We chose John Wakim as our videographer for our large October wedding in 2024 at Stone Creek Lodge in Crawfordsville, and we are beyond pleased with all of the work he has done! 10...
/10 A+ Gold Star!
We went with Your Dream Filmworks because of the fair pricing and John's unique style which fit best with what we were looking for in a wedding video. While researching, it seemed like all the videographers in our Indy area and price range offered theatrical or social media style highlight reel video packages of varying length only, which was not our vibe. We wanted everything to be captured and immortalized in a classic bystander/POV way. John was the only one I could find that does this, for an affordable price.
John recorded the entire ceremony and reception and everything in between, and he even drove 30 minutes to our house to conduct an interview with us prior to the wedding day to capture our love story and show the pre-wedding madness as his standard package, which we love! He also has larger packages with highlight reels and other add-ons, but we felt the base package suited us best after talking with John in our initial meetup. We did choose to add on the cocktail hour interviews/stories at the last minute and John was happy to accommodate for us. Totally worth it, very entertaining!
He also provided beautiful aerial footage of the ceremony and reception grounds with his drone and captured some candid footage for us pre-ceremony. Our total video length is almost 3 hours long from a 7 hour event. The ceremony portion of the video had great angles and John even overlaid a close up of the groom's face as the bride was walking down the aisle, so you can see both of us as we see each other for the first time.
He even knew and had worked with our photographer, Jasmine Norris before. It was both reassuring and heartwarming to see them both be excited to work together on the wedding day. They worked together like a well oiled machine. Very professional and still able to have fun at the same time. John also went above and beyond to help our DJ with the AV equipment setup and calibration on the day of the wedding to make sure the sound quality was top notch, and it was. The video quality is in 4K and the sound is high quality as well! Absolutely amazing! The extra lav mics are definitely needed!
We are so grateful we chose Your Dream Filmworks. I can't imagine a better choice is out there if I'm being perfectly honest. Along with John being a joy to talk to and work with, he is a professional above all else, and I will be recommending him to friends and family who are getting married or having another big event in the future. I can tell that he truly cares about his clients and wants to provide the best service he possibly can.
I've worked with John from Your Dream Filmworks on multiple projects. One of the most honest and professional individuals I've ever had the pleasure to work with. Plus, he's a blas...

John was fantastic and went above our expectations! He was extremely responsive and helpful from the get go. On the wedding day, John was professional and did not intrude on any of...
the craziness. He sent our final video in the matter of weeks and we love it. It was more than what we asked for and something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We cannot recommend Your Dream Filmworks enough. Thank you John!
We loved working with John for our wedding video. He was easy to work with, responsive, and flexible. He was always willing to hear to our needs/concerns, and worked with our DJ ...
and photographer on a few things (audio, timing). He turned around our video incredibly fast and it is beautiful - it is exactly what we wanted. His attention to detail and ability to capture the moment was amazing. A fun thing he does is interview guests for fun stories. It made for a great memory for us and I learned a little about my husband in the process as many of our guests used it as an opportunity to roast him haha! Thanks again, John!
John with Your Dream Filmworks was incredible to work with - from start to finish. We specifically hired the company to be our wedding videographer. He has several options to choos...
e from on what "type" of video, how much coverage, one vs. two videographers, etc. We elected to get the biggest package, which included a highlight video and coverage for our entire day. Throughout the planning process, he stayed in touch and gathered the information he needed. On our wedding day, he was professional, benevolent, and a pleasure to have in the room with us ... from pre-ceremony to reception. When we received our highlight video and full length video back, we could not have been more pleased. The highlight video perfectly captured the day in a little over two minutes and the full length video is EXACTLY what we will love to pull out in 5, 10, 50 years down the road to remember our day. For that, I could not be more thankful!
We got our wedding video back yesterday and it was beyond anything I ever thought it would be and we are so glad that we spent the money to capture our day!! Your Dream Filmworks J...
ohn Wakim did an amazing job and it was seriously a pleasure working with him. So personable and also blended in so well. We can't thank him enough! If you are ever in search of a videographer I would highly recommend him. Hands down!
John was very easy to work with. He was always very prompt with email responses, very open to our ideas and suggestions, and very professional. Very punctual. When we wanted to ...
get all of the raw footage so we could make our own highlight video, he was very open to the idea and happily took care of us. Couldn't hope for a better partner for our big day.
However, when we got our video DVD/Blu-Ray, the film of the ceremony itself was VERY unstable. As if the image stabilization was off the entire time. As he moved with the mobile camera, it bounced up and down quite a lot, and cuts between shots were sometimes in the middle of sentences. It felt very herky-jerky. He stayed towards the back of the ceremony behind the guests, so there weren't any good close ups, and some shots were blocked by guests' heads or bodies. Due to our wedding style, we did not use his microphone, so it was hard to hear us, but I don't fault him that. That was our decision, so I encourage anyone to use their videographers mic to make sure your ceremony is picked up. Overall though, the video didn't seem as professional as we'd hoped.
He is a great person to work with, and he offers fair quality - what we got was expected for the lower price compared to competitors. Our wedding venue had a couple quirks that made things difficult, but we still expected something a little more refined for the money we paid.
Of all the things we did for our wedding, getting a videographer was by far one of the best decisions we made. It was extremely important for us to have a vendor we felt comfortab...
le with and one we felt confident in. After all, it's the most important day of our lives and we didn't want just anyone to be in charge of capturing our memories. When we met John, we felt immediately at ease and knew right away he would be fun, yet professional. He went above and beyond to ensure he captured all the great shots and moments. Our long video was amazing to see. He caught different conversations from family members, had different angles during the ceremony and even interviewed us about how we met. That's going to be so fun to look back on when we are old and gray! My most favorite part was our short video set to the song of our choice. I have watched it numerous times and it always brings a smile (and sometimes happy tears) to me anytime I see it. It seriously could not be more perfect. Having a videographer (namely, Wakim Dream Productions), is going to be the best move you make....other than marrying your love, of course!
John did a video for my wedding and it was absolutely perfect! He caught moments I missed while I was doing other things that I would have never seen. He was always around, I never...
had to question "well, what is John doing?!" At the start of the day he was even there when I was getting stressed, trying to calm me down. He is professional, so easy to talk to, and an absolute joy to work with! Very positive experience!
John Wakim recorded my wedding and reception. Not only was he professional, but he is also exceptionally friendly, and great to work with. He recorded memories that I will cherish ...
forever. Our wedding video and the highlight video are beautiful and we also made a Harlem Shake video during our reception that was a blast to create and watch! If you are looking for a videographer, you will not find someone more interested and excited to film your occasion than John. He is a great professional to work with and his enthusiasm will really show in the final product!
John gave us exactly what we asked for and was very professional. Friendly with anyone he spoke with and I loved the results of our video!
