Choosing A Thousand Cranes Productions for our wedding was hands down one of the easiest and BEST decisions we made! I had the pleasure of working with Jana and Brandon previously and knew immediately after my now-husband and I got engaged that I wanted A Thousand Cranes Productions to capture our wedding day. From the very beginning, working with Jana felt like working with a dear friend who just happens to be unbelievably talented. She was warm, thoughtful, and genuinely so excited to tell our story, and that excitement was contagious! Every email and every tiny detail was handled with so much care and kindness. On our wedding day, her team blended in so naturally that we almost forgot we were being filmed, and yet somehow they captured absolutely everything! The big emotional moments, the quiet in between glances, the uncontrollable laughter, the happy tears, all of it. They have this incredible way of making you feel totally comfortable and seen, which allowed us to just be ourselves and soak up every single second of the day. When we received our video, we were completely speechless. Watching it felt like reliving the best day of our lives in the most beautiful, cinematic, heartfelt way. Nothing felt cheesy or staged, just joyful, romantic, emotional, and so perfectly “us.” We have already watched it more times than we can count, and it still gives us chills and brings tears to our eyes! A Thousand Cranes did not just document our wedding. They preserved the feeling of it, and that is something we will treasure forever. We are endlessly grateful and would choose them again in a heartbeat. If you are even thinking about booking them, do it - you will be SO glad you did! -

A lot of your wedding day is spent with your videographer… so they need to be someone you love! We were married at Overlook Barn on October 1st, 2023 and it is not an exaggeration to say that Brandon was one of our favorite vendors on our wedding day! Brandon and Jana were extremely personable, reliable, informative and quick to respond since the moment we inquired. Jana helped us curate a package that featured exactly what we wanted while also leaving out the things that weren't important to us (to help save a bit). We felt confident in their abilities from the start and even more so after meeting them. The day of the wedding Brandon would capture a shot and then turn the camera around to show us his work for a split second - it was moments like these that showed how passionate he was about his work, how excited he was to share it with us, and how much he truly cared that we liked the result. Brandon went above and beyond by even helping to hold my veil for the photographer, and helping get a knot out of my necklace so my mom could put it on me! The groomsmen especially loved working with another one of their team members, RC. A Thousand Cranes are a great team and if you are hiring a separate photographer - they work extremely well with (yet another husband/wife duo) Rob and Kristin Tesar! -

Jana and her team we absolutely amazing! They ensured we got the best footage possible during every phase of our big day. They were totally attentive and really worked hard to get the best shots and footage possible. We are so glad we went with a Thousand Cranes; the quality and experience you receive with this company are well worth it! -

There truly are not enough words to express my love for Jana and Brandon. My husband and I were scheduled to get married in June, and we made to tough (but right) call to postpone. As we began the process, we hit a bump in the road. That bump ended up being the best thing that could have happened. I reached out to Jana- not even really sure what I was hoping to find, but goodness, it felt like I was talking to a friend. She was so caring and thoughtful. She and Brandon showed up on our wedding day with the biggest smiles and eager to capture anything and everything. Honestly, I don’t know that they ever stopped filming! The final products are nothing short of perfection. We will cherish these precious memories forever, and we are so grateful for Jana and Brandon’s hard work to make these possible. They are incredibly talented at what they do, and they are kind, loving people who will go out of their way to make things run smoothly. I would hire A Thousand Cranes again in a heartbeat!! -

Jana and Brandon videoed my wedding in Feb 2020 and I am blown away. Not only by the quality, preparation, and attention to detail, but I think they might be the nicest people on the planet. During the wedding day, they meshed right in with the hustle and bustle while we got ready and during the wedding they were so professional and I didn't even notice they were there. An added bonus is during the reception they were tearing up the dance floor with me, my husband and all of our family and friends. I received our feature film back last week and I think I've watched it 6 times already. The created a true story of our day and the quality it outstanding. I recommend to everyone who needs a videographer. I might just hire them to record every event in my life. -

Choosing A Thousand Cranes was easily one of the BEST wedding decisions we made! Jana was a true joy to work with and has created keepsakes that will keep us laughing, smiling and crying all at once for the rest of our lives. She managed to capture all the details, big and small. On our wedding day, she was very relaxing and fun to work with and made us feel like her life long friends. John and I would recommended A Thousand Cranes a million times over! -

Anna Sent on 05/02/2020Absolutely incredible
Jana and Brandon are absolutely amazing! From day one, Jana was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had. On the day of the wedding, Brandon was just so kind! It’s not an everyday affair to have a camera follow you around and capture all that you’re doing. He made it a comfortable process and his humor and easygoing personality calmed my nerves. Booking a videographer, I didn’t know what to expect, but A Thousand Cranes Productions was more than I could’ve ever asked for. They captured so many precious moments I forgot about. The day flies by so quick and it’s easy to get a little lost. If you are wondering if you really need a videographer, the answer is yes. You do, and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else but Jana and Brandon. Watching the videos they created for us bring tears to my eyes every time. The quality of the picture and sound is unbeatable. I feel like I’m walking back down the aisle again and can’t help but smile. They love what they do and it shows in their work. -

Brandon and Jana are so talented and so much fun! I couldn’t be happier with how our wedding videos turned out. They were total professionals on wedding day, and were overall a pleasure to have around. You can be as hands on or hands off as you’d like when it comes to giving them direction on your video. My husband and I were very hands off and just let them do their thing, and the videos turned out fantastic! We highly recommend A Thousand Cranes! -

