Our wedding was in October 2022 and we booked Alchemedia Studios as our videographer in early 2021 based off of a friend’s recommendation. Ed was wonderful to work with from the start: maintaining a friendly and comfortable demeanor (while remaining professional), making all possibilities clear to us, and working to design a custom video package that was within our budget. We found ourselves looking forward to each meeting as an exciting adventure of planning, confirming, and touching bases, and just getting to know each other. As two grooms with some significant body image issues and very opinionated families, Ed was great about accommodating all of our many questions and requests for the wedding video. On the day of the wedding, Ed and his assistant, Sebastian (who was wonderful to work with as well and many of the wedding guests loved), showed up early to our rooms to capture some of the getting ready moments. Some unforeseen circumstances led to us being about forty-five minutes behind schedule and caused a bit more stress in the rooms than we would have originally liked, but Ed and Sebastian were these beacons of calmness to help settle everything out and make us feel extremely comfortable at every moment, dispelling all tension. During the wedding, they worked with us to create optimal shots, gave us advice on some poses/fun things to do/moments to create, and even helped with noise control when a leaf blower in a neighboring garden acted up during the ceremony. Now that we have our video, we are incredibly happy. Each moment was well documented as were so many of the important people celebrating throughout the evening. It is pieced together with music and our vows/loved ones’ toasts underscoring the action. We got extremely lucky with Ed and his team here.

Ed was amazing to work and created such a fun and memorable video for us to remember our wedding day. We found Ed through our online search and immediately recognized how personal and unique each wedding video he created was. We spoke to Ed on the phone a few times before the wedding and met him in person for the first time on the day of (he offered to meet up prior but things were busy). Despite only having ever spoken on the phone, he connected with my partner and I right away and put us at ease as he recorded our video. We wanted a video that felt natural and organic and he did a great job of keeping the shots from feeling too posed. He also recommended the photographer that we ended up hiring, Chester Canasa, and they worked incredibly well together to capture both photos and video. During the ceremony and reception Ed seemed to genuinely enjoy himself and even went above and beyond staying beyond the contracted time to make sure he got all of the toasts. Ed sent us a teaser video within two days of the wedding that captured all of the unique features of our day. We are so excited to get our longer length video-- I cannot recommend Ed and his team enough!

Ed is such a great person! We loved working with him! The clip that he put together for us was perfect! I think that I've watched it about a thousand times by now.
