I was referred to Dmitriy by word of mouth last year when I was planning my wedding. Starting from our first phone conversation, he was a pleasure to work with. Dmitriy gave me multiple options and also referred me to his website to check out his work. When we met, he was very patient and kind despite my crazy father's questions and requests. He also listened carefully to my requests and gave suggestions as appropriate. A few months before my wedding, I decided that I wanted Dmitriy to create a slideshow to show guests during my wedding. After I got all the pictures and videos together, Dmitriy put together a slideshow for me, which I loved. We went back and forth a couple of times when I decided to remove some pictures and add different ones and no matter how many changes I wanted to make Dmitriy was patient and more than willing to make the final product perfect for me.
On the day of my wedding, Dmitriy and his assistant Jay arrived exactly on time. They went straight to work and filmed everything that we talked about and more. Dmitriy was very organized and already had a plan in place because he did a walk through of the hotel and best places to film prior to my wedding. I wanted drone shots since my ceremony was on a rooftop and Dmitriy and Jay worked so hard to make my dreams a reality. When it was time to show my slideshow during the wedding, Dmitriy brought his own equipment and set everything up quickly without any hiccups. I think that both Dmitiry and Jay did a great job picking out what and who to film during the party and also incorporated great shots of the décor, which I worked so hard to perfect. My guests loved Jay and Dmitriy as well because they said that they never felt like that camera was in their face or in the way.
Just one short month after my wedding Dmitriy already had my highlight video and my full video ready! The highlight video is amazing! That Friday night when he sent it to me I probably watched it at least 50 times in a row! It made me smile, cry, and laugh every single time. I sent the video to my close friends and family and they all called me crying as well and said it was the most beautiful video that they've ever seen! Also, the quality of the video was amazing! The more I watched the video, the more I began to notice small details like when guests (& my now husband) teared up during the ceremony. The full-length movie was great too as it was put together very professionally. Dmitriy offered to make changes if I wanted to cut anything out or change the music but he really has great taste so I didn't see any changes that needed to be made. Dmitriy was so easy to work with. His professionalism is very evident and he is calm but also extremely knowledgeable and will offer advice and suggestions as needed. His prices cannot be beat (I know because I did get quotes from a handful of cinematographers) and neither can his personality or work. I already recommended Dmitriy to two of my friends who are planning their weddings and will continue to recommend his work to everyone! I also definitely plan to hire Dmitriy again for any special events in the future. read more
