I would also like to give major props to Patrick, who was happy to be super collaborative about the editing process and let me come sit in while he put most of it together (our team is very opinionated). I was also stunned at the amount of usable footage (interviews & b-roll) we were able to collect in two days - we have nearly 10 hours of it. We will definitely be back for second cuts to the same footage and for future projects.

It's been a pleasure working with DMV Productions and we look forward to our next project together!

Serena captured the day beautifully, taking stunning photos in the morning and transitioning seamlessly into videography for the rest of the event. Her professionalism, creativity, and eye for detail were evident in every shot. The final images were absolutely spectacular, and the video footage was equally impressive. She even went the extra mile by creating a social media reel for us, which turned out beautifully and captured the spirit of the day perfectly. Serena is truly wonderful to work with--easygoing, communicative, and incredibly talented. I highly recommend Creative Ideation to anyone looking for top-tier photography and video work.

There's a cinematic and *regal* feel that Capital Films DC captures in its videography, and I was absolutely pleased with how the filmography for my wedding came out.

When friends and family sent their thoughts to their wife and to me about our wedding videos, they all said that the videographer captured the best moments beginning to end. Paul himself is very professional; communicates well, was punctual, and was timely with his delivery. Couldn't give a higher recommendation.

I am glad to see that Ari recently put his company on yelp!…read more As usual, the owner and his crew deliver no less than exceptional quality services. Without a doubt this company has it's customer's thoughts and feelings as the main priority when creating a unique and unforgettable recording of any momentous occasion. Now for my review, This company provided a combo montage and video for my best friend's wedding at a very competitive and affordable price. I helped my friend pay for it as part of my wedding gift to him and his wife. The owner took a lot of time to make it the most perfect recording and montage for their beautiful wedding. The owner personally came to the wedding to record video himself, along with his assistant, to assure the best video recording. He is a great guy, really knows what he is doing, and has been in the business for years. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to capture any special event that you can relive whenever you push play on the DVD. I have recommended his services to several parents planing bar/bat mitzvahs and all have thanked me for recommending this company.

If you are on the fence about whether spending more for higher quality photo and video is worth it, this is the voice telling you that it is -- at least when it comes to having Mari and George capture your events. Mari was a dream to work with. She matched our vibes perfectly, making us feel comfortable and beautiful, so our genuine joy radiates through the photos. And George is exceptionally skilled at cinematography. He captured both the high-energy moments and the sweet intimate moments with equal finesse, and put it all together in a way that transports us back to those incredible days. We cannot emphasize enough how amazing their photos and videos are and how much we recommend their team.

On the day of, he and his team arrived early and began working right away. They made everyone feel comfortable and beautiful all day long! My favorite part about Ryan and his team was the fact that I would forget they were there. We were just so comfortable and happy and in our element. Less than two weeks after the wedding, we had our extended highlight film and I have watched it no less than 10 times. It was so perfect- it truly surpassed every expectation I had when it came to our video. If you are hesitant about hiring a videographer, DON'T BE! Having Ryan's video to show our families, children and grandchildren one day has been the greatest gift we ever got. Absolutely blew my mind how wonderful this whole experience was. Thank you so very much Ryan!

When our same day edit came on, there was nothing but silence, a few moments of laughter, a few tears, and an overwhelming response from our guests came in on how ridiculously great Ryan did on the video. If you are looking to surprise your guests, a same day edit is the way to go. It's a highlight video of the days happenings and they play it right at the reception, and include tidbits of the reception! It is really amazing because his artistic vision is definitely out of this world and he works sooooo fast. He is definitely in the zone at one point, with his headphones on and crazy ninja editing skills. I encourage you to work with him. He is easy to talk to, super duper responsive to emails, and will not let you down. He catches all those beautiful moments and the pure unadulterated emotions of love and a joyous celebration. You want to remember your best day of your life, this is the way to do it!!! The unfortunate news for my LA friends is that he is moving to the east coast. The good news is that my east coast friends can enjoy his services! Love his work. He is truly the best.

But I'm glad I do, this is about character and seeing it lived out. I do not endorse people I do not believe in and I am absolutely endorsing Bill at Whole Heart Studios because I believe in what he is doing. I am also a customer, Bill took my Professional headshot for work. He made me laugh, gave different angles to pose to, and I immediately got to see what shots he took. He even edited some of the photos by my recommendation. I easily would have paid $300 for the work he did. His prices were more than reasonable and the fact that he gave his personal touch to me, I highly recommend him and I have referrals on the way. Absolute pro till the end. Thanks Bill for helping me step up my game!
