    Amazing, 10/10 experience-highly recommend

    Working with the Swell team has been one of the most enjoyable parts of our wedding. If I could give 1 million stars, I would. They have been extremely easy to communicate with from start to finish. They honored any of our requests without any hesitation. They had both of our films back to us less than 3 months from our wedding. On our wedding day, they made us feel comfortable and at ease. The quality of the films is unmatched. They do the most beautiful job capturing the essence of the day. I will truly cherish the videos they created for us for a lifetime. They have given us the gift of being able to relive our amazing wedding day and that is something I will never be able to thank them enough for. Highly, highly, highly recommend anyone in need of a videographer to reach out to them. Thank you Swell!

    Highly Recommend!

    When we first started planning our wedding, we were on the fence about the necessity of a videographer. We finally decided to do it so that we would be able to show the video to our elderly grandparents that would not be making the drive to our destination wedding. We are so glad that we hired Swell Productions! Chris was easy to work with and ensured that his team recorded all of the important moments without being in the way. The videos that we have received from Swell Productions are breathtaking and will be cherished for years to come! Also, we rented a 360 Photo Booth from Swell, and that was the hit of the wedding!

    Wedding Video, WOW!

    We are speechless. That was the most beautiful, artistic, magical video. It was like I was reliving the moment. It brought me back to the happiest day filled with love and friends. Thank you for capturing these priceless moments. I can't thank you enough.

    Outstanding, Professional, Dedication, & Genuine

    Swell Productions went above and beyond our expectations! From the early morning of our wedding day to the very end they captured every memorable moment throughout our entire wedding day. Chris & Logan dedicated extensive amounts of time and effort to produce this outstanding, perfect wedding video. My husband and I get to relive the most beautiful and unforgettable day of our entire lives because of them. We highly recommend Swell Productions to any couple seeking a videographer to capture their wedding day. Chris & Logan are phenomenal to work with and made our large bridal party and us extremely comfortable, excited, & relaxed on such an emotional day. Thank you so much Chris & Logan for giving us the greatest gift we could have received from our wedding day! See you guys in 10 years at our vow renewal! 😂

    Amazing!

    We loved working with Swell!!! Chris is so kind, friendly, and professional. He was right in the thick of things capturing every moment, but you never felt like the camera was in your face. He was funny and put us at ease throughout the entire day. I HIGHLY recommend Swell! P.S. If you are on the fence about booking a videographer, take the plunge if you're able. No one will notice if you cut from your budget for florals or decor, but you'll have your wedding video for life and can relive that day for years to come. It's worth it!!!

    the best of the best

    We can not say enough good things about Swell. They went above and beyond to capture our day and make it feel completely natural. Chris and his team built a genuine connection with our group and made us feel comfortable in every moment. Swell made sure to capture every detail, moment, and emotion. They took a memory and made it a permanent piece of art. We will forever be grateful for their talent and the forever gift they gave us. We are so grateful for Swell and their outstanding talent and skill. Thank you doesn’t even begin to cover it.

    15/10! I will recommend Swell Productions until end of time

    Woooow! I cannot say enough amazing things about Swell Productions! They perfectly captured our day, communicated very well throughout the whole process from first email to executing the video. On top of that, they were extremely professional & so very nice! You can tell their heart & soul goes into every video they create & each video is unique to you & your day. I cannot recommend enough. If you’re still looking for a videographer, look no more!! You’d be crazy to pass up Swell Productions. You rock Chris!!!

    Outstanding videographer

    There is not enough room in this box to tell you how outstanding Swell Productions are! We came upon their company in an OBX wedding magazine. Each time we came upon a new vendor we would Google the company, review their work, and read client reviews. When we visited Swell Productions' website, we knew we had found our videographer. We couldn't believe how teary eyed we became watching strangers' wedding videos, but that is how good Chris is! He has an ability to truly create magic and we knew we had to have that. Working with Chris was so easy and comfortable. He was extremely responsive and asked us a lot of questions to make sure he understood what we were looking for on our big day. Fast forward to our trailer and our featurette... we have no words. We could watch this video a million times and still feel the emotions we felt the first time we watched. It is pure genius and we would hire him to capture every family event if it were socially acceptable to do so :) If you are looking for a videographer for your big day, stop here- you will regret nothing!!
    THANK YOU, Chris, for everything!!!

