    Henry did a phenomenal job! His team put together beautifully executed videos capturing our weekend of wedding festivities. He paid special attention to our requests to capture certain moments we had requested to highlight our unique cultures and ceremonial traditions.

    I never worked with this vendor but 5/5

    I gave this vendor 5 stars because I did not work with or ever met this person. I'm only leaving this review to test my theory and prove my point that anyone can leave good or bad reviews. Which is why online reviews is not enough to rely on for validity.

    Rely on the work and word of mouth. You can also trust well known wedding planners. If one person you know trusts this vendor and if you are sure it's his work, then just book this guy. To me he seems legit. Also love his work. I checked his other social media platforms and no red flags. Hire this guy if you like his work! That's all that matters.

    Amazing Work

    Henry was such a pleasant vendor to work with. Very communicative and understanding throughout the process. He showed up on time, had the greatest personality, was professional, and delivered even before the date specified on the contract. Through the seen and unforeseen occurrences on our big day, he made sure capture everything beautifully. Henry really knows his craft and we are grateful.

    Henry and his team did an amazing job with the videography for our wedding. He was very upfront with us with pricing and availability and showed up on the day with a 3 person team! He was very attentive to the details and after several varying directions of "look to your left", "head down", "smile" "no, too much teeth", "there, perfect", produced the most amazing video with all the special moments from our big day! If I could do it all again, I'd still use him as my videographer.

    Oh my! Henry Adewale Films is Fantastic. He really went above and beyond for us. I was having a really tough time enjoying my wedding focusing on all the details of the wedding, but when the highlight video came out, I had a new found appreciation about how beautiful our wedding really was. I am happy we trusted him with our special day. Henry does a consultation with you prior to the wedding and we went over things that we wanted to capture and what our vision was, and he ticked all the boxes. I Highly... Highly recommend him, he has a unique eye for detail and brings out the beauty in the the little and the big stuff.

    Of all the decisions to make for wedding planning, this was by far the best and easiest decision we had to make. Working with Henry was a pleasure, from booking, to logistics, and planning he was truly on top of everything and follow up was fantastic. The joy that we get from watching our highlights video makes us constantly want to transport ourselves back to that time. The cinematography still blows us away.

    I've had the pleasure of having Henry Adewale Films for videography for my wedding. Henry was a pleasure to work with. He made us feel comfortable with his open line of communication. We fell in love with his work as seen on his website and YouTube which was why my wife and I chose him. He captured all of our special moments perfectly in our wedding film and we would choose him again if we had to do it all over again.

    Commendable

    Working with this vendor was extremely easy and took a big load off of our long list of things to do for the wedding . In our culture we have two weddings and this vendor did both and executed each time ! They keep your ideas and vision in mind and cater to what you envision your video to like !

    Henry Adewale Films did an amazing job with the coverage of our perfect day! As part of our package, we received a 5 minute highlight video as well as a 45 minute video documenting other special moments. My husband and I couldn't be happier with the quality of the videos! Watching it, you'd think it's a movie production. Henry was always willing to answer any questions we had and provided us with details of what to expect the day of. He was also very professional and I could tell he is passionate about his work. We are reminded of all the wonderful moments experience every time we watch it and always recommend him to friends planning their wedding.

    Henry did an AMAZING job on my wedding videos. He provided my husband and I with: highlights video, speeches video, and a 55 minute video of the night. Although it did take 4 months to receive them, I have to say, the videos were well worth the wait. The quality and emotions that the videos brought out in everyone who watched them are like no other. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Henry to anyone getting married.

    Henry was absolutely great to work with- so courteous and responsive... things you need to calm a stressed bride. He was flexible and able to adapt as things came up during our wedding and he put our minds at ease with great communication/follow up as we waited for our finished product. Our video was a wonderful documentation of our wedding and we are so pleased. I don't believe that anything or anyone is perfect, what matters is responsiveness, flexibility and making sure your client is happy and I appreciate this vendor for that. Would definitely recommend.

    Mediocrity, was not blown away by his services

    Hi does not go above and beyond. He does just the basics. Used him for my wedding and I was not happy. Would not recommend him for someone else’s wedding.

