ValCinema was wonderful to work with for our wedding day. We contracted ValCinema for a videography package with drone footage and two videographers and they blew it out of the water! While I was a bit concerned about the fact that they subcontract their videographers depending on the area of your venue, ValCinema had everything handled. When our videographers arrived on wedding day, they were kind, funny and worked seamlessly with my photographers. It's clear that ValCinema only hires the very best! They were in constant communication with me throughout the entire process, making sure every detail was perfect. I was able to select music, make editing suggestions and describe my vision so their editors could deliver the perfect video product. When my family watched the 6 minute highlight reel, everyone cried all over again because they captured the day as if we were there- which is EXACTLY the authentic, unscripted feel we were hoping for. If you are on the fence about booking ValCinema, just know that their team will make sure your vision becomes a reality-and if it isn't right the first time, they will do anything in their power to make it perfect! Hard to come by such good customer service and genuinely kind people like Sarah and Shawn at ValCinema!

I used ValCinema for videography for my wedding in October and I would do it again! To start, the entire booking process was very easy and informative. Michael, the videographer that was sent to film our wedding day was super kind and easy going and did an excellent job capturing all the important shots. We recently got our wedding video back and it was perfect. I highly recommend ValCinema!

We chose ValCinema to shoot our wedding video. Our videographer from ValCinema was incredible to work with! We are currently waiting for our 3 minute highlight reel, but we truly can't wait! He made sure to try and capture all the important parts of the day, especially the details of everything! Working with ValCinema was honestly a breeze and so professional. We highly recommend hiring them for your big day!

Sarah and Shawn (Owners) were an absolute pleasure to partner with throughout the duration of our April 2024 wedding planning. They were always available to answer questions, or walk us through expectations. They stand true to their promise by providing back up team members if emergencies happen! Chavais (Videographer) and Sara (back-up photographer) were such a pleasure to partner with. They gave suggestions, and were open to real time feedback. Our video was priceless!!!
I love how Valcinema's price and offer listing is comprehensive and is flexible. We were able to add different A la cart items to our package, even after our special day. My only suggestion if booking is to ask for the true set-up recommendations and education on what amount of photographers and videographers will truly be needed to make your experience the most magical based on the size of your wedding. Sarah and Shawn want to ensure all your needs will be met for your special day while keeping in mind the price point but sometimes depending on how grandiose your vision is, you may need to add more support (i.e photographers/Video to capture every moment. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEIR SERVICES. They give amazing bundle deals as well!

"Everyone deserves to remember their wedding" is what ValCinema advertises, yet utterly failed to deliver on. I am painfully reminded every time I go to a wedding.
There are particularly precious moments in a wedding. For us, none of those moments - the processional, recessional, and speeches - were properly captured. We shared a short list of the important moments to capture and it's like ValCinema used it as a checklist of things to avoid.
I've shared this review with the owner and he said he used our video (as what not to do) to train staff for the future. But unfortunately for us, nothing can make up for the moments that the videographer failed to capture.

Hello Rachel! Congratulations as you are coming up on your 3 year Wedding Anniversary! āØāØT...
hank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are truly disheartened to hear about the negative experience you had with our services back in 2021. Soon after your Wedding, ValCinema had a change in ownership.
āØ
We want you to know that we took your concerns seriously and tried our best to address them by offering a partial refund, providing you with all the Raw Footage at no cost to you, and reediting your film. It is disappointing to learn that these efforts did not fully rectify the situation or meet your expectations.āØ
Customer satisfaction is of utmost importance to us, and we strive to learn and improve from every interaction. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us understand where we fell short and how we can prevent similar issues in the future.āØāØThank you for your time.

We worked with ValCinema on our wedding day back in March. Leading up to the wedding, our operations manager Sarah was communicative and answered any questions we had as we planned for the big day. Our videographer, Clayton, was professional, efficient, and captured the wedding beautifully. We are so pleased with the way our videos turned out (we opted for a highlight video and a full video of the ceremony); they are just beautiful and capture the day so well! ValCinema also provided us with copies of all of the raw footage from the day, which has been so fun to go through. There are so many moments we either forgot about or didnāt see that we now have on film and can cherish forever. We canāt thank ValCinema enough for so beautifully and thoroughly documenting our wedding!

