The quality of their work is incredible, we laughed and cried watching our final video and all of our friends have gotten emotional after seeing it too. Ben, our videographer, really went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable on camera and even helped us set up a live stream so my grandmother who couldn't attend could watch the ceremony. We are so grateful to have such an amazing memento of our special day thanks to Whole Heart Video.”

“We hired Munaco Pictures to film our wedding and Tom was absolutely amazing! He never stopped from the first moment until the last, working hard to capture everything with his multiple cameras, a drone, and even a GoPro that he strapped to a champagne bottle for some awesome bottle-cam shots! He was also a pleasure to have around during the entire getting-ready process, as well as throughout the wedding ceremony and reception. He captured everything candidly and without us having to worry about a thing, but he also made sure to involve us directly in some of the epic drone dance floor shots and anything else that was extra special so that we wouldn’t miss out during all the wedding commotion. And his turnaround time was astounding! We received an awesome teaser video of our wedding in less than 24 hours! It was great to have that video so that we could immediately share our wedding highlights with our family and friends. And everyone loved it! We also appreciate him going above and beyond with the little details of our big day, like purchasing a white lapel mic to match the groom's uniform during the ceremony. That was truly the mark of a great videographer who cares about his clients! Thank you so much for everything, Tom! We can see now why you are one of the best in the biz! You certainly worked extremely hard and captured some amazing shots for us! We are truly happy to have had you as our videographer on our wedding day and we love having all of our special memories preserved so perfectly on video. Thank you again for a job well done! :)”

Awarded Best of Zola
“I could not recommend Old North Film Co. more. They went so above and beyond. We were unsure if we were going to have a videographer. I went slightly over budget, because I really liked Old North’s work. It was worth every penny. The video is so beautiful and they captured so much incredible footage. I had them there from my first looks through the first hour on the dance floor. I honestly wish I would have had them there through the send off. The memories were amazing and I wish I had them captured. It would have been worth the extra money! Old North went above and beyond with delivering the video. They sent it earlier than expected. And they made any revisions we had quickly. Then, a few months after my wedding, they truly went above and beyond. My grandmother passed away. I knew they had captured some really incredible moments of her at my wedding just months before. And it was some of the last moments of her on camera. I asked Old North how much it would cost to edit it together. And they wrote back within 24 hours with a kind note, but also creating an edit with just my grandmother at no extra charge. The gesture meant so much to me. Like I said, it was worth every penny. And the Grandma Video was so beautiful. It made me cry, as well as my mom, aunt, and brother. I can’t believe how above and beyond Old North went. I would 10/10 recommend.”

Feedback Love Films was built from real wedding experience, not styled shoots or staged moments. After more than six years as a wedding photographer through Roman Lorek Photography, I began offering films to my couples and learned storytelling in real wedding environments. My approach is natural, cinematic, and emotion-driven with a focus on authentic moments over overproduction. Outside of weddings, I also shoot concert photography, which continues to influence the energy and movement in my work.

“Feedback Love Films captured our wedding day in a way that felt genuine and modern. From our first conversation with them, their communication was straightforward and easy to work with, which made the whole planning process stress-free. They kept my husband and me at the heart of everything, letting our families shine through naturally without any awkward staging. The final video is clean and professional, but what really got us was how heartwarming it turned out—every moment felt real and authentic. We've watched it countless times and shown it to friends who all say the same thing: it looks like a real film, not a typical wedding video. We couldn't be happier with their work and would absolutely recommend Feedback Love Films to any couple looking for videographers who truly understand how to tell your story.”

“As a wedding photographer, working with videographers often makes my job more difficult. In my experience, most videographers try to create moments by having people do things they would never normally do. They are often an obstacle for photographers to work around. Sometimes multiple videographers are working to get all the angles and they end up creating something of a spectacle of an event when folks are just trying to be natural and enjoy themselves. I had a hard time recommending videographers to my wedding couples... until I met Jenn. Jenn from Better Half Wedding Videography is the exception. She is an incredibly nice person, super respectful of people's time and space. She brings a calming presence to weddings and eases people's nervousness. Jenn is upfront, honest, and discreet. Her work is fun and natural. I am so bummed that she no longer lives in California. When people ask about videographers, I still recommend her. She is the best!”

Hi, I'm Lexi! I started Gott You Media because I've always been the friend with the camera, drawn to capturing the in-between moments that end up meaning the most. I'm not a traditional videographer. I'm your behind-the-scenes content creator, capturing all the raw, candid, real moments of your day and turning them into reels, TikToks, and clips you'll actually want to post. You'll have all your raw footage by the next morning and a polished recap reel within the week. More than just your content team, I'm by your side the whole day, hyping you up, calming nerves, and making sure you're fully present for every moment.

“We hired Lexi to capture our daughter's wedding and she was absolutely incredible. Her communication leading up to the day was so easy and responsive, we never had to worry about a thing. At the wedding she blended right in, had the whole family laughing and hyping up the bride before the ceremony, and we barely noticed she was there during the important moments. By the next morning we had all the raw footage on our phones, which was amazing. Then a few days later she sent us this recap reel that had our entire family in tears. We've probably watched it 50 times already. She genuinely cares about making your day special and it shows in everything she does. Worth every penny.”

“My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Irv for our wedding, and we cannot express how thrilled we are with the results! Irv not only met but exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't be more grateful. He managed to capture the essence of our love story in a way that was uniquely "us." We have received countless compliments from friends and family on the video. We highly recommend Irv to any couple looking for a wedding videographer who goes above and beyond to make your day unforgettable. Thank you, Irv, for giving us a beautiful treasure that we'll cherish for a lifetime. We are so grateful for your talent and dedication in making our wedding day a true work of art. With heartfelt thanks, Anthony”
