Wedding 2.0💍

We had the pleasure of working with Rick and Tiffany! They were so nice, asking us where we would want photos, who we want photos with, and so flexible with us!
We were married back in 2018 and we decided to have a big wedding with family and friends ! Our families have never met over the 10 years we have been together. We wanted to have our families meet and they were able to capture the families with us . We loved taking photos with all of our friends and families ! They took us around the Aqua Turf to take photos , they took requests if we wanted them, and they made it fun!
We look forward to the photos and showing them to our children , who were able to be a part of our wedding 2.0! We would love to hire Marsal Studios again for a future event !
The photo I uploaded was not from Marsal Studios, since we haven’t received them yet, but it was taking by my mother in law.

Amazing Videographer group!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about the Videography company. They went above and beyond to capture any moments we requested and any they thought of. They stayed out of the way, you didn’t even know they were there. The owner Rick even came to the venue during the rehearsal the day before to scope out the area and meet us in person, so that he was prepared for the day of. They had 3 people there the day of the wedding to make sure every piece was covered and stayed all the way to the end of the entire night. I cannot wait to see the video they put together in a couple weeks. Genuine, kind, funny people, that really enhanced the getting ready process and felt like friends. I would 1000% recommend this company to anyone looking for someone to go above and beyond to capture a once in a lifetime memory. You will not be disappointed.

Friendly, committed, and talented!

We hired Rick and Virginia for our engagement and wedding photos, and they were fantastic! On the day of our wedding we were running behind schedule, but they were very flexible and were able to complete our first look and all of our requested wedding party photos in a very short time. We ordered the full day package, and they arrived while we were getting ready and stayed through the last dance. I can't believe how many beautiful photos they captured over the day, from our romantic posed photos to the impromptu breakdance session on the dance floor. In addition to their high quality work, Virginia and Rick are just good, friendly people. They were so fun to work with, and my dad really enjoyed chatting with them. I wish that I lived in the area, so that I could work with them again.

Top Notch Dream Team

We used Virginia and Rick for our photos and videography! We met them at a Wedding Showcase and immediately knew they were the ones we wanted. They were warm and welcoming right from the start. Our pictures are amazing. The first time I looked through the proofs, I cried like a baby! One of the best things is when you book them, you book them for the day. Unlike other vendors, they don't give you a limit. My husband and his groomsmen/friends went golfing the morning of the wedding while the ladies got ready. Virginia and Rick split up, so there would be a photographer with both of us all morning. Rick drove from Wolcott where golfing was, to Farmington where the wedding was. Their assistant Angie was also amazing. Our video edits captured everything we had hoped and more. Not only does Rick do a highlight video, but you also get full ceremony and reception video. Everything they did was perfect and truly brought tears to our eyes. We used the open Photo Booth with from them too. Everyone's pics came out awesome! Marsal goes the extra mile. They knew the groom was in a band and they included Rock themed props at our Photo Booth. I highly recommend this team. THANK YOU for everything!

From the moment we met Rick and Virginia, we knew we wanted them to provide videography services for our wedding. In fact, they were the only vendor we signed a contract with on the spot. They’re an amazing couple who obviously have a passion for this business- between clicking with them and the excellent work they showed it was truly a no brainer. Throughout the wedding planning process, they were very organized and responsive which carried out to the wedding day. We had Rick and Angie with us all day, from getting ready to our final send off at the end of the night. They were excellent- professional, incredibly easy to work with, personable and calming during those stressful moments. They also had us do some pretty cool things for the video that came out awesome. So that’s the day of, but obviously the most important thing is the video itself. We got the video around 3 months later and the quality is absolutely incredible. Rick’s work speaks for itself. Our wedding video was amazing and his editing skills are top notch. He captured our day perfectly- watching the video was truly reliving the day again. We had so many emotions watching the video just like the day of. It really blew us away. There were so many details and personal touches, I think Rick and Virginia really make unique art (and I use the term art because that’s really what it is) based on the couple. There is nothing cookie cutter about their work. There was so much in the video that we missed on the day of because there was so much going on- anyone who is doubting if video is important I’m here to say it is a must and you will be in the best hands with Marsal Studios! Thank you Rick, Virginia, and Angie for being so great!

We could not have been happier with our decision to go with Marsal Studios as our photographer and videographer for our wedding. Virginia, Rick, and Zach were nothing short of a dream team. Prior to the wedding, Virginia was always quick to answer emails with any little question and took time to schedule meetings with us to go over every single detail. I always appreciated her opinions and feedback as sometimes there were things a bride just doesn’t think of. On the day of the wedding, the team was very organized when it came to knowing where we wanted our pictures shot, photographs we wanted to have, and the important parts of our video. We felt so comfortable with them. Virginia, Rick and Zach treated us and our family as though we were their own family. When we got our pictures back, we were beyond thrilled with the gorgeous shots the team had gotten. Every time we look through them, we find a new favorite. Our video was nothing short of perfection. There was a movie and a trailer as well as sections to watch the entire day: first look, ceremony, reception. It is so tasteful and I know years from now I’ll be so happy to watch it back. We would 100% recommend Marsal Studios and cannot say enough about what a great experience we had with Virginia, Rick, and Zach! We can’t thank them enough for capturing the special memories of the happiest day of our lives!

Virginia and her team were absolutely AMAZING!!! My husband I worked with her and her husband Rick since we got engaged - they did our pictures. Then I had Virginia and KerriAnn with me for the wedding day from the minute we woke up and my husband had Rick and his partner in crime Zach! The pictures that all all 4 of them took were amazing!! I cannot wait to continue using their services for the rest of my future family's adventures!!

We are absolutely thrilled with the photography service Virginia and Rick provided. They were professional, responsive, and so accommodating of
our needs. Of course, all of those things are important, but at the end of the day, you gotta have great pictures. And boy, did they deliver! Our photographs are just beautiful. They capture the joy and love that was present all day at our wedding. Every time I look at them I am transported back to that magical day.

Virginia and her husband Rick are the absolute best! Not only is Virginia extremely talented but also makes her clients feel like she has known them forever. She is quick and efficient when taking photos and gives great direction. Throughout our whole wedding reception, I could barley tell that Virginia and her husband were capturing our special day. Virginia was great to work with! Anyone who is looking for a photographer and/or videographer for any event, please call Marsal Studios. They are very professional and their work says it all!

Virginia, Rick, and the team at Marsal Studios are the absolute best!!! From the day we had our consultation, we knew we wanted to book them for our wedding on 9/24/16 (they were actually the only photo/video team we met with because we knew we wanted them right away). They were incredible during our engagement photoshoot, even rescheduling with zero problems when the hair and makeup I had done for the photos ended up looking pretty atrocious. The team kept in contact with us consistently from the time we booked them straight through to the wedding day (and even afterwards!), and we always knew exactly what was going on and what to expect. They showed up much earlier than we had expected for the wedding, came with amazing ideas for photos and our videos, and spent the entire day and night working tirelessly to capture as much as humanly possible. We had told them we wanted some formal photos with family, bridal party, etc before the ceremony (we also did a first look) and that for the cocktail hour and reception, we were looking for more of a "natural, candid" style. They followed that to a T and we truly didn't even realize they were there throughout the night! We were able to just have fun and celebrate with our guests without constantly being pulled aside for posed photos, and we couldn't have asked for anything more. We had a special request to get a large group photo on the dance floor with as many guests as possible, and Virginia literally climbed on top of a stepladder with her camera in tow just to get the shot we had asked for. Marsal Studios went so above and beyond for our wedding, and they did even more than we ever could have hoped for. We absolutely love Virginia and Rick, and I have already recommended them to people I know!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
