    Best team ever!

    There are simply not enough words to rave about Fonash Studios. Kevin + Martina were not only the most pleasant team we have ever worked with, but they were incredibly helpful from booking to wedding day to even months after! Kevin helped us to plan a detailed timeline of our big day so that we could both be in the moment and still feel like we captured everything we hoped. They made sure we were on time for everything (even transporting us to our first look!) and they made us look and feel like movie stars. Our wedding video is the greatest investment we made in planning our wedding and we will never ever be able to thank Kevin + Martina for the emotions and memories we get to relive over and over each time we watch our footage. Do not miss the opportunity to work with this amazing duo!! We love you both so much!

    The best in the biz!

    Stop your searching! THIS IS THE ONE!!! Working with Fonash was easily one of absolute best decisions we made for our wedding!! Aside from the fact that they are such an amazing group of people to work with - so kind, so supportive and professional - they are some of the most talented individuals ever! We had some unexpected rain and despite pushing through an outdoor ceremony, the Fonash team captured every moment! And when it came to producing our film, they leaned into the romance of our amazing (but rainy) day and created the most magnificent finished product. We are so incredibly happy with our film and get instantly transported back to our special day thanks to the Fonash team!!! Seriously, stop searching - this is it!

    Incredible wedding videographer and human!

    My wife and I got married in Ithaca in July 2022, and we found Fonash Studios after lots of internet searching for videographers in the area. We were initially drawn to Kevin’s work just by watching the many clips of his awesome videos that we found online, but we weren’t quite sure if we wanted to splurge for a videographer. After meeting with Kevin and hearing his passion and vision for our wedding, we were certain that we wanted to work with him. Throughout the entire process, he was incredibly warm, thoughtful, kind and encouraging. Both he and Martina always made us feel comfortable, allowed us to have fun, and were incredibly organized and resourceful. And of course, his work is incredible. The videos that he created were amazing, and captured the spirit and emotions of our day perfectly. We will cherish the feature film forever, and can’t believe we ever considered not having a videographer like Kevin work with us on our big day. Not to mention, he helped us with our wedding timeline, logistics, and really helped us manage our big day, which we were so appreciative of. Kevin was a key reason we had such an incredible wedding experience, and we were so fortunate to have been able to work with him. If you are looking for videographer for your wedding a special event, we can’t recommend Fonash Studios enough!

    Dynamic Duo!

    My wedding day was a day I dreamed of for my entire life. A day that I was starting to lose hope would ever happen. But then on St. Patty’s Day in 2017, I met my husband, and the vision started to become a reality again! We, full speed ahead, began our life together, and decided to have our daughter first. When it was FINALLY time to have our big celebration, it was important to us that this day be a celebration of our family, and to let our daughter know, for the rest of her life, that we chose her first.

    I began the wedding process by finding our wedding planner, Amanda, who after listening to my wedding day vision, strongly suggested that I find room in my budget for videography by Fonash Studios. I was hesitant at first but watched several of their feature films and quickly realized that this company far exceeds the rest. Watching the feature films of various couples, I was able to follow their individual stories finding myself sobbing over the weddings of complete strangers! I knew that I needed to find the space in my budget, and so I did just that!

    Last night I received my feature film and I simply cannot stop watching. Kevin and Martina are literally the dynamic duo! We had several meetings, prior to the big day, to discuss my vision and they took what was in my head and created a feature film that is simply perfect! I could not be more thankful to my planner for her persistence in my choosing Fonash Studios! I now have a feature film to keep the best day of our lives alive for all the days to come!

    Kevin and Martina are fun, they are professional, and they are on point! They were where they needed to be at all moments of the day and yet I barely noticed that they were filming!

    If you are on the fence about finding room in your budget for a videographer, do yourselves a favor, move some things around, and choose Fonash Studios! After the big day is over (and it goes by VERY FAST) having your day on film in the format of a movie is simply surreal. Not only do I have the feature film, but also HOURS of footage from the entire day… from beginning to end.

    Kevin and Martina- I cannot thank you enough for simply being you! You listened intently to our story and turned our dreams into a reality! We will treasure your work for all of the days to come and for that there are simply not enough words of gratitude. You two are simply perfect! Thank you!

    Fantastic Videographer

    Kevin is a fantastic videographer! We were on the fence about hiring a videographer for our wedding as we didn’t know how much value we would get from it. However, when we watched our video for the first time (after being in awe and wiping away tears) it became obvious that it was worth every penny. The ability to re-live that day and feel those same emotions again is beyond words. We absolutely love our wedding video and have zero regrets about hiring a videographer. Kevin and Martina were a joy to work with and made us feel so comfortable about being filmed and wearing a microphone that we honestly didn’t even know they were there! Thank you so much Kevin & Martina. We highly recommend Fonash Studios!

    Beyond our expectations !

    My husband and I booked Fonash Studios for our December wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made. Kevin and Martina are so easy to work with and professional. They addressed all of our questions quickly and efficiently. They made sure to capture all of our personal touches that we wanted included on our wedding day and made us feel like we were their most important customers every step of the way. If you have any hesitations about booking them forget them all because they are worth it 100% and I would not change a thing! They are extremely talented and passionate about what they do and it shows through their work.

    One Million Stars! Beyond Incredible!

