    BEST Videographer EVER!!!

    Ryan is fantastic! He is super friendly and easy to talk to. He truly cares what wedding plans you have for your special day.
    I have no regrets at all having Ryan as my videographer on my autumn wedding day of 2021. While I was watching the video he made, it reminded me all the best moments that happened and how joyful I was to marry my best friend! My whole family loved watching it as well! It was definitely worth the wait!
    Pictures are certainly nice to have, but watching a video really feels like you are there reliving all the moments again. The video was beautifully done! 😄 And I also loved which pictures he used for my DVD! He has great taste!

    We lucked out!

    Ryan was fantastic! Even though he had another engagement scheduled for the same day as our sons, he worked out a plan and pulled through with flying colors. I can't think of one area that he could improve on. He even provided a very special flash drive in a box to top things off.
    Everything about Vocal Point Digital Media was superb!!!

    Memorable and amazing

    Amazing... with all of the changes due to COVID-19, they were willing to travel to a new venue. Ryan captures incredible moments and we can not wait to see the finished product- thank you Ryan

    Ryan (focal point media) and team was a wedding highlight!! I was just going to have one of my friends video tape the wedding, then I came across a write up about focal point media in the newspaper. I called him immediately! After talking with him I went straight to my fiance and told I had to have him. even though he was not in our budget, he was worth every penny! He was so understanding, went out of his way to answer all my questions, give me advice, make suggestions all without ever making us feel like he was trying to sale me something. He felt like a friend and such a supporter. He listened to my outrageous ideas and didn't blink an eye. Everything was possible and was down to make our dream come true! He was so pleasant to work with and has a great sense of humor. We both felt so comfortable around him that having a camera on us felt natural because he was so delightful, easy going and funny. We had a ball with him and his team. He captures the moments you never want to forget and relive over and over. Hiring focal point and having a video of our wedding is the greatest wedding gift we could have asked for. If you want a video that is going to be 100% awesome and a VERY pleasant experience on the business end of things then do yourselves a favor and HIRE FOCAL POINT!! It's the only way to go! The reviews say it all!

    Ryan did a glorious job on my daughter’s wedding video.. he was just everywhere and caught the most amazing things. I saw his demo video when we were trying to decide who to hire and I remember thinking, yea but that is probably some special once in a life time kind of thing he caught with them. We went ahead and hired him and… what he created for us was completely beyond our expectations and so much more lovely than the demo. His other strong point is his editing… he makes the whole thing a complete joy to watch over and over. We recommend him greatly. One of the best things we did for the wedding. Denise Cook

    WOW! Ryan and his assistant, Gary, were AMAZING videographers! I’m sure most brides have heard from other married people how much the video of your wedding means to you after the fact, and I think that once you see his wedding videos you will completely understand! He is the best of the best in the Salem/Portland area, and we are so happy with our choice! On the wedding day, it was so fun to have them there. They were always so courteous, and most of the time you hardly noticed they were there unless they were making you laugh. They are so professional, talented, artistic, and have thee best equipment. Focal Point was one of my absolute favorite vendors, and I would absolutely recommend them 110%!!

    The moment for every bride will come when she gets to answer this question... "Do I have videographer or not?". I for one, have never debated this. I KNEW that having video of my wedding would be my most treasured item. And that has absolutely been the case. Photos are amazing and important too, but video captures the MOMENTS. It captures the feelings, it captures the incredible love and its true what they say about not remembering anything from the wedding. My wedding was a week ago, and I already don't remember much. If you do ANYTHING, please MAKE room in your budget for video. It should be the first thing that you budget for! (even above the dress!!!)

    Focal Point Digital Media was absolutely beyond my expectations. Ryan was perfection. They are so wonderful to work with and they think of all those little details so you don't have to. Half the time I forgot that he was even there filming. If you were to ask me on a scale of 1 to 10 how satisfied I am with Focal Point and my decision to have video done, it would be a 100. My theatric trailer was done 5 days after my wedding, and it made everyone cry. Even people who didn't know me. HAHA. That is how good these guys are. My trailer right now is my most treasured item, and I have probably watched it 1000 times already. They are the best of the best. It truly doesn't get any better.

    My advice to every bride will be "Do NOT have your wedding without Focal Point Digital Media. Other then marrying my husband it was the best decision I ever made."

    I absolutely cannot say enough good things about Ryan and Focal Point Media. Ryan was a great pleasure to work with, very laid back and funny and personable, but also very professional and obviously knows his stuff! We had a tight schedule between the ceremony and reception, but Ryan was perfectly calm and very organized, handled it perfectly. He was also great about suggesting various shots (and caught some amazing moments when I had no idea he was even there! hello disco moment with my dude of honor...), but also kept us very comfortable and relaxed (I was worried about feeling like a "deer in the headlights" with so many cameras around).

