Excellent results and great to work with!

Working with Fran was fantastic, and so was the video we received from him. His style is to be an unobtrusive presence at the wedding and capture the real emotions of the day. Our video was smartly edited to bring out everything from our entire day in just 15 minutes of video. And he also sent us a more complete, less edited version as well, so that we can look over any particular moment.

Fran was also easy to communicate with before, during, and after. He was upfront with the costs and what we'd get, and we felt good about the value of our package.

Do not hesitate and hire Fran!

From the moment I spoke with Fran on the phone, I knew he would do a wonderful job! My husband and I are not people who like being in front of the camera, but Fran made us feel comfortable and we barely even knew he was there most the time. He was very easy to work with and was not at all intrusive. When we received the sneak peak only two days after our wedding, I knew we picked the right person. We can’t wait to see the final product and would highly recommend Fran!

So excited to see the final product!

If you’re on the fence about getting a videographer for your wedding, meet with Fran Gagnon of Fran Gagnon Films. From the very beginning he was so accommodating and understanding of what we wanted out of our wedding film. We went to his office and watched a series of videos he’s done for other weddings and we were amazed at how beautiful the videos looked and how they truly told a story of that couples day (I’m not kidding, we laughed at how we felt like we knew the couple because of how awesome the film was!). Fran came at a recommendation of our photographer (J. Benson Photography) and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision! Fran’s colleague, Michele, was also an incredible addition to our day. Between the two of them, we are confident we have an incredible film! Also, within DAYS of our wedding, we had a beautiful sneak peek of our film to share with our family and friends!

Are you interested?

Fran did a fantastic job capturing ourwedding on video! He was very low-key and easygoing, and he was extremely unobtrusive, to the point that his presence was barely noticeable a lot of the time. Somehow, though, he and his associate managed to get SO much on video! The highlight video is edited so well, and the music he chose really goes well with the footage and the general mood of the content. The video also made it clear that he really appreciated the components of our wedding day that we put thought into and cared about. Plus, his package includes so much more than many videographers. Not only did he give us an edited trailer basically right after the wedding, but then a highlight film and tons of “bonus features,” which amount to edited footage of every important part of the day – the first look, the full ceremony, the cocktail hour (which was in a separate location), the first dance, speeches and performances (including lots of special performances we had), parent dances, and party time! This is so much for such a reasonable price. We will treasure all of this footage. He also makes it really easy to save, archive, view, and share the video. Thankfully, he doesn’t use DVDs as many still seem to. The content comes digitally through a streaming service, and it can be shared using that service, saved to your own account on that service, and downloaded directly. He also sends everything on a USB drive. He sent a separate link that contains only the highlight film so that we could share it without sharing the rest of the footage if we wanted to. Overall, he provided such a comprehensive videography service, really personalized and thoughtful video construction and editing, and the unobtrusive style of a documentarian. We are very happy with our choice!

Fran and team are truly phenomenal. From helping us ensure we were on track with the wedding planning to getting everything prepped/setup on the day of, Fran had everything and left nothing for us to worry about! Watching our highlight film brought me back to the day of the wedding and all the fun everyone was having. The quality of the video and sound were perfect. I truly couldn’t have asked for any better than Fran and team. I cannot wait to share the video with friends and family!! Highly recommended and truly the best!

Initially my husband and I were unsure whether or not we wanted a videographer and eventually decided to do it. We were not disappointed. Fran Gagnon captured our wedding day beautifully! We were actually surprised how much of the day he was able to capture, mostly because when it came time for the ceremony and reception, we were thrilled by how unobtrusive it was. He managed to let us and our guest enjoy our day, while capturing the heartfelt moments of the evening. The final product perfectly captured our wedding day, and we have enjoyed watching the highlights with our family and friends.

