Susan is absolutely wonderful!

I cannot say enough good things about Susan. She did a wonderful job at my sister's wedding 5 years ago and was so wonderful for ours last fall! Rescheduling our wedding mid-covid with Susan was a breeze, and she was so understanding about what we were going through. On the day of, she blended in seamlessly, but also stepped in at the right times to suggest really sweet shots. She was so easy to work with for the small amount of edits we requested to the film. The final product left us speechless! She caught so many beautiful moments, and truly captured the essence of the day. Thank you, Susan!

Light Parade Films's reply:

I was so happy to see your family again and to capture your beautiful wedding day. Thank you so much for the kind words!!

An Excellent Videographer & so much more!

Susan is an amazing videographer! She's incredibly talented, creative and helpful in everything wedding related!

I originally chose Susan because of the excellent video she made for my sister's wedding but I got so much more! She's knowledgeable about everything a wedding entails and is always willing to help!

She's simply wonderful!

Accommodating, Helpful with Incredible results!

Susan was incredible, having her there shooting video was probably the best purchase we made. This lady has attention to detail and works very, very hard. She was so accommodating and helped us both out throughout the whole day. About the editing and actual video.....
Incredible..... made me as a guy tear up. You get nervous that the video will have things in it that could be embarrassing and she only chose the best moments that highlighted us in the best light. She even got our footage back in a timely manner. I will recommend her to everyone I talk to. Please spend the extra money and get a videographer, if you're lucky get Light Parade Films.

Light Parade Films's reply:

Thank you so much Mike!!! It's so nice to hear from the guys every once in a while ;) You two are so sweet and made my job easy!!

Blown. Away!

Susan with Light Parade was my wedding videographer for my big day. As a wedding photographer, I thought I knew the importance of film, but I really truly didn't. I always thought "photos are #1!", but to actually see your emotions IN motion... Thats something that a photographer cannot capture. We can only capture the still. My wedding film is nothing short of spectacular and almost two years later, my wedding film make me tear up and it truly makes me FEEL like the day I got married. I see us crumble with our first look, me clutching my geriatric boston terrier and crying into her when I was getting ready, to see those emotions play out I never realized how amazingly special they were until I had my very own film.
I would not know what I do without this film, as it is my most cherished take way from my wedding. Susan SLAYED it! She's not only fun, she is a true professional, and she created a film that was just so unique to us as a couple. Thank you Susan! I love that you created something so special for me and my hubs, and as always I get so excited when my couples choose you for their big day as well!

Very responsive

We planned our wedding in Cincinnati from out of town in the midst of moving from one state to another. Needless to say, life was chaotic. Susan and LPF helped to make the planning a little easier. She was very responsive by email, accommodated my trip to Cincinnati, and made time for me during my crazy schedule. Day of, she was a calming presence who provided a bit of humor that I needed very much. She captured our day beautifully, I still tear up very time I watch our video. We are so very thankful that we found her to film our special day.

Susan and her assistant were absolutely a dream to work with! We signed up for her package that includes a 3-minute highlight video and a 30-minute "feature" that captured all the most amazing moments from our day. She did an amazing job pairing images with voice-over that makes for an incredible memory we'll have forever. Day-of Susan was prepared and even stepped in to save the day with some double-stick tape for me (the bride) to help with my dress!

Light Parade Films's reply:

Thank you so much Alaine! You and your crew were so much fun to work with. Wishing you and Michael all the best!

Susan and her team shot my wedding yesterday and I can say that she is incredible. She took so much time shooting details and I could even tell some of the shots she was getting were going to look perfect. Video and Photo were super important to me so I did a lot of research and she was highly recommended to me by a friend who used her in her own wedding. I haven't even seen my wedding video yet but I know it is going to be great just by seeing all her other work out there. The cameras werent shoved in my face, I barely knew they were even there! Its already a stressful day with so many eyes looking at you it can be certainly overwhelming but I really enjoyed having her shoot my special day.

