    Ken did such a fantastic job of capturing our wedding, I can't recommend his services enough! I was initially unsure if I wanted to have a videographer but decided to go for it. Ken met with us before the wedding and walked us through different ideas and asked us questions about what we wanted.
    The day of the wedding was hectic and emotional and Ken worked seamlessly with our wedding photographer to capture all of the beautiful moments that I didn't remember! One of the things I loved about Ken was that he wasn't intrusive and we didn't feel like we were followed by paparazzi all day! My husband and I both cried when we watched our video for the first time and we are so happy that we have these memories forever!
    Ken was the perfect choice to capture our special day - one of my favorite things about our wedding video were the great shots he got with the drone - very unique and unexpected!

    After extensive research of videographers for our wedding, it became very apparent that there was a vast difference in the quality produced by different vendors. My best friend had chosen Ken from Moving Memories - Media 59 for her wedding because she was getting married locally in Healdsburg. I remembered Ken being really great on her wedding day and she was extremely happy working with him. Once I watched her video, there was no comparison. I told my fiancé, if we were going to have a video, we needed Ken. I was nervous that our location was too far to travel (Edgewood, Lake Tahoe) but luckily for us, Ken travels for destination weddings. We ended up hiring Ken for our entire wedding weekend and it was the best decision we ever made. He not only captured the wedding day, but also the rehearsal dinner, lead-up AND set up a video guestbook during our wedding (this is a MUST). Having ALL of those memories (not just the wedding day) to relive in a video is priceless!

    Ken & his crew made the wedding day totally stress-free. They worked so fantastically well with how I had planned the day and the ease of communication with my photographer was unbelievable. Ken had some amazing ideas for shots & we were so happy he was directing because with so much going on you need to have someone with an eye & vision. When we received the final product, we were speechless. The way Ken captured the weekend and told our story was nothing short of amazing. The beauty of our film brings everyone to tears! And when we watched our video guestbook, we couldn't stop laughing! We absolutely loved the entire process and can certainly say choosing Ken was the best decision we made!

    Our "trailer" & "highlights" wedding videos are currently (summer 2017) on Ken's website: http://media59.com/

    I met Ken at a wedding show and instantly thought he would be a great fit to be the videographer for our wedding day. He has genuine kindness and excitement, and brings positive energy to the day. He even went to our venue to check it out before the big day. He came to the rehearsal dinner and set-up a video booth for people to leave us messages. He had fun ideas to make for great videos for the day of. And the final result was spectacular! The wedding video was a great mixture of our vows and the day. We also got a USB with all the speeches and the rehearsal video. He is also reasonable in price. I'm so happy we chose Media59 and would 100% make the choice again!

    Ken & Moving Memories were fantastic at our wedding! I wasn't sure if I could afford a videographer, but they have very sensible prices. After the wedding, when everyone left, I was comforted knowing that I had videos of all my loved ones and could watch it any time. One of his additional services is a video booth so that everyone can leave sweet messages for you to see later - I like this a lot more than a photobooth. Ken was very professional and knew my wedding schedule better than I did. At the reception I was so overwhelmed, and just having a good time, that I almost left to take photos right when cake cutting was supposed to happen. Luckily Ken was there and reminded me, so I didn't end up missing my own wedding! He also has great suggestions throughout the day - such as where best to stand for photos or for the guests to see us cutting the cake. I really see a big difference in the photos & video with all of his suggestions.

    I really think a videographer is one of those things you may regret not doing, and Ken is amazing at what he does. We got the finished video a lot faster than I expected and I am able to send it to all my loved ones that could not afford the trip. It's really meaningful to be able to share that day with them. If you have relatives that can't make it, maybe grandparents who are bed ridden, consider a videographer so that you can share the day with them. Ken is very professional, knows what he is doing, and is one of the nicest vendors out there. You'll be happy you booked him!

    Ken Sipes with media59.com was absolutely amazing! We were married in Napa, California at the Mario Andretti Winery in April, 2016. Ken made a point to communicate with me while I was in the planning process of our elopement schedule and made me feel very much at ease during the process of pulling it all together. He spent the day with us quietly capturing every incredible moment as we enjoyed our most special day. Hiring a videographer was a last minute decision and the choice was made because we wanted family unable to attend to be able to enjoy our wedding as well. I can say this is the best money I have ever spent!! We purchased a highlight film, and Ken did such a great job with it. He included our ceremony along with music and special moments between myself and my now husband throughout our elopement day.
    Don't just get the photographer, make sure to add on a videographer for your event!! YOU WILL BE SO THANKFUL YOU DID THIS. Photos are awesome and you will keep forever, but video allows so much more to the recollection of your day and helps to bring back all of those incredible feelings you experienced in each moment. If I could give Ken a 10 I would, but the recommendation only goes to 5 ;-)

    Videography was one of the last things that I got for my wedding. And I am so happy that I didn't skip out on it. Ken was extremely flexible with the package that I arranged. He was very easy to work with from the start. Ken was on time to my wedding venue and he was able to capture all of the moments. Our wedding ceremony video was beautiful and he even managed to capture our conversation walking away from the wedding ceremony. The highlight video is amazing and put together so well. Honestly, it made me cry again to watch our wedding (and it probably will keep on happening).

