    Great experience!

    Wayne and Sean were so easy to work with! They’re very professional and know exactly what they’re doing to make their film perfect. Their directives throughout my wedding day were easy to follow and very natural. I highly recommend using them for your wedding!

    Excellent & fun experience!

    Sean & Wayne are incredible! This father son team is truly like no other. Professional and fun all in one! Sean and Wayne ensured that our day was seamless from the second the arrived making sure we were getting the best shots we could and while maintaining a good time. They way this team worked with my photography team to try and make sure we had enough lighting due to day light savings is truly unmatched. I cannot say enough good things. I cannot wait to see my trailer!!

    The BEST videographer team around!!

    The entire Emerald team was amazing to work with. They made our wedding day so natural that we didn’t even feel like there were cameras around us (this was especially important for my husband who does not like having pictures or videos taken of him)! Their attention to detail and capturing everyone’s emotions was amazing. We had a rainy wedding day, during a break in the rain Dave knew I wanted videos outside and was quick to move and get the footage I wanted! There is no one else I would have wanted to capture the biggest day of my life.

    Unbelievable Quality and Service

    Sean and Wayne are two unbelievably amazing professionals who made my day absolutely perfect. From start to finish they surpassed my husband and my expectations, they also made sure the day ran smoothly with all of the weather obstacles we faced. Sean and Wayne provided the most amazing same day edit that truly meant so much to John and I. We cannot wait to see our wedding video and use them again in the future !! Thank you again for making our day amazing.

    Couldn't have asked for a better videographer!!!!

    Besides knowing Sean half of my life, it was a no brainer to have him as our videographer for the most important day. Sean has always been talented so as soon as we chose our date, he was the first vendor I booked!!! It was the easiest day working with Sean and emerald studios. He made it so easy to capture the best moments throughout the day. We had such a fun time, laughing throughout the day. It really was the best. I felt that Sean and the rest of my vendors were a crucial part of my day. Kept the day going and most importantly kept me calm!!! Always reassuring me to just have a good time. Can't wait to use him and emerald for future events!

    12/3/22 Savino’s!

    If I could book Wayne, Sean & Patrick to everyone I know that gets engaged, believe me I will. Wayne & Sean know EXACTLY how to keep a nervous bride & groom calm & laughing through the entire day. Patrick knows just by looking at footage the perfect song/songs to choose for each couple individually. They are hands down, HANDS DOWN the BEST team to hire!! 100% book Emerald Film studios for your wedding day!! I can’t WAIT for my friends to get engaged so they can book Emerald!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE you guys!!! Xo Jenn & Matt Savino

    Absolute best Wedding Videographer!

    I can't begin to describe what an absolute pleasure it has been to work with Wayne and Emerald Films. From the very first moment we met with Wayne, it was like we were old friends, but now it's truly like we have a friend for life. Not only is he a true professional, and exceptional at what he does, he is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet! He and his staff make you feel super comfortable and at ease, especially when you have a camera following you around most of the day. They were with us starting early in the morning, from when we got ready, through Church, the park in between to take pictures and stayed until the end of the night - it was an absolute pleasure and I'm so happy that Wayne and his team were there to capture our day! We opted to get a SDE (same day edit) for our wedding day and it was one of the best decisions we made. Having a lot of out of town guests, and given that it was a Friday wedding, we knew that it was unlikely a lot of them would make it to Church. For this reason, a SDE video was a must-have for us, and we couldn't wait to see the final product! About halfway through the reception, my husband and I were seated in the middle of the dance floor facing the 2 TVs, as our guests watched around us, and the SDE was played. It was such a magical moment seeing it for the first time, with our guests too, and everyone was raving about it afterwards. We absolutely loved how it turned out and we can't wait to see our wedding video! Thank you Wayne and Emerald Studios for perfectly capturing our day and creating memories that will last us a lifetime!

