    Perfect in every way

    We are so grateful and happy that we decided to hire Paul as our videographer for our wedding day. He was always responsive and helpful throughout and on the day of everyone mentioned how friendly and great he was with our guests! Paul's work is just on another level - he made us SUCH a wonderful wedding video and he caught all of the great moments on film so we can relive the entire wedding. I didn't even notice him and his assistant Liam film most of the stuff - they're like ninjas!! I really can't say enough good things about our wedding video - we love it SOOO much and our whole family and all of our guests raved about the video too. We are so grateful to Paul and if you're on the fence about hiring a videographer (like we were) - trust me you won't regret hiring Paul as your videographer. The best decision we made. THANK YOU PAUL!!!!

    Truly one of the best people we've worked with!

    We were on the fence about including videography for our wedding, and boy did we make the right choice to say yes. Paul and his team made the decision so incredibly worth it, we were blown away by his quality, professionalism and super glad to have worked with him to help us capture a moment of a lifetime.

    Absolutely Amazing!

    Paul was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding! He had great communication and was so professional at every step of the way! During the wedding day - in the best way possible - I didn’t even remember we were taking videos - it was so fun and such a seamless part of our day. The highlight reel we received was stunning and we watched it so much - was fun to have while we waited for our full video. The full wedding video exceeded our expectations - Paul and his team captured our day so beautifully and we are so grateful to have these videos to look back on for the rest of our lives. 1000% recommend!

    The best craftmenship! A lasting memory!

    We were unsure originally if videography would fit in our wedding budget. But my parents were insistent and made it work for us!! And I’m so glad we did! Paul, absolutely killed it! Our video has been watched by me over 200 times in less then 72 hours, and I think my mom even more. We are obsessed!! The craftsmanship was amazing, especially the transitions. Paul and his team were nothing but professional, working hand and hand with our photographers to ensure he got what he needed but we also got the photos we needed! He worked with us through the rain of tropical storm Ophelia, ensuring we got the perfect video! We are so obsessed!! Hire Paul, you won’t regret it!!

    Best decision

    Paul is unparalleled both professionally and personally. Choosing Paul was the best decision for our wedding night. Considering the unforeseen events that occurred, the final outcome was outstanding. He was very flexible in editing the video. Be sure to choose Paul for the most important day of your life.

    Genuine Experience

    We were actually asked our awesome photographer, Candace Howell, about the best videographers in the area and she recommend Paul to us and for that we are so grateful! From our first interactions with Paul through email, we could tell that he genuinely cares about his clients and is passionate about his work. He answered all of questions in a timely manner and gave us crystal clear guidance and direction on wedding day.

    Paul and his team were super friendly, had awesome energy, and genuinely made us feel super comfortable. We were able to see our sneak peak video right away and shortly after received the full thing. They captured everything we could ever hope for and we are incredibly grateful!

    Best wedding videographer!

    Paul and his team perfectly captured every emotion and moment while working seamlessly with our photographer and coordinator. He was kind and clear in his instructions during portraits and gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our day knowing we would have great footage to look back on. The final video product was amazing and has let us relive our favorite day over and over again. The cherry on top is having raw footage of first looks with parents, getting ready, and small moments throughout the day that will last a lifetime. He was open to working with our budget and putting together a package that was the best fit for us. We could not possibly recommend Paul any more highly!

    Highly recommend!

    From the start, Paul was responsive and detailed in preparing to capture our wedding day. His professionalism and expertise clearly shined through in his ability to capture every moment of the day while not once being obtrusive. He had the idea of taking sunset shots during the reception which turned out truly BREATHTAKING. He seemed to always be one step ahead, anticipating each moment to capture both timely and authentically. From the sneak peaks to the final video, we can't thank him enough for helping us to relive this most special day through a video that is simple while also showcasing the true highlights of the day!

    Paul and Liam did such an excellent job capturing our special day and non traditional moments!

