We're all about telling epic love stories – no cookie-cutter stuff here. Based in Miami but up for an adventure anywhere, we're not your average wedding videographers. Think of us as your partners in memory-making. We'll be there laughing, dancing, and capturing every crazy, beautiful moment. Our mission is simple: make your love shine. No rules, no boredom. Your love story is one-of-a-kind, and that's how we approach filming it. We're not just about the big scenes; we're into the little details, the stolen glances, the goofy grins – everything that makes your love yours.

We are so thrilled to be writing this review because we simply cannot speak highly enough of Trey and TreeHouse. We have never worked with video for another event before, so we weren’t sure quote what to look for, but came across Trey’s videos and could immediately tell they were something special. We’re both musicians and also appreciated how well the edits synced with the music as well. We were hoping that our wedding video would have a documentary feel — capturing the beautiful natural location in New York’s Catskill mountains and the feeling of our group of people coming together to celebrate us. It was a laid back wedding and a really amazing group of loved ones and we wanted to see and hear things that wouldn’t be captured in photos and we wouldn’t be able to take in at the time. Trey helped craft a specific package to meet our request and speaking to him it was clear he understood what we were hoping for and built on that vision with his perspective. Wow! Trey delivered!! He brought in a second shooter, Brent, who was so helpful in capturing the day. Not only were they truly amazing people to be around (all of our friends and family were so comfortable and at ease with them), they were exceptionally professional and skilled. They kept us calm and collected in the midst of details and a tight wedding day schedule. Watching the videos was an emotional experience because Trey managed to capture the feeling of the wedding celebration perfectly and get candid and intimate interviews with our friends and family that touched us (and were new to us) months after the wedding. It was clear just how carefully Trey had listened to us in our meetings leading up to the wedding — he heard us and did an amazing job bringing our dreams to life. I really wish I had videos like this capturing other important times in my life. If you are considering whether to get a videographer for your special event or wedding, you absolutely should. If you are considering Treehouse Creative, I cannot recommend it highly enough as people and as professionals! Seriously!

Josh and his team at Buxton Media Productions were a great company to work with from start to finish of our wedding. Josh was a great communicator and really understood from the beginning what we were wanting. Josh was also very helpful with timeline for the day and had great suggestions. He also worked very well with our photographer. The day of the wedding stayed on track with a lot of help from him and his team. We were able to enjoy the day along side him working to capture every moment. During our private vows I didn’t realize he and his team were there, but they still captured every moment. The quality of videos were amazing. After watching our ceremony video we were impressed with the sound quality and we were astonished by how many cameras he had around without us knowing they were there. Him and his team went above and beyond on our wedding day and showed real professionalism throughout the whole day. Josh was good on his delivery of videos from the sneak peak to the actual videos he sent. If you are thinking about getting a videographer don’t hesitate to book Buxton Media Production. You will not regret the choice and you will have captured memories you will cherish for years to come!

I looked at SO MANY wedding videos and they were all so similar and cookie cutter. They were lacking something but I couldn’t put my finger on it. THEN I FOUND JIMMY SHIN. I watched his videos and found myself sobbing at strangers videos! He made me feel like I knew the bride and groom after just 7 minutes. He's so good! Jimmy will take your wedding video and turn it into the most beautiful story. The video he made for us just so beautifully captured my husband and I's day!

I’ve spent over a decade painting love stories in motion—capturing not just moments, but the emotional truth behind them. My approach is rooted in trust and collaboration. I take the time to truly connect with each couple because I’ve found that the most meaningful films are created when my clients feel seen, heard, and understood. If you’re looking for a cinematic experience that lingers—where shots breathe, and your story is told with intentionality and emotional depth—I’d be honored to explore what we can create together. I don’t just show up with a camera; I show up ready to partner with you in crafting something heartfelt and lasting.

It’s easy to say in the moment how ammmmaaazzziiinnnnggg someone is. The high of the wedding definitely had me singing praises to all the wrong people. I will say that to date, I am still very happy with my wedding video. I got married 4/28/2019 in De Leon Springs, FL. Ehrpraim met with my (then fiancé) and I on Skype a few weeks before. We had nothing for him… what do you mean 'what theme do we have for our wedding?!?!?' We were the kind of bride and groom who had no idea of what we wanted but knew very well what we didn’t want. Ehpriam was awesome. It’s obvious he has been doing weddings forever… he was calm and cool while I’m sure I was seconds away from passing out. He talked us through everything, gave suggestions, listened (that was big). When the wedding day came I felt like I was 100% not prepared. It was Ehpriam and one other person (I think... i mean who can remember such details lol). They were professional and he had a great sense of humor. It was a hot day but they didn't complain. Ephriam smiled the entire time and that was so reassuring. The video process is kind of awkward but I can actually say I enjoyed myself. I really didn’t have to think about anything. He moved us around and gave directions. We didn’t ask questionsbecause… why would we? He knows what he is doing! One of my top moments at the wedding was when his assistant hid in 3 foot grass to hold my smoke bomb. We found out later there may have been garden snakes in there but I try to forget that bit of information. The preview and the video were amazing. If I had to do it again (im not lol) I would still pick EFP. I don’t remember seeing much of the cameras but they got all of the moments I was hopping for. I got top notch service for a fair price. I can’t complain. I know 50 years from now I will still tear up when I see my wedding video! I couldn't have asked for a better videographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was referred to Birch Fields by my cousin (who used Birch Fields for her wedding) 2 weeks before my June 2020 Covid wedding. We decided last minute to have the wedding even if it was just going to be immediate family. Because no extended family or friends were allowed at the time we wanted a way to record the day as if they were there. I had posted I was looking for someone to shoot on a VHS camcorder and film the whole wedding start to finish with no breaks just like old family videos we had growing up. Steven not only was up for the challenge, but spent his whole day capturing every detail of our wedding. We got copies of both 4k and VHS which is so special and cool. We were so impressed and absolutely loved Steven that we have since used him for my Sister-In-Laws baby shower and my Father-In-Laws 70s birthday party. Birch Fields is like family now!

