Pirates Lane Video

We weren’t sure if wanted to hire a videographer for our wedding in August 2023, but we are SO glad that we did. Originally, it just seemed out of our budget because some of the videographers we looked at were so expensive. When we found Pirate’s Lane Video, Jim worked with us to create a custom package that included all the footage/videos we wanted at a price that worked within our budget. Besides fitting into our budget, Jim was also extremely nice and easy to work with. Before we signed the contract, he hopped on the phone with us to chat through his approach, allowed us to ask a ton of questions, and made us feel at ease. Another reason we hired Jim is because many of his online reviews mentioned that they didn’t notice him much on the wedding day (in a good way!). Sometimes, seeing a camera in your face and being reminded that you are being filmed may make you act differently and a bit less natural. Jim was able to capture every single moment of the day, and we barely noticed he was there. That is exactly what we wanted! He was also very flexible when we decided to add a video to our package AFTER the wedding. And probably most importantly, the final videos we received are absolutely amazing. All we can say is WOW! He is so talented and wonderfully arranged beautiful moments and footage with beautiful music. We could not be more pleased with his work. Do not hesitate to hire Pirate’s Lane Video for your wedding – you will be very happy that you did!

Jim and his team were so great and easy to work with. They faded into the background on the day but they captured every moment so beautifully! We also loved the add on options they had. The selfie camera was incredible and will be such a nice live guest book for the future. We also added on the edited raw footage which gave us most of the footage from the entire day, which we are really grateful to have. I cannot recommend them enough! They were great videographers!

I recently worked with Jim at Pirates Lane Video for my fall 2025 wedding. From the first inquiry, our communication was great. He got back to all of my emails quickly and answered every question I had. His prices were fair and he offered great add-ons which helped us ensure we had everything we wanted.
On the day of the wedding, he came ready to go with awesome energy. He got footage of everything from getting ready, to first look, to the ceremony, cocktail hour, speeches, dancing, and some awesome drone shots. The estimated time frame for our video was 6 months, but he sent it to us in 4 and a half! We absolutely loved our video as well as all the raw footage he sent us. We are so pleased and would recommend Jim to anyone!

Videography was something we tossed back and forth on, is it worth it? We already had a photographer booked and finally decided it was better to have it than regret it later if we didn’t get it. Let me tell you, it is worth it! Just look at Jim’s Instagram page, Pirates Lane Videography page gives you such amazing insight into Jim’s mind. His creative work stands out in itself! Our photographer and Jim worked so well together, side by side helping one another out and being respectful of each other’s crafts. We have yet to see our video from Jim, but we know without a doubt we will absolutely love it and are so excited to see Jim’s magic. He was such an incredible and important piece to our special day and cannot thank him enough for all he did. He was an absolute joy to work with and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for videography.

Jim did an absolutely phenomenal job capturing our wedding day in Plymouth this past August. Both me and my husband were in tears watching the documentary film and highlight reel! When Jim sent these over, we watched them both 2-3x back-to-back, we couldn’t get over how incredible they turned out.

Not only did Jim go above and beyond to arrive early to scope out the area prior to the wedding, but he also stayed until the close of the evening, which led to some really fun and memorable footage of our last dance of the night.

During the wedding itself, Jim has a way of blending into the background in the best way possible. He makes you feel at ease, and captures candid moments without guests realizing there are cameras around. His calming personality and clear expertise led to the most authentic and beautiful video. We’re so happy that Jim captured our wedding.

If you're considering hiring a videographer, make sure it’s Pirates Lane. It's one of the best decisions we made!!

We couldn't have asked for a better videographer than Jim! He was attentive, professional, and did such an incredible job capturing all of the special moments on our big day. We could not recommend him enough!

Jim was the ONLY videographer who would provide us with our ENTIRE wedding video from start to finish (even with all the boring parts in between that we specifically requested)! I know having a 2-3-hour video isn't every couples' cup of tea, but it's what we wanted, and nobody else could give us that level of service, especially for the incredible price that Pirates Lane Video has. Our video was so high quality, and Jim sent us multiple bonus footage. Do not be nervous that there are only 5 Google reviews for Pirates Lane Video!

Also, we decided to upgrade to the selfie camera stick for our guests during the reception, and it did not disappoint. We are so glad that we have a video of our guests talking to us that we can look back on forever.

Your wedding day goes by incredibly fast, and it's honestly hard to remember it. Having this video allows us to relive, revisit, and remember the day. We won't have to worry about forgetting in years to come, because we have it all professionally documented. Paying for our video (and our photos) were the only two things that we felt were 100% worth it in the end because they last forever and aren't over in a flash.

Just want to give a heads up that Jim also provides great trailers and 10-20-minute,etc. edited wedding videos, but we chose to skip those and go for the full-blown documentary.

Jim was great the day of in capturing all of the big and little moments. My husband and I are so excited to see the video.

Jim was so great from start to finish. You barely knew he is there filming. He captured all the highlights of the day. And our short "music" video was amazing. He was much more affordable than others. I would highly recommend him.

We did not know where to start to look for a videographer. We wanted someone local. I saw Jim's name and reached out. He was quick to respond. Since it was during covid, we met over the phone or zoom. We were impressed and hired him. We filled out what we wanted on his website and let him know what to expect as far as family, cake cutting, first dance, etc. The day of the wedding, Jim appeared and even though we knew he was there, he was so unobtrusive, that we kind of forgot he really was there. He even had a drone, which gave us some spectacular footage. Because he was pretty much out of our sight, we hoped he caught it all(he did). First, we got the highlight reel and it was so great and just the perfect length to send to friends and family. We then got the 2 hour video and it is perfect. We will all enjoy this for years to come. We have no hesitation in recommending Jim. His work is amazing!
