Do it! Hire Adam! You will be so happy you did!

Initially we were on the fence about having a videographer at all. Were we really going to watch the video over and again to make it worth it? Brides, grooms, lend me your ears: get a videographer! And do yourself a bigger favor and hire Adam! Your wedding day will be a complete blur. I joked to people afterwards, "was I even there??" Because I barely remember anything from the actual day (and no, it wasn't ALL due to the wine!) There are so many people there to wish you well, and you won't get to spend any real time with any of them because there will always be a half a million things happening at once. The whole wedding will be like a freight train that passes you by so quickly that you have no idea what happened. Those months (years?) of planning will all culminate in a vivid fever dream, and unless you have video evidence, you'll have no idea what happened. Videos will capture the experience in a way that still photos just can't (yes, a Captain Obvious statement, but oh so true).

Why Adam? First, his rates are competitive. But you don't want to hire a professional just based on price. The quality of Adam's videos (yes, plural!) was astounding. He ended up doing three videos for us: a 10-minute highlight reel set to music, the nearly two-hour video of most of the event, and an adorable three-minute silent film he threw in for free because he was inspired by our Roaring 20's theme. All were jaw-droppingly moving, professional, and inspirational. I seriously cry every time I watch them. And I can't stop watching them...

Adam showed up at our house two hours before the wedding to catch those last getting ready moments. I didn't even know he was there. He blended in seamlessly to the experience. And he even pulled double-duty by taking me, my maid of honor, and our adorable canine ring-bearer with him to the venue!! Mad props for doubling as our Uber! That just goes to show the level of commitment Adam had to our experience. He captured the essence of the ceremony perfectly (with multiple cameras and mics), and he was out there in the middle of the dance floor to capture all those moments that I certainly could not remember even happened! He did little mini-interviews with our guests, and those were so stinkin' adorable! I just can't say enough good things about our experience with Adam. Oh, and he had everything back to us in just a few short weeks. I mean, class act, here, guys.

So let's review: get a videographer. You will not regret it. Save money and get sheet cakes and one smaller show cake if you need to, but do it. And hire Adam. Of all the things you have for your wedding, your photographer and videographer are the most important (well, maybe tied with your hair and makeup person b/c you need to look fabulous for these pics and videos). I promise you won't be able to remember all the great details of this massive event that you've likely poured your heart, soul, and credit score into over the past year, but if you have the right video guy (and photographer), you absolutely will!

Great Video!

Adam was fantastic to work with! He was professional on our phone calls and day of. He got all of the shots we could have asked for on our wedding day, and we received the footage really quickly! His editing skills are great, and he was very receptive to the couple things we asked him to edit during our review. We highly recommend Adam!

Highly recommended!

We hired Adam for our wedding in June and we are super happy with our experience. Through the entire process, he was very laid back which I appreciated. On the day of, he just did his thing and stayed in the background. There were so many special little moments that happened at our wedding and reception that I hoped he had caught, and he caught them all. He has great instincts and doesn’t need much instruction. He has an artistic eye for composition and recognizing which moments will be the most important. When he put together our highlight video, it was pretty perfect. There were a few small changes we requested, which he quickly fixed for us. I would definitely recommend Adam for a wedding or any other type of videography you need!

So glad we hired Adam!

Adam was recommended to me from a friend, after seeing the videos from her wedding, I knew I needed to hire him as well!

Throughout the wedding planning process, Adam was very responsive to all communication. He arrived to our venue early on the wedding day to do a venue tour with our coordinator. He strategically divided his time to make sure he was able to capture both sides of the wedding party as they got ready.

Due to Covid, we needed the option to livestream our wedding, Adam ran the livestream for a minimal charge and took care of it completely! He handled the setup for the livestream, had enough cameras and mics for our online friends/family to be able to hear. He captured all the angles of the ceremony for our online guests while still capturing each moment for our video, it was so impressive!

Looking back on the day, I am so glad we chose to hire Adam! He captured each detail of our wedding and created such a beautiful video for us to cherish our wedding day.

Great outcome

Adam was amazing to work with. He worked around our budget and we can't appreciate it more. This is the second time I have worked with him and have seen his work. Once when I was a maid of honor and the second time, my own wedding. He listens to your opinion and what you want. He edited our video for our preferences. I will definitely be working with him again.

Amazing Videographer!

From the beginning, Adam was quick to respond and we really clicked on the phone discussing our vision. The day of our wedding he was prompt and prepared and he was always there but never in our way. He made the process so seamless and easy and we honestly love his highlight video more than our actual photos. He took the time to work with us on any edits and the final product was ready was so quickly. For anyone unsure of whether a videographer is worth it, the answer is yes and using Adam is your best choice. He truly was amazing and I would highly recommend him!

October Wedding

Adam was very professional and responsive to all my inquiries before and after our wedding. He traveled between various locations to obtain footage during the “getting ready” times and they were great shots. We love our DVD that he made which included both full video footage and highlight video.

Authentic and Touching Wedding Video We'll Treasure Forever

My sister-in-law's main regret from her wedding was not having someone take a video, so I knew a wedding videographer would be a vendor priority of my husband and I. Adam exceeded all of our expectations. When reviewing different videographers, we loved that Adam's videos didn't seem overly dramatic, yet were extremely authentic and moving.

He was kind and professional in the planning process and in-person throughout the wedding day. He arrived early to capture our getting-ready moments. For the ceremony itself, he captured everything beautifully (mind you it was a very blustery and borderline rainy cold November day.) Adam interviewed guests throughout the reception which we thought was so fun and also a reason we chose him! Now when we look back at our video years down the line, everyone's voices and well wishes filmed are frozen in time.

The final products were absolutely beautiful and returned to us in excellent time, especially right around the holidays. Adam even offered to make changes to the video after our initial review. The way Adam edited the day together was absolutely perfect. He took our day and turned it into a story filled with all the emotions we felt that day from the tears to the dancing and laughter. Thank you Adam for the value you provided to us--we have already recommended you to friends.

Amazing Compilation

I've never heard anyone say while at the wedding, " your videogragher is amazing!" Lol Adam was everywhere, getting all the best shots. He never felt intrusive. We've watched the video at least 15 times, and I had to ask my husband to stop showing to random ppl. We couldn't have gotten anyone better. He's amazingly priced, we booked early. And he added in other videos from the engagement. It's perfect!
