We're all about telling epic love stories – no cookie-cutter stuff here. Based in Miami but up for an adventure anywhere, we're not your average wedding videographers. Think of us as your partners in memory-making. We'll be there laughing, dancing, and capturing every crazy, beautiful moment. Our mission is simple: make your love shine. No rules, no boredom. Your love story is one-of-a-kind, and that's how we approach filming it. We're not just about the big scenes; we're into the little details, the stolen glances, the goofy grins – everything that makes your love yours.

We are so thrilled to be writing this review because we simply cannot speak highly enough of Trey and TreeHouse. We have never worked with video for another event before, so we weren’t sure quote what to look for, but came across Trey’s videos and could immediately tell they were something special. We’re both musicians and also appreciated how well the edits synced with the music as well. We were hoping that our wedding video would have a documentary feel — capturing the beautiful natural location in New York’s Catskill mountains and the feeling of our group of people coming together to celebrate us. It was a laid back wedding and a really amazing group of loved ones and we wanted to see and hear things that wouldn’t be captured in photos and we wouldn’t be able to take in at the time. Trey helped craft a specific package to meet our request and speaking to him it was clear he understood what we were hoping for and built on that vision with his perspective. Wow! Trey delivered!! He brought in a second shooter, Brent, who was so helpful in capturing the day. Not only were they truly amazing people to be around (all of our friends and family were so comfortable and at ease with them), they were exceptionally professional and skilled. They kept us calm and collected in the midst of details and a tight wedding day schedule. Watching the videos was an emotional experience because Trey managed to capture the feeling of the wedding celebration perfectly and get candid and intimate interviews with our friends and family that touched us (and were new to us) months after the wedding. It was clear just how carefully Trey had listened to us in our meetings leading up to the wedding — he heard us and did an amazing job bringing our dreams to life. I really wish I had videos like this capturing other important times in my life. If you are considering whether to get a videographer for your special event or wedding, you absolutely should. If you are considering Treehouse Creative, I cannot recommend it highly enough as people and as professionals! Seriously!

I looked at SO MANY wedding videos and they were all so similar and cookie cutter. They were lacking something but I couldn’t put my finger on it. THEN I FOUND JIMMY SHIN. I watched his videos and found myself sobbing at strangers videos! He made me feel like I knew the bride and groom after just 7 minutes. He's so good! Jimmy will take your wedding video and turn it into the most beautiful story. The video he made for us just so beautifully captured my husband and I's day! It's a video i'll cherish for the rest of my life. I can't wait for our kids to be able to watch it. UGH, seriously hire this man and you won't regret it.

I’ve spent over a decade painting love stories in motion—capturing not just moments, but the emotional truth behind them. My approach is rooted in trust and collaboration. I take the time to truly connect with each couple because I’ve found that the most meaningful films are created when my clients feel seen, heard, and understood. If you’re looking for a cinematic experience that lingers—where shots breathe, and your story is told with intentionality and emotional depth—I’d be honored to explore what we can create together. I don’t just show up with a camera; I show up ready to partner with you in crafting something heartfelt and lasting.

It’s easy to say in the moment how ammmmaaazzziiinnnnggg someone is. The high of the wedding definitely had me singing praises to all the wrong people. I will say that to date, I am still very happy with my wedding video. I got married 4/28/2019 in De Leon Springs, FL. Ehrpraim met with my (then fiancé) and I on Skype a few weeks before. We had nothing for him… what do you mean 'what theme do we have for our wedding?!?!?' We were the kind of bride and groom who had no idea of what we wanted but knew very well what we didn’t want. Ehpriam was awesome. It’s obvious he has been doing weddings forever… he was calm and cool while I’m sure I was seconds away from passing out. He talked us through everything, gave suggestions, listened (that was big). When the wedding day came I felt like I was 100% not prepared. It was Ehpriam and one other person (I think... i mean who can remember such details lol). They were professional and he had a great sense of humor. It was a hot day but they didn't complain. Ephriam smiled the entire time and that was so reassuring. The video process is kind of awkward but I can actually say I enjoyed myself. I really didn’t have to think about anything. He moved us around and gave directions. We didn’t ask questionsbecause… why would we? He knows what he is doing! One of my top moments at the wedding was when his assistant hid in 3 foot grass to hold my smoke bomb. We found out later there may have been garden snakes in there but I try to forget that bit of information. The preview and the video were amazing. If I had to do it again (im not lol) I would still pick EFP. I don’t remember seeing much of the cameras but they got all of the moments I was hopping for. I got top notch service for a fair price. I can’t complain. I know 50 years from now I will still tear up when I see my wedding video! I couldn't have asked for a better videographer.

Steve was such a pleasure to work with from start to finish! He was invested in what was important to us to capture while also doing what he does best and getting us incredible footage we never would have thought to get. He did all of this so seamlessly--he was so calm throughout the whole wedding day. He worked really well with our photographer and was a great team player. We felt so supported by Steve, and never felt like it was "just another wedding" to him. We felt like old friends by the end of the night. Our video turned out better than I could have imagined, and that is coming from someone who grew up watching beautiful YouTube videos of strangers' weddings and just wishing I could have the same one day. Well, Steve exceeded my high expectations! He is such an artist and is so creative. Our video is like a fairytale and we can't stop watching it. You want the best of the best entrusted with the task of capturing your special day, and Steve is just that!

