Derek at Catawba Cinematic Events was terrific to work with. He was responsive and listened to my ideas, truly capturing everything we talked about that was important to us. He even incorporated a surprise song into our video that had us smiling from ear to ear....he observed us the night of our wedding and could tell the song was special to us so he wanted to be sure to use it (and we never even told him about it!) You won't regret booking Catawba Cinematic Events for your big day....it's absolutely worth the investment!

Derek was absolutely amazing! Our wedding video is stellar! He captured our special day so beautifully! Thank you!!

We cannot recommend Derek highly enough for whatever videography needs you have, whether wedding or otherwise! Derek is a phenomenal videographer and storyteller. He is so kind and so easy to work with during the planning process and on the day We found his page through Wedding Wire, and knew he was the right videographer for us as soon as we spoke with him. He was responsive, engaged, and thoughtful during the consultation process. On the day, he worked seamlessly with the photographer and rest of the wedding team. He takes a cinematic approach to wedding videography based on his prior training in filmmaking, and the results are truly remarkable. The way he shoots, frames, edits the films are incredible. We are so thrilled with our wedding videos that he created and edited to capture the essence of our special day! Again, just cannot recommend Derek highly enough! I wish I could upload the highlight film for you to see here, but videos are not able to be uploaded here.

We absolutely recommend Catawba Cinematic Events!! This company is trustworthy and professional. They made our wedding day seamless and fun. We are so very pleased with how our wedding video turned out!!

Derek was super easy to communicate with about details/pricing initially. He was easy to work with the day of and I couldn't be happier with our video. I definitely recommend him!

We couldn’t be happier with our wedding video! The videographer captured every special moment perfectly, from the smallest details to the big highlights of the day. The quality of the footage and editing exceeded our expectations, and the entire experience was seamless and professional. Watching the video brings back all the emotions, and we’ll treasure it forever. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands how to tell your love story, look no further. Highly recommend!

My husband and I give 5* on Dereks videography skills, professionalism, flexibility, editing skills and vision. Derek completely captured the essence of our ceremony and reception, including toasts
Our wedding was July 13th and it was the hottest summer day to have a military formal wedding, yet Derek was always at the right place to capture every moment that made the afternoon and evening special.
The video he presented to us far exceeded our expectations and will give us the ability to cherish and remember our special day for the rest of our lives.

Derek is a 15/10!!! Highly recommend working with him. He was my videographer for my wedding in May. He was super easy to work with and very communicative and attentive. I could not be more pleased with how he perfectly captured our day. My husband and I, our family, and our friends have all shed tears watching the video. It is something we will cherish forever.

Derek was everything you want in a videographer for your special day. On time, responsive, innovative, and professional. He met all of our needs and captured everything we asked and more. We could not be more pleased with his work and would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for an event to be recorded. 10/10!

I cannot say enough positive things about this vendor. They were punctual, very polite, and they worked hard to capture all the details of this very special day. The final products were so beautiful. I cry each time I watch the highlight video. It is so professional, so well done. The drone shots took my breath away. They were gorgeous. Honestly, get the drone shots with your package! I absolutely, overwhelmingly recommend Derek and his team!
