Moving Pictures is hands down the best videography and cinematography team you can hire for your special day. No other business compares to this team of miracle workers. My husband and I are SO happy we invested in them and selected them to capture the essence of our beautiful wedding day. When first shopping around for a videographer months ago, my photographer and other vendors kept recommending adding Moving Pictures to our dream team line up. The only reservation I had was the price. Videography services are expensive in general and going with Moving Pictures did mean I had to up my budget some. (Note that it is steep but SO worth every single penny. I have no regrets whatsoever and I believe you truly get what you pay for--in this case, a high quality, perfect product). My husband and I were sold when we browsed their collection of work online. We literally went through and watched every single clip we could find on their website, Facebook, Instagram and FELL IN LOVE. It wasn't until we watched a Feature Film for a couple that made us say YES. The feature film hit us with a wave of emotions--we were joyous, our heart strings were pulled, we cried like babies--and we didn't even know this couple! We knew that if Moving Pictures would capture and present our day to make others feel the way we did with this couple--they were the ones for us. And so, we contacted them! I first spoke with Carrie who was wonderful in providing me all the helpful information (packages, prices, how they work, etc.). She was always quick to respond to my e-mails and gave me clear expectations and timelines. Once we signed with them, we were notified of who our Cinematographer would be, Rev, and he was kind enough to give us a call a few weeks prior to the big day to review expectations, the wedding day timeline, and any special requests we had. On the big day, Rev and his assistant Zee arrive and were so professional. What's great about Moving Pictures is how well they worked with our photography team, ANIKO Productions, to capture all the right shots and angles. You can tell they are such professionals in the work they do and considered everything. I knew our day was in the right hands with this team. Exactly three months after our wedding day we are contacted by Emily, our film editor. She invites us to come into the studio for a special premiere screening of our feature film. (Can I emphasize that it was only THREE MONTHS? I hear stories of films taking at least 5 months, or even 9-12!) My husband and I were in tears the entire time. The opening and closing, the speeches and stories interwoven throughout the entire film, the scoring, the beautiful, high quality footage--EVERYTHING was truly moving. They went above and beyond our expectations to put together a film that we will cherish forever. We were so happy with how everything turned out and there is absolutely nothing we would change. Your wedding day goes by in the blink of an eye and Moving Pictures does a fantastic job of capturing those special feelings, moments, and details for you to relive the best day of your life over and over again. Thank you, Moving Pictures, for being TOP KNOTCH in your field! What an amazing group of professionals! read more

Trust me, hire Marc and his team. My husband and I are SO happy we made the investment in Moving Pictures for our wedding weekend (rehearsal dinner and wedding day). The video(s) that came out of it captured our wedding perfectly and they are something we will treasure forever. Marc's team was professional, communicative and a joy to work with. Emily, the editor, did a phenomenal job in crafting the most joyous, emotion-filled video. I can't wait to show it to our kids one day! read more

Moving Pictures is so much fun to work with. They have a clear vision and are complete professionals at executing it. When planning a wedding or any other big event it's so important to hire someone you know you can trust to see and document one of the biggest days of your life!! I recommend Marc and his crew highly. They have a good eye for light, timing, and everything else you want to see in your videography. read more

This is the only videography company to book in the Portland area. Marc and his crew were amazing. The entire day is so much rushing and go go go, you really look back and say, wow that was quick. It's so difficult to remember and appreciate all the things and moments that happened that day since you're always being pulled a million different ways. I have to admit when my wife asked if we could hire them I was hesitant, we had already gone over budget quite a bit and they were the last type of vendor we looked at, thinking that our photographer would be enough. I look back now and realize how foolish it would have been to not book moving pictures for our day. Phenomenal, there are not enough words. My sister gave a toast that I will cherish forever, and I am only able to remember and relive it because of this wonderful company. I can go on and on, but just click their link and don't look back. Worth.. Every.. Single.. Penny.. read more

We spent over 1.5 years planning our wedding and we wanted a film company who we knew we could trust to capture all of the detail in the most professional way possible. Moving Pictures is that company! They were an absolute pleasure to work with and they even took the time to get to know me and my Bride on a personal level! Having so much collaboration with them prior to the event allowed them to understand our vision and execute it flawlessly! This is by far the best Film company in the State of Oregon, if not the entire country! If you want the best of the best choose moving Pictures! If you do choose Moving Pictures, which I highly recommend, tell Marc (Mac) I say hi! read more

