Weddings by LDF

ing super responsive leading up to our big day, it was a breeze working with him! We are so excited to see the final results!

ing, and the raw footage. In an industry that can really scam you, it felt the opposite with this vendor. I highly recommend! Thank you Ray, and thank you Matt!

capture me and my bridesmaids coming off the bus and to get drone footage of the venue. He was so fun and easy-going throughout the day. Always getting the good detailed shots without feeling like you were being followed for a reality tv show. It rained a bit on my wedding day and we eventually got a rainbow. We had a cross that I wanted to get a photo of with the rainbow in the background but it was facing the wrong way. Without asking, Ray got up and lifted the massive cross and turned it around so we could get the shot. That's just one example of how he went above and beyond for us. I love our movie and all of the raw footage is the perfect way of reminiscing on the day. I really cannot recommend Weddings by LDF enough!

ng day, he was highly professional and even filmed a few drone shots of the church because he had arrived early. I can't wait to see the final product, and I highly recommend Weddings by LDF to anyone looking for a kind, professional, and affordable videographer for their wedding.

an needed and got to work when we had to start things earlier than planned. The incredible quality of the footage for the price is amazing! If you are thinking about booking Weddings by LDF, DO IT! The video is absolutely beautiful and incredible and we have all the raw footage from our special day! We highly recommend Weddings by LDF!

ns we made. We had an incredible photographer, but there are some things that just can't be captured in a photo and I am so glad we have this special memory of our wedding day. Ray showed up early on our wedding day and got right to work. He captured everything so naturally, giving occasional prompts but mostly just letting moments happen organically. When we got the finished product back, there were so many moments and details he captured that we didn't even know about. Ray was so easy to work with and even though we had never met in person (he is based in Greensboro and we got married in Gastonia), he got my camera-shy husband out of his shell and completely hamming it up within the first hour! And in the best news, he FAR exceeded the timeline we expected for the final wedding film. We were so excited to get to watch it early. and we will treasure this beautiful work for years to come. If you are considering a wedding videographer, 1) just do it and 2) I cannot recommend Ray enough. Thank you Ray for being a part of our special day!

presence added to our day. It felt like we had known him for years, and his presence, excitement for the day, and kindness toward our families and wedding parties were a huge highlight. Not only this, but after receiving our full video, it’s clear that this video will be treasured for the rest of our life. The sweet memories he managed to capture even in the most seemingly insignificant moments are unbelievable. We are so grateful for Weddings by LDF, and each of our vendors remarked on the professionalism and kindness exemplified by him!

rried in the area!!

dors. So laid back, told us exactly what we needed to do. He's so wonderful, BOOK HIM!

m our wedding, I reached out to Weddings by LDF, and within 48 hours, I had a response from Ray and a phone call scheduled to discuss our wedding. During the call Ray asked a few questions to get an idea about our ceremony, our vision and what we would like to have documented on the day of. He went through timelines and what I should expect, and about a week out, we confirmed the details and time, and on the day of the wedding, he executed everything we discussed. His professionalism and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. He showed up on time and captured each moment we discussed and more. He was attentive not only to my husband and me but also to my friends and family. He was catching things that my photographer didn't see. Hands down, I would recommend Ray for all videography needs. I have not seen the videos yet, but I know they will be amazing!

moments can be a little nervewracking. If you need a videographer, look no further. I was very impressed with Ray. To start, his prices beat competitors by a few hundred dollars. He was very responsive to emails, arrived early, and made sure that everything went smoothly. He is very astute and made sure that everything was right, even down to the smallest details (background clutter, things out of place). He was also very flexible, as my daughter chose a few alternate locations for pictures. If you need a videographer, he's your man!

ing less than professional. Always prompt in responding to my emails with answers to all of my questions. When we finally met in person he was as personable as well as professional. I didn't even realize that he was there filming until the end when we were talking.

by LDF. He was incredibly friendly at the wedding, easy to work with, and captured our day so beautifully. Love his style and the quality of the video. Overall, great value and highly recommended!

