I cant say enough good things about our experience with Toast! Julianna was so communicative and fantastic with making sure that the memories of our day were captured perfectly! It's incredible that Toast has photographers nationwide that they contract with! Planning a destination -Oregon wedding from New York was made so much easier because of Julianna and her team! The photographer and videographer captured images and footage that were above and beyond what we ever dreamed! Plus, they were both beyond talented and great at directing us to make sure we got tge best images! Our photographer had a great idea to have me twirl and throw my dress, and it was one of the most beautiful images captured. Also, they were open to fun things we wanted to try. The editing process was seamless, and the product they produced was absolutely phenomenal. Like I said, highly recommend!

We hired Flower & Oak for our wedding in August to do photo and video and we cannot say enough good things about them! The photographer and videographer were so fun, talented, creative, and professional. We still cry every time we watch our full video and even teaser video (which is less than a minute lol)! We would hire them again in a heart beat for any event and would recommend them without hesitation!

Imagine your wedding filmed by the people who know you best - your friends and family.

We'll turn all your raw footage into a beautiful, nostalgic Modern Day Home Video® you'll actually love to rewatch. It's raw, real, and totally you.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend PressRecord enough! From start to finish, the entire process was incredibly easy and completely stress-free. The camcorders were simple for our guests to use, and everything was clearly explained, making the whole experience foolproof. What truly impressed me was their customer service. They were unbelievably kind and responded to every email so quickly. They even re-edited our wedding film **twice** to make sure it was exactly what we envisioned, and they happily searched through all of the footage to include very specific moments that were important to us. The most meaningful thing they did was incorporate a photo I sent them of our memorial table honoring my mom and my husband's grandparents who had passed away. Including that tribute in our wedding video meant more to us than I can express, and I'm so grateful they took the time to make it happen. Our final 5-minute home video feels so personal and captures the heart of our wedding day perfectly. If you're considering PressRecord, do it—you'll not only end up with an amazing keepsake, but you'll also be working with a team that genuinely cares about preserving what matters most.

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!
