October wedding

You captured the best night of our lives and then gave us the ability to re-live it over and over again thanks to your amazing photographs and video! Cinematic Images took multiple hours to sit with us to plan our bug day and then dedicated many hours afterwards to provide us with the best memories we could ask for. Their attention to detail and ability to lead us through the day, set up the lighting to capture the perfect shots and made sure to capture every moment we didnt know we needed! This team is amazing and would hire them over and over again!

Hiring them was one of our BEST decisions!

Lydia and Criag made our photo/video planning so easy and not stressful. They are very responsive, respectful of your decisions and preferences, and they truly care about your wedding and capturing every single moment! They were also fun to work with, and we can't believe how perfect our pictures and videos are! They create a wedding video AND they give you all raw footage of the entire day! Thank you, Lydia and Craig, :-)

The best videographers in the industry!

Craig and Lydia are not only exceptional at their job, they are also amazing people. I got married over four years ago, and I had some disappointing RAW footage from my wedding that I had from a different vendor, and they seamlessly edited the footage as well as creating a beautiful highlight video for us. We now have something to reflect on that captures all the critical moments. In addition, they were also so personable, kind, and caring and made me feel right at home. They welcomed me as though I'd known them all of my life. I wish I had found them when I had my wedding and used them. They are incredibly talented, and I could not be any happier with the masterpiece they made for my husband and me. Look no further; Cinematic Images are the best there is!!!! Thank you both from the bottom of my heart!

Cinematic Images

Cinematic Images was recommended to me by a friend. I wasn’t sure if I was going to have my wedding day video taped but I’m glad I did. I reached out to them and they got back to me right away. Lydia and Craig met with me and showed me their work. I couldn’t have been more pleased. If I had know about them before I booked my photographer I would have had them photograph the wedding as well. Also, I got my video back a lot sooner than expected. I would recommend them for all special events.

Lydia and Craig were the best videographers we could have asked for for our wedding. They were so easy to communicate with and they made incredible videos of our wedding! We can't thank them enough for their responsiveness, attention to detail, and kindness. They are truly professional and we would highly recommend them.

Wedding videographer

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lydia and Craig. In the beginning, I wasn’t sure I should have a videographer as it’s another expense upon an already expensive day, but not for one second do I regret this well made decision. I love my photos, but being able to relive the day with video is priceless. From the moment I booked with them, it was easy and seamless. We worked out the plan for the day of the wedding beforehand so there was no stress on the day of. They helped me figure out what I needed and even offered a payment plan so I could get everything I wanted! On my wedding day, Craig was so wonderful! He was professional and unobtrusive and while I didn’t really know what he was getting, the end result was more than I could have wished for! I can’t stop watching my videos! After the wedding, when the videos were sent to me, they worked with me on minor things until it was perfect and once again seamlessly with quick responses and helpful advice! If you are in search of a wedding videographer, I can only say I highly recommend them and know you will love them and more importantly love the end results!

Great people, great service!

Lydia and Craig were amazing to work with! We loved their documentary style and are so happy with the final result. Along the way, they were flexible and allowed us to take our time to make decisions about figuring out exactly what we wanted. Day of they arrived early and stayed in the background and sometimes I forgot they were even there! This allowed for them to get shots of everyone having fun and acting naturally. If you are looking for documentary style Cinematic Images is the way to go!

Grateful for Our Video

The Cinematic Team is amazing! We watch our wedding video EVERY YEAR on our anniversary, this being year 7. They still had my footage saved from 7 years ago and were able to email me a link to download the video for easy access from my computer. Our DVD came with a full video of the entire day and a summary video with highlights. The summary video was great to share with family and friends!!

Engagement Shoot

Right from the start, my fiancé and I clicked with Lydia and Craig. They were amazing to work with for our engagement shoot. They were well prepared and made us feel comfortable during the shoot. Lydia and Craig found so many cute spots in downtown Mystic for the shoot. They got us in the moment and made it feel natural. Our pictures came out beautifully, we couldn’t ask for better. We can’t wait to work with them again on our wedding day!!

Professional but make it fun

Craig and Lydia may secretly be Superman and superwoman... They were easy to work with right from the start. I wanted elopement and country wedding they were on board to give me both. Due to a scheduling conflict at Hartford city hall it was impossible to get there because the road was closed. I was in the car literally in shock when I receive a call from Lydia. She positively read my mind and we went on with our day. They brought our day back to life and made it even more magical for us. Even in legit chaos they kept their cool and positive. Bottom line you want Craig and Lydia.

