Well this is definitely one of those times where I was more than pleasantly surprised, I was ecstatic about the way it had turned out! They really took their time to ensure that the feel and the movement of the video matched the types of songs and preserved the "feel" of our wedding day. If I could only have either a photographer or a videographer, without a doubt I would pick the videographer. Everyone has complimented us so much because of our wedding video, and looking back I would have regretted it if we had not opted to have a videographer record it. The people there are friendly and professional. I didn't run into any issues with them at all when asking all the questions i had asked, followed by even more questions..... Some people may say, "Oh just have a friend record it......" My advise would be Absolutely Do Not have a friend record it! It was worth every penny, even more than our wedding photographers (although he is good, one photographer is not enough) We may not even need a wedding album now, because we have such an amazing wedding video! All thanks to Mike and Keith J. at Poetic Productions!

If you are considering whether or not to hire a videographer for your wedding, the decision is…read moreeasy... I would wholeheartedly recommend (1) having a videographer, and (2) hiring Keith from Poetic Productions. There are certain things that photography just can capture--the emotion in my father's voice during his toast, my husband rubbing my hands as we're saying our vows, and the raw emotion when reading the card that my husband wrote me before we headed to the church. In researching videographers, I came across really cheesy/poorly done work (but cheap) and high-tech/movie-quality/EXPENSIVE options. Keith strikes the right balance in that his work is very professional, artistic and emotional, while also being very affordable. If you can afford it, I would recommend getting a second shooter for at least part of your wedding--the second shooter can capture the bride walking down the aisle AND the groom's reaction, the best man giving his speech AND the bride and groom's reactions, etc. My husband and I could not have been happier with our wedding video from Keith--check it out here if you're interested: http://poeticweddings.com/events/allison-and-matthew.html. Pretty great, in my unbiased opinion! :) In short, I'd HIGHLY recommend Keith from Poetic Productions. The video was absolutely beautiful and worth every penny!

I worked with Philipe and Mirar for my wedding videography at Adler. I could not have asked for a…read morebetter experience or memorialization of our wedding in video. As a talent, Philipe is an incredibly creative and versatile. He is a video editor so when shooting, he already has an eye for the finished video ensuring it is spot on with your vision. For my shorter teaser clip, he selected music and footage that was so well coordinated and made for a unique story. Apart from his talent, he is a consummate professional - he was timely, clear, and responsive to creative input or otherwise. He even went above and beyond to take the lead in moving along our wedding when we went over time. As a person, Philipe is a joy to work with - he is collaborative, personable, and authentic, bringing a calming energy to the room. I recommend Philipe and Mirar without hesitation and know it will enhance your wedding experience.

At one of…read moreour initial budget meetings with our wedding planner, she told us that couples who choose not to hire a videographer often say it's one of their biggest regrets after their wedding. We ultimately decided to follow her advice and I'm SO glad that we did! Philipe and the entire Mirar team did an incredible job capturing our day. Our wedding video is absolutely perfect - Philipe told the story beautifully. We would definitely recommend Mirar Productions to any couple seeking a videographer for their wedding!

I visited their office in Northbrook and was shown to their super cool movie theater room. There Jeff explained the many options for videography and had so many video examples to show. One of the options was a cinema style video, which is basically creating a movie out of someone's bar-mitzvah. The videos were so amazing that I found myself glued to the stories of random 13 year old's special days and when Jeff turned one off after a few min I was bummed I wouldn't find out what happened to Drew! Drew's bar-mitzvah kept me as engaged as some of my favorite TV shows! They also take photo montages to the next level. Jeff showed one example of an art themed bat-mitzvah where the young artist basically walked thru one of her paintings into a gallery of all of her art. I was sold and came home brainstorming many ideas for what we can do for my daughter's montage in a few years. Xpress was the only video production company I looked at and I immediately decided they were the one. Between our initial meeting, the Yelp reviews & glowing review from our planner I think they'd be tough to top!
