Caroline + Tony

2015

No words could truly express our gratitude for your work, and more importantly, YOU! You have been so involved in our wedding, from the very beginning. With that said... I feel like it's only fair to write you a review for three stages: before, during, and after our wedding. :)

 

Let me preface this with saying, I am obsessed with all things video and photo when it comes to weddings, even before getting engaged... so I was SUPER picky in choosing my videographer. After weeding out DOZENS of potential videographers, and watching hours of his wedding trailers, I set up an appointment to meet with Night Owls.

 

Another preface: this review will sound like I am writing a review about a friend. I did not know Jaysin, at all before meeting him professionally, so I am truly reviewing upon our professional relationship... which in the end... he will turn out to be a great friend of yours. :)

 

BEFORE our wedding: Upon meeting Jaysin, we were met with the biggest smile, and an even bigger heart. Jaysin's excitement for his work, as well as people is unreal. All wedding vendors have to act like they are excited when meeting a couple, it's part of their job. But Jaysin? I truly felt like he was beyond ecstatic from a deep genuine place... we fell in love with him instantly. He was so excited to hear our story and I instantly felt like he was our biggest fan. His presentation was well organized, detailed, and exciting. We didn't look any further, signed him on the spot. He encouraged us to be sure, he didn't want us to feel obligated to sign. NO WAY, we are signing! LOVED HIM! Throughout the wedding planning process, Jaysin was as involved as any of my friends. Helped throw me other wedding vendor recommendations, helped talk with me to make some detailed decisions, even helped me through a timeline crisis at 12am the week of my wedding. A videographer doesn't need to do any of this... he genuinely wants to help and WILL help and will calm down any of your panics.

 

DURING our wedding: Jaysin showed up to our hotel room, as excited as I was. All my bridesmaids talked about how he put them at ease, and how comfortable they felt around him. Some were worried "a guy in the room while we get ready?". After he chatted and made them feel comfortable, he seemed to camouflage into the day. He caught so many special moments, and would preview us special sneak peeks throughout the day, only getting us more excited. He had so many great ideas. The smile never left his face, and I felt like he was there most as a friend than a vendor - with how happy he was for us, while busting his butt to get all our moments.

 

AFTER our wedding. Our wedding was on Saturday, today is Wednesday, and we already have our trailer!!! And let me tell you.... SPEECHLESS! I watched MANY of his trailers, if not all... so I had high expectations for our trailer. His trailer EXCEEDED my expectations. Not only did he deliver FAST, but the work and quality really showed his passion for not his work, but for us a couple. By seeing all my quirky faces that he caught, I can tell he really got to know us and strived to deliver our personality and our relationship in the video. And WOW. Just, WOW! My now husband... RARELY sheds a tear... HE TEARED UP watching the trailer. I was BAWLING... it was beyond perfect. BEYOND. It's one thing to have a good quality video, it's another thing for your videographer to truly capture the essence of who YOU are, and who you two are as a couple. I had people calling me in tears with how beautiful it was. No joke. JAYSIN, no words could thank you enough!

 

You don't need him to sell you... in fact, that is not his style. He is not pushy at all. But once you see his work, and meet him... stop your search. AND if your deciding whether or not to even get a videographer, think again. SO WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! As the bride and groom, there is so much of your wedding day that you won't even see! He will get it all, and make it look even more amazing!

 

Also, for those of you that have already booked with him and / or awaiting your trailer... I HIGHLY recommend you video record yourselves watching the video for the first time. I had tears flowing and jaw on the ground... and let me tell ya... this would be so amazing for Jaysin to see... I think he would love that in addition to any review. :)
