Flower and oak were absolutely amazing. They showed up extremely early for our event and we had the highest premium package ordered for the day. We had a couple specific shoot ideas for THE GROOMSMEN and the minute I walked in the front door. I was greeted by both videographers With all kinds of cool camera gear and they told us exactly what to do and there was no time wasted. I highly recommend flower and oak to anyone looking at getting married soon. The one thing I don’t regret about our wedding day is using them because they were so great. It doesn’t matter what the price is you will have those memories forever.

I love going places with my camera and enjoy capturing the content around me. I love starting a new project, and having an open opportunity to be creative and original. And finally, I love making a product that can be used as a keepsake to help relive and remember special times.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bailey is a true artist! Our wedding video is something we were very nervous about. We even considered not hiring a videographer because we were so worried about feeling uncomfortable on camera! Bailey moved about our wedding day capturing every important moment completely undetected, and I mean that in the best way possible! We didn't even realize in the moment that we were being filmed. She captured the most meaningful, genuine moments of our day and after seeing the final product, we can't even imagine not having this video to cherish for the rest of our lives. At our reception we had an audio guest book that provided us with a bunch of audio from our loved ones. We gave Bailey the huge task of adding some of that audio to our final video. We were completely blown away by how she mixed the audio from our friends and family with the other audio and video from the day! We now have a beautiful highlight reel that we can show to friends and family, we have an edited video of our vows with multiple angles, we have all of the toasts in an edited video, and, one of our favorite things about what Bailey offers with her videography packages, we have all of the raw, unedited footage so we don't forget a single moment of the day. Bailey is caring, flexible, professional, and has an unmatched talent for the art of videography!

We had our edited highlight video within a week, which was huge since we wanted to share it with family right away.

Our guests still talk about how much fun it was to pick up the camera, leave us messages as a couple, and capture moments they thought we would love. It made the experience so interactive and memorable for everyone. The company was incredibly easy to work with and created a wedding video that truly captured us and our day. We also absolutely love having all of the raw footage to go through and relive all those special moments.

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.

It is so hard for me to write a review on Maloch Media, because it is so hard to put into words how exceptional they are. Trevor and his team are such a joy to be around on one of the most important days of your life. Trevor wasn't just there as a videographer but there as a friend. Throughout the whole day he was making sure that I was comfortable and had what I needed, and he was there to comfort me during the overwhelming times. He exceeded any expectations that I may have had. I truly cannot say enough great things about him and his work, it is truly exceptional. Every time that we watch our wedding video we are just overwhelmed with emotions, the video makes us feel like we are reliving the day all over again. He captured things that we don't even remember seeing on our wedding day. His work is impeccable. Maloch Media is the perfect addition to any wedding, they are worth every penny and more!

A fun, candid alternative to traditional wedding videography. Your favorite people capture the laughs, happy tears, behind-the-scenes moments, and dance floor chaos on easy-to-use camcorders, and we turn it all into the wedding home movie you’ll watch for years to come. Add a nostalgic touch with our 35mm camera rentals — perfect for candid guest photos, behind-the-scenes moments, and flash-filled memories that feel straight out of a family photo album.

I reached out to YouFilm after getting an advertisement on instagram. I got married in December 2024 and had the camcorder footage sitting on my computer for over a year. I had told myself I would put it together, but as a new mom and photography business owner, I decided it was time to outsource and I'm SO glad I did. Danielle was quick, responsive and took the footage I sent in and spliced the perfect highlight film of my wedding day. It was quick, easy, efficient and I have this wonderful keepsake forever!

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.

We had such an excellent experience with Paul on our wedding day! He was so communicative leading up to the day, as well as the actual wedding day. He was friendly, professional, punctual and worked so well alongside our photographer for the day, filming all of the lovely moments we may have otherwise missed (dance floor, cocktail hour, etc). He also filmed our first look, which was one of the moments that I most wanted to have on film, and made it such a fun experience. We watch our video every year on our wedding anniversary (it's been almost 13 years!), and we look back so fondly on that day because of the sweet moments that Paul captured - and have also shown it to our kids, who love to watch it over and over again. We highly recommend Paul to also capture your wedding day!
