Perfect. Absolutely perfect. From start to finish, every single element was perfect.
Derek Marmolijo sent a questionnaire to the couple asking about things that are important to producing the perfect film especially for the bride and groom, which personalized their wedding memories, again, perfectly.
The drone footage, the music, the elegance, and most importantly, the overall flavor of this incredibly special day was fully captured by the artistry and precision of Derek and his assistant.
The film has over 1k views on social media in under a week after publishing. "Tears of joy" is the common theme in the reviews.
I give this vendor 3 thumbs up, 10 stars out of 5, and I'll throw in a bunch of cartwheels to express my absolute gratitude to Utmost Films.
Derek is the BEST. He perfectly captured our day. It really feels like we get to relive it every time we watch our beautiful video, which we have a million times. The quality of work is so top tier, it all flows so nicely, includes both the sweetest and funnest moments and connects it all perfectly. Also, Derek was super nice and easy to work with from the very beginning to the big day. Everything went so smoothly and seemed effortless, although we’re sure it is not and we appreciate his hard work so much. Derek and his Utmost Films team is amazingggg and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
