    A video to leave you speechless

    Shane’s work is so incredibly impressive and one of a kind. He captured the real moments and our wedding video has a way of depicting the day as it truly felt to us. Shen went above and beyond to create our beautiful wedding video, to make us comfortable and reassure us during those moments that felt awkward and direct some amazing one of a kind shots. It felt so natural and fun to work with him. The quality and beauty of our highlight video and raw footage is unmatched. We will never be able to thank Cork and Banner enough for capturing exactly what our day was like and how everyone felt. Cork and Banner is a MUST HAVE for your wedding.

    Amazing COVID wedding video

    Shane was the hero of our 2020 COVID wedding. Our families were unable to attend due to travel restrictions and we were unsure when we might be able to have our larger wedding ceremony. We went ahead and did a 2 person wedding (just me and my spouse!) and Shane was there to capture the day on video for our families to enjoy in the days and years to come. We cannot imagine having done this important day without Shane and his amazing work! We received 3 videos--a 60 second sneak peak, a 4 minute elopement style video and the full ceremony. We cannot recommend Shane more highly.

    So Worth It!

    We initially were not going to have a videographer but when we had to move our wedding from May and then had to move forward with it in August, we knew a lot of friends and family would be unable to attend so we wanted to have a way to capture the day and share it with them after. I cannot describe how happy I am that we went with Shane! Not only is he incredibly friendly and professional, but he goes above and beyond to capture the day (including running around a property in 80% humidity to capture a shot) and his work is incredible! Our video has brought not only us, but all our friends and family to tears. He managed to capture everything that made our COVID-compliant day unique and truly showed who we are as a couple in this video in a way that I didn't even know was possible! I know I am going on and on but I just cannot find enough words to describe the level of talent and beauty of Shane's work.

    TL;DR - Hire Cork & Banner Films! You won't regret it!

    Most talented and amazing to work w/ videographer we could have asked for!

    My husband Hunter and I just got married in August (postponed from May) and Shane was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire process! When we had to postpone to a Thursday later in the year we were nervous that not all of our vendors would be available. As soon as we told Shane he immediately responded he would be there! He made us feel so comfortable with everything/asks all the questions you may not be thinking of. The day of our wedding he was THE NICEST, most calm, and caring guy! This honestly helped both Hunter and I feel at ease the day of..we all know it can be a bit overwhelming but it wasn't at all with Shane! The finished product was beyond our expectations and the amount of people who have told us they felt every emotion from our video was insane. I cry happy tears every time I watch it. Shane is that good that now with our wedding being over I'm trying to figure out what else I can have him video in the future.. haha. 20/10 highly recommend!

    Best Decision Ever!!!

    When I started to plan my wedding, I was going through my budget and unsure if I really NEEDED a videographer. As I did research, I spent so much time looking through various videographers work, but never really found anyones videos that I really loved - until I came across Shane at Cork and Banner Films. As soon as I watched one of his videos (of someone I didn't even know!!) I knew I absolutely needed him to be a part of my day. Shane's work is absolutely amazing. He is so talented at what he does, and his work is so wonderfully beautiful. Not only that, but Shane is so kind, and fun to work with. I am so so happy we had Shane with us to capture our day, and believe me when I say he is worth EVERY penny and more! I cannot recommend Shane enough. I hope you all are as lucky as I was to have Shane there to capture, and recreate the best day of my life!

    See how amazing he is for yourself, ya'll!!! https://vimeo.com/381228986

    Personable and Easy to work with!

    From the beginning, Shane was very responsive and helpful in answering all of our questions. He offered different packages based on what we were looking for. He was flexible and so sweet! On the day of, all of the vendors complimented how great Shane was and we would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a personable, flexible, and amazing videographer! Our video also turned out better than we expected! Thank you so much for capturing our day!

    Excellent experience!

    Working with Shane of Cork and Banner Films was beyond amazing! He was so professional, organized, and fun to work with-I would leave more than 5 stars if I could. I was very picky when it came to choosing vendors and Shane exceeded my expectations with his videography! A few days after we were married, he sent us a "sneak peek" video of our wedding day and we watched it over and over again. Shane was excellent and so talented! If you want your wedding day captured perfectly and beautifully, look no further, Cork and Banner is the best of the best!

    An absolute wonder!