Light Parade Films's reply:

Your details were amazing!! I could have shot details for hours :) Thank you so much for such kind words... The day after your wedding, no less! It was a beautiful day and you were a beautiful bride. I'll have a little teaser up for you soon.

My recent wedding was very intimate with immediate family only, and in my parent's backyard. Though the wedding was small, we knew we wanted a videographer to remember our special day. We had a difficult time finding a vendor who would film such a small event, but Susan at Light Parade Films didn't hesitate to work with us. She was kind, prompt, professional, and a joy to work with. We recently received the shorter 'teaser' video and it is so beautiful and over exceeded our expectations! I cannot thank Susan enough for her beautiful work and I would absolutely recommend Light Parade Films for any wedding or elegant affair!

Susan & her team are OUTSTANDING! I am absolutely OBSESSED with my highlight & wedding video!! I ultimately chose LPF bc of the immediate comfort I felt when I met Susan -feeling comfortable & myself while they were videotaping was very important to me. Communication with Susan was never an issue, she responded to my e-mails in a few hours (amazing). The day of the wedding, she showed up EARLY to the hotel & started working right away. We were all at ease with her immediately. It rained the day of our wedding so some of our photo locations were just not going to work, so Susan worked my photographer to come up with locations that could work, & made my life SO much easier (much appreciated)! Honestly, after that I don't even remember seeing them, they were as sly as a cat. As soon as we got back from honeymoon we had a wedding highlight ready & it was OUTSTANDING!! It had all the important parts of our day & was a perfect short video to watch to get a feel for the day if our friends/family couldn't make it - everyone loved it! A few weeks later we got the full video which is about 35 minutes & I am in LOVE with it - seriously, Susan did an outstanding job getting all the important details of our day. Having all the readings, homily, & vows were important to me, and she used all the music from the ceremony in these parts -SO impressed! Honestly though, watching our first look & seeing my husbands reaction & hearing him read his letter to me before the ceremony made the whole videographer/wedding video package worth it. He's not one to show affection so to see how happy he was & how much he loves me all day just means the world to me. Seeing the whole day in video lets you relive all the moments in a way that just looking at pictures doesn't allow you to and I am SO SO happy that my and I hired LPF! Susan + Team, thank you SO MUCH for capturing the most important day in our lives so miraculously - I will treasure the video and highlight video for years!!!

Susan and her crew are beyond awesome! Working with her was an incredible experience from when we booked her (over a year before our wedding) to the day we got married! She was so great in fact that most people didn’t even realize we there was a videographer present at our wedding. Susan was very professional and provided details about every step of the experience. We received our wedding video only a few months after our wedding and it turned out perfectly. All the footage and the music paired with it were amazing! I will certainly be referring Susan to everyone I know!

Light Parade Films's reply:

Thank you so much Kelsey! Your wedding was gorgeous and it was an honor to capture it!

Susan and her team did an AMAZING!!!! job with the wedding. I was overjoyed and so proud to share the video with all of my friends and family, especially those who were unable to attend the wedding. The highlight reel captured all of the most important and best moments of the day and wove it together as a perfect story. We went with a fairytale theme and Susan was able to capture all of the enchantment of the day. She went above and beyond to make sure that the important moments were captured and all of the little details did not go unnoticed. She was a joy to work with and was easily available by phone or email to answer questions. She coordinated effortlessly with our photographers to ensure that we stayed on the timeline set for the day.

For the data drive brides out there like myself here are some of the pertinent reasons why I chose Susan out of the 10+ I considered.
- She has tons of experience (100+ weddings)
- I love her documentary/cinematic style that really creates a story of your love
- She knew how to be present without being obtrusive (not standing in the middle of the aisle) and coordinate with the photographers
- She is professional (has insurance, backup equipment and people etc)
- She is passionate about her work and dedicated (and awesome at it)
- She had a quick turnaround time for the highlight film and video
- She answered all 50 of my questions (really 50) with a smile!

