Forever Grateful for Elmtree Weddings

We cannot recommend Elmtree Weddings enough for wedding videography! Christian is absolutely incredible; kind, personable, and truly talented. He worked seamlessly with our photographers and captured every single special moment of our day without ever feeling intrusive.

We are beyond thrilled with our highlight film. It’s so beautifully crafted that it feels like we’re watching our own wedding movie. On top of that, Christian also captured our ceremony, dances, speeches, and private vows, which is such a priceless gift to have.

We’ve already watched our videos over and over, always with tears in our eyes and huge smiles on our faces. Choosing Christian and Elmtree Weddings was one of the very best decisions we made, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple looking for a wedding videographer!

Hire them now!

I can't say enough good things about Christian and his team. I knew for years that when I got married I would want them to photograph my wedding. Christian was the photographer/ videographer for my cousins wedding years before and I remember not even noticing a photographer that day, and yet getting gorgeous photos. Fast forward to our wedding and Elmtree was the first vendor we booked once we set a date and picked a venue. From the very beginning, he was responsive, helpful and flexible. He even helped us make a timeline for our wedding day. He took the time to listen to what details we would want captured and learn what was important to us. We got married during one of the busiest wedding seasons and he still made us feel like his only priority when he was working with us. On the wedding day, Christian and his team were so helpful, anticipating needs and even bringing us waters when we were shooting outside. They didn't over- pose us and encouraged us to dance, or hug and after a while we forgot that the cameras were even there. The photos came out beautifully and the video is a work of art. The end product really shows the effort, care, and passion that he puts into his work. We re- live the day every time we look at them. We couldn't be happier that we chose Christian to capture our day. The service was worth every penny.

Amazing wedding videography

As we were planning for our wedding, my husband and I had decided not to spring for wedding videography. As we communicated this to our families, next thing we know my brother and sister in law had decided to gift us videography as it was their favorite thing from their wedding. I am so grateful they did because the video that Christian produced for us is such a special treasure. It captures elements of our wedding that were so special to us that photography cannot - including my aunt officiating, our vows, and speeches. The way that christian integrated spoken words with music and video is truly special. He is amazingly talented at what he does and we would highly recommend him to anyone considering videography. He even brought a drone with him to capture some incredible images of the venue. Oh, and his second videographer was awesome too. Highly recommend!!

We Couldn't Be Happier

Working with Elm Tree Weddings for our engagement and wedding photos was an amazing experience! They understood exactly what we were going for in terms of style & the story we wanted to tell and captured the moments perfectly. Kiah, who took our engagement photos, made us feel so at ease in front of the camera which was really helpful for us since we'd never been professionally photographed before. Both Christian and Kiah were there on our wedding day and together they were a dream team! They have an amazing artistic eye for making the best of out each shot and were incredibly creative! From finding on-site props to accentuate the photos (wildflowers for our flat spreads, foliage to use in the foreground of shots) to getting the lighting and framing "just right" - we were just blown away by their talent. And on top of it they were lovely people to work with! Kind, accommodating, and very professional. We couldn't be happier with the finished images and have received so many compliments on them from family and friends. We highly recommend booking them for your wedding, you won't be disappointed!

Very enjoyable experience with the BEST wedding photographers!

Christian and Robert were an absolute pleasure to work with! They were very accommodating, professional, helpful and fun! We had a great time shooting with them on our June wedding day in the Catskills and they made it even more enjoyable with their creativity and inspiration! Our photos came out excellent and so beautiful that we can't stop looking through them so we were very pleased with our decision to go with Elmtree Weddings for our wedding photography! We would definitely recommend them - you won't be disappointed!

Capturing the Moments

We are so happy that we chose Elmtree to capture our wedding day. From our first conversation, we knew that this was the team for us. They were incredibly friendly, detailed, and efficient. Our pictures turned out amazing and the video is fantastic. They really captured the aura of the whole day in an 8 minute video, simply amazing. Depending on your venue, I would highly recommend the drone footage as it adds a special element to the video that can't be captured otherwise. They were never in the way and you never felt like they were pushy to our guests. It's incredible the candid shots that I had no idea they were even there. They are true professionals and we're so happy we chose them for our special day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
