Don't Hesitate to Hire!

I highly recommend Black Tie Video! Jim and Barbara were amazing to work with from start to finish. We almost didn't book a videographer, but I am beyond happy we did, because our videos are amazing and bring us right back to our special day! They had the option to add on drone coverage and that was 100% worth it to get an aerial view of our waterfront venue. It added such a nice touch to our video!

Jim was very communicative throughout the process. The day of the wedding Jim and Barbara captured every important moment, but were so unobtrusive, I never noticed they were there! They worked well with all of my vendors (and knew most of them from their many years of experience) and were so wonderful to work with.

One thing that I loved was the option for a full length wedding video. So many videographers we interviewed only offered a highlight video, but Jim offered both a highlight video and full-length video of the day capturing pre-wedding, the entire ceremony, vows, speeches, first dances, etc. My husband and I loved being taken back to all of those moments together and we cherish this video.

The final videos took a little longer than expected to receive, but Jim was in communication with us throughout the entire process and updated us with the status frequently. You could tell how much work Jim put in to the editing of the video--the background music meshed perfectly with the video and every moment captured flowed beautifully into the next. Everything was definitely worth the wait!

If you are on the fence about hiring a videographer, make sure to book Black Tie Video! You won't regret it!

I Would Choose Them Again and Again

I cannot express how much I appreciate Jim from Black Tie Video (and his wife Barbara) for the amazing job that they did! From wedding planning to video delivery, they were the one part of my wedding that I never needed to worry about.

From the first message, I knew that Black Tie Video would be my videographers. After submitting an inquiry, Jim introduced himself in a personable manner that simply told me who he is and what he does. With so many decisions to make, I appreciated cutting through to the straight up facts so that I could check this off my list. I didn’t really know what I needed (because how often does one hire a videographer?) so Jim and I jumped on a call to discuss my options and came to a cost-effective solution that worked for everyone. He even had examples of videos he had shot at my venue so I was confident that the product would be great.

Black Tie Video was communicative without being overwhelming throughout the entire process. As a consummate professional with an amazing personality, Jim just asked for my preferences and later on my wedding schedule, then he handled the rest. He and Barbara were on time on the wedding day and while I barely noticed that they were there, they managed to capture all my favorite moments (and even some I didn’t see the day of).

As expected, the final highlight video and overall video came out beautifully. So, there’s no need to look further for a videographer – Jim from Black Tie Video is your guy.

We Hit the Jackpot with Black Tie Video!

When I say we hit the jackpot in hiring Black Tie Video as our wedding videographers, I mean that wholeheartedly. They were quite possibly the best decision of our wedding vendor team, and you get so much quality for the extremely reasonable price you pay for their services. I can’t help gushing about how wonderful they are!

We found ourselves in an unfortunate situation: our videography company that we’d hired a year before our wedding went bankrupt less than 2 weeks before our wedding, leaving us in an extremely devastating position. I contacted tons of videographers as soon as I found out, and miraculously Black Tie Video was available for our date, and I am forever grateful. Not only was Jim familiar with our venue, but he was also very personable and easy to talk to. We signed a contract the same day, and wow did we hit the jackpot! For a full hour-and-half video and 6-minute highlight film, they charged half the price as other videographers, and the quality wasn’t affected one bit.
The day of, Jim and his wife Barbara were exceptionally professional: they were on time, super friendly, and did their work seamlessly without drawing attention to themselves. Jim was responsive to all my questions before and after the wedding, and he gave sound advice and incorporated my music picks perfectly. When we got the wedding highlight video back, we were floored at how amazing it was: all the best moments were caught on camera and timed excellently to the music, and the video captured the vibe of the wedding so accurately. I don’t usually like looking at myself, but I can’t stop watching the video! The full film included the entire ceremony, dances, speeches, and much of the reception, and it was a delight to see everyone having fun and all the little details I missed the day of.

I rambled a lot, but I’m so pleased with Black Tie Video! They did an incredible job from every angle and are such a strong recommendation. Trust me!

Run...don't walk to hire!

If you're on the fence about hiring a videographer, just book it! Jim (and Barbra) were absolutely incredible & were fun to work with! I was incredibly blown away by how easy and seamless the whole process was. I didn't even know that they were there on the day of the wedding and the video footage they captured was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Jim made an effort to get to know both myself and my husband and kept in touch with us every step of the way (even despite a few technological issues with email). My husband was so against spending the money on a videographer, but agreed based on the affordable cost & now that he saw the video, he tells me all the time that it was the best money we could have ever spent! We even discussed a few "add ons" after Jim sent the video & he heard us and was excited to make our vision come true! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jim! You will not be disappointed!

Flawless Experience

Very happy that we went with Black Tie Video for our wedding. Jim was great! Professional, friendly and took all the stress of worrying away from us on our big day. The short video as well as the full length video Jim sent us after the wedding was absolutely amazing, lots of time and care went into the product he provided for us. Highly recommend

So Satisfied!

My husband and I absolutely loved working with Jim and Barb at Black Tie Video! On the day of the wedding they were very inconspicuous and quietly took in all of the events, we hardly realized that they were there. And they worked well with my other vendors, specifically my photographers, neither of them getting in each others' way. We received our highlight video and full wedding film in record time and we couldn't be more pleased! And Jim was so accommodating when it came to the background music we wanted for our videos. One of the things I loved most about Black Tie Video when I first hired them (about 18 months before the wedding) was how personable Jim was on the phone and how he assured me that we would actually get a FULL film of our wedding (between 60-90 mins) and not just a 15 min highlight reel like so many other companies offer for outrageous prices! We received a highlight film to post on social media as well as an hour long film of our wedding for such a great price and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! We can't wait to watch our film again in the future! Thank you Jim and Barb for such a great experience!

Amazing to Work with and Beautiful Video

Jim and staff were amazing to work with. They were attentive and very detailed in the footage they got. They worked hand in hand with our photography team and got some amazing video of the days events.

We had to move our wedding three times, due to Covid, and Jim and team were able to be with us each step of the way.

There were 2 videographers at the wedding, so the amount of footage was perfect. Jim was quick with the turnaround of the final video and the quality and attention to detail were impeccable.

We received our short, video montage quick and he captured every part of the day, from beginning to end. He then took the entire day and condensed it down to a one hour video, that showed more details of the events, the vows, the first looks and the pre and post wedding festivities.

We were not sure if we wanted a video at first, so we booked kind of late in the game, but we are so glad we did, since we will have this to look back on forever!!! It is the perfect keepsake of the day and will be treasured forever.

Thanks Jim and staff for capturing all the perfect parts of our day!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
