Amazing team, amazing work!

Wow!! How do I capture all the creative genius, professionalism, and genuine human kindness of Terrence and Suzi into a few sentences?! My husband and I decided on videographer for our wedding day a bit late in the game. We flipped through a lot of videographers’ works, but nothing quite spoke to us like Lighten Films' work—each film told a unique and personable story, were etched together in a polished yet natural fashion, and almost effortlessly captured the rawness and beauty of the day’s emotions. From the moment we first contacted Terrence to our wedding day and the post “day of” communications, we were struck by Terrence’s responsiveness, professionalism, creativity, kindness, and authenticity. Terrence worked with us to curate a truly personalized and seamless videography experience. And, without a doubt, he and Suzi were absolutely some the best additions to our wedding day—they brought comfort, ease, adaptability, and just overall warmth! Weddings can be stressful, and we are truly grateful to our vendors like Lighten Films who made the day utterly beautiful and seamless while also capturing the day for us to be able to relive over and over again.

Amazing video!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Lighten Films! Terrence and his wife Suzi helped capture all the details of my daughters wedding. The day goes by so fast that there are so many things you don't get to see or you forget. Terrence helps create lasting memories that you get to watch over and over again. When we received our USB and watched our video for the first time, we were in awe of how professional and amazing it was. If you are hesitating on hiring a Lighten Films DON"T it will be the best decision you make!

Best video ever!!!!

When we booked our wedding venue we first made sure lighten films had our date available because they were our MUST HAVE vendor. Even being an out of state wedding we knew we wanted them to film our special day! Terrence and Suzi have filmed so many of our friends weddings and have made the most incredible videos. We are so thankful for our beautiful video to cherish forever and we watch it every year on our wedding anniversary! Wedding photos are nice to have but having a video let’s us feel like we can relive that day we never want to forget! Thank you again so much for everything!

I am so grateful that I hired Terrence to capture our wedding! He did a phenomenal job! To be honest, I did not consider hiring a videographer for our wedding as a necessity, but after viewing the videos that Terrence captured for us, I am so thankful that I did. It was completely necessary and knowing what I do now, I would have regretted not hiring Terrence for the rest of my life. Our wedding went by so fast, but we have a beautiful summary video, raw footage, a toast video, and a ceremony video that lets me relive the best day of my life forever. I am so impressed with how well Terrence was able to film all the aspects of our wedding. We had a wide variety of footage, which is all beautiful, steady, and clear. This was extremely hard to do since we were moving around so much and Terrence was having to man two cameras at once. Terrence did an exceptional job of creating a summary video that really fit our personalities as well as the mood that we wanted to convey. He really listens to you and gives you exactly what you want. Not only was his work product so great, but I also felt that interacting with Terrence at our wedding made my wedding experience even better. He has a friendly, bubbly personality that is infectious. I felt like he was one of my friends, and I really enjoyed talking to him throughout the day. We laughed a lot.I really appreciated that Terrence worked with my needs and my budget. In summary, you need to hire Terrence! I am so lucky that I did.

I was kinda nervous that videography was going to be one of my most expensive vendors. That shouldn't be a surprise to anyone in the midst of wedding planning. But HOLY COW was it worth every penny! When we got our videos back we were brought to tears. I am so thankful we have a short film to watch for every anniversary to come. They are masters at what they do. Trust them and their final product. Bonus that everyone at Lighten Films is also amazing. They laugh at my corny jokes and I heard they even helped my husband tie his own bow tie!

So very pleased with the work of Lighten Films! Our wedding day videographer, Steven, was incredibly friendly and captured so many great moments, including our choreographed first dance that we practiced for weeks! We were so happy to have this all on film, and Steven made us look great! Correspondence regarding the film packages went primarily through Terrence, who was always quick to get back to us and answer any questions we had. I enjoyed working with both of them, and I so much enjoyed the end result! Our 5-minute Highlight Reel looks just like a movie trailer, with exceptional footage and great editing. Our friends and family are loving it too! We actually found Lighten Films through my sister-in-law, who used their talents for her wedding video as well. I still cry when I watch. Thank you Terrence and Steven!

I highly recommend Lighten Films. I'm so grateful we found them! We originally didn't budget for a videographer and the closer it got, I realized it was so important. In a few days we'll be celebrating our 2 year wedding anniversary and I can still say this was one of the best investments we made for the wedding. We are able to watch the video and be brought right back to the moment, the emotions, the love..it's everything! They did such an amazing job capturing our day and I couldn't thank them enough.