There are not enough words to say how great Fran is and how amazingly talented he is! Fran filmed and created the most beautiful wedding video for my husband and I. He captured every moment perfectly, and his "Coming Soon" trailer was awesome! He had it out the weekend of our wedding and was a great sneak preview of our feature film. Fran and his assistant Michelle were also wonderful to work with. Very professional, personable, and just fun to be around. Our guests loved them as well! And Michelle was always looking out and letting me know if a hair was out of place or my lipstick was smudged which was very much appreciated! I highly recommend Fran to any couple looking for a video to commemorate their special day. I know my husband and I will be watching ours over and over for years to come!

Fran was very professional from the very beginning, I had tears in my eyes just watching the videos of other couples I had never met! Our family and friends had nothing but wonderful things to say about him and his team the day of, and he made me feel like a beautiful bride all day! Now the video- we can't stop watching it! It puts our Day into a beautiful story, I couldn't have imagined better, not to mention he gave us allllll of the video from the whole day so we can rewatch the ceremony, speeches, and all the dances! We would recommend him to everyone!

Fran is wonderful! From our first meeting I knew he was our videography. He is very professional and extremely talented at what he does! He has a true passion for it. He sent us a teaser video a week after our wedding and it brought tears to our eyes with how beautiful it was. He captured the love and emotion in the video for us on our special day. We couldn't be happier!

When we went through the planning process the advice I received time and time again was to get a videographer. Many of the couples I had talked to said they didn't and it was their biggest regret.

The day after our wedding, Fran sent us our trailer, and the fact that we got to relive our day only hours later was absolutely priceless. Now that we have received everything in our package from Feature Film, Raw Footage etc, I just can't believe the amount of details and scenes we would have missed if we didn't have Fran and Michelle there. Anyone who wants the comfort of knowing that their wedding day is being documented in quality hands, should go nowhere else but Fran Gagnon. From our initial consultation, to the day of where his system synced directly with our DJ's system for perfect sound, working with Fran was seamless and easy. I can't recommend him enough!

Fran Gagnon Films did a tremendous job capturing the big day. Selecting videographers can be a bit of a pain watching so many samples of people you don’t know, but Fran made the process easy and gave us a package that included everything we hoped for. I met with Fran in his home office when we made the selection and throughout the entire process Fran was very flexible and easy to work with. During the day Fran and his assistant were involved and made sure to capture all of our big moments, but were never invasive and made sure they were well coordinated with our photographer. Fran has a ton of experience in videography and it shows by his work and the way he operates. We definitely recommend Fran to anyone as you will not be disappointed.

After speaking with all of my friends and asking if they could do anything different what would they do..without hesitation each one said, get a videographer. I found Fran through a recommendation from our DJ and reception venue. He was very responsive and willing to work with us and our ideas. He is the upmost professional and tremendous at his craft. He mixed in perfectly and most people didn't even know we had a videographer there. Trust us when we say spend the money and get the video, it lasts forever and your family and children will be able to cherish the memories for years to come.

My husband and I absolutely recommend Fran! He was very easy to work with and very mindful of what we wanted to see in our video! Our video brought me to tears! It was so exciting to relieve our wedding day and also see it in another perspective. Everything from the day was captured and I'm so glad we will have this forever. One very special thing about the way Fran does his videos is that you will have a featured film (about 20 minutes), which summarizes the day, AND you can get chapters of the ceremony, the speeches, intros, and dances, all things you will want to remember! The best part is that Fran is very talented and everything is artistically done, and you will want to watch all of your videos a million more times! We highly recommend Fran Gagnon Films!

I HIGHLY suggest that you work with Fran. My husband and I were blown away by our video and we will cherish it for the rest of our lives. He was professional and courteous throughout the entire process. He came in and got the perfect shots without being disruptive. Fran made sure to highlight everything from the small/intimate details to the speeches . By having the video, we were able to see so many things we missed. We honestly could not have asked for more! Thank you, Fran!

