Is it possible to give 6 stars? Finding a videographer was easily one of the most stressful parts of the wedding planning process. While we had been given solid recommendations by our wedding planner, the style of so many videographers felt cut and paste and not very interesting after a while. As an interracial couple with both light and dark skin tones, we wanted a time capsule that felt true to us and that didn't use lighting to fit a uniform aesthetic. We knew how special we wanted our vows in particular to feel and finding the right person to capture that on film was a more daunting task than we had anticipated. And then we found Shawn and Philly Wedding Films. From his warm and friendly demeanor to the unforgettable documentary style filmmaking he uses, all of their displayed wedding videos really stood out to us as unique. With Philly Wedding Films, there's no one size fits all approach to making a wedding video, just as there's no one size fits all to planning a wedding or to love! Shawn really takes the time to get to know you as a couple and outline what your goals are. From there, he uses his incredible creativity to suggest romantic ideas that another videographer might not i.e. our video opened up with voicemail messages we left to one another the morning of our wedding! We can't emphasize it enough - Shawn and his team will go above and beyond on your video and make you feel so special. We purchased a 5-7 minute video in our initial package but Shawn ended up creating a nearly 10 minute video for us because of the amount of footage we had and to make it as meaningful as possible. **Side note from the Bride - I have watched our video at least once every day since we got it and honestly it's taking time away from work I need to get done lol.** In what is an increasingly crowded market for wedding videography, make the easiest decision possible and hire Shawn and Philly Wedding Films!! Thank you thank you thank you!
