    Incredible Videographer

    John was truly one of the best people we worked with throughout the entire wedding planning process and we are so happy we chose PGP. From the very beginning he was great in helping us figure out what style/length of video we wanted. He was very accommodating and he went above and beyond for our wedding weekend. If you are looking to hire a videographer, John is the best person for the job, he's very creative and easy to work with. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a videographer!

    INCREDIBLE! The perfect video!

    John was wonderful to work with from the beginning! From the first phone call he was clearly knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and personable. On the day of our wedding, he and Roxanne were relaxed and professional. Every important moment was beautifully captured, but more than that there were so many little gestures of love or side glances and they managed to catch those too! While we were still at our reception, John even had a sneak peek video ready for us! It was so exciting to see a glimpse from earlier in the day and made us look forward even more to the final video. And it could not be more PERFECT. John’s storytelling ability is unmatched and the way he merged our individual retellings together into one piece is spectacular. Next time someone asks how we met I’m showing them our video because it tells our story better than I ever have by myself. I love the video so much every time I show someone, I want to watch their reactions, but I just end up watching the video again because it is that captivating! I’ve loved working with John and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about making the best keepsake of your day possible.

    A video to last a lifetime!

    John did an absolutely outstanding job on our wedding video - my husband and I both sobbed upon watching it for the first time! So gorgeous, so personal, so us. John and his co-shooter were both wonderful to work with and even had a preview video for us ready by the time we sat down to eat! We were blown away. Cannot recommend PGP enough!

    Highly recommend!

    John was the videographer for our August 2021 wedding in Philly. We originally were not going to have video, but changed our minds in early 2021. I am SO glad we not only choose to hire a videographer, but that we chose PGP Films to be our vendor. John blew our minds when, DURING the wedding reception, he pulled us aside to show us a 1 minute teaser video that he had put together and edited on the spot. I couldn't believe it! The final videos we got were absolutely beautiful, and watching them brings me so much joy. Hiring PGP wedding films to capture our special day was one of the BEST decisions we made while wedding planning.

    The BEST of the best!

    John at Pure Genius was so amazing and hiring him was the best decision we made through the wedding planning process. He was so fun and easy to work with but we also could never tell he was there - never in your face which we really appreciated! The video he produced for us was better then we could've ever imagined and I would recommend him to anyone! Thanks for everything, John!

    Best videographer by far!!

    I don't think I could even come close to describing how thankful I am to have met John as our wedding videographer. When first meeting with John I was nervous and didn't know what to expect out of a videographer, but he quickly eased all of my fears. I was most impressed with how real John was during our first sit down meeting which allowed us to get to know one another prior to the wedding (which I think is super important). I never once felt like it was awkward or weird and soon into the meeting it was like we had been friends for years because he was very easy going. The most memorable thing that made me want to book right away, was John's importance of catching the most memorable parts of the wedding night because of his own personal experience with not having a credible videographer. John was very adamant that what he and his wife experienced on their wedding day would not happen to any other wedding couple. Fast forward to the wedding day and everything went so smoothly. John was sure to show up with a smile on his face, and made shooting natural and not uncomfortable. I was also impressed that his assistant was a female so they could split up and catch both parties getting ready. By the end of the night, John had a special surprise for us....a wedding video preview that was phenomenal! He is so talented at what he does and his videos truly show how much time and dedication he puts into catching every little detail. So if anyone is looking for a great videographer who is also super kind...John is your man! I will surely be recommending him to all of my friends and family!

    Absolutely Beautiful

    When planning my wedding, I originally was not going to have a videographer, but that changed when I met John at Thousand Acre Farms bridal expo. After meeting him and seeing examples of his work I decided that I needed to hire him. I recommend him to anyone looking for someone to capture their most special day! He is so nice, professional and FAST! We had a teaser by midnight and our highlight video less than a month later and can’t want to get our full video back! Both the teaser and highlight film had me in pure tears of joy. What he captures and how he creates his videos are absolutely beautiful! If you want to relive you’re most special day over and over....pure genius is the way to go!

