Katie and Ryan are the FULL PACKAGE team! We choose their photo/video package and definitely didn't go wrong.
Every step of the planning process was made so easy by having knowledgeable vendors. Katie was so helpful with our day of timeline. We had 2 engagement shoots with them and they were both so much fun and the photos are beautiful! I can't wait to get the rest of our photos and our video back! -

We found Compass Studios on our venue's preferred vendor’s list and we are so glad that we did. We reached out to Compass Studios and decided to go with the silver package and were assigned to Andrew. Andrew was so much fun to work with! He has a great sense of humor and made us immediately feel at ease. We truly enjoyed spending our wedding day with him. We received our video and raw wedding footage a few weeks later. Our video was beautiful and the raw footage was so much fun to watch. We will cherish this video forever. -

Ryan and Katie are a husband wife duo for photography and videography. A few months before the wedding we decided to capture the day with a videographer. While chatting with Katie we were lucky enough to find out that Ryan was available to film our wedding day. He was very easy to work with and very much out of the way throughout everything. He had great attention to detail of his footage and ensured that all the important things were captured. It has been amazing to look back on the footage he provided. These memories are truly priceless and I can’t imagine my wedding day without them. Whether videography or photography I definitely recommend investing with them. -

Katie and Ryan captured our wedding day perfectly. They were responsive to every email and question and gave us recommendations for other vendors (some of which we ended up using and were thrilled with!). They made me and my husband (who both can be pretty awkward in pictures), feel so comfortable behind the camera. They had our sneak peek pictures back to us the day after our wedding and sent the rest of our pictures to us a few weeks before we were expecting! They captured all of the amazing candid moments of our wedding, which was exactly what we wanted. They also did an incredible job working with the natural light outside and finding the perfect spots for all of the more "staged" photos. I could not recommend them more! -

Amazing Videography!
We’re so happy that we hired Compass Studios!! It’s so fun and emotional to re-live all of the special moments (including those we didn’t even notice or remember in the craziness of the day!) and to see our loved ones enjoying the day. We will truly cherish the footage forever.
Andrew was our day-of videographer. He was a calm, professional and positive presence. He made everyone feel comfortable, and worked very well with our photographer. He managed to capture all of the important moments, like the first kiss and personal vows (the audio was super clear despite breezy weather), and also the little moments like my grandpa seeing me in my dress and our little niece dancing with her dad. The quality of their work and service is excellent! -

Working with Compass Studios was a highlight in our wedding planning experience. They were extremely professional, great with communication, and just lovely to work with. Ryan was our videographer the day of our wedding and he had such a great energy about him, was efficient, and flexible. We're not big "picture people" but we felt so comfortable and at ease thanks to his guidance and enthusiasm. The final highlight video perfectly captured so many of our favorite moments from the day. A big reason why I chose Compass Studios was because I could book a package that included raw footage from the day, which I found was not the norm. This has already come in handy, allowing us to share our first dance video with my sister-in-law who was taking care of her son and missed the live version! I highly recommend Compass Studios! -

Epic Pictures & Videos!
Hiring our wedding photographer and videographer was one of the most important decisions about our event and we treated it as such. Having our wedding away from our home country without all our family we knew we had to preserve the memories of the day so everyone could enjoy it with us, even if they couldn’t come celebrate with us on the day-of.
We took a good amount of time to learn and speak with many providers, reviewed their contracts (this was essential to us!), learned their style and visualized them at our wedding. Wedding photography/ videography is an investment and we had to make sure we’re investing where our visions align and with a company who would capture our personalities and reflect our love for each other.
Simply put, COMPASS STUDIOS IS THE BEST! We booked Compass Studios for their ultimate Photo Video Package which included a photographer for 8-hrs, a second photographer for 4-hrs and a videographer for 8-hrs. They are extremely professional and a great team which we believe is one of their biggest strengths, besides having a great eye and creative ideas. Katie and Ryan make you feel like you are family and they are seamlessly there recording the occasion, making sure no detail is left, taking every opportunity for a great shot or footage.
We first met Katie for our engagement session a few months before the wedding, and it was a pretty spontaneous idea as we thought we didn’t want it at first since we’re camera shy. It ended up being a great decision because first, it was really fun – Katie was open to meet us for an early sunrise session – and second, we also got practice for the wedding, finding out what poses we liked and what we had to hone on.
Our wedding was crushed by a tropical storm and despite the rain, Katie, Ryan and their associate photographer were all great sports, ready to go in the rain and to still give us the dreamy views of the vineyard. When the weather didn’t permit for a certain shot setup we originally planned for, they offered us other ideas and made sure we utilized our winery venue and its surroundings to the fullest. We have some unique pictures that others with sunny weddings don’t get and thanks to Compass Studios we wouldn’t want things differently. Now when we have our photos and videos – and they are out of this world! – we feel honored a tropical storm rained good luck to our marriage and that Compass Studios helped us realize it and appreciate the uniqueness of the day (because before your wedding happens, who wants or counts on a rainy day).
Now when we had our engagement session and our wedding captured by Compass Studios, we can’t wait to continue our beautiful journey and look forward to the next session we schedule with them. We have the most amazing experience. -