Cannot recommend Lydia & Craig more! From our first inquiry, they were fast to respond, super good at communication, and very transparent about their (quite competitive pricing). On the day of they were on time and were able to capture so many beautiful moments without getting in the way of guests - we barely knew they were there! We are so pleased with their high-quality footage and they were such a joy to work with from start to finish! Would highly recommend!!

Cinematic Images was simply amazing! They helped make our special day perfect, even with unexpected rain on our wedding day they were able to quickly figure out a plan B and still got us the most beautiful pictures. We love our video as it captured every special moment that we can look back at for years to come. All the pictures were just beautiful. They are super responsive, helpful, organized and made it so we did not have to worry about a thing! I highly highly recommend using them for any of your needs!

The perfect team to capture our special day!

We were married on September 25, 2021. We initially had a videographer scheduled however due to a mix up with our photographer we had to find another vendor. Although it was initially stressful and disappointing, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Within the first few minutes of meeting Craig and Lydia, I knew I had to look no further. They are both wonderful, they make you feel comfortable and I knew they were meant to be part of our wedding day. From the very beginning, they responded to my inquiries timely, they reassured me that everything would turn out great and they fulfilled on their promise. We had a small, intimate wedding and although we barely noticed their presence, they captured all of the most important moments, expressions and emotions throughout the ceremony and reception. As you anticipate what your special day will look like, you have to have confidence in your vendor team. This team will not disappoint you and you will be so thankful for hiring them as you look back at your wedding video and relive the day over and over again. Our guests complimented their demeanor, their personalities and how great they were. I felt like a proud parent, excited to hand out their contact information for anyone needing a photographer and/or videographer. Thank you so much for being part of our day and for capturing such a great video that we can view over and over again. Jeff already talks about renewing our vows and their is no doubt we will reach out to you first for our photography and video needs! Thank you so much for everything and may you continue to be blessed.

They took so many beautiful photos and made it painless… such beautiful, wonderful people. I will definitely recommend them to everyone I know.

Captured every moment

Cinematic Images went above and beyond for my wedding. They came an hour before their start time to make sure they caught my first look, and the highlight reel had me crying and laughing at the same time. They also provided us with a photo booth that was Covid-friendly and they cleaned every prop between guests. They stayed later than the were contracted to, and I am so grateful for their service on the best day of my life.

Great quality !

If you are on the fence about getting a videographer definitely get one! The night was a blur so we were so thankful to have the footage afterward. Lydia and Craig did a great job. They were quick to answer any questions and were very easy to communicate with. We got the basic package and got 30min video of the ceremony, about a 3 min video of when we were taking formal pictures which was nice and 1.5 hour video of the reception. They got all the good moments! We also barely noticed they were there filming! Our only regret is that we didn’t pay extra to have them stay until the end of the reception!

Have recommended to all my friends

When my husband and I first began planning our wedding we were convinced we didn't need a videographer due to the extra expense, but we couldn't have been more wrong! Lydia and her husband did a fantastic job of capturing all the little moments we would have otherwise missed. They were present and professional, but not invasive or distracting when filming our special day. We're so happy with the footage they took and that we have something to look back on with all the people we love dancing and having a wonderful time.

Cinematic Images (Lydia & Craig) met and exceeded all expectations for myself and my wife. We were immensely pleased with the final product as well as the communication, professionalism, and dedication to craft shown by both throughout the process. We would highly recommend Cinematic Images to any soon to be bride and groom on their special day.

Absolutely AMAZING!!

Perfect does not even begin to describe the experience that we had with Craig and Lydia from Cinematic Images and the services that they provided for our wedding. From the beginning of the planning process they were so easy to work with. They were professional, easy to communicate with, and truly invested in capturing our special day. We were blown away by the products that they delivered. Since receiving our highlight video, a day has not gone by that we have not watched it. After the wedding day, we communicated back and forth about music, and the moments that we did, and did not want featured in our video. The day of our wedding they were very discrete. There were many clips from the highlight video that were surprises to us because we did not know that they were filming in those moments. We were very impressed with the way they matched the music to the action that was taking place in the shot. We are so happy that we chose Craig and Lydia for our video and love that we can now relive that day at any moment. If you want worry free experience with an exceptional final product Cinematic Images will give that and so much more!

