    Whole Cowan was amazing to work with! They caught every moment from our wedding and really focused on capturing the feeling throughout the day. They were very professional and organized. I would definitely recommend them!

    10/10 for Wholly Cowen - they called me within a hot second of me submitting my interest on their website. I went from "I really wish I could afford to get a videographer" to "I'm making this happen" because they were willing to work with me and find a package that fit our budget. Megan was in charge of the team that filmed our wedding and they did a wonderful job. They were even willing to film a few things afterwards that didn't get captured the day of. They were present for every moment that mattered and knew how to shoot in a way that captured the best angle, image, and moment. They were extremely sensitive to knowing how to stay professional and helpful during the more stressful moments. I barely noticed they were there and they never made the day more difficult, they only made it better.

    Phil & Megan were incredible to work with. They took time to get to know my fiancee and I before the wedding to make sure that they told our story in a way that fit us. The wedding day with them was an absolute blast and we laughed so much. They were incredibly accommodating to our Sunday morning brunch wedding and offered us fair prices for the time they would actually be there shooting. We are so excited to see our finished video.

    Phil and Megan were wonderful to work with! I had to convince my husband that a video of our wedding would be worth it. When we originally met with Phil and Megan, to talk with them about possibly having them do the video for our wedding, we left the meeting thinking "they are great, we just want to hang out and be friends with them". Making our love story video was a blast and they took a small idea I had and made it great. We showed our love story video at our wedding reception, instead of a slideshow, and it was a total hit! Everyone loved it! On the day of our wedding Megan was so professional and calm. The day was very hectic as I expected, but she did a great job of staying in the background and doing her thing. She spoke up and asked questions when she needed me, but allowed me to really be present in our day and soak up what was happening. I really felt like I could just trust her to speak up for what she needed to get great moments for our wedding video. Even better.....we had a two day wedding...we did a small wedding and reception one night, the next night we had a causal party with our friends....Phil and Megan came to BOTH events! It is so special to us to have footage from both evenings, because both were very important to us. Not only did they come the second evening, but they stayed all night! They got interviews with our parents, our pastor and our wedding party. We are beyond excited to see the video of our wedding. We would highly recommend Wholly Cowen for your wedding video!! And we can't wait to hang out with our new friends soon!

    My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Phil and Megan in making our love story video happen. The finished product was better than we ever could have imagined. They took our idea and ran with it which we were extremely grateful for. Our wedding day was hectic, as expected, and they were very professional and patient with us. The cameramen did not get in the way at all and I sometimes forgot they were even there! I am so excited to see the finished wedding film, I'm sure it will be amazing. Thanks Wholly Cowen!

    When we watched our wedding DVD, we were absolutely blown away with what we watched. It brought back so many amazing feelings and emotions I forgot I even experienced that day. I had tears multiple times. You two are truly talented and it was an absolute pleasure to work with you! You made us feel so comfortable throughout the months leading up to our wedding and the day of. The money we spent on your incredible service was hands down the best money we spent on the entire wedding. So, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!!

    My husband and I had the most amazing time filming with Wholly Cowen! Very professional but yet very relatable and friendly, it was like he fit right in with the family and all our friends! They captured our day so well, words cant even explain how awesome we thought our video was! We got so many compliments from our friends and family! We highly highly recommend them for a wedding videographer!

    It's hard for me to even come up with words to express how glad I am we went with Wholly Cowen. Our video exceeded my expectations! When we first met with Phil to discuss a potential of hiring them, I was blown away by how personable he was, and how comfortable he made us feel! We got to meet with both Phil and Megan to go over EXACTLY what we wanted our video to be. I felt like they made our video very unique to us and our day, and I never felt like it was "just another video" to them. Our wedding was originally supposed to be outside, but due to rain it had to be moved indoors. Once we told Phil and Megan, they went to work setting up everything for this last minute change. They were so professional and it set me at ease to know that they knew exactly what they were doing and no extra stress was put on me. Originally, I was concerned about putting a majority of our budget towards these videos, and now that I've seen the final result, I would do it again in a heart beat. It is amazing to be able to watch the day over and over again. It instantly puts a smile on my face, and is something that both my husband and I can watch for many, many years. We were so blessed to be able to share our day with Wholly Cowen, and once they were done filming, we wanted them to stay just to party with us! Phil and Megan are AMAZING to work with!

    We loved every second of our experience with Phil and Megan Cowen of Wholly Cowen Cinematography! They were so much fun to work with and a very creative couple! They were always easy to contact and very flexible with meeting times. Their quality of work is fantastic and my husband and I absolutely loved our wedding video and our Love Story video that they did for us. They really captured our personality! They showed professionalism, passion for their work, and they were fun to work with. We highly recommend them!

    Megan and Phil were amazing. They were timely and efficient. I felt they wasted no time getting the quality shots that both myself and they wanted. They worked with my husband, bridal party, and myself to make sure the video was exactly what would make my husband and I happy with the final product. They always held themselves well and were professional in appearance and actions throughout the entire process. We always felt comfortable and at ease and like we could be ourselves. We had to switch times on them numerous times and they were always willing to do what worked best for me. The value I received from the services was more than I ever expected. I work with an event location and will be recommending them to all of our brides in the future. I could not have expected anything better than I received.

    Thank you Phil Cowen and crew for doing such awesome work with editing and presenting Stasha and Vik's Wedding! You guys were very flexible and never in the way, making sure every thing was covered starting with the Mehendi ceremonies ,wedding and reception.
    Phil was very mindful of our traditions, making sure they got every footage of the elaborate ceremonies etc. Covering an Indian wedding is difficult in itself ! This was their first Indian wedding, it never showed in the quality of work they put out. We are very impressed with the thorough professionalism and immensely pleased with the finished product.
    Thank you once again Wholly Cowen Cinematography for the Video coverage of our daughter's wedding, which I'm sure we will cherish for years to come! Dr. & Mrs. Razack

    When I decided to get a videographer for my wedding, I was not 100% sure that I needed one. If you're like me and on the fence, get one and hire these guys- you won't regret it! I decided to work with Phil and Megan from Wholly Cowen Cinematography and it's one of the better decisions I made during the wedding planning process. They were very professional and accommodating. We got married at a new hotel that was under construction up until a few weeks of the wedding so there were a lot of unknowns up until the day, however, I felt very comfortable with my decision to work with Wholly Cowen. We have such a fun highlight reel to share with our family and friends, and the final product is nothing short of spectacular! Very happy clients! :)

    I highly recommend getting your wedding day captured on video if you are on the fence about it. We don't have a single regret and are so thankful that our big day was captured and edited so beautifully! It will be so fun to watch on our anniversaries and it is a nice keepsake for our children and grandchildren. Worth every single penny!
