An incredible team!

A Beautiful Union came highly recommended to us by our wedding planner and venue, and they exceeded all of our expectations! We were absolutely blown away by their talent, attention to detail, and overall loveliness.

Before our wedding, the ABU team (shoutout Betsy) arranged a call with Daniel (founder), myself, and our photographer to go over the timeline, ease any nerves, and get to know us better. This thoughtful gesture was a game-changer. It calmed my very camera-shy nerves and demonstrated their incredible ability to collaborate with all our vendors.

On the wedding day, our cinematographer Cody was an absolute joy to work with. His calm and fun presence added so much to the day, and we were genuinely happy to have him around during such special moments.

When we received our wedding film, we were completely in awe. Every moment was captured so beautifully that it brought us right back to the day. On top of that, they went above and beyond by including additional footage, which was such an unexpected and generous surprise.

To top it all off, the delivery of our film was just as thoughtful. We received a gorgeous package with our footage, along with an extra surprise that made our first viewing even more memorable.

I can’t recommend A Beautiful Union enough. They are an incredibly talented team of professionals who care deeply about their craft and their clients. Thank you, for preserving our memories so beautifully!

The Best Decision!

I'll start with this- deciding to have videography and hiring A Beautiful Union was one of the best wedding decisions we made.

We sat on whether or not we could afford videography for a couple months. I couldn't let it go, so I knew it would be something worth having. But swimming through the sea of videographers- from some incredibly talented but very expensive, to lower-quality but affordable- options was daunting. I'm SO glad I found Daniel and A Beautiful Union in this haystack, because we truly found the best of both worlds.

Communication was quick and seamless from the get go, which is so important with wedding vendors. Daniel got on a zoom with us and we immediately felt at ease with his upbeat and professional demeanor. Andrew was our videographer onsite for our wedding day, and a perfect extension of this same vibe. Super professional, warm, talented, and he somehow captured all of our special moments while being unobtrusive at the same time.

Our end product is honestly our most treasured wedding day souvenir. Where there are moments missing from photos, our wedding video fills in the gaps. My father was in the hospital just weeks before our wedding, and to have the movement of him walking me down the aisle, his voice in his speech, that is something sacred you can't get from stills. Plus, the quality is stunning and Daniel worked with us on weaving in our first dance song musicians, which feels extra special and customized to us.

I just can't say enough good things. A Beautiful Union is the real deal and worth absolutely every penny; we are so grateful for them!

We love A Beautiful Union!

Daniel is amazing and we are so honored to have Daniel be our videographer. Daniel is not only amazingly talented but also the most positive person and definitely came in clutch helping me (the bride) with my train on my dress!

My husband and I truly loved working with Daniel you aren’t just working with a vendor but with a friend who truly cares about your wedding day. Highly highly recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
