So many wedding videographers, but who to choose?! Godfred from Gordino Photo and Video will absolutely make your vision to a reality. We booked him to cover our video needs on our special day. His work found on his YouTube channel and his website is proof that you should hire him immediately before he’s booked up! He was professional, personable, on time, meshed very well with our photographer, and overall fit in every aspect of our day. His turn around time is amazing, which is pretty hard to come by if you want high quality cinematic work. Without a doubt, Godfred is a master of his craft.

Flower and oak were absolutely amazing. They showed up extremely early for our event and we had the highest premium package ordered for the day. We had a couple specific shoot ideas for THE GROOMSMEN and the minute I walked in the front door. I was greeted by both videographers With all kinds of cool camera gear and they told us exactly what to do and there was no time wasted. I highly recommend flower and oak to anyone looking at getting married soon. The one thing I don’t regret about our wedding day is using them because they were so great. It doesn’t matter what the price is you will have those memories forever.

We'll turn all your raw footage into a beautiful, nostalgic Modern Day Home Video® you'll actually love to rewatch. It's raw, real, and totally you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Truly a white-glove service! We decided to use Press Record Co for our wedding after deciding against a traditional videographer, and looking back, it was one of the best decisions we made. What makes Press Record Co so special is that it allowed us to experience our wedding day through the eyes of our friends and family. The candid moments, genuine reactions, and little memories that might have otherwise gone unnoticed ended up being some of our favorite parts of the final video. When we received our edited film, we were blown away. It perfectly captured the joy, emotion, and energy of the day in a way that felt authentic to us. We've already watched it multiple times and know it will be something we treasure for years to come. If you're on the fence about hiring a videographer or looking for a more personal and affordable option, we can't recommend Press Record Co enough. The entire team was fantastic, and we're so grateful to have these memories preserved in such a unique way.

I love working with people in the entertainment business, it's what I know & care about. There is no better type of work then being able to see people happy & excited. I have always been very creative & artistic, which is why I work well editing videos & writing music.

I didn't have a way to contact DJ Scotty G for 2 weeks before our wedding (my phone broke), so I couldn't get our song list emailed to him. The day of the wedding, he showed up early so we could get it set. He didn't have our song in his vast music library and didn't get a signal at our wedding venue so while we were saying "I do", he went in search of a signal, got our song downloaded, and had it playing when we walked into our reception. This above and beyond service meant the world to us!

I love going places with my camera and enjoy capturing the content around me. I love starting a new project, and having an open opportunity to be creative and original. And finally, I love making a product that can be used as a keepsake to help relive and remember special times.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bailey is a true artist! Our wedding video is something we were very nervous about. We even considered not hiring a videographer because we were so worried about feeling uncomfortable on camera! Bailey moved about our wedding day capturing every important moment completely undetected, and I mean that in the best way possible! We didn't even realize in the moment that we were being filmed. She captured the most meaningful, genuine moments of our day and after seeing the final product, we can't even imagine not having this video to cherish for the rest of our lives. At our reception we had an audio guest book that provided us with a bunch of audio from our loved ones. We gave Bailey the huge task of adding some of that audio to our final video. We were completely blown away by how she mixed the audio from our friends and family with the other audio and video from the day! We now have a beautiful highlight reel that we can show to friends and family, we have an edited video of our vows with multiple angles, we have all of the toasts in an edited video, and, one of our favorite things about what Bailey offers with her videography packages, we have all of the raw, unedited footage so we don't forget a single moment of the day. Bailey is caring, flexible, professional, and has an unmatched talent for the art of videography!

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.

It is so hard for me to write a review on Maloch Media, because it is so hard to put into words how exceptional they are. Trevor and his team are such a joy to be around on one of the most important days of your life. Trevor wasn't just there as a videographer but there as a friend. Throughout the whole day he was making sure that I was comfortable and had what I needed, and he was there to comfort me during the overwhelming times. He exceeded any expectations that I may have had. I truly cannot say enough great things about him and his work, it is truly exceptional. Every time that we watch our wedding video we are just overwhelmed with emotions, the video makes us feel like we are reliving the day all over again. He captured things that we don't even remember seeing on our wedding day. His work is impeccable. Maloch Media is the perfect addition to any wedding, they are worth every penny and more!

Hiring Jacob is a NO BRAINER! I cannot say enough great things about or experience! From the moment we hired him, and the whole process of receiving our video and raw footage afterwards... was smooth, easy, and we are eternally grateful! To this day, we always tell everyone how important it is to hire a videographer... the emotion is very different from photos. Live footage just helps you piece back together and process your perfect day! I had asked for a few different things, like having music playing through the whole video and snippets of both of our vows and Jacob way overdelivered and exceeded my expectations! Check out his Vimeo videos- they are unreal and will give you all the feels! Do not hesitate in hiring him. The video he creates will bring back all the best moments of your wedding day!

A fun, candid alternative to traditional wedding videography. Your favorite people capture the laughs, happy tears, behind-the-scenes moments, and dance floor chaos on easy-to-use camcorders, and we turn it all into the wedding home movie you’ll watch for years to come. Add a nostalgic touch with our 35mm camera rentals — perfect for candid guest photos, behind-the-scenes moments, and flash-filled memories that feel straight out of a family photo album.

We worked with YouFilm for our Las Vegas elopement and working with them was such a joy! It was such an easy process, and they were responsive and kind from start to finish. We received the camcorders quickly, and they came with great instructions on how to operate them and how the YouFilm process works. Our friends filmed the whole day, and we packed up the camcorders and sent them back to YouFilm. They also provided a link for us to upload any footage people might have taken on their phones, to supplement the camcorder video. The wedding video we got back from YouFilm is so special, I feel like it really captures the joy and silliness of the day. The camcorder footage gives the whole day a dreamy, nostalgic feel, and they did such a beautiful job editing and curating footage that really feels like us. They even included a social media edit, which was set to the music of our own Elvis officiant! Absolutely loved working with YouFilm, can't recommend them highly enough.

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 :)"

We believe the best wedding films come from real connection — not stiff posing or overly staged moments. Our approach is calm, intentional, and story-driven, allowing couples to stay fully present while we quietly capture the atmosphere, energy, and meaningful moments of the day.

These videographers are outstanding! Words can't describe how much Lev and Nina made our wedding everything I wanted and more. Planning a wedding during covid has been very challenging and my venues and vendors have been cancelling left and right. I changed my wedding plans to 3 completely different location in Washington because of covid. Every time I had a hardship with the wedding and a change of plans, Nina and Lev have been the easiest and most understanding and compassionate individuals that helped me navigate the next steps because I did not want to post pone. They never once made me feel stressed with having things constantly change. Nina and Lev also put %150 into this project! I also would recommend adding the pre video because it gave me a chance to get to know Nina and Lev and become friends prior to the wedding so that I felt like they were good friends surrounded by us on our important day! Not just videographers!! There is a huge difference in their quality of video compared to any other I researched !
