    Beyond Words Impressed

    The Richards made our wedding video dreams come true! It was actually our second time working with them- they captured an incredible video for my sister’s wedding as well! The entire day they kept us calm and excited, and the end result is beyond our expectations. It is beautiful, touching, funny, and so incredibly us. We cannot recommend them enough!!!

    Best videographers!

    My husband and I absolutely loved working with The Richards. They are two of the most caring and sweetest people you will meet. They really did an amazing job with capturing out perfect day. Every time I watch our video, I get chills all over again. They really know how to capture the greatest and special moments. They were every easy to talk to and gave great instruction on what we needed to do. I highly recommend getting a videographer for your wedding and I highly recommend The Richards!

    Kristina and Mike are extremely talented and did a wonderful job! Everyone who has seen our wedding video said it was the best they've seen. They are also QUICK! We got our wedding video while we were at the airport on the way home from our wedding-- within 2 days of the ceremony! My friend who is a makeup artist- Thuy Tran- recommended them and I'm so glad I took her advise! Paying extra for a quality videographer is worth it, so save up for it! My husband thought it was an unnecessary expense, until he saw our video! He was so glad I insisted on having a videographer and a high-quality one at that!

    They made us feel comfortable and everything went smoothly. They were both wonderful to work with from the beginning. The video came out BEYOND what we could have imagined, it was extremely emotional. We had a 10 minute trailer video, and every little detail was so amazing. We could not have made a better decision than to go with Mike and Kristina.

    When we got engaged, I knew immediately that choosing the right photographer/videographer would be a daunting task, as my fiancé is a professional photo/video editor for a very large local company. We scoured the internet & wedding websites for hours and days on end, and we finally stumbled upon 829 films... and I am THRILLED that we did.

    When we met with Mike and Kristina, my fiancé put them through the ringer with all of his questions about style, technique, equipment, turnaround time, etc - Mike & Kristina passed his tests with flying colors!

    We had our engagement session with 829films yesterday, and I have to admit - I was nervous. I am definitely uncomfortable in those types of situations... but shooting with Mike & Kristina was like shooting with old friends! They are so kind, sweet and professional; they make you feel SO at ease! It was like hanging out with good friends you've known forever - fun & effortless!

    Not only that, but within just a few hours of the session, they posted GORGEOUS photos online! Our friends and family cannot stop complimenting us on them... and they are just a fraction of the final product!

    Overall, Mike and Kristina have exceeded our expectations 1000 times over. We HIGHLY recommend them. They are the clear choice when it comes to Central Florida photographers/videographers... we will DEFINITELY be using them to capture many precious life memories in the years to come!

    Mike and Kristina were absolutely incredible. I contacted them because I wanted professional-quality video of our proposal, and they did an amazing job. They even helped me make some of the decisions about exactly how and when I was going to propose. They drove almost 3 hours to my location at the Ritz-Carlton in Sarasota, and the results were absolutely terrific. We'll be using them for our wedding as well. Could not recommend them more highly!

    Studio EightTwoNine was one of the best choices my daughter made for her April 26, 2014 wedding in Apopka, Florida! Their service is top quality!! They truly made this special day that much more special! Without doubt, they provided an extraordinary videography service from beginning to end! Their attention to detail and creative abilities by far exceeded any and all of our expectations! If anyone is looking for the best videography company in the business, they should look no further than Studio EightTwoNine!

    My wife Sam and I had the pleasure of working with Mike and Kristina last Saturday the 15th. They are by far the best photographers in Central Florida. This goes beyond just the photos thenselves which are phenominal but its in the way they listen to your needs and take the time to plan out exactly how they will execute their sessions with you. They have an eye for elegant yet exponential detail in their photos and I will only recommend them when asked. Mike and Kristina thank you for leaving us with unforgettable memories we will never forget that night!

    I absolutely loved Mike and Kristina's videos that were posted prior to my wedding. We are from Canada and had to do a lot of research since we were doing a destination wedding at disney world. I am so happy that I went with them. At first, I was not sure if I wanted a video at all but we just got back our highlight film and I am sooo in love with it. I have watched it 100 times and I have showed everyone. They were really friendly and easy to work with. I would only recommend them for video because there work is so amazing. Just like watching a movie. I am sooo happy I found them online and I can not wait for the full movie. They are very attentive to the little details and they care about what they do which makes the videos high quality!!!!!

    Mike and Kristina did an amazing job photographing our wedding! We couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out. They exceeded our expectations in every area. They were extremely professional and responsive before, during, and after the wedding. They made us feel comfortable during the entire process and were present to capture great shots for every moment that was important to us. These two are very talented and my wife and I highly recommend them.

