“It's hard to capture a romance that has lasted well over a decade, but Justin & Steph from American Rose Weddings did just that in the 15+ collective hours we spent with them. During the wedding planning process, securing a videographer was the last vendor we booked. Not because we were dragging our feet, but because we we could not find a videographer who matched our vision. We wanted the day to be remembered in a unique, authentic, timeless, and intimate way, but most of all, we wanted it to feel like "us." We wanted a videographer who could capture the small details that oftentimes go unnoticed during the day, but paint best picture of who the couple is. We didn't someone to just film the day, add orchestra audio, and call it a day. We wanted a unique storytelling experience from start to finish with someone who was a skilled cinematographer. After Skyping with Justin (and him showing me his collection of super8 cameras which was SO cool), I knew that it was a perfect match. We met Justin & Steph in-person during a couples shoot at our home. Immediately, we formed a connection. They were so easy to be around and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I could see the wheels turning in Justin's mind as the camera rolled, and I immediately could tell that Justin & Steph already knew what kind of story we wanted to have told. When the big day arrived, they were a calming presence in a swarm of craziness. After the wedding, we met up with Justin & Steph at a brewery to finish recording reading our letters to each other. This was the moment that reminded my husband and I that not only did we luck out in the wedding vendor department, but we just gained 2 new amazing friends. When we received the sneak peek and full video suite back (very promptly, I might add!), we could not believe what was in front of us. It was more than we could have ever hoped for. It was unlike any other wedding film we had seen before. It captured our romance and special day so perfectly. As my mom said, the video looked like a "a true Hollywood film." Working with Justin & Steph was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. When we look back fondly on 7/24/21, they are the reason that we will be able to do so clearly.”
