    Garrett and Matt were the wedding party's favorite vendors of the day! They were laid back, fun and unobtrusive, while still capturing great footage. I think this was in part to the preparation Garrett did prior to our event. He really strived to understand things about the day that were important to us. Porch Swing Films is taking a sabbatical from Wedding Videography, but if they ever go back to the business I recommend hiring them!

    Garrett and Matt were the so much fun to work with. They were very responsive no matter if i called, texted, or emailed. We did a video for our rehearsal dinner and one for our wedding day. They were with us from start to finish on both days. There was not a doubt in my mind that they wouldn't capture everything i wanted them to on our special day. They were so easy to work with and they became "one of the girls" the day of the wedding because he was with us all day long while we were getting ready and taking different shots of the venue. It did not even feel like he was there because they were so laid back and easy to work with on the wedding day. He really strived to understand things about the day that were important to us. Porch Swing Films has really stepped up the game for Wedding Videography. I would recommend them a thousand times over and we cannot wait to see the final product!

    Matt and Garrett were very personable and fun to work with! They were always accessible and scheduled meetings to make sure everything on our wedding day was covered.

    I don't know where to begin. If I could give them higher then 5/5 for flexibility I would. We had the unfortunate luck of having a hurricane Matthew wedding. They went out of their way to adjust to a new date, time and location. I was absolutely floored to still have them after seriously like 72 hours notice of the change before the wedding. Also don't worry about including them in getting ready. It's completely comfortable. I would only recommend to ensure you have great speeches and include either notes before hand with your spouse to be or a first look. It creates great material for your video.

    Porch Swing Films went above and beyond our expectations for what we were looking for in our wedding film! If you're looking for a good videographer look NO further than these guys! Plus how cool is their name! These guys ROCK!

    Wedding videography was not always something that was at the top of my list while wedding planning. In fact, you wouldn't have even found it on my list at all a few years ago. I am beyond grateful that I was introduced to Porch Swing Films and what they offer. It's true when people tell you that your wedding day goes by in a flash, and that is so unfortunate since it is one of the most important days in a persons life filled with love, family and the best of friends. To have that day captured on film for the viewing of generations to come is nothing short of a blessing. When making a list of things to do/ people to hire for your wedding, Porch Swing Films should be right up there with the dress.

    Completely awesome videography! This team definitely captured the best angles of the most precious memories from our wedding. My husband and I look at the DVD once in a while. Just knowing we can always look back and remember the day that sealed us together for life is an utterly amazing feeling. :) ♡ we are extremely thankful for the time and effort that was dedicated to capturing this very important event.

    Seal the Reel did a "Love Story" video for me and my husband. They did a phenomenal job capturing the heart of our relationship. Professional, but approachable film crew, they listened to our needs and what we really wanted to see in our video. We filmed our story in a location of our choice. The finished product was incredible, it brought tears to our eyes and touched the hearts of our friends and family. Go check out Seal the Reel for all of your videography needs! You will not be disappointed!

    Porch Swing Films's reply:

    Our perfect day went by so quickly, but now we have the most incredible video to relive the most special moments from our wedding day for the rest of our lives. Garrett and his assistant were both personable and easy to work with-I didn’t even notice there was a video camera around the whole night. Their creativity, talent, hard work, and professionalism went above and beyond our expectations. I was a little wary at first to let Garrett video the whole day, but in doing so he was able to capture so many memorable moments. I would have to say the pre-ceremony shots are some of favorites!! Often there is so much the couple misses on their wedding day but Garrett was able to record those special moments and we will treasure our wedding video forever. If you are unsure about getting a videographer, make the investment and hire Seal the Reel Productions. Thank you so much for capturing the most magical day of our lives.

    My husband and I were together for 9 years before we tied the knot, we had 3 beautiful kids first,then purchased our first home and had our wedding. Doing it all backwards, our story is not common, but it worked for us in so many ways. In the beginning I wasn't interested in a wedding video but my mother inlaw insisted on this priceless wedding gift. Considering the family we made already and having our children apart of the wedding,it was very emotional. Our whole family had waited too long to share this day with us. It was magical. I'm forever thankful for Seal The Reel for capturing this monumental day. Our video is priceless, the music was perfect and the chosen footage shows all the emotions of all our loved ones and most importantly the joy in mine and my husbands face. If you're looking for a great videagrapher, don't miss your chance with Seal The Reel.

    Seal the Reel was the videographer chosen to video my son's wedding. I was thrilled when I learned that Seal the Reel is not limited to just the Wilmington area, but they travel outside of their home base to accommodate their customers as well. The finished product was such a pleasant surprise in that Garrett and his crew captured so many moments that were very unique. From the beginning of the BIG DAY, to the very last minute there were cameras rolling in a lot of different angles. Garrett and his team were great to work with and I would highly recommend Seal the Reel to anyone who wants to capture the special moments in your life. The editing and the finished product was priceless. There were a lot of scenes on the video that I had missed, so it was awesome to be able to see all that was happening . The pricing will beat anyone around and the final product is a treasure that you will have forever. Thank you Garrett and Seal the Reel team for making my children's day so memorable.
