    Wes Captured Our Day Perfectly

    Wes was so incredible to work with. I will tell you right now, going with another videographer when you *could* book Wes is a mistake. Don't say I didn't warn you.

    I had some crazy life interruptions during wedding planning (when it rains it pours, right?), and Wes was patient, kind, and responsive through it all. In a wedding video, I wanted something artistic and different that captured mine and my (now) husband's nature. Wes not only captured it, but perfected it, polished it, and made us absolutely shine. Ahead of the event, he worked with me and my (now) husband to get a true vision for what we wanted in our wedding videography. Each time I go back to rewatch the video, I relive the whole experience and all of my emotions come rushing back from each one of the moments. I feel like I was there all over again. Wes managed to get me my videos earlier than promised, which was another testament to this individual being a top notch professional.

    Another item of particular note, Wes was especially kind to my family. As many of you know, wedding planning is chaotic and sometimes family can think they're helping when they might actually be making things a bit more complicated. Wes took everything in stride and was wonderful all around.

    He just made everything beautiful and easy.

    Look no further- this is your videographer!

    If you want a cookie cutter wedding videographer, look elsewhere. There are ample words that could describe Wes Raitt Cinema, but ordinary is not one of them. I scoured what seemed liked hundreds of wedding videos on more than a handful of videographers pages, made my husband watch them until he was blue in the face, but once I found Wes’s work, and watched his videos, it was the easiest choice we made by far for selecting one of our vendors. Fast forward to the day of, where he was professional, comfortable, and so easy going with our photographers that people thought they were a package deal, and we were yet again solidified in our decision. A week into our marriage, Wes delivered the perfect, cinema like movie trailer in the form of a jaw dropping teaser, which left us wanting more . We could not wait to receive our full length film! Once we were able to view the wedding video in its entirety, we each just wanted to watch it again and again. It was perfect. And it was a true reflect of us and our day. And that is the thing about Wes- he not only creates a cinema worthy video of the best day for the bride and groom, it’s like he custom made it FOR the bride and groom. After combing through his wedding videos, each one is so perfectly tailored to the couple on the film...and that is the beauty of what he does and what makes him truly unique. Cody and I LOVE our wedding video- because it is us. If you watch Wes’s other films they are all fantastic, no two the same, but I couldn’t and didn’t really fully appreciate his work until I saw our film and compared it with the others he did; because in just one day of filming, he was able to capture the vibe, feelings, emotion, and personality of both my husband and I, and showcase that in our wedding “movie”. And THAT is why you should look no further, and hire Wes Raitt Cinema immediately!

    If you're thinking of video for your wedding, you should book Wes ASAP! He is passionate about his work and will take on only as many bookings he can while still being able to fully dedicate his creative energy to making each couple's day uniquely theirs. Wes's films are epic (and that's an understatement). If you are looking for a run of the mill wedding video, look elsewhere. He has a meticulous eye for detail and capturing hidden moments. His passion and creative energy are contagious and the end product is stunning. We highly recommend checking out his website and you will see a portfolio of videos that will make you give you all the feels. The videos reflect the love and beauty of each couple and perfectly captures their story. We had a lot of fill Wes's plate (a surprise flashmob, a traditional Vietnamese tea ceremony, a western ceremony, specific action shots with rose petals and dances, grand entrances, etc) and he was even more excited about it all than we were! He even surprised us with an incredible 360 shot of our flash mob! Wes made us feel comfortable being our true authentic selves, completely connected with our vision, and helped us capture it all forever in an incredible video. We are so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with him.

    My advice would be to not wait and book Wes now! He is such a talented guy! There are many talented wedding vendors that produce beautiful work, but Wes has a superb professionalism as well. I learned the hard way with some of my other wedding suppliers, that not everyone is professional and timely with their communication, however, you won't have to worry with Wes because he did such a good job communicating with us and being responsive. He even took extra time to Skype with us (we live in New Zealand) to make sure all our questions were answered before contracting. On the day, he went above and beyond to capture the unique and special moments of our day in such a jaw-dropping and WOW way. Wes is one talented guy and he has a special ability to not only capture the movement of the day through film, but he captures the excitement and buzz, the emotion, the real energy of your wedding. The problem you will have after is trying to think of other events you can hire him for! So don't wait...book him now before your date is gone, you won't regret it.

    Wes was very professional! He arrived at the venue before anyone else and was already filming all the amazing details that he included into the video. We are very pleased with the end result. Throughout the day he went above and beyond and worked so hard to capture the magical moments. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a beautiful video that they can keep for the rest of their lives!