I love coffee. I never leave home without it. I’m easy going. I love to chill. I’m a huge sports fan and I love watching Skip Bayless and others argue on Fox. Basketball was my first love and even in my thirties I still daydream about playing in the NBA. As a teenager, while most of my peers were listening to 2Pac and Biggie, I preferred Marvin Gaye, Al Green and The Temptations. I’ve been told that I have an old soul. At the end of the day I love life, I love my job and my customers always come first.

We worked with Lawrence for our wedding videography in August. He was super easy to work with and schedule, and provided a large number of options for our videography including different length videos/highlight reels as well as the raw footage for us to keep. Day of, he was very professional and thoughtful in his actions and behavior, and captured so much of our getting ready, ceremony, and reception. While we haven’t gotten a final product back from him yet (since its only been a few weeks since our event), we feel very confident with Lawrence’s work and are very excited to have this video keepsake for the future!

I really don't even know where to start!! From start to finish, Jazmin was so amazing, sweet and kind! My wedding video is SOOOO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL and makes me and my husband cry every time! Best decision EVER! Every single important moment of my wedding day was captured, even moments I didn't even realize were being filmed or moments I didn't think I needed! She never missed a beat and was so professional and amazing! The time, effort, and passion she puts into her work is something most people dream of, but me, my husband, and our families witnessed it firsthand, and it's so beautiful and comforting (especially on a stressful day like a wedding)! My guests LOVED her because she was so considerate of them as well, making sure she wasn't blocking their view if she could help it, and just being kind and interacting with them throughout the entire day! Months before my wedding, she was prompt, professional, communicative, and laid out everything as far as what we should expect before, during, and after our wedding. I am so so glad we went with Jazmin and Jayzie Kaye Wedding Films!! I don't plan on getting married again lol, but working with her is an experience I would repeat if I could! Thank you so much Jazmin for being the most beautiful human being (inside and out) that I have ever met! You are a true gift!

I became indulged in the story-telling of my wedding couples. Being surrounded by the excitement, sometimes nervous couples, and their loving families and friends made the filming such a rush. Then to have the honor to edit a film where their personalities and love shine through is the greatest privilege. I want to take them on a journey back in time to the most epic day where they laugh and cry with all their family and friends. I make films that last the ages. I love to think about how my couples might show their kids or even grandkids someday.

Trevor was simply amazing! After searching for weeks for the perfect videographer, we finally found Trevor Maloch. We wanted someone that we not only connected with, but also someone who was fun and pleasant to work with and that’s exactly what Trevor was for us. His pricing and packages were within our price range. Maloch Media provided us exactly what we were looking for in our wedding video and that was to make us feel like we were reliving the biggest day of our lives. We highly recommend Maloch Media.

Paul Hairston is an award winning and nation-wide wedding, documentary and commercial filmmaker for over 13 years. He loves anything and everything about human storytelling and creating impact through the medium of film. He strives to capture your special day with earnestness, trust and top shelf visuals. Throughout his career he has worked to blend vérité filmmaking with a production value those stories and emotions deserve, while never getting in your way. Providing painterly and elegant coverage with an unobtrusive but attentive presence that documents every unique detail is Paul’s goal with every film.

Paul and his assistant were absolutely amazing. I actually found him when googling videographers in my area and LOVED all his work as I could tell he took true pride in his films and caught all the little details of the weddings he videoed. When setting up a meeting, I realized he actually lived 4 hours away from me... BUT that didn't stop him! He was willing to travel with his assistant for a VERY cheap price and was there the whole time. He actually asked ME if he could come earlier to ensure he got all the little details on camera and capture every minute of us getting ready, etc. He was quick to respond throughout the whole planning process prior to the big day as well. Paul was in school for cinematography at the time which is very evident in his work as you can tell that film is his true passion in life through his work. We had no idea he was even there and he stayed until the very end (little did I know) to ensure he captured everything on film. As most brides (and grooms) do, we put a LOT of planning into our big days and a lot of thought into every single little detail. Of course your own wedding day is such a blur you never even get to appreciate all your hard work... but thanks to Paul, I am able to see every little part of the wedding from the place settings to all the little signs we had everywhere. He did an amazing job capturing every moment and I love my highlight film. Thanks to him, I get to witness and relive what was my dream wedding over and over again... I knew I wanted to hire him when his highlight films of complete strangers brought me to tears! He is now videoing my brother's wedding and a family friends... So Yes.... I HIGHLY recommend him :)"

