    Wow- what can I say? When planning a wedding there are so many details it really does get overwhelming. I, being on a budget, but also knowing what I wanted, took the time to research and spend hours of time looking into the right videographers to capture what was sure to be the best day of our lives together. Well, let me save you all the time and energy of looking for the right choice. Go with Departing Line- Simple as that.

    They did an absolutely incredible job, their work is exquisite and Jeremy and team were so easy to work with.

    They took all my feedback exceptionally well, whenever I had an idea, and I had MANY! Jeremy responded quickly, and professionally.
    Even the wedding party was in awe of how professional the entire team was the day of our wedding and they seemed to blend right in.

    I kept asking if they got the shots they needed only to be reassured that they were all set.

    The video teaser, short film, and full film truly took my breath away as well and everyone continues to ask me, "wow, who did your wedding film?!"

    I am so Incredibly happy with our choice that I referred my sister to use them this coming summer as well.

    My husband was Completely against having a videographer due to expenses adding up but I reassured him that this was a necessity. Not only did I get to tell him, "I told you so", but he went as far as telling me that he's so happy that I convinced him that we needed to book a videographer.

    Thank you Departing Line and Jeremy for making the most magical day of our lives, one that we can relive over and over again.

    FANTASTIC company. I would highly recommend. I used them for my engagement photos and was incredibly happy how they turned out. I am so excited for my wedding because I know the photos will be fantastic :)

    Departing Line Studios's reply:

    Thanks so much for your kind words! We are thrilled that you've chosen us to capture your big day! :)

    Departing Line Studios was a vendor we got recommended after two of our original photographers cancelled on us just a month and a half out from the wedding! Within an hour the studio had contacted us and from there on it was always an open book with them. You knew exactly what you were getting in your package and you felt very comfortable that there was going to be no surprises. The day of the photographers took total control! I could not have imagined how stress free the day went in regards to the photography. You could tell that the photographers were very experienced by how they knew the grounds where we were getting married and the posing for pictures were effortless. We just received out photos back and every single photo is amazing! If you are wanting a photographer who will take total responsiblity for making sure you capture your big day then you NEED to go with Departing Line Studios!

    We were honestly amazed by Departing Line Studios every step of the way!!

    I first met with Jeremy a month before the wedding and after talking to him for five minutes I knew we made the right choice contacting DLS. Jeremy intently listened to everything I said, and provided honest feedback based on his experience. I did not expect it at all, but everything I mentioned about what I did/did not like must have been written down so meticulously at this session because the video was PERFECT and exactly what I had explained to him that I wanted.

    Jeremy and Jacob were the videographers on our big day. They were very low-key, and a lot of people even asked me if I had hired videographers because DPL is so out of the way, yet they managed to capture amazing footage!! Honestly, I wish I would have bought the entire video+photography package because I am so impressed with all their work.

    The editing was.........well, perfect. At first, I was a bit taken aback by some more "awkward" things that happened that they had included, but when I thought about it, that's what had happened on our big day and that's what made it so memorable! They did say that they would make edits if we requested them, so if I had wanted them out, I could have said something (just another example of how flexible they are!). They also gave us a 6-month window before we would get our video back, with an estimation of 4-5 months. It was 5.5 months before we got it back, which was fine since it says up to six months, but they threw in an extra 2 minutes of the wedding trailer for the extra time we had to wait for the video!!

    I seriously cannot say enough amazing things about DLS. From emailing with Dotti to working with Jeremy and Jacob, the whole process was a breeze. They made it so easy and both the quality and editing of the video is top notch. My only disappointment: That I didn't hire them for both video and photo! Wish I would have found their website sooner!!!!

    I hired Departing Line Studio videography for my upcoming 2016 wedding.. I couldn't be happier with our choice of choosing them.. Jeremy is very nice, professional, eager and fast to answer any questions I had. As soon as I started talking with him, I knew I had found the right company for our videography for our big day.. I highly recommend Departing Line studio for videography..

    I did a mini photo session with departing line studios to check them out. Three years before our wedding we decided that day they were the best! We booked them way ahead of time but they still kept up with us the whole three years! Gave great advise even on things that wasn't about the photo part of the wedding. The whole team is just amazing very fun to be with. Made every request happen captured every moment perfectly! Once you book them for one event you won't want anyone else they did my wedding and my mother's and I will be calling them every time I need family photos! They are the best. They offer many packages with photo and video I recommend everyone do both! My special day wouldn't have been complete with out deporting line studios!

    Dotti is a fantastic photographer! She captured the energy and fun and laughter of our wedding day, seeing the photos we re-lived the day and saw so much that we had missed, it was amazing. Right from our first shoot for our Engagement Photos Dotti made us feel completely comfortable and showed genuine interest in capturing our love. Most importantly of all we absolutely LOVE our wedding photos, they capture so many special memories. We will treasure them forever. Jeremy is an amazing videographer he captured our day beyond what I had imagined. Having beautiful pictures to look back on our wonderful but having a video that plays out your whole day is priceless. Thank you Jeremy and Dotti, we cannot recommend you highly enough. A truly innovative and inspirational photographer/videographer team!!!

    My husband and I were both very pleased with Departing Line as our photographers. We chose the 2 photographer options and were very impressed with the amount of shots and the quality. They even traveled 3+ hours for our wedding. The first time we met them was our wedding day which was a bit scary, but we stayed well connected through emails! The only thing We'd do differently is booked them for videography too! Would recommend to anyone!