We had ValCinema for our small wedding and they were amazing. I know nothing about photography or videography so I didn't even know what I should be asking for but they gave me options and explained everything to me. They are professional but laid back in a way that made us super comfortable and obviously have a ton of resources which makes you feel as if you don't have to worry about much. Then obviously we received our video and pictures and they are AMAZING. It was great I would recommend them to anyone!! -Keah&Jack

Working with ValCinema was amazing! I was back and forth on hiring a videographer, and I have zero regrets. Dustin was very professional and guided my husband and I- which I very much appreciated because we are very awkward and didnāt plan video well lol. My initial video was GORGEOUS. The only reason I asked for an edit was because I wanted my uncles speech added to it. The edit was no charge and came SO much faster than they said it would. My new video is flawless. My ONLY regret is not using them for photography as well. I absolutely recommend ValCinema!

Please beware when booking this vendor. We had the most poor quality raw footage delivered (we only purchased raw footage). The footage was awful quality, shot through windows, on a tripod & our photographer brought what seemed like her son as her āassistantā and he opted to eat the bridal suite foot and wore a quick silver t-shirt, while the photographer herself was pretty rude to the other vendor and in the way of our photographer. Overall they were unprofessional, rude and delivered very poor quality footage. The only plus about ValCinema was that they agreed with us and gave us a full refund. Unfortunately, we cannot relive our day and get that footage back so itās pretty heartbreaking.

isheartening to hear that the raw footage delivered did not meet your expectations and that the overall quality fell short of what we aim to provide here at ValCinema. We had hoped to be more involved in the logistics phone call prior to the wedding day to get a better understanding of what was envisioned.
- We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, as it allows us to address areas that require improvement and ensure a better experience for our future clients. Your concerns regarding the professionalism of our team members have been duly noted, we have conducted an internal review and have decided to part ways with said Team Member, ensuring to prevent such instances in the future. We have also put new systems and standards in place to keep us aware of any personal assistants that may be attending.
- We are grateful for your understanding and would like to express our gratitude for allowing us the opportunity to make amends. We are fully committed to our customers satisfaction and finding an adequate resolution, which for you we believe we have. We apologize again and thank you again for your feedback. Wishing you & Connor the best for years to come :)

If you were looking for the definition of a mixed review, you got it. To start, we did the smallest package and paid extra for a fully edited ceremony video because our wedding took place within the context of a catholic mass and we wanted the whole thing captured. The reason for only 3/5 stars comes with several factors. First, both guys most likely have never shot a Catholic wedding (or so it seemed). They showed up to the church in hoodies and jeans, which is definitely not the dress code for a wedding let alone one at a church. My photographer, who is someone I have known personally for a very long time, said one of the guys was a little more difficult to work with. Like he thought his work was the only work that mattered. The highlight reel turned out great. We loved it. The ceremony video was just ok. There was this filter on it that really dulled down the colors and kind of took away from the vibrancy and warmth of the church. But I understand the vibe they were going for. Old family style video. But thatās interesting because one of my cousins makes home videos of family events with an old handheld video camera and with no editing, the colors were normal. The company allow small changes within a month of the delivery date, so when I asked about it (a couple days late to be honest), I was told I misunderstood the agreement. I didnāt realize that the revision was only for the highlight reel, so I was a little sad that we paid hundreds extra for it to look funny. The sound quality was also a little funky and I get that was probably because were in a church and itās echoey. But even my cousins old video camera from the 90s didnāt have audio issues with no editing. A very redeeming quality about this company was when there was a mix up about the location for photos, (the location switched day of due to weather, our photographer tried to tell them where do go, they didnāt listen and missed the photos), they went and took extra shots for the highlight reel at the reception hall which was nice on their part. Overall, not overly ecstatic about the finished product, but the day of, the guys were very nice and I donāt regret hiring them. The biggest thing was I just wish the filter on our ceremony video was removed, especially since we paid hundreds extra for it.

We understand that expectations can vary, and we apologize if there was any miscommunication regarding our Ceremony Video.

Our goal is to provide an authentic representation of the moments captured during your special day.
We value transparency and strive to communicate clearly about our products and services to ensure that our clients have a clear understanding of what they can expect. Again we appreciate you sharing your feedback and if you have any further questions, please donāt hesitate to reach out!

