The photographers and videographers are the perfect mixture of professional and casual/friendly so that you are comfortable. We loved Rachael H for engagement photos, and Heather G (photo) and Dmytro L (video) for our wedding. They also actually care about you and the event itself, starting with asking you about your story. We got both a photographer, videographer, and engagement photos for a great bundle price, which was so helpful. Customer service is also fantastic about answering questions thoroughly and quickly. After booking and after the events, they send you information about what to expect, etc. I did quite a but of research into photography companies, and I would highly highly recommend Eivan's!”

Whenever there was something happening out on the dance floor that I thought would be a great moment to look back on and hope to have on video, he would already be there, catching the whole thing on camera!

Awarded Best of Zola
“I could not recommend Old North Film Co. more. They went so above and beyond. We were unsure if we were going to have a videographer. I went slightly over budget, because I really liked Old North’s work. It was worth every penny. The video is so beautiful and they captured so much incredible footage. I had them there from my first looks through the first hour on the dance floor. I honestly wish I would have had them there through the send off. The memories were amazing and I wish I had them captured. It would have been worth the extra money! Old North went above and beyond with delivering the video. They sent it earlier than expected. And they made any revisions we had quickly. Then, a few months after my wedding, they truly went above and beyond. My grandmother passed away. I knew they had captured some really incredible moments of her at my wedding just months before. And it was some of the last moments of her on camera. I asked Old North how much it would cost to edit it together. And they wrote back within 24 hours with a kind note, but also creating an edit with just my grandmother at no extra charge. The gesture meant so much to me. Like I said, it was worth every penny. And the Grandma Video was so beautiful. It made me cry, as well as my mom, aunt, and brother. I can’t believe how above and beyond Old North went. I would 10/10 recommend.”

Feedback Love Films was built from real wedding experience, not styled shoots or staged moments. After more than six years as a wedding photographer through Roman Lorek Photography, I began offering films to my couples and learned storytelling in real wedding environments. My approach is natural, cinematic, and emotion-driven with a focus on authentic moments over overproduction. Outside of weddings, I also shoot concert photography, which continues to influence the energy and movement in my work.

“Roman Lorek is an absolute professional and a pleasure to work with. Whether he’s shooting a music video or capturing a live performance, he comes prepared with professional grade gear, a great eye, and a real understanding of how to capture the energy of the music. What really stands out is his enthusiasm. Roman genuinely gets excited about the shoot and brings creative ideas and great energy to the entire process. He’s reliable, easy to work with, and clearly takes pride in getting the best footage possible. I’d highly recommend Roman to any band or artist looking for high-quality video work, whether it’s a full production music video or live concert footage. We’ll definitely be working with him again.”

“As a wedding photographer, working with videographers often makes my job more difficult. In my experience, most videographers try to create moments by having people do things they would never normally do. They are often an obstacle for photographers to work around. Sometimes multiple videographers are working to get all the angles and they end up creating something of a spectacle of an event when folks are just trying to be natural and enjoy themselves. I had a hard time recommending videographers to my wedding couples... until I met Jenn. Jenn from Better Half Wedding Videography is the exception. She is an incredibly nice person, super respectful of people's time and space. She brings a calming presence to weddings and eases people's nervousness. Jenn is upfront, honest, and discreet. Her work is fun and natural. I am so bummed that she no longer lives in California. When people ask about videographers, I still recommend her. She is the best!”

Hi, I'm Lexi! I started Gott You Media because I've always been the friend with the camera, drawn to capturing the in-between moments that end up meaning the most. I'm not a traditional videographer. I'm your behind-the-scenes content creator, capturing all the raw, candid, real moments of your day and turning them into reels, TikToks, and clips you'll actually want to post. You'll have all your raw footage by the next morning and a polished recap reel within the week. More than just your content team, I'm by your side the whole day, hyping you up, calming nerves, and making sure you're fully present for every moment.

“We hired Lexi to capture our daughter's wedding and she was absolutely incredible. Her communication leading up to the day was so easy and responsive, we never had to worry about a thing. At the wedding she blended right in, had the whole family laughing and hyping up the bride before the ceremony, and we barely noticed she was there during the important moments. By the next morning we had all the raw footage on our phones, which was amazing. Then a few days later she sent us this recap reel that had our entire family in tears. We've probably watched it 50 times already. She genuinely cares about making your day special and it shows in everything she does. Worth every penny.”

My background is in Creative/Conceptual, Fashion and Commercial work. I have over 7yrs of Video experience and 12yrs Photography experience. I bring a lot of technical, fundamental, and creativity into my work. Minimalist at heart. I like to think you can see me in my work.

“My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Irv for our wedding, and we cannot express how thrilled we are with the results! Irv not only met but exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't be more grateful. He managed to capture the essence of our love story in a way that was uniquely "us." We have received countless compliments from friends and family on the video. We highly recommend Irv to any couple looking for a wedding videographer who goes above and beyond to make your day unforgettable. Thank you, Irv, for giving us a beautiful treasure that we'll cherish for a lifetime. We are so grateful for your talent and dedication in making our wedding day a true work of art. With heartfelt thanks, Anthony”

Hi! My name is McKenzie and I am a videographer with a passion for helping couples capture their special day. I cater my videos to match what you want from your wedding. I offer flexible packages to fit your needs. During our consultation we can discuss every aspect of your wedding; budgets, events, specific shots, and editing. I believe every couple deserves a video of their day to remember their wedding day moments for a lifetime.

“I had the pleasure of hiring McKenzie for a wedding and it turns out that the groom recognized her from school. On the day of she really made my bride and groom feel comfortable in front of the camera. She’s really easy going yet fast paced when she needs to be. Overall very pleased with her services. I would hire her again!”
