I've officially come full circle with the crying when having the feels. I started tearing up while watching myself tear up during our vows in our wedding highlight video. This is the most meta experience I've ever had and I'm 80% embracing it (this is who you married Jenton L.!!) and 20% embarrassed to be admitting this to strangers on the internet. And this embaras-mazing meta experience is brought to you by Anna and her team of talented videographers, Philip and Rosa.
When budgeting the wedding, we were wavering on whether or not to hire videographers. After seeking the advice of married friends, we got unanimous answers of "Yes, do it!" and "Yes, do it! I wish I had!" They were all unequivocally right.
Having watched almost 100 different highlight wedding videos online (no joke, I'm still recovering), I really loved Seaglass Cinema's "real life movies." All the feelings and clips seemed so real and not overly staged or over-produced. It's the kind of video that's timeless and you can't wait to show your kids or reminisce at a future anniversary.
Thankfully, we found Seaglass Cinema.**
To plagiarize my previous review of Anna's photography business:
"Anna is super easy to communicate with, responds quickly to e-mails, and is as cool as a cucumber. It didn't phase her that I sent her an e-mail six weeks out that only consisted of questions regarding the timeline for wedding day. She didn't even bat an eye when we were running late on wedding day but also, somehow magically made up the time and put us ahead of schedule."
Philip and Rosa were amazing videographer ninjas. There were some clips in the highlight video were I went "THEY WERE RECORDING THIS?!?" Also, they worked great with our DJ in making sure they could capture recordings from the microphones during the ceremony and first dance (Jenton L. sang me a song!). But I have to say the most professional/amazing moment was Philip double-fisting TWO heavy cameras during our recessional WHILE WALKING BACKWARDS AND RECORDING FOOTAGE. AND THE FOOTAGE LOOKED AMAZING!! When our highlight video was up (awesome turnaround time!), I immediately watched it no less than five times in a row and cried in the open at work. It should have probably come with the warning message about the feels.
Booking Seaglass Cinema is a decision you won't regret. Like all of our friends, if you're thinking about booking a videographer, DO IT!!!! And Seaglass Cinema will put together those amazing memories in a video that will last a lifetime.
**Full disclosure, we had already planned on booking Anna to be our wedding photographer. Booking photo + video together does include a discount. read more