    Swell Productions helped give us our dream elopement! Chris is super responsive, professional, and talented. He got the most amazing drone footage of our beach wedding! His team prioritized safety during COVID-19 and was always on the same page as us. Thank you Swell--we will treasure our video forever!!!

    Swell Is the Single Best Decision You Can Make for your wedding!

    Chris and his team at Swell are truly masters of their craft! Their attention to detail, artistic style, cinematography, and overall vibe are second to none. They couldn't be easier and more fun to work with, and their finished product is simply better than everything else we saw our there, and we did extensive research because we wanted a video we could watch forever and cherish.

    We recognize that they are slightly more expensive than some of their competitors, but it is so worth it. If you are going to invest a little more on some aspect of the wedding, this is one thing that is totally worth it. You will not regret it. Just watch a couple of their videos and you can see for yourself. They are a must for any wedding in the area! By the end of the experience they felt more like friends than hired professionals, and we just can't thank them enough!

    Amazing! Forever grateful. Thank you!

    Wow! Chris and his team are absolutely AMAZING. Chris genuinely cares to get to know each couple so that he can do his best to create a video unique to them and their relationship. His communication was amazing throughout the entire process. He was on time and SO positive. He brought amazing energy to our wedding day. We received the video well within the timeframe he told us and then we proceeded to watch it 100x over the next 24 hours while we laughed and cried all over again. We are forever grateful for this team and their attention to detail. They are true masters of their craft. These guys are one in a million and we are so happy we found them to shoot our day. Thank you thank thank THANK YOU!

    Amazing & worth every penny!

    The day we decided to have our wedding in the Outer Banks I stumbled upon Swell Productions and knew I needed them for our wedding. I spent hours watching their work and was beyond impressed. I was fully prepared to move our wedding date, if needed, just so they could be a part of it. Hands down the best investment we made for the wedding, I have watched our cinematic short probably over 200 times and probably will watch it another 200 more! Chris is so talented and you will NOT be disappointed!

    A truly amazing gift!

    I cannot recommend Chris with Swell enough. I originally booked him back in 2020 for our 2021 wedding. After seeing his work I knew the investment would be worth it. He sat down with us the week of our wedding to go over our timeline and we were able to explain to him all of the details from our day that we knew we wanted to be included in our video. We were doing a pool jump as our "exit" and we created an entire plan with how we were going to capture this. After our meeting we were truly so excited and felt very confident in our day! Chris showed up on time, was professional and very kind. We felt comfortable with him all day and even had so much fun capturing everything! Nothing was over directed and you can tell Chris knows exactly what he is doing to capture all the important details. The final product we received is just magical. He captured our day perfectly and somehow managed to fit all of the emotions of our day into under 7 minutes. His cinematic style of videography is absolutely beautiful and tells a story. We got married at the same time as a few friends, and maybe I am biased, but the videos they received just do not compare. The reality is your wedding will be a blur and be over in the blink of an eye. Having this video to relive the day is an incredible gift.

    I also wanted to note that not only does Chris provide your cinematic video but he also send you a 45 minute video that includes your entire ceremony, dances and speeches. We love having this and I know not every videographer provides this and I think it is so important have. I know my parents having my dads entire speech is a gift for them as well and we love being able to watch our ceremony and will one day be able to share it with our children.

    We cant thank you enough!

    The Best Experience and Final Product

    We were planning our OBX wedding from afar and scouring the internet for a videographer. We came across Swell's work and it was a no-brainer. The sleek and personal style of the films; I found myself in tears and very touched by watching some of their posted wedding videos--even though I didn't know the couples! 2020 was an interesting year to have a wedding, but despite that Chris and co. we're super flexible and responsive when we finally decided to postpone and reschedule. Fast forward to day of and the team made it comfortable and fun. They were familiar with our venue, planner, and photographer so everything went smoothly! Our final videos were beautiful. We are so grateful and would recommend Swell a thousand times!

    The Best Around!!

    Chris absolutely killed our wedding video!! He is the best around by far. Chris’ talent starts from filming all the way to editing and everywhere in between. He made us feel so comfortable while we were in front of the camera. Our videos came out absolutely stunning; we were married on a very windy day, and the video/sound quality was so clear. Their work is very cinematic and they did an awesome job with the music/transitions. We are so happy we booked with Swell and would recommend to all couples because their work speaks for itself! We are so glad we will always have these videos to always remember our special day! Chris is also very professional and was extremely easy to work with during Covid and with postponement of our original date. Couldn’t ask for any better!