When you’re a bride the most common advise you receive is “on your wedding day take it all in because it goes by fast” and boy are they right. My wedding day was beautiful and memorable at least everything I was able to see and remember. One of the best parts is hearing from the guest after the wedding talking about their favorite part which were things they I may have not seen or noticed, until I received my wedding video.

Fran Gagnon is amazing. My husband and I met with him and we were so impressed with modern equipment and technology. Our first meeting with him he took the time to discuss what his videos would entail and what options we had and even showed us several sample videos, but he made it personal but showing footage from the same venue and church we were having our wedding. Fran and his staff the day of our wedding were both professional and friendly to the entire wedding party and guest. I didn’t even know they were there which is a huge compliment. I have attended many wedding where the videographer and photographer were always right in front of the bride and groom and would obstruct the guest view, not Fran Gagnon he was never in the way and captured every moment. My reception went until 11pm, early afternoon the following day Fran had already sent us a trailer of our wedding video so that we may share with our family and friends.

The final video was better than I could have ever imagined he captured moments of the guest at the ceremony before I received, the cocktail hour at the reception and the small touches like the way my husband and I were looking at each other throughout the wedding etc.

I highly recommend Fran Gagnon, I promise you will not be disappointed.

My husband and I couldn't be more happy with Fran Gagnon Films and our wedding video!
I was never unsure of whether or not to hire a videographer for our wedding, I was just unsure of who to hire. I wanted to find someone who was A., affordable and B., produced both quality cinematic and documentary style wedding films. Fran checked off all of these "must haves" on my list. The first time I met with him in his home office and watched a few of his films, I was in tears. I had no relationship to the couples and families in his videos and yet I was crying! The emotion he captured was unbelievable, and convinced me that he was the videographer I should hire (and this was after researching and meeting with several other videographers and companies as well).
Fran was extremely knowledgable, straightforward, attentive, and responsive from the time we first met until even after he sent us our wedding video. He was timely in responding to emails and phone calls, and professional yet personable in our meetings. He showed up early on our wedding day and stayed later than expected to film the final moments of our wedding, that went almost a half hour past our expected end time. He captured all parts of our wedding day from the wedding party getting ready to all of our meticulously selected details, and everything in between. He created a 20 minute cinematic film which was set to music he specifically selected that fit perfectly with the moments he captured. We were also given more documentary style footage of each part of our day, including our entire ceremony, parent dances, maid of honor/best man speeches, etc., so we didn't miss a thing.
I've watched our wedding film about a dozen times now, and each time I feel like I'm right there, reliving my day. I cry, I laugh, I feel all of the emotions I felt that day all over again. Our wedding video from Fran is such a priceless keepsake that I'm so grateful we'll have forever.

Fran was great to work with. He is very experienced and has excellent equipment. He worked with us to find a package that captured the elements of the wedding day we wanted, while staying within a very reasonable price. He was extremely prompt in producing the final video, and I highly recommend his services!

When it came to booking our videographer there was no question that we were going to book Fran Gagnon Films. I have had friends and family who had used him and they all highly recommended him. He and his assistant Michelle were so discrete I forgot that they were there! Fran was very professional and just an all around nice person. We absolutely LOVE our wedding video! Fran really has a talent for putting together a great film that we will enjoy forever. You will not be disappointed in working with Fran, he is amazing!

Fran was tremendous to work with.... You did not even notice his crew or equipment. I loved the way he integrated the whole day into one beautiful masterpiece! Then he also gave us the full ceremony, the full Introductions, the full first dance, the full speeches and the full dance party in all separate files..... I watched it (and showed others!) many times! So beautiful....it captured many moments that I would have otherwise forgotten...... Best spent $$$$$

Fabulous!!!

