Amazing, 10/10 experience-highly recommend

Working with the Swell team has been one of the most enjoyable parts of our wedding. If I could give 1 million stars, I would. They have been extremely easy to communicate with from start to finish. They honored any of our requests without any hesitation. They had both of our films back to us less than 3 months from our wedding. On our wedding day, they made us feel comfortable and at ease. The quality of the films is unmatched. They do the most beautiful job capturing the essence of the day. I will truly cherish the videos they created for us for a lifetime. They have given us the gift of being able to relive our amazing wedding day and that is something I will never be able to thank them enough for. Highly, highly, highly recommend anyone in need of a videographer to reach out to them. Thank you Swell!

Highly Recommend!

When we first started planning our wedding, we were on the fence about the necessity of a videographer. We finally decided to do it so that we would be able to show the video to our elderly grandparents that would not be making the drive to our destination wedding. We are so glad that we hired Swell Productions! Chris was easy to work with and ensured that his team recorded all of the important moments without being in the way. The videos that we have received from Swell Productions are breathtaking and will be cherished for years to come! Also, we rented a 360 Photo Booth from Swell, and that was the hit of the wedding!

Wedding Video, WOW!

We are speechless. That was the most beautiful, artistic, magical video. It was like I was reliving the moment. It brought me back to the happiest day filled with love and friends. Thank you for capturing these priceless moments. I can't thank you enough.