    Paul and Liam did such an excellent job capturing our special day and non traditional moments! Thank you for giving us the best gift we can share together with family and friends for a lifetime, and for turning it around so quickly! If you are contemplating a videographer or not, make room for it in your budget, it was by far the best decision I made and Paul and Liam were such a delight to work with.

    I would get married again just to hire Paul again!

    I would literally hire Paul to follow me around and create a cinematic video of my life if I could. Hiring Paul for our wedding videographer was the best decision ever! We found Paul through our venue's website. They had posted a video of another wedding he filmed there and my husband and I got choked up watching a stranger's video because it was so beautifully done. We decided that's what we wanted for our video. Man, did he and his second shooter deliver. Paul and his second shooter were very professional the day of and working with Paul has been so great and easy. His turnaround time in getting our video to us was incredibly fast and it is absolutely perfect. We chose the 3-5 minute cinematic edit (which Paul cuts and edits himself) and for us it was the perfect length. He took the best parts of our day and elevated it x100. I have watched my wedding video like 200 times and every time I still cry happy ugly tears. Do yourself a favor and hire Paul Kwak!

    Paul Kwak Films - Simply Stellar - Exceeded All Expectations!

    When I first came upon Paul's website and watched his sample films, it was immediately apparent that his work was a cut above all the other videographers I'd researched. He has this ability to capture what is unique about your love story and present it in the most breathtaking fashion. He is a joy to work with, and that we received our highlight film only a month after our daughter's wedding is a testament to his professionalism. Hire him -- you will be so glad you did!

    Absolutely stellar

    Paul and his team were nothing short of incredible. They were incredibly responsive, made everyone feel so comfortable and the final result is just spectacular! The turnaround time for the full video suite was ~3 weeks and the artistry of the highlights and the editing was far beyond my expectations. I would hire Paul again and again!

    Phenomenal, Outstanding, Amazing Videographer

    From the moment I stumbled across Paul’s wedding videos, I knew in my soul that we had to have him capture our special day. I was moved to tears watching his videos and felt like a guest as I could truly feel the unique emotion of each couple’s wedding day. Paul responds quickly and communicates effectively. When our wedding day rolled around, Paul and his second shooter, Sam, were a wonderfully calming presence throughout the day. Other reviews mentioned that he was like a ninja filming and that was certainly the case for our wedding day as well. The 10 second clips he dropped before our Highlight video were absolutely stunning and the final video left us speechless and our hearts overflowing. We could feel the love and joy from our wedding day brought back to life. I’m blown away at some of the brief, incredibly special moments that were captured. Paul is beyond skilled and passionate with his craft and it translates every step of the way. We are forever thankful for our wedding video and would recommend Paul Kwak Films in a heartbeat.

    Wonderful Experience

    Paul did a wonderful job capturing our wedding. He was easy to work with, we had great communication beforehand and he made everything seamless. The end result is a beautiful heirloom video that I can't stop watching -- and I cry every time I watch it! The colors are beautiful, his team was lovely and unobtrusive, and Paul's gift for editing as a filmmaker really shone through. Thank you!

    Paulkwakfilms is the total package!

    So our journey with Paul started 2 years back when he still resided in CA and even though he moved to the other side of the country during this time, he did not ever ask for a price increase and honor his contract the moment we had to postpone. Paul is an upstanding guy and did everything within his power to accommodate our wedding. His team and himself were super friendly when we initially met, to the point that I almost didn't realize that he was our videographer! Post wedding he also gave a very clear timeline as to when to expect the video and delivered, he also let us partake in the video making by allowing us to select key parts we wanted in our video. We have only had our video for a week and we've watched it over a dozen times already. Paul genuine and professional demeanor make it impossible to not recommend him, he is everything that he advertises and more! Thank you again Paul!

    Somebody give this man an Oscar.

