Professionalism is the best. The video is even better.

I hired Video Express & Photography for my stepsons wedding in DC. I’m not from the DMV area so the challenge was finding the perfect vendor from several hundred miles away.
Julie was always very responsive, making great suggestions that helped put our minds at ease, and working diligently to make everything perfect. Especially knowing the trials and tribulations of my being so far away.
All the way up to the big day, Mark and Julie kept in constant communication and asked all the right questions while offering their vast knowledge and experience to assist in making my stepsons day and his mothers, absolutely perfect.
If I could rate the services received here on Wedding Wire up to 10, I would still give Video Express and Photography an 11.
Our family has watched the videos on DVD and blue-Ray so many times, over and over, I think they may be worn out.
We look forward to doing business with this vendor again later in 2022. Thank you Julie and Mark.
Top shelf organization.

Hill Wedding- June 2019


I researched wedding photographers and ran across them and seen some of their work also on YouTube. After meeting them in person, I was sold on having them for our special day. They were very professional and there the entire day with us. We received a highlight video with our package that is still special for us till this day.

Great Experience

We got married in October 2022. We were trying to find a videographer that was budget friendly and Video Express & Photography was the perfect choice. Julie was quick to respond when we reached out. She gave off such a warm and professional vibe on our initial phone call. She wasn’t pushy, just went over their price packages and the benefits of using their company. Julie was super responsive to any emails or questions I had throughout the entire process. I believe we booked them about a year in advance. Mark called us shortly before our wedding date to introduce himself as being our wedding videographer for our day. He was so friendly and went over the whole process and any questions we had. On our wedding day Mark did a fantastic job! He was even more friendly with a fun personality in person. He made sure to capture all the special moments throughout the day! He went with the fast flow of the day and always had a smile on! I can’t state enough of how wonderful this company was to work with!! The quality of our video was amazing! They were quick to send us our video. We got back from our honeymoon 2 weeks later and our video had already been mailed to us. They are an amazing company to have on your special day! BOOK THEM!

You WOW'd us and with only 2 weeks of planning time!!

We are so thankful to have found your team to do the photography and videography for our Granddaughters wedding. You WOW'd us with the Fabulous results and the way you helped us pull everything together in just 2 weeks time was simply Amazing! Grandpa and I especially enjoyed being able to watch and hear Jordan and Jonny's Love and Promises they exchanged; Jordan's thank you to Grandpa (brings us joyful tears each time); Grandpa's words with Jordan and Jonny when stating our willingness to 'share' our Beautiful J with Jonny and welcoming Jonny to our family; the Grandparents opening and closing prayers; words during delivery of the special necklace; words of good wishes, happiness, and joy from their many friends. Our favorite picture was the one where you captured our Granddaughter literally floating! THANK YOU! We look forward to doing business with you again!

Love Video Express :)

My husband and I used Video Express for our wedding in February 2021. Julie, the owner, was so kind and helpful when we began the process! We had an engagement photo shoot with the photographer Peyton who did absolutely beautiful work. On our wedding day, Peyton and our videographer Mark were swift, professional, and friendly! All of our material turned out amazing. The whole team was so nice and it was a pleasure to work with them. 10/10 recommend :)

They are the best!

I had the best experience since my first contact with Julie from Video Express since the first phone call she was ready to help us and to make our big day perfect.

We had many changes on our wedding due the COVID situation, and last minute we decided to hire a videographer and Video Express was ready to help us 2 weeks before our wedding.

We loved the highlight video and the live worked out perfectly. Mark and Will did an amazing job!

I would definitely recommend Video Express to everybody. I guarantee they are going to make your special day perfect! ❤️
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

After working at leas 10 years with Video Express and at least 200 jobs, I would say they are beyond a great video company but great friends to work with. When we work together it is like a dance and is seamless. The years of being a professional video company in this business shows all of the time. A sure bet. Darla Darla Photography