Moving Pictures was the single best investment we made on our wedding day. We are absolutely in love with the video they put together. The Moving Pictures team is masterful at weaving several beautiful story lines together. The video took our breath away. We laugh and cry all over again reliving our wedding day on film. The cinematographers do an amazing job of blending in on your wedding day. You truly forget they're there. I can't thank Marc, Emily, Ryan and Carrie enough. The team makes the process fun. From our meetings before the wedding to the actual wedding day and the viewing party months later, they made everything easy for us. I would recommend Moving Pictures to anyone and everyone. Thank you, thank you!! read more

My wife Colleen could not have picked better people to capture the moment of our wedding. When she first told me how much a wedding videographer would cost... I thought she was insane... Now that I've had the "Moving Pictures team experience" I can without a doubt say that it was THE BEST money we spent for the wedding! Their ability to blend professionalism, friendship and overall awesomness is second to none. Marc, Ryan and the gang were INCREDIBLE. They helped calm our nerves day of and walked us through the process before, during and after the wedding so that we felt 100% comfortable and informed. Also, all the ladies at our wedding swooned over Marc and his Aussie accent! When we got to watch our wedding video for the first time we were in utter disbelief. They captured the entire experience with so much depth and beauty that we felt as though we were able to relive it all over again. I can't thank the Moving Pictures team enough, other than getting to marry the woman of my dreams, they were the best part of our day! If you're on the fence about hiring them then jump off and do it already, you absolutely will not regret it!!!! read more

While wedding planning I received plenty of advice (as all brides do) but hiring Moving Pictures was by far the best advice actually I took! The recommendation came from our friends who had gotten married a year before us. I went back to watch their highlights reel. Literally it was like I was reliving the day again. I laughed and cried and then I made the call. I didn't look for anyone else. I had been at that wedding and they had literally captured the essence of the day! I just received our wedding video and as I watched it I relived our day all over again, a day that I never wanted to forget, Moving Pictures makes that possible. The rush of feelings that you ride high on through the day, you experience every one of them all over again when watching your video. Let me be the person that tells you that have to have video, that you will never regret it, that you're in the best hands and that Moving Pictures is worth every cent (and more) to have that memory forever! read more

My husband and I hired Moving Pictures as our videographer and were thrilled with our experience. They were great at corresponding with us prior to the wedding and a joy to work with on the day of the wedding. We worked with Marc who was super friendly and fun. Our wedding video was amazing. I could not possibly ask for a better synopsis of our favorite day ever. It captures all of the emotion and beauty of the day. I'm in the wedding industry and held my vendors to very high standards and Moving Pictures surpassed my expectations. I'd highly suggest them to any wedding couple!! read more

Hands down the easiest and best decision we made about our wedding day- choosing Moving Pictures to capture the most important day in our lives. Some bride and grooms might think woah about the price but when you really think about it, you will want to pick quality, not quantity (the wedding videos you get back within 48 hours or a week). Not only is the first introduction already very personable, they also meet with you before the wedding to get to know you personally and ask all your wants. Day of the wedding we felt so comfortable with Marc and the second shooter, they felt like family on that day and you knew that they already had their magical plan in place of how and where they were going to capture every moment of the wedding. They came to the rescue with lights since we cut the cake in the dark- which actually made the wedding footage look even cooler. The team was great about communicating our wedding timeline ETA and even though we waited a bit longer than anticipated it was 1000% even more worth it. They compensated for the time as well, adding in extra features and a preview. Moving Pictures also does this cool thing where they re-post footage on their social media randomly and makes you cry when you unexpectedly see it and cry at work. I can't say enough great things about Moving Pictures and it should be an easy choice for future bride and grooms to pick them for their wedding day! read more

I was very disappointed with my experience with Moving Pictures. Not only did one of the employees postpone a phone appointment 5 minutes before our scheduled time to talk but she also failed to call me back at our scheduled time today. Due to a lack of communication and poor customer service, I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

We had an awesome time working with Moving Pictures for our wedding video. Everyone was friendly, easy to work with and lots of fun. They did an awesome job on our video. They put a unique style to our video and captured important events through out our day and we loved it. My suggestion is to hire them for the whole entire day, wish we did. read more

