Talented Videographer Who Made Us Feel At Ease

We loved working with Henry and his team as our wedding videographers. He was with us for much of the weekend, making sure every important moment was beautifully captured. Most importantly, he made us feel completely at ease — and as camera-shy people, we never once felt uncomfortable. When he sent us the teaser video, we were blown away by how stunning it was. Our family and friends have all loved watching it and reliving the day right alongside us!

A Master of His Craft

We spent a lot of time trying to find the right videographer and Henry was actually one of our earliest conversations. We wanted to make sure we talked to everyone, but it was clear after that first conversation with Henry that he was someone we wanted to work with.

His professionalism, communication, and overall work as a videographer are simply unmatched. Henry's videos did such an amazing job of storytelling and painting a complete picture of the day and the personalities of the newly weds.

As soon as we got our video we watched it a minimum of 10 times, it was absolutely stunning in terms of quality and production (go watch a couple on his website and you'll see it right away). At times I had to remember that it was my beautiful wife and I on the screen we were watching and not some movie star I don't know the name of.

Henry thank you for everything! You truly are a master of your craft and someone I couldn't recommend enough. I hope to one day find a reason to hire you again! Thank you for documenting our special day in the most beautiful way possible.

Henry is one of a kind! HIRE HIM!

I'm writing this review as a full-service wedding planner who recently worked with Henry for a client's wedding and I can not sing his praises enough! Henry is beyond talented, I've admired his work for a while and I was THRILLED to be working with him for my client's wedding weekend!

Not only is Henry hilarious, but he's a kind, genuine soul that brings a true sense of ease on a day that can feel high-stress with a ton of moving parts. It's very clear he's dedicated to his art and loves what he does, I can't wait to see the final video I know it's going to make me emotional and capture their entire day perfectly! I HIGHLY recommend Henry and his talented team, I can't wait for the next opportunity to work together and will be referring him to all of my clients!

Best Videography Around

Where do I even begin? When we started the planning process for our wedding, we knew we wanted someone who could capture the day perfectly and that ended up being Henry. He went above and beyond to make sure he was able to tell our story in the most special way. We cannot be more grateful for the gift he has given us - a lifetime of memories. Cannot recommend him enough for your wedding! You will not be let down, trust me. Thanks Henry!!

Henry is a true artist!

Words simply cannot describe how wonderful it has been to work with Henry as our wedding videographer. Planning and executing a wedding during the pandemic was stressful, but Henry certainly wasn't a part of that stress and actually worked to alleviate it as much as he could. Henry was an integral part of our wedding planning process -- he answered our many questions quickly and thoroughly, and he even attended our venue's final walkthrough so he could visualize and prepare for shooting the day. He worked well with our photographer and made shooting a wedding throughout an entire day, in multiple locations, seem effortless. He was a joy to be around on our wedding day and has continued to be great to work with since; he is so kind. Henry is a seasoned and knowledgeable wedding expert and artist, and he is truly a master at his craft. He captured even the most minute of details that made our wedding day so special. The highlights film he produced for us is immaculate and so tastefully done. We haven't stopped watching it since we got it! We also purchased the documentary edits of our ceremony and reception and are eagerly awaiting those as we know they will undoubtedly be fantastic. There is no one else you should hire as your videographer if you're looking for a film that is authentic to your wedding day -- Henry is the best there is.

Incredible - Don't hesitate to work with Henry!

Henry Wu was incredible to work with, from start to finish. We first met him at a bar for drinks, and instantly got good vibes. He was incredibly thoughtful and provided us with insights that we didn't think of - like that he worked with our photographers to ensure they wouldn't be in each other's way on the day of the wedding. He was an absolute gem to work with - our final products came out amazing. We have evidence of one of the most special days of our lives that was beautifully and artistically captured - I would book him again in a hearbeat. Thanks for everything Henry!

Beyond thrilled with our video!

I knew from a few videos that Henry's style was everything I was looking for in a videographer. But seeing my own video has absolutely blown be away. He is so talented and captured the day's emotions in the most beautiful way. Patting myself on the back at the wonderful decision I made :)

The best wedding videographer in the Midwest

We LOVE all of the videos produced by HWu Studios! We worked with Henry's associate team for shooting the wedding (they were great - capturing great shots / angles without being in the way at all) and then Henry produced the finish products. We highly recommend him, his team and their collective work. My wife and I are so glad we got video in addition to photography - as my wife said, "it brings life to all of the photos and brings me back much more." Stop thinking about it and get it with Henry.

Henry is an absolute MUST for your wedding videographer

First of all, Henry is INCREDIBLY talented. He came as a STRONG recommendation from a friend who had used him in their wedding and when I saw his work, I almost immediately knew I wanted to work with him. When we met him for coffee, he was extremely attentive and asked questions to really get to know my husband and me to film the most authentic and beautiful wedding video. To say he captured the most special day of our lives so beautifully doesn't even do it justice. He truly exceeded all of our expectations; we were absolutely blown away. Several of our friends and even people we didn't know that well who saw it on FB said it brought tears to their eyes how beautiful it was. It truly was beyond anything either of us could have imagined. He really pays attention to what's important to you, your partner, and the overall sentiment/mood of the video that you want. If you are considering hiring Henry for your wedding videographer, do it, you will not be disappointed.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
