My now husband's childhood friend knows Buds and his work, and another friend used them for their wedding. Hired them as videographers and they were such a pleasure to work with! They were professional, understanding (because I am not used to being photographed/filmed), they were very patient with me (the bride) and the rest of the party. They knew what they were doing and I love that they travel to NY from NJ with no additional fee! They were very easy to work with, definitely recommend them. I have not seen our video yet (and I am already giving them 5 stars here) and I know I won't be disappointed once we receive the video!

I don't know how to rate any higher.
We were very glad we chose Buds Palola to be our videographer. Buds and his assistant were very professional, very easy to work with, and did not get in the way at all. All communication was very prompt and answered every question we had.

Additionally, both of the videographers were very creative and used very good equipment.

I actually ran into Buds and his team the morning of the wedding when I ran out of the hotel with my brother to grab some breakfast. I saw them taking shots of the hotel and the surrounding area. Very rarely do you find somebody who takes so much pride in his work and actually shows up 3 hours early to prepare and get the shots that they need.

I would not hesitate to pick Buds Palola Wedding Films, if I were to suggest a videographer.

Buds Palola Wedding Films is the BEST videographer we could have chose for our wedding day! Buds is an absolute pleasure to work with. He is highly talented, professional, and creative. Our family and friends commented on how great he seemed to be working all throughout the ceremony and reception. His cameras were not in the way at all, but we know that he got beautiful shots throughout the entire day. My husband and I highly recommend Buds Palola to others looking for a videographer!

Buds and his assistant were just absolutely incredible. He started at the grooms house in morris plains then came to east Hanover and then we went down to Marlboro to 2 different locations. He was timely and just shot the most amazing wedding video. He is so considerate and creative and I would recommend him to absolutely everyone. Watch his videos on his website budspalola.com if you don't believe me!

Hiring Buds was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. He was professional, responsive, and a fantastic value. At first we were hesitant to hire a videographer because we didn't want a cheesy slow-fade, soft-focus, "Wind Beneath My Wings" wedding video you so often see, but when we saw Buds' short previews on Vimeo, we were sold. Our wedding video is amazing and will be viewed by us and our family for years to come. We couldn't recommend Buds enough!

Wow, where to even begin. My husband and I went back and forth for a few months about whether we could afford to hire a videographer. I first emailed Buds about 5 months before our wedding and man, he responded within MINUTES. Every single time I had a question for him he responded immediately.

We ended up deciding the WEEK before the wedding and Buds was still available and willing to come. He showed up right on time the day of the wedding with his assistant and they were both so friendly and fit right in with the chaos of my house that morning. They weren't in anyone's way, they just did their thing and were very professional and efficient. They went over to my husband's parents house that morning too to film him and his groomsmen as well. And at the reception, they WORKED their butts off nonstop, constantly thinking of cool ideas and making sure they had everything they needed for an awesome video. I don't think I saw them resting once, and it was a LONG day they were with us. Meanwhile my photographer was chilling in the corner with his wife talking, but that's a whole 'nother story.

I was ready to write them a great review before even SEEING the video and today we just got our highlight video back, and OH. MY. GOD. He made our wedding day like a romantic movie and has EVERYONE I know bawling while watching it. It is absolutely perfect. I can only imagine looking back on this 20, 30, 40 years from now and seeing my husband and I young and in love on our wedding day. You pay so much money for the clothes, hair and makeup and photos don't always do it justice, to see it live on film is really just magical.

The part I couldn't believe is the price, Buds offers quality others charge 5 times for, and honestly in my research I think his videos are way better. Overall you NEED to hire Buds as your videographer, the only thing you'll regret is not hiring him and having a video as amazing as ours. THANK YOU BUDS!!

Bud and Mike were absolutely WONDERFUL to work with! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Buds Palola Wedding Films and we've recommended Bud to all of our friends and family. We recently got our final edited video and we are so pleased with the finished product. Thank you for giving us an amazing keepsake we will cherish forever!

AMAZING. I can't say enough about great it was to work with Buds. He was always quick to respond to calls and emails to make sure things would be set for the day of. We booked a package with two photographers. They came early in the morning and they were the last to leave to make sure they got all the footage needed for an awesome video. Though we haven't seen any of his work from our wedding yet, we know it's going to be amazing because of all the work he's done in the past. Both Buds and his assistant Mike were laid back but professional. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!!!! You will not regret it. :)