We used this company as our videographer. It had started off well, the owner was very kind and communication was great with the manager leading up to the wedding day.
The only thing thing I asked was to capture the authentic moments of our wedding day... Well that was quite the opposite of what we got. When it came time to receive our video the manager reached out asking my husband to re record his vows on his phone in a closet because the ones he did were not usable... authentic right?
Mind you on the wedding day I read my vows first and had to read them twice because of some concern of something not being quite right the first time. This was already less than ideal cause it obviously was not as authentic the second time but I would rather the videographer speak up and tell me than not.
Our private vow reading was my favorite part of the day, I saw a side of my husband I don't often see. Unfortunately when I tell you that the vow reading (the most important part of the day) is terrible that is not an exaggeration. I don't understand why my husbands vows were so terrible and mine weren't when the original problem should have been fixed by the time he went?
We were standing in front of a fountain which I had asked if this was a concern and the videographer assured me it wasn't. Well you cannot understand a word my husband is saying in his vows and all you can hear is the water in the background... so explain that one to me? The videographer should have spoke up and told us this was not a good spot. Also there is conversation going on in between the videographer and photographer during the vows. The videographer we had should have spoken up much more than he did throughout the day.
I obviously told the manager/owner how upset I was and they apologized about the "two unfortunate flukes that were not the videographers fault". In the end they did give me a free separate ceremony video and refunded us a portion of the money after many back and fourth emails.
Unfortunately I will never get that moment back and with this being their profession this should not have happened. I would not recommend for your wedding video based on my experience. I gave two stars because I was happy with the highlight film in the end.
Vendor response 02/06/2024
Your Wedding Day is a momentous occasion, and here at ValCinema, we understand (more than ...
most), the importance of capturing authentic moments. We are genuinely sorry for the challenges we faced with the vow recordings and the background noise. It deeply saddens me to hear that we did not fully meet your expectations. This falls short of the high standards we aim to maintain, and I want to assure you that we take your feedback seriously.
I appreciate your understanding in accepting the separate ceremony video and the partial refund as a gesture of goodwill. I also want to express my gratitude for highlighting the positive aspects of the Highlight Film. We are pleased to hear that you found satisfaction in the final result.
Despite the challenges we encountered, please know that we have genuinely tried our hardest to capture the authentic moments that you envisioned and to make a clear resolution for such challenges we faced. Nevertheless, I understand that these actions cannot replace the moments that werenāt captured to the fullest extent. Thank you again for your feedback. We look to strive for excellence in all aspects of our services!

You are provided with a client manager who is a great contact point for any questions. Carol, my client manager, was knowledgeable and responsive to all of my many questions. On the wedding day, my videographer (Aaron) arrived on time and was able to get all of the shots we discussed (and many more). There was a lot of communication about style preferences for the video and it turned out perfectly!

All around great service. Most importantly, the end product was GREAT. We were very pleased with our wedding highlight video and we're really happy to have all of the raw footage that captures all of the genuine emotion of everyone at our wedding. No issues with communication at any point in the process. Overall very pleased with our experience with ValCinema and would highly recommend.
Working with ValCinema means you won't get to meet/speak to your videographer until about a month prior to the event. Before that, you speak to a manager until they assign a videographer for your event. It felt a little less personal, and we preferred meeting our other vendors earlier on in the process, but honestly it worked out just fine.

ValCinema exceeded our expectations as a videographer, and helped make our wedding day special!
Shawn was super helpful when we were looking for a videographer. He answered all of our questions and made the process very clear.
Carol was a fantastic client manager. She always was responsive, and was on top of everything. From our schedule, consultation call, style quiz, and product deliveries- the customer service was excellent.
Anthony was our videographer on our wedding day, and he was a delight. He had a great upbeat attitude, stayed later when we requested so, and helped deliver amazing content. We could not have gotten luckier with our videographer.
Overall, we received great service and incredible content (teaser, wedding video, and raw footage). We have already watched these videos many times and it is so great to be able to revisit our special day. You cannot go wrong with Val Cinema.

We had a great experience with ValCinema on our big day. They also are extremely easy to work with and were great when we weren't 100% set on our final video. They asked exactly what we wanted adjusted and did a great job at creating and editing a product that we were happy with. Carol and our Videographer Jimmy truly are professionals and the company exceeded our expectations.

