LPS is an amazing company ! We used them for our wedding on 11/25/18 for video and photography…read more They did SUCH an amazing job with everything !! I honestly didn't even see them the whole wedding and they got some outstanding shots! They obviously know how to give you your space while still capturing the important moments. Nothing more you can ask for in a company! The trailer video and our album came out PERFECT!! We truly are so grateful to have found this company. They are so amazing at what they do. They are worth every last penny. Thank you for doing an outstanding job!!

Very mixed feelings about our experience with LPS…read more Our wedding was in April of 2019 and LPS did both our photos and video. To state the positive, yes, LPS produces beautiful work with amazing quality. We recognize and acknowledge that the photos and videos are top-notch among others in this industry. In the end, we are very happy with the final deliverables. We received the last of of all deliverables (the hard drive containing all video footage) yesterday (10/9/2019), which is almost six full months after the wedding. However, regardless of the fact that it took almost half a year to receive photos and video of our wedding, this wasn't the biggest source of our frustration. The frustration mainly lived in the near total lack of communication from LPS. We understand that LPS is a large company that handles many, many clients at the same time. We also understand the painstaking process of photo/video editing. What we don't understand is LPS' failure to provide timely updates on where we are in the entire process. We feel that the very least LPS could've done was to provide monthly updates on how they were progressing with the final assets. The contract explicitly stated that certain assets would be delivered after a certain time period (i.e. 6 weeks after wedding, 10 weeks after wedding, etc). However, LPS failed to reach out during the days leading up to the final due date, to give us an update or confirmation on process. We were always the ones who had to reach out first to ask if we would receive our items on time. Therefore, we ended up always feeling left in the dark, wondering what was going on and chasing after something that couldn't be reached. Let's face it. LPS is not cheap. The prices are expected given the nature of their high quality. However, we started to question if it was really worth it (we paid nearly $8k)--to go through the long wait in radio silence & total darkness. To summarize-- PROS: High quality, friendly/professional crew on the day-of CONS: Very long wait for deliverables, lack of communication

Jimmy and Alice are amazing! My fiance and I debated hiring a videographer for a while because we…read morewanted to keep the cost of the wedding down. However, since the beginning, Jimmy was very kind, professional and easy to work with. He was able to get us a package that fit our needs and budget. We were in touch throughout the planning process and even the production of the film. We were able to choose songs that were meaningful to us to use in the film, which made it so much more special. We love LOVE both our short and full length films. They really capture the day and allowed us to experience moments of our guests we weren't there for. We've gotten so many compliments on the films and are so glad we decided to hire a videographer and go with Drama Life Films!

My husband and I are so happy that we did decide to get a videographer and went with Drama Life Films. From the minute we hire them they were very responsive and answered any questions I had. I dealt with Jimmy and he just great to work with. the day of the wedding Jimmy and Alice (his assistant) showed up on time, well dressed and ready to work. Jimmy stayed with me while Alice went and capture my husband getting ready. During the ceremony and reception they were both invisible which was great since they capture every detail without being in the way. Two months after our big day we received our trailer and video and we were completely wowed. The work they did was amazing, they were able to capture all of the details and the most important part was our true personalities and love. We are obsessed with our videos and cant stop watching them. If you need a videographer then don't hesitate to go with Dram Life films.

If we could give 0 stars, we would. We have been trying to track down Natalie since 2017 for our…read morewedding videos. We were thrilled with our proofs, but when we asked for them and our videos to be provided in the form of a USB, we were ignored. Both videos were linked to Natalie Hedley Caro's Vimeo account. Once the Vimeo account expired, we were unable to access any of our wedding videos. Only once did I hear back from her after sharing mutual frustration with several other unhappy customers via her Instagram account. This seemed to gain her attention more than my pleas for copies of our wedding videos. After paying 7K to Natalie and reaching out to her several times, we are still unable to access our wedding videos. Emails bounce back as undeliverable and her website has been deactivated. I would highly suggest looking elsewhere for a reliable photographer. Very disappointed with Natalie.

Right from the beginning, she made us feel comfortable and is so much fun to be around (and her photos are beautiful, natural and really capture US as people) Can't wait to have her there for our big day in November. If you're looking for a wedding photographer in New York or Brooklyn, call her!

My firm recently worked with Sarah Merians Photography for head shots and marketing photos of our…read morepartners. We were beyond satisfied with every aspect of the process, from discussing our needs to the actual photo session, the consultative advice, and turnaround. Most importantly, Sarah nailed it with the final product, which exceeded our expectations! There are a ton of options to get a simple head shot taken, but after working with Sarah, I experienced the difference between someone snapping photos and a true creative professional who knows how to efficiently get the exact nuance of expressions and gestures that make a profound difference in the finished product. The turnaround time from photo session to looking at proofs and being able to use our photos was less than 48 hours, which was outstanding! Despite the fact that our need was quite small compared with event photography, we were treated as if we were a large customer. Working with Sarah Merians Photography & Video was first-rate in every way, and I will definitely work with them for my future firm, client, and personal photography needs!

Like the other reviews on this site, we had a terrible experience with the entire team. From the…read morephotographer, to the other people, no one took responsibility for doing a good job. And the final product was bad. The aggravation was overwhelming. The extra money constantly being asked for was embarrassing. My wife is ready to pull her hair out she is so frustrated by the lack of concern and service offered by this company, I have never heard her stomp around the apartment so loud in my life! The downstairs neighborhood is probably worried about us.