We spent a lot of time looking for the right videographer for us and we are SO happy we went with Lighten Films. We were looking for someone that specifically does Same-Day-Edits (SDE) with a style that blends the ceremony, the reception, the speeches, and some music. While Lighten Films can do SDEs, we ended up not being able to have it done because of our selected venue. Since we weren't able to have an SDE, we talked extensively about our other options. Suzi and Terrence (wife and husband of Lighten Films) were so patient, understanding, and very accommodating! We ended up getting the following services:

- a "Love Story" explaining how we met as a couple and where we went from there
- a 5-min "Highlight Reel" showcasing key points of our ceremony and reception with some beauty shots
- a complete coverage of the ceremony and toasts
- the above videos on a DVD

In our Love Story, we did a lot of kissing shots, which we would have preferred having less kissing since our general audience for the video is more conservative. We didn't realize it until after we watched the video... we didn't do our part of really thinking about the shots. Terrence, like any videographer would, was making some suggestions and we were thinking "sure, why not kiss?" (being all lovey-dovey and all before the wedding). If we can redo anything, we would just think about what creative shots/faces/poses we can do that only we would think about, that is unique to us as a couple. Other than that, we loved loved loved everything about the experience and the video!

On the day of the wedding, we were concern about audio during he speeches. The venue we chose did not allow for an AV equipment so a family-friend brought a little karaoke speaker and a wireless microphone to go with it. It was hard to hear the speeches even though they were shouting in the mic. We were sooo happy to hear the video's audio clear and just fine!! :)

We are ever so grateful. Thank you Lighten Films!!!

Terrence and his team did an absolute spot on job capturing the complete perfection of our wedding day. Planning my wedding for over a year, we got a could about 90 days out that the venue would no longer be able to host our wedding, we went back and forth with them and litigation and frankly didn't know if it was going to happen. We got the green light last minute and I call Terrence and he just happened to have our date free. He helped us feel more comfortable that we had excellent vendors to be there with us on the day. The product is amazing and is something I can't wait to show our kids and we watch it all the time ??

I cannot say enough good things about Terrence and Suzi! Our wedding cinematography is off the charts and every single person comments on the quality, the story telling , the editing the music and everything about our video overall. Makes us cry tears of joy every time! Terrence has the most amazing eye and talent. We are honored and grateful to have him film the most important last of our lives. Not only are they amazing as professionals but they are an incredible couple and family! I'd be remissed if I didn't say that we are still friends with their family. Lighten Films is more than a vendor, they are a feeling and like family.

Terrence and Lighten Films are the best! Their high end equipment captured our day in brilliant HD video and sound. We maxed our budget out so we only booked them to shoot day of video, and my husband surprised me with a spectacular highlight video Lighten Films put together for our one year anniversary . You can definitely tell that Terrence and Lighten Films are well respected in the Las Vegas wedding scene. I would recommend Lighten Films based on the fact they put out awesome work, show up on time, and deliver what they promise on schedule.

Thanks again!

Savannah & Shane

Our video is so wonderful! We watch it all the time and I love showing it to friends and family. Everyone always comments on how amazing the quality of work is. I am so happy that I went with Lighten Films it was one of the best decisions I made regarding the wedding! Thank you Terrance!!!!

I chose Lighten Films because I loved how their videos are like music videos. But starring you! I can't tell you how many times I've watched our wedding video (5 min highlight reel) because its so amazing. We chose our own song but they can pick one for you. They always get back to you when you email them, they were on time, they were polite, quiet, and they did their job. The only thing I wish I had done was just hire them instead of a photographer as well. The photographers were young and unprofessional. I had to give them direction when I shouldn't on my own wedding day. Just watch their videos to get an idea of how good yours will turn out. There is no way you'll be unhappy with them. I hope to use them again someday for something.

I was on the fence the entire wedding planning process, but last minute I decided to book a book a videographer. Booking Lighten Films was best decision I made and my favorite part of my wedding. Terrence and Suzi did an amazing job capturing every aspect of our wedding. When I first saw our highlight reel I cried tears of joy for how absolutely perfect it turned out. Terrence and Suzi, Mitch and I are beyond thankful for you capturing our wedding day. You did an amazing job and I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking to have videography at their special event. They really exceeded my expectations, tenfold. Thanks again, Terrence and Suzi!

