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.

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.

Imagine your wedding filmed by the people who know you best - your friends and family. With Press Record Co, we ship you a camcorder to capture every laugh, tear, and dance move, then you simply send it back to us to do the heavy lifting. 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.

I was getting 2–3k videographer quotes and honestly thought I’d have zero wedding footage… UNTIL I stumbled across this company. Affordable, simple, and truly so special. I now have memories of my parents, grandparents, and friends that I’ll treasure forever. I almost tried to DIY the whole thing, but realistically editing my own wedding footage would’ve taken me until our first anniversary. They made everything fun and effortless. Thank you SO much!

Any talented wedding videographer can create a 5-minute cinematic wedding film of your wedding but there's so much more to a wedding day than that. That is the most distinguishing feature about my work. While, I craft my videos around the love you share, the fun you have when it's just the two of you as well as the celebration with your family/guests is what makes each story so unique. So, as you'll notice in the examples, no two wedding videos are the same. I customize each wedding video I create to fit the couple I'm working with as well as the flow of the day, which will allow you to relive your day the way that it actually happened!

Gordon is a talented videographer and editor! He filmed our wedding day and really captured our relationship, our personalities, and the emotions we had on our big day. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve cried happy tears watching our teaser video and our full highlight video. Gordon provides so many options for your video package too, which was a big win for us. He was so great to work with on our wedding day and even encouraged us to embrace the rain for our sparkler exit. I would highly recommend Gordon to film your wedding day. His talent shines in all of his videos! - Rachel and Adam, June 8, 2024 Waldenwoods

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!

I have always had a camera. Yes, I was that one kid in HS. Drove my mother's freckles up the wall. But HEY, here I am doing what I absolutely love. My heart, is that you should not have to take out a loan to pay for your wedding, you can if you want, you should not HAVE to. This is where I come in, I work with my bride's unique budget and curate packages unique to their needs. It's an absolute joy!

As the bride having not met Courtney and the team at Blue Flower Films in person I was unsure about proceeding to commit to using them. However, we were impressed by their professional and detailed communication style. They were accommodating throughout the entire process, working closely with us to ensure they captured our special day in a way that beautifully reflected our faith and love. The final photography and videography work was pleasantly surprising - as their artistic eye allowed them to capture so many meaningful moments that we'll cherish forever. We were especially grateful that they were able to take outdoor photos for us when the rain stopped, allowing us to have those natural views to remember. We recommend trusting Courtney and her talented team to capture special moments of your your wedding.

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!

  • Serves Dongola, IL

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 there’s nothing in this world more powerful than a good story! Yes, we borrowed that from Game of Thrones (thanks, Tyrion). But hey, it perfectly sums us up—minus the dragons and drama. We craft unforgettable wedding films that turn your love story into pure cinematic magic!

Kurt was the videographer for a photo shoot at Fishermen's Inn. He was great to work with. . .so positive and so happy! He is professional and personable. He captured all of the great moments of the shoot! I would highly recommend!
