Beautiful wedding photos and video at a crazy reasonable price!!! Stockham Media is everything you need.
I stumbled across Stockham on weddingwire while planning my wedding and they are the best wedding decision I made.
They use something called cinephotography, its complicated but they basically shoot video and photo at the same time. Its much more reasonably priced than photo and video separately and the product is EVERYTHING!!!!!!
Let me start at the beginning. Brandon, who is the manager/coordinator of sorts, is A PLEASURE. He was so professional and delightful to coordinate our experience with. He was accomodating, polite, and always prompt in responding to my many emails. I never waited more than a few hours for a response from him. He eased all of my fears about my unfamiliarity with cinephoto and tolerated my many questions to try to be clear about the product I was getting.
We also hired them for our engagement photo shoot. The company is based in San Diego, but they were very accommodating in shooting us in our home in Long Beach. The owner, Dillan, shot us for our engagement, and I must say that we felt an immediate connection to him! He is LOVELY! He has a great energy and spirit and is really amazing at what he does. I must say I left that shoot feeling not only great about the experience but genuinely wanting to be friends with Dillan! Furthermore, we received our all of our photo prints so quickly! We were elated!
Stockham also shoots something called a Love Story, which is video footage where you get to share on camera your personal relationship story through a variety of questions and prompts. We shot ours at our wedding venue, and that was a blast as well. We were able to play it at our wedding reception and it was beautiful to relive that shoot.
Last, our wedding day!!! We had a crew of at least 5 or 6 from Stockham shooting me and my husband as we got ready at our respeective locations and then at our venue. They were fun, relaxed and professional at the same time and put me at ease! Now that I've received all my footage, I can see that they were everywhere, catching all the details that day. Which is amazing because I felt like they were never in the way!
Another special moment occurred when the owner Dillan who had been shooting my husband and the groomsman most of the day stopped by my bridal suite just to say hello and check in. This meant a lot to me as I had developed a great connection with him over the prior year shooting engagement and love story footage, and seeing his face before the wedding calmed me immensely.
Finally, we were over the moon at the finished product! We received almost an insane amount of footage, all of it on a hard copy drive. We received ALL of our raw footage including our entire ceremony, and love story, highlight films and over a thousand beautiful photos.
I've gone on too long, but I could go on longer. Stockham was by far, my favorite vendor to work with! Every bride should have them in her life! You wont regret it! read more