This review is long overdue. Its been a year since I was married and had the pleasure of working with Terrence at Lighten Films, but I wanted to make sure that he received recognition for the awesome work that he did for us. Terrence made the process easy and stress free on a day that was supposed to be filled with worry. I exchanged a few emails and phone calls with him before the big day to discuss the overall feel I wanted for our wedding video and with just that info, he executed superbly. On the day of the wedding, he was punctual, professional, and friendly. I actually forgot that him and his team were even there because they were so discreet. They never once got in the way, but made sure that they caught all of the most important moments on film. The best part was the final edited video. It wasn't stiff, didn't come off looking like a slide show, and it was a perfectly edited video production that told a special story. The final touch was the personal thought that came with the video delivery (i'll leave the details to be a surprise if you hire Terrence). All in all, I would wholeheartedly recommend Terrence and his team at Lighten Films if you're looking for a professional, high quality videographer that will capture some of the most important moments of your life with the detail that they deserve.

I was hesitant to spend a chunk of our wedding budget on videography but I am so glad I did! Terrence and his team captured the day perfectly and the video is the most magical thing I've ever seen. I can't get enough of it! Lighten Films is professional, and it's like they're not even there, yet they caught every moment. Go for the video!!

lighten films not only did a wonderful job on our wedding video, they became like one of the family. When our video was finished, Terrence drove to our home and hand delivered it to us along with a gift box. My wife and I could hardly wait to watch it. The first 5 seconds of the movie already had us crying. This wasn't just a wedding video. It felt like a TLC special of the top ten best weddings in the world, and ours was #1. The entire video from beginning to end was amazing. The details from big to small all were so beautiful. It is if they new us our whole life. Most people say that they don't need a wedding video because they will never watch it. Well, my wife and I have probably watch ours 10 times already not to mention our entire family watching it. All of our friends have seen it and cried while watching. I have even had random people that I don't know come up to me saying that they watched our video with our friends and cried their eyes out. I hope everyone that gets married has the privilege of working with these film artists. I love you lighten family and thank you for making our special day the best day of our life over and over again.

We're are so glad that we decided to have a videographer at our wedding and a really great one at that! I feel that it is absolutely worth it to capture all the special moments in the wedding that we would have not otherwise seen.

Terrence and Steven were wonderful videographers!!! They were very nice, pleasant and listened to everything we wanted in the wedding. They captured everything in the wedding as it happened. Terrence was always prompt to answer my emails, any questions that we had and was very generous with his time.

We ordered the highlight reel (5 minute video) that includes all the extra footage. The reel is beautiful and brought a tear to both of our eyes. We love it and all our family and friends love it! The extra footage is just as wonderful. It's amazing how much of the ceremony and the toasts we forgot, but it's great that we can see it again with such high quality.

They both did an absolutely amazing and wonderful job! We recommend them 100%!

So, we haven't even received our wedding video yet, but we already know it's going to be amazing! We did a "Love Story" prior to our wedding to be shown at our reception and our guests are still talking about it to this day.

Terrence is so talented! We are so lucky to have had him and his wife Suzi film our wedding day. We are looking forward to seeing what his final product looks like.

Terrence and Suzi are very organized and know what they want without taking away from your Day Of Timeline. They are very respectful of your time and make you extremely comfortable to capture those genuine moments of the day.

When we were looking for our videographer, Terrence's videos on his website were so addicting. Even my husband watched all of them. We look forward to all of his posts... he's that good! We cannot stop raving about his work--even with just this Love Story he did for us. Our family can't stop raving about that video either. If you're looking for someone to turn your wedding video into a movie that you can watch over and over again, Lighten films is for you! All of his upgrades are totally worth it, as well!

Hiring Lighten Films was hands down the best decision I made regarding my wedding day. I don’t know how Terrence and his team did it, but they captured our personalities perfectly in our film. Trust me, your wedding day goes by in a flash so it was wonderful to be able to have every speech, dance and special moment captured on film. I love the fact that I will someday be able to show it to our children and that every year on our anniversary, we can have watch it and tear up all over again.

My husband and I met with a few other videographers and as soon as Terrence showed us one of his films, it was a done deal. He really does amazing work. At first I was concerned that I wouldn’t feel comfortable with a film crew following me around, but trust me, you don’t even notice they are there. And it was definitely worth every penny because what they gave us, in my opinion, is priceless.

If there’s one piece of advice I can give to anyone planning a wedding, it would be to hire Lighten Films. You will not regret it…you have my word! Pictures are great and all, but my husband and I couldn’t have given ourselves a better gift than to be able to watch and re-live our special day over and over for the rest of our lives.

Terrence and Suzi Lighten & Lighten Films....where do we start with how incredible and amazing you made our special day. We have watched our concept film and wedding video over and over, many times with people that weren't fortunate enough to be at the event, and they are always amazed at what an amazing piece of videography was produced. We are so lucky to have chosen Lighten Films to capture our day and preserve it forever of film.

If anyone is looking for an incredibly professional, reasonably priced, Hollywood calibre videographer, I would HIGHLY recommend Terrence Lighten and Lighten Films.

