    Beautiful memories captured forever!!

    A huge thank you to Shelby at First Dance Films for her videography on our daughter's wedding. Our package included a teaser, 12 minute clip, and later we added full length video of the wedding. All items were done beautifully and with care. The 12 minute clip was incredible!! our Indian 1 + hour wedding had so many moments that I was concerned may not be captured into the 12 minute, but Shelby did it!! Without a doubt, I will continue to count on First Dance Films for my other daughter's weddings:))

    An unforgettable elopement - thank you First Dance!

    We cannot say enough amazing things about Shelby and Josh! They were so chill to work with from the beginning and immediately understood our vision. When we postponed our wedding due to covid, we still had First Dance capture our elopement and it was absolutely breathtaking. We offered some small creative ideas of what we thought we wanted and they took it to the next level. They were so amazing to work with onsite and delivered amazing films that we will cherish forever. Thank you thank you for being part of such a special moment!

    First Dance Films's reply:

    Thank you, Cristina! You and Andres were such a blast to work with. We loved the creative energy you brought to all of the planning. And the intimate elopement you all put together was magical. So glad we were there to be a part of it.

    Thank you again!

    Exceeded all expectations

    We are so thankful we had the opportunity to work with Shelby and Josh. They were so friendly and accommodating throughout the process and on the wedding day. The wedding video they made was a dream come true - every time we watch it, we feel like we are reliving the day all over again. We couldn't imagine our wedding day without them and we couldn't recommend them more!

    Such an amazing experience!

    First Dance Films were the best! They worked with us and our photographer on everything! Our teaser video and final film captured our wedding so perfect and made us cry when we received it. Such a perfect way to remember our wedding day!

    Beyond what we could have imagined

    We were so lucky to have stumbled upon Shelby & Josh. They are truly such kind, good hearted people and I believe they put their all into our film. From the teaser to the final film, we were beyond words. They captured so many beautiful moments that when looking back.. we hadn’t even remembered! The quality of the film was literally that of a short movie. We have nothing but amazing things to say about our experience with these two and love them so much!!

    Sensational

    First Dance Films is so incredible! Their work speaks incredibly for itself and their passion for their work is evident in their videos and professionalism with you. First Dance Films captures what's most important to you in your wedding beautifully. From beginning to end, they were friendly, kind, supportive, flexible and worked so great with our photographer leading up to and the day of our wedding. When we received the final product we were in awe and in tears with the quality of their work. So much happens the day of the wedding that goes in a blur and getting to watch our video put me right back into the best parts of the most incredible day of our lives. I would highly recommend First Dance Films!

    These two are amazing!

    It’s hard to say anything about First Dance Films that hasn’t already been said in previous reviews, but I’ll try! Shelby and Josh are amazing videographers and all around awesome human beings. My husband was actually pretty indifferent to having a wedding video initially, and after seeing the teaser he felt completely different and SO happy we got one (and even more so after seeing our final film!) They were professional but fun, easy to work with, collaborated with other vendors, and put together a better video than I could have imagined. I spent an hour after receiving our final film watching it on repeat- it was THAT good! They captured so many touching and funny moments from our wedding that was so fun to watch back. I really couldn’t have asked for anything more! If you want to work with 2 rad people who will make such a great wedding video that you will watch so many times that you have to charge your phone multiple times a day, these guys are it! We can’t wait to watch our film every year on our anniversary, and probably a million other times if I’m being honest.

    Heart and Soul

    We had the amazing privilege of having Shelby and Josh capture our special day. Not only were they easy to work with up to and including the day of, but the final product was more than we could have asked for. It is evident that they put their heart and soul into their work and that they really cared about making the video special for us. For our wedding, they worked alongside Murphy E Photography and the combination of them was so special. They were the perfect pair! When looking for a videographer (and photographer) you want someone that wants to be there and cares about what they do. First Dance Films does just that and more. If we were to do it all over again, we would work with Shelby and Josh a million times over.

    The Perfect Option!

    Finding the perfect videographer for my wedding was one of the most important aspects of planning for me. Especially because I’ve filmed a few weddings myself, I know how much hard work goes into it. I searched through what seemed like every wedding video company in the Colorado area and beyond, comparing prices and quality. I narrowed them all down based on the quality of the resolution, lighting, color, audio, length, and style. I also needed two cameras and a day-after shoot up in a precarious mountain location. Shelby and Josh at First Dance Films were able to deliver all of these things at a really competitive price, and I was so happy with their professionalism, willingness, and coverage. I never had to worry about where they were or if they were getting the shots. They captured everything beautifully, were very enthusiastic about the theme of my wedding, and were very creative. They really went the extra mile for me, and I’m so happy that I can look back at the most magical day of my life over and over again!

    Can't say enough!

    I honestly cannot say enough about Shelby & Josh! We absolutely LOVED our wedding films. The highlight reel was just perfect, the music they choose was emotional but subtle, and they completely captured the vibe of our wedding and our community! I tear up every time I watch them. Our reception was under the stars and a little dark for filming, so S&J improvised, found external disco lights to use over everyone on the dance floor and made it look awesome. We got the full ceremony add on and it was one of the best decisions we made. Definitely worth the money to be able to relive that -- forever!

    Amazing Team

    Shelby and Josh are incredible talented and the two nicest people you’ll ever meet. I was hesitant about spending the money on a videographer, but I’m so glad I did and that I chose First Dance Films. We wrote our own vows, but I was so overwhelmed on our wedding day that by the next morning I couldn’t remember anything my sweet husband had said. Luckily Shelby and Josh captured it all so I’ll forever be able to relive the day. Shelby also went out of her way to make sure my gown was perfectly situated for all of my photos - a little touch showing how she always goes the extra mile. You won’t be disappointed hiring First Dance Films to capture your wedding day.

    Dream team!

    First Dance Films (Josh & Shelby) and photographer Murphy went above and beyond in capturing the memories of our special day! They are professional, kind and kept us feeling comfortable and at ease during all of it. They are so creative and had lots of ideas to make our video unique to us and our personal style. We could not be more in love with our video! We are forever grateful and would highly recommend them to be with you on your special day.

    I would highly recommend Shelby and Josh.

    Shelby and Josh were easy to work with. I (mother of the bride),in fact didn't see much of them. When I saw the video I was surprised on how much they captured. I have watched the video over and over again, just loved it!
