Great experience and video

Laura did a great job capturing our ceremony, venue, and guests. She was always contacting us and making sure we got the video we wanted. We were on the fence about having a wedding video, but we are glad we did!

Incredible!

She did an incredible job! The videos looked great and she was responsive and prompt. She had the option to do raw footage at an affordable price! I wasn't originally going to have a videographer but when I saw she had that option, I decided to go for it and I'm so glad I did! I would highly recommend!

Surpassed all Expectation

Laura and her team are amazing! I hired her to photograph and video my wedding and she surpassed all my expectations! Entrusting someone to perfectly capture one of the most important days of your life is stressful, but she blew it out of the water in an amazing way! From the very beginning Laura was extremely responsive and answered any questions I had. She made me feel so comfortable and customized her services to fit my vision for the photos and video. On the day of the wedding she was so wonderful to work with and made everything so easy and everyone so comfortable. When we received the photos and video back it was amazing to see all of our amazing memories perfectly captured. Her work brought me to tears being able to relive my wedding day. I would highly recommend Laura and her team at Captivating Videography!

Hancock Wedding 6/15/19

Laura from Captivating Videography was the sweetest ever! She made me feel at ease as she was rolling. My husband and I picked the hour of raw footage and wow we couldn’t be any happier!! It was so awesome seeing parts of the wedding we missed because we were sooo busy! She is so professional and answers any questions that were asked. We are so grateful.
Update: I just went and rewatched our videos and cried my eyes out hahaha! AMAZING.
Thank you so much, Laura!

Amazing Videographer

Laura was a great find! We used her for our daughter's wedding at Spanish Oaks Ranch. She explained everything thoroughly beforehand so on the day of the wedding we knew what to expect. She was so fun to work with and we are grateful she captured our special day!

My husband and I just finished watching all of our films and we are absolutely over the moon with how they turned out. Laura and TJ truly are so great at what they do and will turn your day into a beautiful video you can cherish forever. Prior to the wedding, they are very easy to work with and communicative through email, answering all my questions. They are also willing to create custom packages, which was what we did and it worked out great. You will not regret getting one of the higher packages, because you will want to have all of those great memories on film. We definitely recommend the drone, we loved being able to see the sky view and they captured amazing shots. The return of our films was timely and much faster than I have heard other people have to wait. Long story short, Laura and TJ are great videographers and you will not regret having them film your wedding. Great couple and awesome vendor. THANK YOU LAURA AND TJ FOR EVERYTHING. Much love, Eric and Samantha
