First of all, this is a fairly long, detailed review. I figured that if you are reading this, then you are feeling how I was a couple months ago...planning your wedding, juggling a million things, and stressing about how you can make sure every...thing is PERFECT. Well, we were blessed to have everything go off perfectly, so I want to pay it forward and ease the minds of some of you...hopefully this review makes one of those things you're juggling (choosing a videographer) a tad bit easier.
Brian and the SugarPop team shot our Disney Wedding in April 2016. We got married in the Wedding Pavilion at the Grand Floridian and had our reception in the White Hall Room at the Grand Floridian as well. Originally we were thinking of using Disney Videography. Well, that would have cost us about $6k. Once we added up all of the other expenses, we realized that was not possible. We almost skipped out on videography all together, until we decided to reach out to some of the local companies. One of the best ideas I've had...
So...all I can say is WOW! We literally just received our footage a couple hours ago, and we were so impressed that we decided to write this lengthy review to let the world know that SugarPop ROCKS! (no pun intended).
Brian (our videographer) totally went above and beyond what we were expecting, and delivered the most amazing wedding video I have ever seen (though I may be partial). Not only did they capture the moment, but they captured exactly how we were feeling during each moment. We only had one videographer (Brian), but that was all we needed. Between the song selection, camera angles and editing, I honestly feel that SurgarPop (or anybody else in the world) could not have done a better job.
Prior to shooting, we spoke with Brian about what our visual preferences were and gave some examples of other videos we liked. While we appreciate some of the more abstract/artistic styles and camera angles, we really just wanted a documentary style video that captured the reality of things (with just a tad of the artsy style). Well...the SugarPop team absolutely nailed it. Perfect mix of everything we could have wanted.
Additionally, the packages they offer are unbeatable from a value standpoint. There is nobody better. Trust me when I say this...I literally spoke to about a dozen other videographers in the Central Florida area, put them all in a spreadsheet, and then narrowed the list down based on example videos and overall value. SugarPop offers customizable packages that fit every need. You get a top-notch videography team without breaking the bank.
It's crazy to us that we almost considered "skipping" the videography. This may sound corny, but the best decision we made while planning our wedding (besides picking eachother) was to allow SugarPop to shoot what (to date) has been the happiest day of our life.
TLDR; You want to work with SugarPop. Seriously...do it. Some additional advice...Enjoy the big day. It comes and goes SO fast that you'll wonder where the time went. With that said, you DEFINITELY want to find the right company to help you capture that moment. SugarPop WILL do that (as my spouse said, "now we're going to watch this every day, forever"). Trust me on this, and you can thank me later!