    Very disappointing

    Let me start out by saying I really hate leaving negative reviews and like to give any vendors the chance to work with me to correct any issues I do have. I also have a small business and hope that people would extend to me the same courtesy. I also make it a point NOT to ask for refunds as I feel if the issue can be corrected, then more work is usually being done!
    Issue 1. From the start it didn't feel that Henry conducted a professional business. Though he has a nice website, and good response initially, once we signed the contract, even sending payment was an issue. We had to send payment to an individual, not the company. Several methods of payment were not working (zelle, etc) so we ended up sending a check. The only reason we did is that we were referred to him by another vendor and at this point didn't want to take the time to start the process over looking for a new vendor.
    Issue 2: There was no communication about our goals for the video, what we wanted to include. From all other vendors, the communication was vendor driven. Our photographer asked us for information about our wedding party and what we wanted the focus on, all the details about the venue/other vendors/etc.. Our DJ company had us fill out a very lengthy questionnaire and followed up with a call. Our venue had us fill out forms so they knew what to expect for timing and all. Our pastor had a sit down with us to understand what we wanted in the ceremony. Sadly - all of these vendors were paid the same or less, but had more enthusiasm for providing service. Now I can accept some blame, as I go with the philosophy that if someone needs information from me, they ask for it. They didn't ask, and I wasn't calling everyday to micromanage their process. Maybe I should have.
    Issue 3 They have in their contract that any requests for footage need to be put in 2 weeks after the wedding. Now I don't know about any of you - but I don't recall what's in my contract that I signed months ago, and I will certainly not remember when I'm just trying to recover and relax from the wedding without a reminder. Other vendors sent out a reminder if they needed something by a deadline. Some reminded me before they left or the day after the wedding. From Henry, nothing. He also has a so called wedding consultant. (Other than making bookings apparently what is this person's role??) Now - in the final so called feature/documentary films (i had two events) - they included an edited montage of a part of the venue that was not being used. They have footage of the camera wandering into a closet. They did not include moments that we specifically had set aside for pictures. Then they tell me if we want something different we should have specified it beforehand, and it's going to be an additional charge. I would assume that some footage from designated picture times would be included instead of footage I was not aware of. Even for fixing the so called issues (wandering camera footage, bad transitions, etc) - they said I had to mark the timing of each issue down and submit to them to fix. This to me was the most upsetting of all. Refusing to fix issues that is their responsibility to find and address. For the "feature" film - the first few minutes were edited, then it cut into clearly unedited footage. To me that is not a feature film. If I had to mark down what needs to be deleted, I might as well edit my own film and I would have asked my friends to take cell phone videos and mashed them up. Not only that, but the shooter has some unpreferable angles and such that could have been much better (we did not have any restrictions on where the shooter could be) or that a bit of editing (zooming in, etc.) could mitigate.
    I tried to bring about my issues professionally, but even in their first response it became clear that they were trying to get us to pay more for providing a proper video, and reverting to their contract and "artistic discretion" for the lack of editing we received. Really sad to see. What a waste on money. I'd rather have no video than pay more to a complete scammer. Really sad that such a business can gain so many followers - maybe he only pays attention to the customers he deems more important. I don't know.
    It did take exactly 12 weeks for us to get the final films, even the short clip. Short clip is ok, but doesn't have the same level of quality as the ones online. (poor transitions, lots of still photograph moments). Short clip also only included one night of our two night affair. Of course that was our fault for not "specifying in the two weeks". Again - in speaking to other videographers they include any amount of nights they are hired to shoot in the final clip - unless someone tells them not to.
    The final reason I am writing this review is that Henry did not call to discuss any of the issues. The so called wedding consultant was the one emailing. I asked for a call specifically to find out what we could do to make the video even a little bit better. Their final response was to "limit all communication at this point." Sad.

    Beware. I’m not sure how Henry decides which clients he goes all out for but I’m pretty sure we all sign the same contract and view the same rate cards. Henry did not make my ceremony in Washington DC. Yes you read that correctly. He showed up last minute to the pre ceremony, lacking time which I’m sure effected creativity in creating moments which I came to know him for through research. Thankfully our photographer was sharp enough to influence some shot angles or else I’m not sure what moments would have been captured. Due to traffic Henry (who assured me when consulting that he is more than familiar with DC traffic) was not able to find parking in time to make the most important part of the day. We received a half hearted apology at the reception followed by a promise to discuss details later (Only good choice of the day to not burden us with excuses). Henry was the only vendor that did not stop by to see us before leaving, I’m sure this is due to embarrassment but professionalism comes before pride. Weeks later we (not Henry) followed up via email and agreed to take a 20% refund in hopes that what was captured would save the day. 3 months later we received the worse quality of work I could have imagined. At times we can see unedited clips of him walking... terrible... Heartbroken. Is a understatement. Prior to this I asked if we could have all footage because I was reluctant on what shots would be selected and my husband edits film. I was told it would be the cost of the 20% that was previously refunded. Sigh... My husband and I haven’t been able to finish the full feature of pre ceremony and reception film because it is really just that disjointed. Thank goodness for amazing photographer who also flew in from out of town and managed to make the ceremony. I believe some couples have had a great experience, it shows in the videos he chooses to promote. But we were not so blessed. Be sure you are a chosen couple before booking.

    All future brides, please stay away from this vendor. Upon meeting and discussing our plans for the wedding with Henry Adewale, he talked a good game but failed to deliver what we paid for. We visited his personal website henryadewalefilms.com before we hired him. After reviewing the videos on his site, we thought he would be able to give us a great product. On wedding day, he was there filming for the whole day. He appeared to be working at capturing all of our special moments or so we thought. After the wedding we followed up with him and attempted to give him suggestions on what we want and didn't not want in the video. He assured us that we would be happy with the finished product. We had a beautiful wedding so we expected a top notched video. He ignored any requests/suggestions that we have made to him prior to him editing the video. He promised to shoot a "cinematic and story telling approach video of our wedding full of the day's most compelling, important and entertaining moments" but that is not what he delivered. Instead, he left out all of our special moments and he is now requesting additional money to put them back in. He is supposedly the only one who gets to decide what is important to include in the video. Everything you can think of that should be included in a wedding video is actually left out and he wants us to cough up more money for him to go back and edit the video. He also promised us a physical CD which we have yet to receive. This is the worst vendor we had to deal with. This guy is a total scam and an amateur. He is not flexible at all and is very unprofessional. Phone calls have gone unanswered. Please think twice before you hire him. Customer service/satisfaction means nothing to him.
