All that we knew when we were looking for a wedding videographer was that we wanted something original and creative, something that would tell our story rather than the standard wedding story. Adam blew us away. He listened to our ideas, offered suggestions and collected information like our favorite Spotify playlists, etc. Come wedding day we barely even saw him. He wove in and out of the guests so subtly that now that we've been showing people the video they all ask where the cameraperson was, because they don't remember seeing one. Even our photographers, who of course will always have concerns about working with a videographer for the first time, shared with us how easy Adam was to shoot with and how much they enjoyed him.

Most importantly, we are still amazed every time that we watch the video (which must be 100+ times by now). Adam over-delivered for us and created something that we never would have thought was possible. We can't recommend him enough.

We absolutely love the video Adam put together and I am so grateful to have it to watch again and again.  My husband and I were on the fence about having a videographer + photographer, and in particular were worried about redundancy with photographers and signing on an entourage of paparazzi, but are so glad we hired both.  We never had issues with discreteness and were blown away by the video Adam put together.  Adam’s video captures a story of our wedding, weaving together the most epic drone shots, background time lapses and memorable moments. 

Adam’s videos speak for themselves and are the reason that we chose him as our videographer. I researched numerous filmmakers, but none tell a story as Adam does, or use effects and sweeping landscape views to capture the whole experience and energy of the day. His creations are not a rote chronological recounting of the day, starting with make-up and shirt-buttoning to wedding to party, but rather are beautiful, original and creative films that tell a story and present the moments as an experience that allows the video to be watched over and over again.

What the videos do not portray is how great Adam is to work with, and a ninja. We asked Adam to be as discrete as possible so it would not look like we invited paparazzi to the event, and he completely delivered, without sacrificing the quality of the video.  From our initial email to him, he was consistently responsive and accommodating, and after the wedding he put the video together promptly and adjusted it upon request to include a few extra shots of people we later decided we wanted included.

Adam is an old friend of mine, and agreed to create our wedding video. He made our wedding video so personal and magical. He is extremely professional, and easy-going and friendly (slightly hilarious) guy to work with. He made it comfortable to be filmed without knowing he was shooting close-ups, and only had his handheld equipment which made it extremely flexible to work with our (2) day-of photographers as well, with minimal footprint. Adam is so creative and attentive to the fine details including the editing of the video, and made only a few requested edits to the film with adding in cuts of specific family members. His music choice and cuts were flawless and took us right back to our special day. His eye for creative and beautiful shots is effortless. It was also special to have him as a vendor and guest at our wedding that day. Highly recommend!
