N Compass Cinema filmed my wedding Jan of 2013. THE STRONG…read morePOINTS: We really enjoyed their highlight review of the wedding - I think this is their FORTE - the turnaround time for this highlight reel was 24-48 hours. We watched on our honeymoon in Hawaii. I've gotten so many compliments and raves about the highlights video and it definitely helped me remember all the details. We weren't originally going to hire a videographer but we decided to 2-3 months before the wedding - SO GLAD we did. Check out the highlight reels on vimeo.com! You'll love them! I like that they had 2 people filming and the price point is very reasonable. THE DOWNERS: Music was a very thought out process in my wedding ceremony. I picked music that wasn't traditional and I really wanted it to come out in my wedding video. Sadly, while watching the video I heard the generic background music CLASHING with the HARP music that was playing during the ceremony. For about 5 minutes, the music clashing against each other was very distracting and made me very, very sad. Even the String Quartet music that was playing while I was walking down the aisle was cut out. After paying $1,000 for the string quartet, I don't get to hear them on the video. {Insert SUPER SAD face here + tears} I don't hold this against them. I partly think that I should have specifically said to keep all the original ceremony music in the long video reel. But, also, I think that as videographers, I would think that if they heard the crashing on the video reel while editing, they would have thought about cutting their music out and letting the HARP play. Considering that they have great reviews here on yelp, it just makes me think they didn't really sit down and take the best care with editing process on our video. Maybe they should consider to include every client through the editing process. My advice to you: HIRE THEM! Generally, you won't be disappointed. But make sure you're specific on what you want kept on the long video reel and what you don't mind being cut out. Lastly, Just an FYI - the wait time to get your actual DVD/BLU-RAY wedding reel video will be 1 year after the wedding. This is specified on the contract. I got married in Jan. I got the video Mid-Dec. This is why this review was written so long after we got married. But, at the end of the day, I'm happily married. {Insert SUPER HAPPY FACE here}

Her advice was backed with great reasoning of her personal experiences, which also made opening up to her about myself a lot easier. I really appreciate that Cassie was so personable and genuinely cared about my personal growth and wellness. Our conversations together felt really comfortable while she still held me accountable to focus on my self growth and turn away from looking down on myself. I came into our sessions feeling really unsure of where my life was going. I was rather discouraged about who I was and insecure about my friendships. Doing my sessions with Cassie, I was really able to change my mindset on these - while I am still growing, I've already been able to have a really positive and growth-oriented mindset. In a session where we talked about friendships, Cassie helped me greatly to walk through what my values are, and she was really great at listening to the experiences I've had with friends in the past. Between sessions with homework, it never felt like homework. Since She helped me to get into a habit of journaling, it really felt like a self-focus time on my own. Her worksheets are straightforward and helpful, and never felt like too much to do.