    I cannot begin to describe how amazing Mike and Kristina were to work with! I waited until last minute to book a videographer, but everyone told me it wasn't worth the money. It was something I really felt I would regret, and I reached out to them with questions. After talking to Kristina and having her describe how they work and what they do I was sold! She mentioned that photography doesn't always capture the little moments that you don't want to forget, and she could not have been more right! My wedding day started out with a lot of hiccups and they helped calm me down and ensure me that every wedding always comes together in the end and they were exactly right. They captured our wedding day perfectly and I get to relive it over and over again now forever! The best part... I had something to watch in TWO DAYS! They didn't leave me hanging and I was amazed at how perfect it was without any input from me on what I wanted. Since our video was posted, we have had SO MANY phone calls/texts/messages/comments on how amazing our video is and people who wish they could redo their wedding day just to hire 829Films! It brought grown men to tears! Their passion truly shows through their work and I would recommend them to absolutely anyone! Hands down my favorite wedding vendor I hired on my wedding day :)

    Working with Mike and Kristina has been nothing but an absolute pleasure! My (then) fiance and I met them for the first time a few months prior to the wedding to go over some details and ended up talking, not only about the upcoming wedding, but about similar interest that we had and made an instant connection, which solidified our choice in working with the two of them. On the day of the wedding, they were prompt and, although we had a camera around us for most of the day, made it seem as though they weren't even there. The result was an amazing video that was more like a movie and makes me tear up every time I watch it. I have nothing but good things to say about the two of them and the vision that they had in mind when they created our video. Highly recommend!

    Mike and Kristina are so fun to work with and they are so awesome at what they do!! You never have to worry what your pictures will look like because they will deliver nothing but amazing!! From our engagement pictures to the preview photos I've already seen from the wedding the compliments from friends and family are non-stop! They are always coming up with new ideas for some really awesome pictures so your photos aren't like everyone else's. I would highly recommend them if you want some really great memories that will last a lifetime!

    My wedding pictures looked incredible! I was so happy with how they took their time to make sure I got all the pictures that I wanted. I would definitely use them again.

    If you are looking for a videographer-- LOOK NO FURTHER!!! You cannot put a price on the work this husband and wife team do!!!!!!! They filmed my wedding April 4, and the FULL video was completed and posted very early April 7, 2013! everybody (including my husband and I were completely in awe after watching our film)

    They both showed up to my wedding VERy early and stayed til the end, no questions asked!

    Mike and Kristina love what they do and it is very obvious. They captured every single moment and I did not even know they were there half the time after watching the video they made for me!

    Not only did they video every single detail, they also offered to help on many occasions with small things that were not even required! They go over the top to help the bride and groom.

    They both immediately make you feel at ease & are by far my favorite vendor I had present at my wedding (And I had great vendors!!)

    THey deserve to be recognized 100% and I absolutely recommend them to be your videographer!!

    Thank you Kristina and Mike for giving Josh & I the best video we could have imagined and to remember our wedding for all the days of our lives!!!!

    I have so many AMAZING things to say about Mike and Kristina that I don't know where to start. They are very professional not to mentioned fun and always willing to help. They were not only our videographers but our resource people when we needed some last minute referrals. If you want your wedding day to be captured in an unique, and beautiful way make sure you use them. Weddings can be expensive and trying to maintain a budget is hard, but believe me there is not a better investment than video. Photos capture only moments but the vide capture the whole thing, speeches, crazy and fun moments, and many more. Your day will go by very quickly and your video will be your constant reminder of everything.
    My husband and I went on a cruise for our honeymoon and were anxious to see our video since my Facebook was blowing up with amazing comments from people on how beautiful our video was; I even have people I don't know adding me because my friends have showed them the video and they love it. I still don't get tired of watching my highlight video and amazed of how many lil detail they captured that many people don't pay attention to.
    I have referred Mike and Kristina to everyone I know is getting married because I know for a fact that they will do an Amazing job! I can't thank them enough for everything they did and can honestly say that they are the BEST videographers I have seen for wedding. You can NOT go wrong with them :)

    I highly recommend this cinematography team for any wedding or special event! Not only are they an amazing couple (kind and very comfortable to be around), but they have extreme talent and style! We were beyond pleased with the wedding teaser (short trailer preview), as well as the full length wedding video! Their filming techniques were genius, and we have received so many compliments regarding their work. We have watched the videos over and over....they are true cinematographers! These videos are something that we will be sharing with our future children, so I am so happy we chose them to capture our special day!

    Mike and Kristina are absolutely phenomenal! We LOVE our video and feel so lucky we had them to capture our special day. Their attention to detail is exceptional! When our families and friends saw our highlight video they thought it was a trailer to a movie. Then when they saw the full video they were knocked out of the park! We highly recommend them!!!

    Mike & Christina were more than amazing! They went above and beyond our expectations. They were able to capture so many treasured moments at our wedding and reception. You just know they really care about you and capturing your whole love story.
    The passion they have towards their work is unbelievable! You can tell they really mean business. Our wedding highlight video was up in under 24 hours. My husband and I watched it multiple times a day on our honeymoon. Every detail was included and the music they set it to is now one of my favorite songs. The quality of their work speaks for itself! I still get misty eyed watching our videos.
    Mike & Christina were great to work with and knew what they were doing. I felt that we were in the hands of true professionals. Their personality/demeanor/down-to-earth vibe was great and they were always able to answer questions or concerns in a timely manner.
    I have since recommended 829films to multiple friends for their weddings. I know that their wedding days will be captured just as beautifully as ours was. I would recommend them again and again!!!

    Mike and Kristina were great to work with! Our wedding was 09/02/12. They were flexible with us as we were from out of town (MI), so it was important for us to meet before the big day.. We went over a timeline and they followed it perfectly. We are all so very happy with the quality of work and passion they have for their art of video. I could not believe we received a same day highlight -- after a very long day! Communication was excellent and their attentiveness to detail was out of this world. While watching the video with my family, they still can't believe they got such great shots and they were never noticeable. They put together a memory that we will always have to watch on our anniversary and someday show our future kids. Overall, I would have been so disappointed not to have them present. Highly recommended!!
