Craig captured our day’s magic flawlessly—highly recommended!

Working with Craig was a fantastic experience from start to finish. His expertise and insightful feedback made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Throughout the whole process he was reliable and very prompt to respond and the day of, he was truly a pleasure to work with. He truly understood our vision and captured every special moment beautifully. The final wedding video exceeded our expectations, perfectly showcasing the day’s magic and emotion. If you're looking for a talented and professional videographer who delivers outstanding results, Craig is the one! Highly recommend!

Videos so beautiful they'll make strangers tear up!

There aren't enough stars for us to give Craig, Tyler, Cody, and the team at Watertown for the amazing job they did on our wedding videos. Everyone we've shown the videos to has absolutely loved them, and we've watched them all so many times. It really captures the magic of the day perfectly for us, and even on the 20th viewing, we still tear up.

A special thanks to Tyler and Cody who, besides getting incredible footage, also took charge and started directing things when our coordinator was nowhere to be found. These guys had a plan, and they made it work perfectly. They were ready for anything to go wrong, so when the DJ's microphone setup failed during our ceremony, we still got perfect audio from everyone for the recording. We were super impressed, and we really had a great time working with them.

All told, I can't recommend Watertown highly enough. They've been amazing professionals from start to finish, their work is impeccable, and the way they capture the heart and soul of the day is unparalleled. They are well worth the cost, no doubt. Check out their portfolio; we teared up at almost every video we watched, and we didn't even know those people!

Then, wipe your eyes, and hire these guys. You'll be glad you did.

Nailed it!

When planning my own wedding, I had the fortune of receiving good advice from several friends and family members who had gone before me. Every person who didn't get a video told me that was their number one regret. After receiving my video from Craig a few days ago, I can see why. I am SO happy to have this beautiful piece of film that I will treasure for the rest of my life. In about 5 minutes, Craig caught all the important moments- vows, first look, cake cutting, speeches, walking down the aisle, first dances, getting ready...the list goes on...edited it beautifully and put it to the most perfect music. I can't stop watching it and I've gotten so many compliments from friends and family. This is one of the best choices I made for my wedding day! Thank you so much Craig.

We were so thrilled with our choice of who was going to document our day. My husband and I looked at many in the area and didn't feel 100% about any of them, until we came across Craig. Immediately I knew I wanted him to be the one to capture the important moments. All everyone told me was how fast the day goes and how many details you miss. But now we have our beautiful videos to go back and watch anytime we'd like. It means so much. Craig was so flexible throughout the process and made himself available to be there for the moments I really wanted to capture like our sparkler exit at the end. It meant so much to us that he was kind enough to do that. I barely even noticed that we were being videotaped because of how seamlessly they fit into our crowd. We and our families are so happy with the videos it is hard to put into words. Best choice we made during our planning process!

During the wedding what did we do particularly well?

What are your feelings now towards your wedding film, are you happy you made the investment?

We had an adventurous elopement in the Swiss alps and decided to hire craig 2 months before it happened. We are so happy we did. Our video is so special, intimate and exactly what we were looking for. We’ve watched it at least 100 times now.
Craig is wonderful to work with. Him and his wife even made us breakfast the day of our elopement and bought us dessert when we were at dinner which showed us that they truly cared about us and went above and beyond to make our day special. We had so much fun and wish we could do it all over again.

What a joy it was to work with Watertown Films! Craig put us at ease with his personable demeanor, attentive ear, and unimposing confidence while working behind the scenes. A talented cinematographer, Craig not only captured the details of our wedding day; he's an experienced producer who understands storyline, weaving key figures and background history into the narrative, resulting in one of the most personal and touching films my husband and I could ask for. This is a treasure to be revisited throughout the decades and shared with our children and family! Watertown Films, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We can't imagine our wedding day without you!

Like most couples, we were hesitant when it came to booking a videographer for our wedding. Weddings are expensive, and unfortunately videography is one of those areas that is early to the chopping block. Thankfully a close friend urged us to consider it, and after asking our photographer for a recommendation, we found Watertown Films. The first thing we did was head over to their website and watch a few sample videos - we were blown away. I'm already an easy crier, but the emotion that Craig is able to capture and put to film is incredible. Working with Craig was wonderful - he has an air about him that puts you at ease immediately - certainly a refreshing change given the stress of wedding planning! Furthermore, he made my (now) husband and I feel extremely comfortable behind the camera on the big day - his professionalism and tact was comforting to us, our bridal party, and our guests. The ending product was everything we hoped it would be and more - and something we will cherish for the rest of our lives!

Craig and his team were so awesome to work with the day of our wedding. We felt comfortable with them as they captured our big day and can't wait to see the results. Craig has a different style of videoing weddings and I was definitely attracted to that. I'm so glad we decided to work with Craig... my whole family loved him!

Watertown Films was a lifesaver for us! Craig and Nicole were amazing! In every way! Not only were they an absolute joy to work with, but they went above and beyond, worked fluidly with us and other vendors, and put us at ease from the very start. We knew immediately that we had made the right choice.

With a family crisis the week of our daughter's wedding, we decided a video of the event was imperative. From a couple of last minute recommendations, Craig Flood emerged. Craig had chosen to take the weekend off, but, thanks to his compassion, after hearing our story, he jumped on board - just a few days before the wedding.

He and his wife, Nicole, met with my daughter (the bride), her fiancé, my husband and me. They listened. And listened. They really focused on getting to know us and understanding our needs so that they could create a meaningful video that captured the emotions and special moments of the day. With what normally would have been several months to develop a plan, they developed theirs in a matter of hours and our daughter's beautiful wedding day is now a piece of video history forever. Superlatives fall short to describe our positive experience working with Craig and Nicole of Watertown Films.

Craig and Nicole we're beyond wonderful to work with! They didn't make anything stressful or chaotic by being around to capture every moment! It's as if they aren't even there!! The video itself turned out way better then I could ever imagined!! It's been almost 3 years and I still watch the video to remember all the emotions and love of my special day!! They truly captured and created the best highlights of our wedding! I would recommend them to anyone who is getting married!

Watertown Films is just lovely to work with. I had the pleasure of meeting Craig at a wedding show and we have been friends ever since! He has shot films for a few of my clients, as well as making a video for my own coordination business. When I knew I wanted to make a film for Coordination by Lee Lee Ree, there wasn't a question of who I was going to ask. Craig has a great eye, thinks ahead and is just fun to work with! He selects great music that pairs so well with the moving moments from your special day or endorsement video. Watertown's wedding videos never cease to make me cry... they're just beautiful and capture the moments you want to remember forever!
