Ryan is great! Makes you feel at ease, and is nice & fun to work with. Very easy to get along with. It is all a little on the more spendy side, but worth every penny!! You are paying for top quality! I didn't want to spare any expense on the video of our wedding day. With this video I can go back and cherish that special day forever!

Ryan and Gary with Focal Point and some of the sweetest people I have ever met. They truly cared about how our wedding turned out and wanted to capture every detail. They are very detail orientated and made our guests feel at ease. To be honest, I even forgot that they were there with us they were so unobtrusive. I would highly recommend them to my friends, in fact, I even introduced them to a bride the day of the wedding so she can use them too! I just can't wait to see the footage!

Wow! What can I say about Ryan...He truly is the best in the Portland metro area in his field...We met with many different videographers...Who were considered top in this field, but as soon as we met with Ryan (which turned out to be our final meeting) we were instantly hooked...He truly has a talent for capturing emotion like no other person. I would say don't let the fact that he is in Salem throw you off! Go see him at his studio! It will be well worth it to view his movies (they truly are movies!) in his studio on the big screen! His trailers the week after your event are also the most fabulous thing ever! The day goes by so fast and somewhat like a whirlwind! Its hard to consintrate on anything in particular, but to have that small amount of video so soon is amazing!

Ryan is a hardworking individual. I appreciated his focus on capturing as much of our wedding day as possible. He was great to work with and made sure to understand our itinerary for the day and sought our opinion on how he could best fit in. He has a great deal of experience and was present with various cameras for all the important moments in an unobtrusive way.
The finished DVD of our wedding came out great; Ryan's editing skills and creativity with music effects and transitions were are excellent. The DVD contains some tightly edited scenes as well as some longer takes of dancing and various activities during the evening. The picture and sound quality are top notch and the video is certainly a treasure to my wife and me.
Thanks Ryan!

Hiring Ryan & Gary for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! As a bridal consultant, and having worked with Focal Point in the past, I knew as soon as I was engaged that they had to shoot our wedding. Thankfully they were available and we immediately booked! Not only are they two of the nicest guys in the wedding industry, they are equally talented and offer superior videography. In addition to our wedding video we had Ryan shoot our Love Story several months earlier and he did a phenomenal job of adding extra touches so that the final product was exactly what we envisioned and our guests loved the slideshow that we presented during dinner. We cannot wait to see our video this spring and know it will be amazing! I am excited to continue referring Focal Point to my clients knowing they will be thrilled with the entire experience.

Ryan and his team were so much to work with! They were the only guys that offered to give us all the raw footage of our wedding so my younger brother could edit. What was most impressive were their creative ideas and willingness to incorporate our plans into the video. Although they didn't edit any of the footage, Ryan and his team still were professional and shot the entire wedding as if it were theirs to edit! We appreciated their willingness to meet with us and flexibility on many occasions! Thanks guys!

Focal Point Digital Media is the ONLY videography studio that I would trust with my wedding. Simply put, they love weddings and they love capturing weddings! I always felt like the most important bride in the world when I was with them (even though I know they had many other brides they were working with at the same time). They were so organized, professional, supportive, and talented. They also filmed my sisters wedding two years ago, and everyone who sees the video starts bawling with happiness. It is hilarious, but feels SO good to know your wedding was captured so perfectly and beautifully, even grown men cry when they watch it! They are the best!

Wow! Let me begin by saying I was so amazed sitting and watching our video the first time I probably watched it 5 times in a row. We could not ask for anything more. The video captured our day and moments we didn't see. You will not find a better team to capture one of the most amazing days of your life! I felt totally comfortable the entire time and this is one thing you should spend the money on. After the tears of joy cleared up we shared the video with family and they were all in tears and smiles. We would not change a thing. Thankyou so much Dan and Ryan!

Ryan was amazing! He captured our wedding without disturbing the event. The video is perfect. We especially LOVED the preview. We actually got to watch it on our honeymoon which was super cool. We both totally cried. I can't imagine a better video! Ryan was also really sweet on the wedding day and made us feel very comfortable. zOur first dance ended with our guests showering us in rose petals and Ryan caught the moment perfectly!

Ryan at Focal Point was FANTASTIC! Ryan and his assistant were unobtrusive, professional and really made our video feel special. There are videographers that charge less buy no one we looked at could compare to Ryan's skill editing the final product (and we looked in Vancouver, Portland and Salem). He spent a lot of time with us before the wedding to make sure he captured the aspects of our day that were most important to us. Our first two dances were the most important items we wanted to capture and if you could see the video... Oh my gosh! It makes my heart race just to think about it, and I'm the groom! He made us look better than we ever thought we could look and the finished product was fantastic.

Working with Ryan and Focal Point was the BEST experience! We are so happy we decided to contact Ryan. Our video is amazing and worthy every single penny. This was the BEST purchase of the ENTIRE wedding, and we are amazed at the quality and emotion that shows though. Everytime we watch, we laugh, cry, and giggle with a smile from ear to ear.
Ryan made us feel completely comfortable while filming, and he captured every moment that touched our hearts. I would recommend Focal Point Digital Media again and again. PERFECT!! Thank you so much for giving us a gift that will last a lifetime. You are wonderful!!!

My husband and I are thrilled with our wedding videography! It allowed us to experience the emotions and the memories of the day all over again. We both feel that it was the best money we spent and would even recommend it over photography, if one had to choose between the two. Ryan was professional and fun to work with! We can't put into words how happy we are with the final product. It will be something we can show our kids in years to come!

Ryan and his crew are absolute genius. First of all, when we first met ~ Ryan listened to everything I had to say, whether it was relevant or not! He was so patient. Then during the wedding, I barely noticed that they were there. You know how some photographers just have that "thing" where you don't even notice them? Well, there were 3 guys with video cameras, and they had that "thing." Unbelievable.

I wanted a video of the wedding, because I thought it would be fun to have something to look back at, but I had no idea it was going to be so amazing. They captured everything. EVERYTHING. I don't know how else to say this, but they did a perfect job. They were the nicest guys in the world, and did an absolute perfect job with everything. It is worth every dime! Do yourself a favor and hire these guys! Oh hey, and ladies.. he made it so that I NEVER looked bad in any shot. Now that takes talent!

Ryan has been blessed with a gift in videography! He did an INCREDIBLE job on our wedding!!!! He is very down to earth, not intimidating at all, and very easy to work with. His attention to detail was obvious in our final product which is absolutely AMAZING; I can't emphasize this enough. I have to say I was nervous about what the video might look like, not because of Ryan’s abilities but because some of the details didn’t come out right in the decor and how I thought I would look ;). However, NO WORRIES!!!, he camouflaged all details that weren’t just right. If you don't hire Focal Point Digital Media to take care of your special day, you will definitely regret it. I'm soooooooooo glad we did!!! We almost went with someone else, but what a mistake that would have been! (If this was live you would hear me squeal with glee :)) Thank you so much Ryan! You rock!

We loved Ryan from the beginning, but after receiving our wedding video, we realized how priceless our investment really was. The quality of his work is above and beyond anyone else in this area, and his customer service has been absolutely amazing. When it comes to sharing the day with those who couldn't be there, there is no match for the video. I honestly can't recommend him enough!
