    My now husband's childhood friend knows Buds and his work, and another friend used them for their wedding. Hired them as videographers and they were such a pleasure to work with! They were professional, understanding (because I am not used to being photographed/filmed), they were very patient with me (the bride) and the rest of the party. They knew what they were doing and I love that they travel to NY from NJ with no additional fee! They were very easy to work with, definitely recommend them. I have not seen our video yet (and I am already giving them 5 stars here) and I know I won't be disappointed once we receive the video!

    I don't know how to rate any higher.
    We were very glad we chose Buds Palola to be our videographer. Buds and his assistant were very professional, very easy to work with, and did not get in the way at all. All communication was very prompt and answered every question we had.

    Additionally, both of the videographers were very creative and used very good equipment.

    I actually ran into Buds and his team the morning of the wedding when I ran out of the hotel with my brother to grab some breakfast. I saw them taking shots of the hotel and the surrounding area. Very rarely do you find somebody who takes so much pride in his work and actually shows up 3 hours early to prepare and get the shots that they need.

    I would not hesitate to pick Buds Palola Wedding Films, if I were to suggest a videographer.

    Buds Palola Wedding Films is the BEST videographer we could have chose for our wedding day! Buds is an absolute pleasure to work with. He is highly talented, professional, and creative. Our family and friends commented on how great he seemed to be working all throughout the ceremony and reception. His cameras were not in the way at all, but we know that he got beautiful shots throughout the entire day. My husband and I highly recommend Buds Palola to others looking for a videographer!

    Wow, where to even begin. My husband and I went back and forth for a few months about whether we could afford to hire a videographer. I first emailed Buds about 5 months before our wedding and man, he responded within MINUTES. Every single time I had a question for him he responded immediately.

    We ended up deciding the WEEK before the wedding and Buds was still available and willing to come. He showed up right on time the day of the wedding with his assistant and they were both so friendly and fit right in with the chaos of my house that morning. They weren't in anyone's way, they just did their thing and were very professional and efficient. They went over to my husband's parents house that morning too to film him and his groomsmen as well. And at the reception, they WORKED their butts off nonstop, constantly thinking of cool ideas and making sure they had everything they needed for an awesome video. I don't think I saw them resting once, and it was a LONG day they were with us. Meanwhile my photographer was chilling in the corner with his wife talking, but that's a whole 'nother story.

    I was ready to write them a great review before even SEEING the video and today we just got our highlight video back, and OH. MY. GOD. He made our wedding day like a romantic movie and has EVERYONE I know bawling while watching it. It is absolutely perfect. I can only imagine looking back on this 20, 30, 40 years from now and seeing my husband and I young and in love on our wedding day. You pay so much money for the clothes, hair and makeup and photos don't always do it justice, to see it live on film is really just magical.

    The part I couldn't believe is the price, Buds offers quality others charge 5 times for, and honestly in my research I think his videos are way better. Overall you NEED to hire Buds as your videographer, the only thing you'll regret is not hiring him and having a video as amazing as ours. THANK YOU BUDS!!

    Hiring Buds was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. He was professional, responsive, and a fantastic value. At first we were hesitant to hire a videographer because we didn't want a cheesy slow-fade, soft-focus, "Wind Beneath My Wings" wedding video you so often see, but when we saw Buds' short previews on Vimeo, we were sold. Our wedding video is amazing and will be viewed by us and our family for years to come. We couldn't recommend Buds enough!

    Bud was great and alot cheaper then other videographers out there. I wanted something really nice but inexpensive and I got more than what my money paid for. My family and friends
    Said they will use him for any upcoming events
    Just wish I met him sooner we had so many parties and were not pleased with the video

    Bud and Mike were absolutely WONDERFUL to work with! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Buds Palola Wedding Films and we've recommended Bud to all of our friends and family. We recently got our final edited video and we are so pleased with the finished product. Thank you for giving us an amazing keepsake we will cherish forever!

