Captured Our Day Perfectly!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding videographer. From the very beginning, Chris was incredibly kind, positive, and genuinely invested in getting to know us as a couple. Since we were planning a destination wedding in the Outer Banks, it meant so much that he took the time to meet us for coffee beforehand and get to know a little bit about our relationship and style. Such a thoughtful touch that immediately put us at ease!

On the wedding day, Chris was in the right place at the right time, capturing all the big moments and so many small, meaningful ones we didn’t even realize were happening. He has such a calming presence and made everything feel natural and effortless! Even our guests and family members praised how sweet he is!

When it came to the final videos, we were absolutely blown away. He clearly took his time in the editing process, and it shows. Every detail felt intentional, and he perfectly captured our classic, romantic, and timeless vision. It’s something we will cherish forever. In just the short amount of time we have had the footage, we have been able to have viewing parties with family and friends. They are brought to tears! The full film perfectly captures our day, which was especially important to us since some guests could not travel for our wedding. Chris even sent us the cutest package in the mail, including a keepsake flash drive and polaroid pictures...absolute perfection for our heirloom box!

If you’re looking for someone who is not only talented but also truly cares about you as a couple, we cannot recommend Chris enough!

An Impeccable Talent for Capturing Emotion & Storytelling

Chris is an absolute pleasure to work with and possesses an impeccable talent for storytelling. He went beyond simply filming events; he captured the soul of our celebration, paying close attention to the laughter, the conversations, and the tender, intimate moments between family and friends.
From epic drone shots of our venue to the subtle emotional details, his artistic style is unmatched. We have already watched our preview video over 20 times and are still in awe. You cannot put a price on the ability to relive the love and fun of your big day, and thanks to Chris’s professionalism and skill, we have these memories preserved forever.

The Best Decision We Made – Heart’s Home Films Gave Us Memories for a Lifetime!

We were initially on the fence about having a wedding video, but looking back, we can confidently say it was one of the best decisions we made. The videos Chris created are absolutely priceless—we haven’t stopped watching them since we received them! Every time we press play, we are instantly transported back to the emotions, the laughter, and the pure joy of our wedding day.

Chris was such a joy to work with from start to finish. He blended in seamlessly with our group, capturing every special moment without ever making us feel like we were being filmed. That in itself is such a rare talent, and it allowed us to be completely present and natural throughout the day. The way he told our story through his lens is simply breathtaking, and we will cherish these videos forever.

If you’re on the fence about wedding videography—this is your sign to do it. And if you’re looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also warm, professional, and an absolute pleasure to be around, Chris is the one. We can’t thank him enough for giving us these beautiful memories to relive again and again!

Lasting Memories

Hearts Home Films was amazing! Chris and Ksenia traveled to Banner Elk to shoot our wedding. It was so fun to work with them! They created two films that captured our wedding beautifully. We are so happy we hired them as our videographer and we highly recommend them!

Couldn’t have asked for more

Chris and his wife, Susha, did an incredible job with our wedding video! We booked Chris years before our wedding date, but throughout that entire time he was responsive and excited to help us capture every special moment of our wedding. Our Hindu-American fusion wedding had multiple events throughout the week, some of which we asked Chris to capture as well. He was very flexible with his schedule and made every effort to attend our special Sangeet earlier in the week. His mustache is also 🔥 We received our teaser video and we’re practically in tears - we cannot wait to see the rest of the footage!

Phenomenal Service

I’ll be honest we had no idea what to expect when it came to working with a videographer. However, Chris is extremely talented and truly made this process so easy. We planned and booked all of our vendors about 8 to 10 months in advance and then we were honestly a bit hands off in our communication. When we finally reconnected about 4-6 weeks prior to the wedding Chris and his wife presented a brief questionnaire. From that they developed a solid plan and day of timeline that gave us peace of mind! On the day of the wedding they arrived early and scooped out the venue. Chris seamlessly moved throughout the flow of the day and I hardly realized he was there most of the time! So far we’ve seen one sneak peek of the footage he’s captured and it was hands down exceptional!!! We had a very intimate wedding and my worry was that our photos and videos would portray an “empty” venue and not the intimacy that we intended. From what we have seen thus far, Chris has down a fantastic job with capturing angles and lighting that made sure the intimacy shows through! Chris and his wife have years of experience and knowledge! They go above and beyond to ensure you don’t have to worry about your videos. Honestly if it wasn’t for their expertise we would have never finalized a day of timeline! Thank you Chris for capturing our day! Can’t wait to see the full video! Highly recommend !!!

Best videographer ever

Chris truly made our dreams come true with our wedding video. We could not have pictured a more perfect video to capture our day. Chris was such a calm presence on the day of the wedding, and even helped fix my hair before filming! Trust me, booking Heart Homes Film will be the best thing you ever did for your wedding! Thank you so much Chris!!

Highly recommended!!

When we started our search for a videographer we were trying to decide between a movie like video or more of a personal video with vows and voices in it. My husband and I are so happy we went with Heart’s Home Films! Now for a lifetime to come we will be able to listen to our vows, our ceremony and all the most important party’s of our wedding day. Chris was so personable and easy to work with. He made sure to capture all of our important parts of our day. Chris helped me adjust my time to ensure we could capture the most of our day. We are forever thankful we hired Heart’s home films!💕
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
