Not only did it feel like Daniel had been part of our friend circle for years, you could tell that he was passionate about his work and wanted the very best for us. In the various pre-wedding meetings with Daniel, we shared our vision for the video and examples of the style that we liked. He incorporated all of that and sprinkled in some of his artistic flair as well that really added to the video. On the wedding day, Daniel and the second shooter were great and took some amazing video of our entire day. We couldn't be happier with the end result and knew it was because Daniel busted his tail getting it out in a timely fashion. We've heard nothing but positive things about our trailer and wedding video and we would recommend Daniel D Video to everyone for their wedding day.

From the start, Daniel made us feel completely at ease, which was so important to us. We wanted our photos to feel fun and candid, not overly posed, and the team really delivered on that.

We loved the whole crew's calm energy, and they were quick to adapt to whatever came up, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. The quality of the final photos and video exceeded our expectations, and we felt truly special working with them.

I am incredibly shy but I found it so easy to open up to Erica and she was mindful of this with regards to ceremony planning as well. Our ceremony was personal, meaningful, short, and everything we could have asked for plus somethings we would have never even thought to ask for! My husband and I both come from families deeply rooted in the Catholic faith. We were nervous about how our famillies would feel about our non-religious wedding but everyone was both touched and impressed by how it turned out. I will be forever grateful to Erica for playing such an integral role in our special day.

Words can't describe how thankful we are for 312 Films. Our wedding video is beyond stunning..it's something we'll cherish forever. You can feel the heart, care, and creativity that went into every single frame. These memories are truly priceless, and because of your team, we get to relive them for the rest of our lives. You gave us the greatest gift of being able to relive the day over and over again, and we'll never stop being grateful.

312Film is the best choice for your wedding video, period! Anna and Artem run 312Film- they are an…read moreextremely talented husband and wife team who personally film your day, edit the video, and deliver your final product. They are prompt and responsive so you don't need to keep emailing them to reach out or remind them of things. They pay attention during your meetings so you don't end up repeating yourself- they understand exactly what you're looking for/what kind of couple you are/what you'll end up caring about and then make a super individualized video for you. They gave the perfect amount of direction to us throughout the day, so my husband and I look natural- not awkward or forced- but we have all of the gorgeous romantic/epic moments you'd want in a wedding video. Anna is SUPER creative so she had me do little things for the camera that came out GORGEOUS (ex: she had me walk down the hallway and open the double doors to my bridal suite and I look like a QUEEN in that shot). They even split up- so Anna filmed my morning, while Artem filmed my husband's morning-before coming together for the 1st look and rest of the day's events and the film product ended up so cohesive with such an epic style. I think because they're two married artists, they have a deep, almost telepathic understanding of what will work so Anna and Artem would be filming us without having to talk to one another and interrupt/ruin a candid shot as it was unfolding or make us reenact things. These 2 can communicate just by looking at each other so they were able to capture us genuinely laughing or talking and those little natural soundbite pearls made the video extra special for us. Anna and Artem are such pleasant, loving, genuinely empathetic people that made a stressful day feel safe and relaxed. They have such a wonderful disposition and energy. I spent over 12 hours with them and never one time felt irritated, even during moments of stress (which you will inevitably have on your wedding day!). Lastly- Anna and Artem worked super well with my 2 photographers- which I didn't realize would be so important! 312Film would create a situation or give us direction on something to do and it gave our photographers some of their best shots/our favorite pictures. If you're shopping around- just take my advice and hire 312Film. You will not regret it. They are worth every penny and I'd use them again in a heartbeat!

We met Chris and got to see some of his work, chatted for awhile and knew he would be a great addition to our "wedding team." After meeting him we set up a time to do our engagement pictures- so much fun! My (now) husband HATES having his picture taken but he was completely at ease with Chris and we laughed and had a great time through the whole process. My cheeks hurt from having such a good time! On the day of our wedding I never had to worry where Chris and his assistant were, I knew they were going to get all the important shots. We did the majority of our photos before the wedding and Chris had scouted a great location near by. They had great ideas which perfectly fit my vision. I don't think they stopped taking pictures for HOURS! During the reception Chris was great at both getting group shots and some wonderful candids that have gone down in our family history as classics! The photos turned out amazing and the experience was amazing. I have and will continue to recommend Ocken Photography to all my friends and can't wait to use them for family portraits!

We wanted a photographer there to capture pictures of us and our children. As a result, we only needed a photographer for about an hour on a Saturday afternoon. I contacted Christopher via email on September 20 and explained our situation, and he said he was available for our October 20 date. Christopher sent us his contract via email. After that, I tried to contact him several times to follow up both via email and phone. I left several voicemail messages in the ensuing weeks, but he never returned any of the phone calls. Plus, time was running out to find someone new. Our wedding is in less than a week and Christopher is MIA. We can't find a replacement. Horrible! Thanks a lot Christopher! Maybe some day you will get around to reading these reviews and realize how badly you dropped the ball and let us down. If you couldn't do the job you set out to do, then you should have notified us ASAP so that we could make alternative arrangements.

We love his style - bold and bright colors with our beautiful city as the background. He captures candid photos as well as comfortable posed shots.

He replied to our questions right away and was extremely professional and authentic.

We felt super at ease with him, and loved getting to take photos with just us and him post-ceremony in the neighborhood surrounding our incredible venue - Ovation.

He was the absolute best!