Fabulous Experience

We decided very last minute that we would like to give our daughter and son-in-law a video of their wedding as a gift ..and to be honest, as her parents.. it was a gift for us too!.. The day would be over before we knew it..BEST DECISION...Once I spoke with Lydia she explained the entire process to me ...her and Craig could not have been easier to work with..They took care of everything ...we didn’t even know they were there ...I cannot say enough about them.. FABULOUS EXPERIENCE..Very professional..BEAUTIFUL FINAL PRODUCT .

Incredibly Talented, Open, Proactive and Receptive

Lydia and Craig were the perfect wedding photographers. Not only were they affordable, but they listened to our every request AND went out of their way to find shots that they believed we would like without even needing us to ask. In every scenario in which we could have gotten married, without a doubt, Cinematic Images would be in charge of our photographs.

My cousin Brian used Cinematic Images for his wedding and highly recommend them. Him and his wife watch their video on their anniversary every year. That really spoke to me and solidified my decision to use them for my wedding. Our video came out amazing and we have watched it at least six times since our June wedding. It was such a pleasure working with them on our big day! If you're on the fence about getting a video you should definitely do it ! Not only do you get to relive your wedding day ,you will see all the moments you may have missed . We would highly recommend Cinematic Images !!

Affordable. Professional. Amazing quality. Amazing customer service.

Lydia at Cinematic Images and her husband, Craig are amazing at what they do! Not only did they give us a customized video package, but were very detailed in what they have to offer and how they could accommodate our needs. The two of them went above and beyond what we asked for. I couldn't be happier with our video and how they captured our day. They even got to know us a little bit and included quirky moments in our highlight video, that I truly believe most artists wouldn't have. Thank you Craig and Lydia for a beautiful video, service, and memory!

I dont even know where to start, from the moment we met Craig and his wife Lydia we knew everything was going to be a success, we love the chemistry between them and how they are so professional at what they do, they explained everything and gave us the best photo/video package according to our needs, fast forward a couple of weeks I receive my photos and videos very nicely organized and ready for me to download and share with family and friends, the photos are beyond beautiful and so are the videos, we are completely in love with everything they did, they have a lovely personality and are super talented. we will recommend them to everyone we know. Thank you so much Lydia and Craig :)

Cinematic images captured the most special moments of our wedding day. Right from the beginning, they were so fun and helpful to work with. They also were very quick in responding to any questions that we had. Cinematic Images were very accommodating to our needs. They also captured our day without any interruptions or issues. I feel like I never even saw them! Our highlight video couldn't be more perfect, as well as the ceremony, reception, and formals. It was almost as though they immediately knew who all of our closest family and friends were. I highly recommend Cinematic Images for your wedding day!!

We found Craig and Lydia through a close friend. They did everything possible to make this the best day of our lives and it was. The professionalism and effort they put forth was out of this world. We couldn't be happier with the service. Also the same day edit was mind blowing. We didn't tell anyone about it and everyone loved it. Thank You so much Craig and Lydia!!!!

Wow! Is all I can say about our experience with CVP. Both 2nd marriages. CVP much better than 1st marriage...I know from experience. Heard about CVP from family and they came to DC for wedding. Lucky to get them for over July 4. We hired Lydia and Craig for rehearsal dinner, pre-wedding, wedding and reception. They were unbelievable: Professional, creative, friendly...they really cared. For the Rehearsal Dinner, a lot of family hadn't seen each other in years so important to catch those reunions . They were on it, in the right place when cousins met for 1st time etc. Photos are fantastic! For Pre-Wedding with bride - when I was nervous, Craig made me and bridal party feel at ease. He was so creative with showing my gown, tiara, bouquets etc. Touching moments with Matron and Maid of Honor helping get ready. Relaxed limo ride to venue with bridal party chatting as we anticipated the big day. - also captured on film .For guys at the hotel, some great warm yet light-hearted moments with groom and his sons/ my sons. Brought smiles to our faces looking at photos today - tying ties and helping each other get ready. For wedding , (at a DC Monument outdoors at 100F) they captured every moment so well. So many different angles. Didn't even feel their presence...incredibly unintrusive to us and guests! (they have long lenses that allow them to stand far away but get the most intimate of expressions). Group photos very pleasant. U can see that in expressions of guests. Photograph large groups is difficult to get all looking good - but they did!! The Reception on boat on Potomac River. Could've been difficult, but CVP captured decor, kids' table, toasts, dancing, cake cut and even an impromptu dance session with little kids completely unplanned...they got it!!! Now we are look at amazing collection of photos, reliving the day...CVP didn't miss a thing. Our experience was so positive and we have such a good feeling about our wedding and these photos we'll treasure.