    We truly have no words to express our sincere gratitude to Wes and his team for the absolutely incredible video of our wedding day. We were left completely speechless (and tearless) after watching! To any couple searching for a videographer and wondering if it's worth it, please stop hesitating and book Wes. Being able to relive your best day in the way that Wes is able to craft it is worth every penny and so much more. He was an absolute pleasure to have with us and a true professional and master at his art. His films are breathtaking and one of kind! Wes, thank you will never be enough. You have given us our most treasured possession that we will never get tired of watching!
    Love always,
    Mr. & Mrs. Cano

    BOOK HIM!!!!! that's the best advice I have. Its worth it so much. Pictures are amazing but nothing beats the video. Being able to replay or rehear what was said and see the start of your marriage from another persons eye! Its beautiful!!! Plus I cry every time I watch my video, and that means so much to me!

    Wes and his team produced a video of our special day in May 2016, and by produced a video, I mean they perfectly captured all of the emotion and joy of the best day of our lives on film. Being a destination wedding there were many special people that were unable to attend, but Wes' video enabled them to get a true appreciation of the celebration. He was always available in the lead up and relatively invisible on the day. We were blown away by the production quality of the finished product and loved his choice of content and backing music. We would go out of our way to recommend his services to anyone planning their wedding, it was the best investment we made for ours.

    We hired Wes for our April 2016 wedding as our videographer. He is so beyond talented, it's unreal. He was one of the best investments I have ever made. The video he made looks like a Hollywood movie by how incredible the editing and music he set to it is. But it is still so raw with all the wonderful emotions and he highlighted the amazing parts of our special day in the video. My husband and I are brought to tears each time we watch it. It's a video we will treasure forever and watch again and again. I can't wait to show our future children this amazing video! Thank you so much Wes for being so professional, talented, and wonderful on our wedding day! You won't regret hiring him I promise!

    To be completely honest, when my husband and I were first planning our wedding we were not sure that we were going to book a videographer - then we came across Wes Raitt Photo | Cinema. We fell in love with the style of his videos and are so happy we found him! We just received our video and I could not be happier! I absolutely recommend (and encourage) booking with Wes, you will not regret it!

    Wes is the most talented vendor! My husband and I cannot put into words how much we love the video of our wedding that Wes has created. It perfectly captures our day and is more than what we could ever imagine! His music selection, cinematography.....everything is absolutely perfect. Somehow he was able to to get all our close family and friends in the video, I don't even know how that is possible but he was able to do it. But not only is Wes insanely talented, he was such a delight to work with. From the first email I sent and the follow up calls we had, Wes was patient and answered my million questions making the whole process extremely easy. I cannot recommend Wes enough, he was truly one of our favorite vendors and any bride & groom would be lucky to have him and his team for their wedding day!

    I told Wes before I even met Matt that he would be filming my wedding after seeing his work. It was one of the best investments I made in my wedding. Wes has such a talent in making a beautiful video come together. I know my husband and I will cherish our film for many years to come. It was great to relive the day- being so busy it was went by so fast and I'm so glad I can look back on the joy of our marriage. If you're second guessing getting a wedding film don't- just do it and pick Wes because he will deliver something that feels magical!

    Words cannot truly describe the AMAZING job Wes and his team did capturing our wedding day. He captured our friends and family enjoying our wedding day and captured all of the memories we wanted to have for years to come. Wes was quick with his responses and so professional in all of his communication. He and his team blended into our day and were hardly noticeable, but that allowed them to really be a part of the day and get all the fun details! We have wedding videos that we will treasure forever and that is all thanks to Wes!

    Wes and his team are so incredibly talented. When I was originally shopping for a videographer I noticed all the videos were the exact same. It was the same footage but different people. When I discovered Wes I instantly noticed he had a special talent no one else seemed to have. He's an artist, has a unique vision and executes it so well. His editing skills are perfection and his videos look like mini movies. Wes was also so easy to work with and extremely nice.
    I highly recommend Wes as a videographer. You won't regret it I promise!

    We honestly cannot say enough about how impressed we are with Wes Raitt! Both he and his assistant were absolutely wonderful!

    We initially reached out to him about 8 months before our wedding and we knew instantly that we wanted him to be our videographer. My fiance and I were looking for something that was beautiful and something that captured all of the traditional aspects, but in a way that reflected us and our day in a unique way. After watching his previous work, it was exactly what we were hoping for.
    From the very first phone conversation, Wes was extremely professional and organized. He was able to answer all of our questions and also took alot of time to get to know us and our style, taking into consideration any and all special requests that we had.

    On the actual wedding day, Wes and his assistant were punctual, non-obtrusive, and an overall joy to work with. I've received nothing but compliments from guests and other vendors about how sweet and professional they were throughout the entire day! He put our minds at ease, and made us feel completely relaxed about everything (amid the stress of an already exciting day)!

    Looking at the video, Wes has exceeded all expectations that we had. It was beyond everything that we were hoping for! He had gone out before the wedding day to scout and film the location, and it was gorgeous in the film. His attention to detail and the ability to capture the emotion made us feel like we were re-living it! Its not at all your typical, cookie-cutter wedding video, it has an amazing cinematic quality about it that makes you feel like you're watching a movie! We could not be happier with it and we cannot stop watching it :)

    We are so thrilled we selected Wes to be a part of our team, and I would recommend him to everyone and anyone wanting a beautifully exceptional film to commemorate their most special day!