Best thing that we decided to purchase for our wedding! Our video turned out wonderful! I would highly recommend getting the trailor, my husband and I watch ours just about everyday. Another positive thing is that Terrence and his crew were never in the way but captured all those special moments! :)

Booking Lighten Films for my wedding day was the BEST decision I made! Not only because of how great they were at capturing every little detail of my wedding day, but because of how happy they made my wife.
She let me choose the videography vendor because she was all about the photography; thinking that the pictures of our wedding would be enough... When she saw the Wedding Film, she cried tears of joy and said I made a great choice, me, by choosing Lighten Films. YES!!!

LIGHTEN FILMS YOU ROCK!!!

Lighten Films did a fabulous job of capturing our prized moments and some funny ones that I never saw. Thank you so much Lighten Films for being the VERY BEST AT WHAT YOU DO AND LOVE; CINEMATOGRAPHY!! I recommend you to the world! You are truly amazing!!

BOOK LIGHTEN FILMS CINEMATOGRAPHY FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY!!!
YOU DESERVE THE VEST BEST ON YOUR DAY AND LIGHTEN FILMS IS THAT AND MORE!!!

I had the pleasure of hiring the Lighten Films Cinematography Company as my videographers for my wedding day and boy was Lighten Films beyond AMAZING!!! I LOVE how they captured my wedding day so beautifully and I LOVE my custom-cover Wedding Film!!

I wasnt sure about having a destination wedding in Las Vegas, but after I saw Lighten Films' website and their films, they were the FIRST wedding vendor that I contacted and booked... Even before I had a venue! Not only did The Lighten Films Crew film my wedding, but they also helped me out with finding other vendors and creating my timeline for my wedding day; which helped lessen my search worries and my wedding day stress levels.

I am truly thankful and appreciative of how wonderful the Lighten Films Crew treated me, my family, and my wedding day. The Crew is so personable, so warm, so creative, and so welcoming. They make you feel like family and not like just some client. If I ever were to renew my vows, the Lighten Films Crew will be the very FIRST vendor that I, without a doubt, will book for it! Hands down, Lighten Films is THE BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY COMPANY EVER!!! And when you book Lighten Films for your special day, you will be so glad that you did. It's the best decision you'll ever make!!!

Lighten Films is far the most superior videography corporation within the Las Vegas wedding industry!!

We interviewed the majority of videographers twelve months in advance of our wedding and believe it or not, we are still waiting for one to respond (Our wedding was 6.16.12) ! Lighten Films worked extremely superb with the rest of our vendors and their coordination and professionalism speaks for itself.

We know first hand that planning a wedding is extremely time consuming and trying to obtain excellence for your special day with unknown vendors within this particular field is very difficult. We can ensure you that if you choose Lighten Films you will experience nothing short of a phenomenal experience! They are the best, SECOND TO NONE!!

Do yourself a favor and have Lighten Films document your wedding.

The highlight film created for us is absolutely amazing. Terrence and his team captured us and our day perfectly. Even better, they were totally unobtrusive while doing so. I practically forgot they were there on the wedding day, but they somehow managed to capture every single detail!

I know that videography can seem like an easy thing to cut out of the budget, but we will treasure this video forever, and I can't imagine not having it. Terrence caught all our little expressions and moments in ways that photography just cannot, and edited them into something that is totally awesome. Terrence and Lighten Films are professional and true artists.

Lighten Films created the most precious keepsake from our wedding day. Not only was Terrence and his team completely professional, they captured every detail of our wedding without being so obvious. They were not in our faces during our event, yet they captured so many unforgettable moments. We were filled with such happiness and thrilled that Lighten Films was there for our most special day. Terrence created a video that told our story of Family, Love, and God in such a beautiful way! Our wedding video is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives, and we are so grateful to Terrence and his team for creating something that we will be able to share with our family and friends!

We HIGHLY recommend Lighted Films to anyone who wishes to capture their special event on film. You won't regret it!!!!

If you are searching for a videographer for your wedding and have come across Lighten Films, then look no further! Terrence was fabulous to work with and we are in love with our wedding video!

You can rest assured on your wedding day that he won't miss a thing and the investment is truly worth it. Terrence, thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of our big day, and for allowing us to relive our wedding day over and over, it's truly priceless.

Lighten Films gave us our dream wedding video! At first, my husband was not convinced on spending the extra money on a videographer over a photographer, but after seeing the final result, he is so happy that we went with Lighten Films. I knew that the investment would be worth it and it definately was. I have my own personal cinema-style video of the most wonderful day of my life. The quality of the cinematography was only surpassed by the creative editing of over 14 hours of video (7 hours x 2 videographers) down to a more manageable 18 minutes of interesting video, because as much as you other brides and I may want to watch all 14 hours over and over again, our friends and family have other things to do. Of course, I highly reccomend purchasing the external hard drive so that you can have all of your raw footage.

