Wild Light Films

teven had the most clear communication and upmost professionalism. We knew exactly what to expect but he went even above and beyond that! He treated us as if we were long-time friends and that truly made the difference. For us, photo and video were our most important vendors and we would choose Wild Light Films 100x over if given the chance. He accommodated every request I had and would reply to all of my emails so quickly. I was my own wedding planner, but Steven made the process of booking and coordinating video so easy. Honestly, I never stressed about my choice for videographer after booking. My advice to any couples out there would be to go for it! Trust his vision and art, it truly all comes together so beautifully. I gave him full reign with my videos and absolutely loved every part of them. We used Jules, his associate videographer, for the actual capturing of footage and wanted to give him a proper shout out too! He was lively, fun, and felt like part of the family! Everyone enjoyed his company and creative direction! Steven, I know we are a small part of your career, but thank you so much for being such a huge part of the best day of our lives and making us feel so special.

t only did he work tirelessly to capture every special moment of the day, but he also made sure to engage with our guests, helping them feel at ease and comfortable. This created such organic, authentic reactions that truly made the footage come alive. In the planning stages, we worked with Steven, who was amazing to collaborate with. He was full of insightful ideas and helped us envision exactly what we wanted for our wedding video. Together, they made the entire process smooth, and their professionalism shone through every step of the way. Hands down, the best investment we made for our wedding day. If you’re considering a videographer, do yourself a favor and hire Wild Lights Film – you won’t regret it!

ur wedding. We were misled by their flashy short clips on their website. I am leaving this review to warn couples: do not ruin your wedding videography by hiring this fraudulent team! Our nightmare began when Steven, who initially confirmed our date, canceled on us just one month before the wedding. Since we were in a bind, we settled for Charles Guinto, one of Steven’s videographers. Charles videotaped our wedding using a simple photography camera, and he repeatedly paused recording during critical moments. After all, the 1-hour movie we received was nothing short of a disaster. Can you imagine a wedding videographer not capturing the bride and groom’s first dance? That’s what happened to us. Our 2-minute dance wasn’t even recorded in full. Several other important moments, including beautifully choreographed family dances, were cut short. The Groom’s speech was not captured fully and the image was of such poor quality! The most devastating part for me was that Charles completely missed my father’s and uncle’s toasts -an incredibly special moment I’ll never get back. Our wedding was stunning, coordinated down to the minute, and we gave clear instructions to the videographer on what to capture. Still, Charles failed miserably. We even paid a premium price to ensure nothing was missed. He literally taped no more than 7 minutes per hour, and we were left with subpar footage (1.5 hours total raw footage while we paid $9500 for 12 hours filming). The quality was awful, and many of the videos lacked proper lighting. For the entire ceremony, the camera was set behind guests, showing the back of the photographer and videographer, with us completely blocked from view. Even an amateur wouldn’t make such a basic mistake! When we expressed our concerns to Steven, he asked us to collect videos from our guests to fill in the gaps -something a professional videographer should never have to do, and the final product was heartbreaking to watch. I still get emotional when I think about how they ruined the once-in-a-lifetime memories of our beautiful wedding day. Our nightmare continued when we asked for compensation. First, Charles claimed he captured everything, then Steven blamed a memory card failure, only to later point out that their contract didn’t guarantee full coverage! Do not trust their contract! It’s filled with vague terms that leave room for excuses and loopholes, allowing them to deliver subpar results without accountability. When we approached Steven about either editing the footage to a professional standard or providing a reasonable refund, he offered only a $500 refund -a slap in the face given the irreparable loss of our wedding moments. We decided to pursue legal action, and as soon as we mentioned taking the issue to court, both Steven Kopacz and Charles Guinto disappeared, ceasing all communication. They never responded to our texts, emails, or even letters from our attorney. If you want to protect your wedding day memories, avoid Wild Light Films at all costs. They are unprofessional, dishonest, and will leave you heartbroken over what should have been the most beautiful moments of your life.

led with Steven and his editing team- we ended up with such a fun and unique super 8 film wedding video that we'll watch (and cry joyfully along with) for years to come!
