The one thing MY ENTIRE FAMILY regrets about my wedding was deciding to go with Corey for our wedding pictures and videos. He rarely replied to emails. Literally had to bombard him or call him day after day. He was MIA for the important moments, and multiple people had to go looking for where he was all the time. Work was super amateur. I'm Indian and we have Indian dances and he recorded the brides ENTIRE DANCE FROM A BACK VIEW. We had multiple events that he recorded - 3 to be exact totaling probably 11-14 hours all together, but the raw footage he sent us is ONLY 5 hours. His work blatantly is horrible. He didn't even have guidance or ideas for good pictures. I was picking the scenery/ poses instead of the photographer/ owner of the company himself Corey! I have friends who have better pictures of me and themselves at my wedding than what Corey "professionally" took! If u paid a deposit, get it back. If you're stuck with him, don't pay him in full until you get your pictures/ video. You'll know what I mean! From my wedding of 3 different events over 12-14 hours... I have a total of 4 pictures of me and my husband that I like. read more

Working with Faymus Media has been a terrible experience since day 1. I found Corey (owner) on Thumbtack and spoke directly with him before I hired him for my brother's wedding. He went through everything I could expect to receive with his videographer package, promised me multiple times the services would be for the ENTIRE day with full reception included, and he also spoke to HIS experience with Greek weddings and made me believe he would be filming the wedding. When the day came, another random subcontractor showed up to film and disappeared 2.5 hours early from the reception without a word. Aside from the bridal party, we had 0 footage of anyone dancing at the reception because of this. He reimbursed me slightly, but I will still never have the footage which is upsetting. It is now 12 weeks after the wedding, and I still have not received my 30-90min ceremony film that I was promised, and Corey will hardly respond to my emails and calls, but when he did, he decided to blame the videographer he hired for this. The videographer then told me Corey never paid him at all for any of his work and wouldn't let him create the film for me, so I have no idea who is telling me the truth, or why I still haven't received everything I paid for, but the process has been so miserable. I do not recommend Faymus Media to anyone. They tell you one thing and do another, and have no regard for customer service or make any attempt to fix their wrongs or deliver on their promises. If you are considering them for an event, and have any questions about my experience, please feel free to reach out. read more

Faymus Media could only be successful in a big city where there is always a new customer. I bought an expensive camera from the owner of Faymus Media: Corey Benoit. The camera was missing some parts because he isn't careful with his equipment. He is a fast talker and very salesy. I asked him to sign a bill of sale, and he said he would, but when I sent it to him, he never got back. I tried contacting him literally like twenty times, and he ended up just avoiding my phone number of course. Obviously Corey isn't very responsible. I would not be surprised if he was a drug addict considering how skinny he was. To Corey: if you sign the bill of sale, I'd be happy to take down this post. It's never too late to do the right thing. read more

I hired Corey for my wedding 5/19/18 and I STILL haven't received my wedding videos. Corey has become completely unresponsive and we're in the process of a lawsuit. Red flags before I hired him: -He talked a good game and claimed he had done a shoot at my wedding location before but when I asked him to show me photos he fumbled for an excuse about how he won't be able to find them. -I saw a few extremely horrible reviews on Thumbtack (the 3rd party website where I found Corey's profile) and I should have listened to them instead of the many generic good reviews. Services not delivered: -Corey excused himself after the couple's portraits and was nowhere to be found for the family portraits. Our family is still so upset that Corey didn't take family portraits. He also didn't take pictures of us greeting our guests. I made it very clear that he is expected to take family portraits and guest photos. He basically disappeared for 30 crucial minutes. When I confronted him about this after the wedding, he blamed the wedding coordinator for forbidding him to take pictures, which wasn't true. Just a bunch of excuses and no apologies. -He hasn't delivered the full length wedding video or the highlight video - 14 months after the wedding!! He originally promised 3 weeks turn-around time. -He still has my brand new Western Digital 1 TB hard drive which I gave to him so he could deliver my photos and videos -The photos he sent me were compressed to about 100 ppi. You need at least 300 ppi to print. This is because first he uploaded them to an online platform as a preview so I could buy prints from his online platform. When I requested all the digital photos emailed to me, he sent me these compressed photos redownloaded off his online platform. When I requested originals because I did not like the quality or editing, he refused, making some excuse about how I need some special program to view them. Other offenses: -The wedding poses Corey suggested were bad, especially the one where the groom hooks his arms under the bride's armpits which makes it look like a Nelson hold. Corey's directions were generally not useful and led to rookie mistakes like my dress not being arranged appropriately for the photo. -I had a bridesmaid go find Corey during the beginning of the reception because he had disappeared again and he was sitting in the lobby. I asked him to take some pictures of us posing with our friends and he just seemed bothered to take these pictures, completely unenthusiastic. -The editing was horrible - saturated colors, bad framing, blurry, bad lighting, overexposed -Corey stopped responding to my texts and calls asking about my videos. At first he would say the videographer was working on them and he couldn't rush him. And then he completely stopped talking to me -During the arbitration process, Corey blatantly lied about the events, going as far as editing the time stamps on his photos to prove he didn't disappear during key moments. I know the time stamps were wrong because my guest's iphone photos time stamps did not match his. -The arbitrator ruled that Corey was to provide the videos and to give me back half of my money. He didn't pay by the deadline and hasn't delivered the videos, prompting me to follow a lengthy legal process. Do not hire Corey/Faymus Media. You will regret it. Listen to the bad reviews. Do not take a chance on your wedding day. I was able to get Faymus Media's Thumbtack profile shut down but I am surprised he is still in business. So sad what people get away with. read more

