Everything we dreamed of!

Choosing A Thousand Cranes Productions for our wedding was hands down one of the easiest and BEST decisions we made! I had the pleasure of working with Jana and Brandon previously and knew immediately after my now-husband and I got engaged that I wanted A Thousand Cranes Productions to capture our wedding day. From the very beginning, working with Jana felt like working with a dear friend who just happens to be unbelievably talented. She was warm, thoughtful, and genuinely so excited to tell our story, and that excitement was contagious! Every email and every tiny detail was handled with so much care and kindness. On our wedding day, her team blended in so naturally that we almost forgot we were being filmed, and yet somehow they captured absolutely everything! The big emotional moments, the quiet in between glances, the uncontrollable laughter, the happy tears, all of it. They have this incredible way of making you feel totally comfortable and seen, which allowed us to just be ourselves and soak up every single second of the day. When we received our video, we were completely speechless. Watching it felt like reliving the best day of our lives in the most beautiful, cinematic, heartfelt way. Nothing felt cheesy or staged, just joyful, romantic, emotional, and so perfectly “us.” We have already watched it more times than we can count, and it still gives us chills and brings tears to our eyes! A Thousand Cranes did not just document our wedding. They preserved the feeling of it, and that is something we will treasure forever. We are endlessly grateful and would choose them again in a heartbeat. If you are even thinking about booking them, do it - you will be SO glad you did!

Dream Team

A lot of your wedding day is spent with your videographer… so they need to be someone you love! We were married at Overlook Barn on October 1st, 2023 and it is not an exaggeration to say that Brandon was one of our favorite vendors on our wedding day! Brandon and Jana were extremely personable, reliable, informative and quick to respond since the moment we inquired. Jana helped us curate a package that featured exactly what we wanted while also leaving out the things that weren't important to us (to help save a bit). We felt confident in their abilities from the start and even more so after meeting them. The day of the wedding Brandon would capture a shot and then turn the camera around to show us his work for a split second - it was moments like these that showed how passionate he was about his work, how excited he was to share it with us, and how much he truly cared that we liked the result. Brandon went above and beyond by even helping to hold my veil for the photographer, and helping get a knot out of my necklace so my mom could put it on me! The groomsmen especially loved working with another one of their team members, RC. A Thousand Cranes are a great team and if you are hiring a separate photographer - they work extremely well with (yet another husband/wife duo) Rob and Kristin Tesar!

THE BEST - Look no further

We are so so so glad we went with A Thousand Cranes for our wedding videography and will cherish the videos forever. I am very pick when it comes to video style and think a lot of wedding videos end up feeling "cheesy". I instantly loved their style and the high-class feel of their videos. Besides the quality of the product, Jana was a pleasure to work with from our first interaction. Our original wedding was postponed due to Covid and Jana was so understanding and made the process of moving the date seamless. On the day of the wedding their fun, easy going personalities were refreshing. We 100% recommend a Thousand Cranes and are so happy we used them!

Would recommend them over & over again!

Adding Jana and Brandon to our wedding team was the easiest decision ever! They made my husband and I feel so comfortable on our wedding day filming all our special moments! Jana helped us create a customized package that was perfect for us and did such an amazing job editing our film! I’ve watched it over and over again and absolutely love having it as a keepsake to watch forever! Would 100% recommend them!!

Talented, Genuine, and FUN!!

There truly are not enough words to express my love for Jana and Brandon. My husband and I were scheduled to get married in June, and we made to tough (but right) call to postpone. As we began the process, we hit a bump in the road. That bump ended up being the best thing that could have happened. I reached out to Jana- not even really sure what I was hoping to find, but goodness, it felt like I was talking to a friend. She was so caring and thoughtful. She and Brandon showed up on our wedding day with the biggest smiles and eager to capture anything and everything. Honestly, I don’t know that they ever stopped filming! The final products are nothing short of perfection. We will cherish these precious memories forever, and we are so grateful for Jana and Brandon’s hard work to make these possible. They are incredibly talented at what they do, and they are kind, loving people who will go out of their way to make things run smoothly. I would hire A Thousand Cranes again in a heartbeat!!

Hire them 1000%

Jana and Brandon videoed my wedding in Feb 2020 and I am blown away. Not only by the quality, preparation, and attention to detail, but I think they might be the nicest people on the planet. During the wedding day, they meshed right in with the hustle and bustle while we got ready and during the wedding they were so professional and I didn't even notice they were there. An added bonus is during the reception they were tearing up the dance floor with me, my husband and all of our family and friends. I received our feature film back last week and I think I've watched it 6 times already. The created a true story of our day and the quality it outstanding. I recommend to everyone who needs a videographer. I might just hire them to record every event in my life.

Worth Every Dollar!

Choosing A Thousand Cranes was easily one of the BEST wedding decisions we made! Jana was a true joy to work with and has created keepsakes that will keep us laughing, smiling and crying all at once for the rest of our lives. She managed to capture all the details, big and small. On our wedding day, she was very relaxing and fun to work with and made us feel like her life long friends. John and I would recommended A Thousand Cranes a million times over!

Best choice with a magical outcome!

We can’t thank A Thousand Cranes Productions & Jana Saxon for their wonderful work on our wedding day! We were indecisive about having a videographer, but we decided it would be nice to have for those who couldn’t make it. Little did we know we would watch it over and over again ourselves! When it came to who would do the filming, Jana was an easy choice. She is kind, professional, and we knew working with her would be magical. We couldn’t be happier! A GREAT videographer should be just as important as your photographer or DJ. Our feature film brings us right back to that day!

Absolutely incredible

Jana and Brandon are absolutely amazing! From day one, Jana was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had. On the day of the wedding, Brandon was just so kind! It’s not an everyday affair to have a camera follow you around and capture all that you’re doing. He made it a comfortable process and his humor and easygoing personality calmed my nerves. Booking a videographer, I didn’t know what to expect, but A Thousand Cranes Productions was more than I could’ve ever asked for. They captured so many precious moments I forgot about. The day flies by so quick and it’s easy to get a little lost. If you are wondering if you really need a videographer, the answer is yes. You do, and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else but Jana and Brandon. Watching the videos they created for us bring tears to my eyes every time. The quality of the picture and sound is unbeatable. I feel like I’m walking back down the aisle again and can’t help but smile. They love what they do and it shows in their work.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
