2012

Throughout our wedding planning process, we had decided early on that we did not want to have a videographer, as we thought it would be a distraction and something that wasn't necessary if we already had a photographer. However, during the last few weeks leading up to our wedding, after being told by countless people how they loved their wedding video, we started to reconsider. Our wedding planner, 2-3 weeks before our wedding, recommended Jaysin at NightOwls to us.

Because of the rushed booking, we actually did not meet Jasyin until the day of our wedding. We did e-mail with him, and he was really wonderful about being booked so last minute, and willing to negotiate a bit on price, which was really nice.

We had hired Jaysin just to film our ceremony and through our first dance. We were pleasantly surprised that he did arrive about a half hour before the ceremony and did get some footage of the preparations, which was really nice. Having not discussed much of what we had wanted from our video beforehand, we weren't really sure what to expect when viewing the video, but we definitely loved it. He did capture some small moments among the big speeches and dances that we really loved, and we liked his creativity in the editing, as well.

I think the thing that blew us away about Jaysin was his attitude. On our wedding day, he may have been even more excited than us - he seemed so genuinely happy to be a part of the day and enthusiastic that he felt as if he was almost a part of our bridal party! You can really tell he has a passion for what he does, and is probably one of the nicest people I have ever met. He was able to go with the flow when there were a few glitches in our day, and actually manage to capture cool footage during those times as well. From start to finish, it was an absolute delight working with Jaysin - I would recommend hiring him as a wedding videographer, and book him as soon as possible - don't wait until the last minute like we did!