ion from him, before nor after the wedding. LDF was a very good deal for $1600 for 8 hours and they travelled a not insignificant distance, a great deal without a doubt. Also, the videographer selected for taking the video by LDF was amazing. He (Jonathan) was awesome and despite the heat was fun and studious in getting all the best shots for the video. I would highly recommend him if you do book with LDF in the Farmville VA area. Another bright spot, the video we got back was very high quality and both my husband and I were happy with it. It was beautiful like many of LDFs example videos and the shot choices, music, cinematography, and voice capture was high quality. Unfortunately, we experienced a lack of communication around preparation and delivery of the video. To elaborate, we did talk to LDF before the wedding to pick out a contract, which we picked a middlingly costly one. There wasn’t any more communication from him to confirm anything in the week or weeks before the wedding. The contract we signed stated that we would get the video and raw footage between 2 to 3 months after the wedding date. We contacted LDF prematurely at 6 weeks post wedding wondering about the status, but no work was done. We waited until the Monday before 3 months had passed and contacted LDF again about its status. He told us that it was in progress and he would have it to us on Friday. We heard nothing on Friday. On the next Monday we reached out again and were again told it would be out later THAT week. And the thing that further annoyed us was his statement that he can take however long he needs “per the contract”. The contract says that he can extend the deadline under “special circumstances “, but the only special circumstances he offered was “I’m busy shooting weddings every weekend”. So be aware that LDF may delay releasing if he is having a busy season. At the end of that week he began the upload and we got the videos the next week. So he did deliver and only a week late, but it left a bad taste in both our mouths. Compounded by the fact that he was posting instagram videos of weddings that occurred after ours... In the end, he left us with a lot of uncertainty around if he would deliver it at all with a flagrant attitude towards his contract or expectations. We would have been amenable to some prior communication stating it would be late, but there was no such communication. In short, has great videographers, makes great videos at a great price, but lacks communication. We would recommend him if you don’t mind being the squeaky wheel.

his vendor! Ray was very professional on the day, with good attention to detail. We really appreciated his help, insightful advice and calm demeanour in spite of a few wedding mishaps. Can't wait to see his work!

needed. He was communicative in the booking process and incredible on the day of our wedding. On top of that, his work is BEAUTIFUL!! I truly feel like what he captured was a work of art. He was so great at posing us, finding the perfect shot, and was a true professional all day long. His work honestly made our wedding day!! I cannot recommend Weddings by LDF highly enough!!!

seriously, 10/10 recommend. Weddings by LDF has been incredible to work with.

her the day of the wedding for the first time and they worked together flawlessly! I felt super comfortable striking some crazy poses and I would definitely recommend them to anyone out there looking for a videographer !

making sure to capture everything !!

ebration. He was incredibly kind and so supportive throughout our big day - he even drove 3.5 hours to our venue! Ray was also very communicative throughout the process leading up to the wedding - we would absolutely recommend this vendor to anyone in the area!

very knowledgeable and you can tell he has perfected his craft! Prior to our wedding, I had not met Ray in-person but as soon as I met him I immediately felt relief that we were in good hands. Ray carried himself very professionally, and had great communication throughout the entire process. I’m excited to see how our video turns out! Overall, I could not recommend Ray and his team enough!

mazing way. I highly recommend them!

to working with Ray on the wedding day, there is not a negative thing we could say about our experience. He was so responsive and always quick to answer any questions we had for him. On the wedding day he was so friendly, did his thing and made sure he got all that we asked him cover. The NEXT day, he posted a sneak peak video that we watched daily for over a week. His work is simply amazing. A few months later, we got our final video and it was perfect. I will be watching it forever! Such a great business to work with, cannot recommend them enough!

him ducking under the limbo ribbon to make sure he got both the groom's and the bride's side of the door threshold! He caught all the little moments we blinked and missed. He was never intrusive and had this knack for being in the right place at the right time. When we got our video, it was like being transported back to our wedding day. Ray managed to capture the laughter, the happy tears, the crazy dance-offs, and all the love that filled the room. His work is more than just a video - it's the magic of our special day that we can relive over and over again. If you need a wedding videographer, do yourself a favor and book Ray. My only regret is not paying for the full day package! His work is worth every penny and then some.

d. A friend had this comment when she saw it. "I'm such a fan of the beat music and the videographer had such a good sense of space, distance and level for each person. I swear I saw a straight beyonce shot as a desi album cover on the baraat day video!" We highly recommend him!

ith our videos!

ve him share his incredible talents with us on our big day! From the beginning, he was so responsive (seriously, he always emailed back within minutes) and explained everything so well. He had great energy and was a joy to be around on our wedding day! He found all the best, unique shots and when we got our video back, my jaw was on the floor! ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! Booking with Weddings by LDF was hands down the best decision we made! The value is incredible! I’m honestly shocked his price isn’t double- his work is THAT GOOD! I also like that he offers the option to add on the full wedding video and raw footage along with the highlight video. I am so thankful we trusted our most important day to Ray and will cherish these special memories forever!

