The best videographer in DMV. We had an excellent experience with James.
I am so glad that I found james for our daughters wedding as a videographer. He has an amazing scale that I have never seen in any other videographers. He’s very professional, he knows exactly what he’s doing, and he knows how to capture the most beautiful clips and memories from any occasions . We are thankful that he was there for our daughter’s wedding and I know for sure that we will be using his service again for our kids upcoming weddings and other events.
I highly recommend James. He is one of the best Videographer in DMV. Thank you James, and I’m sure we will see you again soon.
You have an incredible skill.

Easy going, Professional, Helpful
James was great to work with start to finish. He was very professional and fun to work with. I was amazed at all the shots/videos he got at our wedding it was nice to reminisce on the wedding day after all the excitement has ended to be able to relive it again. I will admit I have watch the short and long clips multiple times already as I can't get enough of them. I highly recommend James to capture your wedding as he gave us the perfect gift to remember our day forever!

James was excellent to work with and is excellent with communication. He did an amazing job videoing my wedding. I was on the fence about getting a videographer for my wedding, but I am so glad I did and that I chose James!

Great quality and price
We're so thrilled that we were convinced to get a wedding videographer and that we found James on WeddingWire. His affordable price compared to others in the area was the initial draw, but once we started working with James, we really appreciated his friendliness, responsiveness, and professionalism.
Within a week from the wedding, James sent us an edited 10 minutes highlight video. He took feedback openly and immediately made some edits to meet our needs. He also sent us the full wedding recording, which was so great to watch since as bride and groom there were so many moments that we missed.
James' editing style is not like a movie trailer, like I saw other videographers do, but it's a chronological capture of the event, with some stylistic and creative elements - which is exactly what we wanted.
I'm sure we'll cherish these videos for many year, and we recommend James to others without hesitation!

Great Wedding Videographer!
James Bonato did an amazing job filming and producing our wedding video! He gave us both a short highlight video and a edited long video. James did a great job capturing the ceremony and every highlight moment throughout the reception. He was excited for our wedding and came with a big smile! Thank you for being a part of our special day!

Captured amazing moments!!
James captured amazing moments from my wedding day. The morning of my wedding, we had issues with other vendors that unfortunately affected some emotions in the room but even in all the unplanned chaos we had, James somehow captured BEAUTIFUL moments with my friends and family. He was also really fast at delivering the footage to us and was very receptive to any feedback we may have had. He’s an absolute pleasure to work with and I will be hiring him again for any other big events we might have in the future!

Don’t let this Videographer get away from you!
James was wonderful from beginning to end. He provided two videos: one short and one long. Both were of excellent quality and the short version was perfect to share with family and friends. He was even flexible on the day of the wedding and worked with the other vendors. I highly recommend him for your wedding or any event, for that matter!

James is the best!!!!
We had THE BEST experience working with James. He was professional, kind, responsive, reasonably priced, and delivered an amazing highlights wedding video to us 7 days after the wedding-and the video was perfect (with a flash drive of the full wedding mailed to us in 7 days as well). On the wedding day he arrived 3 hours early just to walk the area and know the lay of the land (on his own time- not being paid for that). I just can't say enough about how much I enjoyed working with him and how pleased we were with the results.

Best Videographer!
James was an amazing videographer for our big day! He captured every little moment that was so special to us. We were shocked watching both our highlight video and full length video seeing all the things he captured. He was a trooper through all the changes we had to make due to the weather. We could not recommend James enough!!

Choose James for all your videography needs!
James is the best! His turnaround time for both the highlights video and the full wedding video was incredibly fast! Our wedding day went by quickly, so having the videography content less than 2 weeks after the wedding really allowed us to relive our special day! As the Bride and Groom, we can't be everywhere at once but James's videography captured all the beautiful moments that we missed!
James came with so many fun ideas - the Groom and Groomsmen had such a great time filming quirky, fun getting-ready clips with him! He is very energetic and personable and super fun to work with! He was flexible and accommodating throughout the wedding planning process, even when we needed to change our date due to COVID. Even though he didn't know our photography team prior to the wedding, he worked very well with them so that they could both capture the shots they needed without getting in each others' way!
The picture and sound quality of his videos were amazing! He was able to capture our whole wedding ceremony and reception for us! We were so impressed with James and are happy we chose him to capture our special day!