Cory, ruined our wedding memories. He arrived late the morning of the pictures, didn't stick to the schedule, was borderline creepy in the bridal suite, and then eventually deleted all of our photos off of the internet database without informing us he was doing so, so we don't even have wedding photos. The pictures and video he and his assistant took were amateur at best from what I can remember. read more

I'll try to keep it tame here because my blood boils when I think back to my decision to hire Corey Benoit to photograph our wedding. ZERO STARS. Corey missed our wedding ceremony. His excuse was traffic. At the end of our reception, Corey insisted upon payment in full. It is now over a year since our wedding and Corey has failed to provide us our pre-purchased wedding albums. Apparently, the vendor Corey uses no longer makes albums (I include his response below). Those are the headlines. The details if you're interested are as follows: The package we purchased included photos for pre-ceremony, ceremony, formal family after ceremony, reception, photojournalistic of decor and venues, and candid throughout the reception, online portal to access and view all photos, print ordering from the online portal, all photos edited and color corrected, photo retouching, digital download access for all photos - 2 8x10, 4 5x7, 20 4x6 and 2 wallet prints (Fuji premium profession lab prints) - 8x10 signature pressed wedding album. ¥ Corey failed to provide the pre-ceremony, ceremony, and edited photos, photo retouching, and the wedding album; ¥ It took Corey 8 months to provide us digital photos, after us repeatedly inquiring as to the status (he cited endless excuses for his delay); ¥ Despite missing our wedding ceremony, Corey insisted upon payment in full at the end of our reception (when we really had no choice because he had all the reception photos) and failed to reimburse us for any portion of the cost; ¥ Not one apology or recognition from Corey that he failed to deliver as promised; and ¥ Corey has refused to deliver us our pre-purchased wedding albums, claiming as of March 2018: I have a deal with them where they give them to be at a very low cost so I provide them for free in the packages. I do not charge for them. Therefore I have to wait for them to update me, I do not have any control over it. I can't estimate the timeframe if they don't provide one. Right now they are not printing as they are low on supplies and have a large queue already full. So I am waiting to hear from them. We have not heard from Corey since his email in March and can only presume that he has no intention of delivering our albums. Final note - I have never left a review in my life. But this was so shocking and disturbing that I couldn't sit idle while someone else fell victim to this huckster. I was looking for an option for negative stars, but there is not one. So, that's a big ZERO. It is shameful that someone touts himself as dedicated to memorializing such a special occasion and then craps all over it. Not sure how he sleeps at night. The good news is that the videographer was excellent, so we took the raw footage and put together a phenomenal video at our own separate cost that we love. read more

My husband and I got married in September of 2016, the best decision we made was having Corey as our videographer. He was on time, patient, had so many idea, and is truly an expert in his craft. When watching our video you could see how all the recording was so high tech, and the editing just flowed together. He has an eye for this and when we watched our video it was showed. He did an incredible job. Thank you so much Corey & Faymus Media for putting me at ease, for doing an amazing job, and capturing the little moments that made our day so special. YOU ARE THE BEST! read more

Faymus Media = 0 stars What can I say about our experience with Corey? Faymus for talking over and not listening to the customer. Faymus for not paying attention to details. Faymus for being late to bridal suite so we have limited photos taken by the Videographer who is nice guy, he gets 5 stars. Faymus for faulty gear that made him miss shooting our cocktail hour, not 1 photo. He had to go home LOL! Faymus for no creativity and this guy needs a handler if you what specific shots of the most important day of your life. Faymus for disappearing and leaving his camera on the bar for extended periods of time. Faymus for not giving us what we paid for like a full-length video and highlight video, but he did give us 100 images most were not very good. It would have been cheaper and better to buy cameras for our guests to shoot our wedding. Thank God for cell phone photos and our photo booth. Faymus for blocking our emails and disappearing, why not he got paid and did not give us what we paid for, great business model. Faymus for well if you use his services you can fill in the rest. PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR STAY AWAY! read more

