Don't look any further. Just book!

I can't say enough good things about Reel Special! I have admired their work for such a long time and knew that I had to reach out to them for my own wedding this year. After having to replan our wedding about a hundred times due to the pandemic, Ryan made this one planning piece so easy. Right off the bat, my now husband and I knew that Ryan was the one for us! He was a true professional who cared enough to go the extra mile for his clients. On top of being an awesome person who we are now honored to call a friend, he made us the absolute best wedding video! Ryan, we cannot thank you enough for the gift you've given us. Our family will cherish the videos you've provided us for years to come! If you need a videographer, do yourself a favor and book Reel Special!

BEST OF THE BEST! No doubt you need them to capture your big day. The most amazing people!

Incredible!! Absolute dream team! Brittany and Ryan were there for us from the beginning of our wedding planning process. All of their videos are flawless and I knew that we had to have them capture our big day. They were so supportive with the choices we made and gave open and honest input. Not only were our wedding videos PRISTINE but they incorporated little details on the day of that we couldn't have ever dreamed up on our own. The church where we married had specific rules on how the couple took communion during the ceremony. We had really wanted to have communion but decided against it due to the restrictions. Brittany and Ryan went out of their way and SURPRISED us with our own private communion while taking pictures beforehand. That will forever be one of our favorite moments and it was all because of them! Now, watching our wedding video is one of our favorite memories of that day. They captured every detail and a million more. They were so encouraging and made us feel like stars of the show. And they are the kindest people you will ever meet! Brittany carried my dress, shoes, veil, everything each stop of the way. Ryan helped calm the guys nerves. I truly cannot say enough good things about them and through the entire process they became so special to us. Lastly, if you are vacillating between if you need a videographer or not, you DEFINITELY need one! The way that videos captures memories is the most engaging way to relive that day and Reel Special are the go to videographers every time!! BEST OF THE BEST!!

Bringing on Reel Special was pretty much the best decision we made for our wedding (aside from getting married in the first place, of course).

Even though I've been working in the wedding industry for almost 10 years myself, Brittany & Ryan have reminded me of all the reasons why choosing the right professionals to have by your side can really make your wedding day an even more beautiful experience.

Not only do we look at our wedding footage & highlights video and remember how amazing our wedding day was for us, but we can also see in all the details how much these two cared about documenting it. I remember their smiles, enthusiasm and excitement for us vividly. At the same time, I don't remember them being around at all during the ceremony, dances, or speeches because they get everything they need without being intrusive or distracting. Aka they're little stress-relieving, happy video angels when you need them / stealthy, invisibility-cloak-wearing video ninjas when you want to just be in the moment with your love.

If there's one piece of advice I could give all my future couples, it would be to bring on a wedding videography team as loving, attentive, and talented as Reel Special. We feel incredibly lucky to have had them by our side on our wedding day, and now to have our memories so beautifully preserved forever.

Brittany & Ryan - we love you two SO MUCH! We hope our paths cross over and over again through this life.

Absolute best in the business!

I cannot say enough about our experience with Reel Special. Brittany and Ryan have been so professional from the initial appointment well past receiving our wedding video. We received such a personalized experience that really captured our relationship with each other and all of those so near and dear to us. Your big day goes by so fast and we are SO glad that we can relive those moments whenever we chose to in such a convenient way. Thank you again, Brittany and Ryan, we are OBSESSED with your work and the both of you!

Amazing people and amazing skills!

As soon as I was engaged, I knew two things for sure, who I wanted for Photography and Videography. I had followed Reel Special Productions on social media for awhile, and absolutley loved their work. I contacted them as soon as I started planning our big day. After our first meeting, it confirmed that they were the ones that I trusted to capture the memories of our special day. The day of our wedding , not only did they capture every little detail, they were more than videographers, they were friends that were willing to help us with anything that we needed during the day. They were such a joy to have around on our Wedding Day! I can not explain how thrilled we were when we got to see our wedding video for the first time, I cried A LOT, but happy tears for sure!! REEL SPECIAL PRODUCTIONS IS SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!!!! Ryan and Brittany are amazing people that are amazingly talented, they care about their clients and it shows through their work.

Words cannot describe how INCREDIBLE Reel Special is and was! Ryan and Brittany are by far some of our favorite people and made our wedding day everything and anything we could have ever wanted. I was brought to tears seeing our wedding video and realizing how grateful I was that they were there to capture it. They took care of me the entire day and went above and beyond their job title. My husband and I feel blessed to now call them friends as well :)

Brittany and Ryan Worthen with Reel Special Productions are INCREDIBLE videographers. First, they are very quick to respond to emails, texts, and even FaceTime calls. I was an out-of-town bride, and they made everything so easy for me. Second, they go above and beyond to make clients feel special. They reach out to you via social media, they send special exciting pieces of mail, and they have real excitement for your big day. Third, they are loving people. They truly care about their clients, and they make everyone feel safe in working with them. These two are some genuinely good people. They are professional and have strong reputations with everyone in the industry. They did an amazing job on our wedding day, and I feel honored to have been able to hire them. They are hard workers. I know that they put in long hours, late nights, and the extra effort it takes to be at the top of their industry, and it really shows. They are the best!!! Once you speak with them or meet them, you will understand how wonderful they are right away. 10/10! 5 stars! 100% the absolute best!!

These guys were amazing!! They truly captured every part of our wedding in incredible ways. There are additions to each package that you can get, and we added on the drone shots, and it was spectacular. Ryan and Brittany are great people to be around, and they did a wonderful job putting everything together. We got the finished product shortly after the wedding, and it was in Facebook for all of our family and friends to see as well. This is something that we will get to keep, and cherish for the rest of our lives, and we cannot thank Reel Special enough for all that they did! They captured incredible parts of our big day that we would have never seen otherwise. This is definitely something I would want if my wedding was coming up, and I would recommend Reel Special for sure!!

From the moment Brandon and I first chatted with Ryan and Brittany via Skype, we knew that they were going to be a perfect fit for us. Mind you we live in Florida and had absolutely no idea who these people were. We totally went out on a limb and reaching out to them from a selection of videographers referred to us by our amazing photographer, Melissa G. Photography. We were instantly drawn to their laid back attitudes, yet completely in awe of the exploding passion that they both had for capturing the most magical moments of peoples lives. There truly are no words to begin to describe how absolutely amazing and talented this adorable couple is.

These two masterminds make Reel Special Productions in our eyes quite possibly the best videographers we have ever seen. Not only because of their talent, but because of their passion, their love, their fun spunky personalities and their ability to turn hours and hours of video footage into an unforgettable memory that will last a lifetime in what seemed like less that 2-3 weeks while both working fulltime jobs. SAY WHAT?!? Seriously, it blows my mind! The video that they created from our wedding weekend in Jamaica is all that we could have ever dreamed of and a thousand times more. They weren’t just there to get a job done, they were there to capture every ounce of love that they possibly could. And they absolutely did that without a doubt.

Although we only spent a weekend with Ryan and Brittany, it feels like we have known them for years. Their unbelievable work ethic, love for life and the Lord is so infectious that they have truly inspired me to want to be a better person. We have honestly probably watched our video 500 times and will easily watch it another 500 times in the future and I can assure you we will NEVER get sick of it. It was absolute perfection and we cannot thank these two enough for all of their love and hard work… WE LOVE YOU!