    It was an absolute wonder working with Shane. We loved that he was flexible about what we wanted to include in our film package so that it could be individualized to us. And not only did he create magical pieces for us to remember our wedding day, he worked so well with our other vendors to ensure that everything ran smoothly. We were even gifted a teaser video that really iced the cake for us. He was truly everything we wanted and more. Cork & Banner all the way!

    Absolutely perfect.

    Working with Shane was absolutely perfect. He is professional, friendly, responsive, and clearly very talented. We now have a beautiful video to remember our special day as well as raw footage from the day. At first we debated whether or not do this and have video as part of wedding, but we are SO grateful we did. This is something we can look back on and cherish forever. Shane did an exceptional job and was so easy to work with. We would and will recommend him to anyone! The best!

    Professional, Flexible, Talented

    Amazing videographer and film artist. What more is there to say? Shane was incredibly flexible and easy to work with, professional, and had a great vision for our wedding video. He puts A LOT of effort into ensuring your expectations are met. With a stressful and busy process like planning for your wedding, he made sure our experience was easy and simple, he took care of all the planning and made sure to incorporate any shots we wanted, and more importantly he was able to suggest some great angles and shots that we wouldn't have thought of that came out excellent. The equipment he used was top notch and our turnaround time was great, not rushed and not too long. Our final video and extras were everything we could have hoped for.

    115% recommend Shane - above and beyond

    My husband and I were on the fence about videography for our wedding but I cannot say how happy and thankful we are that we not only decided to go for it, but that we picked Shane. He went above and beyond not only during the planning process - helping figure out a cool way to shoot our first dance as part of the video - but on the wedding day itself. There were some scheduling hiccups that were out of our control but Shane didn't miss a beat and again went over and above to make sure everything we wanted was captured - showing really good judgment, flexibility, and patience. I love watching our wedding video and even the raw footage - and he was super responsive and easy to communicate with. Can't recommend him more highly.

    Incredible!!

    Shane was amazing to work with! He was caring, professional, and easygoing. He worked extremely well along side my photographer even though they had never met. He was also sly, nobody even knew he was filming. And the video!!! Was more then I could have hoped for. He does an amazing job of recreating your special day and truly gives you videos you will cherish forever! Watching your video will give you goosebumps, happy tears, and all the good feels from your special day! I highly recommend booking with him.

    Wonderful Experience

    Shane and Brooks with Cork & Banner Films are phenomenal. They were professional, easy to work with and made the process fun. Our wedding video turned out beautifully and so much more than we could have imagined. It really captured all of the special moments of our wedding day and we will truly cherish it for years to come. Many of our guests mentioned how they didn't remember seeing videographers throughout our wedding. This is a true testament to the great work performed by Shane and Brooks. We highly recommend Cork & Banner Films.

    Top notch professionals. Love Love Love our Video

    I can't say enough good things about Shane and Cork & Banner. He was so great to work with from start to finish. He was happy to listen to our likes and suggestions. The day of the wedding somehow he was able to get countless good shots while barely being noticed. The final product blew us away. We have watched it over and over and over again. They were able to capture not just the evening, but tell our story.

    Best Video I've Ever Seen

    The team at Cork & Banner absolutely exceeded our expectations. From the first moment we met with Shane, until the final product, everything was perfect. We went back and forth on whether to even user a videographer for our wedding. I can honestly say it was the best decision we made. Best money we spent!

    Shane was great to work with and is very professional. He followed up with us each step of the way during the wedding planning and captured our day perfectly. I highly recommend him! We checked out 3 other videographers and we made the best choice with Cork and Banner films.

    My videographer cancelled on me the week of my wedding. He did recommend Shane, and I booked him without seeing any of his work. I am so happy with the video he made, it has moved my family and friends to tears.

    Our experience with Cork & Banner Films was nothing short of amazing. Shane was extremely professional and took genuine time to realize our vision for the wedding film. The result left us speechless. Shane captured priceless moments from our special day that left my husband and I in tears as we watched it. As the bride, I truly appreciated Shane’s approach in consulting which was delicate and stress-free. Our friends and family who’s watched our highlight film has given rave reviews. I will forever keep Cork & Banner Films in mind to capture special moments in the future, and I will definitely recommend Shane to friends/acquaintances who are interested in filming special events.

