When we originally started wedding planning, we hadn't even included a video in our budget, originally thinking wedding videos we'd seen were kinda cheesy and that photos would be enough to remember our day by. But once a friend showed me smallforestfilms' Instagram account, I knew I wasn't going to be able to forgive myself if I didn't book him right then & there. From the first phone call with Kyle, the vibes were ~immaculate~ and we knew we had not only just met the COOLEST vendor, but an awesome friend as well. He is the most genuine person who honestly cares about his couples and their stories, remembering details mentioned from that very first phone call. He was so fun to work with throughout the whole process - from spit-balling sendoff ideas with us over the phone, to scream singing Mr. Brightside with us on the dancefloor at the reception. Communicating with him always felt like texting an old friend. Kyle's work is extraordinary - truly worth every penny. The video he created for us has us laughing our asses off, ugly crying, and reliving the best little moments of the day all over again. From his editing, music selections, & camerawork, he perfectly captured our goofiness and our story in such an artistic and, honestly, badass way. We are constantly getting compliments on our wedding film - how it's unlike anything people have seen before and how it truly represents us as a couple. It is the most precious gift that we will treasure forever. We cannot recommend Small Forest Films enough. Just book him already!!!

Kyle was absolutely amazing and I cannot say enough good things about our experience with him! From the start, Kyle felt like a long lost friend. We had an initial phone consultation where he thoughtfully guided us through some questions to get a better understanding of our wedding day vision.

Communication was wonderful leading up to the big day and Kyle arrived exactly when discussed. He has THE best energy and makes you feel incredibly comfortable. You can truly tell that he puts his heart and soul into these projects and the finished video was AMAZING. It was so heartfelt and I felt like he had listened so intently and truly captured the things that we had initially discussed as having been most important to us. We had a very small gathering with immediate family only and he captured the sweetest moments of our grandmother cooking in the kitchen, moments with family, and the best audio bits. He encapsulated exactly what the day meant to us. We all cried when we saw the finished product.

All in all, Kyle's work is the best I have ever seen, but what makes the experience with him so special is the connection that he takes the time to establish with you. He is incredibly sweet and thoughtful, and we are eternally grateful to have worked with him on our special day.

We hired Small Forest Films for our wedding last October, and purchased their story package. Kyle was wonderfully professional and fully present throughout the ceremony and the main event. He went above and beyond and even stayed a bit late to capture the most touching, intimate; and joyful moments of the evening.

We are very happy with the finished work, as it really does live up to the promise of being highly unique and anti-cookie cutter.

Would certainly recommend Kyle and Small Forest Films to anyone that is looking for a unique, bespoke; and custom take on their wedding day.
