We pride ourselves on creating all of your wedding media as a collaboration, deeply valuing what matters most to you. We understand that we're not just capturing any event, we’re telling a love story that becomes a part of your family history, through multiple different mediums.

All aspects of your wedding media package (photo, film, and/or social content creation) are completely customizable. We encourage you to be as hands-on as you like, and we make it easy for you to help guide every aspect. Even after the first draft of your wedding film is delivered, you'll have complimentary rounds of edits to ensure your film is exactly what you envisioned.

The best!

We are so glad we chose Toast to capture our beautiful wedding! After interviewing a few videographers, it quickly became clear that Toast was far more buttoned-up. Julianna was incredibly responsive, always proactively reaching out about upcoming deadlines, sharing information, and answering every question we threw her way. Every element of the footage captured by this talented team was gorgeous, and once everything came together, it was clear they knew exactly what we had envisioned.

Sandro was our day-of videographer, and we could not have been happier, or luckier, to have someone like him by our side. Not only was he kind and exceptionally talented, but he and his team were always in the right place at the right time. He calmly coached us through several shots he had in mind, and after seeing the results, it’s obvious he is unbelievably gifted.

The team delivered both our documentary and highlight films within a reasonable timeframe and was very flexible with the minor edits we requested. Overall, we cannot thank this team enough and would highly recommend choosing Toast for your special day!

I had the best experience with Toast weddings! My videographer Ethan and Benjamin my drone operator were amazing. I absolutely loved how my videos turned out. Julianna was lovely to work with as well!

Great photographer!

Filip was amazing to work with! He captured many special moments from our wedding. He was professional, friendly, and we got almost 300 photos back less than 30 days after our big day! We also were able to make a booking with a photographer just a few weeks before our event date and within our desired budget. We highly recommend Filip and Toast Weddings!

Toast Wedding

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about our wedding videographer! They captured our special day so beautifully, and watching our video feels like reliving the best day of our lives all over again. Every moment, emotion, and detail was captured perfectly, and the final result exceeded all our expectations. Beyond their incredibleb talent, they were an absolute pleasure to work with and made everything feel so natural and effortless. We are beyond grateful to have these memories to cherish forever. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding — we couldn’t recommend them more highly!

Great Wedding Films

Wonderful experience working with Toast! Our videographer, Sam, was great and Julianna was so easy to coordinate from start to end. Loved our wedding films, especially the highlight video!

Great Film!

We love our Toast wedding videos! We worked with Julianna to prep for our summer wedding and make sure Toast had the detailed timeline of our day and understood what types of shots and tone we wanted for our highlight reel (we also ordered the documentary edit). Tom, our videographer, was polite, respectful, and most importantly, unobtrusive, during our big day. We had been wary of feeling "surveilled" but we really had nothing to worry about! Tom coordinated well with our photographer so nobody was on each others toes. We got our products in a timely manner and the team was great to work with to implement the free revisions to our highlight reel. The final products captured our day perfectly! Our reel is romantic, fun, bright, and joyful and we got glimpses of so many special moments. Toast was by far the most bang for your buck videographer that we looked at and we couldn't be happier with what we got from our experience with them!

Service review

Kerri was a great photographer and went above and beyond during wedding day. Julianna was quick and responsive when emailed. The pictures came out amazing and I love them! The only downside is it did take exactly the 60 day mark to receive pictures which was quoted to us I just wish it would have come sooner.

Great videographer!

We had an amazing experience with Toast! We were on the fence about having a videographer due to our wedding budget but Toast was able to help us get a price that we were comfortable spending. We were able to get our main video, a documentary video of all the main things of our day, and all of our raw footage on a flash drive for a price that was right in our budget! We even paid to have an extra edit for our main video and did not even have to use it because our first round of edits was so beautiful! Leading up to our wedding I was able to tell them all my perfrences for what we wanted shot during the day of our wedding so that they could make sure they got exactly what we wanted. On the day of our wedding our videographer- Rafaiel- was amazing! He made us feel comfortable during shooting and had great suggestions for different shots and made sure that he got all the important things that we wanted included. Our day was running a little off track as weddings do and we were worried that we weren’t going to have any footage of our dance floor but Raf went out of his way to stay a little bit extra so we could still have some footage of our dance floor which was so incredible of him! We recommend Toast to anyone who is looking for a videographer and will defintley be recommending them and Raf to all our friends!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
