Aaron Markham
Owner
Hello,
My name is Aaron Markham and I am the owner of The Film Perspective. I have been telling stories through film for a little over ten years now as a freelance Videographer before starting my own company in 2014. After finishing my time in the US Army I decided to follow my passion for film. It began as a hobby and soon flourished into my own company. I love how films can capture everything about a single moment. You can practically feel the emotions in the air and I feel like films can move you like nothing else can.

whole process communicative, low key, and stress-free. The video turned out beautifully and as of this review I’ve already watched it probably a million times. Truly something my husband and I will cherish for years to come. Can’t recommend them enough.

What a great experience we have had with The Film Perspective! We contracted Aaron and his crew to provide video services for my daughter's wedding. Through MANY reschedules due t...
o COVID, location changes, etc. they were always responsive and reassuring that they are with us through it all. We are so appreciative of their kindness and understanding of planning a wedding during a pandemic.
Communication was excellent and all of our questions were always answered promptly. The day of the wedding the crew was on time, professional, super friendly and open to any suggestions or ideas we threw at them.
The final presentation of the wedding video was top notch! We are so happy with the product we received and would 10/10 highly recommend hiring The Film Perspective for any event!

Unfortunately, I do not have a video of my wedding to demonstrate the quality of the recording. I got married July 2021. I confirmed by email, prior to accepting the contract, th...
at not only would we have a live video streaming, but would also have access to the video recording. Due to poor planning, and missed steps to validate the recording at the beginning of my wedding, there's no recording. This was beyond disappointing since we chose this option to allow for family overseas unable to watch the wedding the ability to watch live. Then for those who didn't have the necessary access, to watch the recording. Several emails to the live streaming vendor where they confirmed it was in fact The Film Perspective's fault. We've received no refund of any kind for the mistake that was not ours at all. I do recommend using this vendor.

I, my husband, and everyone we have shown our video to has laughed, cried, and fully enjoyed their work. I could not recommend The Film Perspective enough! If you are looking for the highest quality work, and some fun, friendly filmographers, you've found them here! Thanks for everything The Film Perspective!

They were polite and pleasant to all our guests, parents, and wedding party. The preview video was stunning and fit the theme of the wedding exactly! Oh, by the way, it was early! The Film Perspective is worth EVERY DIME - have already recommended him to 2 other families!!

work with, captured the most beautiful moments during our special day, and gathered it all into our video that we will cherish FOREVER! We were so happy with the highlight video that we even added on the full length video at the end. He has several packages to choose from depending on your needs and budget. I promise you will not regret choosing them to capture your day—AMAZING work that he and his team does and he makes the process so easy! After all that’s what brides are after—you don’t want to worry about something or feel awkward during YOUR day! Trust Aaron and his team!:)

He responded quickly and was great to communicate with - we even added on the photo booth at the last minute too and I am so glad we did - it was definitely a hit! The guys that were there on my wedding day to film were amazing - they had fun with us and we forgot the cameras were even there! They captured everything we wanted and I can't stop watching our highlight film! Couldn't have asked for anything better - thank you guys!

ldn’t believe the day had come and gone so fast. Aaron and The Film Perspective crew created a spectacular video for us to look back on so we can always remember our special day.
As a bride, you have a million and one things to worry about. Choosing The Film Perspective was an easy choice for us to make and I hope you feel the same. We had a different company take our pictures. Both Aaron and our photographers worked great together, which makes things go much smoother the day of. I would highly recommend The Film Perspective to capture your special day, from the big moments to the little ones they do a great job.

y well. He emailed us template choices for the photo booth and was so simple and professional to work with in deciding which one we wanted to have. He was incredibly prompt at replying to emails and answered his phone anytime we called.
He emailed me a questionnaire to fill out and he didn’t question it or change any of his costs and there were no surprises after our first initial phone call.
He showed up day of our wedding and really didn’t ask any questions or anything he just gave me confidence that he was capturing what we wanted.
I have beyond thrilled with choosing The Film Perspective as our videographer and photo booth!

so than the ones from my professional photographer. I booked the enclosed booth and it definitely helps my more shy guests to give me their silliest pose, no judgement. It’s great. I highly recommend hiring them, you won’t regret it. The whole service was perfect. They showed up on time, very helpful with guests’ questions and requests, they tear down after contract time ended, no problem. As a bride that has no help from wedding coordinator, this is key. They asked all questions in advance of wedding to reduce stress the day of. Just perfect and I will hire again for other events in the future.