    Then of course we were absolutely blown away by our wedding video!! Classy and artistic and captured "us" so perfectly. I really don't know how Ryan does it, it's amazing. And it's just so awesome to be able to see "your day" again (and again and again!)...I am so so so glad we had Ryan as our videographer.

    I know that hiring a videographer may seem like an extravagance. I promise, when the day of your wedding comes and then is gone in the blink of an eye, you will be so glad that Ryan was there to capture all the moments for you to relive later! Video is a completely different feel than photographs, you NEED both! I remember being SO HAPPY on my wedding day that Ryan was there to capture the day for us, and that came back tenfold when we watched our video afterwards. It's amazing. HIRE THIS GUY!! You will be so so so glad you did.

    Ryan did an amazing job with our wedding video. Watching our video was like reliving the night again. He really captured our personalities throughout the video and those important unforgettable moments. The editing was smooth, romantic and fun. Working with him was also a pleasure. He was flexible and really listened to what we wanted from our video. I would definitely recommend using Focal Point to capture your special day. I am so thankful to have our wedding video!

    Ryan and his crew are absolute genius. First of all, when we first met ~ Ryan listened to everything I had to say, whether it was relevant or not! He was so patient. Then during the wedding, I barely noticed that they were there. You know how some photographers just have that "thing" where you don't even notice them? Well, there were 3 guys with video cameras, and they had that "thing." Unbelievable.

    I wanted a video of the wedding, because I thought it would be fun to have something to look back at, but I had no idea it was going to be so amazing. They captured everything. EVERYTHING. I don't know how else to say this, but they did a perfect job. They were the nicest guys in the world, and did an absolute perfect job with everything. It is worth every dime! Do yourself a favor and hire these guys! Oh hey, and ladies.. he made it so that I NEVER looked bad in any shot. Now that takes talent!

    Ryan with Focal Point Digital Media is simply the best!

    Ryan = the best. We married Sept 2010, and still re-watch our wedding video. Such high quality. I had to leave this review as we are still so thankful to him, and I'm guessing he's only gotten better with more time and experience... more options, quality, effects, music... He is worth every penny, and more!

    Ryan is the BEST!! I only recommended him all the way!!

    Ryan is ABSOLUTELY amazing!!! He is incredible to work with, fast response time, super flexible, and provides the most immaculate results!! He captured everything that we could have wanted the day of our wedding and so much more!! He is very professional, yet very personable! We met with Ryan months before the wedding to share what we wanted and what was most important to us and stayed in contact as the day got closer! The day of, he was always at the right spot at the right time to capture every single moment, planned and unplanned! He really did capture not just the wedding itself, but the love that was shared that day! Words truly can’t describe how much we love Ryan and couldn’t be any happier with how our videos turned out!!

    Incredibly gorgeous videography, fantastic service!

    Incredibly gorgeous videography, fantastic service!
    We are so delighted with our wedding videos from Ryan. Ryan was so easy and personable to work with. He walked us through all the necessary planning ahead of time and took care of everything the day of. He got fantastic, up close shots of things without us ever noticing he was there during the wedding. The quality of our wedding videos is amazing and he captured every important moment that we wanted to relive. He was attentive to detail and gave us tons of options for meaningful music for our highlight video. We are so grateful we made this investment! People who say "nobody watches their wedding video" clearly haven't worked with Ryan because we are going to watch this again and again! It was particularly meaningful to have a video during the pandemic because some close family members were not able to join us in person. They are delighted to be able to watch our ceremony and important parts of the reception. I recommend Ryan and Focal Point Digital Media 100%!

    Incredible quality streaming and wonderful to work with!

    Our wedding was postponed a couple times due to Covid and when we finally got to have it some people weren’t able to attend. We decided to live stream the ceremony and it was PERFECT! So many of our guests complimented the incredible quality. It made my grandparents who are in their 90s and far away able to feel like they were there.

    In addition to the live stream we got a video with multiple camera views of our ceremony. It is so well done, and an amazing keepsake for us!

    Bonus: Ryan is the easiest person ever to work with! 😊

    Such a great experience!

    Ryan was super attentive and worked with us throughout our wedding planning process. He was always available to talk and quick to respond to our emails if we had any questions. We were able to have several in-person and phone meetings to go over wedding details and specific shots we wanted. The day of our wedding was a little hectic but Ryan was always there rolling with the punches. The highlight film and other videos turned out amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better experience!

    Awesome videographer!

    I highly recommend Ryan. Focal Point Digital Media is amazing to working with and does amazing work! You will be so glad he is there capturing the moments that you will be able to look back on and re-live! They are also incredibly easy and fun to work with during the whole process. I am absolutely so thankful to have such an amazing video of my wedding day! If there is any advice I can give anyone for their wedding is to have a quality videographer such as Focal Point Digital Media.

    5-star service that has lasted 15 years!

