If you want a wedding video that looks like something out of a movie, has an emotion-provoking…read moresoundtrack, captures all the special moments of your big day, and won't break the bank, Chad and his awesome team at Rethinkvideo will take care of it. As we all know, videographers ARE NOT cheap, but they're absolutely necessary if you really want to capture the magic of your wedding day for years to come. When I came across Chad's videos, I was stunned: they were so cinematic, beautiful, and full of emotion. Then, when I saw how affordable his packages were in comparison to other videographers, there was no doubt in my mind that I had found our videographer. We booked him right away, and he turned out to be one of our favorite vendors to work with.
+ VERY PROFESSIONAL: On our wedding day, the team set to work and knew exactly what to do and what to capture without getting in anybody's way. They only pulled me and/or my husband aside 2-3 times to "stage" a shot, but other than that, they left us alone to enjoy our special day.
+ CAPTURED EVERYTHING: The team captured all the special moments I was hoping to see: from the little things like our custom-made cake-topper and other décor, to the big things like our sparkler grand exit and my husband wiping away happy tears as he saw me coming down the aisle. They did a great job of dedicating more screen time to our bridal party and parents, but still zoned in on a variety of our guests so that everyone had a chance to shine.
+ VERY ACCOMODATING: Chad was more than happy to incorporate any requests I had for our video, which ranged from playing a particular song to incorporating a specific part of someone's speech. I really wanted our video to have certain elements, so it meant the world that Chad was so easy to work with.
+ QUICK TURNAROUND: We received our highlight video about 2 1/2 weeks after our wedding day. Our 2-3hrs of raw footage will take a little longer, but at least we have something to watch in the meantime.
- QUALITY VARIES: I've noticed that the quality DOES vary depending on the package you choose. Some of the shorter, cheaper packages aren't as "cinematic." I really encourage you to take a look at the different videos on their website to determine what style you're looking for and how much it will cost.
- MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MEET: With my Type A "perfectionist" personality, this was an issue for me at first. I was a very "hands-on" bride that wanted to double-triple-quadruple check every little detail with my vendors, so when Chad assured me that meeting wouldn't be necessary, I was very skeptical. However, he turned out to be right. We met him on the day of our wedding, and everything still turned out to be perfect. Just wanted to give other brides a heads-up!
Overall, Chad and his team at Rethinkvideo were a delight to work with. We're very, very pleased with their work and we would definitely recommend them for all your videography needs. And if you're still on the fence about it, check out their Vimeo page and let their beautiful wedding videos do the talking. Enjoy!
