As a bride, I did extensive research when deciding who we wanted to hire as our videographers. From the very first moment my fiancé and I watched their films, we were completely blown away. Their cinematic storytelling is truly one of a kind—the intentional details, unique creative touches, and stunning camera quality immediately set them apart. Every film feels personal, emotional, and beautifully crafted rather than generic or rushed.

The entire process of working with Brooks and Angie was absolutely seamless. They were incredibly communicative, understanding, and genuine from start to finish, which made the planning process feel effortless. We never once had to worry—we always felt supported and confident that everything was in the best hands. On the wedding day, they were calm, easygoing, and so fun to be around, making us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Their entire team was phenomenal and blended into the day so naturally that many of our family and friends commented on how kind, professional, and approachable they were. Guests especially raved about the attendant running the video guestbook—how fun, engaging, and comfortable he made everyone feel, encouraging guests with prompts and capturing the most genuine messages.

They also went above and beyond by introducing a content creator into our package, which was such a thoughtful and considerate recommendation. We are so thankful they looked out for us in that way, because now we have even more videos and moments to look back on forever. It’s clear they truly care about giving their couples the fullest experience possible.

We’ve already watched all of our videos multiple times and somehow feel all the emotions every single time. They captured our day more perfectly than we ever could have imagined. The opening moments, drone shots, storytelling, and overall flow were absolutely flawless.

If there is one thing we did right during the wedding planning process, it was finding Brooks and Angie. Not only is their work stunning, cinematic, and incredibly intentional, but they are also genuinely wonderful people to work with. Their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail made the entire experience feel effortless from beginning to end.

They also helped bring a video guestbook idea to life completely from scratch. From brainstorming the concept to executing it seamlessly on the wedding day, they nailed every detail. The final video guestbook exceeded all expectations—it was emotional, hilarious, and incredibly meaningful. Every single guest message was included (all 48 minutes!), and watching it felt like reliving the night all over again. Receiving it before the holidays meant so much to us, as we were able to share it with our families right away.

They even created a separate video of our vows, which brought both of us to tears. It’s something we will cherish forever. Knowing these videos will be shared with family—and someday with our future kids—makes them even more special.

For anyone considering working with these videographers: they are exceptionally talented, deeply thoughtful, and an absolute joy to collaborate with. They don’t just deliver videos—they create timeless keepsakes. This was, without question, one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We are forever in debt to Brooks and Angie! Go book By The Gatewoods for your special day!

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!

100/10 BEvideography! They are the best at what they do! They helped calm our butterflies but also we're able to capture EVERYTHING. The attention to detail, the speeches, the dancing, the first look/vows all came out beautiful. We also loved the use of the drone. Angie & Brooks are two of the sweetest, kindest, most comforting people we have met and they are perfect videographers!

These two really are the best of the best! Angie and Brooks are so fun and easy to work with and you can feel how genuinely excited they are to work with you and capture your day! This is even before they put together the greatest summary of your day that you’ll be watching on endless repeats. The work they do is so creative and beautiful and you’d really be missing out if you went with anyone else!

Truly can't recommend Brooks and Angie enough -- they are truly amazing videographers. Not only are they incredibly kind and made us feel super comfortable, but their output is absolutely amazing. MANY of our friends and family said totally unprompted that they thought the video they made was "movie-quality," and more than anything we are just so happy that they did such an amazing job capturing exactly the vibe of our day. Icing on top is that they provided us with our final video way ahead of schedule, and even made a bonus surprise Instagram Reel for our wedding planner and an adorable teaser trailer. We looked at 50+ videographers to find Be Videography, and are so happy we made this choice.

If you're thinking of hiring Angie and Brooks, I'm telling you, DO IT! DO IT RIGHT NOW!! These two are absolutely incredible. Amazing customer service, incredibly talented, and just kind and sweet people overall. I wish I could give 10 stars! I reached out to them to do our local elopement video and they absolutely knocked it out of the park in every aspect!

CUSTOMER SERVICE: They went above and beyond (and I really mean ABOVE and BEYOND) for our 2-day elopement in the Shenandoah Mountains of just my husband and I. Aside from making sure we were comfortable and natural with them around, they went out of their way to help ensure our elopement experience was magical. Just a few examples of many: Brooks quite literally gave me the shirt off his back so I could stay warm during an evening hike that they filmed, and helped my husband set up our tall altar. Angie took several INCREDIBLE photos on her professional camera for both our adventure and ceremony days and edited them to perfection when all I needed was a few ceremony photos from a phone as a favor since we didn't have a photographer. She also helped me with my dress and minimalist makeup look. They even bought us stuff from the local store that we forgot to pack for the AirBnB. All this delivered with a kind and warm energy. It felt like we were with two good friends who accompanied us to make our day special.

TALENT: The video turned out AMAZING. My husband and I are both creatives and were seeking a videographer that could do an artistic and beautiful film that we could share with family and friends in lieu of having a traditional wedding. Needless to say, the film was very important to us. Within the first minutes of watching the video, my husband and I were in absolute awe and our jaws continued to drop as we watched further. We squealed (and I cried) at how beautifully they captured such a special time for us. The color grading, the lighting, the music, the composition, the transitions, etc. It was just….chef’s kiss. We were and continue to be overwhelmed with joy at how good it turned out. It’s very clear that they worked really hard to create a special film for us. Plus, we got it much sooner than we anticipated, which was a great bonus. And then there’s the photos that Angie took as a favor for us not having a photographer: talk about magazine-level photos! I was legitimately shocked because I only expected a few unedited photos. She produced some photos that will absolutely go on a gallery wall in our home.

I can carry on and on about how great Angie and Brooks are but honestly, their work speaks for itself. Please do yourself a favor and BOOK THEM!

Angie and Brooks are a must hire if you are looking for a wedding videographer. A family friend showed us their videos and we instantly HAD to have these two gifted people as our videographers. They were so friendly, warm, and creative. They are unmatched in this industry!

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.


Angie + Brooks seamlessly captured it all: sweet little details + moments, stunning aerial shots, everyone's unique personalities, and the biggest moments from our wedding day. Everyone we have shared our beautiful video with agrees that you can actually feel all of the raw love and emotion that we felt on our day too. It is truly a perfect retelling of our most favorite day + love story that we will treasure forever!

In addition, Angie + Brooks were a dream to work with. They are kind and genuine, and an unbelievably talented team. They made us feel so confident and comfortable so we could just BE on our wedding day. We are so, so grateful that we met Angie + Brooks, and we would trust them with our most special moments over + over again!

Brooks and Angie were absolutely amazing to work with. We were drawn to them by their beautiful storytelling but were blown away by the level of care, attention to detail, and above-and-beyond effort they put into bringing our wedding video to life. They were an integral part of our wedding day, making us feel comfortable, relaxed, and in the present moment. The video that they crafted far surpassed our expectations and we will cherish it forever. Do not hesitate to work with this amazing duo!
