First Day Films is amazing!

We were so thrilled with our experience working with First Day Films and would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone getting married. Amongst all of the craziness of wedding planning, finding the right vendors was one of the most difficult things. Once I spoke to John on the phone I was completely sold. He was extremely responsive, personable, and welcomed our input and feedback into the process.

Jimmy and Jason were amazing to work with on the day of our wedding. They were completely respectful and unobstrusive. Jason even helped carry my veil throughout Central Park while we got some shots! They were so lovely to work with.

One of the best things was seeing a preview video on Instagram only two days after our wedding! All of the videos and editing came out so wonderfully and our families were so happy with the result as well.

Thank you to John, Jimmy, and Jason for being so fantastic at what you do. We are so grateful and highly recommend hiring this team!

Wonderful Experience for our Wedding

First Day Films was incredible to work with. They made my husband and I feel incredibly comfortable during our special day. There was a massive rain and weather storm incoming during our wedding, and John and his team were so accommodating. We had to move our entire first look and schedule up to work around the weather and First Day Films was easy and just so professional throughout the entire day. We ended up having beautiful weather after the storm and our video is so perfect and SO NATURAL TO US! We loved working with First Day Films and highly recommend them for your special day!! Thank you for everything and for bringing our beautiful wedding to life.

Book now!

When my brother used First Day Films 6 years ago, I knew I had to have them for my wedding. John was so easy to communicate with from day one and answered any emails in a timely manner. Edward was our main shooter and he was so nice and worked well with my photographer, Jovon!! You didn’t even know he was there taking videos, it was so seamless. A few days after my wedding, there was already a preview on Instagram which was an amazing surprise! If you want a quality video, to be stress free, and for the videographer to make you feel comfortable on your wedding day, book First Day Films! I recommend them to anyone!!!

Incredible Wedding Videographer

We worked with First Day Films for our wedding in May and cannot recommend them enough! John was so wonderful to work with and made the entire process extremely smooth. He and Daniel were also so great at making the experience of filming on our wedding day as comfortable and fun as possible! We absolutely adored our wedding film and how it captured the feel of our wedding day so well. While First Day Films was a bit more expensive than some of the other videographers we considered, it was extremely worth it for how high-quality the film was. The camera work and editing made it feel truly cinematic in the best possible way. We are so incredibly happy we chose First Day Films for our wedding!

John and his crew are amazing, look no further book with them now!

We searched through so many vendors to find our videographer and are so thrilled to have gone with First Day Films. John and his team truly captured our day and made us feel so comfortable in shooting. My husband and I were so nervous that it was going to feel unnatural and forced being on video. However, they truly made us feel comfortable to be who we are on camera. Throughout the day he and his team offered support and gave us some great laughs to get us through the nerves. Would highly recommend First Day Films, we couldn’t be happier with the videos to look back on for the rest of our life.

Best Choice You Can Make!

We found John and the First Day Films team through friends who used them for their wedding, and boy am I happy that we did! Not everyone prioritizes a videographer for their wedding day, but it was something that I felt was really important and I cannot even express in words how grateful I am for the First Day Films team. John was the biggest pleasure to work with - not only is his work incredible, but on the day of my wedding he kept me calm and excited all day long more than any other vendor. His warm, calm, positive demeanor was hugely appreciated - when I felt we were a bit behind schedule, John was right there reassuring me that we had plenty of time, everything looked perfect and the shots he was getting were beautiful. We loved working with John so much and we received the most incredible sneak peek of our wedding day just a few days later which quite literally had me sobbing with happiness. I feel so grateful to John and his team and we cannot wait to see the rest of the footage which we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Even if you are on the fence about having a videographer, there is no better choice that you can make than including John and the First Day Film team on your wedding day!!

Highly recommend!

John was such an integral part of our wedding team! He was professional, creative, and extremely responsive to our vision! At our initial call, John said that we wouldn’t even notice him on our wedding day- he said he follows the lead of the photographer - that was 100% true!! John and his second shooter seamlessly captured our wedding, and we are so grateful he was part of our day!

I can't say enough good things about John Miller Videography. He is the first on my list of recommended Videographers. He approaches the day unobtrusively and is able to catch every moment while it unfolds which allows me as a photographer to do the same. His final product is clean, natural, and absolutely stunning!