I am Angela; owner, lead photographer, and wedding film director. My husband, Zac, is my favorite teammate and covers lead (gimbal) videography, or 2nd shooting (photography). We've been photographing and filming weddings together since 2010! He has a storytelling perspective, while I love details and intimacy. The tension between the two creates such a romantic vibe! When you need a larger team, we pull in our favorite colleagues - professionals in their own right - to work with us for the day. We have very close peer-vendor relationships with a solid group of amazing artists we work with regularly.

We can’t say enough about Angela and her team. Her professionalism, creativity and expertise made the picture taking and video of our wedding very special. It was very clear that they have extensive experience and we found ourselves being very comfortable working with them to capture the moments on our special day. Her follow-up and results truly exceeded our expectations and their fee was very reasonable. I should note that we had a Covid wedding and they managed to all of the concerns and special situations which we appreciated. Angela and her team will always be remembered as being part of our “family” and in sharing in our day. We highly recommend Almost Fantasy. If we could give more than a 5 star rating, we would!

Our approach to wedding filmmaking is simple- deliver the most sincere, organic recollection of the day by acting as unnoticeably as possible. By eliminating the pressures of being filmed, our couples are able to enjoy each moment of their day and be truly present in the experience, providing us with an authentic and emotional collection of frames. Weddings are our passion and we enjoy being able to assist with planning, coordinating and timeline creation throughout the months leading up to your big day. We’re with you every step of the way and are dedicated to creating the best possible version of your love story.

Rhys was great to work with!! He provided so much guidance leading up to the wedding day, going over my timeline and making recommendations based on how long he's seen things take. He also provides a list of suggested do's and dont's that you wouldn't realize have an impact on the video - it was so helpful!! Before the wedding he also has a prep call to go over all the details and any notes/requests we have for the videos (vibe we're looking for, any cinematic requests, song requests, etc.) He was another great presence to have the day of! We haven't gotten the video back yet but right after our wedding we got an email that lists out all the steps they take throughout video production. We've since gotten emails every time our video has moved to the next step. The communication from Rhys since we booked has been so incredible!

I’m Holly (she/her), a 28-year-old wedding videographer based in Grand Rapids, MI. I love for telling stories. Being a wedding videographer is truly a fly on the wall experience and I get to let you truly relive that day through video. You'll see yourself hugging your mom/dad at the end of the aisle, your first kiss as you're pronounced married for the first time, hear your vows to each other. I cannot explain how grateful I am to give you those slices of time.

Holly was absolutely amazing from the time I booked her to receiving my video. She knew what I wanted for a videographer and she exceeded my expectations. Her communication and timeliness on getting things to me was great! I’d book Holly all over again.

Hi, I am Emily! I'm happy that you've landed on my page. I specialize in covering videography as well as photography. I have been shooting weddings since 2013. I fell in love with watching people be in love! You can't find a better gig. I went on to receive my Bachelor of Arts in 2019. I've really been able to put my education to work in regards to all things wedding films. When I'm not shooting weddings, I am doing real estate photography, binge watching Bob's Burgers and Saturday Night Live, or most likely eating something delicious. ;)

I loved working with Emily!! She was soooo prepared, even when I wasn't! She had everything readily available, communication was quick and on point, and was able to direct our families with ease (and they're not easy haha)! Her turn around time to get my photos back was very quick and the quality was beautiful! Also, the amount of photos I got back was abundant!! Thank you Emily for capturing our day in the most beautiful way!!

A husband and wife photo video team based in Illinois, but say the word, and we are out of here! We absolutely love to travel and explore new places! So many of our clients have become our friends because We love getting to know you, and your family and friends and making everyone comfortable in front of the camera while capturing the real essence of you and everyone you love. We have been together for seventeen years, married for six. We truly are best friends who love working together and we think this shows in our work when shooting weddings together!

Ashley & Ryan are my favorite co-workers in this industry. Zero clarity issues, overall vibe is middle of the dance floor until we drop. The quality of video is more than expected when I see co-clients post. Their work in both areas is phenomenal and truly are sweethearts. Great communication with other photographers and the clients we work with. Highly recommend them as a team!

I was born and raised in Ukraine where I studied at a law school. When I moved to the USA in 2016, I dramatically switched my career path from a lawyer to a digital artist. I got a degree in Media Arts and Filmmaking and started shooting dance, fashion, music, and became a wedding videographer located in Chicago.

What an experience! You can stop searching now! This is the best wedding film crew. We spent a LOT of time searching thoroughly everything about weddings, planning, and vendors. Then it was time for the videographer and we got some recommendations from our friends. We fell in love with Sofiia’s beautiful style and watched a few of her works. She doesn’t simply film a wedding - she creates a story, she connects dots, and she sings it with her own words. It’s amazing. Help yourself - hire Sofiia as your wedding videographer!