Highly recommend Craig & Lydia!! We had an issue with another phony photographer and 6 days before our wedding!! I looked at the reviews for Cinematic Images and called them immediately. I was completely taken away by their professionalism and exciting personalities!! I hired them and could not be happier with all their ideas for the shotlist!! They were so gracious and patient I can't say enough about them!! I can't wait to see the finished product!! Thanks again Craig & Lydia !! You were amazing!!

I first saw Lydia and Craigs work when we viewed our friends daughter's wedding video. I knew at that moment that I wanted them as our daughter and son-in-law's videographer. If you want perfection in every way, look no further. Your guests will be "oohing and aahing" and saying "how did they do that!" as they watch the same day edit at your reception. Clear, steady, just beautiful in every way. Best value of our wedding expenses! PegFach MOB

Lydia and Craig were great to work with. Not only are they super nice and charismatic, but really professional and devoted to making their clients happy. Our video was amazing; watching it totally brought us back to the big day, and we were able to see so many things that we missed because were all over the place. It is such good quality (clear and steady) and we can't wait to share it with our friends and family.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Craig and Lydia for quite some time, but was still blown away by the professionalism and quality of their work! They were truly amazing the day of our wedding, somehow managing to capture each moment without ever once being intrusive or even noticeable!! I've been to plenty of weddings where the videographers unfortunately made their presence very known, being in the way on the dance floor and in the middle of each important moment. This was so not the case with Craig and Lydia! Looking at our wedding video, I'm still amazed that they were able to capture the amazing feeling of our wedding day and never once have their presence feel unnatural! They are truly amazing to work with and I would HIGHLY recommend Classic Video Productions!

Working with Lydia and Craig was such an amazing experience. From the first contact, they were always incredibly responsive to every question and email. On the wedding day, they came early, were very flexible with us running a little late and then even stayed through the end of the reception. They were unobtrusive for us and for our guests but were able to capture so many amazing moments on film. The final product we received was absolutely perfect! Great value, great experience, great people. I would highly recommend CVP!

Lydia and Craig are phenomenal! At first, my husband and I weren't going to have a videographer, but quickly changed our minds a few months before our wedding after seeing a friend's highlight video that they did. It was the best decision we made. And we were so lucky they still had our date available. They captured every special moment from our day. And now we have those memories to share with friends and loved ones for years to come! Just know if you go with them, you are getting top notch, AMAZING work! So, so happy with Lydia and Craig's work!

Classic Video Production is a dream to work with and I have recommended them to all of my friends. I was overwhelmed with wedding planning and my mother actually found CVP online and when we met with them in their studio and saw their demos I was blown away. Lydia and Craig worked as a team to film and edit our wedding video both on the day and beyond. Craig captured my bridesmaids and I getting ready and my family putting together last minute details before we left for the church. Everytime we asked Craig to get something on film he would cheerfully respond that he had already captured the moment but while we were living it naturally. Craig was always 3 steps ahead of me and knew what we would want to see played back in film later. I was especially thankful for this because my photographer did not take any "getting ready" shots so to still have them captured is something I treasure.

We opted to have the same day wedding video so the guests were blown away to be able to get a behind the scenes look at the wedding day. I was shocked as well at not only how well/seamless/beautiful everything looked but at the amount they were able to show! I strongly recommend this is you are working with CVP.

From booking CVP, working with them on our wedding day and receiving the final edit of our wedding video- CVP was so easy that they made my wedding day much smoother for me. I can wholeheartedly say that CVP and the video memories that they captured are my favorite thing to look back on of the day. Wrapping this review with the final note of 5 stars for CVP.

What can we say about Craig & Lydia - they are "top shelf"! They were awesome to deal with, very down to earth and they truly just wanted to make your wedding day perfect and all about "you". Isn't that how it is should be! They were very professional and truly experienced (the equipment they have is amazing)! They were never in the forefront, in fact my guests didn't even notice them throughout the day. If you want "quality" work, and people who are always pleasant to deal with (always with a smile) then Craig & Lydia at "Classic Video Productions" are the choice for your special day. Truly one of a kind. Our video came out beautiful, love it and love them!

Our wedding was planned for October and last minute in September I decided to book Lydia and Craig. Thank god they were available!! Do not let people talk you out of video, Hire Lydia and Craig. They were both so nice and easy to work with. I originally did not want a video but after watching two friends' videos CVP did and crying through them both, I knew I wanted one. They are professional and non-invasive on wedding day, which was important to me. They just do what they do best and send you back their magic. Well worth it!

