Alan Fitch at Life Events Video Production was our videographer for the family reunion we do every…read more10 years called The Decade Party. Since it doesn't happen very often, it's naturally very important to us to capture the memories of the event! Alan was amazingly wonderful and completely dependable...both during the shooting as well as with the editing. Plus before the party he edited the video from our 2005 Decade Party so we could play a short version of it at this one and he led me patiently through the editing process. He worked along with our DJ to handle some of the projection challenges (Skyping a relative) before the event. He was always very easy to contact and answered all my questions. During the party, he got all the important parts of it and was very inconspicuous with his camera. But where Alan really impressed me was after the party when I was trying to edit the raw footage and get it all ready to give to people at Christmas. I had a very tight deadline, but Alan came through beautifully and made it happen...and he inserted 10 custom titles that I had made specifically for the video! I was simply amazed at how patient he was, and he even dropped the finished DVDs off at my place to save me time. But even with all this custom work I thought his charges were very reasonable. I can't recommend Alan highly enough...I would hire him again in a heartbeat!!!

My husband and I wanted a bit of a different vibe than the usual, traditional wedding. We wanted a dark, romantic aesthetic, but with a fun, chill vibe. Franz, Nick, and the team absolutely nailed the aesthetic and energy we were going for. They also made the process so easy, it was like working with friends. Every aspect, the photos, the videos, sneak peaks, previews... are incredible. We still hear about the amazing cinematography and moments captured from family and friends.

The day went by so fast I feel like I didn't get to soak in any of the small details (like the decor and the flowers) and it was so wonderful to be able to watch our ceremony again and catch things that I missed or forgot on the day of. Kyle did such a great job capturing our wedding in August. We loved the highlight reel he sent us and have already gotten so many compliments on it from family and friends. My husband joked that Kyle was so sneaky because we hardly noticed him all day, but he still managed to get all these great moments on the video. We looked at a lot of different companies before deciding to hire Studio Arcady. What made the decision easy for us was that right from the beginning Kyle was super responsive and easy to work with, in addition to their wedding videos being very high quality (especially considering how reasonable the pricing is). If you're considering hiring a videographer for your wedding, I would highly recommend giving Kyle's team a call!

I will then add that my guests actually told me at the wedding that the videographers were great. You almost didn't know they were there. They had fancy equipment, got all the shots, and encouraged guests to do the video guestbook. Very professional. The editing was pretty darn good! and we got it back I think a month after we got married. The pricing was the best I found. I can't imagine too much they could have done better, it was all so well done. Also Kyle's response time to emails was almost instant, even on weekends and odd hours. I probably asked him the same questions a few times. I had very little help and was a DIY bride so I was super overwhelmed, and it meant SO MUCH to be able to cross things off my to do list so quickly. HUGE! (Even after the wedding and paid in total, he still had amazing response time). Say yes to the drone, i have such wonderful footage of us walking out of the dining room onto a beautiful grass terrace to be introduced as husband and wife! I would HIGHLY recommend this team for your wedding or any special event!

We didn't pick a great location for our sunset photos/video shoot, but our photographer and Christina searched & found the perfect location to capture the sunset and amazing shots with the drone. Christina sent us our edited video less than a week after our wedding. We also really appreciated she provided us with a USB that had the full-day video clips. Highly recommend 10/10!

Our package included a full documentary-style film (over an hour long), and we added the highlight film (about 4 minutes) that we shared with friends, family, and social media - totally worth it. Josh and his team captured everything from getting ready through the ceremony and speeches and even brought drones for beautiful aerial footage. They also surprised us by recording heartfelt messages from our guests which meant so much to us. Since the wedding, I've watched the highlight video dozens of times and the full documentary twice. Every time we watch it, my husband and I end up holding hands, laughing, and sometimes crying. Video captures the voices, laughter, and expressions of the day in a way photos simply can't. Josh was very responsive during the planning process and really listened to what mattered most to us, especially capturing our guests and older family members who may not be with us decades from now. On the wedding day, he and his team were professional, calm, and unobtrusive. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, guided us on great shots, and even collaborated with our photographer to help create some of our favorite photos. The editing style is timeless, the music was perfect, and the film captured the essence of our wedding beautifully. If you're looking for a wedding videographer who truly tells the story of your day, I highly recommend Dreambook Productions. This was money incredibly well spent and we'll treasure these videos forever. I wish we could have taken Josh on our honeymoon to capture those memories too.
