Erick is the epitome of professionalism. My wife and I were able to communicate our vision for our wedding and Erick was able to produce. Everything that Erick promised we received. Our wedding was Disney themed and he found a way to just make everything even more magical. I don't know if anyone could have done it better. From our slideshow to our teaser, to our film, our ceremony, our toast, EVERYTHING was perfect.

I was extremely skeptical beforehand. It took a lot of convincing for me to agree to have a videographer. I was worried that it would be too cheesy or cringy. I was completely wrong. These guys were very interactive and most importantly to me, they were true to us as a couple. The video was incredible, many guests raved about the same-day edit video during the reception. Even months later, friends will mention how great the video was- and I have to eat crow every time, haha.
