The team at Shaking Hands Productions provided us with a beautiful gift on our wedding day.....a DVD of our whole day!!! They captured everything we asked and more and we were so excited to watch it when we received it. Their work really is amazing and would definitely recommend this vendor to any bride and groom!!!

There are not enough words to aptly describe the sheer gorgeousness of the wedding video and trailer that Hiring Shaking Hands Productions created for us! Simply put, choosing Brad (owner of Shaking Hands Productions) to record and describe our wedding day was one of the very best decisions my husband and I made throughout our entire planning process.

In terms of quality and detail, Brad captured our every special moment with enlivened, beautiful clarity. Our wedding was full of do-it-yourself projects, and Brad's professional style infused each tiny detail with dreamy romance - his refreshing artistic approach only enhanced the special elements of our wedding, never distracting from them. We opted for some super 8 footage to be included, and we love the incomparable vintage, nostalgic quality it gave to our video! Our video accurately describes the most treasured, definitive moments of our wedding day in four compact chapters that flow naturally and easy to watch. This is key, since I would be quite happy to spend the rest of my days cuddled up on the couch and watching this video (with a glass of bubbly in hand, of course).

Now for the practical stuff: with regards to professionalism and communication, we were truly impressed by Brad's consistently swift correspondence. Brad's company was the only vendor we hired from out-of-state, and he was certainly one of the most considerate and dependable. Our emails and phone calls were always returned within 24 hours, and any justifiably manic bride knows how much appreciated that sort of punctuality is! Brad worked patiently with us as we sent him countless examples of what we liked in wedding videos, and 'matched' the deions and ideas we sent him with specific examples from his own portfolio. We knew we were in good hands when we saw the time and effort he had gone to in order to assure us that our vision would be fully realized! He worked hard to ease the planning process and was a very knowledgeable and experienced resource to turn to for wedding help and advice. On the wedding day itself, he was discreet and very cooperative while still capturing every detail.

Our whole family has shared in our delight with our wedding video, and we cannot wait to give copies of our wedding DVD to our parents as memorable gifts. Both local and overseas family, friends and colleagues have commented on how much they loved our trailer, which has been shared online countless times! From SHP's portfolio, I know that his whole team is professional, up-to-date and truly depicts the magic of each client's special day. My husband and I consider ourselves very lucky to have been described by this talented company!

Choosing Brad Bennett & Shaking Hands was truly one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process. Working with Brad and his team was an absolute DREAM- he captured all of the special moments and created a beautiful trailer + video for us to enjoy for many years to come. He is extremely talented, in fact, his work has been featured on the fabulous wedding blog StyleMePretty! It is so obvious that he approaches each wedding with the goal of capturing the true spirit of each individual couple. Our friends and family could not stop telling us how impressed they were by the quality of of his work- from the song selections to the artistic editing. The fact that he was able to do all of this and not "be in the way" still amazes me. We hardly even noticed he was filming! Brad was very responsive and extremely professional throughout the entire process. Shaking Hands will guarantee that you will have a beautiful keepsake to enjoy for many years- this is one decision we can look back at and say that there is not a single thing we'd change! Thanks for everything Brad!

I love my wedding trailer and full wedding video that was done by Shaking Hands Productions so much. I can't even count how many times I've watched both videos. When I watch them, I feel all the emotions I felt that day and watching them over and over again make me so happy. When I watched the videos, I didn't even realize some of those shots were taken. The editing and songs were perfect. When I watch the videos, I just can't believe it's my wedding that I'm watching. The final video and wedding trailer totally exceeded my expectations and I am so happy Shaking Hands captured one of the most important and happiest days of my life.

Brad Bennett and his team were always so responsive whenever I called or emailed. The team member who shot our wedding footage was incredibly professional and was able to film without being intrusive. The final edited dvd was BEAUTIFUL and even included a song that my maid of honor included in the reception slideshow. I would recommend Shaking Hands Productions to any bride!

Shaking Hands Productions did a fantastic job filming my wedding! Every aspect of the day was captured thoroughly and creatively. You hardly realize he's there, but the final product will show that he was in all the right places at the right times! Very professional and affordable as well. I highly recommend this vendor to future brides!

Brad Benett and his team at shaking hands productions were such a great asset to our special day.We are above and beyond happy with everything they did and created. We have such an amazing lasting memory thanks to them.
They were professional,insightful,generous,patient and completely bought into our vision of the day and made it our own.We definately didnt want conventional so they totally adapted to us and what we wanted, and looking at their archive of footage, this is their forte.
No boring,static,typical and obvious wedding video..of course unless thats what you want! But every wedding and couple are unique and they ensure that they represent your love and events individuality.
They captured every key moment and some moments we didnt expect but ones that added such sensitivity and added emotion to the day.So many creative moments and angles and really great and unique use of editing and music.
It was wonderful to watch and relive the moments, we will be watching it for many years to come with both tears and laughter and true contentment.
The graphics and presentation of the dvd made it look like a movie and we are excited and proud to give it as a gift to our families.
From the first meeting until recieving the finished product, we just knew shaking hands were the right choice, they made us feel at ease, listened to everything we wanted, worked around us and for us completely. Always communicated with us and gave us updates and exerpts during the process to keep us involved and excited.
They delivered even more than they promised yet everything we expected.
It was the best money we spent and we will be enjoying their gift for years to come.
Bride to bride...definately make shaking hands your choice...you wont regret it . clare and justin derrico

