You'll be sure to shed a tear, a laugh, and be left with such a warm felt feeling. I found Jaysin through a coworker who had used him, watching that one video, I knew I needed to meet him and have him capture our wedding. Start to finish perfection. We have people still watching our video after 6 months of marriage. I would recommend Jaysin to those brides and grooms who want to invest in a wonderful climatic film that shows the highlights of your big day. 100% WORTH IT! If there is one thing you need to make room for in your wedding budget, its Night Owls Media! https://vimeo.com/145357388 THANK YOU JAYSIN!!

From the get go we knew we were in fabulous hands with Jaysin. His energy, love for his craft, and…read morehis excitement for us as a couple was nothing short of amazing. His advise throughout the process went above and beyond Videography. Something as simple as, 'remember to take deep breaths during the day, the brain needs oxygen to remember all the special moments!' He checked in often with us, always pulse checking, to make sure we were good! On the big day, June 10, 2017, he has his team showed up, ready to go! Their professionalism, energy, excitement to be spending the day with us was exactly what we wanted with all our vendors. By the end of the night, Jaysin and his team were basically part of the family. He and the team got along with all our vendors, which was great, everyone worked so well together. Our family and friends in the bridal party enjoyed having them around too. The constant laughter, calming effect, and overall helpfulness was above and beyond what we had expected. The end products were nothing short of amazing, brought us to tears (happy of course), it was pure perfection! Our trailer came in perfect timing after the wedding, it allowed us to continue on with our wedding high. The final video came while we were on our honeymoon, and it was also amazing, glimpses into things we didn't see. These keepsakes are exactly what we wanted out of our special day. We have, and will continue to recommend NightOwl Media. A major shout out and thanks to Jaysin and his team! Thank you!!!

Our experience with AVS has been great. We only utilized their VHS services, but the owner, Matt,…read moremade it a smooth, enjoyable experience. The AVS website is easy to navigate and offers a variety of ways to get your VHS tapes to them, though we elected for drop-off/pick-up since we are reasonably close by. Matt was able to transfer about 15 irreplaceable home movies to DVD. He was also able to repair 5 of the tapes that we thought were beyond repair. Each DVD came numbered, had a personalized cover with a title, and was included in a hard case for storage. This was unexpected but very welcome. We did end up having a few minor quaility issues with a couple of the DVDs, but Matt courteously took them back and redid the movies. He was professional and respectful the entire time. I have to stress this point: AVS is the absolute most afforable VHS transfer and repair service I found in all of Northern Illinois. The rates are incredibly reasonable, especially compared to several way-overpriced competitors, and the product and service quality is great. I was happy to support a great small business, and I highly recommend AVS for your VHS transfer and/or repair needs.

Today, Matt dropped off our 30 year old wedding videos (vhs) that he converted to a flash drive (usb). It was awesome to step back in time.

From the start, Daniel made us feel completely at ease, which was so important to us. We wanted our photos to feel fun and candid, not overly posed, and the team really delivered on that. The photos and videos reflect the day exactly as it felt--dreamy, fun, and natural. We loved the whole crew's calm energy, and they were quick to adapt to whatever came up, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. The quality of the final photos and video exceeded our expectations, and we felt truly special working with them.

Wedding Video Review! Could not have nicer things to say…read moreabout WCP! My husband and I decided 4 months before our wedding to add video vendor services as most friends said it was their biggest regret to not have. WCP offers both photo and video packages but also different price points if you hire Sam/Katie or a Junior Associate. We loved that there was a value option for us to include video. Jamie was our Junior Associate. He came highly recommended by our wedding coordinator and I see why! His bubbly personality was a welcome addition day of to keep the energy high and make the documented moments feeling authentic and intentional. He went above and beyond with capturing drone footage and every wedding moment start to finish. After our big day, Sam edited our video to deliver a 2 minute teaser, 8 minute video capture, and provided us all raw footage. On top of this, they give couples the option to select songs. Our video was ready in about 6 weeks which was exactly in the middle of the proposed delivery timeline discussed. All email outreaches were responses to within 24 hours. They are simply good people to work with and were a great addition to our wedding vendor team! Tip: They offer a 5% discount with all cash payments.
