Great Videographer
Go to experience James’ work at my sisters wedding, and had to hire him for mine the following year. I love that he gives raw footage so you can see everything. He’s a one man team but he uses multiple camera to catch multiple angles, and he captured little things that otherwise would’ve been unnoticed. He was also very quick about sending us the footage. Great Value, Great Quality, Great Videographer. Thank you James!!James Ryan Films's reply:
Thank you, Jaqi! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave me such a kind review. If there's ever anything I can do for you and Drew, please don't hesitate to ask. I hope you enjoy the holidays together as newlyweds! -

James gets it done!
We loved having James film our wedding. For just one guy, he was everywhere! He is a raw footage only videographer but one of my sisters is a film director and agreed to edit our film as a wedding gift. We loved the idea, the cost and James did us right. He was a total pleasure to work with and got into the WeddingFest theme we had for our big day. I am happy to refer him!James Ryan Films's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Crystal! It truly was a pleasure working with you and Dain on one of the most joyful occasions of your lives. You two are very special people, as evidenced by the outpouring of love by your friends and family. I wish you only the very best. If there is ever anything else I can do for you, please let me know! -

James was exactly what we wanted and more
Looking for a videographer in the beginning was a little daunting. Most that provided editing and "movies" were very expensive and some charged extra for all of our footage. I feel lucky that we found James. He does no editing, but provides all the raw footage and at a reasonable price. You can also edit it yourself or pay someone to do so, but at least you will always have ALL of your footage. He met in-person and he gave us great vibes. He arrived at the wedding and he did not just have 1 camera, but 4. We ended up with lots of footage from multiple angles. He was running around filming everything for 8hrs. He worked hard and stayed kind and humble the entire time. He worked well with the photographers. He had nothing but kind words to say to us. When our footage was delivered it even came with a hand written letter. The videos were very high quality. Like we had our own movie production team. You will not regret hiring James.James Ryan Films's reply:
Wow, it makes my day to read this, James! Your gratitude and kind words mean so much. You and Rachel were truly a joy to work with. Thanks again for having me be a part of your amazing day!! -

kind and professional
James was professional and kind in all aspects of capturing our day. He filmed both our Sangeet/Rehearsal Dinner and wedding the following day and got us all the raw footage one week later. He captured so many happy little moments between our family and friends we didn't even know happened!! Thank you for being a pleasure to work with, James!James Ryan Films's reply:
Thanks so much for your kind words, Danny! It was truly a pleasure working with you and Trisha on such a special day in your lives. If there's ever anything you need, please don't hesitate to reach out :) -

AMAZING in every way!!
James is amazing! He is incredibly professional, kind and such a wonderful videographer!! We loved the fact that the film was unedited - it helped us see and hear things that we hadn't throughout the day. We had lots of laughs and "omg, I didn't know that happened" moments. We got the unedited film quickly in the mail and watched parts of our day over and over again. The video is high quality too of course :) we high recommend James!!James Ryan Films's reply:
Awww, thanks so much for your kind words, Ally! It was truly a pleasure working with you and Don. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and am so glad to hear you're having fun watching the video. Please don't hesitate to reach out if I can ever do anything else for you. Wishing you both all the very best! - James :) -

Exactly what we were looking for!
He was great to work with for our wedding! He was professional, his set up was impressive, and was quick to get us the raw video after the wedding. We had a larger wedding planned that went through a lot of changes during the pandemic and James took all those changes in stride. We would definitely recommend him! -

So many angles of our wedding day!
We are so happy we went with James for our wedding videography! It has been so much fun looking through all the footage of moments that we didn't see and multiple angles of our ceremony and reception. James was great to work with, so nice, and literally filmed every thing on our wedding day! I didn't see videography as a must have item because I was so used to seeing the short 5 minute clips that have become popular, however there were so many moments during the night where I thought "I'm so glad this is on video!". We love that we have all the raw footage, so we will be able to pick and choose what we want to go in our final wedding video and put it together ourselves. Would definitely recommend James if you are looking for a documentation type of videographer, and then you can make your video what you really want! Thanks so much, James!James Ryan Films's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Ashley! It was truly a pleasure working with you and Aaron. If you need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out. Again, I wish you both a lifetime of health and happiness! -

Great Videographer!
James was a pleasure to work with for our Wedding! He captured all of the angles of our wedding and everything that we wanted. We have all of the footage to re-live our special day and that is exactly what we were looking for. We received the footage very quickly in the mail along with a handwritten thank you card. -

Friendly and professional!
I didn't even plan on having a videographer at my wedding on June 22, but my parents wanted it and found James. And honestly, I was shocked by how much I genuinely enjoyed having him there, and how many times throughout the night I thought 'I'm so glad this is on video.'
James was VERY friendly and professional. I heard him talking to the photographers to work out the best way for them to cover the event, and he was always around but never in the way. I will say--if you're not used to cameras, it does feel a little funny at first! My husband joked that when dances/toasts first started, he felt like we were hosting a press conference. But the cameras fade into the background very quickly, and James was actively managing them (moving things around so nothing was ever in the way, monitoring the dancing for anything that would make a good shot). He will make sure to ask the bride/groom on camera about anything special you are wearing (I had a handkerchief made from my mother's wedding dress), which I thought was really nice. He will also tactfully step in and out of the getting ready area so that he captures some of the hustle and bustle but isn't in the room when you're trying to get into your dress. That wasn't something I had thought about ahead of time, so I was glad James knew what he was doing!
I'm excited to get our uncut footage--I can't wait to play with it.James Ryan Films's reply:
Wow, thank you so much, Katherine! Reading this makes my day :) It was truly a pleasure working with you and Richard, seeing you surrounded by your loved ones and sensing how much you love another. It's weddings like yours that make me feel especially lucky to do what I do. Again, thank you so very much for your kind words and for having me be a part of your wonderful day! -