    My husband and I are so happy how our video turned out. Ken knew exactly what we wanted and was professional and friendly every step of the way. He captured every moment and put everything together beautifully!

    We watch our video all the time and so happy we decided to make this investment!

    When we were planning our wedding, my husband and I didn't feel like we had enough room in our budget to add a videographer, especially one whom possessed extreme talent. We were about to give up on having a videographer altogether, until we came across Ken's website. We were blown away by the quality of his work and were able to see some of his work through his website. He even agreed to meet with us in our city, quite the trek for him, in order to get to know him and for him to get to know us. As soon as we began talking, we knew we had found someone that possessed true talent and who's passion burned brightly through his personality and his work.The day of our wedding, like most couples will tell you, flew by like a blur. Ken was there every step of the way. He came to the hotel where all the girls and myself were getting ready and then drove to the boys hotel to capture their morning. This because one of my favorite parts in our video because there is such a difference for what girls go through the morning of the wedding and what guys do the morning of the wedding. Ken went to the venue early and staged 3 separate cameras to capture all angles of our happily ever after. The way that he overlaid each shot with the audio and added music was beautiful. There wasn't one moment that he didn't catch, and he seemed to be almost invisible in the process. I didn't even feel like I was being videotaped, he was amazing! I was concerned about having a camera in our face and ken made us feel so comfortable; we aren't one for the spotlight. If you want your memories to last a lifetime, you will not go wrong with hiring Ken. We have watched our video so many times and cannot get enough. Not only did he give us all the raw footage, literally a week after our wedding, but he edited a full wedding video, a high light video and a sneak peek video. we are beyond happy with his work and he truly has a talent for this.

    Ken was great to work with for our wedding! He was a pleasure the day of the wedding, was present but not intrusive... we never knew he was there. He has had a very quick turn around time with our video and we even ended up opting for the full-length feature :)

    We originally weren't planning on having a videographer for our wedding but then we were at the winery (wedding site) the weekend before double checking everything and met Ken. He was was sitting up for another wedding. He had three cameras/videotape machines set up separately on tripods since he films the entire event by himself. It was cool seeing how he could capture so many angles of the wedding as a one man show. I think because of that his price is really reasonable. We decided to hire him ... all this one week before our wedding. The final product is awesome and my mom watches it all the time. Thank you Ken!

    Ken really did a fabulous videography for our wedding. He is very professional, trustworthy and dependable. We had a destination wedding and found him online.
    We only met him on the day itself and were pleasantly surprised how got everything together in such a short notice. We are so happy with the final video as we watched all the emotions and candidness that he captured on this special event.

    I simply cannot say enough about the wonderful job that Ken did for our wedding. He went above and beyond what I thought was going to get with the video. He was always professional, on time and listened to what we were looking for. He was one of the first people there and one of the last to leave, ensuring that he caught all of the most special moments. I will treasure the video forever. The decision to go with him is really a no brainer. Thank you!!!!!

    We were not planning on getting a videographer until one of our friends highly recommended it and so we had to scramble at the 11th hour. Weeks and months after the wedding, we couldn't imagine not having these videos. We feel lucky to have found Ken (Media 59) on the internet before the wedding. We had several very thorough conversations leading up to the wedding and he really came through. He worked around the photographers which can be a challenge and he was very accommodating throughout the entire process. I spoke to a few other videographers and they seemed a bit more strict and overwhelming with information and pricing/options.

    Ken is a true professional and I believe he really cares about giving the couple a wonderful memory through his work. He certainly has a creative talent and works extremely hard. He was a pleasure to work with and we will cherish the videos forever. The photography blogs, pictures and photo albums are great but it's hard to compare with the live expressions, voices, movements choreographed with music in the videos.

    There are not enough words to express our appreciation for Ken. We think we were extremely lucky to find him. He is easy going, honest, professional and very good at his work. He gave us a package that was just right for us. He put together a 4 minute montage combining still photos and video footage. It is a beautiful and moving piece and exactly what we were looking for. The first time we saw it, we were literally reliving our wedding. But it is not just the beautiful video he made that made it special. Ken is a genuinely nice guy with a great videographer's intuition. With each step he showed he wanted to make sure he gave us what we wanted and that we had his best work. He made sure we spoke before the wedding about what we were looking for and when we saw the final product it was exactly what we wanted and more. He arrived early to get scenery shots, made sure everyone had the the right microphones, set up multiple cameras to get shots from different angles, and worked flawlessly with our photographer. We will keep watching our movie over and over again and are very lucky that Ken agreed to do our wedding video. T&P.

    Ken did a lovely job with our wedding video and was a pleasure to work with! He captured the day beautifully and delivered videos that we will cherish forever! He caught some great moments throughout the day and did a wonderful job of making sure our summary video included a little snippet of nearly all of our guests who attended. We will enjoy having this video to watch for years in the future! He was always very responsive throughout the planning process and during the post wedding editing phase. I enjoyed working with him and would definitely recommend him for weddings in the future or for other video services!
