    The best wedding gift!

    Let me just start with saying that we absolutely LOVE the videos that Marc and Dan put together! They both did such an incredible job of capturing all of the special moments, details and emotions on our wedding day. I know we will always look back on these videos and feel the joy and love we felt throughout our special day.

    Marc and Dan were so great to work with. They made everything so easy every step of the way - from planning to filming on the day to sending our final files, they have always been so friendly and professional. We highly recommend working with First Look Films for your wedding videography, you will not be disappointed!

    Amazing experience

    We cannot get over the experience we had with First Look Buffalo. We had a destination wedding so there were a lot of variables we were working through- nerves, language barrier, travel. Marc and Dan, played an instrumental role in ensuring the ease of our trip and the big day. Their professionalism and expertise were evident in every aspect, from coordinating with vendors to directing shots effortlessly. Their presence not only put us at ease but also allowed for candid moments and genuine emotions to shine through.

    They went above and beyond to get shots that captured our love, the beautiful place we were in, and the people that were there to celebrate with us. The video they created for us wasn’t just highlights of the night. They truly told the story of our whole wedding, weaving together each little moment with seamless transitions and perfectly chosen music.

    Every time we watch the video it’s like stepping back into the magic of our wedding day. It captured the essence of our love, the beauty of our surroundings, and the joy of our celebration in a way that exceeded all expectations!

    First Look Films's reply:

    Thank you Mallory (and Mark). This day and experience will forever be special to us and we can't thank you enough for trusting us!

    Videographer for our wedding day/ceremony/reception

    I cannot rave enough about First Look Films! Marc and Dan are truly so talented and wonderful to work with. They made the entire process so easy and catered to anything we specifically wanted as well as put their own artistic touch into our video. This is by FAR one of the best expenses that we purchased for our wedding, having a videographer (especially a business like they have) is truly worth the investment. We now have more than just pictures to look at, but actual footage of the entire day. All of the beautiful moments, the ones I didn't get to see as a bride on my husband's point of view, and vice- versa. I would recommend them a thousand times over. They are prompt with their responses, professional, SO FUN to work with, and they are very experienced in what they do and helped me to not have to make decisions on my wedding day because they knew what to do. My Husband and I are so pleased with our wedding video, we recieved both a trailer and our full video in a very timely fashion and they are absolutely perfect. I cannot thank them enough!!

    First Look Films's reply:

    Thank you both for the kind words. Glad we could get Jake to smile a few times. Thanks again for trusting us with your big day!

    AMAZING to work with and wonderful finished product!

    Marc & Dan were AMAZING to work with. We had a few other friends use First Look Films and LOVED their work! Getting organized beforehand was easy! They were great the day of and were there for all the moments, without being 'in the way'! The finished product was more and better than we could have ever imagined!! We both cannot stop watching it (and sobbing!) - thank you guys so much from the bottom of our hearts

    First Look Films's reply:

    Thank you Paul and Amber!! We had a fun day with your crew which made our job easier. Glad you liked the film! It was a tear jerker for sure. All the best! - Marc and Dan

    I could not recommend Mark & his team more!!!! They were AMAZING to work with, extremely professional, kind, and SO incredibly talented. They captured every single detail of our day, and put it all together so perfectly. I can’t say enough good things about First Look Films. Everyone needs to book ASAP!

    Amazing quality, definitely hire them!

    Do not hesitate to hire Mark and Dan. They are so easy to work with, and made the day go by so smoothly. They got to the hotel early when I was getting ready and stayed well into the dancing portion of the wedding, I was truly impressed! Their quality of video is amazing and I could not wait to share it with my friends and family. You will not be disappointed with them!!

    First Look Films's reply:

    Thank you Tara! You two were a great couple to work for. We cannot wait to share the full film with you both!

    Do Yourself a Favor & Hire This Team

    Photography & Videographers are two MUST HAVE VENDORS for your wedding. No matter how you think you may be present during your special day, it is so rewarding to have images and videos capture things you may miss, or even things you'd like to relive. Since my wedding in May, I have had family members pass and to have a video is truly priceless. Marc and Dan are a truly dynamite team! They are so professional and friendly, easy going and made my husband and I so comfortable, even though there are camera around. They captured everything we hoped for and so much more. They were reliable and easy to reach. Helpful and open to questions and our ideas. They were invaluable and stayed for the whole reception. I cannot recommend them enough!!!

