No regrets!
We hired Chad pretty last minute- only about two months ahead of our wedding- because I read a bunch of articles from newlyweds that said not having a videographer was their top regret. Was it an overreaction on my part? Maybe. But I am really glad that we ended up having Chad capture our wedding day. He was really helpful and knowledgeable, and was able to work with us despite our short timeline. He was also very reasonably priced, and we were able to get a great package with extended time on a special. We are so pleased with how our video came out-- we were even surprised to see that there was some beautiful drone footage of the town we got married in! He has a great eye for capturing beautiful moments and putting them together in a way that is pleasing and that will last for a lifetime!
100%!!
Chad filmed our 7/21/24 wedding. He was very responsive to our inquiries and very easy to work with. Super friendly, down to earth, kind person. We ordered a trailer, highlights film, and a longer version with dances, entrances, speeches, etc. We are blown away with the videos we received. We would definitely recommend Chad as a wedding videographer. We don’t have a single negative thing to say.
Absolute Pleasure!
Working with Chad was an absolute pleasure! During the preparation process, he was incredibly responsive, professional, and answered all of our questions thoroughly. On the day of the wedding, Chad did an amazing job filming not only the “big” moments (ceremony, speeches, first dance), but also capturing other special moments between our guests throughout the night. We recently got our videos back and were blown away! The recap and documentary videos’ visual and sound quality were great, and Chad did an amazing job of piecing the whole day together! Highly recommend having a wedding video as a memento and would recommend working with Chad any day!
Awesome
Chad and his wife were very personable and very dedicated to making our wedding day very special. They were both always willing to answer any questions, requests and concerns we had. The video created by Chad was awesome and beautiful. From day one, Chad was very professional and easy to communicate with. His creativity was top notch. Wedding days can be very hectic and stressful. However, Chad helped to create a calm environment by granting the requests we had in mind with the little time we had allotted. All of this, while advising us how things would look better for our wedding video. You can tell he has been doing this for a long time. His experience shows! We would recommend Chad for any functions requiring professional videography without hesitation. Thank you again from O'Neill and Monica.