Classic Video Productions was the best decision we made! Craig and Lydia are very professional and wonderful to work with! We are sad that our wedding is over and won't be working with them anymore. During the planning process, Lydia responded very quickly to all my emails and questions. On the day of my wedding, they made me feel like a princess! They captured the most precious moments and made everyone feel comfortable on camera. It was important to me that the camera wasn't in guests faces and making people feel awkward and my guests didn't even notice they were there! Our video and same day edit was amazing and great quality too! I can't say enough about Classic Video Productions! My two best friends used them for their weddings as well and have nothing but outstanding remarks to say. I wish I could work with them all over again! Thank you!

Craig and Lydia did such a great job with our wedding video! I met with them before the wedding to discuss package options and they were both so friendly and helpful. They showed me sample videos to get an idea of what the final product would look like. The day of the wedding they were very professional and did a great job getting the shots they needed to make our video truly special. They had a lot of creative ideas and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera.

We opted for the "live edit" feature (highly recommend this option!) which is a short video shown at the reception that includes a slideshow of us growing up and then live video and music from that morning! Needless to say our guests (and us) LOVED IT. People were talking about it for months! The final video was about a 90 day turn around, and it was worth the wait. We absolutely love it! Craig and Lydia did such a great job editing and condensing the long day into something we could watch over and over again. We received copies on DVD and MP4 (USB). Turns out we had some trouble with the MP4, it works on our laptop but not on our smart tv, but this seems to be a problem with our smart tv. Regardless, Craig & Lydia went above and beyond to try and help us figure this out.

I highly recommend CVP to anyone getting married! Craig and Lydia helped us capture the most beautiful and unforgettable memories of our special day!

We love our wedding video! Lydia and Craig are so amazing! They capture the most wonderful moments of your day/night. They treated us like family from the very start! We have had so many people gush over our video. Our ten minute recap of the ceremony and the reception showed so many great moments...we couldn't wait to watch the video in full. Many of our guests didn't even realize there were camera's in the room! The background music that was chosen to go with the video is so perfect...Lydia and Craig are truly the nicest people and go above and beyond making their videos so special!

Capturing my big day on video was one of the most important things to me. Craig and Lydia were unbelievably professional and there work is amazing. They were always responsive to any questions I had and were happy to meet with me as many times as I needed. We are so happy with our video and the beautiful same day edit they did. James and I as well as our guests thought it was amazing. Thank you!! I would definitely recommend them to anyone. ;o)

Craig and Lydia were absolutely amazing! We met with them a few months prior to our wedding and after our meeting, we felt like we knew them for years! After all of the people we interviewed, it was a no brainer that Craig and Lydia were the ones for us! Their level of professionalism and creative direction throughout the whole process was impeccable. My husband and I were blown away by what an AMAZING job they did with our wedding video. We absolutely love it! They were able to capture every moment of our special day with such creative flair. The best investment we made in our wedding was with Craig and Lydia from Classic Video Productions because they captured the moments we were present for, but they also captured every moment that we missed because we were all over the place that day. We will have a lifetime to treasure our special day and relive those moments in time thanks to the superior video that Craig and Lydia produced for us.

So many couples think a videograph of their wedding is not as necessary as the photography, but we actually love to look at our daughter's wedding video far more frequently than the photos. The film picks up so many little nuances of the day. Craig and Lydia LaPlante do a phenomenal job....especially the double camera of the ceremony is worth every bit of the extra cost....you see both the bride and the groom as they say their vows. You see all your guests talking and dancing and it is great fun to look at all the little things like the intros, first dance, parent dances, bouquet throwing, and dancing. The picture and sound quality is exceptional....you cannot go back and "retake" the day and we decided to put the priority on the video services and cut out other "fluff" like candy and photo booths. We really did the right thing.

To be honest, Craig and Lydia had to be two of the most important people at our wedding. When we told others we were thinking of hiring someone to record our wedding some people just couldn’t understand why we would "waste" our money on a videographer however I have to tell you it was by far the BEST decision we could have ever made! The instant we met Craig and Lydia we feel in love with their personalities, drive and pure love for what they do, we knew right away they were the ONLY ones we would want to do this job. We unfortunately had to change our wedding date due to an illness in the family and Craig and Lydia could not have been more accommodating and understanding. They have a pure passion and talent for capturing the love of not only the bride and groom but the love that is shared between family and friends. We chose to have a same day edit to share during our reception and it was the highlight of the day, my guest are still talking about how wonderful it was!! I could go on and on about craig and Lydia and the amazing job that they do but the point is your day will flash before eyes and although you may think you will remember every detail, you won’t but you will want to relive it and actually see it again and again. Having a videographer, Craig and Lydia in particular, was the best decision we could have made, we highly suggest you do the same!