Fran and Michelle were so wonderful to work with. They were professional, friendly, and helpful during our wedding day and Fran was so helpful during the entire wedding process.
We really liked the videos we saw from him and knew we wanted him to capture our wedding day on film. About two days after our wedding he had already posted a short clip of the day and it came out unbelievably beautiful. We couldn't help but watch it over and over.
His work really is high-quality and comes at a reasonable price.
One of the things I did not want to sacrifice was a video of our wedding day. I know that there are so many things we missed and my husband and I are so excited to see the finished product.
If you're looking for a videographer who does A+ work, look no further than Fran Gagnon Films. We are so glad we chose them to do our wedding videography. They are the best!

Fran was great to work with. He is very approachable and friendly, and was easy to plan with. On the day of the wedding, he was very discrete but still managed to get some amazing shots. Our video came out awesome and he truly captured the excitement and spirit of the day. I almost didn't get a videographer, but so glad I did and so glad I chose Fran and his team to document our day. The music he chose for our films was better than what I could have picked myself! Choose Fran Gagnon Films and you won't be disappointed!!

Hands down the best wedding video ever! Very professional staff, exquisite editing and putting our video to music made a lot of people cry when they watched it! I would very highly recommend them to anyone looking for a VERY good quality videographer at a very reasonable price. Most vendors start around $3000 or more, and I simply could not afford that. Finding Fran Gagnon was such a lucky find, and i honestly was blown away with the final product.

Fran and his team were fantastic!! He was so thorough and made sure to go over every detail with us before hand so there were no worries on the wedding day. He was unobtrusive and half the night I had no idea he was there! He made the process so much fun. He even sang to me while I was getting ready to calm my nerves! We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you fran!!

We were on the fence about whether or not to get a videographer for our wedding. After talking with Fran, we decided to go for it. I can now say that it was the best decision we made! Fran did a wonderful job. Fran was professional and timely. He managed to capture everything and we hardly noticed he was there. Not only do we have a 20 minute feature film that fully captures the day, we also have full footage of all the speeches, the ceremony, and dances. It is a great way to relive our day. He even posted a 2 minute trailer the day after the wedding that we absolutely loved! The footage of my husbands face and tears as I walked down the aisle was priceless and something that we could not have gotten from photographs. I would definitely recommend Fran to be your even videographer, you will not regret your decision!!

My friend used Fran for her wedding last year and LOVED him. When it came time for my own wedding, Fran himself was booked for the day. Fran said there were other videographers from his company who could do the filming and he would edit the footage. I was a bit worried at first because I hadn't really seen any of their work, but I went with them and I am SO glad I did! The videographers who came were professional and did a fantastic job getting memorable footage. Fran did all of the editing and he is very talented - everything flowed so well! Two days after the wedding, he surprised us with a 2 minute trailer. The turnaround was amazing and it was so nice to show people while the wedding was still on everyone's minds. The 18 minute feature film was so well done. Everyone who saw it was crying and speechless! It will be something we will treasure forever. I am also very happy to have the documentary. Watching everything from start to finish was so nice, especially the things we didn't get to see on the actual wedding day (processional, cocktail hour, etc.).

It is so worth the money to get a videographer. My sisters surprised us with a song during the reception, and I am so happy to have that on film from start to finish. My husband and I were also both cracking up at the things we said during the ceremony, since the groom wears a microphone! Also, many of the emotions that were captured on video simply can't be captured by a photograph. Overall we are very happy we went with Fran Gagnon Films. He was always very quick to reply to phone calls, flexible to arrange last minute meetings at his studio while we were in the area, and he takes great pride in his work.

Fran is just the best! He is very professional, works wonderfully with the other vendors, responds to inquiries quickly and best of all he is invisible! No one even knew he was there, yet he captured the entire night on video! I highly recommend giving Fran a call and hiring him for any event you want captured on video. He truly is a great vendor and a great guy!

I wanted to give my son and daughter-in-law a gift for their wedding, so I chose a videography. Not being from Connecticut, I reviewed a lot of wedding videos on line and finally chose to go with Fran Gagnon. He was prompt, professional, and "invisible" at our wedding….yet he was everywhere, videoing everything.
The quality of the work that I have seen so far from him is simply beautiful. If you want to preserve a special occasion for years to come, please DO NOT HESITATE, to contact Fran and his staff……you will not be disappointed !!!!