We used compass studios for our wedding video. Erin was super nice, and put up with me being a pain in the butt and changing my mind a dozen times, but I’m 100% satisfied with my video. It makes me happy every time I watch it.
Erin was professional and worked really well with my photographers so that they didn’t get in each others way while capturing all the best shots of the day.
My favorite part is being able to show my grandmother who couldn’t be at the wedding our video so she could feel like she was part of the whole experience. It was such a special day for us and I’m so glad our video captures all of those memories. -

Katie and Ryan were recommended by our venue and we loved working with them as our photographers! Katie shot our engagement session and helped us feel very comfortable. Our pictures turned out great and we used them in our invitations, our website, and on our wedding tables.
Katie and Ryan both shot our wedding day and captured so many beautiful moments. Our pictures really captured the happiness, love, and fun our families felt and we will truly cherish these memories forever. Thank you to both for making our wedding day such a wonderful event! -

Katie and Ryan captured our day perfectly!
We hired Katie and Ryan about 18 months out from our wedding date. I found them through Instagram, and when Katie heard where we were getting married, she agreed to talk to us because she loved our venue so much! We had a great conversation, and my then fiancé and I knew we had to hire her and her husband Ryan for photo and video. It was a huge plus for us that they were a couple, and used to working together for both photo and video.
We had an engagement shoot with Katie about a year out from our wedding. She was great at directing us into poses, and we used one of the photos for our save the dates!
For the day of our wedding, Katie and Ryan were on point for everything. They knew our timeline/schedule thoroughly, and were so coordinated- capturing candids and posed pictures/moments. They brought a second shooter, Jay, who was so kind when I was a bit anxious about the weather. He also captured some great flower girl shots (which can be hard to get with two very young toddlers/girls!).
At one point, we had finished our couple portraits. We were relaxing for a bit before our reception began, and we learned there was a rainbow outside! We ran outside, and Katie was ready to get an AMAZING picture of us in front of the rainbow- probably one of our favorite pictures we've seen so far!
Katie was so quick to send us sneak peek photos- by 1pm the day after our wedding. They were spectacular, and I can't wait to see the rest of the photos and our wedding video in a few weeks.
Hire Ryan and Katie for your wedding photo/video!! -

I have edited this review several times, because each time I read it, it doesn't express enough how much we enjoyed working with Katie and Ryan (Compass Studios). So to start, I would say if you are reading this review searching for a photographer and videographer, stop looking, because you've found the team that will capture your wedding day! They are truly professionals and their experience in the wedding industry shines through in so many ways. Prior to the wedding day, Katie and Ryan were easily reached to answer our questions and discuss our vision. They day of the wedding, our timeline was tight and Katie and Ryan were so excellent with keeping the day on track. They made us feel instantly comfortable with them and in front of the camera. We also loved working with their second photographer Vijay! It was awesome to be able to have him with the guys as they got ready before the wedding. Lastly the quality of their work is fantastic. I'm so excited to get our favorite pictures framed, and so glad we have our wedding video to help us cherish the memories of our wedding day. Thank you Katie and Ryan! -

We had an excellent experience with Compass Studios for our wedding videography! Andrew was our videographer, and he was such a pleasant part of our day. He was kind, funny, and made being in front of the camera easy for us. We purchased the Silver package and it was exactly what we needed. Katie created our highlight video and we absolutely loved it - she even delivered it earlier than her contract stated. I'd highly recommend Compass Studios for wedding videography! -

Cannot thank Katie & Ryan enough for their collaboration and beautiful work! We went with the photo & video package which is such a good deal, and added an engagement shoot + video teaser.
Katie was more than accommodating when we requested a slightly warmer retouching style for our photos, which turned out beautifully with our fall color palette. I'm so grateful for her flexibility because I know other photographers would not have accommodated this request.
I also shared specific inspiration for an upbeat and fun teaser video that is different from what Katie & Ryan typically do - they didn't hesitate to try something new, and I'm still blown away at they delivered.
Beyond grateful for their collaboration, flexibility and communication, and they helped us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We will cherish their work for many years! -

I could not be happier with my wedding video from Compass Studios! My husband was a little on the fence about hiring a videographer since we had already spent so much on other vendors. We opted for one of the less expensive videography packages and were STUNNED by the results. Erin was a joy to work with on the day of and Katie was excellent to communicate with during the entire process. Everyone will tell you that your wedding day will go by in a blur, but I never believed it. I’m so glad I decided to hire Compass as my videographer because everyone is completely right! The wedding day was magical—and crazy! Watching our video helps me remember all of the joy and love from that day, and it’s so fun to see different moments that I missed while doing other bride things! I also love that we received the raw footage as well, so we can truly have all of our memories from our wedding forever. My husband even told me that he was so glad that I pushed to hired a videographer because the content we received back from Compass was so special. I cannot recommend Katie, Erin, and everyone at Compass studios enough! If you’re looking for a high quality and affordable videography team, look no further! I would give them a million stars if I could. -

Highly recommend!
Katie & Ryan were the photographers for our wedding back in May and they did an unbelievable job at capturing our day! The weather was less than ideal that day but the pictures & video could not have turned out more beautiful. They are extremely talented and were so lovely to work with. I highly recommend this sweet couple! -
