Videography is something that needs to be viewed as important as (if not more than) photography; if…read morepictures say a thousand words, then videos say that in a multiple of 100. My wife and I searched high and low for a vendor to complement our photographer and capture our May 2007 wedding. We found expensive ones with a lot of unnecessary bells and whistles and then we found John Rose. Our first meeting was in a MD chain restaurant. He reminded me of a car salesman who was learning the ropes. He was nervous and he was just starting his own business. However he brought a mini dvd player and showed us a sample dvd of his past weddings. He offered more affordable packages and a greater sense of photojournalism. My wife and I shopped around and thought that the other vendors did not fit our budget or style. We took a gamble on our man. I enjoyed working with him before, during and after the ceremony and reception. I don't remember saying more than 4 words to him and his team the entire night; he and the equipment were incognito. He also worked well with our photographer (sometimes vendors can "fight" for better shots). Our final product, received within 2.5 months, is a work of art, from the DVD case design to the chapter menus and footage. It's like watching a movie (not just Uncle Bob's raw footage). Although he is located in MD and serves primarily MD, DC and VA, he is willing to travel for a nominal fee. I would be willing to answer questions (PM me) and vouch for him. John Rose will also provide other references of past customers. I definitely recommend him. Thank God we found him. IFHTP 1

The most unprofessional experience I've ever encountered with a photgrapher…read more Paul is the sole photgrapher with this company. I will keep this simple and stick to the most recent points of interest for anyone considering using this company for their photography or videography needs. After negotiating an agreement for Paul to both record Video and Photograph an event in Washington DC, Paul dropped and broke his camera. He has held all photographs and video (it's been over a month now), demanding that we pay for his repairs. He sold packages at our event, and has with held these as well, deciding instead to attempt to illicit pressure from our clients to get us to pay for his carelessness in order to have what they have purchased released. Paul has threatened me for posting a negative review. However I do feel that people should be warned prior to using someone like this. There are so many quality photgraphers in the DMV that no one should have to subject themselves to someone who lacks integrity.

Absolutely amazing! Paul will make you feel super comfortable and make you laugh. Also, he really…read moreknows how to boosts a woman's confidence! I would definitely recommend him. You will feel simply beautiful!

Incredible, the one word that comes to mind when thinking about Dan. He was my officiant/DJ/photo…read morebooth , my cake cutter & a hell of a great friend to meet for the wedding. We were married September 12th and things couldn't have gone better. Mid pandemic we'd been petrified we'd lose our vendors and we didn't. Dan assured us that if we lost our venue they'd come DJ / Officiate & photo booth in our backyard! They were as determined as we were to have this wedding. The wedding day came and everything was flawless. Dan & Ray took care of our outdoor music for the reception- gave us queues to walk out to and then my (now) husband and I met Dan at the alter. He was our officiant and we loved every minute of the ceremony. He pronounced us married and it was the best. We then went for pictures and Dan & Ray introduced us in. , immediately after the ceremony we realized that our caterers were late and by "we" I mean Dan. He alerted my husband & MOH to keep me stress-less. The situation was rectified and we continued through the night. Dan checked on us multiple times through the night, offered to get us drinks. He even cut our cake. The music was incredible, the photo booth & personalized designs for our pictures were all amazing & flawless. I guess what I'm trying to say is, hiring Dan for your event is more than just hiring a DJ. It's hiring someone who cares about your event as much as you do, having an AMAZING time - I literally will not forget my wedding or any details. You'll have someone who wants things to run smooth and will consistently make sure you're happy with your event. Since Dan, my husband and I met- he's said don't stress, we'll make your day perfect and he did. We've gained a friend, damn near family after that day & I can't sing his praises enough.

They are, hands down, the top wedding and special events videography company working in the Baltimore/Washington/Virginia area, and their work speaks for itself. I can't say enough good things about this organization. Their staff is professional, unobtrusive and knows how and what to capture in terms of highlights of that special day. We were incredibly pleased with Jim's work. His prices are competitive and more than fair, especially considering the finished product. (Jim himself has a background in the Fine Arts, and has carefully passed that knowledge and experience to his staff.) Again, we were and continue to be absolutely thrilled with Black Tie Video, their sense of professionalism, respect and diligence in presenting their clients with an amazing finished product!

I am super late doing this review,…read morebut Chris absolutely rocked our wedding and we are still thinking about it over a year later!! I'm not exaggerating when I say family and friends still talk about how awesome he was and how much fun they had. Another DJ who was booked for our date actually recommended Chris and I immediately recognized his name from the radio thinking there was no way we could afford this famous DJ. He was super affordable and the packages he offered were comparable to others in the area. We met with Chris in person to go over the event and he was so sweet - we clearly didn't know what we wanted and he was super patient. Chris even gave us some sample timelines of other couples so we had something to copy. Our wedding was at Turf Valley and Chris was familiar with the venue, so he had some really good suggestions - he actually was the reason we extended the reception an extra hour, which we are so glad we did! Chris had 2 conference calls with us where we went through some key songs (father/daughter, first dance, etc.), but we just let him take the reigns on everything else and he absolutely KILLED IT! We used Chris before he had the photo booth and other services, but I'm sure those are top notch as well. I would (and do) recommend Chris to everyone! Anyone getting married or planning another type of party knows how stressful it can be and I didn't have to worry one bit about the music, Chris had it handled and made our day perfect.

Chris did an amazing job mixing in the songs we wanted along with reading the room and keeping the energy high. He even mixed in some amazing remixes and really blended songs together well. In the weeks after the wedding we have had friends and family still talking about how great the music was and how much they danced! We had high expectations from the glowing reviews and he absolutely blew them away. Chris also was a phenomenal MC. It was clear he had an organized process and seamlessly executed some special announcements as well. We would recommend Chris to anyone looking for a wedding DJ 10/10 times. He was extremely professional to work with and made us feel comfortable about the entire process. Hiring Chris Styles was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!!
