James did our wedding video and was amazing. He was very on top of his game and made up for us being lost during the weeks before the wedding and uncommunicative with him. We didn't give him much if any direction and yet his final highlight video was amazing. We are more than thrilled with him and his work. We also got a ton of compliments from our guests saying that they barely noticed he was even there. Not only was he friendly with us on the day and always smiling, he was incredibly professional and clearly loved what he was doing making our day a lot smoother. My wife and I couldn't recommend him enough.

James was our wedding videographer this past August, and we could not be any happier with his being there and the videos we have now to enjoy and share of the best day of our lives. When we received the highlight film from James, I was honestly blown away. It was done so beautifully and so professionally, just perfect. We would highly recommend James to anyone we know! Very friendly and easy to work with as well.

James was perfect. Easy to work with and very professional. He was so seamless during the ceremony that we didn't realize he was there! The film he produced of our wedding was so beautiful...it truly told our story! We will cherish it forever! He is the best of the best!

Mr. James Drake was an amazing person to work with and have the pleasure of getting to know. One of the experiences that I had that I truly appreciated was when my wife and I were facing the possibility of a government shut down which would have left me the sole income of the household. Mr. Drake was willing to work with us and even be able to move to another date if we needed to. Other companies that I know of would not have cared if we shut down or what was going on. I truly appreciated the fact that he was willing to work with us and was very understanding of the situation. Thankfully the government did not shut down and we were able to carry out our wedding. Once my wife and I saw the video we were both in tears at how amazing and beautiful it was. I highly recommend Mr. Drake to anyone that wants their moment captured. Thank you again Mr. Drake. We wish you the best in the future.

Most brides are stressed during wedding planning. As an actress, I decided that I wanted have a my wedding done as a production with actors, lines, blocking & etc in addition to the more traditional wedding components. As you can imagine, I was stressed to the max. However it all came together perfectly. Everyone told me what a lovely and creative wedding I had but as the bride I missed seeing how everything actually came together on the wedding day. Thanks to Drake Media I was able to visually experience my wedding after receiving the amazing video shot and edited by Drake Media. Having your special day captured by a caring professional makes a world of difference. Any bride thinking about hiring a videographer strongly consider Drake Media. Someone told me as I began budgeting for my wedding to make the main investments in your memories i.e.: videography, photography, & honeymoon. After walking down the aisle myself, I would give that same advice to anyone else gearing up for this wonderful journey called marriage :)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