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!

At Still Do Media, we believe your wedding deserves to be remembered beautifully. Choosing the right wedding photographer and videographer is one of the most important decisions you'll make, and we're here to make it easy.

Still Do was so helpful and professional from the very first meeting. We booked for just videography services. Last week, our videographer was unexpectedly not available, but Still Do Media handled this situation very carefully and calmly, and they had a standby videographer in the backup team. Matt, our backup videographer, is amazing! He stepped in a few days before the wedding with professionalism and positive energy. He captured every detail in perfect style. I just had a little bad experience with how they deliver raw footage unprofessionally. Folders and clips are messed up and disorganized. But our experience with Still Do Media is incredible. We are always thankful for making our wedding such a memorable and joyful experience!

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!

Our approach to wedding filmmaking is simple- deliver the most sincere, organic recollection of the day by acting as unnoticeably as possible. By eliminating the pressures of being filmed, our couples are able to enjoy each moment of their day and be truly present in the experience, providing us with an authentic and emotional collection of frames. Weddings are our passion and we enjoy being able to assist with planning, coordinating and timeline creation throughout the months leading up to your big day. We’re with you every step of the way and are dedicated to creating the best possible version of your love story.

Rhys was great to work with!! He provided so much guidance leading up to the wedding day, going over my timeline and making recommendations based on how long he's seen things take. He also provides a list of suggested do's and dont's that you wouldn't realize have an impact on the video - it was so helpful!! Before the wedding he also has a prep call to go over all the details and any notes/requests we have for the videos (vibe we're looking for, any cinematic requests, song requests, etc.) He was another great presence to have the day of! We haven't gotten the video back yet but right after our wedding we got an email that lists out all the steps they take throughout video production. We've since gotten emails every time our video has moved to the next step. The communication from Rhys since we booked has been so incredible!

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 :)"

It is also a priority of ours that your film resonates with your spirit. That it represents you, your story, your love, and your style authentically. That's why we get to know you and your partner well and cater to your preferred look.

These guys doesn't just capture your wedding, they tell the story of your legacy! Every step of the way they communicate how to grab the best shots that come together to make a gorgeous after video! I can't recommend Monstera enough!

I’m Holly (she/her), a 28-year-old wedding videographer based in Grand Rapids, MI. I love for telling stories. Being a wedding videographer is truly a fly on the wall experience and I get to let you truly relive that day through video. You'll see yourself hugging your mom/dad at the end of the aisle, your first kiss as you're pronounced married for the first time, hear your vows to each other. I cannot explain how grateful I am to give you those slices of time.

I'd give Holly 5 more stars if I could! Holly is the absolute BEST and handled all the videography for our wedding. It was a no-brainer for us to pick Holly for the gig, and the video she created captured our big day in the most magical way. Holly worked seamlessly with our photographer to capture all the right shots and portray our wedding day in a way that is true to who we are as a couple. Holly was very organized before our wedding day too, meeting with me multiple times to make sure she was capturing our vision perfectly. I could not recommend Holly more, she truly is the best of both worlds - the most amazing photographer and videographer and the nicest human!

Hi, I am Emily! I'm happy that you've landed on my page. I specialize in covering videography as well as photography. I have been shooting weddings since 2013. I fell in love with watching people be in love! You can't find a better gig. I went on to receive my Bachelor of Arts in 2019. I've really been able to put my education to work in regards to all things wedding films. When I'm not shooting weddings, I am doing real estate photography, binge watching Bob's Burgers and Saturday Night Live, or most likely eating something delicious. ;)

We couldn't have been happier to hire Emily for our videography. Like many other 2020 couples, we downsized our event to be an intimate ceremony. We last minute decided to hire a videographer, and luckily for us Emily was available! Our day was pretty chaotic with a lot of moving pieces, and she went with the flow with patience and kindness. By the end of the night, we felt like she had been a friend forever. The video is absolute perfection, and we are so thankful she saved the day last minute and gave us an impressive video to share with our family and friends who could not be in attendance. If we could give more than 5 stars on every category, we would!

A husband and wife photo video team based in Illinois, but say the word, and we are out of here! We absolutely love to travel and explore new places! So many of our clients have become our friends because We love getting to know you, and your family and friends and making everyone comfortable in front of the camera while capturing the real essence of you and everyone you love. We have been together for seventeen years, married for six. We truly are best friends who love working together and we think this shows in our work when shooting weddings together!

Ashley & Ryan are my favorite co-workers in this industry. Zero clarity issues, overall vibe is middle of the dance floor until we drop. The quality of video is more than expected when I see co-clients post. Their work in both areas is phenomenal and truly are sweethearts. Great communication with other photographers and the clients we work with. Highly recommend them as a team!
