Andrew and Emily are hands down the nicest people that you willl work with in the wedding Industry. I had such a great time working with them throught the entire wedding process. Even after the wedding we remain friends. I know that they love what they do and are genuinly interested in you and your significant other as a couple and it comes out in their work. I've seen lots of other wedding videos and none of them compair to what Andrew and Emily put together for us. From the engagment video to the Same day edit me my wife and our guests were all stunned by the work that they did. Take a trip over to their site and watch any of the videos online and read the storys that Andrew and Emily write and you can witness their craft for yourself. I cant wait to see our final full length wedding Motion Picture. We've been married for less than 2 weeks and I've watched that same day edit over 100 times!!!!!!!
Thanks again for everything that both of you did!!!!
Sincerely,

Josh

When we began our wedding planning process, we had decided that we did not think it was necessary to have a videographer, but after stumbling upon Honey & Dear, we knew that this is what we needed to capture our day. We instantly fell in love with the videos that we previewed on their website, and were not disappointed with the edit of our wedding.

Andrew and Emily were both very professional, and made sure that we were happy and comfortable with everything that they shot. They made sure that everything was captured, and were two very lovely people to deal with. I would definitely recommend them to anyone getting married, and based on the wonderful response from all of our family and friends, they too agree that having video at the wedding is a must.

Before stumbling onto Honey and Dear's website late in the planning process, I was convinced that having our wedding filmed would be cheesy and unnecessary.... you have no idea how wrong I was and how happy I am to have had them there on our special day!! Folks, this is not your typical 1990s wedding video with someone pressing record at the beginning of the day and stop at the end - it really is a short film that is created by amazing talent and is edited to perfection. The product that Honey & Dear delivered to us captures so much more emotion and takes me back to that day much more than any photo could do. Andrew and Emily were amazing to work with - they take the time to get to know their couples before the big day, and then when that day comes, they are literally flies on the wall - their style is completely non-intrusive and I did not even notice that they were there (in a good way!). I am so glad that I finally listened to the advice of friends and family who were already married and regretted not having their day filmed... you spend so much time planning and anticipating it, and then it goes by so quick. Hire Honey and Dear to film your wedding... they are among the best in the business (THE best, in my humble opinion!) and will not disappoint. Deciding to have Honey & Dear film our wedding was, hands down, the best decision my husband and I made to preserve the memories of our special day : )

Andrew and Emily produced a same-day-edit for us that was beyond all our expectations. We have watched it again and again, and it has been such a wonderful way to help us, our friends and our family to relive the day.

We live in the UK but Andrew and Emily were great at keeping in touch over Skype and emails. We never doubted their ability to produce something that reflected us as a couple because they really took the time to get to know us. That relationship, as well as Andrew and Emily's easygoing personalities, helped us to feel comfortable with being filmed on the day. It has to be said that Andrew also has a special knack for diffusing stressful situations - he offered sun screen when I was worried about burning during our scorching hot ceremony, and even offered to contact a tailor he knew after the bottom of my dress got a slight tear!

The quality of their work speaks for itself, but what makes Honey and Dear a cut above the rest is their attention to detail, their fun and relaxed approach, and their ability to translate the personalities of their clients into beautiful film. We are so glad they filmed our wedding and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone else.

We booked Honey and Dear early on in our engagement, almost a year and a half before our wedding date. We booked them before we had even chosen a photographer or DJ because we absolutely loved what we saw on their website and knew we had to have them capture our wedding in that special way that they do. We had also met Andrew and Emily briefly at a bridal open house and they were so nice and down-to-earth, and genuinely enjoyed our engagement story, as silly as it was.

As wedding planning excitement turned into wedding planning stress, we started to have doubts about some of the decisions we had made as our budget was being stretched to its limit. But in the end, Honey and Dear delivered a product that you can't put a price on. The Same Day Edit they created for us highlighted such great moments and really captured the emotions of the day. We absolutely loved it. So many of our guests came up to us afterwards saying how amazed they were at how quickly and skillfully the Same Day Edit was created. They all loved it.

We are a soft-spoken couple and are a little camera-shy, but Andrew, Emily and Rich definitely made us feel comfortable throughout the whole day. We often didn't even realize they were filming! On top of that, they were constantly asking us if we needed help with anything, which was really nice.