Before I tell you why you need to book Craig and Lydia, I must emphasize that getting a videographer is probably the best decision we made for the wedding. The day is over in a blink of an eye, but the work done by Craig and Lydia will allow my family to relive the day for years to come.

Now on to Craig and Lydia - if you did not call them up to book yet, you should now because they are booked for MONTHS in advance. That's right, a videographer that is just as popular as a wedding venue! That is a testament for how great they were :-).

From the moment that we met with Classic Video Productions, I knew that Craig and Lydia were going to take care of us. They are very professional while being two kind hearted people that want to get to know you to enhance the video experience. They were prompt the morning of the wedding the video my wife getting ready, then to capture the groomsmen getting ready, they were at our first look photographs, and blended in throughout the ceremony and reception to capture all the best moments. To top it all off, as Craig videos the day, Lydia is in their awesome tech van editing the video from Craig so they can show a 5-10 minute video to recap the day to our guests DURING the wedding. It was so cool to see the preparations, the guests, and ceremony.

Later that night and through the next day, my guests raved about the video and the professionalism of both Craig and Lydia. This was their THIRD wedding that they produced for our family alone (two of my wife's cousins weddings) and I know they will be back as my aunt, with three children, has already contacted them.

Book them today - you will not regret it.

Best,

The day of my wedding, the videographers were very professional and as promised, they stayed out of our way and "stole" their shots from the photographers. He occasionally gave me directions (e.g., when I was walking into my venue and heading to the bridal suite, he asked me to walk in a different direction so he could get a better shot). During the dancing portion of the reception, he did get a bit in my face with the camera, but I was able to ignore it after a few minutes. It was just weird at first.

This husband and wife team are friendly and affable. They were the one and only videography company we talked to because we loved their personalities that much and that is very important when finding a vendor.

I do love that they offer PAL format DVDs as I had family who traveled from Italy for the wedding, so we wanted to order a DVD for them. Also, we were able to work it out that we can get all of our raw footage if we provided a hard drive, so we did. They did not mind giving us our raw footage as they agreed that despite them taking the video, we are partial owners of the footage as we are the subjects of the video.

UPDATE (07-31-14): I finally got my DVDs in and we LOVE the results! My husband and I watched them and were like "WOW!!! So THAT'S what happened on our wedding day!!!" It was such a blur and so busy that we don't really remember it all that well. The shots of our venue were stunning. There was even a short clip of one of the ferries passing by on the LI Sound that they added in as filler that we though was really pretty and helped to really capture our outdoor, seaside venue. The music was very tasteful and fit perfectly. A bonus was that our guests barely noticed Craig there, so there were great candid shots from the reception. We definitely would recommend them to anyone who asked. We ordered the summary recap as well and we're glad we did we wouldn't want to subject our friends to the whole 2 hour video.

We have used Classic Video Productions and could not have been happier with their services. They promptly get back to inquiries, they are very unobtrusive at the actual ceremony and the videos could not have been better. We feel like we are right back at the wedding re-living it over again. The price is right and we would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a great videographer who is both professional and very easy to work with.

It's our two year anniversary and we just watched the wedding recap video. It is amazing! I still can't get over how great it is and the fantastic job Craig and Lydia did. They captured the night perfectly and were great to work with. I am so glad we decided to get a video. A great job by Classic Video Productions!!

Our videographer, Classic Video Productions (CVP) was amazing. Craig and Lydia did a fantastic job creating our slideshow (photo montage of us growing up that was played during dinner). We were married on April 20th and just received our wedding video, and it was so much fun to watch and relive our special day again. They captured all of the important moments from the ceremony to the reception. The footage was flawless and they did an incredible job recapping our wedding from start to finish. I am thrilled with what a wonderful job they did. Having a photo album is wonderful, but having a video of your wedding day is completely worth it. We can’t wait to watch it in years to come. If you’re getting married soon, absolutely call CVP, you’ll be glad you did.

Our situation was a little different than most. We hired another videographer to video our wedding 7 yrs ago... They filmed our wedding and then did not finish the job. They left us with about 11 unedited DVDs. It's absolutely devastating to not have a completed video from your magical day...
Lydia and Craig finally changed that for us! They were the videographers for my best friend's wedding (who's video came out amazing). My husband contacted Lydia and Craig to see if they could do anything with our DVDs... They ended up creating an amazing video for us! We were both brought to tears when we were finally able to watch our video 7 years later.
Lydia and Craig did not have an easy task with our job either... The quality of most of the DVDs were not good- but they really out did themselves with what they had to work with! I highly recommend them!!!