It was great to work with both Terrence and Suzi. They not only gave us a wonderful video, they made our wedding day extra special by being part of it. They are a really fun couple and I'm glad to have met them. Thanks again guys!

Much love,

Heather & Rob B.

We first saw Lighten Films work during the Bridal Show back in February 2011. Since then, we would often check Lighten Films website to look at his work. We have inquired to a couple of other vendors, but it wasn't hard to make a decision that Lighten Films will be filming our Wedding Day! The first time we met with Terrence, we booked right there and then. Again, we went with our instinct and impression...same way we booked our florist and our venue. The service he provided us on our Wedding Day was top notch! I will definitely recommend him to everyone I can...His service is something that definitely will make you want to hire him again...Lighten Films provides excellent customer service!

Pure unadulterated brilliance. The team at Lighten Films are a breath of fresh air when it comes to wedding videography.

Their Hollywood quality HD footage simply took our breath away... and they were just too much fun on the day! We had a blast!

We would recommend them to anyone looking for the BEST possible videography for their most treasured moments. Worth every single cent!!!

At first, we were reluctant on getting a videographer. We were not sure if we really needed a wedding video or not. Would we even watch it? After talking to the people we knew who got married, the ones that did not get a videographer were upset that they did not. So, we decided to look for one. Our amazing photographer, Tyler Freear, recommend Lighten Films to us. After looking at their website, we were sold! Terrence and his talented team were amazing! They were very professional! Our wedding video was amazing, more than we hoped for!!! They captured our wedding so beautifully, every moment, even moments we would not seen! We will be watching our wedding video every year on our anniversary! I would not recommend anyone else for videography but Terrence.

We knew we wanted to book Terrence from the first time we met him! We knew that he would be able to capture our Love Story and Wedding and turn it into a cinematic masterpiece! Terrence and Suzi are two of the kindest, genuine and most professional people we have ever met and definitely the best at what they do! We would say that Lighten Films was the best investment we made during our wedding planning and we can't wait to see our finished product!!

Terrence and his team were amazing to work with. They are truly innovative and the best in the industry! It was one of the best wedding decisions to spend a good amount of our budget to invest in Lighten Films. Our wedding trailer and our full wedding video was of superior quality and highlighted every special moment of our perfect day! It looked like an actual movie! We watch our video every so often and it still makes us cry. Many of our family, friends, vendors, and even friends of friends comment on how beautiful the wedding video turned out.

They are not only great as vendors, but they have become a part of our lives as friends. Terrence and his team are wonderful and genuine people. You won't regret picking them as your vendor!

Wow. There are no words to appropriately express our gratitude. Terrence and Suzi of Lighten Films gave us the most cherished keepsake we'll probably ever own. They captured every detail of our wedding, from the first look and dance to the full moon and cake knife engraving. It's simply amazing how they honed in on every special moment and arranged it in such a meaningful way.

Beyond great videographers, Terrence and Suzi are truly kind-hearted, personable people. They treat you like individuals rather than just another couple. This was important to us, because we wanted to work with vendors that would give off a good aura on our wedding day. Every time I saw Terrence, he was smiling behind the camera.

I have to say that videography was probably the best investment of our entire wedding. The day goes by so fast and there's no way you can remember it all without video. We are so grateful! LIGHTEN FILMS IS THE BEST VIDEOGRAPHER COMPANY EVER!!!! You can see our video here ;o) http://vimeo.com/31380737
Thanks again, Terrence and Suzi of Lighten Films! You'll be getting another phone call from us when we renew our vows one day ;o)

Wow! Terrence and his crew are incredible! I had a destination wedding in Las Vegas and had to do all of my planning via emails. Fortunately, I decided to go with Terrence as my videographer and I am thrilled that I did. He is such an easy going friendly guy. He is a dream to work with, as is his lovely wife. I honestly didn't even notice the crew filming the day of my wedding and yet they captured every moment.
I just received the final video and it is gorgeous. He edited it beautifully. It honeslty looks like a hollywood production.
Thank you so much Terrence!

SO worth every penny and the wait. Terrence is so easy to work with and an extremely pleasant person, not to mention an amazing videographer. We were on the fence the entire time of the wedding planning process because it was not within our original budget however after viewing all his work it was a no brainer. Terrence did an amazing job on our same day edit, every time our friends watch the trailer on Facebook they cry! We would hire Terrence again and cannot wait to work with him again!

