    Beautiful experience

    Steve and his team were very professional and helped us capture the real essence of our special day. When we saw the end result we were very impressed and loved it. I will definitely recommend this company to capture your event.

    They understood the assignment and delivered!!

    Steven from 5iveStar Media Productions is AMAZING. He was the videographer for my wedding day. We truly enjoyed working with him. He made our special day, even more special. From the beginning, he had great communication. He answered all of our questions and helped us choose the best package for our wedding day. We had 2 videographers. One at my getting ready venue (Steven) and another at my groom's getting ready. Both were awesome. My bridal party LOVED Steve. He kept us laughing and smiling and made sure he captured all of our special moments. We had a lot of fun. Also, my husband said the same thing about his experience with his videographer from 5iveStar that was capturing the grooms getting ready. My wedding party and guest constantly asked for his information to use at future events because they loved his personality! Fast forward to today, we got our wedding highlights video back. I can say in addition to his amazing personality, his work is 5 Star. I know why he chooses 5Star Media Productions for his business name because they do indeed provide 5-star services. They are the truth and super talented. We LOVED our video!! Steve understood the assignment! It was perfect. I have no complaints. Out of all of my vendors for my wedding day, 5Star Media is one of the best! I am so happy we choose them. I will highly recommend 5iveStar Media Productions to capture your special moments. You will not regret hiring them. Thank you for everything Steve!

    Fall 2022 Wedding

    From my first message to Steve from 5iveStar Media Productions, I knew we had found our videographer. We had an excellent initial call where he reviewed the company's packages and really sold his services. When we were ready to book, the whole process was seamless. On our wedding day, he and his partner were upbeat, friendly and engaging. They were very flexible with the change in location due to the rain, and we received beautiful edited video products that we will cherish forever. Thank you for capturing our special day!

    The Great Steve Young

    No, no. I know what you’re thinking. Not that Steve Young. The legendary QB of the 49ers. This Steve Young is better. From the very start, he was such a professional and just has such a great attitude about life. He really made us feel like we were special on our special day and covered all the bases. He even called multiple times leading up to the wedding so he knew EXACTLY what we wanted. The day of, him and his colleague showed up well before the actual wedding to learn the layout of the venue and meet the party. I have zero complaints about Steve and you won’t either if you book him. #foreveryoung. Steve is the man!

    Steve Young

    It was such a pleasure to have Steve Young and his staff capture our wedding. Steve and his staff were very professional. I requested that he arrive to my house to capture moments in the morning and he arrived on time with a smile on his face. His energy was positive and he treated everyone with respect. His staff met my husband at a different location and was punctual as well. We loved our video that Steve and his staff created. They captured amazing moments and we will definitely hire them in the near future. We are so grateful for the amazing work they gave us at our wedding.

    Amazing people to work with!

    You will not be disappointed with them! Steve was so professional and down to earth. His responsiveness to emails/texts were great, he was great at staying on schedule, and keeping my nerves down😅. His colleagues were also very professional and friendly. My special day was beautifully captured. I’m definitely glad we chose them for our wedding day.

    5 Stars for 5tar!

    Steve Young is your guy. He is so on top of everything! He called multiple times leading up to the event to ensure all the details were worked out and nothing would be missed the day of. My husband and I are shy on camera and he and his team did a great job making us feel natural. He went above and beyond to ensure he captured all the special moments, and made an effort to get to know my husband and I before the wedding to ensure he’d capture US, in our style. We couldn’t recommend Steve enough!

    Captured our day perfectly!!!

    We were so happy we chose 5ive Star to film our special day! Steve our videographer the day of, did such a wonderful job capturing every moment and detail. Once our video went to editing, we worked with Ed to select all the fun music we wanted to go along with our video. Working with both of them was so easy and the final product was better than we could have ever imagined. Their professionalism, timely communication, and finished work truly made it such a wonderful experience and I fully recommend them to other couples looking to relive their special day through the video!

    5 Stars Indeed!

    Jim, the owner, was very friendly and accommodating during the planning process and was generous in explaining different video options and what to expect on wedding day. Steve, the videographer, was also great to work with. He called prior to wedding day to run through the timeline and shotlist, and to make sure that he was on the same page and understood the bride and groom’s expectations. On wedding day, Steve arrived early to set up his equipment and got along well with everyone in the wedding party. He also worked well with the photographer (from a different company) and suggested some great shot ideas. We can’t wait to see and share the finished product!

    A keepsake that’s worth the investment!

    My daughter wasn’t sure that we needed videography in addition to photography but, wow, are we glad she decided that we did!
    We had the pleasure of working with Jim Ratliff and Steve Young who worked tirelessly to capture every moment and angle! Jim and Steve immediately clicked with everyone as they moved about to capture special moments beginning with all the preparation in the morning and continuing throughout the day right up to the end of the reception.
    The day was full, with many things happening separately. It went by so quickly that, without a video, we would have missed so much. We are so glad that we decided to select a videographer, and especially that we selected 5iveStar Media Productions. This video keepsake is definitely worth the investment!

    Awesomest video team in the world!!

