VA-CO Sept 5 2020

West was recommended to us by our photographer. (He is also married to Rachael who did our hair and makeup.) Our photographer described him as a "good ole boy from down south" SOLD. We love good southern hospitality. West saved the day after Rachael made a phone call by going above and beyond his duties and stopping on his way in to grab the girls White Claws because all we had to drink was champagne, and that was giving me a stomachache. I knew right then I had made a good choice. Our wedding video turned out AMAZING! I think I have watched like 8 times. It was also delivered less than a month after our wedding which is unheard of. I highly recommend West and Hickory Grove Pictures for all of your videography needs!

Great Videographer!

West did a phenomenal job videoing my daughters wedding. He was a great addition to the wedding party and we were thrilled with the video. I have watched it many times and still tear up in parts of it.

Educational Consultant

Outstanding and personalized service. Great attention to detail. Always available to assist and give advice. West became part of our celebration and we are still enjoying his video. We are from Chicago and finding Hickory Grove Pictures was one of our greatest successes. I would fly him to Chicago for any of our events.

Amazing wedding video! So worth it!

We weren't sure if we were going to hire a videographer but we are so glad we did! The video turned out amazing and the drone footage really captured the beauty of our wedding day and the Colorado scenery. We have watched our wedding video a hundred times and are so thankful for Hickory Grove Pictures!

So glad we hired West to capture our Pandemic Wedding!!

We hired West prior to the pandemic when we planned to have a much larger wedding celebration. When we decided to go ahead with our original wedding date on a much smaller scale, we knew keeping our videographer would help us share our special day with those who could not attend. We cannot stop watching our video!! The turnaround was 3 weeks and it was such a fun surprise to see in our inbox! He also captured some still shots that we can't stop getting compliments on! West is professional but personable! He is very experienced with his equipment. Our guests said they had no idea a drone was flying overhead to film our venue. He got the important footage without being in the way. We communicated the importance of capturing a First Look and sunset pictures and West made both of those moments happen seamlessly! Would highly recommend West! We hired his wife for hair/makeup and they are a great team!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
