    Just Awesome!! A True Blessing!!!

    Marlon and his team made our day the absolute best! I would recommend him to anyone who doesn't want to stress on their big day. He was well organized and anything we wanted captured, we got!!! Marlon and his team were like family on our big day I could not think of anyone better than him. He constantly followed my husband and I and even the photographer. I received a teaser video with a phone call from him saying " I have a surprise for you". He is top notch he and his team were such a answered prayer!!!!

    Everything we could Dream of!

    We had the pleasure of working with this amazing wedding videographer recently, and let me tell you, their work is top-notch! The video quality was outstanding, capturing all those special moments beautifully. They were so professional throughout the entire process, from the initial consultation to the final delivery. Marlon was quick to send us a sneak peek and we received the final video in a great timely manner, even considering it was one of the busiest times of the year. Communication was a breeze, and they were super attentive to our requests. Not only did they meet our expectations, but they went above and beyond, adding those extra touches that made the video truly magical. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a talented and dedicated wedding videographer!

    Highly recommend!

    Marlon (Special Capture) was such a joy and blessing to have for our wedding day. He was so personal and we had a zoom chat to get to know each other before. He made sure to capture everything we wanted and made the day flow flawlessly. I still rewatch our sneak peak and 10 minute video and tears flow down because of how perfect it is. He definitely captured our day so perfectly! I highly recommend- he is so worth it!

    Awesome! Definitely recommend

    Marlon was awesome to work with and to just be around! He made me feel less nervous about the day and made everyone feel great! He also communicated very well throughout the months leading up to the wedding day. The video turned out so amazing! He captured beautiful moments throughout the entire video. My husband and I both LOVE the video. I 100% recommend Special Capture :)

    Everything we asked for and more!

    We cannot recommend Marlon enough. He was easy to work with and made our wedding day fun and stress-free. He went above and beyond to ensure that everything we wanted was captured on our wedding day. He even stayed an extra hour to make sure he got footage of our sparkler exit. He made us and our guests feel comfortable in front of the camera. The video he created for us was incredible and more than we could have imagined!

    The best videographer!!

    We hired Marlon to capture our wedding in September and he went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect video. Even before the wedding he took the time to make sure everything was planned out and communicated! The day of the wedding he arrived early and started capturing all of our details so that he would be able to focus on us the rest of the day. Our bridal party had so much fun and could not stop talking about how much they loved Marlon. We received our video back within the time frame he gave us and we were so impressed with the video he had created for us. We received so many compliments on it! We cannot recommend Marlon enough!!

    Made our wedding day so special!


    We can’t thank Marlon & his team for creating the most beautiful film of our wedding day! Marlon’s attention to detail and his dedication to capturing all the important moments of our wedding made our wedding film even more special.

    We had a few family members who were not able to attend the wedding last minute and Marlon came prepared and was able to set up cameras to live stream the wedding. So many friends and family in different states and countries were able to share this special day with us! The quality of the wedding video was stunning and the editing by Marlon was flawless.

    We are so so happy we worked with Marlon to capture our wedding way and would highly recommend others to do the same!

    Great experience!

    I highly recommend working with Special Capture! During our initial meeting, he created a vision for me that helped ease any of the anxiety I had about capturing my day. And the energy didn't waver the day of. He was so fun to work with and captured our day beautifully.

    Beautiful Work

    We enjoyed working with Marlon and his assistant on our wedding day! He was super encouraging and captured our day beautifully. I also appreciated his flexibility with me not wanting to wear a mic during the ceremony. Overall, we love the video he created for us as it captures not just the day, but also our vows! We will treasure our wedding video for decades to come.

    Best videographer ever - seriously

    We loved working with Marlon! He made the wedding day very relaxing and caught all the special moments! He is worth every penny. My mom called me after to say how genuine the video was and every person who saw the wedding video he created, sent us a message that they teared up or full blown cried. I can’t not stress enough if you are looking for a wedding videographer who is amazing at their job and creates a stunning work product, then don’t go anywhere else!

    Wonderful experience!

