When people say wedding photos are priceless, I didn’t really get it until now. These are beyond priceless, they are everything. There’s a shot of my dad hugging me so tight before walking me down the aisle, and I will never forget that moment because of them. The video is just as powerful, showing both the laughter and the tears. They didn’t miss a single thing, from the ceremony to the after-party dancing. Even little details like the cake cutting and my niece running around are captured beautifully. The editing is gorgeous but not overdone. They worked so quietly but somehow managed to be everywhere at once. It’s clear they really cared about giving us something special. I’ll always be grateful.

Blossom and Bee were one of the approved vendors on our venue's list. It was an easy process working with Penny and her team. I was able to pin inspo pictures on a Pinterest board as well as share pictures of my dress, my husband's tux, and our wedding invitation suite. As a bride of Indian origin, I wanted bright spring florals that also complimented the industrial/French look of our venue. I was overwhelmed by the number of color combinations I was interested in and the team helped me narrow down to the best color scheme. Something to note is that you will need to provide bud vases and rent floral stands from B&B if that is something you want in your decor. Luckily my venue provided a moon gate that could be used for the ceremony, and the venue staff repurposed the florals from the ceremony to the sweetheart table.

It’s movie magic with Jesse. He is a kind and professional videographer who has experience with a lot of events so even with unexpected things that may come up, he knows how to roll with it and capture your special moments. The quality of his equipment is unreal meaning that it is so sharp and he also has a drone. He traveled from NJ to my Brooklyn wedding and was on time. The package also came with blu-ray DVDs which had chapter bookmarks so we can go to the important moments. But the nicest personal touch was a customized USB drive he sent that had our names engraved! These pics are screenshots from our highlight film. One thing I wish I would have specified is to get more footage of our family and friends - while it was nice to have a focus on us in some moments, I wish we talked through that so I could have soaked in more but I also know the limits to having one videographer. I think he has a separate editing team especially when it’s busy season but it would have been nice to know if he wasn’t the main person stitching it together as we communicated on vision. My lesson learned is stick with the typical 2-month turnaround and don’t try to get it sooner like I did in my contract because he makes really good quality videos but it’ll take time if you want it done right. Overall, you will not regret hiring him for your wedding - you will also feel comfortable around him which is important!
