    You need doug

    Getting married in Maui? Looking for a Videographer to capture a perfect little movie of your day? Look no further. Let me tell you about Doug. He is INCREDIBLE! I am not one to go out of my way to write reviews for people, but dang.. does he deserve it! From the premilary meeting where we discussed the vision, what we were looking for, set-up, etc. To showing up at 4AM(!!) for our Sunrise ceremony. To ensuring we grabbed shots that I really wanting, even if it wasn't initially planned or maybe even out of the way. To being an absolute JOY to be around on our Wedding day! Doug, we cannot thank you enough for capturing our magical day in such a beautiful keepsake. We will cherish our wedding video forever! Through his filmmaking, our film is filled with so much love, laughter, happiness - he really captured the essence of our relationship! MAHALO, DOUG!!

    Phenomenal!

    Doug's work is nothing short of phenomenal! The storytelling edit that he did of our special day is so incredible and my husband and I are beyond thrilled with how spectacular our video came out! Afterglow Weddings is an absolute necessity when trying to capture the magic of the day, and I can't wait to have another occasion and to work with Doug again!!!

    The best of the best!

    Doug is an excellent photographer who cares deeply about his work & ensures his clients are 100% satisfied. All of the pictures from our wedding were spectacular! We couldn't have asked for a better photographer ! He is so kind and easy going, too! I assure you, you will be happy if you have him as your photographer! I would give him 10 stars if I could!

    Doug was AMAZING!!!

He had the Groom and the Official wear microphones that were hidden... I had not idea they were there!! The video quality and sounds was amazing!! Even with the crashing waves, you could hear our vows perfectly!! The whole ceremony!! The moments he captured were moments I will cherish forever!!! How do you put a price tag on that? You can't!! I will forever be grateful for his wonderful work and for how he captured our special day!!! He comes 100% recommended from us!!!

    Choosing a videographer is always hard for your wedding becasue everyone wants the best, well Doug is that. He was always very responsive with emails from day one. He is easy to communicate with when having a dialogue about your wedding video vision. He is a bargain for the product delivered. My video was everything I imagined and more. Not to mention Doug was wonderful during the wedding, he was pleasant, respectful and made you feel very comfortable! Even kept us laughing! 100% recommend!

    Amazing Videographer - Highly Recommend!

    Wow! Doug and his team far exceeded our expectations. He set up an initial conversation with us where we shared our visions for the wedding video and the end product could not have been more perfect. He was easy to work with, and was very responsive to all emails and calls. Thank you Doug!

    We couldn't be happier with our wedding video Doug at Afterglow Weddings Maui created for our destination wedding in Maui!! Our day was so special and magical, he captured it so perfectly and beautifully!!
    There was video footage I didn't even realize was being filmed until we saw our video for the first time and we were so grateful he caught those moments. One of the songs he choose for our video while we are walking on the beach brings tears to our eyes, it's just beautiful!
    We also had Doug put together a slide show to music with photos from our wedding and he did an incredible job with that as well.
    It was such a pleasure meeting and working with Doug. He is professional, friendly and very talented. We loved his enthusiasm and creativity. You couldn't ask for any better videographer. We can't thank you enough Doug for sharing our special day with us and documenting it so beautifully!! We hope to see you in Maui again someday! Barb & Doug

    From the time we booked Doug's services in May 2015 to weeks after our wedding, he has been super helpful, attentive, kind, and flexible. His quality of work is exceptional and he always made sure each and every detail exceeded our expectations. He made us feel comfortable and was honest throughout each process. He always was informative and would answer us within a few hours each time we would email him. I highly recommend Afterglow Cinematography because the service is wonderful and the quality is top end and truly amazing. We now have our entire wedding on clear, crisp footage from the ceremony to the reception, all thanks to Afterglow Cinematography!

    Afterglow wedding vid


    I am so incredibly glad that I chose Doug with Afterglow to shoot my wedding. I couldn't be more happy with the way that the wedding video turned out.

    Doug was a pleasure to work with. He was perfectly professional, totally thorough, and quite artistic with his video skills. Watching the video, I saw that he captured so much footage that I didn't even realize he was filming. He didn't miss any of the important moments and got even more than I expected!

    My husband and I also decided to have Doug edit a highlights video montage of all the day's events, so that we could have a shorter account of our wedding to share with friends and family. We absolutely LOVED it!!! It was so sweet to have a little video that was so easily shared and he did a superb job of editing it. Many of our friends and family told us how moved they were by seeing the video, whether they were able to attend the wedding or not!

    I would highly recommend Doug to anyone wanting video services and suggest checking out samples of his wedding highlight montages. I can imagine we will be watching and sharing that much more often than our full wedding video! :)

    Douglas from Afterglow Weddings Maui was awesome! He captured our wedding better than I ever have could hoped. I am so grateful we decided to get a videographer for our wedding. This is something my husband and I can keep and cherish for life. I highly recommend Douglas. He is professional and responsible. He got us our DVD in a timely manor considering the amount of work that is put into making it.

    Meeting Doug was from the beginning a peace of mind knowing that I would have the best memories of our Wedding day because of his professionalism from the first time we met.
    Our Wedding was a combination of 2 different nationalities Mexican and Persian
    So Doug was so talented to edit a wonderful final product with the patience to add the perfect combination of music from our different cultures, traditions and languages working with me before and after the Wedding to have now the most wonderful memory of our Wedding Day. The moments alive!
    DOUG IS THE BEST!

    We were so pleased with our video from Doug and Afterglow Weddings Maui! Our wedding was the most special day, and our DVD really captured the intimacy and all the emotions we felt that day. Since we eloped to Maui, it was wonderful to be able to show all of our friends and family at home our wedding. We had several guests comment during our at-home reception that our video made them feel like they were standing on the beach with us! Communication with Doug was easy and prompt during planning, which we appreciated greatly from 3,600 miles away. Our video also arrived quickly and safely, in perfect time. Doug even emailed to make sure it had arrived! We will forever cherish our time on Maui, and are very thankful to Doug for his time, talent, and expertise. Mahalo!

    We are so grateful to have found Doug of Afterglow Weddings! We knew we wanted to have our ceremony documented and a highlight video, and we are so glad we have this to treasure always. Doug was very professional and stealth--we did not even notice him recording! He created a wonderful video with great angles, even with our officiant who blocked views. We would highly recommend Doug to any couple looking for an affordable, talented videographer! You will not regret it.

    Doug was a pleasure work with. We had to hire him last minute and he was very accomadating and helpful. On the day of the wedding he came and introduced himself and made sure to discuss with me what it was that I wanted the video to be styled after. He went around videotaping every magical moment without being intrusive.

    He asked us promptly via email about music selections and the we received the final cut within 3 weeks of the wedding. The video was wonderful and we love showing it to family and friends. I would not hesitate recommending Doug to other brides. Doug is a kind and warm soul and I enjoyed meeting him.