Professional Videographer
James was such a joy to work with at our wedding. We knew from the first time that we spoke on the phone that James was exactly who we needed to capture our big day. He was professional, friendly, and met all of our needs. We hope to work with him again in the future.James Ryan Films's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Jazmin! It was truly a pleasure working with you and Maury. I feel lucky to have been able to share in such a joyous occasion with such wonderful people. Thank you again and if you need anything, don't ever hesitate to reach out :) -

Amazing, fun, laidback
James was an absolutely amazing videographer and he captured absolutely every single moment that we could have asked for and then some. He is extremely laid-back and fun and easy to talk to and made us really comfortable in front of the camera. He is really great and wonderful one I definitely recommend him to anyone who is having a wedding or an event that they would like to have captured and look at for the rest of their lives. I'm telling you it is worth it and he is absolutely amazing and his work is phenomenal.James Ryan Films's reply:
Wow, Arizona! I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful review. Thank you so much for your kind words. It was such a pleasure to work with you and John. It was really touching to see how much you love one another and what a great fit you make. I wish you all the happiness in the years ahead! -

We looked for a videographer a couple of weeks before my daughter's wedding; she was having some beautiful music during the wedding Mass, and we wanted to record. it. We contacted James Ryan Films, and were delighted at his services and rates - raw video was exactly what we were looking for. I was very pleased that he worked to make quality videography affordable. (Our rate included a travel fee - he traveled about 3 hours for our event, so the fee was very reasonable. He did a most professional job at both the Mass and the reception - we actually had him stay an extra hour, for a total of 5 hours. He delivered the video promptly after the wedding. I would recommend this vendor without hesitation.James Ryan Films's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Terry! I was truly a pleasure working with you, Mary Jo, Sharon and William. You're very lucky to have such a wonderful daughter and son-in-law. I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed being part of your day :) -

James was absolutely wonderful to work with! He is so professional and makes you feel comfortable in front of a camera. It’s a weird thing to have a camera on you all day but James was very discrete and made sure to keep us updated while working with the photographers schedule. His price is great, especially with all the running around he did for 9+ hours! James was also kind enough to unexpectedly extend his hours (my husband had a surprise horse drawn carriage at the end of the night and asked James if he could extend his time to capture it) - definitely worth the extra time! We received our films very quickly about a week or so after the wedding. I highly recommend James Ryan Films - especially if you’re trying to stay within your budget or if you are a DIY bride who can do your own editing! -

I could not have been more pleased with my decision to use James to video our big day. He was extremely professional throughout the day, managing multiple cameras and microphones with no problem. James was able to work with our budget to provide us with some great footage and wonderful memories. The biggest surprise was coming home from our honeymoon 9 days after the wedding and our wedding video was waiting for us upon our return. It doesn't get much better than that! -

James was wonderful! He was kind and professional to work with leading up to the wedding, and he was phenomenal on the big day! He was in tune with everything that was going on and really got a ton of footage for us. His services are well-priced, and the flexibility of raw footage is perfect for us. We got the footage in the mail very quickly and we were so excited to see all the footage and different points of view he captured. Truly great - thank you, James!! -

James was absolutely wonderful. I so appreciated his coming all the way down to Charlotte for us. We got our footage back so quickly and had the BEST time watching it! The whole day was such a whirlwind, so watching the footage helped us remember things we had completely forgotten about. There were things caught on film that are truly priceless and we will treasure it forever.
As soon as I saw James's website I knew he was exactly what I had in mind for my day! Thank you for everything! -

James was absolutely amazing from start to finish through the entire wedding planning and day-of execution. He delivered on all promises and exceeded all our expectations on our wedding day. As a bride who had plenty on my plate the day of the wedding, James took control of everything on his end so that I could really enjoy my day and be present with my family and friends. I cannot recommend him enough!James Ryan Films's reply:

Our non profit reached out to James on short notice to have a medical class the we were teaching to be recorded. He couldn't have been more accommodating or easier to work with. He was at the event early, stayed later then he needed to and delivered an amazing quality product.James Ryan Films's reply:

I can't say enough about how impressed we were with James. We called him last minute, just one week from our wedding day, as a shot in the dark -- and he was available! He was the only videographer out of 10-15 calls that I made who responded to me the same day. Not only that, but he drove a significant way to be there for us on our Saturday wedding, even though he was scheduled for another wedding the next day (and the modest travel stipend he asked for was well worth having him). The professionalism, quick responsiveness, flexibility, and friendly demeanor of this videographer was more than we could have hoped for. We haven't viewed our footage yet, but if it's any reflection of James' work ethic and passion we know it will be top-notch. Thank you James for adding so much to our wedding memories! We can't wait to see the raw footage. We highly, highly recommend. -

James was amazing! As the bride I wanted to see behind-the-scenes details and all the little moments of my day. James made that possible. I had a lot of kids and babies at my wedding and he captured so many precious moments. I loved how he was every where but very discreet. Very happy with his work! -
