The Absolute best....this is your videographer

You NEED Ian at your wedding. TLDR. He is incredible. I am not easily pleased and he did it. I love our video!! Perfect, doesn't even do our video justice. I am incredibly picky, I can find things that I do not care for in almost everything, I am a perfectionist and I am also super creative, so I often have visions for things that people fall short on. Going into our wedding, I was hesitant to use Heart of the Lens, because there weren't many reviews. But it was a really great price, so I took a chance. Oh my god, I am so glad I did. Ian was the hardest working person at the wedding by far. He was running around everywhere, trying to get everything. I have no idea how he was doing it. He was so kind and friendly and I felt extremely comfortable speaking with him. He was honest and just a really good person. To start out he needed to add money for a travel fee because I am far away (which was on his website, so I was expecting/knew of prior to contacting him) But he made sure to explain the extra money and to make sure I knew what the pricing was and why. I just thought this was so great and transparent. Then we got our videos. My highlight video is PERFECT. This was the thing I was looking forward to the most and to be honest, I wasn't expecting him (or anyone) to be able to match what my vision was for it. I even gave him instructions before (very vague), I said "I want it to start out slow and special and then kick up and be exciting and then end slow again." Honestly, they weren't even good instructions but he NAILED it, completely nailed it. I don't even know how he got half the shots he got. He was not intrusive to the event at all, he worked wonderfully with our photographers and the footage he got, I just can't believe it. The creative touches he put on were perfect. I have watched it 25 times. When I looked up after watching it the first time, all I said was its perfect. My husband was shocked, this was the first thing from our wedding that I absolutely loved. Book Ian, you will not be disappointed. I feel my review does not do him justice because of how pleased I was and how incredibly happy he made me. He gave me something that I cannot wait to show our kids and revisit on our anniversaries. The one thing my husband and I kept talking about the day after our wedding was how hard Ian was working. Also the whole wedding party and guests are still talking about how great he was and helpful he was with helping them pose and do things. His energy and personality also cannot be beat. He is the whole package. I mean look at the reviews here they are all saying the same thing, he is your guy. Thank you Ian, I cannot even begin to express my gratitude to you.

The perfect experience!

We have so much to say about Ian! Ian was our videographer for our wedding on 11/2/19 at the Grand Geneva Resort and Spa. He honestly blew us away with his professionalism and ability to create such an amazing wedding video. He truly captured everything we asked him to capture and went above and beyond what we asked of him. We also hired him a little over a month before our wedding and while we were a little hesitant because of our last minute decision to hire a videographer, he made us feel comfortable with our choice in hiring him. He was extremely detailed and was able to understand exactly what we were looking for.
On the day of the wedding he did a perfect job. He worked well with our photographer and just knew exactly what he was doing. He took direction well (barely needed any direction) and was super polite and genuine.
He produced an AMAZING video of our wedding day. I cried, my husband cried, our families cried, and we now have a video that we can watch that helps us relive our perfect day.
I would honestly be happy to recommend Heart of Lens to anyone for any occasion! Thank you Ian for being so wonderful! We hope to work with you again one day for other events!

Highly Recommend!

I would definitely recommend Heart of the Lens Productions to anyone who is looking for high quality, beautiful video production for any special occasion! Ian did an outstanding job filming our wedding in August 2019. He was incredibly professional and is clearly a master of the craft! We now have a beautiful video of our wedding ceremony and reception that we will cherish and be able to watch for years to come. Thank you Ian for capturing our special day!
