Ethan and Sarah of WedFlix were our wedding videographers. They, and whoever else might have been…read moreworking behind the scenes (e.g., the editor), did an amazing job! Look no further than the videos they made for our wedding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRx5lcNXmdA&list=PLrr0d7WQIs3zYGvkIWkiihoFhVHPfCqfg&index=1. The videos on their YouTube channel are really all you need to see to get a feel for their quality of work and to see if their style is the right fit for you: https://www.youtube.com/c/WedFlix. WedFlix produces classy, high-quality, cinematic videos. We were very pleased with WedFlix and recommend them.
Admittedly, our first choice for videography was Justin Peay Productions. He's from Statesboro, just like my wife. Unfortunately, Justin wasn't available for either our initial wedding date in 2020 nor our final wedding date in 2022. It just wasn't meant to be. If I recall correctly, Justin Peay was significantly more expensive than WedFlix.
We originally signed a contract with and made an initial payment to WedFlix in 2019, so we got 2019 pricing in some regard. COVID ultimately delayed our wedding for two years. We initially purchased the "Mom's Choice Videography Package" for $2,800. Mom's Choice came with 8 hours of coverage (first look through send-off), 2 videographers, drone footage, a 4-7 minute highlight video (trailer), and a full 25-40 minute video including interviews (if we wanted interviews; we declined that option), first look, the ceremony, speeches/toasts, the cake cutting, and dances (first dance, mother-son dance).
Our full wedding film actually clocked in at over an hour, due mainly I think to my dad's long "toast." In addition to the above, the film included nice montages of scenes from our cocktail hour, reception dancing, and send-off.
We had to move our wedding twice due to the pandemic. First, from 2020 to 2021. Second, from 2021 to 2022. Due to the unprecedented nature of the pandemic, our venue and all of our vendors did not charge us for the first date change. However, we did start getting dinged for the second date change, which was understandable. WedFlix charged us $300 for the second date change.
Later, my wife and I decided to add an Instagram Video to our package for $150. The video is a one-minute highlight trailer designed for Instagram and other social media platforms.
Weeks before the wedding, when filling out WedFlix's questionnaire to better tailor their video to our vision (very important), they gave us an option for a "Drunken Interviews Edit." This is where they interview wedding guests during the reception for marriage advice and "words of wisdom." I thought it would be funny so I added it onto our package for $200. To me, our guests were a very important part of our wedding. The Drunken Interviews Edit was a good way to showcase them.
In the end, the final total cost we paid to WedFlix for everything was $3,450. We loved all of the videos we received from WedFlix and thought everything from WedFlix was totally worth it. They captured the best day of our lives so far and we will cherish the videos they made forever.
Out of all of the videos WedFlix made for us, our favorite is the wedding trailer: https://youtu.be/qCchwS6dAZs. It perfectly and beautifully sums up our wedding day in 5 minutes. Such outstanding work. We couldn't be more happy with it.
If I had to nitpick, our final wedding film did not come out perfect. The two main issues were: (1) There was no footage of the bridespeople coming down the stairs at the reception. Admittedly, I think that was a function of our large, unique ceremony venue and there being only two videographers and three cameras covering the ceremony. (2) The audio sounded blown out during several parts of our reception. It was hard to understand the MC. I let WedFlix know and they were able to create a second version of our full wedding film which corrected the issues. However, a new issue arose as a result - the second version of the film had a slight echo in the music during our cake cutting. The echo couldn't be corrected, so I asked WedFlix to create a *third* version of the film that combined the best audio from both the first and second versions. I appreciated that they did all that to make sure we were happy with the final product.
WedFlix's turnaround time was fast. During a busy wedding season/year (spring/2022), all of our videos were ready in only 18 days from the day of our wedding.
Thank you, Ethan, Sarah, and WedFlix for telling our story in such a beautiful and incredible way.
