    Nothing but great things to say about Hoopla media. The one piece of advice everyone gave me during wedding planning was to be sure to get a videographer. I have some friends that didnt to save money and they ended up really regretting it.

    I'm very glad I listened. We are so happy with our video. We researched several other companies but this was definitely the best quality and most affordable price. They were very professional and respectful the day of - did a good job of capturing all the important moments but also staying behind the scenes.

    Sam was always flexible and responsive. I highly recommend Hoopla media to all engaged couples.

    Sam was absolutely great to work with! Super professional and so fun! He helped keep us calm on our big day (despite the rainy weather) and keep us laughing with smiles on our faces. I wondered if it would be awkward having someone follow us around all day with a camera, but I barely even noticed Sam and his team around! They fit in so well it was like 2 old friends hanging out with us. If I could go back and relive my wedding day over again, I would definitely make him part of it the second time around. We received our video a few months after our wedding and it is absolutely incredible! I'm so happy I have this to rewatch over and over and always remember our special day!

    Sam is wonderful at telling love stories through wedding films. He takes his job very seriously from emailing ahead of time to check in about a few things to showing up early. He was even willing to compromise regarding the video length we were looking for--he really is all about the customer needs and is very flexible. About halfway through our evening we realized we wanted Sam to stay for an hour or two longer, and when we asked him he told us he was planning to stay, whether we paid him or not, because he wanted to film the sparkler exit. He is incredibly heartfelt and passionate--this isn't just a job to him but something he cares deeply about. He took great care to include music and clips we wanted in the final edit, and allowed me to make as many edits as I wanted. He used a drone that got AMAZING shots of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the video is breathtaking.

    On a personal note, Sam has a heart of gold. My dad unexpectedly went into a coma the day after our wedding, and Sam quickly created a video of us dancing that I could play for him while he was in the hospital.

    Working with Sam wasn't like working with another vendor--we feel we have made a friend. We are obsessed with our video and will treasure it for the rest of our lives.

    I can't rave enough about working with Sam at Hoopla Media. We had not budgeted or planned for a videographer but a few weeks before the ceremony my grandmother was suddenly not able to attend, and was heartbroken about missing the day. Sam was SO flexible, calm, patient, and easy to work with, even with the looming deadline. He went above and beyond to capture every moment ALL DAY LONG. My husband and I are both awkward in front of the camera and were very nervous about being recorded, but everything was so comfortable and easy. Most importantly, our video was unbelievable. He captured the day so wonderfully. I am so glad that we will have these memories to watch and share and revisit. My grandma was delighted to be able to share the day safely from home. I can't recommend Hoopla Media highly enough!

    Working with Hoopla Media was an amazing experience. Sam Kempf recorded our wedding ceremony as well as our wedding party getting ready and our reception. We had a photographer as well, but I highly recommend Hoopla Media and Sam Kempf to capture all of those special moments you can only get on video! It was amazing to see the aspects of our wedding that we totally forgot or didn't get to see because we were busy taking pictures. Very satisfied with Hoopla Media and definitely recommend them!!!!

    Hoopla Media was amazing!!!!! Great experience, very professional, and quick turn around time for our video! Definitely recommend Hoopla Media to record the specials moments that photos just don't do justice!

    Amazing videography! Sam was very professional and fun to work with. The wedding video we received was an amazing quality and brought my husband and I to tears reliving our wedding day. The awesome thing about having a videographer instead of just the photographer was that we were able to capture other stuff going on throughout the wedding with guests that we missed out on while we got ready and took photos, etc. I highly recommend Hoopla Media!

    Seeing Sam Kempf's video of our daughter's wedding brought us beautiful memories as though we were experiencing that special day again. Though still photos are nice, a video is amazing! I re-experience the joy and beauty of that special day every time I watch it. Sam was a pleasure to work with, is very talented, very professional, and I highly recommend Hoopla Media!

    Looking back on our wedding day, one of the best decisions I made was to hire Sam to film our day from start to finish. The day went by so quickly and as time goes on it's easy to forget aspects of our wedding. Sam put together a work of art with our wedding video and I truly treasure it. Every time I watch the video I tear up again and feel like I am experiencing our wedding all over again. Thank you Sam!!!!

    Sam recorded our engagement video and photos for us. He did an excellent job capturing the excitement of the moment for us and was very easy to work with! We were able to use the photos for our save the date cards. Beautiful photos and we received many comments on how gorgeous they were. Thanks Hoopla Media!!!!

    Two of the most important parts of planning your big day really should be choosing your videographer and photographer. The wedding day flies by and before you know it, all you will have to look back at your special day will be the photos and video of your wedding. Choosing Sam at Hoopla Media to be our videographer was one of the best decisions we made. Looking back at the raw footage and highlight video has been so special to us and our families. Sam does such beautiful work and makes sure that you are satisfied with the end result. I highly recommend him and would definitely choose him all over again!

    Sam and Hoopla Media provided a beautiful video that captured the ceremony and reception for us to watch over and over. Even though the whole event was under a tent, Sam and his assistant put up with torrential rain, without a complaint. Sam talked with our photographer in advance so that they could coordinate their work. And they worked together to maintain a low profile, still getting great video. We were blessed to find Sam and Hoopla Media.
