Amazing - 10/10 would book again!
My photographer recommended adding Patrick to our wedding and at first I wasnʻt sure if I wanted to have videography as it wasnʻt in the budget and I had already made peace with the fact that I wouldn't have one. Well after talking to my fiancé (now husband) he told me we should just do it lol so we played around with the budget and were able to squeeze and make it work! With that being said, it was the BEST DECISION we could have made!!!!!!! Patrick, along with our Photographer Jay, flew to Hawaiʻi to capture our big day! They met with us at the hotel room and got some amazing getting ready shots, then went to our venue to capture the rest of the wedding. I will say that I love photographs but having them and the amazing video by Patrick really allows us to go back and essentially re-live the moments!
COMMUNICATION - 10/10:
I am a very laid back bride so I didn't actually contact Patrick much at all after I paid my initial deposit. He reached out to me a few weeks before the wedding and asked to do a zoom call with us to confirm information and also discuss what we wanted overall in our video. He was very well spoken and kind to us throughout. No complaints.
WEDDING DAY - 10/10:
I met Patrick the day of my wedding in person for the first time. He was energetic and eager to start filming immediately which I appreciated! He kept the vibe up and made all of us laugh with his ideas (i.e. Okay bride now walk to that window like you own it, sway those hips like you mean it, etc). When he would ask me to do something specific, I really liked that if I was doing it awkwardly or incorrectly he was quick to jump in and show me exactly what the vision was. This is the perfect videographer for brides who are not models lol not everybody knows how to move their body or pose the right way to get the best results so it's SOOOOO important for videographers to help us, and especially in a kind way like Patrick does.
PRICE - 10/10:
Full disclosure that we did get a discounted rate as he was building his portfolio in Hawaiʻi weddings at the time so we were able to afford it but 100% he would have been worth every penny if we paid his normal rate.
VIDEO RECEIVED - 1000/10:
After the wedding I figured I wouldn't have heard about our video for at least 6 weeks because thatʻs pretty standard for turnaround time so I was SHOCKED to have received a teaser video the next day at 8:00am!! The teaser was so gorgeous that when I showed friends and family they thought it was the whole video and said it was beautiful 😂 but I loved that I could share it on Instagram right then and all of my friends and family who weren't at the wedding could see it! We did receive the entire video just over 5 weeks later though and it was perfection!! Furthermore, I mentioned to him that I was so sad I didn't have a video of just our dance because nobody videoed the whole thing or got a decent angle. I asked if he happened to have a longer clip he could send us and he kindly put together a video of just our dance in its entirety. Again, another stunning video that iʻll love forever!!
Thank you SO much Patrick for making our day special and making me feel so beautiful through your lens. You are the best!!