    I would give Fonash Studios a million stars if I could. Hiring Kevin & Martina was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Like many couples, we debated about whether or not to add the additional cost of videography to the wedding budget. However, once we saw the films on their website, which are Hollywood-trailer-movie-level quality, we knew we had to book them ASAP. Now that it's all over, I can't imagine not having the video to be able to relive our wedding over and over again with audio and video - way above and beyond what a photograph can provide.

    Kevin was extremely organized and on top of all the small details to make for a great video including how to set up the room, what to use for vow books, etc. Kevin set up an interview with us ahead of time which gave us a chance to tell our story, as a couple, on film, chat through all the details of the day, and also get to know Kevin & Martina in person.

    The day of the wedding, they were a perfect mix of professional and fun - and really helped us feel comfortable and normal, despite the abnormal experience of having a camera crew follow us around. He and Martina also worked seamlessly with our photographers (Delorenzo Photography, who recommended Fonash Studios in the first place) - so that there was equal priority given to photography and videography during the wedding day.

    Kevin did a next-day edit (!!!) of the raw wedding footage for us so that we could send it to long-distance family. He released three teaser videos on Instagram/Facebook for us to give us a sneak peak of our final video. The editing for the final film takes a while (~4.5 months), but honestly, the wait is 100% worth it. Kevin went above and beyond what we ever dreamed of in a wedding film and integrated pictures of us as a couple and home movies into the final film.

    The final film is nothing short of an absolute masterpiece, and is edited so incredibly well. Even though I've watched it about 10 times since receiving it, it continuously brings tears to my eyes with how epic it is. It's more of a story and an experience rather than a blow-by-blow documentation of the events of the day - but that's what makes it so magical.

    I really cannot say enough amazing things about Fonash Studios, but if you can find space in your wedding budget to hire these wizards, do yourself a favor and do it - you will absolutely not regret it.

    Married 9/15/2018

    Kevin went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was planned and orchestrated for us. This meant the world to us and eliminated the huge burden of having to stress over the timeline of the day! He also worked diligently to capture every moment for us, while making us feel entirely relaxed and comfortable. Overall, I don’t think we could’ve chosen a better individual and professional to capture our wedding.

    Highly Recommend!

    Kevin was phenomenal from day one of reaching out to him. He alleviated so much stress by helping us with our wedding day timeline. He even coordinated on it with our photographer so we didn't have to play middleman! During the wedding, it seemed like he captured every moment, but was invisible the whole time. We are so grateful that he was there to capture our day so beautifully.

    Best decision I ever made was to hire Kevin and his team to document my wedding. They did an AMAZING job with the preview trailer and the full highlights video. The day went by so fast that it's hard to really let everything sink in and enjoy it. I was so overwhelmed re-watching the video footage. The selection of clips, editing, and audio was perfect. It's hard to watch the videos and not shed a tear. The footage of our wedding is something we'll cherish for the rest of our lives. Kevin was great with communication and the two men he sent to document our day were friendly, professional, and a joy to have that day. Kevin and his team did a wonderful job and I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!

    Kevin is an absolute dream to work with! We originally chose Kevin for the style of his videos. They were personal and touching with fabulous editing and music choices. They also had such a unique and natural artistic style that we really loved. Once we officially went with Kevin, we only began to love him more! Communicating leading up to the wedding was incredibly simple. He was always quick to respond and answer any concerns or questions we had via email. On the day of, Kevin and Martina captured every single moment they possibly could. They were so thoughtful and flexible throughout the day, even when I insisted on running away from filming "sunset moments" to dance to my favorite song I heard playing on the dance floor :) They understood that as much as we wanted great video, we also wanted to enjoy every moment of our day. Our highlights and teaser videos were STUNNING and brought tears to everyone's eyes.We cannot tell you how many compliments we received on our teasers and highlights. We thought it could not get any better, but then we received our DVDs. The DVD cases were GORGEOUS. The DVDs included our teaser and and highlight videos and had scene selections from all parts of the day. The footage was amazing. We did notice that there wasn't any footage from cocktail hour or our fireworks or bonfire on our DVDs (we also couldn't remember if our package included that, having chosen it so long ago). We contacted Kevin and he said he had the footage and would put it together for us. Within a week, we received four new DVDs with beautifully edited and added footage (with music!) of our cocktail hour and bonfire/fireworks. It was just such a wonderful thing he did for us and we will be forever grateful that he allowed us to relive our day for the rest of our lives!

    Kevin is absolutely amazing to work with and I can't say enough about his talent! We chose him to do our cinematography for our wedding on May 13, 2017. While planning our wedding, my husband and I were uncertain whether having cinematography was really worth it! We made up our mind and decided to hire Kevin! We have absolutely no regrets! We fell in love! Everything was perfect and he made us feel very comfortable throughout the entire process! We are beyond grateful for his kindness, amazing talent and true professionalism! He was a gem to work with! The quality of his work is absolutely impeccable and we can't thank him enough for creating a fairy tale-like wedding film that we can replay for generations to come, allowing us to relive those unforgettable moments! Thank you, Kevin!

    Kevin Fonash is an awesome, talented videographer! You can tell he loves what he does and he is super helpful and accommodating. He worked great with our other vendors. He put a trailer up our wedding day and I keep getting compliments on it. We are so happy we went with Kevin! We highly recommend him and couldn't have asked for a better videographer!

    Kevin was amazing and easy to work with. He really has an eye for what he does and the video he captures is truely beautiful. I have watched the clip of our wedding hundreds of times since completed. If you are on the fence about a videographer just do it, and choose Kevin you will not regret it.
