Just knowing we have the memories to last us forever on DVD. Lance uses High Definition Canon cameras and use unobtrusive Lightpanels on-camera lighting. I think this quality equipment makes a huge difference in the final product, along with Lance's invaluable experience. Our wedding video impresses each person that watches it and we couldn't be happier. It must be noted that one of the main reasons we chose Watts Films was Lance. He was so personable, very real with us, and put us very much at ease. While he was very humorous and cracked jokes with my fiancé, he was also very professional. You won't be sorry if you hire Lance as your wedding videographer, or for any of your video needs. He's the real thing, lives up to (and exceeds) all expectations, and is a quality person. Thanks for everything, Lance!

Lance Watts is truly gifted. As noted in the previous review he uses the top of the line cameras,…read morebut what sets him apart from so many is the energy and calmness he brings to a wedding. I have recommended him to many of my friends and coworkers and they have all loved his work and his presence at their wedding. Lance was the first videographer we interviewed ( we had never met him prior to that). We just had a feeling he would do a great job. Lucky for us -he did an over the top DVD for us. He could easliy charge a lot more money for the amount of time he puts into the DVD he presents you. Weddings can be chaotic and wonderful and Lance has a way of making you incredibly at ease. You have no idea he is there and yet he is able to capture such intimate moments that will last a life time. Lance is a true artitst. He is personable, funny, professional and a solid person. I highly recommend Lance. Lance was a gift to our wedding!

As a wedding planner I work with a lot of photographers. Hiring professional wedding vendors means…read moreyour event should run smooth and clients/couples will get excellent service! However, many photogs can be arrogant and take advantage of the timeline for the benefit of photos. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Catalina of Catalina Jean Photography and her videographer!!

Allison and her team were an absolute dream to work with. From the moment I contacted her, Allison…read morewas nothing but prompt, responsive, helpful, and simply just kind. She answered my unending stream of questions, and made planning our Arizona wedding from Virginia a very easy and enjoyable process! She was not only extremely flexible in the creation of or perfect day, but also offered suggestions and her expertise, which was always greatly appreciated. Besides being insanely talented and accomplished, the coolest thing about Allison is her genuine personality. She offered a fun yet organized presence on the day of our wedding, and made us feel at ease and as though we were just pals spending a perfect day together! Sam, the videographer, is her perfect counterpart. He was a delight to be around and someone we will always remember, not to mention the perfect gift he gave us in video form! I will never be able to adequately express my gratitude for the moments that were created and captured, but am eternally thankful for the images and video that we have to remember them by. We ended our day feeling completely fulfilled and enchanted by the pure magic that Allison and her team helped us create!

We took photos at our hotel, around the city, and at our wedding venue. Each location was shot beautifully. The photos capture the spirit and emotion of the day, as well as all the details we couldn't possibly have seen on our own. Plus, Jessica and Travis have wonderful personalities and were a joy to be with all day. They handled the chaos of a wedding with professionalism and grace, and made everyone feel at ease in front of the camera. Jessica is truly an artist and her work is photojournalism at its best. Look no further if you want someone who goes beyond traditional wedding photography! It is an investment that you will not regret.

We planned small intimate wedding, and she coordinated with us so seamlessly beforehand to know what kind of shots/style we wanted and was accommodating when we wanted to book a little extra time for family pictures. Her communication with us was always very timely and clear. She made us feel super comfortable when we were taking the pictures both during and after the ceremony, and the photos turned out beautiful! She was able to capture the "look & feel" of how we wanted our photos to be. Wow, truly amazing work. We cannot wait until our prints come so we can hang them in our house.

Long overdue review here - finally getting to review all the great people who helped make our…read morewedding wonderful! I was referred to Eshani with Isla and Magnolia through another photographer who was already booked on the day of our wedding. I appreciated someone in the industry giving me a heads up on another photographer since they'll know better who can handle the job. I LOVED working with Eshani. She was easy to talk to, always available, clear on pricing details, and organized. I met with her a few times in person before the big day and she took her time going over ideas and really listening to what I was aiming for, as well as contributing ideas from her experience. I really enjoyed spending time with her and felt very comfortable and confident that she would be a great person to have with me on a day that's so built up. We had a second shooter,Felicia Kieselhorst, who worked with her the day of and they blended well together. She was really nice and came up with some creative ideas while working with the groomsmen. They took a TON of photos from various angles throughout the ceremony and reception and surprised me with some unique photos they took using our jewelry and boutonnieres. I was surprised at how many images they took since I barely noticed them weaving through the day (aside from our planned photos). We had a glitch in timing before the ceremony when we were supposed to do our First Look photo - the groom was late! So guests started arriving and walking around the tree area where we were supposed to take our photo. Eshani calmly handled it and asked the guests to kindly move to a different area, however we ended up deciding last minute that it would be too impossible for people not to see us since the venue was all open rolling hills. Eshani found a beautiful secluded place on the property that ended up working perfectly and I was so grateful for her fast thinking! She was with us all day and I really felt like she was just another one of my friends that joined our group. She maintained professionalism but really made me feel comfortable and we basically just giggled all morning until the ceremony. The pictures turned out amazing and I'm so glad I chose her for the most important photo day of my life so far. I would definitely recommend her.

Prior to the session, her communication was fantastic(responding to emails on vacation!) and was totally flexible when scheduling. The photos turned out amazing, she had them edited to us really quickly, and we'll treasure them for years to come. Icing on the cake, the quality for the price can't be beat! No doubt we will go to her first if we need a photographer in the future and I couldn't recommend Eshani/Isla and Magnolia enough!
