The best videographer in DMV. We had an excellent experience with James.

I am so glad that I found james for our daughters wedding as a videographer. He has an amazing scale that I have never seen in any other videographers. He’s very professional, he knows exactly what he’s doing, and he knows how to capture the most beautiful clips and memories from any occasions . We are thankful that he was there for our daughter’s wedding and I know for sure that we will be using his service again for our kids upcoming weddings and other events.

I highly recommend James. He is one of the best Videographer in DMV. Thank you James, and I’m sure we will see you again soon.

You have an incredible skill.

Profesional and prompt

James communicated with us very well prior to the wedding. During the wedding, he was barely noticeable which was awesome because we knew he was capturing the moments without intruding on anyone's comfort and personal space.

Update: I received my video about a week after the wedding... very good timing! The video was excellent. The short clip made me cry, and was the perfect glimpse into the day. The full video was well compiled, really shows that James knows what he is doing. I'm going to cherish these memories forever and am so grateful to have the video to look back on.

Easy going, Professional, Helpful

James was great to work with start to finish. He was very professional and fun to work with. I was amazed at all the shots/videos he got at our wedding it was nice to reminisce on the wedding day after all the excitement has ended to be able to relive it again. I will admit I have watch the short and long clips multiple times already as I can't get enough of them. I highly recommend James to capture your wedding as he gave us the perfect gift to remember our day forever!

I don't know where to start. In the past when I held meetings in my home, I would show a video of a wedding James shot. Couples would get so involved in what they were seeing, they forgot they were at a meeting with me. James does excellent work. He work well with other vendors, and I would recommend him to any couple.

James is an experienced photographer. He will take the time to sit down with brides (yes sit down) instead of simply sending an impersonal text about his quotes. He is actually passionate about his work, which is missing in many wedding vendors nowadays. He wants to know what the bride wants out of her wedding experience and how she wants to remember the day. Highly recommended professional and truly a pleasure to work with (or even to sit down and chat with).
