We can't imagine having entrusted our special day to anyone else!

At first, we didn't think we were going to "need" a videographer to capture our wedding. We'd figured that our friends' cell phone footage would fill in gaps between the photographer's stills. Our wedding planner strongly recommended that we rethink our strategy, and suggested First Day Films as her first choice.

John Miller and his team at First Day Films were/are PHENOMENAL from the first phone call!!! John spoke with us ahead of time about what was most important to us and recommended one of their packages (there are a few, depending on your budget and how much you want recorded), and then, a few weeks prior to the big day, sent us a form to fill out and list what moments we wanted to make sure they captured -- particularly if there were any that weren't standard, including if there were going to be any "surprises" that they should be ready to record.

On the wedding day, they were on time and unobtrusive, but seemingly EVERYWHERE, based on the final product. From the "getting ready" to the "first look", through the ceremony, itself (even taking some candid footage of our guests watching), and - of course - the dance floor, toasts and cake-cutting, John and his team mined GOLD. As we watched our video for the first time, my husband and I got choked up as we relived all the wonderful moments, and we kept remarking to each other how beautifully First Day Films captured everything! Even the packaging of the thumb drive we received was first class!

If you want to ensure you will be able to relive your beautiful wedding memories for the rest of your lives (and share them with people who could -- or couldn't -- attend), save yourself time and just call First Day Films. You will be VERY glad you did!!

The best to work with!!!

We couldn't be happier with our decision to work with John and First Day Films for capturing our wedding. Not only is John such a pleasure to work with, but we were so incredibly thrilled with the end result we received. John was so helpful and great to work with since the day we hired First Day Films and we hardly even knew they were there on our wedding day, yet they captured all the perfect moments. Thank you thank you!!!

So great to work with!

John and his team are a true pleasure to work with. They pay attention to what matters most to you and then deliver videos that really highlight those moments. We are so happy with how everything turned out--our videos are a perfect reflection of our wedding day!

John is always a pleasure to work with. I never hesitate to recommend First Day Films to my clients. He is very friendly and works in a very unobtrusive manner all the while capturing all the special moments without you knowing he's there. If you are unsure about having a videographer at your wedding, you'll change your mind once you meet John and see his work. Sarma Ozols Sarma & Co. Photography

I can't say enough good things about John Miller Videography. He is the first on my list of recommended Videographers. He approaches the day unobtrusively and is able to catch every moment while it unfolds which allows me as a photographer to do the same. His final product is clean, natural, and absolutely stunning!
