Thank you, Alice!

We could not be more happy with our decision to work with Alice for our July 2021 wedding on Peaks Island in Portland. She is so warm and made us feel comfortable right away, and she was incredibly organized and responsive throughout the planning process. We also genuinely enjoyed her company on the day, and that allowed us to be ourselves and interact naturally even though we were on camera. Her second shooter, Molly, is also wonderful and friendly, but we hardly saw her - she is a super skilled ninja! So many times we would be enjoying ourselves and totally immersed in the moment, and just barely notice her out of the corner our eye catching all of those special details without intruding at all. The edited product is a beautiful memory that brings us right back to the feeling of the day, and everyone who sees it can’t help tearing up! We only wish we had splurged on a few more hours. I’d encourage anyone to book this team, and to make as much room in your budget as possible to have them with you from beginning to end - it really is the part of the experience that can stay with you forever! Thank you a million times to Alice and Molly!

Stop your search now!

I hope I am eloquent enough to fully express how grateful I am to have found Alice! Not only did she create the most beautiful highlight reels (multiple) and a perfect wedding film for us, but she is just the perfect energy you want by your side on the big day! She was calm, creative, and patient. She was intuitive and helpful even with elements outside of her job description. She was easy to plan with and extremely patient with me when it came to picking the music for the video, and all that jazz. ;)

Seriously, do yourself a favor and at least explore her work on her page and meet/chat with her.

P.S....Congrats on your engagement!

Hire them!

Alice and Trevor were the absolute icing on the cake for our wedding. From the beginning, Alice was an absolute pleasure to talk to, and responsive to any requests/ideas. We had a blast the day of the wedding filming, both Alice and Trevor were beyond respectful, fun and sweet. They helped us to stay within our budget, and form a package that worked well for us, and we had preview films literally the next day, and multiple others leading up to the actual wedding video. My husband and I have watched it about 100x already and would not have changed a thing. Thank you thank you thank you! I could not recommend them enough!

Best wedding decision!

We LOVED working with Terraform! They are responsive, kind, fun, and so efficient. They helped guide us all day, both in terms of videography and moral support! It was more like having friends with cameras rather than vendors that we booked. We couldn't be happier with our sneak peek and can't wait to see the full video. Our footage that we've seen so far is beautiful, and we could not have asked for a better videography experience throughout this entire process. Thank you so much for making our day extra spectacular!

Beautifully Genuine

Hiring Terraform Entertainment was one of the best decisions I made while planning for my wedding. At first I wasn’t sure I NEEDED a film of the day of. Then I heard so many brides say that it was the best decision they made, or that they regretted not doing so – so I messaged Alice, and the rest is history. From my very first interaction with Alice, I knew Terraform and my wedding were a match made in heaven. She was authentically enthusiastic in learning everything about the day, and I felt like we were old friends rather than two people who messaged each other a week prior online!

Alice and Trevor the day of the wedding were amazing. They put everyone at ease, and many of my family and friends raved about how much fun they were! It’s true what everyone says – your wedding day turns into a joyous blur. I’m so happy Alice and Trevor were there to capture the parts of my wedding I will never forget, and all of the little moments I missed. I wanted our featurette to be, above all, authentically us – and they couldn’t have been more spot on. Our film is equal parts picturesque and goofy, and I wouldn’t want it any other way! They told our story beautifully and genuinely, and it’s a film we will cherish for the rest of lives together. Thank you both for laughing and crying along with us on our big day - and for the best dang wedding video ever!

Amazing experience!

Alice and Trevor were a true joy to work with. They were professional, punctual and efficient as well as a great emotional support to help relieve the stressfulness of a day like this.
The end result they provided us with was not beautiful. They were able to capture not only our day, but also what we mean to each other perfectly. It felt like the video was made by a friend who truly understood us and our wishes/needs. We would highly recommend them for any videography you need done!

I was fortunate enough to be referred to Terraform Entertainment by our photographer, Claudia McDade. Our wedding took place this past June at the New York Palace Hotel on Madison Avenue.

Alice and Trevor are skilled filmmakers with an eye for creativity and style. From the initial consultation, to the actual wedding day, to the finished video and trailer, their superior interpersonal skills put me at ease and allowed me to enjoy my special day to the fullest.

They're a great team and super chill, they went with every crazy moment my entourage (which included 2 dogs) offered up, and captured moments that give the finished product a cinematic feel.

You will NOT regret choosing Terraform Entertainment as your videographer!

Working with Alice and Trevor was an absolute pleasure - from our first meeting at our local biergarten and discussing what we envisioned for our wedding day to receiving our videos shortly after our wedding. The video was just perfect - it exceeded our expectations in every single way. It was thoughtful, elegant, understated, and simple. I felt like I was watching an old movie of my grandparents. That was the style we had asked for at the beginning, but shortly afterwards, I began to worry that it could end up going wrong. Yet, at no point did it become kitschy or self-indulgent, or try too hard to live in artifice. It was so well-balanced and captured so much of why I love my wife and the relationship we have. It is timeless, and we will treasure it forever!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