Fran was AMAZING! We got our trailer the very next day and our full video footage only 2 weeks later. His skills are outstanding and we couldn't be more pleased with our results. So grateful we used him to capture our special day!

Finding Fran Gagnon was the best thing we did in our wedding planning. We initially did not think we would book a videographer, but we are definitely glad we did!! Fran's work speaks for itself. When we started looking at Fran's feature films he features on his website, we were absolutely blown away. The feature films are like watching a movie. I actually got emotional just watching other couples' videos. I knew this was the videographer we should book with. When we met we Fran he was very easy to talk to and very knowledgeable about videography. Once we received access to our feature film we were amazed with not only how wonderful the quality was, but how Fran seemed to capture exactly who we are. He has an artistic eye for capturing all of the perfect details. We would highly recommend this vendor. He is the best of the best!!

We couldn't be more happy with booking Fran gagnon to be our videographer!! From the initial meeting to arranging the timeline for the day, everything went off completely smooth. We initially weren't sure if we would book a videographer but looking now at our feature film and documentary film, we should have booked this vendor first!! We absolutely love our video, they did a great job in catching all of the big and little details do the day!!!

Fran and his team did such an AMAZING job for our wedding. I am blown away by the quality of the video. I seriously cannot stop watching it! Being able to watch all of those special moments over and over again means so much to me. Plus, I get to see things in the video that I wasn't able to witness on the actual day, like my husband getting ready, the bridal processional, cocktail hour, etc.

I have shared our "feature film" with friends, family, and co-workers and the response has been incredible. It makes them feel like they were at the wedding even when they weren't. The video just captures the feeling of the day in a way that pictures can't.

The video is even more special to my husband and I because it has beautiful footage of his aunt who passed away shortly after the wedding. This will be a treasured keepsake for years to come. I know I will be showing this to my future children someday!

Using Fran and his team was one of the best decisions we made. Fran is kind and professional and he works with some really great people. You seriously don't even notice the cameras throughout the day- but they're there capturing all the action! I am so happy with our video and can't say enough good things about it! Thank you Fran!

Fran (and Kevin) were amazing to work with from the beginning. Fran stuck to any appointments he made with us and was always responsive to our questions or concerns. The value is unbeatable and while we have not received our video from our wedding yet, we know it will be gorgeous and exactly what we asked for. Working with Fran is worth every penny and if you don't have a videographer in your budget, MAKE ROOM FOR IT! Im so glad we found the budget to get footage from our wedding...knowing we have a "feature film" coming our way makes both of us excited to relive the day! Things get so hectic when you are the spotlight at a wedding that I couldn't imagine not having footage of what went on! Thank you again!

Fran Gagnon Films came recommended from another friend's wedding and we also loved working with him. He was professional, friendly and very talented. The day of the wedding we hardly noticed him and yet he captured all the precious memories and even some that we missed. The video itself is fantastic and we watch it every year (sometimes more than once). We like the highlights but also it was fun to watch the full dance portion at the end! We recommend Fran Gagnon to all prospective couples

We interviewed and watched a lot of wedding videos. Fran's was one of the first we saw and from the start we loved his work. The day of the wedding he and a coworker were ready before the bridal party. He did great at the wedding and now that we have our video...we could not be any more pleased! He is so talented its unbelievable. He captured everyone and everything. The music he picks is fabulous..really the whole thing came out perfect. Our day was perfect, but out of everything we spent money on this was 100% the best purchase with the best videographer! Love him!

We couldn't be happier with the services that Fran provided on our daughter's wedding day. He captured all those special moments that we will be able to cherish for a lifetime.