    Special Capture made our wedding experience an amazing memory that we will treasure for the rest of our lives! Thank you for your professionalism, kindness, and joy that you brought with you! We would encourage others to hire SC; they are great communicating up to the wedding and very helpful and easy to work with on the day-of.

    A Blessing from the Lord

    This was such an amazing experience and truly a blessing. I loved how involved he was in the whole event and how happy he was to be there. The product that he made is such an amazing gift and it brings tears to my eyes. I would highly recommend Marlon to anyone.

    Great Eye (And Ear) for Detail

    We had a tight budget for video, and I knew finding a worthwhile option in our price range was going to be tricky. I probably reviewed 40 different portfolios, but Marlon's stood well apart from the rest. His work had good quality sound, better handling of low light situations, steady ceremony footage, and a keen eye for detail. I was really on the fence about having video at our wedding at all, but I ended up opting to purchase one of Marlon's smaller packages. In the end, I was glad I decided to do it. He exceeded my expectations overall, and we really enjoyed all the small details he picked up on and included in our video.

    Highly recommend by Venue Director

    So much goes into planning your perfect day. So many pieces have to come together. To have your day captured in such a way as Marlon with Special Capture did for our beautiful couple, Michael and Carolina here at Malachi Meadows Venue was priceless. As the Venue Director you miss some of the magic going on around you. I believe I have watched this 100 times to just feel the love, laughter and beauty of this day. Marlon was able to capture the elegance of every detail with such passion and professionalism. He was such a joy to have and here at Malachi Meadows, we hope to have him back again and again. Special Capture, without any hesitation comes highly recommended by us.

    The Perfect Day Captured

    Planning and having a wedding during a Pandemic can be very stressful. From our first virtual meeting with Marlon from Special Capture we could sense his energy and attentiveness. My husband and I were able to block out everything happening in the world and just focus on capturing our special day. When Marlon and his team arrived on our wedding day , we could feel their passion and also see how much work is put into capturing such magical moments. After the wedding Marlon was prompt to provide us with the footage, and the quality was phenomenal. We recommend any couple to work with special capture, for they truly live up to their name.

    By far the BEST value for videographer in the Raleigh area!

    Marlon and his team were very passionate about their work and did all they could to capture the big moments along with the details. He was very responsive and easy to reach through text, email, and phone call. Our initial chat was easy and lighthearted. Marlon's great sense of humor matched with his perfectionist ways makes a great combination for a wedding videographer! My wife and I would highly recommend Special Capture to any couple searching for a lifetime of memories of their day!

    Amazing & talented videographer

    Mr. Castro did an amazing job at our daughter's wedding. He was punctual, professional and very easy to get along with. He took all the chaos of the day in stride and got it done. He was super friendly! We received the "teaser" video in two days just like he promised and it left us in happy tears anxiously awaiting the final cut. I can't recommend Mr. Castro enough! You will not be disappointed!

    Special Capture's reply:

    Mrs. Powell, Thank you so much for those warm words, I am so grateful and honored to capture your daughter's wedding. I am definitely excited for been sharing The Trailer/Teaser Film and I am so sure your Highlight Film will be beautiful. Thanks again for let Special capture been the one to captured.

    Perfection

    Looked through his videos and thought that his style was perfect for our wedding. Little did we know he would knock it so far out of the park it's ridiculous. Couldn't be happier with the video he made for us and we've watched it a few times already. He captured our personalities perfectly, edited the video beautifully, added music and made both of us cry all over again like we were back up at the altar saying our vows. We honestly can't say enough good things about him.

    Lovely to work with!

    Marlon is such a kind person and so easy to work with! He made sure to capture the most special moments of our day (living up to the name Special Capture, for sure) and he worked so hard to give us a video we loved. I can't wait to share it with our friends and family and watch it for years to come!

    Best Videographer Ever!

    Marlon was great to work with throughout the entire planning process of my wedding. He made sure to capture the small special moments during our entire wedding day. He delivered our content in a timely fashion (earlier than stated in our contract) and we even got to watch out highlight video on our honeymoon. I couldn't have asked for a better videographer for our wedding. He was so much fun to work with and all of our videos exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for a videographer (who is reasonable with pricing and produces exceptional work) this is your guy!