    AMAZING. I can't say enough about great it was to work with Buds. He was always quick to respond to calls and emails to make sure things would be set for the day of. We booked a package with two photographers. They came early in the morning and they were the last to leave to make sure they got all the footage needed for an awesome video. Though we haven't seen any of his work from our wedding yet, we know it's going to be amazing because of all the work he's done in the past. Both Buds and his assistant Mike were laid back but professional. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!!!! You will not regret it. :)

    Buds Palola Video did a fantastic job with our video. We were blown away with the quality of their work from the start. But after we met them, we were even more impressed with their professionalism As someone involved in the video industry, I was very impressed with the quality and caliber of equipment they use. They captured everything and then some. It's a blast to watch to our video and relive those moments in their entirety. I have and will continue to refer brides who approach me to Buds Palola Video! Thanks guys!

    Buds and his assistant were just absolutely incredible. He started at the grooms house in morris plains then came to east Hanover and then we went down to Marlboro to 2 different locations. He was timely and just shot the most amazing wedding video. He is so considerate and creative and I would recommend him to absolutely everyone. Watch his videos on his website budspalola.com if you don't believe me!

    Out of all the vendors we hired, hiring a videographer was the last thing my husband and I wanted to do. However, with some "coaxing" from our family, we hired Buds and we are so happy we chose to do this. We never had a problem communicating with Buds before and after the wedding. He and the other videographer, Marvin, were great to work with. The finished outcome was AMAZING! We've already seen our trailer and video many times and can't get enough of it. Everyone who has seen the trailer and video love it and more often than not, causes someone to tear up. I cannot stress how important we believe it is to get a videographer...not just any videographer though. This is the person to use! No matter how much you try, it is just impossible to remember everything that happened on your special day. Buds captured everything and it helped us to relive our wedding.

    I just want to say that Buds Palola was a joy to work with. He is a very fun and easy going person and has lots of interesting ideas when it comes to making wedding videos. We enjoyed having him as our videographer. He made our video montage in no time and we got a glimpse of our whole wedding before we can even receive our official video on DVD. Thanks so much again!!! We enjoyed having you as our videographer.

    Jamie and Victoria

    I LOVE everything about them!!! They have done excellent job. I highly recommend using them. Bud is absolutely creative. My cousin had her wedding in November 2010, which is only a couple months away from our wedding. However, Bud was able to make our video absolutely unique compare to my cousin. BEST VIDEO EVER!!!

    We absolutely love our wedding video. They even showed a snippet of the ceremony during the reception and everyone was blown away at how beautiful the video was. They are very easy to work with and made me feel at ease during a very nervous time. Their work is impeccable and they are very prompt with the completion of the video as well as responding to emails/questions.

    Having multiple cameras at the wedding was something I was nervous about. These guys were there in a way that was perfect. They were kind and quiet, and did not interfere with our time. In fact, for the most part, we never knew they were there! They were well prepared and knew what they needed, so they did not need to bother us at all the day of our wedding, which was really important to us!

    We were a little tight with budget but we were determined to hire a professional videographer for our wedding (we know that 20 years down the road, the wedding video will be the only thing that could take us back to this special occasion), so we made it a point to really research for the best value we can get out there. I came across Buds's website and saw samples of his works and I was pretty satisfied. His pricing is reasonable and the quality of work he produces is very good. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

    I would recommend Ferdie to anyone. He's very easy to work with, and I enjoyed the end product that he put together. I was the videographer for my friend's wedding too, and I was excited that she was using him as well. We love our short video as well as the end product.

    I have used the services of Buds Palola on my daughter's sweet sixteen. He's awesome and the best videographer in town. He provides professional coverage
    and made the best edited video of the sweet sixteen so far. His fee is affordable
    compared to others and you really get your moneys worth.

    I first heard Buds Palola Videography from a friend. She hired him for her wedding. When she showed me her wedding video, I was so impressed. I never get tired watching the highlights. Last year I got married, so now I'm watching my own highlights courtesy of Buds Palola Videography...

    My name is Jonas. I lived and Pennsylvania in Levittown. Buds professional service was very excellent and beyond your expectation. When he was referred to me by my friend, I thought it was just like others who after for the project but to my surprised, he executed more that what was expected. My wife and I are very happy for the wonderful services we received from him. He had given us the real memory that we could play again and again on the day with our special day. A million thanks to his wonderful talent.