I cannot thank Terrance enough for the services he has provided for my family and I. I am so glad I decided to have Terrance film our wedding. He did a wonderful job. Not only does Lighten Films provide great service, but this company really does care. I cannot thank Terrance enough for the memories I have because of him. My father passed away suddenly a couple months after my wedding and without this video I wouldn't be able to see my father dance or hear his voice. What a memory! :) Terrance and his family sent a card to me regarding my fathers passing. What can I say. These people are so caring and kind. I cannot express my feelings enough regarding this company, but I can tell you one thing ... you will not regret hiring Lighten films for your special day. You will not go wrong with this company. Thank you Lighten Films for a memory I will cherish forever.

Very, very pleasant people to work with. The videography category is an understatement because they are considered cinematographers due to the talent and work that they put into making our memories come to life. We loved how they respect our own style and this is reflected upon the videos that they made for us. It is even more incredible that they understand that not every couple can pay for great cinematography like this, and they worked with us to make it happen. Definitely worth every penny!

I believe that Lighten Films is the best videographer in Las Vegas. Terrence and the whole crew are all very talented and are wonderful to work with! It is important for a bride and groom to feel important and be comfortable with their vendors and Terrence made us feel just that! Having our wedding filmed by such talent is one of the best choices we've made!

May 2011: Choosing vendors for our destination wedding in Las Vegas might have made us nervous for a second or two, we were luckily enough to have them referred to us by our photographer, Tyler Freear. He knew from experience that they were top notch and he was excited at the prospect of working with them again. He was 100% right! Once we met with Suzi & Terrence from Lighten Films, we realized we were in good hands. We immediately knew that we made the right choice. Terrence, Suzi, and Stephen were so accomodating, so pleasant, and so easy to work with. They really were a class act. They worked well with eachother, with our other vendors and most importantly with us. They were so creative and captured some amazing footage of our wedding. We could not have been happier with the services they performed for us. We absolutely can not wait to see the finished product, but we are 100% confident that it will be utterly amazing! They are all so very talented, as you can see in the hightlights shown on their website. If you're looking for the perfect cinematographer to capture the most memorable day in your life, you can stop looking now, Lighten Films is exactly who every bride and groom needs by their side on their big day!

May 2012: As we approach our one year anniversary, we can't wait to pop in our amazing wedding video and relive the greatest day of our lives. Our friends & family were shocked with how quickly we received our video in comparison to the many, many months (and sometimes years!) they had to wait for their own. Throughout the entire process, from contract to final delivery, Terrence and Suzi were patient, thoughtful, good natured, extremely professional and super funny! We honestly could not have been any happier that we chose them for our wedding and would recommend them to anyone who is looking to work with THE BEST!

I got my wedding video from Terrence last night and loved it! He captured so many of the little details that you forget about. His attention to you and this being your day shines bright through his work.

We are from Chicago and were married in Vegas and had the hardest time finding a videographer that had what we were looking for. Honestly before finding Terrence we had booked another popular photographer and videographer but once we met with them while on one of our planning trips we were annoyed with how pushy and demanding they were. We left Vegas unsure of ourselves. Once home, I started my search again and found Terrence, after a few minutes of looking at his website and I knew I needed to have him. I got off the phone with him and knew my search was over. Terrence is kind and detailed and in no way pushy or annoying like other vendors we looked into. He gave me new ideas and on the day of the wedding was very comfortable to be around. I even followed him in a room to hide out for a few minutes and take a break.

Overall we could not have been more pleased with Terrence and his crew at our wedding. They were organized, professional and fun. Getting to know Terrence in the months before the wedding we learned he was a dedicated husband and father to a beautiful family...let me just say that he is also dedicated to his work in a way that left me in awe. Our video is something we will cherish and watch over and over for the rest of our lives. Thank you Terrence!

To even begin by saying that Terrence is awesome would be an understatement. We know from the first moment seeing his work that he was right for us. My wife and I were looking for someone to tell the story of our wedding. We did not want someone who would just plug some video clips into a template add some flying doves and cheesy wedding music and call it a day. Terrence definitely personalizes his videos to highlight the bride and groom. My wife and I are a little eccentric, and he captured our day perfectly. Our wedding was fun and exciting and he captured that perfectly. Besides just setting the perfect tone, Terrence incorporated all of our musical choices perfectly. Our music is pretty far from mainstream, so for Terrence to have been able to integrate Phish, Leo Kottke, and Talking Heads in a coherent way was is amazing, especially if you know these bands. Lastly, the look of the video is unbelievable. The colors, the sound, the lighting, the camera movement, and pacing are all spot on. When Terrence calls himself a cinematographer, it's not because he's trying to be pretentious. He really is an artist and his work shows off his incredible talents. If you want the standard doves and wedding bells, Terrence may not be for you. If you want someone to capture the uniqueness of your wedding and to tell your story as if it were a feature film, there is no reason to even keep looking, BOOK HIM NOW!

