A memory we will cherish forever! Thank you Direct Light Studios!!

WOW where do we begin? Hiring Laura and Dakin was perhaps one of the BEST investments we made for our wedding. From our initial consultation, Laura was so warm and personable and truly listened to the vision we had in mind. We wanted a video that wasn’t just a montage of the two of us, but captured the love and feeling of our friends and family throughout the day. Boy, did they deliver. Laura and Dakin worked seamlessly with the rest of our vendors and captured everything we wanted and more. Their talent and professionalism is unmatched. Communication was easy (hard to find in vendors!!) Their presence day-of was unobtrusive yet comforting, allowing us to just be ourselves and not have to feel awkward in front of the camera. The final product is pure art, a heartfelt look at the most special day of our lives. Thank you Laura and Dakin for sharing your talents with the world and giving us a memory we can share with our families for years and years!

Thank you Laura and Dakin!!

We loved our experience working with Laura and Dakin during our wedding! We gave them a lot of independence to capture our wedding day as they saw fit and we are blown away by the video that we got back from them. We love all of the details that they picked up on throughout the day and are looking forward to watching this for years to come.

Excellent Beyond Expectations

Direct Light Studios went above and beyond for my sister's wedding. They were professional, seamless, and wonderful. They captured everything we could have ever wanted and then some! We were able to get ready and go through the entire day with ease and never were bothered or felt like there were cameras on us. It was all very in-flow and they were just SO good at their work! Then, the finished product, was worth every penny and then some. I would recommend them for your wedding video over and over again. Treat yourself to this gift of a lifetime. Laura and Dakin were such an incredible team and such lovely humans - we truly enjoyed working with them and seeing their incredible finished works too.

Dakin and Laura of Direct Light Studios are the best in the business! They are so easy to work along side during the wedding day, and they are so laid back and personable, it's very refreshing! Their work is so exquisite and creative, I refer them to every couple that comes to me for photography. Videography is such a beautiful complimentary product to have in addition to photographs of the most important day in your life and they have a gift of capturing all of the emotion and love surrounding the couple and their family. I very highly recommend!