    First Look Films's reply:

    Thank you Tracy and Coogan! You two were just as great and easy to work with and we are delighted that you are happy with our service. Feel free to let us know if you need anything else!

    Top notch service!

    We had Marc and Dan as our videographers for our NYE wedding and boy did they deliver! They were extremely professional, quick to get back to me prior to the wedding, easy to work with day of, and listened to what I wanted! They know what they are doing and worth every single dollar we spent! If I had to do it all over again without hesitation they would be top priority! Thank you for making our day so special and capturing memories to last a lifetime!!

    First Look Films's reply:

    Jillian, that makes us so happy. We had so much fun with you and your family. Thank you for the review and allowing us the opportunity to capture your wedding!

    Better than I could have ever dreamed!

    Marc and Dan were so fun to work with for our wedding in October 2022. Our entire wedding party said how comfortable they were working with them which says a ton on it’s own. They were there with us from the time we started getting ready for the day until the night was wrapping up and they captured EVERY major aspect of the day. I truly could not have imagined anything better when they sent me our video. I was in tears watching it! 8 months later and it still gives me goosebumps and makes me cry! If you’ve been looking for a videographer for your big day and stumble across this review, look no further or you are for sure going to miss out. This is something you will have for years to come!! You do not want to choose the wrong guys for this type of memory when you’ll be showing your video to your kids and grandkids one day!

    First Look Films's reply:

    Kelsey, thank you so much for the kind words. We loved working with you, Jeff and the rest of the wedding party! We had a blast and glad we could film for you. Cheers! - Marc and Dan

    The best videographers!

    We had the best experience with first look films! Not only was the video so tailored to our personalities and even better than we envisioned, but the guys were genuinely enjoyable to hang out with.. and you spend a lot of time together on your wedding day! My number one wedding advice is always BOOK THE VIDEO! It’s the only way you get to relive the moment in its truest form again and again- and I promise first look films will capture it perfectly!

    First Look Films's reply:

    You and Kenny are the best. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity.... and pizza! Love you guys!

    Marc and Dan were professionals from start to finish and captured our day perfectly! Not only that but they are super fun to work with and communication was easy and organized. Would highly recommend them for anyone searching for a videographer!!!

    That means a lot to us. Couples like you and Sam always make our job easier. Thanks for the kind words! - Marc and Dan

    Hands down best in the business!!

    We booked First Look Films for our wedding in 2022 and boy they didn’t disappoint. They handled all the details, we just told them when and where our event was. The day of they showed on time and ready to go while we were getting ready. Then the ceremony, the photo stops and finally the ceremony. They stayed until 10pm. Talk about a full day.

    Our video turned out incredible. It captured the story of our day. It was perfect. We watch it often and honestly we’re super grateful for Marc, Dan and Team.

    First Look Films's reply:

    Thank you Jared! We had an excellent time filming you guys and hanging with your friends and family. Oh and the tortellini!!! Thanks for the review! - Marc and Dan

    High Quality, Amazing Coordination

    The video was incredible, they got along so well with our wedding photographer always working in cohesion throughout the day.

    Our consult was amazing, because they asked questions on many parts of the wedding day that I hadn't previously considered. Getting our imput on shots/scenarios that happen throughout the day, if there was anything special we wanted them to capture, as well as suggestions on where to do certain things according to the quality of shot based on the venue (first dance, first look, etc).

    Plus, they're very fun people to have around

    First Look Films's reply:

    Matt, the pleasure was ours. We love what we do and cannot thank you enough for the opportunity. All the best!

    So kind, professional, helpful and accommodating!

    Marc and Dan were so kind, helpful and professional! On our wedding day they helped make us feel comfortable with the cameras and felt like a part of our wedding party! We ended up not loving our photos so when time came to review footage, Marc and Dan saved the day and ended up helping us with still video shots that we loved. I have recommended them and will continue to do so! Our video was so beautiful, we watch it often!! Thanks Marc and Dan!

    The best!!!

    Marc and Dan are amazing! We were lucky enough to snag them to do our wedding video when they were first starting out (2019) and their attention to detail and work ethic has always been on point! We still obsess over our video 4+ years later. I was set on a certain song for the video and they made it happen which was so appreciated. We love knowing that we always have our wedding video to look back onto thanks to them!

    First Look Films's reply:

    Erin, we greatly appreciate the kind words. We loved working with you both and can't thank you enough for letting us capture your special day!
