We were on the fence about whether or not to get a videographer for our wedding. After talking with Fran, we decided to go for it. I can now say that it was the best decision we made! Fran did a wonderful job. Fran was professional and timely. He managed to capture everything and we hardly noticed he was there. Not only do we have a 20 minute feature film that fully captures the day, we also have full footage of all the speeches, the ceremony, and dances. It is a great way to relive our day. He even posted a 2 minute trailer the day after the wedding that we absolutely loved! The footage of my husbands face and tears as I walked down the aisle was priceless and something that we could not have gotten from photographs. I would definitely recommend Fran to be your even videographer, you will not regret your decision!!

There are not enough words to say how great Fran is and how amazingly talented he is! Fran filmed and created the most beautiful wedding video for my husband and I. He captured every moment perfectly, and his "Coming Soon" trailer was awesome! He had it out the weekend of our wedding and was a great sneak preview of our feature film. Fran and his assistant Michelle were also wonderful to work with. Very professional, personable, and just fun to be around. Our guests loved them as well! And Michelle was always looking out and letting me know if a hair was out of place or my lipstick was smudged which was very much appreciated! I highly recommend Fran to any couple looking for a video to commemorate their special day. I know my husband and I will be watching ours over and over for years to come!

Fran and his team did such an AMAZING job for our wedding. I am blown away by the quality of the video. I seriously cannot stop watching it! Being able to watch all of those special moments over and over again means so much to me. Plus, I get to see things in the video that I wasn't able to witness on the actual day, like my husband getting ready, the bridal processional, cocktail hour, etc.

I have shared our "feature film" with friends, family, and co-workers and the response has been incredible. It makes them feel like they were at the wedding even when they weren't. The video just captures the feeling of the day in a way that pictures can't.

The video is even more special to my husband and I because it has beautiful footage of his aunt who passed away shortly after the wedding. This will be a treasured keepsake for years to come. I know I will be showing this to my future children someday!

Using Fran and his team was one of the best decisions we made. Fran is kind and professional and he works with some really great people. You seriously don't even notice the cameras throughout the day- but they're there capturing all the action! I am so happy with our video and can't say enough good things about it! Thank you Fran!

Fran was very professional from the very beginning, I had tears in my eyes just watching the videos of other couples I had never met! Our family and friends had nothing but wonderful things to say about him and his team the day of, and he made me feel like a beautiful bride all day! Now the video- we can't stop watching it! It puts our Day into a beautiful story, I couldn't have imagined better, not to mention he gave us allllll of the video from the whole day so we can rewatch the ceremony, speeches, and all the dances! We would recommend him to everyone!

My husband and I absolutely recommend Fran! He was very easy to work with and very mindful of what we wanted to see in our video! Our video brought me to tears! It was so exciting to relieve our wedding day and also see it in another perspective. Everything from the day was captured and I'm so glad we will have this forever. One very special thing about the way Fran does his videos is that you will have a featured film (about 20 minutes), which summarizes the day, AND you can get chapters of the ceremony, the speeches, intros, and dances, all things you will want to remember! The best part is that Fran is very talented and everything is artistically done, and you will want to watch all of your videos a million more times! We highly recommend Fran Gagnon Films!

Fran did a fantastic job capturing ourwedding on video! He was very low-key and easygoing, and he was extremely unobtrusive, to the point that his presence was barely noticeable a lot of the time. Somehow, though, he and his associate managed to get SO much on video! The highlight video is edited so well, and the music he chose really goes well with the footage and the general mood of the content. The video also made it clear that he really appreciated the components of our wedding day that we put thought into and cared about. Plus, his package includes so much more than many videographers. Not only did he give us an edited trailer basically right after the wedding, but then a highlight film and tons of “bonus features,” which amount to edited footage of every important part of the day – the first look, the full ceremony, the cocktail hour (which was in a separate location), the first dance, speeches and performances (including lots of special performances we had), parent dances, and party time! This is so much for such a reasonable price. We will treasure all of this footage. He also makes it really easy to save, archive, view, and share the video. Thankfully, he doesn’t use DVDs as many still seem to. The content comes digitally through a streaming service, and it can be shared using that service, saved to your own account on that service, and downloaded directly. He also sends everything on a USB drive. He sent a separate link that contains only the highlight film so that we could share it without sharing the rest of the footage if we wanted to. Overall, he provided such a comprehensive videography service, really personalized and thoughtful video construction and editing, and the unobtrusive style of a documentarian. We are very happy with our choice!

Not only did my wedding video come out awesome, but I really didn't notice that James (the camera man) was even at my wedding. James was unobstrusive, but he got fabulous footage. I got the DVDs quickly. The video was edited into short, easy-viewing segements. The cost was very reasonable and we got to customize the final product. If you need a videographer, I would 100% say go with Fran!

When you’re a bride the most common advise you receive is “on your wedding day take it all in because it goes by fast” and boy are they right. My wedding day was beautiful and memorable at least everything I was able to see and remember. One of the best parts is hearing from the guest after the wedding talking about their favorite part which were things they I may have not seen or noticed, until I received my wedding video.

Fran Gagnon is amazing. My husband and I met with him and we were so impressed with modern equipment and technology. Our first meeting with him he took the time to discuss what his videos would entail and what options we had and even showed us several sample videos, but he made it personal but showing footage from the same venue and church we were having our wedding. Fran and his staff the day of our wedding were both professional and friendly to the entire wedding party and guest. I didn’t even know they were there which is a huge compliment. I have attended many wedding where the videographer and photographer were always right in front of the bride and groom and would obstruct the guest view, not Fran Gagnon he was never in the way and captured every moment. My reception went until 11pm, early afternoon the following day Fran had already sent us a trailer of our wedding video so that we may share with our family and friends.

The final video was better than I could have ever imagined he captured moments of the guest at the ceremony before I received, the cocktail hour at the reception and the small touches like the way my husband and I were looking at each other throughout the wedding etc.

I highly recommend Fran Gagnon, I promise you will not be disappointed.

When it came to booking our videographer there was no question that we were going to book Fran Gagnon Films. I have had friends and family who had used him and they all highly recommended him. He and his assistant Michelle were so discrete I forgot that they were there! Fran was very professional and just an all around nice person. We absolutely LOVE our wedding video! Fran really has a talent for putting together a great film that we will enjoy forever. You will not be disappointed in working with Fran, he is amazing!