Fran did a fantastic job for our wedding. From the moment the crew arrived until when they left they were professional and wonderful. They captured everything while somehow never getting in the way. Most of the night I barely noticed they were there! Our feature film is incredible. I really could not have asked for a better product. It was worth every dollar.

Fran did a beautiful job on our video! He gave us a very nice 2 minute overview "Sneak Preview". It was edited to music and had all the highlights of the night. We got the DVD's yesterday and it was great! Very well done and so professional. During the actual wedding he was not even noticeable or in anyone's way.

Great job!!

We are so happy we decided to get a videographer, and Fran was absolutely wonderful! I had everything planned for my wedding the place the flowers the photographer..... Then around the month before I was talking to many of my clients about the wedding and I started to notice that everyone either said the videographer was the best decision they made, or if they didn't hire one they said it was their biggest regret. I went home and started researching and found fran. My husband and I went to his studio to meet him, he showed us a 20 minute feature film that he did of another couples wedding and the tears were just streaming down my face ( I didnt even know these people) it was the way he put it together it was just magical. He handed me a box of tissues and I hired him on the spot. I told him my grandparents are really important to me and I wanted to make sure he had them in the shots. Come the day of our wedding it was wonderful to have him around he was always where he needed to be, yet just let us have fun and do our own thing. At one point he came and tapped me on the shoulder, he told me my 87 year old nana was on the dance floor ( he didn't want me to miss that wonderful moment) I ran over and danced with her, he got me sobbing when dancing with my dad and my 93 year old Grandpa slow dancing with me.
The most amazing part was when he sent the DVDs to us my husband and I sat on the couch together and we truly got to live the day over again, the same feelings ran through us. We laughed and cried in a way that a picture can't make you do. I now have the memory of my grandparents smiling and dancing to look back on forever. And the smile on my husbands face as we said our vows, squeezing each others hands shaking with excitement. We had the greatest day of our lives and now it will truly never be forgotten.

If anyone needs a videographer I would totally recommend Fran. He is reliable, trustworthy and a nice guy. But most of all his work is FANTASTIC!! My wedding video is amazing! My husband and I are so happy with it! Our family and friends love it! It is something we will have forever and I will cherish! So happy I used Fran, I would recommend him to EVERYONE!

I don't believe I can say enough good things about Fran. Our video came out amazing; the quality, the songs, the shots, the moments etc. Everything was captured better than I could have imagined. My husband was reluctant to get a videographer at first, but he was very thankful that we did after seeing his work. I have seen other videographer's work, and many vidoeos appear corney and boring. Fran does amazing work, it's really like watching a short well done love story. My sister-in law and brother used Fran, as well as many of her friends. I have seen their videos as well. You know someone is good, when you enjoy other people's wedding videos! Both our families loved the video as well. One day if we have kids, I'm sure they will love it too. If you are thinking of getting a videographer, you should definitley use Fran. Thanks again Fran!!!

We did not have Fran Gagnon, we had one of his assistance who was great. He got all the important moments and we can not wait to see our film. He was very professional and most of the time we didn't even know he was there. We figured if he was good enough to do the governors inaugural ball, he was good enough for our wedding.

Fran was a fantastic videographer. He managed to be there for all the important moments, including the unplanned ones, and was very unobtrusive. His work is of the highest quality -- it's really art. I'm so very glad that we made the decision to have a videographer and that we chose Fran! I would give him a score of 6 if I could!

Fran did such a great job! Our wedding video is great, we are so glad we got the video because we hate our pictures. My only wish is that he would have reminded me that I hadnt sent him background music selections for the video, he ended up just picking a song for me because I never sent him an email. I can't fault him for that at all but a more proactive approach would have really put him on a pedastal. He is very talented at what he does and you can tell he enjoys his work.

Fran has been great to work with. We were so impressed with him after our initial contact. He spent a lot of time with us, showing us all of his work. On the day-of our wedding, he made sure that he was early and was there for our First Look. Just two weeks after, Fran sent me a one minute highlight video and it looks awesome!! I can't wait to see the DVD. I would highly recommend Fran!