The day of our wedding, we were very impressed with our photographers. They arrived early, stayed…read morelate, worked hard, and were very congenial. Our guests appreciated their presence. When we got our photos a month and a half later, we were somewhat disappointed. There didn't seem to be a lot of great photos. Lots were dark; many were out of focus or mis-focused, and lots of key moments seemed to be captured at awkward angles--perhaps too much effort was placed on being inconspicuous. We didn't really get the sense that a lot of time was spent post-processing them, either. (We realized later that most of our favorite photos from their portfolio were on very bright days in all-white houses and professionally-lit reception halls. We wrongly assumed the beauty was captured via their execution.) I wouldn't say they were "bad," just underwhelming relative to even our tempered expectations. The most disappointing part came at the end. We tried hard to express our disappointment diplomatically. We asked the lead photographer to point out some of the photos he put extra work into so we could appreciate them or compare them to the raw photos, and we asked for some of the photos they had removed (due to focus issues, etc.) so we could maybe salvage parts of them ourselves if they captured a moment we wanted but missed. His responses were very defensive and unproductive. He said he spent lots of time on them, he insisted we were sent great photos, and that we don't understand working with a videographer and how that limited the angles they could get. We attempted to deescalate by clarifying that we were just trying to get the most out of the day without imposing more time on him, not to criticize or complain, but it was fruitless. He said he selected the best photos and only removed bad photos, then later contradicted that he had sent us all the photos when we requested the "bad" ones. In the end, he returned our tip (which we didn't want or ask him to do), and stopped responding to us without providing any of the material we requested. I get that asking to "show your work" can be insulting to a professional, but his response when we were just trying to make the most of the situation was anything but professional. I'm sure there are plenty of Bride- and Groom-zillas who will be much less understanding than we, and while the photos were a little disappointing, the final taste in our mouths gives me more reason to advise caution.

Edward from PhotoVideoGo is exactly what we were hoping for. We were planning a small wedding, in a…read morerather tight and confining space, and we were worried about being able to get a good video of our event. Edward turned out to be especially easy to deal with - returning calls and emails immediately, and listening to and answering all our requests, concerns and questions. He came to the event early to plan how to get the best shots and accommodate the tight space. He had an additional videographer and second camera so he would not have to move around too much, and not disrupt the ceremony. And he got everything - editing the two videos to give us a complete record of our wedding. Edward exceeded our expectations in every way, and delivered a quality video of our wedding that is a delightful and moving experience to watch and share with our family and friends. We were extremely impressed with Edward's professionalism, diligence, focus and easy nature in dealing with our guests and young children. And he delivered an artistic, creative, beautiful final product, on time! We highly recommend Edward from PhotoVideoGo for your next celebration. You won't be disappointed.

It'll mark our 1st year wedding anniversary in 3 weeks and we are still missing both pictures and…read morevideos that were included in our contract. We have been completely ghosted by Ed and team, and exhausted all possible forms of communication to get a response. Alchemedia missed all deadlines in our contract and didn't give a heads up prior for anything. They only responded when we followed up with them after receiving nothing at each deadline date. Photos were sent 6 months late and are still incomplete. Our video was sent 5 months late and clearly looked rushed. We reached out to schedule a call to discuss our video feedback and ask about all missing items from our contract, but haven't heard back from them on availability and still haven't received an ETA on when we will have a completed wedding gallery. It's sad to see how we've waited close to a year for our completed wedding footage and are not confident that it'll be complete by our 1st year wedding anniversary. We overpaid, considering we are still missing footage that was billed to us, and wouldn't wish this upon another couple as Alchemedia is horrible with communication especially post wedding.

The one day it snowed this year, is the day i got married. I also want you to understand that I…read moredon't get along with snow, but this team got me through the day. I have been in touch with Derrick over the months and he is super responsive and managed the meetings/organization and details. I met with the core team in person and and via skype to review my crazy logistics, and they provided the best input to help the day go smoothly. Now onto the day of. They arrived at the hotel i stayed at and took about 45 min on my detail shots. If they're taking such care with pictures of your dress and shoes, then you know you're getting some quality stuff from this team. Kevin and Ed were fun and kept me peppy/reassured even though i kept glaring at the snow. My guess is that they also scouted the building because they found a balcony for us to take photos and walked me out so i would slip (in solidarity, they even told me they'd fall with me if it came to it). I loved that thoroughness and thought they put into the location. They even helped me carry stuff to the uber! While some of the crew was with me, they sent a few others to the venue where the groom + groomsmen were setting up and getting ready. They had a number of different angles, shots and locations they wanted to try, many of them were not exactly easy or comfortable for them to do (i.e. being out in the snow and cold), but they wanted to help me get the best shot. FYI, i think they also ruined their drone for me. Throughout the night, i was speaking and walking around to see friends, and out of the corner of my eye, i could see the team taking photos of everything. I literally think they didn't take any breaks. Am i happy with everything? Absolutely. I've been to a lot of weddings, and many times my friends complain about whom they hire. I have zero and am so glad they were my vendor. Thank you for a great wedding day!
