Alex from IQvideography, is not just your run-of-the-mill videographer, he is a ARTIST. It is ridiculous how good he is at what he does that I cannot simply just give him 5 stars and move on; I need every single person reading this review to just stop where they are and just hire Alex. You do not need to look any further... I'm serious. He will be the best decision you made for your wedding. Truly, you can thank me later. This review is a long time coming since our wedding was in November 2018. But better late than never, amirite? Read on for more details and me rambling about how amazing Alex is:
This whole journey started many years before I got married actually and I had come across some of Alex's highlight films from some of his previous weddings. I knew in that instant that whenever we finally decided to get married, that he would be the one. And when I meant, "the one" - I didn't mean my current husband, I meant our one true, meant-to-be videographer, of course. After all, you only get married once (not planning on doing this again), and looking back on these memories through video is the only way to hold onto those memories. Myself being from NYC and my husband from London, the fact that Alex was based in San Francisco was not a deterrent, I would have flown him out any day of the week to shoot my future wedding!
When I finally got engaged, I emailed Alex right away. And said that he was my first and only choice to be my videographer in the Dominican Republic. He gladly agreed, and let's just say the rest was history! He was easy to work with, in terms of our contract, and even being open to shooting our long double-wedding (Hindu & Buddhist) with a total of 6 events over 4 days. I'm sure we were not easy clients - let's just say I am a Type A bride with a Type A mother, but Alex was cool, calm and collected and was professional, helpful and understanding every step of the way!
Alex was flexible, funny and just a pleasure to work with the entire time. He was on time, worked with all of our vendors seamlessly and his partner Josh was also fantastic part of the team. I mean it is very clear Alex has had previous training as a ninja, and I think that it truly helped him be everywhere and nowhere at the same time to capture all the fantastic moments that we look back on so fondly.
We not only got compliments on our highlights video, but everyone truly though we were just trying to rival Crazy Rich Asians with our over-the-top South Asian wedding. Let's just say, Alex made us and our 4-day wedding look beyond beautiful and it was amazing to get to to share those moments with our friends and family who could not make it to our destination wedding.
Turnaround time for our deliverables was lightning quick, and much faster than expected. When I say that we cried, laughed, cried and laughed some more, it is an understatement. Our family could not believe how beautiful and seamless the transitions, music, speeches and quality of our film was. If perfection was an attainably quality in a videographer, Alex truly is perfection. His talent for storytelling, through video is unparalleled and if I could give Alex a million stars I would! Now we get to cry, laugh, and cry again for the next 50 anniversaries (hopefully more) to come when we rewatch our highlights and feature film. Alex, thank you for giving us the gift of these beautiful memories to look back on. We are forever thankful and grateful to have you shoot our wedding.