Fran was great! When I first started looking at videography, I was worried that it would look over the to and cheesy. But Fran was amazing, he captured the day the way it happened. Nothing was staged and he let everything happen naturally. I am really happy that I used him and will have a video of the day!

Excellent is all I can say. We were unsure about having a video but decided to meet with some vendors anyway. Fran was the first - and only - videographer we met with. As soon as we talked to him, we knew we wanted him to cover our day. In the end, I think it was the best investment we made - the video is phenomenal.

Not only did my wedding video come out awesome, but I really didn't notice that James (the camera man) was even at my wedding. James was unobstrusive, but he got fabulous footage. I got the DVDs quickly. The video was edited into short, easy-viewing segements. The cost was very reasonable and we got to customize the final product. If you need a videographer, I would 100% say go with Fran!

Fran is an amazing videographer. What we really liked about his skills is that he was always where we were but we never seemed to notice him. He is also very easy to contact and schedule things with. We booked him on a recommendation from a friend, and we strongly recommend him!

We were initially unsure about having a videographer for our wedding. Once we saw Fran's work online, we were thoroughly impressed. He was a true professional from start to finish. We could not possibly be happier with our finished wedding video! It is so artistically completed with a movie-quality trailer and editing that was beyond our expectations! Our friends and family cannot stop talking about how much they love the video, and for other people to want to see your wedding video...that is VERY impressive! I would highly recommend Fran Gagnon Videography to capture the moments of anyone's wedding!

Great videography style. Fran was willing to work within our budget and our need for not too many hours of footage. I was very impressed by his videos compared to the tons of others we have seen. They're very elegant and contemporary.

Fran was great to work with. We decided on the videographer late in the game and in retrospect it should have been one of the first things we decided. We watched some examples of Fran's feature films online and were really impressed. Fran was easy to get a hold of, flexible and made everything very easy.

Wedding night we found Fran and his second shooter pretty unobtrusive overall. When we received the videos we were soooo happy! We have watches the feature film many many times and Fran really captured the essence of the night in a creative and cool way. It's also great to have the full edited footage. Would definitely recommend Fran!

Fran was amazing! I couldn't believe his professionalism and dedication to his job. He was able to work with us and stayed at our wedding for a very long time. It was a long day and he was there the entire time getting some amazing shots. I'm so happy that we got a videographer. Fran's work convinced my husband that its a must have for our wedding. It will be something that we will charish for the rest of our lives.

We decided at the last minute to add a videographer to our wedding and at this point the budget was strapped pretty tight.

I went to our venue's list of recommended vendors and started from there. I also did some extensive online research.

Fran comes highly recommended and he was a pleasure to work with.

He was very quick to respond to my email inquiries and friendly throughout the process. He was very flexible in working with my budget and even gave me an extra hour of coverage for free!

We sat him at a table with our guests (not a separate vendors table) and he made a point to come up and thank me, saying that he'd never been to a wedding where he was treated like a guest and not just a vendor. I thought that was very courteous of him.

There were some hiccups along the way, but nothing that really bothered me. We scheduled a phone appointment that he forgot about, but when I called him he apologized and stopped what he was doing so we could still have our call.

When we received the final video, there appeared to be a scene that was cut short (or accidentally left in), but the rest of the video was very nice and captured some beautiful memories. We've gone back and watched the video several times since.

Overall, Fran was a pleasure to work with and incredibly friendly and talented.

Our wedding DVD was done within 3 weeks of our wedding, it was great to get it back so soon. The DVD came out beautifully and it had everything I wanted included in it (he kept the whole ceremony in there which was a big "surprise" for our guests and all of the speeches in entirety). the night goes by so fast so it was really nice to see what I missed and what i wanted to remember the most. Fran is a really nice guy and very professional.