The Videographer you NEED for your Wedding
We were so glad we hired James to do our videography for our wedding on June 4. The quality of the videos (he provides a short version and long version of your wedding) were very impressive, and we got our videos within one week of our wedding! He was so professional and made you feel comfortable that he would capture all of the good moments, moments you may have missed and more! He was very easy to talk to and answered all of our questions with ease as he has many years in the business. Definitely hire him for your videography needs!

So Happy with Our Videographer!!
James is an incredibly kind, personable guy who did an excellent job getting every angle and providing a quality, 90-min wedding reel with an insanely fast turnaround time (about a week). He also gave us a 7+ minute highlight video which was so beautifully edited and captured so many special moments. My family and friends have raved about the video and I still cry every time I watch it. James goes the extra mile to get great sound and perfect angles and he’s always available for a conversation if you have questions. He was such a pleasure to work with from our very first phone call. And James was incredibly kind and accommodating when we had to reschedule our wedding twice because of COVID. We can’t recommend James enough! Use him and you’ll be glad you did!

Fantastic Videography
James did a fabulous job for my daughters wedding. He was so professional, cheerfully accommodating the terms of the church’s photography contract. You barely know he is present during the event but somehow he captures great footage! As an editor/producer, he takes great care to put together a very balanced and moving composition from the beginning solemn moments of you ceremony through to the joyous moments of the day. Overall, he is a great guy to work with and you will be thrilled with his work. You could probably spend more elsewhere and get half the value. I’ll be calling James again for my next event.

Amazing videographer!
I'm so happy we had James by our side to capture our wedding. He was very communicative before the event, didn't need any direction throughout and sent the videos very promptly after. His highlight video was so beautiful, and the long version of our big day is so special to have. I highly recommend James Bonato and he will be our go to person for all our future video needs. Thank you, James!

Perfect Videographer!
We had an amazing experience working with James. We could immediately tell when we first spoke with him that he is very experienced and passionate about his work. He communicated and listened well to everything we wanted and captured all the intimate moments just as we asked. He was also excellent in working with our photographer. James sent us our highlight wedding clip within five days, and we received both the short and long versions of our wedding video after one week! When we had to postpone, he was so accommodating, flexible, and understanding in helping us navigate our wedding planning through the pandemic. We did not have any issues keeping him as our videographer for our new date, and there were no extra fees. We 100% recommend James to anyone seeking a videographer for their wedding. The quality and value of his services cannot be beat!

Magical Event
James was very communicative throughout the booking process and all services were clear and concise. He arrived earlier than noted which was awesome.and was set up and ready to go in no time. He literally caught every moment of the bridal party, guests and overall fun and love. Hands down best vwedding video I have ever seen and I am elated that I own such a masterpiece. Very personable, professional and just a joy to work with.

Awesome Videographer!
We hired James back in 2019 and he stuck with us through two COVID delays. When our big day was finally approaching, James set up a call where we discussed our vision and went over some key details. He was actually able to catch an error in the timeline my planner put together! Talk about an eye for detail. On our wedding day, James was incredibly easy to work with. He managed to capture moments that I didn't even know happened. He was somehow everywhere but at the same time not noticeable. We had our short and long video in our inbox within a week after our wedding day. Honestly, we were skeptical given how quickly we got it, but I was simply blown away! Hire James and you won't regret it.

James was A++++++
James was beyond amazing. We got married at Morningside Inn in Frederick, MD. He was their recommended videographer. He’s been doing work there for nearly 30 years. We had great communication prior to the event. The day of he was everywhere making sure everything we needed was taken care of. He made us feel comfortable and ready for our big day. After the event he had our highlight clip to us within 4 days and had our full video sent out within a week. I’d recommend him to anyone that’s getting married or has an event they want documented. We had James from 2pm through the end of our event at 1030pm
