Awarded Best of Zola
From the first email I sent all the way until now (not even a week after the wedding) Steve Weber has been so quick to respond with very helpful information. He was so reliable throughout the entire process and very professional. He was absolutely amazing to work with, from the constant communication about plans, changes, details, and more changes (thanks COVID-19). He was so helpful throughout the whole process, even helping out with details of how the ceremony and reception would go when we were unsure about what to do. He came to rehearsal to get a feel for how he would set up during the ceremony and he was with me throughout the entire day of the wedding capturing all the best moments. His work is absolutely phenomenal with a super quick turnaround! I could not have asked for a better videographer than him. The quality of his work is seriously impeccable and he went above and beyond any of our expectations. My family and friends that were not able to attend have loved the highlight film he provided us just days after the wedding! I am so glad I stumbled across his name in a magazine I picked up walking out of a potential venue. I could not have asked for anyone better to capture such a special day in our lives. I could keep going about how much we loved him but this review would go on forever. I would definitely recommend him to anyone for their videographer needs! We will definitely use him again in the future!