Let me begin by stating that Corey is simply THE BEST!!!! I have to admit I had a fairly rough wedding day with some of my vendors and Corey was my saving grace. Without him I may have gone bonkers. Here is what to expect from the brilliant Corey. When you chat with Corey he will let you know that he will be a fly on the wall at your event, capturing every moment but indiscreetly without you as the client even noticing. This is not a con, it's a major major PRO. When it's your wedding day you will notice that many people will be in your face, bothering you, harassing you and just plain annoying you for every little thing and trust me knowing that a professional is at your event doing exactly what you asked for without bothering you will be something you immensely appreciate on the day of. It may be something you don't even realize you need at the time but trust me you really want and don't even know it. This is not to say that Corey was invisible.. because when things went awry Corey was there solving mistakes that other vendors were making and I couldn't believe how wonderful he was. At one point I was very upset at my wedding and Corey was there in two seconds flat to be a comfort. His work ethic is outstanding!!! This is also one of the best reviews I will probably write in my life because honestly he deserves every word of thanks and gratitude. I saw some mention in previous reviews that apparently a woman or two out of hundreds of reviews had difficulty reaching him. This was not the case for me I found that he was the easiest to reach at all times and is very communicative and to the point. He kept his word to a tee and didn't skip a single beat. Corey was running a special when I purchased a package from him and boy oh boy I hope he continues running them lol because the price I got for the value was remarkable and worth every penny and more. What more could you ask for in a videographer and human being than professionalism, kindness, Personality, quality, ease, and experience. My husband and I are so so lucky to have found him because he truly is a gem. I would be friends with this guy in real life that's how cool I thought he was/is. A total team player, problem solver, magician and expert in his industry. Also my guests absolutely adored him and I have heard nonstop rave reviews about him since our wedding day. I could not wait to write this review and say now. Corey thank you SO SO SO MUCH. You are AMAZING!!! Ten billion stars, highly recommended vendor. Do yourself a favor and just book him, tell him exactly what you want and he will deliver. So much love for this guy. read more

Hands down one of the best out there!!!! I am able to re-live my wedding day allll over again at anytime because I have these beautiful memories to look over. From the pictures to the video, absolutely stunning!!!! Forever thankful for these memories and to the guys that helped make them happen!!! read more

Showed up an 2 hours late for my wedding. Skills mediocre at best and couldn't find him for most of the reception. Dubbed "where's Corey" at my wedding,I would recommend buying a few dozen disposable cameras than hire Corey and Faymus Media. Do yourself a favor and find someone else. read more

We hired Corey to do our wedding last November! Stay away... he talks a good game but definitely should not photograph weddings!! I wouldn't recommend Corey to my worst enemy! He was 2 hours late. We never had time for posed photos! He arrived 15 before our ceremony and we had to rush around in front of all our waiting guest to have a few photos taken that were in poor light because he didn't try to deal with the lighting and the sun going down. He was rude and arguementive. He acted as if it was his day not ours. 90% of the photos he took were candids of people dancing and unflattering. He would just take pic after pic of the same wedding guest and it meant nothing to anyone!! Not one photo of my husband and I was posed and edited correctly. Don't think he edited anything! He was rude after the wedding and it was like pulling teeth to get our photos. He never gave us everything we paid for in our package! Stressed our feelings to him and asked for a free session to get some good photos taken with family since he did not arrive to take the most important photos with our families and together and he refused! Didn't have more time to waste in him and his games! Being he is the "Owner" of the Company, we had nobody to discuss these issues with! Thought about sueing him in court for our money back but he is a waste of time and being pregnant in the months after was more important that dealing with this rude crook! read more

Corey was great to work with and his equipment was top notch, definitely would contact him again. Footage looks amazing with his cameras video came out great. read more

Corey was not a friendly person at our wedding. His photos were all too white and not creative. We couldn't find him at many times during the day. We do not recommend him. read more

If I could put negative stars I would. He showed up 3 hours late so we didn't get our pre-wedding photos. We received our pictures 3 weeks after the wedding when we were told he would have them done in 3 days. Our DVD arrived in the mail over a month after the wedding and wasn't even in a professional DVD sleeve or case. It was wrapped in a piece of paper that was taped and then thrown into a media mail envelope. No guarantees that the DVD would be safe and undamaged. A member of our wedding party ordered pictures from this photographer and got mailed pictures that weren't even from our wedding. Due to him being late it cost us more money to compensate other vendors for the extra time they had to provide services. He was unwilling to compensate for any of the lost time during the day of our wedding or even formally apologize for being late. One last thing. We were guaranteed 400 photos of which we got 369 and when we asked about getting a copy of the contract we signed he said that they don't give copies of the contract to the client. DON'T USE THIS PHOTOGRAPHER. You would be better off using friends and family to take your pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more