    Absolutely Amazing Wedding Video!

    The Swell Production team was amazing from start to finish. We had to postpone our wedding like many other couples in 2020, and they worked with us to be able to accommodate a new date one year later. We had a meeting with Chris before the wedding so he could meet us face-to-face and ask us questions about what we were looking for. Him and his team were amazing on the day of, and many people didn't even realize we had videographers there. They captured so many beautiful moments of us and our family and friends seamlessly. They also had a drone to gather footage of our venue and the beach which was icing on top of the cake. The video turned out absolutely beautiful, and it is really like a mini movie. You will not be disappointed if you book Swell Productions. I would use them for any big life event. A big thanks to Chris and the team - we now can re-live the day whenever we want!

    The best videographers!

    Chris and Chris are amazing videographers! As a broadcast journalist, I shoot video everyday for my job, so hiring a skilled videographer was important to me. Chris and Chris don't just capture posed moments, but rather, they go above and beyond to catch the little moments on your wedding day. We are so happy we chose them for our wedding day, and we HIGHLY recommend Swell! Thank you both so much!

    Sensational!

    I cannot begin to put into words how incredible Chris and the guys at Swell Weddings truly are but I will start by saying it was by far the best investment we made for our wedding and probably one of the best investments we will ever make! Everyone tells you that your wedding day will go by quickly but you don't really understand it until the day comes and goes. There are so many moments I barely remember and they captured it all, in the most beautiful and artistic way ever possible! Thanks to Swell we will have this day for the rest of our lives and I watch the short film almost daily! We are so thankful and blessed by this gift and almost opted out of hiring a videographer. Advice for future brides and grooms, DO IT, it will be the best decision and one you wont regret! I miss wedding planning, the details, all the sentimental touches and all the hard work you put into one day...well, I can say, I at least have the memories through our video. I cannot wait to see what the full version has in store for us! From the bottom of my heart, thank you Swell Weddings...you completely outdid yourself! ❤

    Beautiful Videos

    This is the videographer you need to hire. They were extremely responsive and so easy to work with, and their videos speak for themselves. The end result for our short film left me speechless, and it was the perfect way to share our wedding with loved ones that couldn't make it. The feature film had all of the important aspects of our wedding while still having an artistic feel. Loved having them, and I highly recommend!

    Incredible!!!!

    We asked for a wedding video and what we got was so, so much more. The video short we were sent was a cinematic piece of art, one that my now husband and I will hold close to our hearts for the rest of our lives. Swell captured the essence and the unique magic of our day, I can even feel the breeze in my hair and the temperature of the Gardens again just watching it. It’s something no other medium can produce and no other vendor will be able to give you - your favorite day on earth captured in the most beautiful and real way. Chris thank you again from the bottom of our hearts - you guys are going places with all this talent and we are humbled to have worked with you!!

    My husband and I were on a MISSION to find Swell at the OBX Wedding Expo for our October 2017 wedding after we learned they were the ones who shot our photographers’ promotional video. There was something so artistic, so modern and so emotional about the video, that we knew we had to at least meet the Swell team. Once we met Chris, it was a done deal. He was excited and energized, we absolutely loved his vibe. He was accommodating when we asked to extend their hours and assured us (as we were driving down to the Outer Banks) that everything will go smoothly on our big day. And it did. The Swell team was so laid back, we never felt like they in the way of anything as we danced the night away. They captured so many amazing moments (moments that I didn’t know happened until I watched the video) that I felt like I was reliving the day all over again. I cried, my mom cried, my bridesmaids cried, and my friends cried after watching our video because that day was so beautifully captured. Once I shared the video with our loved ones, I was flooded with “best wedding video I’ve seen…” texts and emails. My advice? Book Swell as soon as possible.

    We can't say enough!

    This review is long overdue! I didn't want a photographer, I wanted to be able to look back at a video to see what I knew I would never remember. Your day is so overwhelming and the guys at Swell were amazing! The video is so beautiful + not intrusive or in your face. They blend in + just capture all of it and make it beautiful. i will always recommend a videographer over a photographer. luckily i had my bridesmaid who does photography take a few photos here + there which are nice to have as well :) Videographers are worth every bit of the price tag + the guys at Swell are worth more!! Thanks y'all! I added stills from their videos since I can't attach a video