    Paul and his team did a truly incredible job capturing our day. He is, in our opinion, the most skilled videographer in the DMV and that we’ve experienced anywhere. He and his team were so easy to work with and made sure we were well-handled throughout our day, including logistical challenges and timeline-adaptations like off-site trips to crowded monuments. We had a blast with him and his crew. They had just the right amount of presence. We really got to know them, everything was superbly and tastefully-artistically documented, and we never felt they were intrusive or overbearing. His films of all couples are incredibly moving (not just the one where we had the lead roles). We truly love reliving our day through his work.

    Loved working with them!

    Paul, Andrew, and Prince were all so great to work with this past weekend at a wedding in D.C. They are all so talented, made the couple feel so comfortable, and create an amazing product (at least from the sneak peaks we have seen thus far). Would definitely recommend them to future couples!

    Paul was extremely professional and did an incredible job. I was amazed he had such a quick turn around on our 1 minute video, which was done by the time I was on my plane to go home the next day. Would highly recommend!

    Simply the best!

    Paul is simply the BEST! If you are considering booking Paul, RUN & book him now.

    Where to start?

    Paul was VERY easy to work with, flexible, creative, and collaborative. His work speaks for itself - professional, quality, and touching.

    We will cherish our wedding short film and videos for a lifetime. So many have complimented our video! Paul did a great job capturing our feelings, words, and special moments.

    Some of the reasons why we selected Paul - we wanted quality video production, a videographer who told a story, and the ability to incorporate our words (vows, toasts, etc). Paul checked all of those boxes! We did upgrade to the short film after the wedding and added the IG teaser. The day goes by fast, glad we have our day captured! This was hands down the best wedding investment we made.

    Paul Made Our Dreams Come True!

    I originally came across Paul’s work through our wedding planner and the minute I saw just a snippet of his videos I knew he had to be the one to create ours. It was absolutely the best decision we could have made and worth every single penny and then some. The pictures and video were my biggest want for the wedding because to me that is the way you can visually preserve your day. He created cinematic genius! It was way beyond our expectations. And trust me, with me being a media professional they were HIGH. Paul and his team were gracious, kind, prompt, communicative and professional. I just can’t tell you enough how obsessed we are with the way he captured our special day. He made our fairytale come to life on the screen. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Paul. You are an immensely talented and kind hearted human.

    Spectacular

    Paul and his team did spectacular work on the short film for my wedding. The edit was completed a few days ago, and the arrangement of scenes, the choice of music, and the choice of segments picked out from various speeches on our special day, were all done masterfully. The result was a beautiful and dramatic short video that makes you feel like the starring role in a movie. And this is the unanimous feedback I am getting from all my family and friends who watched the short film.

    As someone that has never planned a wedding before, I felt that the cost of using Paul and his team was significant. But I took a look at his works and took the leap of faith, and I am glad that I did. If you’re going to be at a beautiful venue, with beautifully dressed people, and working with other talented (and yes, expensive) vendors, then you want someone who can capture all of that in one neat masterpiece—Paul & team did that for us, and we are left with a 5-minute video of the most special moments of our most special day that we will come back to time and time again, for a lifetime.

    The video of our special day can be found on Instagram at @paulkwakfilms, November 8 post.

    Out of this world!!

    Paul is absolutely amazing, we don’t even have the words for how perfect his work is! Paul and his team worked with us through 3 wedding dates total throughout our covid postponements, and were unbelievably understanding and easy to work with time and time again! Paul was such a relief to all the stresses that our postponements brought us, as we knew we could always count on his flexibility to maneuver through the unprecedented territory we faced. On our wedding day everything went by in such a rush, we were blown away to see all of the angles that Paul had set up once we got our footage back- it felt like seeing every moment back again as a guest at our own wedding, it was amazing! Additionally, Paul and his team were the calming and friendly energy we needed in the most stressful moments! His artistry and eye for capturing the feel of our wedding was mind-blowing, from the editing choices of shots to include and the music as well. If you’re on the fence between other videographers or whether or not to hire one at all, my ultimate recommendation is that you never want to forget not only the moments of your once-in-a-lifetime day but also exactly how that day makes you feel, and Paul without a doubt captures it all!