LOVE the MPW Team!! My husband and I had the fortunate privilege of working with Marc and the MPW Team on 2 separate occasions, for our engagement cinema portrait session and on our wedding day. My husband, who has a shy and quiet temperament, was incredibly hesitant about talking on camera. I, admittedly, was just as nervous about being filmed. We needn't have been worried or nervous! Marc's humor, charm and down to earth personality made filming such a fun and memorable experience! Within an hour of working together on our first shoot, my husband and I were so relaxed we forgot that we were even on camera, thanks to Marc's great direction! We couldn't have been happier with the end product. We absolutely LOVED our engagement cinema portrait and actually showed a surprise viewing for our guests during our wedding reception. It received so many compliments, as many of our family and friends had never seen anything like it! Getting to work with Marc and MPW Team again for our wedding was even more fun the second time around! Despite our wedding day jitters, both my husband and I couldn't help but relax, laugh and enjoy ourselves while working with Marc. Never at anytime did we feel that the MPW Team stood out as our "vendor or videographer." Rather, many of our guests didn't event realize we had videographers filming, the team was so inconspicuous! Marc is such a visionary and creative talent, and is a true joy to work with. We cannot thank Marc and the MPW Team enough for the AMAZING experience of personalized cinematography. We highly recommend Moving Picture Weddings! It was, by far one of the best investments we made for our wedding. read more

Somehow we found out about Moving Pictures, and we are so thankful that we did! My husband and I got married on June 30th this year, and we hired Moving Pictures to do our videography. We had made a list of the things we just had to have at our wedding, and videography was at the top of our list, along with photography. These are the things that you take with you from your special day, to treasure forever, and we knew we wanted the very best! We can't say enough positive things about Moving Pictures!! They truly are the best in the business! Not only are they extremely professional, but they make the whole experience very personal, and each member of the team is extremely friendly and passionate about their work! We had the pleasure of having Marc and Megan film our wedding, and we're telling you, THEY ARE AMAZING! They made the whole day fun, and knew exactly when to "cue" us for good footage, and when to sit back and film from a distance. We first met Carrie when we were getting more information about Moving Pictures. She is amazing and always responds so quickly to our emails! Marc met with us before our big day, to go over details for our wedding, and to get to know us on a more personal level. Marc really listened to what we wanted to be in our film. He made us feel so comfortable and confident that we had made the right choice going with their company for our wedding! He is so kind and very much passionate about what he does, and his energy is contagious. We sat and talked for a while, and honestly it felt like we had known him forever. Megan is amazing as well! She and Marc work so well together, and they made the experience fun for everyone involved! When we first met with Carrie, and later Marc, they were pleased to hear who we had chosen to do our photography, as they often work with these wonderful photographers. During our big day, it was very evident how comfortable the photographers and videographers were with one another, which made things go so smoothly! Emily was our film editor and she is truly incredible, too!! We were notified when our film was ready, and they invited us to come back to their studio for a "premiere screening!" My husband and I brought our parents with us and we all watched it for the first time together. There wasn't a dry eye in that room! She made the PERFECT video for us, and it so captured our amazing day, and all the incredible aspects that we were hoping to have in our film! It's only been a few months, and my husband and I have watched our film over and over! This truly is something that we will always treasure, and we love that we get to share it with those we love! The whole team at Moving Pictures is incredible, and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts! read more

When beginning to plan our wedding day, we were undecided about a lot of things, especially when it came to vendors, but there was one thing we were certain of - Moving Pictures was going to be our videographer. The films they create are hands down, the best out there. Every film they make is unique to each and every couple and does an incredible job at capturing the day. The quality is top notch and shows how truly talented the entire team is. From filming to editing, the team knows what they are doing. They are a team of creatives who have a vision and they portray it perfectly with their captivating films. From start to finish, our experience with Moving Pictures was wonderful. Every interaction, whether it be in person or through email, was professional, helpful and enjoyable. If you are worried about being uncomfortable in front of the camera, don't be! Marc and the rest of the Moving Pictures team are the kindest, most easy going, friendly and fun people - they will make you feel totally at ease and you won't even notice they're there! After working with Marc, we knew his work was going to be incredible, but when we finally saw our wedding film, we were absolutely blown away. Our film surpassed all of our expectations. Marc has a creative eye and captured all of the beautiful moments from our wedding day perfectly. Moving Pictures gave us a beautiful video that we will treasure forever. All of the videos they create are amazing, but when it is YOUR wedding video, it is hard to put into words how special it is. Marc captured everything so perfectly and Emily did an amazing job editing everything into a cohesive and beautiful story of our special day. Your wedding day goes by SO FAST! Having a way to revisit and relive it is such a special gift! Your video will be a keepsake you will have for the rest of your lives that will allow you to watch and remember the best day of your lives whenever you want as well as share it with those you love. I cannot say enough good things about Moving Pictures or recommend them enough. You will not be disappointed or regret your decision. You will only regret NOT hiring them. read more

Moving Picture Weddings was fabulous to work with! Planning a wedding outside of Portland was challenging, but everyone at Moving Pictures made it easy and worry free. On the day of our wedding, our videographer was not only inventive and creative, but such a pleasure to be around on our big day. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great video experience from their wedding! read more

