Jaqi A. Sent on 11/22/2022Great Videographer
Go to experience James’ work at my sisters wedding, and had to hire him for mine the following year. I love that he gives raw footage so you can see everything. He’s a one man team but he uses multiple camera to catch multiple angles, and he captured little things that otherwise would’ve been unnoticed. He was also very quick about sending us the footage. Great Value, Great Quality, Great Videographer. Thank you James!!James Ryan Films's reply:
Thank you, Jaqi! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave me such a kind review. If there's ever anything I can do for you and Drew, please don't hesitate to ask. I hope you enjoy the holidays together as newlyweds! -

We loved having James film our wedding. For just one guy, he was everywhere! He is a raw footage only videographer but one of my sisters is a film director and agreed to edit our film as a wedding gift. We loved the idea, the cost and James did us right. He was a total pleasure to work with and got into the WeddingFest theme we had for our big day. I am happy to refer him!James Ryan Films's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Crystal! It truly was a pleasure working with you and Dain on one of the most joyful occasions of your lives. You two are very special people, as evidenced by the outpouring of love by your friends and family. I wish you only the very best. If there is ever anything else I can do for you, please let me know! -

James W. Sent on 08/05/2022James was exactly what we wanted and more
Looking for a videographer in the beginning was a little daunting. Most that provided editing and "movies" were very expensive and some charged extra for all of our footage. I feel lucky that we found James. He does no editing, but provides all the raw footage and at a reasonable price. You can also edit it yourself or pay someone to do so, but at least you will always have ALL of your footage. He met in-person and he gave us great vibes. He arrived at the wedding and he did not just have 1 camera, but 4. We ended up with lots of footage from multiple angles. He was running around filming everything for 8hrs. He worked hard and stayed kind and humble the entire time. He worked well with the photographers. He had nothing but kind words to say to us. When our footage was delivered it even came with a hand written letter. The videos were very high quality. Like we had our own movie production team. You will not regret hiring James.James Ryan Films's reply:
Wow, it makes my day to read this, James! Your gratitude and kind words mean so much. You and Rachel were truly a joy to work with. Thanks again for having me be a part of your amazing day!! -

Allison A. Sent on 03/08/2021AMAZING in every way!!
James is amazing! He is incredibly professional, kind and such a wonderful videographer!! We loved the fact that the film was unedited - it helped us see and hear things that we hadn't throughout the day. We had lots of laughs and "omg, I didn't know that happened" moments. We got the unedited film quickly in the mail and watched parts of our day over and over again. The video is high quality too of course :) we high recommend James!!James Ryan Films's reply:
Awww, thanks so much for your kind words, Ally! It was truly a pleasure working with you and Don. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and am so glad to hear you're having fun watching the video. Please don't hesitate to reach out if I can ever do anything else for you. Wishing you both all the very best! - James :) -

Lily A. Sent on 11/06/2020Exactly what we were looking for!
He was great to work with for our wedding! He was professional, his set up was impressive, and was quick to get us the raw video after the wedding. We had a larger wedding planned that went through a lot of changes during the pandemic and James took all those changes in stride. We would definitely recommend him! -

Ashley Sent on 01/23/2020So many angles of our wedding day!
We are so happy we went with James for our wedding videography! It has been so much fun looking through all the footage of moments that we didn't see and multiple angles of our ceremony and reception. James was great to work with, so nice, and literally filmed every thing on our wedding day! I didn't see videography as a must have item because I was so used to seeing the short 5 minute clips that have become popular, however there were so many moments during the night where I thought "I'm so glad this is on video!". We love that we have all the raw footage, so we will be able to pick and choose what we want to go in our final wedding video and put it together ourselves. Would definitely recommend James if you are looking for a documentation type of videographer, and then you can make your video what you really want! Thanks so much, James!James Ryan Films's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Ashley! It was truly a pleasure working with you and Aaron. If you need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out. Again, I wish you both a lifetime of health and happiness! -

Katherine S. Sent on 06/27/2019Friendly and professional!
I didn't even plan on having a videographer at my wedding on June 22, but my parents wanted it and found James. And honestly, I was shocked by how much I genuinely enjoyed having him there, and how many times throughout the night I thought 'I'm so glad this is on video.'
James was VERY friendly and professional. I heard him talking to the photographers to work out the best way for them to cover the event, and he was always around but never in the way. I will say--if you're not used to cameras, it does feel a little funny at first! My husband joked that when dances/toasts first started, he felt like we were hosting a press conference. But the cameras fade into the background very quickly, and James was actively managing them (moving things around so nothing was ever in the way, monitoring the dancing for anything that would make a good shot). He will make sure to ask the bride/groom on camera about anything special you are wearing (I had a handkerchief made from my mother's wedding dress), which I thought was really nice. He will also tactfully step in and out of the getting ready area so that he captures some of the hustle and bustle but isn't in the room when you're trying to get into your dress. That wasn't something I had thought about ahead of time, so I was glad James knew what he was doing!
I'm excited to get our uncut footage--I can't wait to play with it.James Ryan Films's reply:
Wow, thank you so much, Katherine! Reading this makes my day :) It was truly a pleasure working with you and Richard, seeing you surrounded by your loved ones and sensing how much you love another. It's weddings like yours that make me feel especially lucky to do what I do. Again, thank you so very much for your kind words and for having me be a part of your wonderful day! -

James was such a joy to work with at our wedding. We knew from the first time that we spoke on the phone that James was exactly who we needed to capture our big day. He was professional, friendly, and met all of our needs. We hope to work with him again in the future.James Ryan Films's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Jazmin! It was truly a pleasure working with you and Maury. I feel lucky to have been able to share in such a joyous occasion with such wonderful people. Thank you again and if you need anything, don't ever hesitate to reach out :) -

Arizona Sent on 11/13/2018Amazing, fun, laidback
James was an absolutely amazing videographer and he captured absolutely every single moment that we could have asked for and then some. He is extremely laid-back and fun and easy to talk to and made us really comfortable in front of the camera. He is really great and wonderful one I definitely recommend him to anyone who is having a wedding or an event that they would like to have captured and look at for the rest of their lives. I'm telling you it is worth it and he is absolutely amazing and his work is phenomenal.James Ryan Films's reply:
Wow, Arizona! I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful review. Thank you so much for your kind words. It was such a pleasure to work with you and John. It was really touching to see how much you love one another and what a great fit you make. I wish you all the happiness in the years ahead! -
