The best wedding gift!

Let me just start with saying that we absolutely LOVE the videos that Marc and Dan put together! They both did such an incredible job of capturing all of the special moments, details and emotions on our wedding day. I know we will always look back on these videos and feel the joy and love we felt throughout our special day.

Marc and Dan were so great to work with. They made everything so easy every step of the way - from planning to filming on the day to sending our final files, they have always been so friendly and professional. We highly recommend working with First Look Films for your wedding videography, you will not be disappointed!

First Look Films is the best in the business

Marc and his team worked with us for our recent wedding over this past summer, and they were absolutely incredible. From start to finish they created a seamless and easy atmosphere to work with them while filming and made it easy. Their attention to detail and professionalism was top notch. We are so happy with the videos and moments they were able to capture.

I would recommend them to anyone, they are incredible!

Best videographers we could have asked for!

Wow, where do I even start? These guys were absolutely amazing!!! From the moment they arrived, they brought such a chill vibe that made us feel super comfortable. They caught all the little moments — the laughs, the tears, the crazy dance moves — and somehow made everything look even more awesome than we remembered.

The trailer and final video are both a masterpiece, honestly. It’s like reliving our special day all over again but with even more magic. We’re so grateful for their talent, professionalism, and that special touch of fun they brought to the whole process. Thank you for helping us create a film that we’ll cherish forever! Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend to anyone wanting to turn their wedding memories into something truly unforgettable! We appreciate you guys so much!!

Excellent! 10/10 Recommend

This review is long overdue but it was necessary! I used First Look Films for my wedding 7/19/2024 and it was the best decision I could have made. The trailer, film, separate videos of the ceremonies and speeches are so well done. I also opted for the raw footage and that offers so many more videos of moments from the day that I’m glad to have. They recorded incredible footage without me even realizing they were there in those moments. A videographer, and more specifically First Look Films, is a must for the day. They captured memories from the day you would miss with only a photographer. I have watched my videos from the days several times since the wedding. They captured footage I would have regretted not having on video. The day goes by so quickly and First Look Films captured many moments you as the bride or groom may not see, but would have liked to see. They were professional and easy to work with. Their ability to create films by combining random clips for the day blew me away. You get what you pay for with all things wedding and they are absolutely worth every penny! I would 10/10 recommend First Look Films.

Stop your search and book !!!!

Hi,

Marc and Dan….i feel like I need to put you in my will. Or at least name my first born son Marc Dan Gurney???? You’re kidding??? I’m sobbing?? You guys NAILED IT.

Since September all we can say is that our day was the best day of our lives and was so perfect but it felt like a blur. In our hearts we felt all of these moments but it was hard to remember because the day was so fast and perfect. You gave us the memories that match the moments we felt in our hearts, and I honestly don’t know how I can ever thank you both. You guys fit into our day so well and I will never know how to properly thank you. You guys did it and we are SO grateful.

You guys are amazing. We love you, thank you for EVERYTHING!

Perfectly captured our special day

I highly recommend First Look Films for anyone who is getting married. Marc and Dan went above and beyond from the communication prior, day of schedule, quality content, delivering our wedding video in a timely matter and more! The entire process was extremely seamless and every special moment of our day was captured beautifully. I wish we could relive our wedding day over and over, having this beautiful wedding video reminds us of the perfect day. Thank you so much!

The best experience!

Marc did an amazing job! He was so easy to work with from start to finish and while he was extremely professional, he was also super personable and fun to have around. His video perfectly captured the emotion and fun we had during our wedding. We cannot recommend Marc enough!

A great experience and a video that exceeded our expectations!

Dan and Mark from First Look Films were absolutely amazing! They were professional, on time, and helped keep the day moving while still being so much fun and a great addition to our big day! They sent us our video quicjer than expected and we absolutely LOVED it. It exceeded our expectations a hundred times over. They created a wedding video that was way more than just a bunch of clips. Their storytelling really captured the vibe of our day perfectly! We loved how they made it feel like we were reliving the whole day, rather than just rewatching a highlight reel. All of our friends and family have been raving about our video! I’m so grateful to have such a cool video to remember our big day by, and hopefully show to our future kids one day! If you want a wedding video that tells your story in a creative and genuine way, these are your guys!

Amazing experience

We cannot get over the experience we had with First Look Buffalo. We had a destination wedding so there were a lot of variables we were working through- nerves, language barrier, travel. Marc and Dan, played an instrumental role in ensuring the ease of our trip and the big day. Their professionalism and expertise were evident in every aspect, from coordinating with vendors to directing shots effortlessly. Their presence not only put us at ease but also allowed for candid moments and genuine emotions to shine through.

They went above and beyond to get shots that captured our love, the beautiful place we were in, and the people that were there to celebrate with us. The video they created for us wasn’t just highlights of the night. They truly told the story of our whole wedding, weaving together each little moment with seamless transitions and perfectly chosen music.

Every time we watch the video it’s like stepping back into the magic of our wedding day. It captured the essence of our love, the beauty of our surroundings, and the joy of our celebration in a way that exceeded all expectations!

Videographer for our wedding day/ceremony/reception

I cannot rave enough about First Look Films! Marc and Dan are truly so talented and wonderful to work with. They made the entire process so easy and catered to anything we specifically wanted as well as put their own artistic touch into our video. This is by FAR one of the best expenses that we purchased for our wedding, having a videographer (especially a business like they have) is truly worth the investment. We now have more than just pictures to look at, but actual footage of the entire day. All of the beautiful moments, the ones I didn't get to see as a bride on my husband's point of view, and vice- versa. I would recommend them a thousand times over. They are prompt with their responses, professional, SO FUN to work with, and they are very experienced in what they do and helped me to not have to make decisions on my wedding day because they knew what to do. My Husband and I are so pleased with our wedding video, we recieved both a trailer and our full video in a very timely fashion and they are absolutely perfect. I cannot thank them enough!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
