“I cant say enough good things about our experience with Toast! Julianna was so communicative and fantastic with making sure that the memories of our day were captured perfectly! It's incredible that Toast has photographers nationwide that they contract with! Planning a destination -Oregon wedding from New York was made so much easier because of Julianna and her team! The photographer and videographer captured images and footage that were above and beyond what we ever dreamed! Plus, they were both beyond talented and great at directing us to make sure we got tge best images! Our photographer had a great idea to have me twirl and throw my dress, and it was one of the most beautiful images captured. Also, they were open to fun things we wanted to try. The editing process was seamless, and the product they produced was absolutely phenomenal. Like I said, highly recommend!”

Our photography style would be considered true color but cinematic. Our videos have that same true color, cinematic quality but also follow more of a documentary flow, so that it actually feels like you're actually reliving your wedding day every time you watch your videos.

“I am SO glad we decided to have a videographer, and we are so glad it was Gordon!!! Our wedding day went by unbelievably fast, and there are so many little moments that we didn't get to see or fully take in while everything was happening. As a bride, it never clicked for me that I wouldn't be able to see my family walking down the aisle until the day of! Having our wedding video means we get to experience those moments again... our vows, speeches, our families' reactions, all of the little candid moments, and things we didn't even know were happening. Gordon was so easy to work with and was incredibly professional without ever making us feel like we were constantly being filmed, especially as two naturally camera-shy people. He did such an amazing job of capturing everything naturally, and we barely even noticed the cameras were there. The final video was honestly more than we could have hoped for. It feels so personal to us and captured the feeling of the day in a way that photos alone just can't. I already know we're going to be watching it for years and years. If you're on the fence about hiring a videographer, PLEASE do it. Being able to hear and see our wedding day again is something I'm already so grateful we have. And Gordon was absolutely the right person to trust with it!”

Paul Hairston is an award winning and nation-wide wedding, documentary and commercial filmmaker for over 13 years. He loves anything and everything about human storytelling and creating impact through the medium of film. He strives to capture your special day with earnestness, trust and top shelf visuals. Throughout his career he has worked to blend vérité filmmaking with a production value those stories and emotions deserve, while never getting in your way. Providing painterly and elegant coverage with an unobtrusive but attentive presence that documents every unique detail is Paul’s goal with every film.

“Paul and his assistant were absolutely amazing. I actually found him when googling videographers in my area and LOVED all his work as I could tell he took true pride in his films and caught all the little details of the weddings he videoed. When setting up a meeting, I realized he actually lived 4 hours away from me... BUT that didn't stop him! He was willing to travel with his assistant for a VERY cheap price and was there the whole time. He actually asked ME if he could come earlier to ensure he got all the little details on camera and capture every minute of us getting ready, etc. He was quick to respond throughout the whole planning process prior to the big day as well. Paul was in school for cinematography at the time which is very evident in his work as you can tell that film is his true passion in life through his work. We had no idea he was even there and he stayed until the very end (little did I know) to ensure he captured everything on film. As most brides (and grooms) do, we put a LOT of planning into our big days and a lot of thought into every single little detail. Of course your own wedding day is such a blur you never even get to appreciate all your hard work... but thanks to Paul, I am able to see every little part of the wedding from the place settings to all the little signs we had everywhere. He did an amazing job capturing every moment and I love my highlight film. Thanks to him, I get to witness and relive what was my dream wedding over and over again... I knew I wanted to hire him when his highlight films of complete strangers brought me to tears! He is now videoing my brother's wedding and a family friends... So Yes.... I HIGHLY recommend him :)"”

I became indulged in the story-telling of my wedding couples. Being surrounded by the excitement, sometimes nervous couples, and their loving families and friends made the filming such a rush. Then to have the honor to edit a film where their personalities and love shine through is the greatest privilege. I want to take them on a journey back in time to the most epic day where they laugh and cry with all their family and friends. I make films that last the ages. I love to think about how my couples might show their kids or even grandkids someday.

“Trevor was simply amazing! After searching for weeks for the perfect videographer, we finally found Trevor Maloch. We wanted someone that we not only connected with, but also someone who was fun and pleasant to work with and that’s exactly what Trevor was for us. His pricing and packages were within our price range. Maloch Media provided us exactly what we were looking for in our wedding video and that was to make us feel like we were reliving the biggest day of our lives. We highly recommend Maloch Media. We promise you, you will not be disappointed! Thank you Trevor and Amanda for playing a huge part on making our day so perfect! Best, Theresa & Roxana”

“Me and my wife were going mad with all the wedding preparation lol Lots of adds on, different vendors, style, packages, just overwhelming stuff. When I contacted these people, the conversation was cool and matching our vibe. Daria explained that they handle everything simple and fast. We decided to book with them. On the day of our wedding the team was sooo easy to work with! It's like they are here with you but at the same time like ninjas filming each moment from every corner. The 10 hours is a long work day but they never missed a moment. We are super excited, I'll definitely share their contacts with my engaged friend. Thanks guys!”
