our video was completely us. It highlighted who we are individually and as a couple. Aside from us watching it 1 million times, our families and friends couldn’t stop watching it. His lens is unique and after watching every video he’s shot, I can see how he consistently delivers that to each couple he works with. If you’re looking for a videographer- hire this guy. He’s the one! Best decision we made! Thank you for everything Jim. We will cherish this video for the rest of our lives!

is work, we knew he was the artist for us. (Fate also had it that the first video of his we clicked was also at the same venue where we had our wedding, The Timber Barn at Red Weston Red Barn Farm! We also watched a handful of his other videos just to make sure we weren't being biased, bc the venue location is gorgeous) From our first phone chat, to meeting in person, it was clear that Jim was already invested in making sure our wedding would be documented in a way the best suited our needs. He asked a lot of questions getting to know us, as well what was most important to us when watching our wedding video. My husband planned a surprise performance for me, that he told Jim about to make sure was in the video, and sure enough it's there! With different angles to boot! Jim is an artist, and the time he took to edit our video is so evident, because our wedding video is so special, and capture so much of the joy we felt that day. He was also very clear when we would have the video by, so that we didn't have any false expectations of having it immediately. Jim gave us a 2-3 month time frame (we got married at the end of the summer, so he had a lot of weddings before us that he was completing) and he presented it to us before the 3 month mark, and just before our honeymoon. So it was perfect timing! If reading the amount of time from our wedding to receiving our video seems too long for you, please know that it is so worth it. The quality shows in allowing the space for Jim to really piece together a video that embodied our day, vs just mashing moments together. We are so happy we went with Jim and Streetcar Studios, and look forward to watching our video AT LEAST once a year on our wedding anniversary. And if you're reading this, congratulations on your upcoming wedding, and as much as you can, enjoy this planning process. We know it can get a bit daunting and trying at times, but hang it there. You got this :) Just choose Jim, and you've check marked one more thing on your wedding to do list!

penny. Jim is incredibly talented and completely blew us away with our highlight video. He is so easy to work with and genuinely cares about getting to know you before your big day so that he can customize a video based on what is most important to you. He went above and beyond to coordinate audio/video with our DJ/venue and other vendors- we did not have to worry a single thing the day of. I honestly hardly noticed he was there all day, yet he was able to capture every single moment so intimately. If I could do it all over again, Jim would be the first vendor I would call 10/10 times.

t in mind. He was by far our favorite vendor to work with, and believe me when I say we had some amazing vendors. The feedback and ideas he provided were invaluable and truly made our day stress-free. Not to mention, we are blown away by the final product. It is all just so perfect!! Jim - Thank you so much for giving us such a special gift that we can cherish for a lifetime. You are the best!

that comes with it. The team that came on our wedding day was extremely friendly AND INVISIBLE! They were truly able to capture the beauty and magic of our unforgettable day. We will cherish these photos and video for years to come! Thank you again, Jim. 5 Stars from me!!!

room?! They highlight film captured the true essence of our wedding and personalities. It will be something we cherish for many years to come. Thank you, Jim!

ry cautious with selecting a videographer, but our first meeting with Jim quickly put all our worries at ease. Jim was extremely aware and detailed every step of the way. At times it felt like he was the wedding coordinator (and I mean this in the most positive way possible), reaching out to our other vendors to ensure cohesiveness and all coordination possible was complete before the big day. Jim was very attentive to our personal opinions, concerns, emotions, and made sure to always have an open ear when we had questions. Jim captured our day in a way I never imagined possible. Every time we watch our video we can feel every emotion from that day rush to our hearts...it gives us butterflies! Jim was beyond professional and courteous!

n, organized, out of the way but there to capture everything. I highly recommend the video package as well. The highlight video is an amazing piece to remember your wedding by.

re putting in him and was committed to serving us in the best possible way. We appreciated his professionalism and ease in his communication throughout our entire experience. Once we were able to get our eyes on the completed video/footage, we were blown away! Jim's attention to detail was outstanding. He listened to our wishes, and created a true masterpiece. Everything from the music being perfectly timed, to the wordplay he chose, and the flow of the video was off the charts wonderful. We feel so lucky to have Jim's amazing work as a memory for the rest of our lives and would highly recommend him for any/all events!

eo had us tearing up within 2 minutes, ha! He does incredibly meaningful work. We booked Streetcar studios for our wedding day, and it was a great experience throughout the process. We have decided it was one of the best investments we made in our wedding budget planning because his videos of our day will be the memories we can relive throughout our lives and share with our own family. Jim is attentive to every, single detail. His videography isn’t just a recording of the events, but a creative interweaving of all of the emotions, words spoken, laughs shared, love held throughout the day. I felt like we watched the movie trailer to our wedding day!!! He captures all the story and history of your relationship during meetings prior to the day, so you really feel like he is a part of the tribe for the big day! Jim was everywhere and “nowhere” during the day. Meaning he captured everything, yet we feel like we hardly saw him because he was very tactful in how he set up so we weren’t distracted by cameras and such. Definitely will be recommending Streetcar studios to all of our friends and family. Thank you, Jim!

is passionate about his work, and his passion clearly shows in the final product. Our wedding film is phenomenal and we are amazed at how he pulled all of the footage, including the tiniest details, together to tell our story! Jim and his second shooter, Jill, were very professional and made us and our wedding party feel comfortable throughout our wedding day. We received SO MANY compliments on how creative and awesome our wedding film is... it perfectly captures all of the emotions and details of our big day!

n every sense of the word. I can't stop looking at my work. The video and photos that he documented are very personal to me. Maybe not to the people who attended? But they are to me. They're unique and almost private...but Jim was discreet. Jim deserves my first review ever. Thank you for being apart of my day.

ur personalities perfectly. One of the reasons I chose Streetcar Studios was because the groom had a mic on for most of the day and that added something to the videos that many others were missing. Not to mention the outtakes at the end. I will never regret hiring a videographer and I think every couple who is on the edge should! We also feared that we wouldn't have many photos as we didn't allot ourselves much time, but we were wrong! I strongly recommend Streetcar Studios!

iding our day and making sure we had enough time to celebrate with friends an family along with capturing all of great moments of the day. Jim was had a professional calm during against our crazy schedule. Hire Streetcar Studios!
