Disappointed

It doesn't apparently the screenshots will upload in order.

My now husband and I hired Jeff to capture our wedding as our videographer. He also came to our engagement shoot and produced a beautiful engagement video.

Jeff showed up morning of our wedding and I provided him with a clipboard with any and all relevant information to make it easier on him throughout the day (I also provided the same information prior).

We started the day on the right foot until it was time to do my first look with my dad. Jeff had left equipment in the groomsmens hotel room for whatever reason, so while he ran around trying to figure out how to retrieve his equipment as the guys were not in their rooms, my dad and I both are just standing there waiting to do our first look, putting us behind schedule because he wasn't prepared.
We get it figured out, and continue on with our day.
Throughout the day, I could sense tension between my photographer and Jeff, our videographer. My photographer has since let me know that she will never shoot a wedding with a videographer in the future because of how difficult Jeff made her job. Jeff even made my photographer stop taking pictures of my bridemaids and I out on the dock preceremony because he wanted to get video footage (this is important for later).

On July 25th I reached out to Jeff to confirm roughly how long it would take to receive our video, on August 4th he responded 4-6 weeks, but he was half way completed already! we expressed our excitement and waited.

On August 28th I reached out to Jeff again to ask how things were coming along, he told me extremely good but was waiting to hear back from us on the trailer he had sent. I had not received a trailer, nor had he let me know he had sent one. He "resent" it right away. My husband and I were extremely impressed with the trailer and were so excited to receive the full video.

On September 2nd (6 week mark) I reached out to Jeff to ask if he had an ETA. I didn't receive a response.
On September 6th I reached out again, reiterating that we understood if he was running behind, however would just appreciate some communication. He replied and let me know that I would receive it the next day in the afternoon.
September 7th at 6:12pm I asked if he could just send me a message when he emailed the video over, he let me know that the upload was taking a while and may not be done by the time he goes to bed, but would keep me updated on the progress.

I reached out again September 9th, 13th, and 14th. All unanswered. I will note he tried to call me on the 14th after expressing worry, I missed the call and tried to call him back 2-3minutes later and left a voice mail.

September 15th Jeff had texted me to finally let me know that the delay was due to him having a hard time finding a way to send me the file as it was so large along with the link to download our video. He also suggested mailing me the raw footage on a USB, I asked if my maid of honour who was local to him could pick up, we arranged that and i expressed to him that communication and being upfront with clients is super important and appreciated rather than ignoring and leaving clients in the dark. Jeff expressed the appreciation of my honesty and that communication was something he was working on. This was the last time Jeff has communicated with me- even though I have expressed some concerns and disappointment with our video since.

On September 21st after reviewing all of the raw footage, I reached out asking if there was any footage of myself with my bridemaids. No response.
On September 25th I reached out again , no response.
On September 27th I sent my last message, that I will admit, I was very frustrated when sending. Today is October 10th, with zero communication. I am so disappointed.

My biggest piece of advice when hiring a videographer, ask to see a full wedding video, not just their highlight clips. And if communication, integrity and customer service is important to you, stear clear of Free Spirit Studios.

Talented Videographer

I wanted to start off this review by mentioning that Jeff is not only a professional and talented videographer, but he's also a genuinely amazing person and has been an absolute pleasure to work with. He will patiently listen to your needs and will make your vision come to life. Not only did the video blow us away, but Jeff's great attitude up to and during the event and his promptness in getting the video to us was outstanding - he truly went above and beyond and helped make our wedding day perfect. If you're thinking of hiring a videographer, I would recommend Free Spirit Studio in a heartbeat!

Jeff was more than videographer for us.

Jeff was very flexible with us, with the ideas we had. He lesten and go beyond what was expected from him. We would go with him over and over again. Definitely worth it.

I highly recommend

For our wedding we had Jeff from Free spirit Studio.
I was a little camera shy at first but Jeff was so down to earth yet very professional, from preparing in the morning to dancing at the reception I got so comfortable in front of the camera, not to even mention the video we got from them was so beautiful, it capture the true story of me and my husband's love.

Amazing Videographer

Jeff was amazing to work with. When he told me not to worry, I didn't! He was so friendly, relaxed, and confident. Our wedding day video turned out brilliantly, we've watched it multiple times and sent it to people around the world, they all loved it. I'm looking forward to working on a different kind of project with Jeff, he's truly amazing.