    Beautiful films

    John captured our wedding absolutely beautifully, without being intrusive at all. He has an incredible eye and talent for editing, and all the cuts we received are fabulous!

    The best thing we didn't know we needed!

    We can’t recommend Pure Genius highly enough. John was one of the easiest vendors to work with through our planning process. He only needed on quick meeting with us before the day. He listened to and executed all of our needs leaving nothing behind. The day of, it seemed like he and his assistant were barely there. Minimal direction, and they were never in the way, but still came up with so much great footage. We couldn’t believe the turnaround time! We even had a “trailer” before we went to bed. The webpage he puts together to organize the videos for our friends and family is so helpful. Using Pure Genius for our wedding video was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

    Booking Pure Genius Pictures to shoot my wedding was one of the single best decisions I made while planning. John was incredibly responsive to my requests, and was endlessly professional and accommodating over the months leading up to the event. He arrived early on the day of and worked perfectly alongside my photographer late into the evening.

    But the most amazing part was waking up the next morning to find that John had already cut together a 60-second preview video I could share with family who had been unable to attend! I know they appreciated that.

    Initially, I had only requested footage of the ceremony and speeches, but John assured me that a highlight video would help put the whole event into perspective—AND HE WAS SO RIGHT!! Having a little, tiny time capsule of the day is so cool and it’s something I know I will cherish alongside the ceremony and speeches (who knew my dad would bring his guitar and do a sing-along??)

    I am so, so happy with everything John created and emphatically recommend his work to anyone who’s even the slightest bit interested in booking a wedding videographer. You will not regret it, trust me!

    My husband and I hired Pure Genius for our wedding in July at the Hotel du Pont, and it was one of the best decisions we made leading up to our big day!!!
    John was incredible to work with. He was super quick and helpful when responding to our questions, and always incredibly kind and personable. He went above and beyond in making our day special, and we are so grateful that he and his second videographer Bill were a part of our wedding day dream team.
    Our video was everything we could have wanted and more!!! It was so artistic and beautiful, and it captured the fun and romance we wanted to portray on our wedding day. John got a great sense of who we were as a couple and did an excellent job of making the video perfectly us. John is creative and passionate about what he does, and it shines through in the details of his work.
    Thank you, John, for all of your hard work!!! We are so happy to have our wonderful highlight film to remember our big day for many many many years to come!!!

    John is amazing! He is so easy to work with and works with you every step of the way. He was standing on chairs crouching down and just working so hard to capture every moment. I was unsure if I wanted a videographer and I can honestly say it is my favorite thing I have purchased for the wedding. These are moments you can see in pictures but now I get to HEAR our vows again. I HIGHLY recommend John!!!! My sneak peak and highlight films had me in tears. My husband & I have watched our full length film at least twice now. I am so glad I decided to get one!!

    ABSOLUTELY LOVED OUR WEDDING VIDEO! It is true when they say your wedding day will fly by. We are so happy to have hired John to capture our special day. The pictures are amazing to look back on , but there is a clear distinction when watching the video. John captured every special moment. I didn't even notice that he was there! He was so easy and pleasant to work with. I have recommended him to everyone that wants my opinion! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!


    the Wedding Film You Can't Live Without!
    "Your wedding day will go by so fast!" If you are engaged, you've heard this and rolled your eyes. How could you forget all the details of the day you spent so long planning? To me, a wedding is more than the color scheme, the flowers, the venue. It's about finding the little moments - talking with your grandparents in the corner of a room, a quick smile between photos, and a laugh at a dumb joke no one else would laugh at - thankfully no one else could hear it. I catch all these little moments and create the film that you will not want to live without.

    I was on the fence about getting a wedding video done but I couldn’t be more happy we decided to. Working with John was great, he was super helpful, professional and very discrete....we didn’t even know he was there! He captured moments we wouldn’t have seen otherwise and that we can continue to cherish for years. The turnaround time was quick, the editing was perfect and we now have several beautiful videos of our day from a 5 minute trailer to a full length video. Of all the things that go into planing a wedding, the video we have is probably my favorite!