ion! From the beginning, he was so great to work with and was incredibly personable, patient, kind, and welcoming, and communication with him was always SO easy. He answered all of our questions and his guidance and expertise helped make the planning process that much easier and enjoyable! On the day of, he coordinated so well with our photographers and played an invaluable role in helping things go smoothly. He gave great directions and guided us through all the shots and made sure that we were able to be present during our wedding and spend time with our people. We’re so excited to receive the final video and can’t wait to relive the day through Ray’s beautiful work! Can’t recommend enough!

decided we didn't need a videographer, especially since we already hired a photographer. HOWEVER, time and time again we had family and friends say that they wished they had a video of their wedding and regret not hiring a videographer. After thinking about it for a couple of months, we decided we should move forward with hiring a videographer so our wedding planner recommended Weddings by LDF. And WOW! We are so happy we did! Ray has a great personality and blended so well with our family and friends! He captured moments that I was unaware of and every time I look at the video, I see our wedding day from a new prospective. At this point we have only received our "trailer" which was the perfect length to post on IG and I HIGHLY recommend for other clients to get, as it is a great way to show others a snippet of your wedding. We are anxiously awaiting our full length video and know Ray is going to hit it out of the park!

directing us about what to do and captured as many moments as possible. Every time I saw him throughout the night he was videotaping something and I really appreciate his thoughtfulness in capturing as much footage as possible. I could not be happier with having him as our videographer for the wedding!

ful and has such a calming presence about him. We enjoyed having him film our wedding. We can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience with this company. We can’t wait to see what magic you create for us! Thank you so much for everything!

o shoot with! We just got our video back and it is so special, we have zero regrets about booking Weddings by LDF!

d more of a candid style. I was so grateful for their help and guidance! They were a pleasure to work with the day of my wedding, and the final video was really nice. I would 100% hire them again (and actually did hire them for my brother's wedding!)

he event. He was available for any needs that my clients had during the planning process and provided them with an exceptional experience.

e so thoughtful. The cinematography used by this company really is next to none! We literally got to relive our special day and feel and see all the emotions all over again. The team was professional, responsive, and went above and beyond to make our wedding day and footage special! If you’re thinking about choosing Weddings by LDF, look no further! Choose them to meet your videography needs!

over. Joe was our videographer and I have to give him a huge shoutout (and a big thank you) for filming our day. He was amazing and all of our guests loved him! Y’all will not regret booking Weddings by LDF. It was truly the best experience all around working with them and I will recommend them over and over again!

odating. We also cannot thank the on-site shooter, Eric, enough for everything on wedding day. Eric went above and beyond all day long and worked effortlessly with our photographer to capture all the important moments of our day. We are literally so excited to get our final video back. 11/10 would recommend.

llaborated so well it made things go quicker and easier. Our wedding video blew us away. It was magical. I cannot recommend Ray and his videography more!! Absolutely the best decision we made for our wedding day!

le to capture our special day. He was amazing the day of our wedding and helped us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Ray was flexible on the day of the wedding and even showed up early when I last minute asked him to due to incoming rain. Truly could not have asked for a better videographer. So grateful we chose Ray and that we have the video to look back on forever!

le!

ul to make sure we were getting the right photos in the rights shots with the right lighting. Ray really made us feel so comfortable and special and we are blessed to have worked with him.

rised me and some who really disappointed. I'm happy to say Ray was the first! It's hard for me to actually describe it, but Ray was such a positive and calming presence to me all day. He really helped me put things into perspective as little things here and there were going wrong and he rolled with the punches so well. He worked so well with our Photographers and we already received our Trailer back (about 2.5 weeks) and it is INCREDIBLE. I can't stop watching it because it just puts a smile on my face and the video is exactly the vibe we were going for! I spoke with and compared over 15 Videographers before finding Ray, after being so impressed from seeing the footage from a friend of a friend's wedding. When I say I was picky, I was PICKY!! Ray was SO responsive to my 100s of emails and questions - fast and thorough. At about 1 month out - you get inundated with emails from vendors. Ray was not one of those who stressed me out and filled up my inbox. We had one quick call to confirm the details close to the wedding date, and that was it! Also, his pricing was super reasonable and we had the opportunity to customize exactly what we wanted. I absolutely do not regret hiring Ray and his team - I'm just so happy with our experience, I could cry happy tears!!