Classic Video Productions is a great company to work with. Lydia was very responsive and even proactive in contacting us to make sure every detail of our video was worked out in advance.

Craig and Lydia are by far the best! They were so great to work with throughout the entire wedding planning period and our video was amazing! They caught every moment of a day that went too fast and we could not have asked for more. If you want a responsible and worry free videography then you want to go with them. Never was there a time where we were concerned about them and honestly it makes the planning so much easier to be able to trust your vendors! Nothing but amazing things to say about two very talented and dedicated people!

We got married in Antigua in November of 2005 and then had our reception here two months later January of 2006. Craig and Lydia filmed our reception AND took the video that we got in Antigua and made it into a slideshow which we showed at our reception with actual video footage from Antigua. We had 220 people at the reception and I can't tell you how many people were blown away with the video they made, and the many friends who have used them since. I can honestly say my husband did not want a videographer, but after seeing our friends wedding video, he was convinced. It is the BEST investment that we made for our wedding. I can tell you we NEVER open our photo album, but my kids LOVE to watch the wedding video, as well as me and my husband. My six year old daughter cries every time she watches it. I loved using Craig and Lydia and recommend them to everyone I talk to who is planning a wedding. They are wonderful people and truly have a gift at what they do! We also used them to create a slideshow for my mother's 60th birthday party and also for transferring our camcorder videos onto DVD's. They are wonderful...I am pretty picky, and you WON'T be disappointed!

Craig and Lydia LaPlante were amazing to work with! Not only did they deliever their promise on a fabulous wedding video, but there were also incredibly easy to work with, organized and detail oriented through the whole process. When you are planning a wedding, you have to deal with a number of different vendors and personalities, and I think it's just as important to have somebody on your side that is reliable EVERY step of the way. They even went above and beyond and put together a mini video that summarized the entire night for us to show people that werent able to attend the wedding. I would highly recommened them to anybody looking for a videographer for any occasion!

Classic Video Productions did an amazing job capturing the moments from our wedding day. Craig and Lydia are very professional and work to supply you with the best wedding video you can have. After signing our contract with Craig and Lydia they continued to build a relationship and stayed in contact with us until the very last day until our wedding and after our wedding day. The quality of the wedding video and same day edit are amazing! The same day edit was an element guests at our wedding said they have never seen and added a special touch to our day. We would greatly recommend them to anyone.

I cannot say enough kind words about Craig and Lydia. They came as a recommendation from our photographer - who said they were extremely professional and most of all unintrusive with their recording or equipment. We booked them immediately when we met with them - and also booked their "same day edit" feature for our wedding - which is a short slideshow and video played during dinner at the reception. WE ARE SO GLAD WE DID THIS!!! When the day arrived - Craig and Lydia were at my parent's house early to get shots of us getting ready - and they were so friendly and professional! At the reception, the "same day edit" show was played on a large screen so all guests could see - and I cannot express how AMAZING it was!!! It was a recap of the earlier events of the day - the girls getting ready, bride getting ready, walking down the aisle, even up to our introductions at the reception! It was beautifully edited - they captured so many amazing moments as well as funny things! It was so good - our friends and family were RAVING about it - at the reception and even weeks later still! There was really not a dry eye in the whole reception hall - people were amazed - especially my husband and I. We have received our DVD and it is JUST AS AMAZING.

I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Craig and Lydia and classic video productions - they really gave our wedding that WOW moment that people will talk about forever and that special something that made our wedding unique. If you are debating a videographer - LOOK NO FURTHER!! Craig and Lydia will make your wedding special and capture all the important moments without being the least bit intrusive on any part of your wedding.

Craig and Lydia were absolutely amazing! The same day edit was a hit, our friends and family are still watching it! Our video was completed in time for christmas, which was so much faster than I would have ever imagined and we had such a great time watching it! They really captured all the most important moments and made it just as fun and exciting as the actual day. I cannot say enough about them and all they did for us!