I felt this way on the day of, but I don't have words to describe how I felt when I got our video. Our highlight video is everything. The quality and artistic vision are incredible. Everyone who has seen our highlight video has commented on the incredible editing. Professional doesn't even begin to cover it. I'm a first time bride who clearly didn't know what I was in for the day and The Film Perspective ensured I will have a keepsake and a treasure for the rest of our lives.

In your debt forever!

nd was very helpful. When our wedding day finally rolled around, the videographers showed up right on time and busied themselves with shooting some of the venue until they came back to capture the remainder of the getting ready before the ceremony! We didn’t notice them at all during our ceremony (in a good way) and they were incredibly helpful during our pictures afterwards and the wonderful lady behind one of the cameras helped out when my clip popped during our outdoor photos! She quickly ran to her car and brought back a safety pin to keep my dress together. She was so sweet and I could not say enough good things about the experience we had with them throughout our day. I would definitely recommend! We can’t wait to get our video back next week!

all of the different family combinations of pictures to take, which I was worried I would forget one, but they made sure to get them all. Also, during the bridesmaids and groomsmen photos, they came up with creative ideas that exceeded what I even imagined. My husband and I solo pictures were beautiful as well. They have a romantic, yet playful feel. There was a mini ice cream stand near where we were taking pictures and Aaron caught us by surprise when he bought an ice cream cone to use as a prop in one of our photos! I absolutely love our wedding pictures and loved working with The Film Perspective. They captured every detail and moment and we’ll forever be able to remember our wedding and the loved ones who shared the day with us.

Memories...What can I say about Aaron and The Film Perspective.
Aaron and his videographer’s captured many of the memories of my daughter’s wedding this past June (2017) that I for...
got were there, or existed at the time!
As the FOB (Father of the Bride), there were SO MANY things happening around me, and I'm sure the wedding Party, too, that were taking place at breakneck speeds. From the pinning of the flowers on the Groom, Groomsmen, Ushers, Mothers, Flower Bouquets to the Bridesmaids, the huge Bouquet for the Bride, Father of the Groom, and of course me - FOB, and listening to the mini Orchestra and Choir rehearse prior to the Ceremony, what could I have possibly remembered without the Video being excellently produced by Aaron and The Film Perspective!
There were SO MANY wonderful moments captured by The Film Perspective during the Ceremony and Reception afterwards, that it's hard to imagine being without the video for all these GREAT MEMORIES!
Having a VIDEO of the Ceremony and Reception was much an afterthought on our (Mom & Dad) parts. From our first contact with Aaron and The Film Perspective, I knew right away that he would handle all those small little details from the start to the end. He was confident and professional in himself and what he could accomplish for the final product. I, and everyone who has seen the Video so far, would agree that The Film Perspective accomplished what they set out to do...provide lasting memories!
The Ceremony and Reception was such a busy time for all parties involved that we forgot the Service was even being recorded! Aaron and his crew were not even noticed throughout the entire service we forgot, completely being recorded! Yet Aaron and The Film Perspective captured everything AND more!
Run, don't walk, to The Film Perspective! You will NOT be disappointed by the professionalism of Aaron Markham and The Film Perspective! GREAT JOB for a job well done!

f the wedding, Aaron and two other videographers were with us. They showed up on time, were very professional, but also very fun to talk to and work with. Aaron even brought his drone to get some footage at the church (it looked awesome in the video!). They had the highlight film completed & emailed to me only a little more than four weeks after the wedding. I was more than happy with the outcome of the video. It highlighted some of my favorite parts, and they did a very good job of fitting an entire day into a four minute song. I would recommend The Film Perspective to anyone!
