I met Tom and Melissa from Long Haul Films when we photographed a wedding at the Fairmont Copley…read morePlaza together last October. In a world of in-your face videographers I was immediately impressed with their unobtrusiveness and professionalism. I often see wedding videos from my couples and they're kind of like moving versions of the still pictures but when I saw the trailer film that Long Haul had produced I was wowed. It perfectly complimented the still pictures. I know a lot of couples are on the fence about getting a wedding film but I think if you see one of Long Hauls films not only will it tell the story of your day there's something about having footage of yourselves, parents, grandparents actually moving and talking. I would mortgage my house to have this kind of film of my grandparent's wedding day, this is a perfect investment for future generations. With all of that said, I have been thinking about doing some kind of promotional film for my photography business and so I approached Tom and Melissa about my initial ideas. They were a dream to work with. I went back and forth about a bunch of things and our schedule kept changing but they were endlessly cheerful, provided me with so much great information and helped me make a number of big decisions about what to include. Melissa conducted the interviews with my past wedding clients and she has a gift for making people feel at ease and drawing out little stories. When I saw the raw footage I was blown away. I will admit the control-freak part of me wondered how they would possibly edit it all down to tell the best story however I figured I would have complete trust. I've just seen the finished films (one main one and a number of smaller vignettes) and I am in awe. The lighting is superb, the editing is perfect, the color fantastic, the sound/music just right but most importantly Long Haul have perfectly encapsulated the message I wanted to tell my future clients. I couldn't recommend them highly enough for wedding or commercial work. I've had the pleasure of working with them on both types of film and they are just brilliant.

We cannot recommend Tom and Melissa highly enough! They really captured the day, particularly what…read morethe photos can't capture, the audio from the vows and the speeches. They both have a terrific eye for light and form, and are very talented in the editing room (knew to get rid of a couple cringe-worthy moments I'd prefer not to remember :) We have a short "trailer" and a fully edited DVD with the events from the whole day complete with audio and music. Everything is edited to tell the story of the day - weaving between the two parties getting ready - the venues, ceremony, cocktails and the reception. The video is perfectly timed, and somehow concise, while capturing the weight of the whole day. It leaves you satiated yet wanting more - and never wanting to fast forward. We were hesitant to use a videographer - we didn't want to feel like we were being followed by paparazzi (not exactly my element). The day of we barely noticed them (no big spotlights or awkward interviews). A couple months after the wedding they sent us our cut to review. The spirit, laughter and the emotions of the big day were perfectly captured - we both got choked up at a few parts (and still do - again and again). I can honestly say we'll watch our wedding video on our anniversary every year. It was one of the best decisions I made planning. It's absolutely worth it.

I've been hesitant to write a review because that's not something I like to do but I feel like I…read moreshould say something. I feel like I didn't get the quality I was promised for my wedding video. First off, I only got 1 videographer not 2. He was late so the beginning of my video was rushed. The camera was not good quality it was a little handheld camera which I should've seen as a red flag. He forgot to put the microphone on my husband during the ceremony so we don't have good sound on that portion of the video, which is the most important in my opinion. I was so sad watching it I couldn't even watch the whole thing or show it to family. My parents just watched it for the first time and agreed with me and suggested I write a review to warn others. I went with the better price and got bad quality. I would suggest paying a little more to make sure your special day is captured beautifully. Nothing I can do now but get this off my chest. Hopefully this doesn't happen to any of their future clients.

My son's bar mitzvah is coming up and I'm using the majority of the same vendors I used for my…read moredaughter's a few years ago. For my daughter's montage I used our videographer in the Chicago North Shore who did an amazing job, but it was extremely expensive. When I sat down after to decide where I could cut back for my son's finding a more affordable option for the montage was on the list. I got a list of options from my event planner and friends including Mitzvah Montage. I reached out to Gary back in July and found his work to be impressive and his pricing to be very fair, but ultimately decided to go with someone else who was local in the Chicago North Shore. I was just about to send my pics to who I had hired for our montage when I received an email that his computer broke and due to lost templates he was no longer able to make our montage. Eek. I started scrambling to find someone new with 6 weeks to spare when I remembered my correspondence with Gary months earlier. I reached out and he responded immediately that they were still available. Phew! Gary has a very organized process- probably more organized than the videographer I used for my daughter's. I followed his format and then sent him all the pictures via wetransfer, which proved to be a little difficult since my computer doesn't allow wetransfer. Fortunately, i was able to figure it out on my husband's computer. From there I received one email from Gary with a few clarification questions and then they got to work. Gary was very clear from the beginning that we would receive the montage 10 days before the event...maybe earlier. A friend of mine had also used Gary and received hers way before the 10 day mark (and didn't give him nearly as much lead time) so I expected to have it at least 3 weeks beforehand. However, we received it exactly 10 days beforehand (as Gary promised) which made me a little nervous since our DJ typically requires 2 weeks beforehand to test. Fortunately, the first review Gary provided was near perfect and he made the little photo addition I had within one day. However, when I use mitzvah montage again in the future (and i likely will for kid #3) I may request receiving it at least 2 weeks beforehand. Overall a very positive experience and in the 24 hours I've had the montage I've watched it at least 20 times. I can't wait to show it to everyone, but love that i have something so special documenting the first 13 years of my son's life to keep forever.

Gary, the owner, is awesome. We hired him for our wedding in '09 and he sent out Bruce and another…read moregirl to cover our wedding day. They were great; very professional, on time, stayed through the end of the wedding (I think this may have been longer than we contracted them for). Gary is sensitive to budgets and really worked with us to customize a package that we could afford. He was so kind, flexible and reasonable we even referred him to a friend who was also getting married at the same time and they booked him for their wedding and loved him as well. Gary met with us and walked us through samples of coverage and made us feel comfortable signing the contract with him (no pressure). The final product, the video, was great. He was able to turn it around in time for us to give it as gifts for the Holidays. He captured all the "must-see" moments and also edited out some falls and embarrassing moments (thanks Gary!).