From the beginning all the way to the end, Moving Pictures was simply amazing. They were professional, personable and provided nothing but top notch service. Carrie was always available to answer any questions, help with our timeline and coordinate everything. She is the sweetest! Our videographer Ruvim was so cool! He made us feel at ease and honestly didn't even know he was there for most of the time! The videographers really do stay out of the way while still capturing every single moment. I watched so many wedding videos before booking a videographer and Moving Pictures has the BEST quality and the most talented staff out there! Emily, our editor, OMG she is awesome!! The owner Marc even sits down and watches the video with you when it's complete! These people love what they do and you can see it in their work. Seriously their films don't even compare to others! The day goes by so fast!! It's so special to have this keepsake for the rest of lives and be able to relive our special day whenever we want! Thank you MP!!! read more

I don't even know where to begin to describe how much we loved working with the incredibly wonderful Moving Picture team for our wedding. Aside from being so talented and absolute experts at film making, they are some of the the most authentic and genuine people we have worked with. From the moment they arrived to start shooting they were warm and welcoming, and seamlessly fit into our day. They captured every little detail and went far above and beyond any expectations. Whether it was getting us to where we needed to be or making sure my husband and I were fed during the wedding (seriously how many videographers stop to make sure you have been fed??), it is unreal how above and beyond they went to make our day that much more special. They added to memories and we feel so blessed to have worked with Marc and his incredible team. We HIGHLY recommend working with Moving Pictures for your wedding or really any occasion! read more

We are so pleased we chose Moving Pictures to film our ceremony and our reception. Being filmed is something that doesn't happen every day obviously, so we were way outside our comfort zones. Marc & Megan put us at right at ease--we felt comfortable right from the beginning; we didn't even realize we were on camera most of the time! What a FUN duo to work with, too. There were just 3 days between our wedding in Seattle and our reception in Portland so a rush edit was in order for a ceremony highlights video. We couldn't have been more pleased with the results--the film was reflective of our personalities and captured the feeling of the event perfectly. There wasn't a dry eye in the ballroom after the video viewing and we have received so many compliments since about how well done the video was. Marc & Megan exceeded all of our expectations. If you're considering a videographer, we HIGHLY recommend Moving Pictures...you're getting more than just a video to capture your big day, you're getting lots of fun memories in making the video, too! read more

This may be a little out of the ordinary, because I am writing a review, not as a bride, but as the mother of the bride. Hiring Moving Picture Wedding's to chronicle my daughter's nuptial journey, was one of the highlights of our mother/daughter wedding experience! There is not enough space to write how extraordinarily talented, professional, kind, and genuine Marc and his team were with us! Even though Moving Picture Weddings documents far more prominent events and people, we still were treated like VIP's. Melissa and I were blown away by their eagerness and patience with us, in accommodating everything we wanted filmed! Moving Picture Weddings' warm, fun and yes, magical personalities had a way of transforming the awkwardness of being in front of camera into a memorable experience that felt more natural than you can imagine. No detail was neglected, no request dismissed. Moving Picture Weddings is beyond phenomenal! When the "Same Day Edit" was shown at the wedding reception, I was moved beyond words ( and I was not alone) at how perfectly they captured my daughter and her husband's love story! These wonderful people are the real deal! I would advise any of you thinking of hiring them, to do it! And if they are booked on the date you wish to marry, change your date!! You will not regret it! I only wish I had more unmarried children to marry off so that I could use them again and again and again! Beautiful work, and truly beautiful people, inside and out! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Moving Pictures. My husband and I knew we wanted a videographer and we looked at at least 5 other companies. But everything (the quality of the videos, the stories, the song selection, the voice-over) was just better with Moving Pictures. But they were just too expensive for us. Luckily, they were willing to work with us on a payment plan which made it much more affordable. We met with Matt in advance of the wedding and he got to know us and how we met, what we were like. On the day of the wedding, he and another guy (Super sorry for forgetting your name, sir!) showed up on time and dressed for a wedding. They followed the photographer around when she was taking pictures and worked effortlessly with her. During the ceremony and reception, I didn't even notice them! They just blended so well with the party. The only time it was clear that we had a videographer was during the toasts because they had to set up a tripod, bright light, and mic the speakers. But it was SO worth it. The final product was absolutely beautiful. They captures the best parts of our ceremony, speeches, etc. They chose a song I'd never heard before that somehow went perfectly with the theme of the wedding. I 100% recommend them. My husband and I have watched our wedding video at least 7 times. It's so exciting to know we''ll have these memories and actually be able to hear our vows and show the video to our kids many years from now. Thank you Moving Pictures! read more
