Reviews of Fran Gagnon Films

Excellent results and great to work with!

Working with Fran was fantastic, and so was the video we received from him. His style is to be an unobtrusive presence at the wedding and capture the real emotions of the day. Our video was smartly edited to bring out everything from our entire day in just 15 minutes of video. And he also sent us a more complete, less edited version as well, so that we can look over any particular moment.

Fran was also easy to communicate with before, during, and after. He was upfront with the costs and what we'd get, and we felt good about the value of our package.

Do not hesitate and hire Fran!

From the moment I spoke with Fran on the phone, I knew he would do a wonderful job! My husband and I are not people who like being in front of the camera, but Fran made us feel comfortable and we barely even knew he was there most the time. He was very easy to work with and was not at all intrusive. When we received the sneak peak only two days after our wedding, I knew we picked the right person. We can’t wait to see the final product and would highly recommend Fran!

So excited to see the final product!

If you’re on the fence about getting a videographer for your wedding, meet with Fran Gagnon of Fran Gagnon Films. From the very beginning he was so accommodating and understanding of what we wanted out of our wedding film. We went to his office and watched a series of videos he’s done for other weddings and we were amazed at how beautiful the videos looked and how they truly told a story of that couples day (I’m not kidding, we laughed at how we felt like we knew the couple because of how awesome the film was!). Fran came at a recommendation of our photographer (J. Benson Photography) and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision! Fran’s colleague, Michele, was also an incredible addition to our day. Between the two of them, we are confident we have an incredible film! Also, within DAYS of our wedding, we had a beautiful sneak peek of our film to share with our family and friends!

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!

Fran and team are truly phenomenal. From helping us ensure we were on track with the wedding planning to getting everything prepped/setup on the day of, Fran had everything and left nothing for us to worry about! Watching our highlight film brought me back to the day of the wedding and all the fun everyone was having. The quality of the video and sound were perfect. I truly couldn’t have asked for any better than Fran and team. I cannot wait to share the video with friends and family!! Highly recommended and truly the best!

Initially my husband and I were unsure whether or not we wanted a videographer and eventually decided to do it. We were not disappointed. Fran Gagnon captured our wedding day beautifully! We were actually surprised how much of the day he was able to capture, mostly because when it came time for the ceremony and reception, we were thrilled by how unobtrusive it was. He managed to let us and our guest enjoy our day, while capturing the heartfelt moments of the evening. The final product perfectly captured our wedding day, and we have enjoyed watching the highlights with our family and friends.

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 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!

Fran is wonderful! From our first meeting I knew he was our videography. He is very professional and extremely talented at what he does! He has a true passion for it. He sent us a teaser video a week after our wedding and it brought tears to our eyes with how beautiful it was. He captured the love and emotion in the video for us on our special day. We couldn't be happier!

When we went through the planning process the advice I received time and time again was to get a videographer. Many of the couples I had talked to said they didn't and it was their biggest regret.

The day after our wedding, Fran sent us our trailer, and the fact that we got to relive our day only hours later was absolutely priceless. Now that we have received everything in our package from Feature Film, Raw Footage etc, I just can't believe the amount of details and scenes we would have missed if we didn't have Fran and Michelle there. Anyone who wants the comfort of knowing that their wedding day is being documented in quality hands, should go nowhere else but Fran Gagnon. From our initial consultation, to the day of where his system synced directly with our DJ's system for perfect sound, working with Fran was seamless and easy. I can't recommend him enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
