I 100% would use Fine Art Wedding Film again! Desmond is kind, responsive, creative and professional. Desmond came in and got right to work. He communicated what he was envisioning and directed us very well. He got all the content we discussed without being "overbearing". My husband and I actually enjoyed our wedding and Desmond filmed exactly that! He worked well with our photographers as well! Our wedding film is amazing! Our faces hurt watching it because we were smiling the entire time we watched it.

I knew of Caitlin from a friend's wedding that had happened months before our wedding. Caitlin came in highly recommended and I didn't hesitate to reach out to her. She reached back within a day or so, very fast and we had an initial call. I knew Caitlin would be a great fit because of her previous experience in weddings that incorporate culture and tradition mostly throughout the wedding and specifically a Kenyan wedding. Caitlin was amazing to work with throughout the whole experience even after the big day. Caitlin was extremely patient, very kind, relatable, timely on our meetings, great communicator, curious so she doesn't miss any important moments we wanted captured during our day and made the stress of finding a videographer non-existent. LETS GET TO THE PRODUCT BECAUSE SHE DELIVERED!! OVER DELIVERED! Just beautiful videos, the quality is unmatched, the flow is beautiful, I am always re-watching our wedding videos from the trailer to the highlight to the ceremony, speeches and first dance. How she even found some Kenyan music that we didn't even suggest to match with the videos left us speechless. Everyone who has watched our wedding videos are in awe! If you are reading this review and the other reviews about Caitlin, don't even think twice about having her capture whatever beautiful moments in your life you want to always keep re-watching and every time you re-watch it's like you are watching it for the first time. Thank you Caitlin for all your hard work and walking with us throughout our wedding journey! Daniel and I are forever grateful to you.

First of all, I have to say that Joel truly captured the essence and magic of our special day in a way that exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we first spoke to him, he was friendly, professional, and so passionate about his craft. He took the time to get to know us and understand exactly what we were looking for in terms of our wedding video. On the day of our wedding, Joel was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was always there, capturing all of the important moments, but somehow managed to stay in the background and never felt intrusive. He had a keen eye for the little details and managed to capture all of the emotions, the joy, the tears, and the laughter of the day in a way that was truly breathtaking. When we received our wedding video, we were completely blown away. It was so much more than we ever could have hoped for. Joel had edited together all of the best moments of our wedding and had set them to the perfect soundtrack, creating a beautiful and emotional story of our day. The quality of the footage was stunning, and the attention to detail was impeccable. Overall, I can't recommend Joel highly enough. He is an incredibly talented and professional videographer who clearly loves what he does. He made the whole process so easy and stress-free, and the end result was a truly beautiful and timeless wedding video that we will treasure forever. Thank you so much, Joel!

i grew up in europe and from the age of 10 used analogue film cameras. i eventually became a fashion/people photographer in milan, austria, new york city and LA. the nostalgia of polaroids inspired me to make weddings films in a more abstract and ephemeral way, like dreams. my films aim to provide a glimpse of what it felt like on your day, conveying an unmistakable essence about you and the experience.

Working with Michael from start to finish was absolutely lovely! He is a true artist. He genuinely got to know us and our story beforehand, and by the time we finally met - he felt like an old friend. From the moment they arrived, he and his assistant were ninjas, getting everything from drone shots (!?) to go-pro footage of the groomsmen in the pool. He never hesitated to throw out amazing ideas and things we could capture. Once we finally had the video - we were ecstatic. It blew our minds! It basically should go to Sundance. But really... wow, we wept looking at the most joyous day of our life be reflected to us in such a cinematic and intimate way. This was not your regular wedding video. It was spectacular! We had a chance to show some of our closest friends right away, and of course, everyone was in love with it, and the consensus was, "This is LITERALLY A FILM!" "This filmmaker is incredible," lots of tears, laughs, smiles etc etc :) We absolutely agree. I can't express enough how awesome Michael is; we LOVE his work! Thank you, thank you, thank you. We are so grateful to have had him as part of our day! To sum it up, he is an absolute pleasure to work with; he has an incredible eye and is professional, collaborative, and kind.

With nearly a decade of experience, Ethan Monroe is the storyteller, photographer, and filmmaker behind Monroe Films. Specializing in crafting authentic and cinematic wedding films, Ethan’s work is driven by personality—he and his team are dedicated to providing a personal, memorable experience from start to finish. Their goal is to tell your story with honesty, passion, and creativity, capturing the moments that matter most. Above all, Monroe Films delivers a timeless piece of art that allows you to relive your most cherished memories for years to come.

Ethan was hands down the best investment we made in our wedding. Leading up to the wedding, Ethan was attentive, detailed, professional, and thoughtful when it came to our contract. He was honest and fair about his pricing (which is excellent), and he was thorough when answering our questions. As a former wedding planner, I can say with absolute certainty that I would hire Ethan as a preferred vendor without question. As magical as the day was, when we were on our way back to the hotel after the reception, we couldn't help but feel that the whole thing flew by in the blink of an eye and that we missed the little moments everyone told us to hold on to in the days leading up to the wedding. Not even 12 hours later, Ethan completely put those fears to rest. When we got our first trailer (the very next day!), we were stunned at how he was able to capture the smallest details and the biggest love of the whole wedding in just a 60 second video. And then when we received our highlight film a few weeks later, those feelings were amplified. He didn't just capture the big and small moments of the day; he captured our personalities, our stories, and our love. We couldn't recommend Ethan enough. He knows what he is doing and he knows better than anyone how to translate your story into a remarkable film. We can't wait to work with him again for future family events!