    I cannot recommend Cork & Banner Films enough! Shane was by far the most accommodating and professional wedding vendor that we worked with. From the very beginning, he took the time to sit down and talk with us multiple times, get to know us as a couple, and help to plan out the timeline of our day. When we told him that we would be getting ready at separate locations, he offered to drive to each location the morning of the wedding to get shots of us separately beforehand. We gave him an example of a wedding video that we really loved, and he was able to execute on the elements that we wanted perfectly, while still staying true to his personal style. On the day of our wedding, he made the whole thing feel so effortless that we forgot he was even filming! He gave direction when it was needed, but focused on the natural events of the day. When we got our wedding film back, I was AMAZED by how perfectly he was able to put all of the shots together to tell our story. He truly exceeded even my highest expectations. When we were searching for a videographer, it was important to us that who we chose was someone who would make us feel at ease and natural throughout the day. Shane is someone that you will 100% want to spend your entire wedding day with. We are so happy that we chose to work with Cork & Banner, and will cherish the wedding video that he created for the rest of our lives.

    Shane was perfection! He was very responsive to inquiries and fulfilled all of our needs and requests with professionalism. We spoke on the phone a few times, and met up in person to really get to know each others personalities. His friendliness made it easy to have him be a part of our day. He was on time and exactly where I needed him to be on the day. He remembered the little details I had wanted, plus he got so much more footage of moments that I hadn't thought of.
    On my wedding day, I didn't shed a tear I was so happy. When I watched the Shane's highlight video, I cried and laughed the whole time, he captured the true emotion of the day, and special moments with my family that I had missed.
    Book Shane!!! Fair pricing and a great end product, you need him!

    Shane and Brooks from Cork & Banner Films were amazing! Shane is so easy to communicate with, work with and he's flexible with our requests. We asked him to create an extra video for us that included the entire ceremony. It's something he's never done before but was willing to work with us just so we can have a video that showed the church ceremony and all the full speeches from the reception. It was great!
    I was very particular with picking our videographer. What Shane does to the color of the film made his work stand out for me and that was one of my main concern when I was watching other wedding films. Another request I had was the drone shot and also coming in early to the reception venue while people were setting up. They made it happen!

    Shane with Cork & Banner was a blast to work with! We were unsure about hiring a videographer but after we saw their work I cried, my fiance was blown away and we had to have them! Shane was super flexible about bopping around with our photographer dealing with my bridal melt downs :) We didn't feel like cheesy stock bride and groom -- we felt like ourselves and we felt like Shane knew how to capture it perfectly! We are beyond excited to see the finished product!!

    The price for 10 hours of coverage was more than fair! We had a lot of family that couldn't make it so we did order the raw footage!

    Thank you sooooo much Shane!!! We had such an awesome time we're like brainstorming a reason that we'd need to hang with you again LOL!!!

    I could not be more thankful that my wedding coordinator told me about Shane and Cork & Banner. I was debating even having video/cinematography for my wedding because I hate having my picture taken and hearing my voice on video but also the companies whose work I liked had prices well over $5k. I am so glad I made the decision to hire Shane and have him film our special day. From the very beginning he was engaged, thorough and wanted to make sure he did everything to make our wedding filming and video perfect. He wanted to meet us beforehand and I really liked the extra effort he took to get to know us and our style. I gave him the name of my photographer and he reached out to her and they coordinated all of the film and schedule details which was a huge burden off of me. The day of Shane and his co-filmer Craig met me at the place I was getting ready. They filmed some getting ready footage, pics of the grounds and then met us at the venue for more getting ready, first look and pre-ceremony footage. By the time the ceremony started I forgot Shane was even there! He was professional, not in the way and I was almost worried about how behind the scenes he was because I forgot I was being filmed while crazy dancing! He stayed the entire time until the very end to capture every minute of our day. I was anxious for the video but know they take time and was so pleasantly shocked when just a few weeks later he set me our film. To say I was thrilled with the final product would be an understatement. I have watched it dozens of times already and it perfectly captures the best parts of our day. I will truly treasure the footage of our day and know I will watch it dozens - or probably hundreds! - more times in our future. I can't recommend Shane and Cork & Banner enough. I would have easily paid the $5K+ price for his work, he is a true professional and skilled at film and editing and also just an overall great guy.
