We hired DeGroot Film Co. for our wedding in Baileys Harbor, WI on June 4, 2022. Katie and Devin were amazing to work with and the wedding photos and videos they delivered are incredible beyond words. We were extremely impressed with their portfolio and from our first video call, we felt their excitement for us and their work. They traveled for hours (with their baby, who was only a few months old at the time!) to take our engagement photos in negative 19 degree weather. We had never taken professional photos before, and Katie’s coaching helped us feel natural and have fun during our shoot. The portal and planning documents they provided were easy to use and helped us both plan for the wedding day and keep everyone organized on the day of the wedding. The team was extremely personable and helped everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera while simultaneously being assertive and keeping us on schedule, ensuring we got every shot we wanted. Our wedding album and videos are stunning. Looking through our photo album I can’t believe how many little moments they captured; our personalities and love shine through in every photo, and we love seeing all the happy moments our guests experienced. During our wedding many guests commented on how professional and organized the DeGroot Film Co. team was - they were unobtrusive yet extremely thorough. The video editing is done perfectly and we look forward to reliving this day over and over through their beautiful work. Our wedding day was a dream, and we’re in awe of how beautifully DeGroot Film Co. captured every moment. If you’re not hiring DeGroot Film Co., you’re doing something wrong.

My husband and I decided last minute to hire a videographer for our wedding after some important friends and family members were unable to attend our wedding in person. Our wedding planner reached out to her connections to see if anyone was available - and thankfully Katie from DeGroot Film Co responded that they could make a last minute booking work! Katie and Hannah filmed our day. Based on some of the sneak peeks, I can't wait to see the final product!! I was blown away. It is going to be so special to share the video coverage with our families and friends; as well as for us to have forever as a couple. Katie and Hannah were friendly and professional; they worked well with our existing photography team, despite being thrown into the mix just a few days before. They gave us clear directions with posing, and since we aren't natural supermodels, this was super helpful. I can't tell them enough how much it meant to me that they were there with us to document the best day of our lives.

Katie and Devin left us speechless, in the very best possible way. Capturing our wedding celebration with both film and photo, we felt that they were the biggest blessing of our day. They captured the love, joy, laughter, emotion, and happiness of our day. Their work is flawless, and uses natural light to highlight the best features and locations. The photography is romantic, whimsical, natural, sexy, and sultry. Looking at our photos, we feel like a million bucks! Most of all, we can SEE our love. We know that these moments will last a life time.
When it comes to video, it was by far the most valuable part of our day. To hear each other's voices, see what happened behind the scenes, and to watch our loved ones celebrate, there just are no words. The video will live with us when we are old and our memories start to fade. It will be our personal vessel to travel back in time and fall in love all over again. Having our parents' voices on the video warms our hearts knowing we will always be able to hear and see them. If you're a bride and you think you can't afford videography- my best advice: MAKE. IT. HAPPEN. It's worth every penny and you won't regret it.

Our experience before the wedding was just as wonderful as the day of. Katie is top notch with communication. She is organized and has great tips on how to have a wedding day run smoothly (isn't that what we all want?). Her and Devin were professional, timely, fun, and helped us 'look naturally romantic' - something we giggle about because we are two people NOT used to PDA or an 'audience' while feeling lovey-dovey.

Katie and Devin, I could write a novel. We appreciate you, we love you and we will forever and always sing your praises to all couples!