Working with Craig and Lydia was an amazing experience! Their work exceeded our expectations. My husband was reluctant to hire a videographer for our wedding. I had met them at a bridal show and brought my husband to meet them and see their work. (After the wedding, it was my husband who wanted me to call to see if it was ready yet!) My husband was concerned about having "someone in your face". This sums up how unobtrusive they were: after watching the video highlights online, my maid of honor said, "You had a videographer? I never saw him!"
During our reception I decided that I wanted coverage until the end and Craig stayed until our last song!
We had two cameras during our ceremony and one for the rest of the day. Craig and Lydia captured the most important day of our lives and we have a fantastic video to relive it. Our parents each have a copy and are thrilled as well.
It was important to me to have a video of our day, and I recommend it to any bride, but I strongly recommend meeting Craig and Lydia and seeing how they can capture the day for you!

Classic Video Productions did an amazing job on our wedding video and provided us with a memory that we will always treasure. They are true professionals and are so unintrusive on your wedding day that you barely know they're there, and then when you get the gorgeous video you are so thrilled with what they captured and created. They also do a great job of sitting down with you as a couple and getting a sense of your style and wants and provide you with a gorgeous video that fits you as a couple. We chose to do the "highlight reel" montage set to music and they did a 2-camera shoot in HD during our ceremony, both of which I would highly recommend. We also had a reception to attend about a month after our wedding in another state and they worked with us to provide our video by that time so we could share it with family & friends. I would HIGHLY recommend Classic Video Productions.

Classic Video Productions is the BEST in the business. We were on the fence about getting a video in the first place, but now we can say it was the BEST investment from our whole wedding! We watch the video with family and friends all the time, and it is literally like re-living the day. The quality is outstanding and every person who has watched the footage exclaims the same comment: "wow, this is the best wedding video I have ever seen!" It truly has been a wonderful experiece working with this company. You'll cherish their work forever.

I would definitely recommend Class Video Productions to any bride who is looking for high quality professional videography services. I have used them for both my daughter's weddings as well as for a birthday tribute.
They are very discreet as they are recording, to the point that you do not even notice them yet they capture all the most important moments of the day. And the finished product is a treasure! They are very easy to work with and I have had absolutely no issues with any requests I have made of them or accomodations I have asked for either during the event or in the production of the final product. Kudos to CV Productions!

Lydia and Craig from Classic Video Productions were so helpful, kind, and professional. Their videography was one of our favorite parts of the wedding and we are so grateful to them for capturing moments from the best day of our lives. We added on the Same Day Edit feature to show highlights from the wedding during the reception and it was such a hit! Everyone commented on how great that was. The wedding video that they created for us helps us to relive our wedding day and we have Lydia and Craig to thank for that. I would definitely recommend them to other couples about the get married!

We knew when we went to first meet Craig & Lydia in their home studio that we had found the perfect people to shoot our wedding. But we were still surprised at the result - it was absolutely one of the best wedding decisions we made. The video was perfect - we cry every time we watch it. Craig was able to capture every special moment, and from multiple angles, while working by himself! We could not be happier. We will cherish our video and be able to relive the wedding forever - and we have Classic Video Productions to thank for that. Would recommend to EVERYONE. You won't be disappointed.

Craig and Lydia were great. They came early to make sure they got video of me in my gown and were so personable and friendly. Everyone at the wedding loved them, and a few relatives went home with their business card. They were unintrusive and professional. The recap is highly recommended - it came out great!

Nick and I are so happy with classic video productions. The service was professional and very accomadating. Craig and his wife made the day less stressful and able to provide us with helpful information and suggestions. Helped to ease the stress of planning the day. I highly recommend Classic Video Productions to any one who is looking to capture the day and keep the memories ongoing. We had the recap viewed during our wedding day. I don't think there was a dry eye left in the reception hall. Truly fantastic!!!

I found Classic Video Productions through a friend who had them and loved them. I was at that wedding and didn't even notice they were there. My experience with them was the best. Our video is amazing. They caputured everything I remember and events I wasn't there for! We are so happy that we have a video of our day. Pictures capture a moment where the video captures everything before, during and after. It was our best investment for our wedding.

Craig and Lydia were very accommodating and professional. They captured every important moment at our daughter Amy Dora's wedding at the Farmington Gardens in Farmington, CT. They went above and beyond our expectations. From the time, we met them to discuss the different options, they were very friendly, they showed us a few samples and, we felt very comfortable. We highly recommend their services.

Best investment ever! Craig and Lydia were able to capture things on our big day that we may have otherwise missed. We have shared the video with many close friends and family and everyone loved it. Everyone also loved the slide show and same day editing that was shown during the wedding reception. I can't even tell you how many people came up to us to comment on how impressed they were with the same day editing. It definitely left a lasting impression with people. We loved working with Craig and Lydia and would highly recommend them to anyone.
