“I looked at SO MANY wedding videos and they were all so similar and cookie cutter. They were lacking something but I couldn’t put my finger on it. THEN I FOUND JIMMY SHIN. I watched his videos and found myself sobbing at strangers videos! He made me feel like I knew the bride and groom after just 7 minutes. He's so good! Jimmy will take your wedding video and turn it into the most beautiful story. The video he made for us just so beautifully captured my husband and I's day! It's a video i'll cherish for the rest of my life. I can't wait for our kids to be able to watch it. UGH, seriously hire this man and you won't regret it.

“Steve was such a pleasure to work with from start to finish! He was invested in what was important to us to capture while also doing what he does best and getting us incredible footage we never would have thought to get. He did all of this so seamlessly--he was so calm throughout the whole wedding day. He worked really well with our photographer and was a great team player. We felt so supported by Steve, and never felt like it was "just another wedding" to him. We felt like old friends by the end of the night. Our video turned out better than I could have imagined, and that is coming from someone who grew up watching beautiful YouTube videos of strangers' weddings and just wishing I could have the same one day. Well, Steve exceeded my high expectations! He is such an artist and is so creative. Our video is like a fairytale and we can't stop watching it. You want the best of the best entrusted with the task of capturing your special day, and Steve is just that!”

“TLDR; Highly recommended! I can’t say enough wonderful things about our wedding videographer, Desmond! From the very start, his communication was exceptional—he reached out proactively, making the entire planning process so much smoother and less stressful. His punctuality and meticulous planning leading up to the wedding were a godsend during the stressful wedding planning process. What truly set him apart was his dedication to customizing our wedding video. He didn’t just capture generic moments; he went all out to tell our unique story. For example, he asked how we met and encouraged us to share our love story. Although my partner and I have been together for 13 years and thought our story might be too ordinary, Desmond captured the essence of our deep friendship, bond, and love for one another. We may see our relationship as casual, but he beautifully highlighted the family-like connection we share. Additionally, he generously suggested capturing our pre-day rehearsal dinner, an intimate gathering with just family and close friends and seamlessly incorporated it into the final video. Despite the challenging weather on the rehearsal day—rain and wind—he didn’t let it hinder his efforts. He captured the most authentic and memorable moments, proving his commitment and skill. Traveling from DC to Boston for our wedding, he ensured that all coordination was flawless, which was crucial for the wedding weekend. The beautiful aerial shots he included, capturing the mood and ambiance of the day, were the cherry on top of an already fantastic video. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and are so grateful for his exceptional work.”

“Finding the right videographer was incredibly important to us because we wanted more than just photos. We wanted to capture the voices, the laughter, the tears, the movement—every emotion that made our day unforgettable. At first, we struggled to find a connection with the work we saw, but after months of searching online, we came across Alex V Films, and his work left a lasting impression on us. It was exactly what we had been searching for. From the moment we met Alex, his warm personality and passion for his craft put us completely at ease. He took the time to understand our vision, showing incredible attention to detail and truly listening to what we wanted. His talent for capturing not only the big moments but also those small, candid interactions brought everything to life in a way we could only dream of. Alex was able to beautifully weave our vows into the movement and storytelling of our film, bringing each word to life. In my vows, I shared a memory about my papa. As he approached his final days, I asked him, “Papa, what can you tell me about love?” He gently touched his chest and said, “You feel it in your heart.” Alex captured this moment with such care; as I spoke the words, “my papa touched his chest,” the video transitioned to my wife, sliding her hand gently down my chest, mirroring my papa’s gesture. It was as if he had breathed life into our vows, capturing not just the words, but the emotion and legacy behind them. Alex made the experience of working with him enjoyable. Throughout the process, his communication was top-notch, and professionalism shone through every step of the way. He was attentive of our needs and made the process easy. Alex didn’t just record our day—he captured its essence. Every look, every laugh, every precious detail we wanted to hold onto is now a part of a beautiful memory we’ll cherish for a lifetime. These are moments that photos alone could never fully capture; they’re filled with emotions that will be felt and connected to for years to come. At the beginning of this process, Alex was a stranger. As we got to know him we felt as though he became a friend. We’re forever grateful to have found Alex, who created more than just a video—he created a keepsake of our love and joy that we will cherish for a lifetime.”

He also provides a list of suggested do's and dont's that you wouldn't realize have an impact on the video - it was so helpful!! Before the wedding he also has a prep call to go over all the details and any notes/requests we have for the videos (vibe we're looking for, any cinematic requests, song requests, etc.) He was another great presence to have the day of! We haven't gotten the video back yet but right after our wedding we got an email that lists out all the steps they take throughout video production.

“My husband and I had the pleasure of having Emelie shoot the video for our wedding in April 2020. When we chose Emelie we had planned a large extravagant wedding at our venue with 250+ people. With the pandemic hitting our country just the month before our big day we were stuck with a ton of options and not really knowing what to do. We decided to go through with our wedding plans on our original day but we were only allowed to have 10 people there- including ourselves. There was absolutely no doubt in my mind that Emelie would be one of those 10 people no matter what, and I have never regretted that decision. Emelie captured our day and our love perfectly. I think my favorite thing about her is that she is so quiet that you barely realize she is there but the creative juices are flowing through her and that really shows in all of her videos. My favorite thing to do (probably once a week) is watch our video and cry many happy tears. I love the way she tells all of her couples love stories, but especially ours. My best advice is if you’re thinking about video but don’t know how to fit it in your budget- FIND A WAY! Save all the pennies and throw them toward Emelie. You will never regret it.”
