“We were on the fence about getting a wedding video at all. Most of the videos out there are cheesy and just not our style. Why spend the money? Then, we found Kindly. And wow, I'm so happy about it. During our first call with Austin, it was clear that he "gets it." He has incredible taste, and is excited about cool, interesting weddings with a lot of heart. As I described the vision for our wedding — an ode to old school Los Angeles taking place at the iconic Sunset Tower & Chateau Marmont hotels — we could see Austin's creative wheels turning. We decided to use a Super 8 camera to incorporate in the film, which added that grainy, vintage, home-video aesthetic to the final product. Austin also had the idea for us to send videos we recorded ourselves of our relationship and the time leading up to the wedding to incorporate in the film — making it not only a wedding video, but a story of our love. Here's one final anecdote to capture what made working with Kindly so spectacular. My husband and I both share the same favorite moment of the wedding: it was the end of the night, we were on the dance floor surrounded by all of our favorite people in the world, and Robyn's song, "Dancing On My Own" was playing. We were jumping up and down and spinning, and everywhere we looked, there was someone we loved. Forever that song will remind us of that moment. Well, when Austin sent us the final film, he had selected Robyn's "Dancing On My Own" to punctuate the final minutes. It took our breath away. We didn't ask for this song, or tell him this was our favorite moment. But he was there, not only observing behind the camera, but also experiencing the wedding with us, and he just *knew*. He knew the magic of that moment, and knew to capture it in the film. This is what you want in a wedding cinematographer. Someone who gets it: who gets the magic, who gets the moments that matter, who gets the story, who gets the aesthetic, and who turns it into the film you that almost 2 years later, you still watch every Saturday morning. Yep, we — two people who weren't sure we wanted to invest in a wedding video at all — still watch ours every Saturday morning because it's that special. Absolutely could not recommend Kindly more highly. Here's our video if you want to check it out: https://vimeo.com/374696258”
