Both my wife and I have worked in the wedding industry, myself as a videographer, so we know exactly what it looks like behind the scenes. I've been a huge fan of Brooks and Angie for many years, and they felt like the only choice for our wedding film. Though we'd exchanged pleasantries online, I actually hadn't met them until we met up over beers to chat about their services.

Brooks and Angie are some of the warmest people you'll ever meet. Right away, they bring you into their orbit and cheer you on. Video is one of the vendors who will spend the most time around you on your wedding day, and these two are who you want there. Of course their product is incredible (more on that later), but equally as important is the feeling you get when they're around. We couldn't speak more highly about these two.

We were fortunate enough to do a story session with the Gatewoods, all of us taking a quick trip to Richmond in order to perfectly capture the vibes that just didn't exist in Baltimore. We were SO pumped that they were down for the adventure, and fully trusted them with creative decisions. Seeing the reel they made from our time there brought us SO much joy!

Our wedding teaser is more than we could have hoped for. It feels so authentic to us - another reason why it was so important & special to connect with them before the big day! Our friends can't stop talking about how fun it is. The colors are beautiful, the pacing is flawless, and seeing the day from that perspective was so special. Brooks and Angie take such care to understand their couples' relationships and translate them to their films. We felt understood and seen. It feels so special to have folks get a peek into our lives and have them cherish and delight in our love story as much as we do.

If there's one thing I know for sure, it's that you should hire Brooks and Angie.

We cannot thank By The Gatewoods—the incredibly talented husband-and-wife duo, Angie and Brooks—enough for this incredible piece of art and cinema! From start to finish, they captured our wedding day in the most breathtaking way.

From our very first call, we had an amazing experience. Their deep knowledge of the wedding industry, the video production world, and, most importantly, storytelling was immediately evident. As someone with over 10 years of experience in video production myself, I could instantly tell they knew exactly what they were doing. Their expertise, creativity, and attention to detail made us feel completely confident that our wedding film would be something truly special—and they absolutely delivered.

One of the most unique and wonderful experiences was the adventure session they suggested before the wedding. It was such a special time for us—not only did we get to create beautiful footage, but we also bonded with Angie and Brooks and shared our love story with them. This allowed them to truly understand us as a couple, and it absolutely showed in the way they captured our wedding day and crafted the final film. That extra effort and personal connection made all the difference.

The cinematography, lighting, angles, pacing of the edits, sound design, aerial footage, and graphics were all perfectly chosen and executed. Every shot felt intentional, bringing out the beauty and emotion of each moment.

Kim and I are beyond happy and feel so lucky to have had Angie and Brooks document our special day. We've already watched our film four times, and each time, it brings back all the emotions and excitement as if we were reliving it again. It’s something we will cherish forever. Every penny was worth the investment into a film that we can show our kids and future family for generations to come. The story of my wife and me will live on, shared and cherished by those who come after us.

I can confidently say that By The Gatewoods is the top video production company in the DMV area. Their passion, professionalism, and storytelling ability set them apart, and their work speaks for itself.

We truly wish Angie and Brooks the very best in their journey. With the level of talent, passion, and professionalism they bring to their work, their future is incredibly bright. There is no doubt that they will continue creating stunning and meaningful films for so many more couples.

Thank you both for your artistry, professionalism, and for giving us a wedding film that exceeds all expectations. If you’re looking for a team that truly understands storytelling and emotion, look no further than By The Gatewoods!

BE Videography is the easiest recommendation in the world! We are completely overjoyed with our wedding video that brings a few happy tears with every single rewatch.
