Exceptional Skills and Service - Highly Recommend!

Our wedding was the most magical day of our lives, and thanks to Bogardus Photography, we have a beautiful video that allows us to relive those precious moments whenever we wish. We hired Nate as our wedding videographer after he contacted me after attending a local wedding expo. From the start, his professionalism shone through.

Nathan's exceptional communication skills ensured a smooth and straightforward experience. He was always prompt in responding to our inquiries, which made us feel valued and reassured. On the wedding day, Nate's presence was a calming force amidst the excitement. He arrived early, was well-prepared, and was ready to start filming. His reliability, promptness, and ability to solve problems on the fly were simply outstanding. Despite the wedding's hectic nature, Nathan made the filming process comfortable and stress-free for everyone involved.

When we received the final product, we were absolutely blown away. Nate managed to turn our vision into a reality, creating a wedding video that was both intimate and cinematic. He captured every emotion, every smile, and every tear, weaving them into a narrative that perfectly encapsulated the essence of our special day. What stood out was how Nate added his unique talent to enhance the final product, making it truly ours. The video was customized to fit our requests and it surpassed our expectations in every way.
In conclusion, Nathan is an exceptional wedding videographer whose passion for his craft is evident in his work. He has given us a priceless keepsake that we will treasure forever. If you're looking for a videographer who offers a seamless experience, outstanding service, and a final product that exceeds expectations, we wholeheartedly recommend Bogardus Photography.

Nathan was great to work with. He was always communicative prior to event. Met or emailed us multiple times to make sure we were all on the same page on photos for the day. Photos returned quickly and are amazing! Would highly recommend to any future couples!

Simply a great person and photographer

From the moment I met Nate at a wedding expo, his energy was incredibly genuine and welcoming. As a wedding DJ, I work with a ton of wedding photographers and really appreciate the great ones. Nate is truly one of the greats. Not only is his personality awesome, but his work is incredible. Since Nate and I have met, we have worked several events together. Every time I walk into a wedding and see Nate behind the camera, I instantly smile and know the day is going to be fun! As a vendor, it's important to me to enjoy the other vendors I work with. It makes the day better when the team vibes well. Nate is just so easy to vibe with that every time we come together, it's absolute magic!

If you're looking for a laid-back, super-talented photographer who is down-to-earth and authentic as heck, this is your guy. I recommend him to everyone I know...

This man doesn't just take photos; he captures memories in the most breathtaking way. He will immortalize your most important moments, ensuring they are frozen in time forever so that you can relive them over and over.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
