The best, most fun videographers who go above and beyond

We can't say enough great things about Maddy and Felicia. We loved their energy from the minute we Zoomed with them, and their beautiful work -- showcased across their social media and website -- speaks for itself.

My now-husband and I hired them to film our wedding video. Months before the big day, they drove to LA to get to know us and shoot an engagement video. It ended up being extra special because we were able to put the video on display at our venue for wedding night itself. In the month ahead of the wedding itself, they also had us fill out a form and did a follow-up call so they knew what to expect / what vibe we were hoping to go for.

They were extremely professional but also very fun fun, and made us feel at ease as they shot the wedding. Fast forward to after the wedding, they quickly sent the most stunning teaser video that hd us crying that the wedding was over and reliving the fun all over again.

We can't wait to see our feature film and the 8 MM film, and are telling everyone we know getting married in CA area to book these two ASAP.

Talent Video Duo!

My husband and I worked with I HEART per the recommendation of our wedding planner as we wanted wedding videos that captured the color and cheer of our Indian wedding. Admittedly we are not very serious people and a lot of wedding videos we had seen were overly dramatic and we much prefer something lighthearted and fun. After reviewing the work of Madi and Felicia we knew that they fit the bill! Their style is truly unique as they do an excellent job creating a summary of the big day with visuals and sounds that are vibrant, upbeat and positive (the super 8 films they offer are super cool!) You cannot help but to both smile/laugh while also feeling all the warmth and romance of a more traditional wedding film. All our friends and family were in awe of the wedding film and said it was the best they had seen! Moreover, Madi and Felicia have such fun yet calm personalities which reduce your wedding day stress on the day of and months later allow you to feel comfortable to give any feedback on the finished product. We highly recommend their services and would not hesitate to hire them for a future event! :D

Exceptional, Inspiring, Talented, Perfection!

EXPERIENCE
My wife and I hired Maddy and Felicia for videography services at our vineyard wedding in the Hamptons.
The second we met them in person, we instantly fell in love with their uplifting personalities and down-to-earth demeanors.
Honestly, we could not have imagined a more perfect experience working with videographers on our wedding day. They were consistently professional, while also maintaining this out-of-this-world infectious energy throughout the entire day and night. They are also hilarious…which my wife and I seriously appreciated. Their personalities and sense of humor were perfect matches for us and kept us laughing during times that we would have otherwise pulled our hair out!
We never once felt uncomfortable, awkward, uneasy, or crowded by their presence. On the contrary, we felt more like we made two new best friends, added two members to our bridal party and were given support, reassurance and laughter constantly from these two amazing people.
DELIVERABLES
Felicia and Maddy delivered our wedding trailer 3 days after our wedding! I honestly can’t say enough about how amazing this trailer is….it is literally PERFECTION.
We have received hundreds of comments on this trailer from strangers to professionals in the film/tv industry who constantly express how impressed they are with the quality and musicality and how blown away everyone is with how perfectly they captured the love shared on that day.
I may be biased but I truly believe this trailer is one of the greatest pieces of art I have ever seen!
We just received our feature wedding video and our expectations have been EXCEEDED once again! There is literally no possible way to put into words or accurately describe the level of talent and skill Maddy and Felicia possess.
My wife and I will absolutely never use anyone else for videography services in the future and will 100% fly Felicia and Maddy across the country to provide these services again for our next event!

The best of the best!

Maddy and Felicia are the most fun, wonderful photographers and videographers! Their priorities are for their clients to relax and feel comfortable in front of their cameras, and they easily accomplished both of these goals. My fiancé and I just received our engagement photos and video back from I Heart My Groom, and we are thrilled with the results. We have beautiful photographs and video footage to commemorate this special time before we get married, and I'm so thankful to Felicia and Maddy for doing this for us! I highly recommend them without any reservations -- they are the coolest and you won't be disappointed.

Amazing Photographers and Videographer!

Maddy and Felicia (AKA I Heart My Groom) photographed a friend’s wedding and after looking at the photographs from that wedding we knew we had to go with them! They have such a wonderful way of capturing the way each couple and relationship are unique. All of their photos are simply beautiful and their videography is incredible. Especially when comparing to how other videographers put videos together, it is obvious that they totally knock it out of the park.


Between the two of them they are definitely the dynamic duo! They are so much fun to be around and have such high energy and passion for what they do. You can totally tell they are best friends and it really makes you feel like you are one of the group. And it is because they are so in sync with each other that they know exactly where they need to be and when they need to be there to take the best possible shot. They have a special way of making you feel right at ease, even if you aren’t very “camera friendly.” It is amazing how they are so quick, efficient, and passionate yet still manage to have fun and bring you along for the ride.


Maddy and Felicia are very organized and you can tell that they know what they are doing; it’s one thing to be talented photographers but it is a whole other ballgame when trying to photograph a wedding. They helped us set up a timeline for the day of so that they could get the best shots while still making sure we got what we wanted out of the wedding day, took charge to make sure everyone got in the photo that needed to be, and knew where to go to get the best pictures.


Long story short: Maddy and Felicia are one of the best in the business. They not only take amazing photographs and videos but will help to make sure everything will go as smooth as possible. Come for the photos and leave with lifelong friends!

The dynamic duo! I first met Maddy and Felicia at a bridal convention in Santa Barbara and knew right away they were the photographers we were looking for (I literally spent 10 minutes admiring the images they had out on display, then at least double that chatting away with them). Not only are they outgoing and SUPER FUN, but they are extremely talented. We hired them to shoot our wedding, but before then, they took our engagement pics. WOW. Perfection. Have you ever cried looking at an image (in a good way HAHA)?!?! Our engagement pictures were flawless - they knew where to take us, what time to go based on light, worked around our schedules to line up the shoot, suggested the right clothing and props, and nailed the "vision" I had for our shots. POW! Needless to say, over the months between our engagement shoot and wedding, we kept in constant contact. And, as our wedding approached, there was not one ounce of concern as to how they'd handle our big day. In fact, on our wedding day, they were the "calm" I needed amongst the chaos of the day. They were always smiling, directing us on how to pose, etc., ensuring all our 'must have' shots were taken (timing everything to a T), making us laugh, and looking for creative ways to bring our wedding to life in the images we received. If you have the ability, I would HIGHLY suggest doing their photo booth - it was SO much fun and went so smooth. At the last minute, my husband and I decided we wanted to hire a videographer, so we asked Maddy and Felicia for a suggestion. Well little did I know, THEY DO THAT TOO! Like I said, they are the dynamic duo! We just received our wedding pictures and - as we knew - they are PERFECT. Again, I was in happy tears ;) I look forward to working with them for eva eva. Love you two, and THANK YOU again for everything you do/did for us!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
