The Absolute Best

Where to begin! Just WOW. I still haven't stopped watching our wedding video & it brings tears to my eyes every single time.

Katie is so talented at what she does!
From the initial meeting, my wife and I could feel her passion and love for what she does. Katie made sure to incorporate everyone in attendance and really bottle up the entire night for us to enjoy for the rest our lives. Her creativity and ideas for shots never felt forced or uncomfortable. She blended in seamlessly, helped out wherever she could and somehow still managed to capture every important moment and then turn it into an incredibly beautiful and emotional highlight video.

Genuinely we can not thank you enough for creating something we will treasure forever!

If you ever need a videographer for your wedding and are on the fence. Do yourself a favor and just reach out to Katie!

Sincerely,
Justin & Emily

Absolutely incredible videographer and an even better human being!!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Katie Swider is one of the kindest and most talented people you will ever meet. Not only will she create the most memorable, professional and emotional wedding video you can imagine, but she will also be one of your favorite people you get to hang out with on your wedding day!! I think its super important to be comfortable with all your vendors (because honestly you do spend a lot of time together on the day!) and I mean it when I say it was a JOY to hang out with Katie on our wedding day. She is so warm and easy to feel comfortable with. She had never met our photographer before but they got along so well you would have thought they were old friends. I loved how intentional Katie was in getting to know me before our wedding and we had the best coffee date just talking about life and what I wanted in our video. And speaking of videos- she absolutely knocked it out of the park with our wedding video!!! I let her pick the song and I was blown away by how it was more perfect than anything I could have ever picked. She captured all the small, sweet moments from our day I never want to forget. Her editing is amazing and you can tell she pours her whole heart and soul into her passion of videography. Overall Katie is an absolutely incredible videographer and an even better human being. THANK YOU KATIE!!!

The perfect wedding videographer

I am completely in love with our wedding video. Katie had an accident right before our wedding day and was unable to film herself but made sure that someone was there for us to cover. She took care of it completely so that I didn't have to worry at all. She then edited the perfect video of our day. I would highly recommend working with Anchored Films!

Beautiful work, beautiful people!

Katie is such a sweetheart!! I hired her when she was first starting this business and instantly knew she had amazing talent and a great eye; she's only gotten better! I have just received our raw footage back from Katie and love getting to actually relive the moments and the comments and it means so so much to me! The highlight reel is absolutely beautiful and makes me tear up EVERY time. Katie was great at communicating when there were concerns or problems and answered all my questions no matter what silly thing I was fretting about! You won't regret hiring Katie and Mike (and Zach!) for your wedding!! They are truly the best!!

My husband and I cannot even express how thrilled we are with our video. I have tears of joy in my eyes every time I rewatch it. Katie captured our day perfectly and we can truly see all of the emotions we felt throughout the day in the video. We are forever grateful that we chose Anchored Films to film our wedding. Katie is not only the sweetest, most genuine person to work with but she was also very discreet throughout the day. She’s absolutely amazing and so talented at what she does! We are so lucky we get to watch our video for the rest of our lives to remember our special day.

Anchored Films was such an easy vendor to work with, from smooth communication leading up to the wedding to seamless blending in while filming during the wedding- I never had to worry about anything. The beautiful highlight film itself had everything we wanted and more- great background track of music, vows, and toasts, perfectly caught moments, and a vast array of people. Katie did a beautiful and professional job so that we can relive the day for years to come. Highly recommend!

Katie was so wonderful to work with and absolutely personable! our time of talking before the wedding seemed like she's been a friend of mine for so long! we clicked instantly- the day of my wedding, she was super nice and professional- my husband and I felt so comfortable around her and her assistant. I absolutely would reccomend Katie to anyone- never second guess a videographer!!!

The work and effort that Katie put into this video not to mention her kindness and courtesy during my wedding day was phenomenal. I could not have asked for a better videographer and person. I definitely would use her again and would recommend her to family and friends
