did such an amazing job, working their tails off to capture every detail of our big day. Both our photographer & videographer felt like friends by the end of the night. The photos we received are wonderful, so full of love, and she made us look like super models! The moment my husband and I started watching our highlight wedding video we were in tears of joy. It took us right back to our wedding day! If you’re on the fence about getting videography & photos, take this as your sign to do it, and to hire Toast!

r deposit and helped us through a difficult and uncertain time in the wedding planning process. We had Earl as our content creator and he was so funny and so nice and kind and patient. He was also so energetic and down with our families, craziness and fun vibes. I would definitely do toast again if we renewed our vows in the future. Not only do they work well with you and have great communication but the footage and videos and photos you get, a couple days after the wedding by the way, are so great.
Fast, fun, efficient, kind, and caring. Great vibes!!!
Thank you Toast!!!!

Wedding Films has you fill out forms detailing how you want your wedding video to be. These forms helped reduce a lot of stress as it helped us figure out how to convey what we wanted our wedding films to be like. Throughout the whole process when it came to collaborating with the team it all went smoothly. Overall, we are happy with the final product and are glad we went with Toast Wedding Films!

We came across Toast Wedding Films on the Knot and were immediately impressed with the quality of their films. Not only was their work great but it also fit our budget so we decide...
d to hire them for our summer wedding. Throughout the planning phase of our wedding, Zach was always available for questions and/or suggestions. Chris did an awesome job of capturing everything we wanted on the day of the wedding and we did not feel overwhelmed with the presence of camera crew. After the wedding we went through a few edits and Zach was always very attentive and made sure we got what we wanted. We are very happy with the end result and would highly recommend Toast Wedding Films to other couples looking to capture their special day!
