    The best video team!

    We talked to probably 15 different photographers and didn't really feel like anyone was the right fit until Nathan. After we got off of the phone with him we immediately knew he was what we were looking for. He is so kind and also listens to everything you are looking for. We were set on not doing a first look and many photographers tried to sway our opinion. Nathan did the opposite and not only never tried to sway us but said it would be no problem and he could easily get us to cocktail hour in time after the ceremony (which he did!). Our whole wedding party and family knew him by name and brought up how great he and his second photographer were. He is not only a calming presence on your wedding day but is very organized and efficient in the way that you don't feel like you are taking photos all day. Having flexibility with timing and not a super strict number of hours was also so refreshing. Our wedding was in shock when Nathan edited pictures during dinner and displayed them that same night on the DJ booth. I cannot recommend Nathan enough and am so glad we found him for our wedding it couldn't have gone better and I can't imagine having anyone else.

    SJK was amazing in the way they were present for the day and captured everything we could want and more. Wonderful price, communication, and responsiveness. I have nothing but positive things to say about the entire service.

    Best wedding videographer ever!

    Sam was an absolute joy to have worked with and I can't imagine not having him as our videographer!! The moments he captured and his artistic abilities in creating our wedding video is unmatched. He has created a lifelong memory that we will be able to share with our family, future family and friends. I cannot recommend SJK Productions enough, as your wedding videographer. I have watched the films at least once a day since we have received them. Sam is extremely communicative, thorough, friendly and kind!!! 100/10! He also allowed me to add additional time with him on the day of our wedding as well as add time onto our wedding video, without question. He made it as stress free as possible!!

    We had such a great experience with Sam!

    Sam was so great to work with! He is super accommodating and we are so happy we hired him! My husband wasn’t sure he wanted video to begin with, but he ended up being glad that we did it thanks to Sam! He was very calm and professional all day!! We have received so many compliments on our video it turned out so amazingly. It brought us to tears! Thank you Sam for capturing the most special day in our lives! Highly recommend him 10/10!

    HIGHLY recommend - book now

    This review is long overdue but I wanted to say how happy I was with SJK Productions! It took a bit of time trying to convince my now husband that we needed a videographer for our wedding day and Sam was incredibly patient and professional throughout the process. If you're debating whether you have room in your budget, I'm telling you - you need to make cuts elsewhere! I am absolutely in love with the videos/footage we got back and I know you will too if you work with SJK Productions. Working with Sam was an absolute breeze and he worked magic without me having to worry about a thing.

    Incredible Talent and Friendly Service

    SJK Productions was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the whole wedding planning process. Sam was responsive, helpful, and attentive throughout the planning process, which made our day-of experience a breeze. His demeanor and expertise in wedding videography, along with his kind and helpful spirit, made our experience absolutely incredible. We are also blown away with the end product that he produced for us and turned around very quickly! Thank you Sam!

    Exceptional!

    SJK Productions truly captured the essence of our wedding day with their exceptional videography skills. Beyond just the exceptional quality of their work, what truly sets SJK Productions apart is Sam’s warmth and professionalism. He was a true gem and blended seamlessly into the festivities, capturing all the magic of the day while also putting us at ease with his kind and easy-going demeanor. He has a keen eye for capturing the fleeting moments and emotions that made our wedding day so special, and his passion for his craft is evident in every frame.

    We cannot express enough gratitude to Sam and SJK Productions for creating such a beautiful keepsake of our wedding. We highly recommend their services to anyone seeking to preserve the memories of their special day. Thank you, SJK Productions, for your exceptional work and for the gift of reliving our wedding day through your lens!

    The BEST videographer

    Sam was absolutely incredible! He made the entire process leading up to our day a breeze. He was organized and I was not concerned for one minute on our day. He was great with my family, bridal party and guests by giving clear instructions and making it run smoothly while also keeping it light and fun! The video is STUNNING! I cannot emphasize enough how amazingly talented he is! We would recommend him over and over again!

    Sam helped with my sister's wedding and did a fantastic job. He then helped for our wedding in August and the results were incredible. He's super talented, easy to work with and the videos are unmatched. (Not to mention the quick turnaround time!) We would absolutely use him again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone! 10/10.

    Sam (of SJK Productions) was AMAZING to work with. He helped to capture the most important, beautiful moments of our wedding day so that we can remember them for years to come. Our wedding video came out beautifully and reflects exactly how we remember the day. We will cherish it for the rest of our lives. It is also worth noting that he has a great personality, and kept us laughing and calm throughout the whole wedding day. I'd recommend Sam and SJK productions to ANYONE looking for an amazing videographer. If you are like us and are on the fence when deciding if a videographer is worth it-- this is your sign that the answer is ABSOLUTELY YES. Looking back on all the costs of a wedding, an amazing videographer will grant you the opportunity to relive those beautiful moments that go by way too fast for years to come. Hire SJK Productions!

    Fantastic experience plus live streaming!

    We highly recommend SJK Productions for your videography needs. Sam also contracted live streaming of our ceremony, which turned out perfectly! It was a wonderful way for friends and family that couldn't join us to celebrate. We were so happy with the teaser, video of the ceremony, and highlights reel from SJK. Productions You won't regret it!

