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!

He films are so much more cinematic, bespoke, and unique compared to a lot of other vendors we came across. He absolutely nailed it with our film too. It’s a perfect blend of our energy as a couple!

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.

We know the investment you put in your wedding video deserves a big return, so we're committed to making it the experience you deserve.

The two associated from White Elm Films were professional, kind and worked well with all other vendors. They both made us feel very comfortable and we are so excited to see what they produced from our special day! Would highly recommend!