Terrence Lighten delivers the quality and service that you hope for and I couldn't be happier that we went with him for our wedding day video.

Terrence Lighten of Lighten films.... all I can say is WOW. I searched high and low for a cinemtographer of his caliber in California, but I couldn't find anyone with the same talent, eye for detail, personality, and value. This is why we choose him. He came down from Las Vegas to film our wedding and I feel so fortunate that I was able to snag him for our wedding day.

Terrence is not only an amazing cinematographer, he is an amazing person and family man. He sees the beauty in everything and in every couple. Look at his blog and see for yourself. If a 4-5 minute wedding trailer can bring me to tears... sheesh I can't imagine what our full length wedding video will be like. He truly capture the magic of our day. His work is such an amazing way to re-live the best day of our lives. Everyone that saw it commented on how our wedding the best wedding trailer they have ever seen. Then they started to look at other trailers that he did and see how consistent he is in catching the essence of the couple and feel of the wedding.

Terrence is incredible big hearted AND professional. You will not be disappointed with Terrence. He is truly a cinematographer and a cut above the typical wedding shooter.

Terrence and Suzi at Lighten Films were AMAZING! I am so happy we chose to go with them over other companies in Vegas. They are both personable and really understand the needs of their clients. They were on time, professional and very nice. They did a fantastic job at our wedding and reception!! I would defiently recommend them to any and everybody getting married. Thanks guys.....YOU ARE THE BEST!

Love,
Lindsey & jeff

We were not originally planning to have a videographer, but my fiance's father was very ill and was unable to attend the wedding. We wanted someone who could capture the spirit and beauty of the day so that he could be a part of it from far away. Terrence and Suzi were really incredible to work with and really care about producing a quality product. Unlike some other vendors, they make you feel like you are their most important client! This is EASILY the best wedding video I have ever seen (and not just because I was in it :-).

Throughout most of our wedding planning, I wasn't sure if we were going to book a videographer or not. After reading so many comments from other brides on how grateful they are that they did or beyond regretful that they didn't, we decided to do it. Thankfully, too! We booked Lighten Films a few months before our April wedding and loved Terrence from day one. He "got us" and our desire to have a fun day and have a great video. He did not disappoint!! Our "Coming Attraction Trailer" blew me away, it is beyond amazing. Terrence captured the moments from the day and when I watched our trailer; I laughed and cried just as if the wedding day was happening again.

After the wedding, I remember telling our photographer that I barely remember seeing Terrence or his crew and was told that is a sign of a great videographer-- you know they are there, but they aren't in your face. And I believe that is the only way to truly capture the emotion and happiness of your wedding day.

I highly recommend a video because your wedding day is a blur and you forget so many things just because you are on emotional overload and such an excitement high. I could not say enough fabulous things about the talent, the creativity and the ease of working with Lighten Films. Terrence is so professional and wants to make sure that everything is just right for each and every wedding. There isn't anyone else who could have captured the day like Terrence did.

Your wedding day is the most special day of your life and to have it captured by Lighten Films your guaranteed an amazing video!!

Lighten Films delivers high quality cinematography with beautiful, personal touches. They far exceeded my expectations in every category. I will forever be grateful to Lighten Films for capturing our wedding day in such beautiful form. What's more, our guests, family, and bridal party loved the work of Lighten Films equally as much as we did :)

Lighten Films did a wonderful job on our wedding. We were not planning to spend so much on video, but it was so worth it! They have excellent value. They did not intrude on our day in anyway and yet still got amazing shots. Use Lighten Films and you will not be disappointed!

Lighten Films were/are the most perfect people to work with for our wedding! My husband and I were referred to Lighten Films by a friend who had used the company for their wedding and we had heard nothing but wonderful things about them. When we met with them, we knew instantly that we wanted them to capture our special day! They are down to earth, funny, compassionate, and easy going individuals. They kept in contact with us throughout our wedding planning process, asked us what we wanted while offering their own suggestions, even came to our rehearsal to meet our family and become familiar with them, and delivered the most wonderful video from our wedding. We couldn't have asked for better people to work with. They made this part of our wedding so easy! We got nothing but the best from them!! Whenever we get the chance, we show off our wedding video (that Terrence spent so much time editing)! We are so lucky to have found them!! You see, when you hire Lighten Films, you not only get the best of videography, but they become apart of your family!!! A big thank you to Suzi and Terrence! We love you both!

