As a Covid-affected bride, replanning my elopement after having to cancel my wedding was both mentally and emotionally exhausting. At the top of my list, however, was finding a videographer that would be able to capture the perseverance and resiliency our love has during difficult times. I researched about 20 videographers and watched hundreds of videos, before coming across Elephant Memories. As soon as I watched a couple of Clarissa's wedding videos, I knew she was perfect for my vision of a Love Story Movie. She was very professional and friendly from our very first emails to finally meeting on the day of the wedding. I felt like I had known her for years! She made us feel extremely comfortable on our wedding day and worked SO hard to capture every single moment with expertise and natural skill. She was so much fun to work with and paired so magically with our photographer that you would have thought they worked together many times before even though this was the first time. She did it all. Drone footage and even a second camera set-up all by herself which is very impressive. The best part of it all is that she was truly just as excited to put our video together as we were. She finished it early and when I tell you it is the most beautiful video I have ever seen, it is! My favorite compliment when others watch it is that they feel like they just watched a trailer for a movie like The Notebook which was my inspiration from the beginning. I would 1000000x recommend Clarissa and Elephant Memories to anyone looking to book a videographer. Anyone would be lucky to have Clarissa's impressive skills, expert editing, and overall love for her job and passion to produce a beautiful product that can be cherished forever.

Clarissa was a dream to work with and her attention to detail and passion for her craft resulted in a gorgeous documentary video that truly captured all the joy and beauty of the day.

Do yourself a favor and book Elephant Memories before someone else does!

I knew the wedding day would go by so fast, so I wanted to be able to fully trust in these vendors to capture every special moment of the day for us to look back on years later — video & photo are two of the only things that you’ll have forever to truly evoke those special memories and emotions!

Our amazing wedding planner, Heather (Carolina Occasions), recommended Elephant Memories as her favorite videographer in Charleston. I knew when I got lost in their instagram feed, watching (and crying at) every video, that they were the one for us.

Every video is so perfectly tailored to each couple - Clarissa does an amazing job in the months/weeks before getting to know you, your story as a couple and your vision for what you want your wedding video to be. From the feel and look to the music (Karl!) and everything in between, they are so detail-oriented and care about their couples’ stories — and it shines through in their work.

Not only are Clarissa and Karl incredible professionals, they are so easy to work with and wonderful to have around on the wedding day. Granted, there are a ton of distractions throughout the day for bride/groom, they ran fully under the radar yet somehow captured every single important moment.

When Clarissa delivered our teaser/gift bag video (basically the trailer for the full video), we were absolutely blown away. That had us so excited for the full highlights video which we just got this week and WOW. We were fully taken back to the best day of our lives. We can’t wait to watch and relive it for years to come.

Clarissa and Karl are truly masters of their craft and you will not regret booking them for your wedding!

Elephant Memories captured our day perfectly!! You are in such good hands with Clarissa and Karl! They are both so kind, helpful and fantastic at what they do!! They worked super hard to make sure the video was exactly what we wanted and we couldn’t be more appreciative!! It came out phenomenal and everyone loves it!! So so perfect! If anyone is on the fence about getting a videographer you should 100% do it and book with them! The video captures so much you don’t even think about and tells a personalized story about your special day 😍 I knew from the moment I started planning that I wanted a videographer at the wedding and when I came across EM’s videos I knew I had to have them!! My husband was more weary about being filmed but he is so glad we did and Clarissa made it so easy and comfortable to be on camera! This video is everything we wanted it to be and more!! Such a fantastic memory to have forever!! Biggest thank you again to elephant memories for all their work on our beautiful video!!

Clarissa (and Karl) deserve an award for their talent and work. We hired Elephant Memories to do our wedding video after seeing some of their work online. Before the wedding, they sent questionnaires to make sure they understood the vibe of our wedding in addition to us as a couple. After the wedding, they followed up for additional feedback before they started to put the full product together. During the wedding, Clarissa was so nice and calming to be around. Her staff was funny and made the awkwardness of being filmed more enjoyable.
After we received our teaser video, we were extremely excited for the final product. When the final video arrived...we were in disbelief. It is/was AMAZING. We started sharing it with friends and family and before we knew it, we had other people (not wedding guests) reaching out to tell us it was the best wedding video they have ever seen. They tied it together as a story in the most tasteful & beautiful way. We HIGHLY recommend using Elephant Memories - you will not be disappointed.

Video was something really important to me for our wedding this past spring. Clarissa and Karl were amazing and we were so lucky to have them on our vendor team for our wedding day!!! The communication was always prompt and they sent out some “get to know you” paperwork so they could learn our personalities before our wedding. It didn’t take long (and our video showed) they quickly picked up on our personalities and a couple and individuals. Clarissa was super helpful with making our families feel at ease in front of the camera and just effortlessly blended in throughout our ceremony or intimate times. Karl’s music choices took our video to the next level, it was spot on for our personalities and how that day really felt for us looking back. The drone footage was truly next level! If you are debating - debate no more! Our video will always be a treasured keepsake - Clarissa and Karl’s thoughtfulness, creativity, and attention to detail shined throughout our video. We love Clarissa and Karl and consider them friends after sharing our time together! They make a fantastic team and would highly recommend to everyone!

A DREAM come true... Elephant Memories created a masterpiece of a wedding video that brought us right back to the many emotions and feelings of our wedding day. They not only took an extensive amount of time to make sure our video was unique and just the style/way we wanted it, but also took the time to get to know us really well as individuals. Through learning about us, the Elephant Memories team (Clarissa & Karl) were able to highlight what they learned to be most important to my husband and I. I am over the moon excited and ecstatic with how our sneak peek video and highlights video came out! If you want your wedding video to look exactly how you envision it, you need to book EM! We are forever grateful for everything EM has done for us and for their beautiful work! Clarissa and Karl, we love you so much! Thank you for everything!

It's hard to put into words the awe, gratitude and love my husband and I have for Clarissa and Karl, as they made us the most incredible video capturing our wedding that we will treasure forever! We have watched our video countless times since receiving it, and we're left laughing, crying, smiling and feeling so much love, just as much as we did the first time we watched it. The amount of dedicated hours, work, precision, and creativity (and love!) they put into our video is unmatched and left us speechless. We knew we made the right decision when we contracted with them, but upon watching the video they created, we were completely blown away! They captured our day, sharing our love story in such an incredible way, and I can still hardly believe their talent!!
As if the video wasn't enough, getting to know and work with Clarissa and Karl was such a joy, as they are such wonderful, sweet, and amazing people! If you haven't booked with them already, do it now! It was one of the best decisions we could have ever made for our wedding, and we are so grateful for their incredible work!
We love you both so much!!

There are no words to truly convey how incredible Clarrisa and Karl are. Their talent is Oscar worthy and we feel honored to have had our day captured by them. We are continuously told that our wedding video was the best video people have ever seen- and we couldn't agree more. On top of their impeccable craftsmanship, they themselves, are one of the most incredible couples to be around. They make you feel like family and truly share in the joy and celebration of your day. We hope to have them in our lives forever!

Clarissa and Karl really did an amazing job with filming our wedding. You can tell they have a passion for what they do and it shows in their videos. The video they made for us of our wedding day is the greatest gift and we will cherish it always. It takes right back to that special day every time we watch it triggering all of those emotions all over again. If you’re looking for a videographer for a wedding or other special event, you will be in good hands with Elephant Memories!
