Take every preconceived notion you have of wedding videography and toss it right out the window…read more Using DSLR cameras, fluid head tripods, dolly tracks and a Steadicam, Oxford Media Films produces only the highest-quality film. There's a reason Oxford Media Films has won Wedding Wire Couple's Choice Award 5-years in a row & we were lucky enough to experience it first-hand.
While planning our November 2016 wedding, completely by chance, we stumbled across Oxford Media Films and immediately fell in love with their online gallery of highlight reels. After researching reviews, none of which were less than 5-stars, we were confident in this company's ability to beautifully and perfectly capture the most important day of our lives. We reached out to owner Shawn Heron through the Oxford Media Films website just seven months before our big day and were thrilled when our date was available.
Throughout our planning, Shawn was extremely personable, reliable and quick to respond to our emails. When I covertly emailed Shawn to let him know about a Wedding Day surprise for my husband (a Rene Rancourt appearance), he sent me a link to another wedding he shot so I could see Rene's entrance & a little bit of what I could expect. Talk about going above & beyond!
Come wedding day, Shawn and his second shooter Michael Kenney arrived at our hotel in Norwood, Massachusetts (from Derry, New Hampshire) ahead of schedule. In addition to Shawn and Michael, there were twelve other people in the Bridal Suite the morning of the wedding - me (the bride), the Maid of Honor, 3 Bridesmaids, Mother of the Groom, Aunt of the Bride, a hair stylist, make-up artist, 2 photographers and a photographer's assistant. There were more than enough people to make the room feel cramped and for me to feel anxious but, with their unobtrusive approach, I didn't even notice Shawn and Michael were there that day at all.
As promised, we received the highly-anticipated 10-minute highlight reel a few weeks after our wedding which we love and have watched no less than two hundred times. Between the film footage and accompanying music, the video allows us "feel" our wedding day again in a way photography doesn't. It was obvious in our video, as in all of the Oxford Media Films reels we watched, that Shawn really pours himself into his work. His talent is unmatched - trust us, we extensively did our homework before booking our vendors.
Honestly, there is so much you miss on your wedding day. Somehow, Shawn and Michael managed to be everywhere at once, capturing every glance, tear and moment that took our breath away. We love being able to see how our wedding day came together on the full-length DVDs we received - the bridal party getting ready, the guests arriving at our ceremony, the venue staff putting the final touches on the ballroom tables, the cocktail hour, reception... everything.
All-in-all, booking Oxford Media Films was one of the easiest and best decisions we made. We are so grateful for Shawn, his art and ability to preserve our wedding day ever so beautifully.
