I have known Dan with Keepsake Family Tree video for years. He has a driving passion for…read morepreserving family memories, and providing the highest quality videography. You can feel his dedication and care with his outstanding customer service. Everyone I know who has hired him to video their wedding and Bar/Bat Mizvah's has spoken highly about how happy they were with him. For years he has emphasized the importance converting old movies to digital format since they apparently degrade and fade over time. I heard the words, and intended to get around to it, but was "too busy", "didn't have time" and "needed to 'organize them" (so I thought). In actuality, it took no time at all to retrieve the box from the closet and drop it off - very easy, simple and quick. A lifetime of my family's videos going back to 1960's was place on one drive - and what a game changer to be able to easily watch and share them with other family members!! I was brought back in time to so many happy moments and memories of my grandparents, my childhood, and all the wonderful times raising our children. I was hit hard understanding Dan's message behind "preserving your family memories" when I viewed one particular video with my paternal grandmother who passed in 1989. As I listened to her voice and hearing her express herself, I realized my memory of who she was, her voice, her movements, personality, had all faded. I suddenly wondered who she was as a person. I was overcome with wishing I knew more about her childhood, her family, the massacre, and so many things that I will never know. For my children and generations to come, she is essentially lost and in a generation or two, basically forgotten or nothing more than a name and date of birth/death in the Family Tree software. This isn't just a "review", but an encouragement to have your parents and grandparent's interviewed and preserved for your children, grandchildren and future generations. If you have video tapes call Dan and drop them off without delay. It is true, they do degrade. There is a noticeable color/quality difference between the newer and older ones; three tapes degraded fully and were no longer recoverable. Today. Work quality: 5 stars Customer service: 5 stars Friendliness: 5 stars Dan: 5 Stars

Dan is dedicated, professional and does a terrific job of digitizing photos. For example, we had a…read more5"x7" color photo from a family outing. We wanted to digitize this photo to share with family members and be able to make duplicate photos. Dan took this photo and prepared a digitized image, which we used to create a larger 8"x10" photo for displaying in our home. Even though this new 8"x10" photo was larger than the original 5"x7", the 8"x10" color photo looks great. Many thanks to Dan for a job well done!

Duron is incredibly talented and is an artist in his photographs. I am grateful and feel so lucky…read moreto have had him take pictures for my wedding. I first met Duron 8 years ago for pictures with my dog and I decided that one day when I got married, I'd love for him to take my wedding photos. That day came recently and he delivered. He arrived early to scope out the location (outdoors) and brought not one but two cameras for the day. He took hundreds of pictures and knew exactly where to place our guests in the pictures. They turned out really well and he had them ready really quickly. His prices are actually very very reasonable after comparing several photographers in the area. He is also very easy to work with. His turn-around-time is quick and he's very easy to communicate with. My guests even had beautiful pictures of themselves as well. My favorite part is that Duron knows what details look good. He's creative. He asked to borrow my ring during the day and next thing I know there's a gorgeous photo of my ring displayed in my bouquet! I highly recommend Duron as a photographer because he's a professional who not only has incredible equipment but more importantly- a great eye for detail and symmetry. He captures brilliant memories which we can now treasure forever of our special moment.

I'm still old in the photo but I look less scary than in my previous passport photo. They were fast and efficient and easy to park as well! And I think the cost was about the same.

I booked Furla Vision for my wedding six years ago. The "highlights" video that I received from…read morethem was nice. However, my twin sister just got married, and her highlights video was amazing. Like a movie trailer. Their editor, Jacqueline, was the one who sifted through nine hours of footage and selected the most perfect moments to showcase on the video. Since my wedding was 6 years ago and since I only had 2 hours of video footage as opposed to my sister's 9 hours, I didn't have much hope that anything could be done with my wedding video that would result in the same quality as my sister's. However, Jacqueline reviewed my footage and assured me that she's be able to put something together for me. I was AMAZED with what I received in return. My updated video is a perfect representation of my wedding day, and Jacqueline was able to showcase the most perfect moments just by instinct alone. She is a true artist in every sense of the word. I'm not sure how many editors Furla Vision uses, but I can say that Jacqueline is incredible. I cried when I watched my video, and I have watched it over and over again, each time seeing something I hadn't seen before. I never knew how special a wedding video would feel until I received mine. It was a true gift, and I will be forever grateful that my mom convinced me to redo mine with their new technology and talent. They have a gem in Jacqueline. Even my husband teared up at seeing the video, and he never cries. Great work!

Wow videography has come a long way! I recently met with Jeff about my daughter's bat-mitzvah for…read moreNovember 2023. Yep, crazy we have to plan so far ahead! I visited their office in Northbrook and was shown to their super cool movie theater room. There Jeff explained the many options for videography and had so many video examples to show. One of the options was a cinema style video, which is basically creating a movie out of someone's bar-mitzvah. The videos were so amazing that I found myself glued to the stories of random 13 year old's special days and when Jeff turned one off after a few min I was bummed I wouldn't find out what happened to Drew! Drew's bar-mitzvah kept me as engaged as some of my favorite TV shows! They also take photo montages to the next level. Jeff showed one example of an art themed bat-mitzvah where the young artist basically walked thru one of her paintings into a gallery of all of her art. I was sold and came home brainstorming many ideas for what we can do for my daughter's montage in a few years. Xpress was the only video production company I looked at and I immediately decided they were the one. Between our initial meeting, the Yelp reviews & glowing review from our planner I think they'd be tough to top!

