Tree Films Creative 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves New Canaan, CT

Here at Tree Films, we make your story a priority. We strive to get to know our couples and how they came to be, down to the silly coincidences and weird first dates. We like to think that our mission goes beyond just documenting your wedding day -- the goal is to create an unforgettable experience! We are invested in making each video as genuine as possible, as if your story was being told by a best friend who witnessed all the important stuff. Tell us who you are as a couple and let us put together a video that tells the story from day one to I do!

When we were in the process of looking for photo/video vendors for our wedding, we knew we wanted a combined service, but we were having a hard time finding the right fit. Someone I was looking into did not have our date available, but they recommended Tree Films Creative. When I say this was the best thing that could've happened to us, I MEAN IT. Tree Films has been nothing short of amazing. I was amazed that they were even available for our date. From the very beginning, Ashley was so personable, she listened to what we wanted, she was knowledgeable, and so professional. She was our main point of contact and her and I instantly became what felt like good friends (even though I only met her via zoom calls). I asked her for help with a few things throughout the process and she never batted an eye and helped me with it all! She was very responsive; I was never waiting for a response or wondering what was going on. She always kept me in the loop. Once our big day finally arrived, Ashley and her team were at the venue before I arrived. She greeted me and I felt like I already knew her. The entire Tree Films Creative team made me, my husband, and entire bridal party comfortable and I remember having a sense of ease. I could not recommend this team enough. They went above and beyond for everything on my wedding day and beyond. At this moment, I have received photo previews, which was way more than I thought, (happily) and I cannot wait for more! I have seen the teaser film and am just blown away. I am patiently waiting to see the rest of the photos and videos and I know for a fact that they are going to be incredible. I am so happy they were the ones who captured our day for us. I can go on and on about Tree Films; they were a literal DREAM TEAM. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend!

I don’t think I could say enough wonderful things about Candlewood Inn and their team. Simply put our day was perfection. Krista and her team made sure everything was as we wanted it and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our bridal attendants Mary and Leslie were the true fairy godmothers of the day making sure myself (the bride) and the rest of our bridal party had everything they needed at all time. The communication throughout the process coming up to the wedding and on the day was absolutely flawless. We felt truly cared for which can be hard to find with the amount of weddings that are done. The venue itself was beautiful, you cant quite beat the views on that lake, and so that alone makes it so special. The food was spectacular, us and our guests could not get over how delicious everything was. The staff throughout the night was so professional and kind, and made sure our guests were cared for as well. We loved having the time alone right after the ceremony with all of the appetizers we had picked just to have a bite to eat and take a moment to reflect on being married! It was so special and I attribute that to the work the Candlewood team put in. I would recommend this venue to everyone and anyone that just wants a beautifully run day. I  already cant wait for one of our friends to get married here too!

Shannon and Three Roots were amazing to work with! You can see from the photos (By Jessie Barentsen) below how absolutely stunning our florals were on our day. Throughout the whole planning process Shannon was so easy to communicate with and always had very prompt, timely responses. She was able to take my thoughts and visions bring them together and to life. She was very detail oriented down to having me select ribbons and vessels for our bouquets and florals. She sourced the most beautiful candles and bud vases for us as well. We had some last minute cancellations and cut down 2 tables and she worked with us to reallocate what we had paid for those tables to florals elsewhere in the space to not lose out. On our day there was so much love and hugging the groomsmen boutonnieres were falling off before the ceremony and she made new ones for all of them and placed them on. I cannot recommend Shannon enough!

Where to begin with Hannah? We knew her through her husband; my husband and I are musicians, and her husband Jimmy is a drummer I’ve known for years. My husband and I met in a wedding band and have played more than 400 weddings together, so we knew exactly what we wanted and that having a coordinator or planner is a nonnegotiable if you want a seamless event where you do not have to stress.

He expertly controlled the crowd with some of the best mixes I've ever heard at a wedding! My husband and I did not want to leave the dance floor!

Awarded Best of Zola
I can’t count the number of times during and after our wedding I said, “hiring Christina is the best money we spent on the wedding!” I am not a planner by nature and I was dreading wedding planning. The second we hired Christina, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted. She took care of all the tiny details, gave me ideas I never would have thought of, and brought our vision to life. She was so supportive throughout the whole process, answering texts and emails about absolutely everything. On the actual wedding day, I often thought that I didn’t know what we would have done without her. While our venue had a coordinator, they were not nearly as responsive and organized as Christina was. Christina will not only plan your wedding but she will be your friend throughout the whole wedding planning process. I can’t recommend her enough.

