“When my (now) husband and I first started planning our wedding, we were on the fence about hiring a videographer. We’d heard from friends that not having one was their biggest regret, so we decided to explore our options. That’s when we came across Valley Productions, and we are so glad we did! From the moment we discovered Joe’s work, we knew we wanted to hire him for our wedding day. We loved the light, airy aesthetic of his videos and the focused detail shots he shared on his Instagram and website. His communication was fast and thorough; he answered all of our questions in a timely manner, making the whole process seamless and stress-free. Before the big day, he looked into using a drone for aerial shots. He took it upon himself to receive permissions to use his drone (due to the proximity of a nearby airport), and we were amazed to see the breathtaking footage of our venue from above. On the day of the wedding, Joe was nothing short of professional. He had great ideas for poses and shots, and he relayed what he envisioned clearly, making us feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera. His easy-going personality made him a hit with our entire wedding party. By the end of the day, it felt like Joe was just another member of the wedding party. He was cracking jokes, keeping the mood light, and capturing our natural, goofy selves in a way that made the footage feel truly personal. Receiving our wedding video was an experience in itself. Joe sent it to us in a beautiful, hand-painted box, complete with the Valley Productions logo, our last name, and our wedding date. Inside was a hard drive with the video, along with a thoughtfully created movie night care package—popcorn (with plenty of butter, of course), popcorn bags, a movie slate (which doubled as a whiteboard for us to write our wedding date and names on), an expo marker, a card, and two wooden movie tickets engraved with our names and wedding date. It was such a special and unexpected touch that perfectly demonstrates Joe’s passion and attention to detail. If you’re on the fence about hiring a videographer, consider this your sign: Book Joe Valley and Valley Productions! He brings not only an incredible eye and vision for film but a level of passion for the work he does that truly elevates the wedding experience. We couldn’t be happier with our decision and will cherish our wedding video for years to come.”