Yeah, they pretty much are the best. We did a green screen video and it was incredible. If you're…read morelooking for any video or montage, come here. Vince and the staff will make sure your dreams will come true.

We cannot recommend Alysia enough as a wedding photographer!!! We are not a couple that loves being…read morein front of a camera, but Alysia gave us prompts and guidance to make us feel comfortable and at ease with so many eyes and cameras on us throughout the day. If I had a nickel for every compliment I have received on our engagement photos or our wedding sneak peek photos (which she got to us in just a few days!), I feel like I'd come close to covering the cost of our wedding. In addition to complimenting our photos, our friends and family also complimented the photography/videography team for their respectful approach in capturing the day without barking out orders and directions as I'm sure everyone has witnessed at one wedding or another. Throughout the planning process, Alysia was always available via text, phone call, or email answering questions and offering expert recommendations, providing me reassurance that we were in good hands for the big day. We loved Alysia's guidance throughout the process, her respectful command of our group day-of, and her comfortable direction of us during our (free) engagement shoot and wedding day, not to mention the beautifully edited photos! Alysia met all of our expectations and more and we would recommend her to all of our family and friends. We might have to throw another wedding just to have her capture it again!

I cannot say how much I loved working with Alysia and S2 Photo + Cinema! I originally got the…read morerecommendation from my sister as she used Alysia and S2 for her wedding. I loved how my sister's pictures had turned out and she raved about Alysia, the team and the whole process. It was an easy choice to make when it came to my wedding and Alysia was one of the first vendors I booked! Overall, the entire process was so easy and calm. Alysia's pre-wedding process was so straightforward and she was great with coming up with suggestions on places to shoot our wedding photos. Alysia and her team were amazing to work with during our ceremony and reception as well. We didn't have to worry about anything and we got the photos and video footage that we wanted. The picture quality and shots are GORGEOUS and I cannot stop looking at the pictures! We also were able to do the film package as a trial for the company and we were blown away by those photos as well. They gave us a bit of nostalgia from our childhoods and were such a different type of photo but absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend adding it onto a photo package! Alysia was so helpful in helping us curate the vibe we were looking for in our wedding photos. She was so creative during our photo shoot and amazing photos resulted from that! Alysia and the team are also so friendly and personable which made taking photos so much fun! One of the photographers even gave me her coat to warm up after we were outside for awhile by the river in some pretty cold temperatures and wind. Overall, all of our photos, digital and film, and our video are absolutely stunning and I could not have asked for better and more beautiful photos (or people) to capture our wedding day! I would recommend Alysia and S2 Photos + Cinema to anyone and everyone!

He was very easy to talk to and very responsive to any questions and delivered the final product in a timely manner and as promised (about 2 months after the wedding). If you have any doubts about a videographer, hire Sureshot and you will not be disappointed! There are a variety of different packages and all of the important parts from the ceremony and reception were captured beautifully. We watched our wedding video (~2 hours) and our 5-minute highlight real video and to say it is a work of art is an understatement. The videos are provided with a cute photo on the front with our names and the date of our wedding like a real movie. There are very cool drone shots of the venue for the beginning and end of the videos which were so cool to see the venue from that angle. The sound and cameras were not in the way of the big day as we could barely tell they were there. We also got the raw footage on a USB file for a small additional charge, which was a great offering to have to be able to see outtakes and catch some conversations. The sound on the final video is perfect and the picture is so clear it looks like an actual movie. If you have any doubts about a videographer, hire Sureshot and you will not be disappointed!

When planning our wedding, we were on the fence about hiring a videographer. After finding and…read morehiring Sureshot Productions and working together with Steve and Bea, we are definitely glad that we decided to do so as our expectations were far exceeded. Steve and Bea were wonderful to work with throughout the whole process. Prior to the wedding, Steve was always accessible via phone or email and was very prompt to respond to emails and answer all of our questions. Even the day before the wedding, Bea called to reconfirm the locations and times for filming on the day of the wedding which was really great and a nice personal touch to put our minds at ease during such a hectic time. On the day of our wedding, they arrived on time and did an awesome job of capturing all the right moments while remaining unnoticeable in the background (which we really appreciated as we are not used to being recorded). They captured personal interviews and well wishes from our friends and family which was a heartwarming surprise when we watched our video. The full video was provided on time and we were extremely happy with how everything turned out. We also received a highlight video as part of our package which captured the best parts of the day. This also turned out fantastic and was great to share with our family and friends without having them watch the full video. We can't thank Steve and Bea enough for capturing our wedding day and providing such a high quality video that we will be able to enjoy and share for years to come. We highly recommend their services for anyone that is looking to film their wedding at an affordable cost & work with some genuinely nice people.