All I can say is that I am SO happy that I chose Susan and Light Parade Films. Everyone I showed our wedding video to was so impressed with it! I have and will recommend her to anyone getting married in the Cincinnati area. But you don't have to take my word for it, her great work is on the website for you to check out for yourself. You won't be disappointed!!!

Light Parade Films is absolutely wonderful and totally worth the money! Susan is amazing to work with. She responded to emails and questions in a timely manner. On the wedding day she was on point making sure she was capturing all the special and important moments. She made you feel very comfortable during the interview and all throughout the day. She had our sneak peak video done within a week and it was so nice to come home from our honeymoon to such an amazing video! I have watched it 1,000 times since!
I am so glad I had a videographer but I am so happy I chose Light Parade Films to help capture my day!

Susan and her assistant were an AMAZING team and made everyone very comfortable during the filming process throughout the day. Multiple family members remarked how comfortable they felt around her throughout the entire day. She was very accommodating and willing to meet before our wedding to go over all of the details. It was also amazing to see how she coordinated with our videographer throughout the entire day and night. The finished product was delivered in a cute and creative package, very attractive! My husband and I, as well as everyone we have shown the video to love how the video was structured and the moments that she captured throughout the day. She knows how to get a glimpse of the entire day into a video that is just the right amount of length. Our highlight reel was ready shortly after the wedding. She even incorporated an extra clip in that our vocalist was not able to sing in the church mass, which we really appreciated and are happy that she was able to get this into our video. A++ job! Thank you for an amazing video, Susan! You are the BEST!!

My husband and I were absolutely thrilled with LPF! Susan was a joy to work with throughout every step of the process. She was always very responsive and flexible, making sure that our needs were met and questions were answered. Although Susan stayed in the background while filming on our wedding day, her calm and cheerful demeanor made her a pleasure to have around that day. I was nervous going into the pre-wedding audiotaped interview that she uses for voice-overs in the video. True to form, Susan made that process easy and fun, and it ended up enhancing my experience on our wedding day. Susan completed the teaser so quickly, which we truly appreciated. I loved how Susan checked in with us while creating the full video to make sure we were comfortable with the choices she was making. We could not be more pleased with how the full-length video came out. She captured the day so beautifully, incorporating so many special moments set to our favorite music. Not only was the video amazing, but the packaging and special touches she included when she sent it to us was beautiful too! We clearly cannot say enough good things about Susan and LPF. We recommend her and her services without any reservations whatsoever.

My wife and I had our wedding in Indianapolis on November 29th, 2014. I had been referred to Light Parade Films from our photographer, Daniel Michael. Daniel highly recommended Light Parade to us and we trusted his judgement. Susan Fielding from Light Parade was immediately excited for the project and the challenge of an Indian wedding. She worked with us from the start to make sure she had a clear understanding of the events, our expectations and any other items she needed to know ahead of time.

Once we got to the actual events of the wedding weekend, Susan and her team did a tremendous job of documenting the whole events while not taking away from the events. Susan made sure to not become a part of the events and we appreciated her subtle ways. After receiving the videos back from the wedding, we couldn't be happier with the final product. Susan was truly a pleasure to work with and we would recommend her to document any event in the future.

Susan was great. She was professional, always responded to emails quickly. Compared to other wedding video vendors, she was on the more reasonable end of pricing. Susan was very incognito at the wedding and reception...I hardly knew she was there! Her video came out wonderfully! We were thrilled!