Ariana Sent on 10/09/2019Amazing videographers with wonderful talent!
First let me say "WOW!" We had such an amazing experience with Jana & Brandon! They were so so sweet and always available to help us in any way. Jana was awesome to work with and made this process so easy. It may have taken a little longer than expected to receive the video but the wait was SO worth it! I loved how they released each video within a couple weeks of each other so that we'd be kept on our toes and be even more excited for the next one. These videos will be cherished forever and be watched over and over again for years to come! If you're looking for videographers, "A Thousand Cranes" is your best choice. -

Ritika Sent on 07/17/2019The best decision we made for the wedding!
Jana and her team are incredibly talented. Our wedding trailer, ceremony and feature film are all so so beautiful. Not just me but so many of my friends and family who watched it, teared up. The videos are beautifully captured, the editing is just perfect. I knew this was a good team when I hired them, but the results I got were way way above the already high expectation. This was the best investment we made in our wedding. Memories for life so beautifully captured. This was mesmerizing! I highly recommend them. We hired them for an additional hour beyond the initial contract and are really glad we did. -

Charlotte Sent on 07/14/2019Absolutely breathtaking videos!
A Thousand Cranes were wonderful to work with and left us with our favorite keepsake from our wedding! Our feature film and trailer are so beautiful. Before we hired a videographer I had heard from multiple friends that it was a waste or money and they they had only watched their videos once. I am so glad I did not listen! We have watched our wedding trailer and film more times than I can count and each time it is more amazing than the last. So thankful for A Thousand Cranes and the memory of this beautiful day they preserved so beautifully!! Highly recommend! -

Best financial decision ever.
My husband and I had a wedding videographer booked for our wedding and deposit was paid in full. The wedding videographer we had booked in time for our wedding unexpectedly got pregnant and had to cancel. My husband and I were distraught and was anxious to get a new videographer in time for our wedding. Jana emailed back immediately and reassured us of her flexibility and availability. We were SO excited and did not think twice about hiring A Thousand Cranes to film our most special day. It was honestly the best financial decision we had ever made. We made room in our budget just to be able to hire Jana to be on our team of people who made our day so special. I would 100% recommend A Thousand Cranes production and say it is worth the investment! -

Allyson Sent on 11/08/2018Beautiful work, friendly couple, and great value
I am so thankful I came across A Thousand Cranes when searching for a videographer to capture our day! They quickly responded to all my emails/calls, answered any questions that I had or requests, and were so easy to work with. They are a very genuine couple who work hard and are very talented. We love how our films turned out and glad we had this sweet couple to capture our big day! -
Haley Sent on 10/11/2018When I initially looked into videographers, I was really only wanting a trailer video - nothing too lengthy. I was happy to have found Jana & Brandon because their films looked so awesome and I had to have one for our special day. They did include the longer video because it was a portion of the package I selected. After viewing all of our films, my husband and I are truly so happy that we not only went with a lengthier film, but had A Thousand Cranes Productions capture our special day. Jana and Brandon really outdid themselves and we couldn’t be more thankful! I’m so excited to share these videos with friends and family for years to come! Thank you so much Jana & Brandon!

Morgan Sent on 09/30/2018When we were searching for videographers in the Charlotte area we came across A Thousand Cranes Productions and loved their work. We wanted our special day to be captured on film in a fun but sweet way that showed our love in the best way and after choosing A Thousand Cranes Productions, we were not disappointed! Jana was immediately responsive and always available to chat throughout our wedding planning process. We loved having such warm, welcoming, and accommodating vendors who genuinely were as happy for us on our big day as our friends and family were. The product we were delivered (in a very timely fashion) was so much better than we could've asked for. It shows all the details we discussed with A Thousand Cranes Productions and they captured every moment we valued as important plus so many we didn't even think about. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality video of a special memory to keep forever!

Caitlin Sent on 03/03/2018When you're planning your wedding, you think of every detail. From who will be getting ready with you in the morning, who will be by your side as you say your vows, what shade of mint the accents on the ties will be-you've got a tab for it in your planning binder. What I didn't know when I was planning is that your photo/video team would be so important in those group of people surrounding you on your day and I am SO SO THRILLED it was Jana and Brandon for me. I ended up lucky because I loved their style and they were so affordable in a market that truly has your head spinning. From the communication before the wedding to the day of, Jana was professional and prompt with answering all my questions. They were so fun and an absolute joy to have during the day. The real bragging comes to the final result. Video by video were completed and each time I got to relive those happy moments. They were captured and compiled so seamlessly and beautifully. Truly, A Thousand Cranes Productions was one of the best decisions I made for that day-second to marrying my husband ;) I cannot encourage you enough to at the very least check out their films and decide for yourself. They are an amazing production company, and better than that, they are amazing people. We will always have a special place for them in our memories and hearts.

Ashley Sent on 11/28/2017There aren't enough words to describe how amazing Jana & Brandon did, with our video! They exceeded our expectations and we are blown away with the result. Jana was super easy to get ahold of and made our wedding process so easy (in a very stressful time) They make you feel so at ease and you don't even realize they are filming! We are so lucky to have found them for our wedding day videographer. Thank you!!

No explanation needed, I’ll just show you.
The wedding video song was wrong, lips didn’t match the audio and the second time edited photos are what I’ll post. A destination wedding on a beach with a little rain at first then stunning sunset was definitely not captured for us. You can see for yourself the photo editing and reason we were so unhappy. One of our girls has a blackened face and the sand is multiple shades of bright and dark edited -