The photographer and videographer was the thing I was the most stressed about for our wedding, as this is the part that lasts forever. We are terrible at taking our own pictures and also donāt love being in front of a camera. From the start, we met with Shawn and he was wonderful and listened to everything we had to say and answered all of our questions. He was timely and informative. Then Carol came in and made us feel special and cared about. They answered all of our questions and helped us decide what we wanted. Day of, our photographer (Cody) was the best person we couldāve had on our day. He was calm and focused on us the whole day. When we had a change in our schedule the videographers and photographer were totally okay with it. They concentrated on what we wanted and accomplished that. I canāt speak highly enough of them! They put us at ease and gave us something thatāll last a lifetime.

These guys are amazing...everything was so incredibly organized and professional. There are a couple meetings before the wedding day and they were so perfect because I needed to have things done for them before the meeting which made me keep on track. The day of the wedding couldn't have gone better. They came in and everything was so smooth. He diffidently knew what he was doing. He was so good at directing where we needed to go to make sure he got all the shots we wanted and he did so good to get shots of everything in our time frame. 11/10 for ValCinema!

Val Cinema was absolutely wonderful to work with! A review cannot put into words my happiness throughout the entire process of working with them. I had no obstacles or road bumps to deal with and as we know... one less obstacle during wedding planning is wonderful!!
The initial call went wonderfully. I felt listened to and they have SOOOO many options. They're flexible with their options and they are totally willing to do what they can to help meet your needs and desires. After that, they were constantly available for emails and kept in contact frequently. As our wedding got closer, the organization and communication was wonderful, which definitely helped put me at ease. I was making changes up right up until my wedding and they continued to remain flexible and accommodating.
I want to emphasize that you need not to worry about who your photographer and videographer will be. While they pick who to send to you, I would highly recommend trusting them. Our photographer and videographer were hilarious, accommodating, professional and overall enjoyable to have around. Even after the wedding, they communicated quickly to get us our pictures and videos. I can't say enough positive things about Val Cinema. Give them a shot!!!

We absolutely loved working with ValCinema. We knew we wanted great pictures that were timeless. They did a great job pairing us up with a photographer and videographer that fit our style and made us feel really comfortable, even though our wedding day was the first time meeting them. I would highly recommend ValCinema for any couples wanting to get great pics and video and not break the bank- the rest of your wedding expenses will do that š

I was a nervous bride, not sure what to do. They were very professional from start to finish. I have been married almost two years and they have sent reminder emails reminding me about wedding footage. They captured moments that I will have be able to pass down to my family. I highly recommend ValCinema.

Valcinema was excellent to work with, agile as changes came up (even the day before the wedding!), and captured our day in the most gorgeous photos and video. As we planned our wedding, we did a LOT of research in order to select our photographer/videographer (chose Valcinema for both) and Valcinema easily came out on top. Thank you to Valcinema for being so excellent to work with and for capturing our day so beautifully!

The entire team at ValCinema was a dream to work with! From our first contact with them, to the wedding day on 11/5/22, and delivery day for our videos, the process couldnāt have been easier or more smooth and stress free. They communicated all details and information to us promptly and clearly, and the day of our wedding the videographer made both of us feel so comfortable! The videographer got everything we had requested and the final videos were absolutely stunning. We are so happy with the edits we received, and all of the raw footage they sent included in the package we bought! The videographer was also the perfect amount of funny, serious, professional, and helpful! The videographer showed up on time, communicated with us and our wedding planner perfectly throughout the day, and gave us a āheads up/last chanceā before heading out for the night to make sure we had all the footage we could ask for! I could not have picked a better company to work with for our wedding day. We recieved our footage and edits exactly within the time frame stated, and on the earlier end of it! I canāt wait to have the chance to show our kids and grandkids the footage of us years down the road. The emotion and reactions the videographer captured was absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so much ValCinema!!

I can barely put into words how amazing ValCinema was throughout my wedding process. The staff are OUTSTANDING and worked with me every step of the way. Their packages seemed perfect to me, had a good price point, and the quality of the photos plus our highlight video was phenomenal. I had a great time with my photographer and videographer during my wedding. They were very laid back, funny, and knew how to get the perfect shots while still having a great time. Overall, ValCinema really stands above the rest and truly enhanced my wedding experience. I highly recommended their services as you will not be disappointed :).

My mom always told me, if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.
The only nice thing I can say is that they held accountability for their mistake and were responsive.
It seems like they hire photographers through freelance (double check my fact) but make sure you know your photographer well before the wedding and request their portfolio.