I absolutely loved working with Light Parade Films! A friend of mine used LPF for a wedding last year and I was impressed with Susan the day of my friends wedding, and was also really impressed with her wedding video. Susan was great to work with before the event and she made my experience very stress-free. She is professional, responsive and fun to be around! LPF was great the day of my wedding as well. They helped make the day perfect and were so fun to interact with doing interviews before the wedding. The wedding teaser was sent to me while I was nearing the end of my honeymoon, and it was such a pleasant surprise to receive it so quickly. The quality and content was fabulous, and I can't even count the number of times I have watched that. I have received so many compliments on it, and I will treasure it forever. I recently received the full wedding video, it is a little over an hour in length, and I couldn't be more pleased. The quality is great and the music choices in the background are on point with what I had envisioned. It is so special to have this video to relive the entire day and see it from a different perspective. I know I will treasure this video forever! I am so pleased with my experience with LPF and would absolutely recommend them to anyone and everyone. Thank you, LPF, for letting me relive the best day of my life whenever I chose to and making my experience so enjoyable :)

Susan and her assistant are top notch! They did a WONDERFUL job capturing our day. While the video seems like an eternity to get back (really it's not that long but just seems like it because you're so excited to get the full video after seeing the teaser) it is SO worth every minute of waiting and every penny spent. They are extremely friendly, and I wouldn't take back anything! I have already referred two more family members to Light Parade Films and they are using them for their weddings- very professional. All around AWESOME!

There's a certain something about the quality of the video that Light Parade Films provides that really captures everything you're looking for. It really pulls you back into the day and can get very emotional. Lots of feelings of happiness!

If you are debating on whether or not to get a videographer, or whether or not the expense is worth it, let me tell you, IT IS WORTH IT!!! After your wedding day is over, you really only have pictures and video to replay the day. The video ties everything in. My husband and I plan to watch the video as tradition every anniversary. Our families have really enjoyed re-living the day with us too.

Light Parade Films went above and beyond to capture our wedding day memories :)

Stop your search for a videographer and call to see if Susan is available on your date! About a month or two before our wedding, my husband and I somewhat impulsively decided we did want a videographer. We reached out to Susan at Light Parade Films and luckily she was available on our day. She was the best last minute addition to our wedding that any bride could hope to find.

I could tell when first meeting Susan that she was organized, motivated, and sincerely interested in being a part of our wedding. She took into consideration what we wanted our wedding video to highlight and she also asked about our favorite music. When it came time for our rehearsal and wedding, Susan was an extremely reliable and dedicated videographer. She went above and beyond by volunteering to set up our ceremony sound system during our rehearsal. Susan spent the wedding day capturing all of the essential, romantic, sentimental, and exciting aspects of our ceremony and reception.

A few days after the wedding, I realized how thankful I was to know that everything about my favorite day ever was recorded. You want to relive all of it. It is priceless to be able to listen to your husband says his vows or your sister toast your marriage any time you play a DVD.

The sound and overall quality of our video is top notch. The content and length of the video is perfectly edited. Susan did an excellent job telling not only the story of our wedding, but also our relationship. There is a menu on our video that allows us to skip to family interviews, toasts, or the ceremony. Our DVD cover even matched our wedding colors. Overall, I loved the personal details Susan included in her services. I highly recommend her to any bride and groom looking for a trustworthy and talented videographer.

We were married July of 2014 at Cooper Creek Event Center.

I can't say enough about what an amazing choice it was to have Susan film our wedding day. 5/5 stars just doesn't cut it, she deserves more. Zack and I booked the 8-10 hour package and it was just right. Susan and Rick captured every moment of our day perfectly. We had our highlight reel the night we returned from our honeymoon and the full video was hand delivered in creative packaging 3 months later. I know that sounds like a long time, but it was worth the wait. Susan's creative editing was the perfect combination of modern film making and classic videography. We still had our entire ceremony, but filmed and flawlessly edited from multiple angles. It was like watching a movie at the theater, not just your uncle filming your wedding on a tripod. The creative touch she put on the "getting ready" portion of the film included voice over interviews of the two of us and our grandmothers. The music choices fit our relationship and style nicely. She actually captured our day better than the photographer did. I can't wait to show this to our family and some day our children. This is a forever keepsake that should not be skipped on your wedding day. Thank you for the memories Susan!
