We are so overjoyed we went with Studio 213. My husband and I work in the film industry and we were very particular in choosing a videographer. When we saw David’s work we were hooked! David has the creative eye to capture unique angles and shots, but more importantly knows how to truly capture you as a couple. He spent time getting to know us prior to the wedding and he listened to our ideas while inputting some of his own. When it came to the wedding he attended the rehearsal dinner so he could get to know the people closest to us and get a sense of how we were as a group.
David goes above and beyond to get the perfect shot and works tirelessly to create the best video. He makes you feel completely reassured that your video will truly represent you and your special day.
We were so happy with the final video and can’t wait to enjoy it for years to come!!

David and Gary were wonderful to work with – prior to the day, we were able to talk with Gary (the one would be doing the filming) on the phone to get to know him, share our vision for the day, items that may be special for him to capture, and to feel more comfortable working with him. Leading up to the day, they were very responsive and easy to work with! As part of our package, we had Gary join us at the rehearsal dinner the night before to capture all of the speeches – this was amazing and I definitely recommend all couples to add this addition if they plan to have speeches given. On the day of the wedding, Gary was so calm – his presence was actually calming, which was wonderful considering how hectic and busy the getting ready process can be. He was very straightforward in sharing the few shots he wanted to capture (such as reading our own vows we wrote) and then so quietly navigated around the hustle and bustle, getting more shots without being intrusive or distracting. He worked well with our photographers – we never felt like we were getting pulled in multiple directions during the portrait sessions – they worked in harmony together and again were straightforward, but so easy to work with! At the actual wedding, I don’t even remember seeing him! That’s how awesome he is at capturing the shots without being a distraction or intrusive on the guests or the party. We had multiple guests comment on how great he was staying low key!
We received our wedding highlight video and full documentary videos within a month of our wedding and they did not disappoint. The highlight video was put together so nicely, capturing all of the “big” pieces of the day, while highlighting our own vows. The documentary video exceeded all expectations – it’s cut nicely to provide just the right amount of each clip, and has all of the footage you'd want to see and remember from your big day. I would highly recommend Studio 213!

Message To Wedding Wire Readers: I could go on and on writing here the overwhelming number of comments we've received. With the precious expertise and advice from our wedding planner, Michelle Kinne, owner of Blue Dahlia Events, we hired videographer David Schmaus for our daughter's wedding on May 21, 2016. Studio 213 Films took the small-town beauty of our hometown and combined it with the woodland setting in our backyard to create the most unique wedding video I have yet to see. He captured the most touching moments of the day and presented them on film with the finesse of an Oscar-nominated film producer. If you think this all sounds too good to be true...the truth is in the viewing...I welcome you to visit David's site and watch our daughter's wedding, Maggie and Stephen, Oxford, Ohio--https://vimeo.com/168045029.

We could not be more happy with our Videographer selection of Studio 213, more specifically David is so gifted at what he does. He made our entire wedding party feel at ease and relaxed! From the planning stages he really got to know us as a couple. He gave great advice on how to enjoy the most out of our day and also advice on other vendors and what to expect from our day with him. He captured everything but it was like we did not even know he was there with his cameras, he worked seamlessly. I can not say enough positive things about him, starting with his professionalism, his eye for great shots and how he made us feel like the most important people. Everything went so smoothly, the only thing I wish is that we could relive the entire day! Thank you David for everything, You are amazing! You have so much talent and I adore your work. I literally cry while watching all of your wedding videos its my new favorite hobby!
Love,
Mr. and Mrs. Kurt Fohl

We had a wonderful time working with Studio 213 Films, We selected this vendor because we were impressed by its creative slant on wedding videography. David and Gary were professional and focused on obtaining the best quality of video footage throughout the wedding. They attended the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, and the entire wedding day putting in long hours to ensure a fantastic product. We were happy with our decision to work with Studio 213 Films. We selected Studio 213 Films over plenty of options in the Baltimore/DC area, and are glad they came from Ohio to be with us for our wedding!

My husband and I cannot say enough about our experience with Studio 213 Films. It's hard enough to find the words to describe the excitement and happiness that we experienced on our wedding day, so describing how awesome it is to be able to relive that excitement any day we want is priceless! I searched for a videographer for a while before finding Studio 213 and was blown away by their work. David was very easy to communicate with, and worked with us on a time to meet beforehand and get all the details sorted out. He gave us suggestions to make things run smoothly on the wedding day as was full of fun and creative ideas. Our highlight film and documentary film are the perfect compilation of what made our wedding day so special! David and Gary were so easy to work with and their personalities are perfect for what they do. They fit right in with everyone and we were so glad to have them there to capture all the fun! We highly recommend Studio 213 Films!!

I highly recommend Studio 213 Films for wedding videography. I came in with high expectations after seeing some of the other wedding videos on their website, but I was completely blown away when I got my own video! The video turned out amazing! If it is important to you to have a quality, edited "highlights" video and not just the typical wedding video, use Studio 213 Films.

I am so glad that I had a videographer for our wedding ceremony and reception. I was hesitating to have my ceremony filmed but now that I have it I would say, it is so much worth it. Especially, David did a great job. He made a highlight movie and it turned out so so awesome. He also chose a great song for the back ground. He is very friendly and easy-going and catches quickly what I like. I highly recommend Studio213!!!

All I can say is BOOK STUDIO 213 FILMS NOW...oh and get the package with the Aerial camera! I used Studio 213 for our destination wedding in Hilton Head. In planning our wedding, I initially didn't think we needed a videographer but then I met David and saw his work and was blown away. Hiring David and making a video a part of our wedding was hands down the best decision we made during the entire process. David and his team helped take the stress out of the day for us but more than added to the fun. They are extremely creative and talented with what they do and I personally think they are the best in the area. Do hire a videographer and make sure that videographer is David and the Studio 213 Films crew.

I am so happy to share my experience with Studio 213 Films!! We started a search for a videographer that could "tell a story"... and hands down, after MUCH searching, we had no disagreement that David's films told a story that we were glued to, even though we didn't know the brides and grooms on his website.We met with David so that he and the Sammie and Alex could get to know each other, and immediately felt the easy sincere way that is, David! David was enthusiastic about our special day, and went out of his way to survey the venues for opportunities and any possible problems. I had complete faith in him, and could not be happier with the results of our wedding video! David has a gift for capturing the emotion and heart of a wedding, and it's bride and groom. what an amazing thing to sit down to view our video, and hear the vows spoken, and soak in the moments that we weren't even aware of.. the moments they stole away to drink in the day, the he caught on film in such a beautiful way, that it seems they didn't even know he was there. They shed tears and had many spontaneous hugs of happiness when they watched their video for the first time! They left our house on a cloud, and wrote us when they got home, thanking us for having David at their wedding! That is what makes a happy mother and father of the bride! AFter you have spent all of the money, and time and creativity, and the day has come and gone, this is the magical way you can go back to that day, and relive it! I can't express how grateful we are to David, for taking our daughter and son-in-law's fairytale snowy wedding day, and saving it for us with artistry and sensitivity! View their trailer on his website and you will see what I mean! Thankyou David for caring so much about a day that was so important to us, and that we never want to forget... and now we don't have to!! Thankyou for capturing all of the special details, and the fun and the romance! it's beautiful!