    Affordable

    If you are on the fence about a videographer, you absolutely should do it and you should book Sam at SJK Productions! The man is a wizard with a camera. We are still enjoying and balling over his work 8 months later! He made the whole process seem less, so much it so it was like he wasn’t there. He worked and vibed so well with us, our wedding party, the people running the show, and the photographer. He even showed up early in order to capture a few extra precious memories, which meant a lot to us because it was so hard to pick video recording hours. BOOK HIM. The quality of his work, the masterpieces he gifts you, and the irreplaceable value of a video on your wedding day far outweighs the money, he is by far the most affordable videographer we found! Thank you so much, Sam! - Ashley + Clayton 10.3.21

    The best of the best!

    Where do I even begin? I could never say enough good things about Sam + the rest of the SJK Productions crew! Planning a wedding in the midst of a pandemic was less than ideal, but Sam was absolutely incredible to work with. We had to postpone our original wedding date, and then 4 weeks before the new wedding date, we had to change our wedding venue. With every change, SJK Production made it happen. Sam + Troy are stand up guys, and are so dang talented. Our wedding video left my husband + I with goosebumps, tears, and huge smiles. In fact, we watched it 4 times over the first night we got it. Moments that might have slipped through the cracks of a busy day were brought to life in the most amazing way. We felt ALLLLL of the love that we felt on our wedding day all over again. There is nothing more amazing than that. This video is one we will cherish forever. If you are on the fence about a wedding video... YOU WILL NOT REGRET A VIDEO BY SJK PRODUCTIONS! Especially in the time of covid, it is a true blessing to be able to have this video to share with all of our loved ones who were not able to attend our smaller backyard wedding. Josh + I thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for allowing us to watch our favorite day over and over again!

    Amazing - High Quality Video

    Sam and his team did such an amazing job capturing our wedding and special moments. Sam was so easy to work with in booking and getting all the details. Emily was our videographer for the day of and she did so great. She made us all feel super comfortable in front of the camera and worked so well with our other vendors.

    The videos turned out so great. The quality is top notch. We are so glad we got video of our wedding. We loved watching it all back and reliving the best day and being able to share with our friends and family!

    I would definitely recommend booking SJK for your wedding!

    Amazing quality video

    Sam was an amazing vendor to work with on our wedding day. He was very professional and worked seamlessly with our photographer to capture beautiful footage that we will treasure for a lifetime. He went above and beyond, even making sure that we always had a drink in hand at our reception. I would definitely recommend him for anyone looking for an amazing, affordable videographer!

    Can't recommend enough!

    Sam was incredibly easy to work with and his pricing was very straightforward. His two videographers that joined us on the big day were so nice and accommodating, they always made sure to be close but were never intrusive. The end product was amazing, we almost didn't get a videographer but I'm so glad we did because they caught moments that we would have never seen otherwise. I can't recommend SJK Products enough!

    Superb Quality & Service!

    Sam and team did an absolutely fabulous job capturing our special day. I am blown away by the quality, love, and thoughtfulness that went into our videos. I also got our teaser video the Tuesday after our wedding (Saturday), which was exceptionally fast! Sam and his team were nothing but a joy to work with. They made us feel super comfortable and constantly checked in on if we were getting the shots we wanted and that we were happy. I highly recommend SJK - they are superb and exceed expectations!

    If you're looking for a Michigan wedding videographer? Look no further.

    We can't recommend SJK Productions enough. We worked with Sam for our wedding in Charlevoix, MI and he captured the day so perfectly. The whole time he was super attentive and kept us at ease while everything was moving a mile a minute. He is very well versed with weddings and different venues as well as super creative and talented. It rained on our wedding day but Sam knew exactly how to handle it all. Every video was perfect -- the teaser, the recap, the raw footage of the ceremony & reception. We got married in June and he got us our teaser a couple weeks later and the rest of the videos by early August which really helped with the wedding blues. Thank you Sam for capturing the best day of our lives so perfectly.

    We love sam kiste!

    Sam was so incredible to work with! He was so easy to work with prior to the wedding, and made sure my husband and I were getting exactly what we were looking for. Due to COVID we had to change our wedding date and venue (different state) and he graciously moved our date and location without hesitation. He sent us our teaser and full video so quickly, I was shocked. The videos were way better than expected! It was such an amazing experience, and I HIGHLY recommend booking him!!

    Perfect Wedding Video Duo!

    SJK Productions were absolutely incredible to work with! I had the honor of working with Sam & Troy and from start to finish, they were absolutely perfect. They knew their stuff and were so easy to work with. I felt comfortable from the second they walked in and knew they would deliver high quality product to capture our Wedding Day :) The weather wasn't the best or what we had hoped for, but they were able to be so flexible and still make the videos stunning and picturesque even in the rain! They sure were troopers! I would absolutely love to work with them again for any event in the future.

    I could not recommend Sam and his team enough. He cares so much about you as an individual client and caters to the experience you most want! Everything we asked for he provided. I didn't sweat once if I would be satisfied with how our day was captured because I trusted him 100%. The best way that I can put it is he is a magician behind the lense! After seeing our footage it surpassed my expectations. Seriously. Just book with them. You won't regret it!

    SJK Video Review

    Sam and his additional staff, Troy and Emily have been amazing to work with and provided us with the most special wedding video. The video truly captured our day in the best way and we are so grateful to have these memories that we will be able to keep forever. Our wedding plans were derailed multiple times due to COVID, and Sam was always so accommodating and willing to help us in any possible way. We would highly recommend SJK Productions for your wedding videography--the quality is amazing and our video was back to us in under 2 weeks! Thank you so much to Sam, Troy, & Emily for capturing our memories perfectly!! We love our video so much.