To echo many of the previous reviews, Andrew and Emily really know how to capture the important moments of the day. Because we aren't used to seeing ourselves on film, it was a little nerve-racking to watch ourselves on a giant screen, saying our vows, but the more we re-watch the video (which we have done a lot with family and friends), the more we appreciate how Honey and Dear emphasized what is truly the most important moment of the day.

For any of you on the fence about going with Honey and Dear.. just do it!! You won't regret it :)

Andrew, Emily and Rich - thank you so much for giving us a gift that we will cherish forever!

At first, we were unsure as to whether or not we were going to hire a videographer for our wedding, but it ended up being the BEST decision we made. Andrew and Emily did a remarkable job of capturing the most important moments of our day. We are so impressed by the quality of our film as well as how it was all pieced together to tell the story of our wedding day.
It is sad to think about how many moments would've been lost without the footage they captured. With the excitement of the day, it really is difficult to take everything in. Our film allowed us to recall many of the kind words that were shared at our reception and gave us the opportunity to see the joy of each other getting ready with our respective family and friends.
After viewing our film, our family and friends have ALL said, it is the most amazing film they've ever seen. Those who did not video their wedding also expressed regret.
We cannot say enough kind words about Emily and Andrew. They are professional, friendly, and have the most amazing ability to capture your day without you even knowing they are there!!
We are so grateful we decided to hire Honey and Dear!! Thanks Emily and Andrew. Your work is priceless.

Honey and Dear are simply superb. Andrew and Emily are both amazing people, down to earth, friendly and more importantly professional. Hiring Honey and Dear was one of the best wedding decisions we made. The same day edit they created for us was truly magical and something will treasure for years to come. It captured the emotion of the day with such style, flow and grace. Our guests were completely blown away by our SDE, I know many have confessed they enjoy viewing it multiple of times on H&D’s blog.

Andrew & Emily, you both are amazingly talented modern day story tellers. Thank you to creating Mariusz and I a beautiful memento of our love, it is something I know our future children will treasure

Emily & Andrew are from Barrie; we're from London. We had great intentions to meet up before the wedding but it wasn't meant to be; we all lead pretty crazy lives it seems. We ended up meeting them both, for the first time, the day of the wedding! They were amazing! They guided, offered tips and supported us throughout the day. They were with us the whole day; sneakily filming not only the key moments but the way we held hands, had mishaps, sneaked in kisses, held each other. The elements that exemplify true love between two people. Andrew even buffaloed Mike at the Church because he was too serious and we needed him to smile. Emily showed me a little clip of the squirrel that attended our wedding to make me chuckle. It was like having the wedding filmed by close friends. And the most incredible moment happened at the end of their filming. Through their amazing skills we were able to take a moment and truly take in the day and its happenings. Mike and I got to see each other get ready, hear the words we had for each other prior to the ceremony, see the reaction to opening each others wedding gifts; we got to see both sides! It was the most perfect end to the night. The video encompassed us wholly and the love that we have for one another. We were in tears from true happiness and will be playing the same day edit on repeat throughout the coming days/months/years. We cannot thank Andrew and Emily enough! Their work speaks for itself and they truly are the most wonderful people to work with!

To say Honey and Dear is anything short of exceptional would be a disservice to this dynamic husband and wife pairing. From our first meet and greet dinner, right up to our wedding, Andrew and Emily made the whole process seamless and went above and beyond to accommodate my wife and I. They are two of the nicest, most caring people we've met who genuinely love their work and are committed to helping you out in whatever way they can; so many of our guests and wedding party commented on how fantastic they were.

Our Same Day Edit was perfect and captured all the subtleties, nuances and magic of our wedding day that even we missed/forgot; it brought tears to everyone at the wedding and we watch it incessantly still. My wife and I are so excited for our full-length featured film! Thank you Andrew and Emily for instilling and encapsulating our special day on film; we're so excited to share and relive these precious moments with our family and friends.

Hiring Honey and Dear was hands-down the best decision my wife and I have made. We will definitely by referring them to our family and friends. If you are getting married, YOU NEED TO HIRE HONEY AND DEAR, NO IFS AND/OR BUTS!!!