    Emerald studios went above and beyond in every way to make our wedding day perfect. From our initial consultation, straight through to the process of making our albums and finalizing our video. Our bridal party and family were delighted that they didn't spend hours taking photos, and we were happy that all of the photography (family photos, etc.) were done an hour before our cocktail party began which gave us time to relax. The shots they captured were not only unique (they set up a sunset shot from our venues balcony as well as several others using their drones that are unlike anything we've ever seen) but their attention to detail was nothing short of spectacular. What i never thought of prior to the wedding but what i gave a lot of thought to afterward, was the fact that their photographers and videographers had such a pleasant demeanor. I've been in many bridal parties and typically throughout the day you're told "stand here, go there, sit down, stand up, look here, etc." and it seems like more of job. This crew, however, made everyone feel relaxed and have fun while taking photos and videos, which not only was great the day of the wedding, but also came through in the quality of their photos because our guests were enjoying themselves throughout the shoot. To Wayne and his staff, thank you for making my wife's dream wedding a reality.

    Words cannot express how I feel about Emerald Studios! Emerald did both my photography and videography and I would recommend them to anyone. Their professionalism is evident in their work and I am so happy to see how beautiful my pictures and video came! When you work with Emerald, you feel like you are part of the family because of how comfortable they make you feel. Thank you to Emerald for helping us capture the best day of our lives!

    It has been almost a year since our wedding and I still cannot be more thankful for having picked Emerald Studios (Photography), Emerald Film (Video), and Platinum Entertainment (DJ) to be by our side during this incredibly special journey. Everyone we have dealt with from day 1 has prioritized our happiness and has shown immense care toward making sure that every detail has been nothing but perfection. Wayne is the best. He has been so easy to work with and you can see through his work how committed he is to giving couples nothing but the highest quality. I am so happy he was with us on our day and even happier to get to relive these moments through what he has captured. Thank you!!!

    We hired Wayne to video our wedding day and it was the best decision we made. From day one when meeting him, he went over all of our needs and wants for the big day. Wayne answered all of my questions and made the planning process an easy one. On our big day, everything ran smoothly thanks to him and his crew. His outgoing personality made me and my bridal party feel at ease the whole day. My video is amazing and he captured all of those special moments that I will always treasure! Highly recommend!

    We were blessed enough to have Rich as our photographer and he was absolutely magnificent! Rich has a true photographers eye, which makes it so easy for you as the bride to not have to think about all the shots you want. He knows them all. He also directs you and helps you along so you look your best. In addition, Rich genuinely wants to get to know everyone, not just the bride and groom! He made an effort to know everyone's name and he remembered them all! You can tell he really loves his job and because of that, it makes him the best photographer ever. I would highly recommend Emerald Studios, and especially Rich for your wedding. Can't wait to see the photos!

    Emerald Studios Photography & Videography captured every wonderful moment of our wedding! Gary was friendly & professional with what package we were looking for. He was not pushy or pressing. He let us take our time & pick the right package for us. Wayne, the Videographer was great, friendly & professional. He went with his vision, and it was perfect! Rich, our photographer understood exactly what we wanted & stuck with the plan. He also had a few visions of his own when it came to certain shots, & he knew what he was doing! Wayne & Rich are true artists & I highly recommend them for any wedding or party!

    Pleasant to work with, Friendly courteous and extremely patient. No matter how many times we asked for certain pictures to be taken, the response was always "that sounds great and let's do it" After reviewing the proofs and being totally pleased I can honestly say that I'm so glad we chose Emerald. In fact the proofs are so good we are having a hard time choosing the amount for the album. From beginning to end they had always stayed in contact with us and returned all phone calls we made promptly, everything was handled in a professional manner. Will definitely use them again.

    We had Tony on our wedding day and we could not have asked for anyone more professional. He was prompt and easy to work with he made us all feel comfortable. We had the ceremony recap done and it was a great addition to have, to be able to sit back at your own wedding and watch you say your vows from a few short hours ago was definitely worth it. The quality of everything was excellent we are happy we made the right choice with Emerald.