    5ive Star Media has the best employees ever! Jim, the owner, took my calls any time (even during sporting events!) and responded to my emails quickly and in detail. Steve the camera man was top of the line! He caught EVERYTHING, both the personal events AND all the still shots that showed how we put a lot of time into planning the day... he caught it all! I especially loved how he got perfect angles during the ceremony, plus he stayed til the end... a great guy! I am so, so happy that we found Jim's friendly and professional team, and I will absolutely be calling them again for our next family wedding!!

    Best Videographer Ever, Simply Amazing!

    We cannot say enough positive things about Jim and Barb of 5iveStar Media Productions. We were blown away by their exceptional level of professionalism, care and detail in capturing our special day. From our initial meeting to the wedding day, they listened to us and made us feel special. They were so organized but beyond that they were deeply invested in my our story. Jim and Barb truly cared and it really showed the day of the wedding, they went above and beyond to get the perfect shots and helped us to capture the best moment. The final video was very professionally done, no complaint and very high quality and shot in 4K High Definition. We were truly overwhelmed with our experience and blessed to have Jim and Barb as our videographers. Simply Amazing. We HIGHLY recommend!!!

    Beyond our expectations!

    5ive Star is absolutely amazing. Jim is very professional, compassionate, personable, generous, and really runs this business the way every business should be run. They answer the phone and emails very quickly and effectively. They make me feel like I'm the only one they are tending to, which I know is not the case. Their communication, answers, solutions and ultimately the final product are very individualized and personal, I'm not just another account number. Steve was our videographer and he was very professional, thorough and took amazing footage. He had done many shoots at our venue, Foxchase Manor in Manassas, so he was even more efficient, effective and stealth than we expected. Ed was amazing at editing, even incorporated personalized music we provided and completed the final product way ahead of schedule. We had a relatively typical south-asian wedding and were concerned if any video company would be able to adjust to the different elements at our event, however 5ive Star was incredible....you would think they were partially south-asian too!! All the elements of the video were beyond our expectations, really a treasure for a lifetime. Thank you 5ive Star!!

    5iveStar captured all of the best moments of our day!

    5iveStar was absolutely wonderful to work with. They were reasonably priced, and very easy to communicate with in the months leading up to our big day. Our 5iveStar videographers were Ed and Jean, and they captured all of the best moments of our day. Our wedding day flew by, and we are so happy to have our wedding film by 5iveStar to look back on for the rest of our lives! Thanks for capturing our day so beautifully - we are so grateful!

    Amazing work and video quality

    Wedding planning is no easy task. It can sometimes feel like vendors just see you as dollar signs rather than a couple preparing for the most important day of their lives. It never felt that way with 5ive star media productions. The videographer was probably the only stress-free vendor experience I had. It was such an easy choice. From the beginning, Jim responded by phone and email very quickly and was very honest about pricing and willing to work with my budget. Steve Young was my videographer. He called me a few weeks before the wedding to discuss the timeline and other important details. He gave me his cell number and told me I could reach out any time I wanted. We called a few days before (more for reassurance than for anything else; stress is magnified days before the wedding) and talked a bit more about additional details. Steve arrived at my ceremony before I even did and everything was already set up. He was extremely professional and very friendly all throughout the night and captured all the important moments with the lead camera (actually, he captured every single moment since two of the cameras were on tripods, there was not a missed moment!). I even have videos of my husband and I mingling during dinner. With the two videos, I have my maid of honor's speech AND my reaction to it. I could not have asked for more, everything was perfect. Steve was everywhere but it never felt like he was in the way.
    I received my raw footage and highlights a few days after my wedding. The quality of the videos is amazing. I cannot express how much I recommend this company. Amazing quality without the price tag!

    Fantastic Experience

    Initially my fiance and I weren't planning to have a videographer for our wedding. It wasn't on our list of priorities and we thought it would be too expensive. But after talking to a few friends, we decided to at least look into it and that if we could find the right package for the right price, we'd do it. And lo and behold, Jim and his team were those folks! We had such a great experience working with them! They were incredibly responsive, very professional day-of, and are just all-around lovely people. We can't recommend them enough!

    5ive Star Media is the best! Highly recommend!

    From the first conversation with Jim, I felt confident that 5ive Star was the best videographer for my daughter's wedding. They more than delivered a quality video. We are so happy with the result, and my daughter keeps saying how happy she is to have it. We got to see moments that would have been missed. With 2 videographers they were able to capture some treasured moments. Delivery time was faster than expected! Communication excellent! If you have songs ideas ahaed of time, that will speed turnaround as they will use your song slections in the video. Choose 5ive Star and you will be super happy!

    Outstanding in every way!

    Jim and his 5iveStar Media Productions team are absolutely fantastic! We decided shortly before our wedding to hire a videographer to capture our special day. We are overwhelmingly thankful that we selected 5iveStar. Jim was so easy to work with throughout the entire process. He met with us before the wedding and went over all the details of what he does. He then asked for our needs and wants for our wedding and reception. Jim and his wife Barbara were our videographers and we could not be any happier with their professionalism, attention to detail, friendliness, and all that they were able to capture on our special day! They also worked very well with our photographer throughout the day. Our outdoor wedding by the water, butterfly release, bubbles, live band, dancing, toasts, and cherished family and friends were all beautifully presented in their finished product! We received our DVDs much sooner than expected and their cost is very reasonably priced. We truly feel like we have made lifelong friends with Jim and Barbara and are forever appreciative of their work! We highly recommend 5iveStar Media Productions!
