ValCinema are simply the best. From the first time I contacted them, to the final product, they exemplified complete professionalism and yet were so considerate of all our requests.
We really enjoyed working with them and would recommend them unreservedly.

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 hired Valcinema as our wedding photography through the advice of our wedding planner. Carol was thorough and very responsive with any questions we had. She made sure of any do’s and don’ts that my husband and I may have had. Peter was our day of videographer and super cool dude to work with. My husband and I weren’t totally camera shy, but something we’ve never done before and Peter made sure we were very comfortable throughout the day. They produced a beautiful video that I can’t wait to share with my family many years to come.

Best experience EVER! This company delivered an amazing final product that left us in tears of joy and happiness. The video that was created for us was exactly what we wanted, with the music just right, all the right video clips and when people were talking in the video were perfect. We are so happy that we decided to go with having a video as something to keep forever and even happier that we went with ValCinema!

ValCinema was perfect for my wedding day. The videographers were very professional, knew what they were doing, and got along wonderfully with the wedding photographer. The customer service is amazing as well! They were happy to help with any issue that we had. Our wedding video is high quality and a joy to watch. 10/10 recommend this company.

We really enjoyed working with ValCinema and feel they did an amazing job for our photography at our wedding last year in July. We really appreciated their hard work and professionalism throughout the process. They were always in good communication with us - a few weeks prior to our wedding day they scheduled a call with us to work out all the details and helped us know what to expect. We liked how well organized they were too - they shared us google docs for us to fill out so they could plan accordingly and something to reference on.
On our wedding day, we met with our photographer and our first impressions were really good - he was very friendly and greeted us well, arrived on time and got to work right away. He took lots of photos of us, took photos at many different angles, directed us how to better position ourselves, taught us some neat gestures, helped direct others to get in photos with us, picked good backgrounds, etc. He was very creative and asked us for feedback too so we could get all the photos we wanted. One of our favorite photos was the one he suggested where the groom would lift up the bride and having the arch in the background - this final photo looked like it came out from a movie! After the wedding, ValCinema sent us a large selection of photos we could view, download, and/or purchase.
It was a great experience for us working with ValCinema and we highly recommend ValCinema’s services to anyone seeking exceptional photography and professionalism.

Philip and Olga were our videographers and we couldn’t have asked for a better team! They were super attentive and kind. They made everyone feel comfortable being behind the camera. They were fun to be around and over all added so much joy to our wedding day! The film we got back was amazing. They got it back to us in the timeline they said they would and the staff helping put that together were so quick to respond when we had any questions or changes. I HIGHLY recommended them to anyone looking for a videographer, I’m still getting compliments about them 3 months after our wedding from guests!

It was a pleasure having ValCinema capture video for our wedding. The initial contact with Shawn was great, the email communication with Carol was consistent and fluid, and the onsite videographer, Dave, was very friendly and thorough. We loved working with this company and would gladly recommend them to any couple looking for video services!

Honestly can't say enough great things! If you are like me and are hesitant if you want a videographer, this is your sign to book them! I had been against a videographer throughout my entire planning process, in an effort to save money and I knew we'd have our photos. However, literally a month before our wedding, I came to the realization that it was really important to us to have our day captured, not only for us, but to share with family that couldn't be there.
This is when I reached out to ValCinema, a month before our wedding. I spoke with Shawn, the owner, and he was super personable, and assured me they would have a videographer available. I felt really comfortable after that phone call, and while I knew we needed to make a quick decision, we didn't want to make a rash decision, so I even checked with my wedding planner and she felt they would be a great choice too!
We felt they were reasonably priced, and I really appreciated that we were able to add on separately, a ceremony video, despite it not being included in the package we chose. Therefore, we were able to get exactly what we wanted, without breaking our bank! All of their packages also automatically include all raw footage, and while you might think you don't need that or want it, we went through ours and realized now we have our full first dance, toasts, some really funny moments caught, and so much more that we can look back on that aren't captured in a 4-6 minute highlight!
Both our videos, the highlight and ceremony turned out beautifully! We really feel our highlight film captured our day perfectly, from the moments they included to the song we let them choose! And they got them back to us just shy of two months, which was a really nice surprise, as they told us it could take up to 3!
I should add that everyone we talked to was great to work with, and Paul our videographer was wonderful! It can be a little nerve racking not meeting or knowing your videographer beforehand, but I honestly never really had that worry, between phone calls, emails, and questionnaires, we felt confident in their services.
I am so thankful we changed our minds! It's so worth it if you are on the fence, as now we have these moments to look back on years down the road and to share with others! I hope this review helps you, especially if you are debating on whether or not to have a videographer at all!!

Working with ValCinema was INCREDIBLE! I cannot tell you how amazing their entire team was for my sister's special day. We found out quite last minute that my grandmother would not be able to attend my sister's wedding and so we frantically sought out a videographer to capture their special day, last minute. The team over at ValCinema were amazing. They literally dropped everything and squeezed us in to their schedule and went out of their way to make it special. They were excellent communicators, on time, professional, and just genuinely kind people. So gracious and their work is top notch! This video is one of my favorite things to watch and to hear my grandmother's reaction once she was able to watch it was a very special moment for our family. I cannot recommend them enough!