Lighten Films made our day so much easier! Their services were professional, yet fun. Our video constantly draws attention and praise. Many of my married friends have said they wish they would have used Lighten Films as well. The day goes by so fast, but the video is there for a lifetime...an heirloom.

I was very happy with the service and professionalism received! Terrence and Suzi were both wonderful and so easy to work with. I didn't have to babysit them, they were professionals and knew what to do. My wedding video turned out great and they captured all the cute and funny moments ( I watch it all the time!). I would recommend Lighten Films to anyone and everyone! 5 star service.

Lighten Films is the best decision we made during our wedding planning. They took the time to meet with us and took note of the shots we couldn't live without. They were extremely professional and made us feel like we were the only couple they were working with. It was a great experience to work with them and I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants their memories to last forever.

We would highly recommend Lighten Films, extremely professional yet very warm as well which made us feel very comfortable on our special day. I would have liked to see a little more of our closest family and friends during certain points of filming but surely had we mentioned this ahead of time I have no doubt that any special request would have been fulfilled. Overall wonderful.

We were so impressed with Terrence as a cinematographer! He is so easy to get along with and treats you like a friend! His work is unbelievable and beautiful! Our wedding video is far beyond our expectations as far as creativity and technology are concerned! If we could do it all over again, we would absolutely have Terrence do another video for us! We hope to work with him many more times in our future! Thank you, Terrence!

Lighten films did an awesome job with our Wedding videography. Terrence has such a passion for his work and it really shows in the final product! They were a great team and words can't explain how happy we are that we were lucky enough to have them capture our big day. They are extremely professional and the most friendliest people you could ever meet. They always took the initiative to get things rolling and I never had to follow up with them about anything which, as a busy stressed out bride, was a heaven sent. Definitely the best Vendors from our Wedding, and well worth the money. Good genuine people that really made it a pleasurable and stress-free experience overall.

I used Lighten Films to make a "10 minute highlight reel" of my wedding last September. Terrence worked with me from day one to create a package that worked for my situation. While their prices seem steep, let me tell you, from someone who wasn't 100% sure we "needed" a videographer, I am soooo glad I did it. The reel they created for my wedding is to die for. It actually makes the wedding look like it was more fun than it actually was! The voice overs, music, editing, etc of the reel are amazing. I can't wait to show this video to my future kids and family in years to come. It really makes you feel like you were there, without boring people through 6 hours of video. It captured the highlights and then some. The staff was extremely professional and friendly, and the great part was, I hardly even noticed they were there! Also, when I finally got the reel in the mail (there is a significant turn around time which they are up front about from the beginning) it comes in a beautiful, custom designed wood box with the hard drive inside, which is also custom printed with your wedding date and initial. If you are on the fence about getting a video/reel done for your wedding, I recommend doing it and even though it's costly, it will be worth it in the end, as long as you go with Lighten Films :)

The staff at Lighten Films hit the video OUT OF THE BALLPARK!!! From the very start, they were personable and took the time to truly understand the theme of our wedding and our preferences. It was very easy to communicate with them and we felt comfortable throughout the entire process. Their video truly is a priceless investment that will pay back year after year. They did such an amazing job capturing the essence of our wedding in just the short 20 minute video, that we have never even needed to watch the uncut version of the ceremony and speeches. They even sent our video with some surprises, but you'll have to wait until you get your video to see what they are! ;) Thank you staff at Lighten Films for a tremendously well done video!

As we are quickly approaching our 2 year anniversary, we sat down to watch our wedding video. And I must say, as wonderful as it is to have a beautiful album of photographs, such an amazing event cannot be captured in photos quite like it can be with video. The wedding day goes by SO extremely quickly, and there's so much going on around you, that there is no way you can possibly take it all in. The video gives you that chance!

Terrence and his crew are wonderful. They produce a video that is unlike any other you will find in the Las Vegas area. The attention to detail and the quality makes Lighten Films stand out above the rest.

My husband arranged for Terrence to film our engagement and we used him again for our wedding. I am SO happy that we have the video to watch, to relive the moments that made our day so special, and more importantly, to be able to HEAR the words spoken at both the ceremony and reception. What better way to reminisce?

ONE MILLION percent recommend Lighten Films!!!

Our wedding video is truly beautiful - I wouldn't change a moment of it. The way they cut the footage while capturing all of the important moments was really impressive. Plus, the music that they put to the video fit so perfectly. By self proclaimed 'not sappy type' friends, they told me the video brought tears to their eyes.

I love our video so much, I just may watch it again right now...