Honey and Dear were so amazing. We couldnt have ask for two better people to share our day with. Their work is just amazing, and they get so many shots without you even realizing they are shooting. Everyone at our wedding was amazed by the same day edit and we loved that it was posted online so quickly. We watched it many times while on our honeymoon. It is such a great keepsake to remember your day by. Our feature was just as amazing and we have watched it and showed it off many times. One thing i was very excited about when getting my dvd was watching the ceremony and the speeches. The day went by so fast it was great to go back and take it all in.

Andrew and Emily were very professional and friendly. We have enjoyed chatting with them over some steak and wine which made the process of deciding all of the details stress-free.

I would recommend them to anyone without any hesitation.

I often find that when I receive 100% on a review or when I receive criticism that has no comments that are critical, I question the quality of the assessment.

This is not the case with the service or quality that Honey and Dear provide. Across the board, having Andrew and Emily be a part of our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. They were very discrete the entire day while filming; our guests hardly noticed their presence and were in no way distracted by them. They are both funny, energetic, reassuring, and we had a a lot of fun spending the day with them.

Our guests were all blown away by the same day edit they showed at the reception. We received innumerable positive comments about how it was so personal, funny, and how they perfectly captured our big day. Honey and Dear do not merely film the day as videographers, but create a film that shows the story and feeling of the day; they truly are cinematographers.

They are transparent about what they provide, which honestly goes way beyond filming. They are well seasoned, and as such, are able to provide beneficial advice for numerous situations.

They do a wonderful job getting to know their clients, and express genuine enthusiasm for your wedding. Honey and Dear are a team and masters of presenting the perspective of both the Bride and the Groom.

They pour themselves into their work, and their passion is evident in the quality of their product. My Bride and I are so happy to not only have chosen them, but to have been able to get to know them as well. If you have the chance, do yourself a favour and let them be involved in your wedding.

Thank you Andrew and Emily,

Krist & Christina Hayes

I work in the television industry, so one of the things I was most picky about when planning our wedding was the videography. Andrew & Emily didn't just meet my expectations - they blew them out of the water. They are amazingly talented film makers who will capture every moment of your special day in the most beautiful and natural way possible. They are incredibly professional and helpful. Even the "jaded TV people" in attendance at our wedding haven't stopped talking about the Same Day Edit...and it takes a lot to impress them! THank you so mcuh Andrew & Emily, you helped make our wedding day unforgettable.

We asked Emily and Andrew to come to our destination wedding in Punta Cana after they did a same day edit for my sister's wedding in June of 2011. We were blown away then, and just as equally astounded by the results of our film. Aside from giving us the most amazing memories of our wedding on film, they were there to help guide and support us through the stressful process that is "the wedding day". Had it not been for these two, the day would not have turned out half as well as it did.

It was a pleasure to spend our wedding week with such professional but fun people who we trusted completely with our memories :-)

What could make the perfect day even better?
A same day edit from Honey and Dear.
I have to admit that, initially I was against the idea of hiring a Videographer, as expenses were mounting in the early part of planning our wedding.
With a few phone calls and a brief face to face, Andrew and Emily
somehow figured Ashlee and I out.
They hit every mark (in so far as what was important to Ashlee and I).
Everyone present (and those who later viewed the same day edit online) were
blown away. They really captured the spirit of our day.
The camera work, editing and colour timing were exceptional.
Andrew and Emily were completely non-intrusive and really went with the flow of
the day.
Thanks so much for providing us with a motion picture memory of our wedding,
that we will watch over and over again.

I'm glad I didn't cheap out.

Rating the quality of work that Emily and Andrew (and their super interns) did for us was easy, 12 out of 10. What they brought to our wedding however was more than a finished product, it was the intangible assets the couple possess as people. They became friends, who were calming and professional in a very supportive way. By being great people first, who genuinely cared, we were able to relax and be ourselves, only making Honey and Dear's final product that much better.

Of course, we were blown away by the final product which was a huge hit at the wedding and long after. They got our same day edit up quickly onto the internet so we could continue sharing with friends shortly after the wedding. This hard work made it so much fun for us an friends - in such a short timeline.

They don't just make a video for you, they make the day great and make incredibly artistic long lasting memories that frankly, are cooler than anything else out there. We encourage anyone a thousand times over to see what Honey and Dear can do.
