Best Made Videos

Many of our friends told us to get a wedding videographer, and I’m not only glad that we did — I’m so happy we chose Reid at Best Made Videos. When we were choosing our vendors, we put a lot of thought into finding people who would bring great energy to a day that can be hectic, emotional, and full of movement. Reid did exactly that — he kept the vibes high all day and truly added to the fun of our wedding. He even stepped in to advocate for us when we noticed our ceremony setup wasn’t quite what we wanted but didn’t feel comfortable speaking up in the moment. Reid went above and beyond in every way — he sent us content the very next day (which is almost unheard of), and the final video he created is absolutely stunning. On top of that, he shared all of the footage he captured without charging extra, unlike many videographers we spoke with. Throughout the entire process, he was incredibly responsive and even checked in with warm, thoughtful messages leading up to the big day. We truly couldn’t recommend him more — whether you’re looking for a videographer or still debating if it’s worth having one, trust us, it is.

My husband and I got married on September 7th, 2024. A week and a half before our wedding day, our videographer had to cancel on us due to a family emergency. We knew that having a wedding video was not necessarily a necessity, but it was something we really, really wanted to remember our day forever. By August 31st, just one week before our wedding we got linked up with Reid by a crazy chain of connections through family friends and social media. Reid was game and ready to save the day!! Which he absolutely did. I truly believe Reid is always who was meant to video our wedding. He showed up more than prepared, with lots of energy, and captured our day perfectly. He met every need we asked of him on such a short time frame. The turn around time for him delivering video was so impressive. You can tell that this is a passion of his and something he loves doing- it is evident in the work he produces. Everyone we show our video to is so impressed and we are so beyond happy with the outcome. It is something that we will watch forever and get to show our kids and grandkids in the many years to come. We cannot thank Reid enough for saving the day and showing up for us. We would 1000% recommend him to any couples planning their wedding and looking for a videographer.

We were referred to Best Made Videos by our wedding planners. We spent $2,070 for a ceremony live stream and a video guest book. Leading up to our wedding Reid was HANDS DOWN our favorite vendor. He was flexible in working with us on our contract scope, incredibly responsive over email, and had very helpful suggestions along the way. The day of our wedding we even told him he was our favorite vendor because he’s just so darn nice and easy to work with. Because I really like Reid, I sincerely wish I could say we were happy with the quality of the videos. Unfortunately, that’s just not the case. For the ceremony live stream, there were two big issues: 1) live stream camera angles that highlighted the parking lot rather than the gorgeous greenhouse, trees, or the canal and 2) turning the groom's mic on too soon so that private conversations were live streamed. For the video guest book, it did not look professional AT ALL. The entries had poor lighting, inconsistent audio, and an ugly background. The video guest book was supposed to have a background in front of a large window with trees and the canal as the backdrop. This information was sent to Reid from our wedding planners 11 days before the wedding. Unfortunately, on our wedding day of there was a miscommunication and Reid set up in a poorly lit corner that prominently featured the parking lot, the thermostat, and the fire alarm. I know that this was only partially his fault (my understanding is that our planners screwed up and directed him to set up there), but it was a huge disappointment and we wish he would have spoken up and adhered to our original game plan. In addition to the lighting and the ugly background, during some of the video guest book entries you can see the videographer adjusting the microphone stand. There were also several audio issues where the microphone (provided by Best Made Videos) appears to cut out halfway through the video entry. In summary, as much as Reid is the nicest guy and I sincerely wish him the best, I would never trust him to capture once-in-a-lifetime video memories again.

Reid was great to work with. He answered all of our questions and helped make this a very easy decision. He was able to capture my entire wedding day from when I started getting ready, our first look, venue shots, and our send off. This was one of the best decisions we made and are grateful that he was able to capture all of our special moments for us to be able to look back on in the years to come. Reid did a wonderful job! I would highly recommend him for your wedding videographer!

Reid est INCROYABLE ! Non seulement il est extrêmement professionnel, mais il est aussi gentil, drôle et c'était un plaisir de l'avoir à nos côtés le Jour J. L'organisation du mariage peut être stressante, mais nous n'avons jamais eu à nous préoccuper de la vidéographie pour notre mariage, car Reid était super réactif, organisé et a fait un travail merveilleux. Je ne peux pas recommander Reid assez. Une semaine seulement après notre mariage, nous avions toutes nos vidéos ! Nous sommes tellement reconnaissants de l'avoir engagé et nous chérirons nos vidéos de mariage pour toujours !