We're great at tying bow ties and we won't forget the bourbon, cigars and music.

Doorbell Barbers did an incredible job on haircuts for both my husband and me, as well as our groomsmen. Our hair has never looked better! Christian was not only an amazing barber but also truly kind and understanding of our time constraints, even accommodating some last-minute changes without any hassle. His pricing was more than fair for the quality of work and level of professionalism. The whiskey and cigar treatment made our groomsmen happier then ever, and the mini-facials were something that truly helped calm the nerves on the big day! What really stood out was how compassionate and flexible Christian was when unexpected, and incredibly tragic, circumstances forced us to postpone our wedding for a year. He handled everything with such grace and made the rescheduling process stress-free during a very challenging time. We couldn’t have asked for better service or a more thoughtful experience. Thank you, Doorbell Barbers and Christian, for making our big day look and feel amazing. Highly recommend!

Merry by Mia

Everyone needs an events coordinator whose responsibility is to make sure you--and everyone at the center of the celebration--enjoy the event. Merry by Mia will be in your corner and take away all logistical stress.

My husband and I knew we needed a day of coordinator because on our wedding day he wanted me to finally check out and relax! As someone who is very type a, I didn't want to not enjoy my actual wedding because I was so focused on details. Like most venues we had a Bridal Attendant who was great, but I can't speak enough about how a day of coordinator is so necessary. There really were so many moving parts that day and Mia took care of all of it. Her involvement allowed my mom and mother in law to be able to actually have fun. It was great to see! Leaving the pressure of getting things right on the day of to Mia and her team was the best decision I made! She was actually the first vendor we hired. It was truly a non negotiable for us! We chose Mia because she was able to really walk us through the entire process and answer all of the questions we had with the least amount of fluff! When we hired Merry we decided to pay a little extra for a second on site coordinator and that ended up being a great choice! Her team worked directly with our venue to make sure everything was where it needed to be and when it needed to be there. I was also able to assign someone to my husband and the groomsmen so that they felt special and taken care of! We even had one small thing that came up that because of the conversations we had she knew exactly what to do. It was super windy on the day of and our ceremony was in a tent that was supposed to be open to the water views. The venue ultimately left them open but she made an executive decision (found me quickly to re-confirm) to close the panels/curtains and it saved our guests from freezing and not being able to actually hear the ceremony. She also made sure that all of the things we really cared about (pictures, moments etc) were captured! We'd hire Merry by Mia a thousand times over!

Lauren was extremely professional, kind, and helped us out setting up chairs even when that was not part of her job. She was willing to help and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Our wedding photos came out beautifully and I’m so glad we chose her for our special day! Not to mention, her pricing is unbeatable.

Avec L’Amour

We are painters when it comes to film. We enjoy creating love stories that poke at the heart of emotion. There’s an art to visually piecing a love story together. We have a strong eye for detail, and focus on really diving into a couples love and expressing their emotion for one another through our lens.

Avec L'Amour captured our wedding in June of 2023. We went with Avec L'Amour because we really liked the style and felt the prices were extremely reasonable compared to some of the other videographers out there. We went with the package that included the highlight film and the feature-length film. The audio on the feature-length film is a little tough to hear because of all the background noise, but we were outdoors and in front of a lake, so it’s understandable. While planning for our wedding, we worked directly with John. He had great energy and seemed very prepared every time we interacted with him. However, we never met John in-person because the day before our wedding, he reached out saying he could no longer make it and would be sending a replacement instead. This was understandably very stressful, but fortunately the replacement he sent was awesome. We would have liked to know this update earlier if possible, however we know that’s not always possible, and this was our only complaint in working with him. When John sent us the footage of our wedding, we were so happy with it with the exception of one place where the audio didn’t match up, one place where suddenly the video went purple, and the fact that one of our best man’s speeches was completely left out of the highlight reel; we brought these concerns to John, and he fixed them with no hesitation in a timely manner. Though we can’t review John’s videography or wedding day presence directly, we did have a good experience with his company and would recommend it!

From our very first meeting at the Waterview, the entire staff was friendly, engaging, and professional. As a LGBTQ couple, my husband and I knew this would be the right venue for us. They had all of the right facilities, accommodating all of our needs, and flexibility with dates and costing. The day of the event was seamless with no stress for my husband or I. Our families all enjoyed the Waterview from the ceremony through dinner and dancing. Our coordinator, Kat, was absolutely incredible. She was able to take our vision and make it a reality. We cannot say enough about the staff and facilities. The Garden Room and East room are simply amazing. Highly recommend the breakfast sandwiches at the end of the night--people are still talking about them!