    My experience with Focal Media began in year 2005. Ryan filmed and edited my wedding video. He was such a pleasure to work with! His ideas and suggestions made the video elegant and timeless. He captured all the important components and turned it into a beautiful story of my wedding day. As I was watching the DVD with my children almost 15 years later, I realized I need to insure this precious video does not disappear due to DVD deterioration or loss. After several unsuccessful attempts to digitize the video myself (either poor quality and other issues) I decided to look up Focal Media and see if the Company is still around. After all, it has been 15 years and many businesses don’t last that long, especially in the industry today... After quick search online, I learned not only Focal Media and Ryan (the owner) was still around, the Company has flourished and now has many awards! I called the number from the website and Ryan answered the phone right away! (another rarity today). He remembered me and my wedding and was eager to help me digitize my video. What really shocked me is he still had a copy of my DVD! This is 15 years later! Again, Ryan was quick and professional with his promised service. I now have a digitized copy of my precious video that is safe, and sound and uploaded on many different storages for generations to watch . I could not be happier client and be more pleased with a service… If you are considering Focal Media for your wedding – look no further! This Company is 5-star in every aspect .

    Ryan and his team are amazinggg!! This is a no-brainer!

    Highly recommend!! Ryan was phenomenal from the start. He responded right away and took the time to show us several different examples of videos. He asked questions along the way and got to know us to make sure the finished producted suited us. On our wedding day I didn’t have to worry about a thing, he knew where to be, when to be there, no funny business. And the finished product... absolutely STUNNING. We’ve watched our video like 109 times, and we fall in love with it more each time. It’s definitely one of the pricier items when wedding planning, but worth every single penny!

    Such a fantastic experience

    Ryan and his crew were an absolute pleasure to work with, from start to finish. We always enjoy our meetings with Ryan because he is so personable. He made us feel completely at ease on our big day, kept us laughing and provided us with the most amazing wedding video we could’ve ever hoped for! On top of the professionalism of he and his crew, Ryan also was super helpful when a transportation snafu left us short on room on our party bus. He offered to drive our parents to one of our pre-wedding picture sites out of the kidness of his heart and saved the day! 100% recommend Focal Point Digital Media!

    Ryan was fantastic and we were very happy with his professionalism and work on our wedding day. It only took one in person meeting to review the details and a few emails to coordinate and the rest was left up to him. He worked well with all of the other vendors and was a joy to be around even during the somewhat stressful times of the day. Focal Point provides quality video coverage that captures the beauty of the day in a realistic way- not at all cheesy or over the top or staged . I highly recommend Focal Point to any couple who is looking for a quality videographer who is open to ideas and gives good insight.

    Focal Point Digital Media is one of the best investments we made for our daughter's wedding! Ryan was absolutely amazing!!! He has a wonderful attention to detail, and sat down with us a few weeks prior to the wedding to really get a full picture of what the day would look like so he knew what to expect and could be the most prepared to capture everything that was important to us. We can't wait to see the full length video he does for us, but the preliminary theatrical trailer he produced (a 2 minute highlight) of the day captured everything we wanted to remember about the day: the love, friends & family, and emotion surrounding the beautiful bride and groom! Ryan and his assistant Levi were both pleasant and brought a sense of calm throughout the day as we knew they were capturing every beautiful moment as we lived the day to the fullest! We can't recommend him enough to anyone wishing to relive their special day over and over for years to come!

    I knew immediately that I wanted Ryan at Focal Point to be my wedding videographer-I wanted the best! And I was so excited that he had my wedding date available! Ryan was absolutely amazing to work with from Day 1 and all of the recommendations and comments from previous clients were all true. He worked with my photographer to create amazing shots for our first look and couples/wedding party photos as well as had super creative ideas. He paid attention to detail and made sure to get everything he needed to capture the day perfectly. He really got to know my fiance and what we wanted as well as our personalities. Everything was very natural throughout the day and he made us feel so comfortable and made sure everything flowed as well. Additionally, during the ceremony and reception I didn't even know he was there! He was in the background and none of his equipment was in the way-He wasn't even in any of our photos. I cannot rave enough about Ryan and his company! They are professional and provide top of the line services and quality products. I cannot wait to see our final wedding video! Thank you Ryan and Focal Point!

    Ryan filmed my late husband and I's wedding a few years ago. We honestly debated on whether or not to do it as our budget was tight, but I'm forever grateful that we did! Not only was it a stunning way to share our special day with friends and family who weren't able to attend our wedding, it was the most precious gift to cherish when my husband was unexpectedly called to heaven. God reedeemed my life and brought me the most wonderful man! As we were planning our wedding, having Ryan do the videography was top on my wish list! Even though we were getting married half a country away, I knew without hestitation, the investment and flying him out here would be 100% worth it! He's the best of the best, and I'd recommend him to anyone who wants to be able to share the most beautiful story of their wedding day for years to come!!
