I was having a hard time finding the perfect videographer, someone who could capture my day the way I wanted, but when I came across cardboard films I was so excited. I absolutely loved how organic and cinematic their films look. They are able to create works of art for each and every wedding that they film. I knew thats who I wanted to capture my big day. They were so nice and helpful from the first moment I contacted them. On the actual wedding day, they showed up on time and even stayed a little later because they didn't feel like they had captured everything that they wanted. I loved how they were very laid back and so flexible, they even travel. They also offer a lot of great packages. I am so happy that I found cardboard films and chose them, you will be too.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Cardboard Films! They were amazing to work with before, during, and after our wedding. They are also wonderful people in general aside from being incredible videographers. On the day of our wedding, my groom forgot his tie (yikes) and Taylor happened to have a tie the color he needed and lent it to him. Not that having the right color ties is the reason why they are a great business-- but Taylor was very kind to jump in and help make our day as smooth as possible when we came across a hiccup. It was obvious they were invested in helping us have the best day we could. The video was simply stunning as well! We were so happy Cardboard films filmed our wedding!!!

Cardboard Films was booked the day of our wedding, but they worked incredibly hard to produce a video for us to be shown at our reception telling our story. It was one of the highlights of our wedding day, and something our families have enjoyed watching over and over since that day. I cannot begin to explain how valuable their product is. They are not just videographers. They are storytellers. I'm so glad Cardboard Films is a part of our wedding story.

Cardboard Films were incredible to work with before, during, and after our wedding. Once we booked them for the wedding, I knew that there was no need to worry about checking in with them. They were very professional throughout the whole process and went above and beyond the day of the wedding. Taylor and his team made us feel very comfortable even though there was a camera catching our every move. I would recommend them to everyone, and I am so very thankful that they were there to capture our special day!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the guys at Cardboard Films. I knew, from the first time I spoke with Taylor, that they were the videographers for our wedding. From beginning to end, the guys at Cardboard Films were professional, courteous, honest, and *incredibly* talented at their craft. Their love and passion for what they do shines through. I also must add that they are great guys to hang around with (after all, you are spending an entire day with them so that matters right?), they're laid back, polite and sweet. They know when to fall into the background but also when to ask you to do certain things so they can get the "shots" they need to (for example, they needed more footage of my husband and I dancing so they asked for us to do that towards the end of the night). It seems like they keep a running inventory of how they want to edit everything and therefore know which shots to make sure to get. I found that to be very impressive! Lastly, they nailed our trailer, reception and ceremony films. We will treasure them for many years to come. Thanks Cardboard Films!

Y'all. Seriously. I could cry.
I had the pleasure of being with Taylor all day while Gavin was with the boys. They were both amazing to be around and made us feel so relaxed. When I finally put on my dress and did the reveal with my bridesmaids, I did not have a full length mirror in the room. I didn't realize I hadn't seen myself until later when I was doing bridal portraits. I think I forgot to find a mirror because everyone I was surrounded by including the Cardboard team made me feel so beautiful. We got along with the team so well, it felt like just a couple of wedding guest with incredible talent and a video camera. We knew we were going to love the video just from the vibe we got from being around them (+ I watched every video I could find online they did. Freaking gorgeous work).
We got the trailer back.... flawless. The full film... water works. It's the most perfect reflection of the day. You can feel the love and excitement in every moment they captured.
While we didn't get to work with Payton on our wedding day, he was the one we worked with during contracting etc. We have since met him. He is also a complete delight.
If you are on the fence about a wedding videographer at all, don't be. It's freaking worth it 100 times over. That is, if you get some one like Cardboard Films.

I really can not say enough great things about the Cardboard Film guys. These guys were such a joy to have around during our most intimate of days - they were fun, incredibly easy to work with, and by the end of night, I felt like I knew them for years! My wife and I where completely floored by what we got back from them! They nailed it! Not only did they capture our story, but the got EVERY moment of the night - and shot it with such creativity! I literally can not say enough great things about Cardboard films! You guys are are amazing!

Cardboard Films is truly a phenomenal team. They are outstandingly kind, professional and uncommonly creative. They were born to come together to make films. Our wedding film is unquestioningly the greatest treasure we have to remember that day. It's difficult to articulate how special they were to us through our wedding experience and we continue to think of them so endearingly. Brides and grooms: be certain that hiring Cardboard Films will be the best decision you make for yourself in wedding planning. They really are a must have - and if in fact you are fortunate enough to use them, you'll find yourself unremittingly grateful. Cardboard Films is a very special team and their creativity is absolutely unparalleled. Believe me- you want this!!!

Fantastic quality for couples who want to simply be 'present' on the day and trust that you'll have truly beautiful footage afterward!

It took us a reallyyyy long time to find a team who filmed and produced organic, beautiful videography for weddings and who offered packages that fit what we were looking for. We were so excited to find them and appreciate that they're on-site for the preparations/wedding/reception and none of their work ever feels corny or staged. They took the time to get to know us ahead of time too, and though it's not necessary for everyone, that helped us feel relaxed too and like we had new friends who would be capturing the day.

They're ON IT in making sure the bride/groom can simply relax and be present in the moment and trust that they will capture the special moments in a beautiful way. Thank you so much to the team for all of your quick communication, positive attitudes, and great energy on the wedding day. You guys helped make it completely seamless!

If you're on the fence about hiring a videographer, don't be: hire one, and hire Cardboard Films. I promise you will not be sorry. Our photographer recommended Cardboard Films to us. Being a photographer myself, I knew how important it was to us for our wedding film to capture the essence of our day, and Cardboard Films delivered beyond anything we could have imagined. We recently had our first anniversary and watched all of our videos again, and the first thing I said to my husband (after we cried our eyes out, of course) was "I'm SO GLAD we have this." Cardboard Films gave us SO much more than a wedding film - it's truly a piece of art that we will treasure for the rest of our lives and for generations to come. The guys from Cardboard are true professionals and artists and captured our day so beautifully. We can't say enough good things about them and the product they delivered. I would give them 10 stars if I could. These guys are among the best in the business - HIRE THEM!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
