  Unbeatable quality & style

  Tara was a fantastic photographer for our wedding: our pictures look gorgeous and match the style we were looking for, and Tara and her assistant were everywhere they needed to be to capture everything on our wedding day. Looking back at our photos, they capture the spirit of our day and are an irreplaceable way to remember it: everything goes by incredibly fast and there's so much to experience, but having great photos becomes even more important looking back.

  We used Cork Creative for videography only, but check them out as a duo team. They both are so talented!
  
  We love our video so much, it is hard to put into words. Caleb nailed our personalities with the song choice because he took the time to get to know us with several meetings. The video totally surprised us with how awesome it is. They used a drone for some really cool shots. I can't seem to think of much else to say besides their videos are SO FREAKING COOL.
  
  Our video (and full cuts of ceremony, speeches, first look, etc.) was worth every penny and the fact that we have it is truly priceless. We can't wait to share it with our kids one day. The day goes by so fast and you will want to relive it. This is as close as you can get to reliving the best day ever. Get a videographer that does more than just film you while taking photos. You will not regret investing in making your memories physical.
  
  Easy to work with and responsive. Worked great with our DJ and photographer, too. It was so nice to be able to relax and trust that they know what they were doing and are truly professionals.

  Caleb and Tara blew all of our wildest expectations out of the water. Being a wedding photographer myself I have seen A LOT of wedding videography but nothing as good as what this fantastic couple put together for us. Caleb and Tara pay so much attention to detail and they are both wildly creative. Neither of them missed a single step on our wedding day, every little moment was captured perfectly. Not only did our film bring everyone to tears but I can't even count the number of people who shared it on their personal Facebook pages just because they thought it was so beautiful. I honestly cannot recommend these two enough, you will not regret hiring Cork Creative. Great people, great work.

  Caleb and Tara from Cork Creative are absolutely incredible to work with! We are anxiously awaiting our wedding video, but are 100% confident that Caleb and Tara will retell the story of our wedding beautifully. We met a few months prior to our wedding to shoot a film for our rehearsal dinner. We told our love story and Cork Creative used old home movies and photographs pieced together with our interview to tell our story. There wasn't a dry eye in the house when we played it! We were so grateful to have Cork Creative be part of our wedding weekend and we HIGHLY recommend this magnificent couple to future brides and grooms!

  Pros of using Cork Creative: very professional; great quality; easy to work with; one and a half years later I found that my DVD was not working and emailed Caleb. He got right on it and made sure I had my videos! He answered my emails so promptly and made everything better! This is true professionalism! This wedding vendor was the easiest to work with and I was so happy with my videos!

  Cork Creative is just the tops. I could definitely tell they were passionate about what they do from the first email I got back from Caleb. Unfortunately, they were unavailable the weekend of our wedding because they had already been booked for another one in Colorado - but we worked with Micah, who was also very talented and fun to work with. When we met via Skype the first time, we worked out all the details within the first 10 or 15 minutes and spent the rest of the time cracking jokes and talking about our lives. I feel like the purpose of that meeting wasn't just to discuss the contract/work, but to get a sense of who my husband and I are...what we love about each other and how Cork Creative was going to capture that. The day of the wedding, Micah and his crew showed up on time and ready to go. We opted to add a same-day video to be shown at the end of our reception and I am so so glad we did. It was expensive, yes, but everyone at our wedding was blown away by the quality and continue to talk about it. It made me burst into tears of joy! Definitely one of the most memorable moments of an already very memorable day. I can't comment on the other video (of ceremony/first dance/etc.) because we haven't received them quite yet. You can't rush these things, because it really is an art. But I will come back to update the review as soon as I get to see them. I can't wait! Caleb has become one of those "good people to know" guys who we keep up with on social media. Him and his wife Tara are always on the move, filming the most gorgeous weddings all around the world. In essence, I strongly recommend Cork Creative! They are higher on the price range, but so worth every penny.