    If you're looking for photo and video for your wedding I HIGHLY reccomend departing line studios! We looked at so many different places & people and couldn't find anything I loved, with a budget friendly package. We are so pleased we found Jeremy and Dotti! They are a delight to work with, we had so many questions and never once did they go unanswered! They're both so talented in what they do! The day of our wedding Dotti helped with more than just what she was there to do. For a first time bride she gave lots of extra advice for the big day! We got married on July 16, 2016, which happened to be their wedding anniversary and without a doubt they were extremely happy to spend their anniversary capturing our day! Honestly such a sweet couple! We are extremely happy we chose departing line studios, they are the best! Thank you both for capturing and sharing our special day with us! You guys rock!

    PLEASE BOOK WITH DEPARTING LINE STUDIOS! Videography was not even in my budget at the start of wedding planning, but I read somewhere that not splurging for professional video was the biggest mistake brides commit. I decided to bite the bullet and pay for the service. I am beyond glad I did! My videographer Emily friendly and exactly where she needed to be at exactly the right time during the day. She was like a fly on the wall but still captured my whole day perfectly! The trailer and edited full-length chronological film were absolutely stunning, and we will treasure them for a lifetime. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Jeremy, Dotti, and Emily for your incredible artistry and superb customer service. I am one happy bride!

    Departing Line Studios is AMAZING! We used them for our wedding in May 2016 and purchased their videography package. The price was affordable and the quality was outstanding! They captured our wedding day exactly how we pictured it and it has been so much fun watching the video (you get to see so many things you would have otherwise missed). We also gave a couple of copies of the DVD to our family as gifts (and it was a huge hit!). If you are looking for a team that is professional, cost effective, and an extremely high quality - use Departing Line Studios! You will not be disappointed!

    We absolutely loved our experience with Jeremy at The Departing Line Studios! Our video was amazing and loved our preview video as well - they did a great job capturing our special day so we can re-live it as many times as we want!

    Thank you soo so much

    Hiring Departing Line Studios was just about the best decision I made for our wedding day. We were between two companies and after speaking with Jeremy and Dottie, who helped accommodate our budget and still film the little details we really wanted, I was immediately sold. Their quality of video and editing expertise is what stood above and beyond their competition, and I can tell you this with absolute certainty having filmed and edited video myself. It only took them less then 3 months to send us our FULL LENGTH video and trailer, all the others companies told us it would be up to 6! They were SO worth the money, videography is not something to cheap out with when it comes to your wedding! It will truly last you a lifetime, and DLS put together a BREATHTAKING video for us. All the little details that were so well thought out from our music selections, showing up exactly on time, getting all the most important shots, the videographers who were so kind and professional, the multiple copies of DVD's they made, the beautiful designed album art of the DVD, even the box that it all came in! Sooooo amazing and so HIGHLY recommended. What a fantastic company to hire, I can't think of a single negative thing to say because we had the best experience. If you are in between who to hire from a few different local videographers.. choose this one. You won't regret it! Thanks guys!

    My husband and I chose Departing Line Studios for our videography for our wedding in November 2014! We couldn't have been happier with the level of professionalism they showed and how amazing of a job they did capturing the best day of our lives! Every time I had a question they responded to emails very quickly to answer and on the day of our wedding they were right there to make sure to capture every moment. When we received the wedding trailer we were absolutely in love with how amazing it was and that was only the trailer! Once we got the final full length video we were blown away!! They did an amazing job and now we will have beautiful memories from our day to look back on forever! If you are looking for a videographer look no further and choose Departing Line Studios because I promise you won't be let down. They were the best to work with and I am so glad we chose them! :)

    Jeremy was great to work with both during the wedding and on post-production. He captured all the important moments and we were so thrilled with the final product. I was hesitant to do videography but I am so glad we did. There is something so meaningful about having your ceremony and so many special moments preserved. We did some shopping around and found that Departing Line was by far the best value for our money while still delivery a high quality product.

    We were very pleased with Departing Line for our engagement, boudoir, and wedding photography! Dotti was amazing to work with, as was our second photographer, Amanda. Dotti was timely, dependable, very knowledgeable, and creative. Our wedding photos turned out great and we have absolutely no regrets. I would highly recommend Departing Line to all of my friends and family.

    Jeremy and Dotti are AMAZING! We are so thrilled that they will be shooting our wedding in September. We recently had them shoot our engagement photos, which turned out beautifully. They listen to your vision and run with it. We got exactly what we wanted and more. Our families are in awe of how awesome the photos have turned out so far! We are so very excited to have them for photo and video at the wedding!

    Jeremy Gouine and the Departing Line did such an amazing job capturing our big day! Videography was one of the most important elements I wanted incorporated to our wedding day! It's the absolute fastest day of your life and to be able to sit back and watch your day unfold and see everything that happened when you weren't around is simply amazing! A month before our wedding I was in a friend's wedding and the Departing Line did photo and video for them! The teamwork this business displayed was outstanding! You would not be disappointed! Beautiful work! And even better, some of the best people to work with! Not only in booking and preparing for your wedding day, but also the support and hard work they put in during the wedding day and all the dedication and skill that was put into our video! One last thing, the presentation of the package when we received them in the mail was downright beautiful! I was referred by a friend and I have referred countless people myself!