We just got our wedding video back from Shaking Hands Productions, and we LOVE it! We did tons of research before selecting Brad Bennett as our wedding videographer, and the final product even exceeded our expectations. A lot of the other video samples we saw from other videography companies were just raw footage of the entire wedding start to finish without any interesting or artistic edits. We chose Brad because his video style is much more artistic and personalized, and he edits the whole day down into a watchable, enjoyable, beautiful summary of about 45 minutes so all our friends and family will actually want to watch it! Brad listened to all of our suggestions and requests - from the music to the style to the parts of the wedding we wanted to highlight - and he always got back to us right away over phone or email which made it a very collaborative process. Brad had never seen our wedding or reception location before, and we had never actually met in person, and yet he captured everything in such a personalized way. Throughout the entire day, Brad and his assistant were unobtrusive and almost invisible, and yet they managed to capture all the big (and small!) moments up close. We particularly appreciated how Brad was able to film the ceremony from the back of the church, as we hate when the photographers and videographers get in the way of a ceremony, and he got great quality footage through his HD zoom and by putting a lapel microphone on the groom. We opted for a mix of HD and Super8 footage, which gave the video a really timeless, classic effect. We could go on and on, but the bottom line is we are absolutely delighted with Shaking Hands Productions - both the experience and the product - and will recommend them to all our friends in the future!

We were very happy with our choice for videographer. Brad at Shaking Hands Productions captured the vivaciousness, little details, and intimacy we desired our guests to experience at our wedding. They were very thorough and really listened making sure they knew the exact moments that we most wanted to record. But they also went above and beyond by capturing the funny, special candid moments. It is such a joy to look back at the wedding video and see the day from so many different angles and see how much my wife and I, as well our family and friends, enjoyed the wedding.

The DVD that Shaking Hands put together was wonderful with high quality video, terrific choices for the scenes, lovely music choices and excellent transitions. Brad put together our DVDs together shortly after the wedding and he even added customized clips online. It was nice having a quick link to send to family and friends while having a fuller version of the day at home. Brad really invested in us and it was great to work with him and his team. My wife and I love watching our wedding video and enjoy showing it off to family and friends. I would highly recommend Shaking Hands Productions to anyone who is looking for a videographer.

We recommend Shaking Hands Productions 110%! We have nothing but the best to say about Brad and his company. My sister used Shaking Hands two years ago for her wedding and from the moment we saw her video, we knew there was no question that we would chose them when it came time for our wedding. Everything was handled in a professional and friendly way, which made us feel so comfortable. They were extremely punctual as far as emails, arrival to events, and finishing the editing. We are extremely pleased with how the video turned out. We gave Brad songs we wanted in the video and he did an amazing job of fitting them in at the perfect times. We feel that he really captured our personalities, and in editing, beautifully captured so many special emotions and moments from the evening. When my friends saw the sneak peak video online, they all said it looked like a professional trailer to a movie. We can't wait to show them the real video! We offer many, many thanks to Shaking Hands Productions for their talent, knowledge, hard work, enthusiasm, flexibility, and wonderful personalities!

Not only are we so happy we decided to hire a videographer, but we made the BEST decision going with Shaking Hands Productions. Our video was so unique and caught all the special moments (that were a blur) on video. We will treasure this video and watch it every year on our anniversary!

Shaking Hands Productions was great to work with. My husband and I really enjoyed our video and they are highly recommended.

We had our wedding rehearsal, ceremony, and reception recorded by Brad and we could not be more happy with the result. He and his assistant were both super friendly and a general joy to have as part of the wedding. He took time and care in getting shots of everything that we wanted, and added his special touch to make our video perfect.
The end result is amazing. He sent us several copies of our DVD in personalized packaging that looks great in our DVD collection. I would most definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone to capture the details and moments that will make their wedding memorable.
If you're on the fence about getting a videographer, DO IT! You won't regret it. Pictures say a lot, but videos tell the rest of the story.

Brad is absolutely wonderful at what he does. He loves what he does and it shows in his work. I would definitely recommend using Brad for your wedding videographer.

We were delighted to have Brad's services doing video for our wedding - his work is outstanding, memorable, flattering and dynamic - we highly recommend his work!

I never thought I needed a videographer for our wedding, but as soon as I saw Brad's work I knew I had to have him. Everything about his work was perfect, from his quick response to emails to the amazingly quick turnaround of my wedding video. He was so professional and has the best talent of any videographer I've seen. I would recommend hands down to ANYONE and EVERYONE! His work is breathtaking and his customer service is excellent. He is truly the best of the best. I can not say enough positive things about him. See one of his highlight videos and you will be hooked. Amazing!
