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.
