I booked Evan for my wedding in 2021. The first thing that stood out was the unprofessionalism when executing the contract. The contract did not outline specific deliverables, scop...
e, or timeline. The actual shoot day was OK. The final delivered product was mediocre relative to the price paid. The audio was distorted and the video did not honor any of the elements we previously disclosed. Above all, the communication is terrible. Evan frequently ignores e-mails, texts, and calls. He does not respond in a timely manner. I have been asking Evan for select raw videos for a year and a half. Even after confirming that he would send them, he has not responded. Do yourself a favor and book someone more professional.
We chose The Love Select after witnessing their professionalism and kindness at a family member's wedding. Their samples are wonderful and they worked extra hard to capture the bes...
t moments of our day! They are also quick to respond to emails and flexible to help match your vision of the finished product!
Loved working with Garrett. Great energy and definitely understood my vision.
Found out about The Love Select through a family relative who also chose them as their photographer and videographer. Based on how their photos and video turned out, and looking at...
their website's gallery, we knew they were a great choice. The cost for their photo and video packages were affordable as well. This team was awesome! They made us feel comfortable on our wedding day especially for us who don't really know what to do or how to pose for photos lol! They were always quick to respond throughout the whole process and in the end we received such amazing photos and watching our wedding videos had us wanting to relive our wedding day all over again. We initially just chose the 5-min highlight video. However, we ended up adding the full day documentary last minute, aka the day after our wedding LOL. Every part of our wedding was so special that we wanted to watch our wedding day again in its entirety. They captured the best day of our lives so beautifully and we can't thank them enough. The Love Select for sure will not disappoint.
Husband and I are not super comfortable taking pictures in general so the fact I have a set of perfect engagement and wedding photos for us to keep over the years is no small feat!...
! Evan created a comfortable environment for us, worked with us throughout & helped ensure we loved every step.
The Love Select team was an absolute dream to work with on our wedding day. They truly captured all the emotions from the entire day and I'm so grateful we had this team to documen...
t all the beautiful moments. As I look back through all the photos and watch our video, it brings me right back to that day. Your wedding day will feel like it's going by so fast, so having a brilliant photographer & videographer team is a must! The Love Select did an amazing job guiding us through each moment, making sure we had photos with all our bridal party, friends, family members, and just the two of us. They were so good about having a vision and scoping out the scene to get the best shot. I didn't realize how much time you spend with your photographer & videographer throughout your wedding day, but it makes all the difference to have people who are fun to be around and make you feel comfortable. These guys were awesome and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you Love Select team!!!
Huge thanks to Evan and Garrett from The Love Select for being the best wedding photographer/videographer team we could have asked for! The entire process from beginning to end was...
super smooth and simple. They are great communicators and are very responsive, which is super important when there are so many moving pieces. They also made our lives so much easier on the day of by coming up with all the creative shots and working with us to make sure we got all the pictures we wanted without disrupting the flow of the wedding at all. They provided sneak peaks immediately after the wedding and delivered the rest of the photos and the videos in a very reasonable time. We were super impressed with the quality of the photos and the thoughtfulness, time, and effort that went into the incredible highlight video they put together. We could not be happier with the results of our wedding photos and videos and we owe it all to The Love Select team! Thank you, Evan and Garrett, for flawlessly capturing the wedding of our dreams!
We had the pleasure of having Garrett and Evan as our wedding videographers(May 2022), and we must say, they exceeded all our expectations! Their passion for capturing the perfect ...
shot was evident in every frame, and they went above and beyond to make sure our special day was preserved in the most beautiful way possible. If you go on their Instagram (IG: TheloveSelect), they even made a special Reel capturing a very special moment where I DJ’d my own wedding - super grateful for it :)
The duo was professional, yet approachable and super easy to work with, making my wife and I feel relaxed and at ease throughout the big day. They captured all the precious moments, big and small, and delivered an amazing collection of video clips that truly tell the story of our wedding day.
I highly recommended Garrett and Evan to all my friends and family. They are talented, creative, and most importantly, they truly care about delivering the best results for their clients. If you're looking for videographers who will not only capture your memories, but also make your day extra special, look no further than Garrett and Evan from Love Select!
Thanks again Garrett and Evan - we love you and looking forward to seeing you both at future weddings(friends / family weddings) soon :)

We are so happy with the entire experience!! Throughout the whole planning process they were phenomenal! They helped fine tune our timeline, providing ideal time slots for each pho...
to-op (getting ready, first look, romantics etc.). They were up-beat and hard working which made working with them a breeze. They made us feel comfortable taking pictures/video (usually camera shy) and provided directional cues when we needed it. Most importantly, the pictures and video came out stunning!!! They took extra time to survey the areas we would be taking photos/video before hand so they had some ideas when the time came (which I really appreciated!). These guys are awesome if you’re in need of a photographer/videographer! So happy we trusted them on our special day!