    Wes Raitt went above and beyond with our wedding video- we are so pleased! My husband was originally hesitant about the need for a video but once he saw samples of Wes Raitt’s work- he was sold! Our video exceeded our expectations and I am so thankful we hired Wes to document the most amazing day of our lives. The Wes Raitt team is so professional and they were a lot of fun to work with on the actual wedding day. I wouldn’t look any further for a videographer, he is the best of the best!

    Absolutely AMAZING! It is so hard to explain how much this video means to my husband and I, but I will try! Wes and his team gave us the best gift and memoir a newlywed couple can receive. We are without a doubt ecstatic, thankful, and truly impressed with the quality of video we received. You will not find a videographer/cinematographer that puts as much time, effort and personalization as Wes Raitt. He was there before anyone and the last to leave. Wes captured every minut detail of our big day, and watching the video is like reliving the whole day over again! Wes and his team were professional, timely, worked with our budget, and our blessing on one of the most stressful days of our lives. I honestly got more than what I paid for, and then some! He is amazingly talented! When watching our video, we don't remember the stress, or restlessness, we remember the outpouring of love and time spent with our family and friends. After watching our video about 1,000 times, I've yet to not shed a tear. That's how personal and realistic his videos are. It puts you right back on that aisle, walking towards the man of your dreams! I strongly reccomend Wes to ANY bride looking, or not looking (you need one), for a videographer. You will not regret get the gift of a lifetime!

    Wes and his team are AMAZING!!!!
    They are simply the best at what they do: great value, very easy to communicate with and will give you a beautiful wedding video to cherish forever! I wasn't sure if I needed a videographer but we are so happy that we decided to hire Wes. He is a vendor that I would classify as an absolute "must hire!" On the day of, he and his team never got in the way and were very accommodating to our photographer (didn't ruin a single photo). They also provided us with a video that is truly a work of art and captures our personalities in such a unique way. No generic videos here! We are very pleased. Highly recommend Wes Raitt!!!!!

    We cannot say enough about Wes!! Wes and his 2nd videographer were extremely professional and unobtrusive during the ceremony and reception for our wedding. They were also very enjoyable to talk to and work with. We only used Wes for videography as we had already booked our photographer by the time we found him - he was willing to (and did so) coordinate and work well with our photographer to not be in each others way.

    The actual video he produced far and away exceeded our expectations. He went above and beyond to create a beautiful tribute that we are both so thankful to have and will be able to take with us for the rest of our lives. He did an amazing job not only capturing all parts of the day, but his footage and editing were able to perfectly show just how much fun was had by everyone throughout the entire time. We've barely had it a week and have probably watched it over a dozen times. We would not hesitate to work with him again and would absolutely recommend him to anyone. Thank you!

    From the first conversation with Wes I knew he was going to be a great fit for us. He was knowledgeable, insightful and easy to speak with. He asked guided questions that helped us envision how to best capture our special moments. After Wes toured our wedding and reception site he identified shots that make the most of the venue and available light, and integrated those into the shot we had suggested.

    On our wedding day Wes was seamlessly integrated into the entire event- from the time when the bridal party was having our hair and makeup done, to the ceremony, and the reception. He got along wonderfully with friends and family, like a natural. He had great finesse as he wrangled guests of all ages and personalities into our "posed" photos.

    I was beyond delighted when Wes shared our photos with us. He uploaded them to an easy-to-use site, organized by theme (getting ready, ceremony, etc) that allowed us to easily download and share the images. The quality and color of the photos is more than I had hoped for. More importantly- the moments he captured are priceless. We have photos of glances, smiles, dances and laughter that we'll always remember thanks to Wes. He was even able to memorialize our fireworks show.

    In short- Wes is a true talent and a joy to work with. You won't be disappointed if you hire him for your wedding, or any special occasion.

    Wes is awesome. He was the perfect fit for us as a wedding videographer, and I'm so very glad we made the decision to hire one, and I'm especially glad it was him!

    Wes was amazingly attentive to detail throughout our wedding day, and did it all seamlessly with the other vendors (something important I hadn't considered when compiling my wedding day vendors!). He arrived several hours early to get to know the layout of the venue, meet the vendors, and plan his shots. He was so kind and nice during the day that I wish I had gotten to spend more time with him!

    Wes was our only cameraperson, but he still managed to get shots from absolutely every angle! From watching the video it looks like he was everywhere at once, but I barely remember seeing him at all! He really knows what he is doing to get just the right shots in the way that doesn't disrupt the beauty of the ceremony.

    One of my favorite features was Wes' day of edit clip that he made for us as a surprise at our reception. By the time we were going into the reception he had already made a 30 second clip of our ceremony! I don't know how he did it, and it was such a special gift on that day to already have that.

    I really can't recommend Wes highly enough. He is so kind, and oh so knowledgeable and professional in his craft. I'm so very thankful that we had him on our wedding day!
