A+ Videographers!

We just had the pleasure of officiating a wedding where Holly & Ryan were the videographers. As a fellow husband & wife wedding vendor duo ourselves, we appreciated the intentionality, care, and time the pair put in on wedding day to get the perfect angles & audio of the ceremony. As officiants with a story-telling based approach, we are always excited to work with exceptional videographers who share a similar vision and passion for capturing a couple's essence and voice. We highly recommend Purely Films!

Highly Recommend

Would highly recommend! They were great to work with and made us feel at ease during the filming process on our wedding day. The film itself was incredible and even better than we had hoped. They are definitely worth it!

Collaborative & Personable

I had the pleasure of working with PurelyRuined Studios in February 2020 for a wedding I was the Day Of Director for at the Encore Boston Harbor Resort in Massachusetts. This husband and wife duo were punctual, attentive, creative, and found a way to engage their videography efforts with wedding guests in an efficient way. They followed the timeline for all events executed over the course of the weekend and we worked extremely well together. Their final product was amazing and myself and our clients alike were thrilled with the attention to detail captured in their video from behind the scenes to the guest facing elements of decor. As an established Event Planner in New England, I would personally recommend Purely Ruined Studios for any/all video production needs.

I knew I wanted Holly and Ryan to cover my wedding day after seeing what an amazing job they did capturing my sisters wedding the previous year. My husband and I live in Dallas (but got married in Austin) so we got to know Holly and Ryan over Skype. We felt like they truly wanted to get to know us which was nice since they would be capturing the most important day of our lives! Holly and Ryan are SO creative and artistic. They put together the most beautiful highlight video for us along with videos of the toasts and full ceremony. My husband and I didn't know exactly what we wanted in our video and probably weren't much help when asked about our preferences. This didn't stop Holly and Ryan from getting to know our story, figuring out what was important to us, and creating the most perfect film that was exactly what we wanted (we just didn't know it yet)! I would highly recommend PurelyRuined Studios and am so thankful we were able to have them capture our special day.

Holly and Ryan with Purely Ruined Studios are absolutely amazing. They take the time to get to know their couples and really give them a unique video that really represents the couple. Every single one of their videos are different and don’t follow a pattern or template like some other videographers out there. I wanted an original video that wasn't going to be just like the others. I wanted it to be a fun, upbeat video that really captured my husband and me as a couple. I think that Purely Ruined hit the nail on the head with our video. We absolutely love everything about our video. They were able to capture the love and silliness of our wedding day and also highlight some of our favorite moments throughout the day. We cannot wait to watch this every year on our anniversary!

Holly and Ryan were very professional, quick to answer my many emails/questions, and always willing to listen to my thoughts. Also, Holly was so supportive on my wedding day when family members were stressed out and running all over the place. She really helped me not get swept up in the mess of it all and reassured me that it would be fine! My husband and I both really enjoyed getting to know them throughout this process and even asked them to hang out with us after the wedding was all over and done with. :)

We could not recommend Purely Ruined Studios more. They go above and beyond to make their clients day and really prioritize their couples over anything else. They even provided us a few stills from our video to use for Holiday Cards this year since our photos aren't ready yet! In my opinion, Holly and Ryan are the most talented and down to earth videographers in the Austin area. I wish them all the success in the world and truly think that all couples should use them for their wedding day. Thank you Purely Ruined Studios!

How can I describe how amazing Holly and Ryan are in only a few short words? From day one they made sure to get to know my husband and I on a personal level. Holly took us out for coffee and met with me on a few occasions. She kept in touch and I felt like she had become one of my closest friends. After our wedding and we received our videos - our friends and family were in complete awe of how incredible the videos turned out. Because of Holly and Ryan, we will be able to relive our special day for forever with an absolutely beautiful film. Thank you both for so beautifully capturing our wedding day!

Enjoyed having these guys here. They love the idea of telling a story... story about you in their videos. Give them a try.

Holly and Ryan are two of the most fantastic people you could ever hire to film your wedding film, family event, or corporate video! I had the pleasure of working next to these fine folks for 3 years, and I can say their creativity, attention to detail, and interpersonal skills are premium. They take the time to understand YOU. To listen. To make you feel what you see. They made an incredible wedding highlight for my wife and me. Can't say enough about PurelyRuined Studios. :)
