I have waited almost two years to write this review because I have tried to give myself time to see…read moreif my opinion changed. it has not. while there are other reviews that praise 4joy media, I cannot give a good review. my wedding pictures were not good. i have more photos of table settings than I do family members. all the photos of family, bridal party, and myself + husband were taken in the same spot. my wedding was outside in a beautiful wooded area and all the photos were done under the arch in the same spot. there are no poses photos. just people standing by. no fun photos or artistic photos. just groups of people, standing next to me and my husband, under the arch, smiling...sometimes. I have only two photos where my husband and I are not kissing. Casey likes kiss photos a lot! I do not. but I have lots of kiss photos. some photos are blurry. most of the family photos have people blinking, looking away, or not smiling. the only photo I have with my mom, her eyes are closed. When I asked Casey if there were any that didn't have those issues she told me it was because people were taking photos with their cell phones and not her fault. while there is a possibility of that, prior to photos we announced over the loudspeaker for guests to go inside and for anyone who was staying to put away cell phones, and they did! I also know this because I have asked everyone for their cell phone photos and no one has given me any because they put theirs away when Casey was working. so these are just the result if Casey's skill. also, group photos look odd. people are standing at odd angles or everyone is bunched together except one straggler off to the side. things just look off. There were many unflattering angels taken of me that made my figure look awful! I asked her about that and she said it was her artistic expression. In one photo I looked pregnant because she took it from under me. While Casey and her husband are very kind people, I cannot recommend her photography skills. Now, maybe this was all my fault. I wasn't a bridzilla who wanted to control and direct everything. I hired Casey and wanted to enjoy my wedding while the she captured it. I wanted her artistic skills to enhance my wedding memories. However, she is a nice lady with a nice camera, but she is not a photographer. maybe she has gotten better since it has been two years. I regret not shopping around more. she had some good reviews on Yelp. I liked her website. but what I got was not what I thought I would get. anyways, I paid Casey and have everything downloaded on my computer. when I look at those photos I get very upset because the day is gone, the event is over, and a redo isn't possible. i have one good photo that I like of me and my husband. but, I would not say it is a miraculously beautiful photo. it's just a nice photo that could have been taken by anyone. we look happy in it. that's what I came out with. I guess one is better than none.

Distinctive Video Productions is the absolute best videographer that I could have selected to…read morecapture our wedding day. My parents gifted us a wedding videographer as our wedding present, and I can't believe I almost went without one. We worked mainly with Howard who was willing to accommodate us every step of the way. As we were planning our music festival themed wedding, we explained that we were planning a few unconventional activities like having a bounce house, mega-bubbles, and smoke grenades. Howard was impressed with our plans and I felt that he was just as excited as we were about our wedding day. Howard and his team were exceptionally easy to work with. He has a great sense of humor, which helped me relax as I was feeling anxious/nervous because we were a little behind schedule. The entire crew was very professional and more importantly, fun to be around. I saw them running around behind-the-scenes capturing all the moments I missed, which now I get to watch for years to come. They worked so well with all my other vendors and as a team really helping one another out. It can feel pretty awkward to be in front of the camera, but the team works so efficiently and blends so well into the background that everything felt natural. Howard is creative, energetic, and motivated - he genuinely enjoys capturing wedding videography and getting to know the couples. He is a retired videography teacher, so I knew we were in good hands. I truly enjoyed having him and his team as part of our #FestWeddingEver. Our wedding video is absolutely stunning and I am so happy can look back at it and help me remember the little details that tend to fade with time. Howard went above and beyond and provided us several video additions that weren't included in our contract, which I am so thankful for. I would recommend Distinctive Video Productions fully without hesitation to anyone looking for an amazing wedding videographer (which should be every bride and groom. Trust me, you'll want a video on top of photographs)! Watch my wedding video here: https://vimeo.com/303838509

He is excellent at capturing every moment without feeling like the camera is on you. He is reasonably priced and did an amazing job on our wedding video.

He did an excellent job telling our story and he did not kill our budget which is important when you are trying to pay for a wedding. Make sure to check out his Vimeo account and tell him what is important to you and he will make sure to have every moment just the way you want it.

The highlight video they did for me to show at our ceremony in Seattle was as a perfect recap that was so good I put on the internet!! Then he sent our full ceremony in such a classy box with the flashdrive ... I gave it to my husband as a surprise and he thought the box and flashdrive were the present it was so impressive. LOL SO grateful for the incredible work Bobby and his team did. Truly a classy act. I plan on using them for my business videos next. THANK YOU Bobby for capturing my best day yet!

We hired Chris as the photographer for our wedding in August 2024. After speaking with a few…read morepotential vendors, we felt like Chris understood what we were trying to capture on our special day and we really liked his documentary-style approach. He was a very clear communicator and we felt confident in his planning and organization. The day of, he was very professional and made sure we smoothly moved through all the photos of the family we needed. And the final products were beautiful - I absolutely loved all the candid photos, from the ceremony, to the reception and our awesome dance party.

Where to begin? My wife and I interviewed multiple photographers before we ended up talking to…read moreChris via facetime. Honestly, the conversation didn't feel like we were interviewing photographers for our wedding, it felt like we were talking to an old friend. From the initial conversation we had to the day of our wedding, Chris was nothing short of awesome. He was incredibly professional, he invoked laughter and candidness throughout the entire day, capturing real pictures - not staged photos. When you think about what makes an awesome wedding picture, we learned this was a huge factor. We're so happy we chose Chris to shoot our wedding, as he was able to capture what that day felt like - not just us and our families lined up in a row. For anyone considering Chris as a photographer, I'd highly encourage you to think about this, as very few photographers seem to truly capture the feeling, and also bring out the best sides of you and your loved ones. Chris was nothing short of incredible, and honestly we couldn't have asked for anything more from a photographer. He seemed to be invisible all the time throughout the day, but somehow always around - it's quite difficult to explain. Chris, thank you so much for capturing the essence of our wedding. My wife and I both agreed that you were one of the easiest pieces of coordinating and planning a wedding, and your work is absolutely stunning. If anyone still isn't convinced, just take a look at Chris' work - it speaks for itself. If we ever find ourselves needing professional photos of anything, we'll find a way to work with Chris again.

Jon's file sharing program made for an easy download. I feel like I clicked my fingers and POOF magical pictures appeared. I will definitely be asking Jon to help with future photography projects again! Thank you!!!

Wow! We can not recommend Dax Victorino Films enough. We…read morewere on the fence about booking a videographer for our wedding but our friends and family convinced us we would not regret the extra expense and we couldn't be happier with our decision! After looking at MANY options we finally found Dax and Pao. After watching many of the wedding videos they had created on youtube... and crying during most of them, they scheduled a meet and greet via zoom. They were thorough, thoughtful and detail oriented. We met with them once more right before the wedding just to go over how we were feeling and any last minute changes or requests. The day of the wedding couldn't have gone smoother with Dax and Pao. So many wedding guests came up to us to share how impressed they were with our videographers. After the getting ready photos, ceremony and bride and groom pictures they compiled some of their best snapshots and made a little video for DURING the wedding reception. We had no idea they were going to do this and it was so fun to see some of their work at the wedding. All our guests loved this aspect. We absolutely love our video that they created for us and communication could not have been more clear. We would highly, HIGHLY recommend using Dax and Pao as your videographers for any event. -Amanda and Luke
