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.

Boxcar Videography

Hey guys, we are a collective that has come together to better serve our community. They say “if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Benjamin and Kelsey met at a coffee house when Kelsey was a cute girl with a camera in hand. Needless to say, they discovered that they had a mutual passion for more than just photography. We are chasers of our next adventure. Whether that be on a windy mountaintop, or in a deep valley for intimate quite moments. We are obsessed with capturing images of our couples that truly resonate with them.

If you are of the opinion that the photographer is one of the most important roles in your wedding, you are looking in the right place. Ben of Boxcar was exactly what I wanted in a photographer: easy to work with, flexible, personable, adventurous, respectful, responsive, passionate and generous. In addition to being an all-around great guy, Ben also knows how to use a camera. I'm not sure I am qualified to try and classify his style, but I would say it has a certain photo-journalist quality to it. A quality that conveys realism, but is also very artistic. Long and short of it is, I highly recommend this guy. You will not be disappointed.

My name is Gage Horne, the owner of Gage Horne Studios. I started my company in 2019 (officially) but have been doing video work starting at the age of 11. It started as gaming videos uploaded to YouTube, to shooting professional dance films in college, to starting my own Video Production Service. I found true passion in my work when I realized how important wedding videos are. I had already shot 100+ films before my wedding but realized as a consumer how valuable it is. I love what I do and finding intriguing/interesting ways to display those pieces is what keeps me creative and constantly making my films better.

As another wedding vendor, it's great working with Gage at events. Gage is the consummate professional who has attention to detail. He will capture your day and create a cinematic-quality video that will be breathtaking to watch. This video will be a keepsake for you, your children, and your grandchildren that will give the born and the unborn in your family the ability to relive that special day for years to come.

I have filmed over 700 weddings since 2006. I film in 4K resolution from multiple angles, because the happiest day of your life is too important to only film with only one camera. Filming weddings is the best part of my job, because I get to meet so many people and make their memories last forever. I'm always thinking long term; Someday you'll watch your wedding video with your children and grandchildren, and I take pride in making that a beautiful experience.

Aaron was an absolute delight! So considerate and friendly. He made the process fun and relaxing! I couldn't have asked for a better person to do the job on my big day! Thanks Aaron!

Videography by : Martin Shin Photography by :Kero & Itten

Awarded Best of Zola
Having Making Lab at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. The team was incredible. From the very beginning, Martin and Kero were warm, approachable, and quick to answer my questions. They happily jumped on calls to help plan our timeline. On the day of the wedding, the team arrived promptly and got to work right away. A 10-hour day of smiling and posing sounds exhausting, but Martin and Kero made it fun and effortless. They helped realign us when we were running behind schedule and never made us feel rushed. Their editing style is truly beautiful. It's soft and romantic, with a touch of vintage and cinematic. Martin and Kero are extremely artistic and talented. I had four different looks throughout the day, and Kero captured each one in its own distinct style, yet everything still felt cohesive and aligned with the overall aesthetic. Martin is an amazing storyteller. He beautifully showcases the love and joy we felt on our big day in what feels like a movie trailer. They made sure to include our dog in our special moments as well, sometimes even making him the star of the show! My heart flutters every time a new file is uploaded to our drive because I'm so excited to see what new magic they've created. Every time we look through our photos or hit play on our video, it feels like we're reliving that special day all over again. We are beyond grateful for the way they captured our love and preserved our memories so beautifully. By the end of the night, it felt like we had gained friends rather than just hired vendors. We truly could not recommend Making Lab more!
