    Incredible people, outstanding work

    My husband and I are so grateful for deciding to have a wedding video, even despite our small COVID19 wedding. We teetered back and forth with the idea and we are so happy we went forward with it. Ian, Rob and the entire team at Toybox Studios are truly phenomenal people. And their work isn't any less. My family and I watch our video weekly! It is something we will treasure forever, and something that will always be shared with our families and friends for years to come. Their team captures your DAY and truly makes you feel like you are reliving your wedding day when you watch their work. The Toybox Studio family is the dream team. You will not regret working with them! Thank you Toybox!

    Run! Do not walk to book Toy Box Studios!

    This was the only wedding vendor I didn't have to look for! The day I got engaged I knew I had to have Toy Box Studios for my wedding videography! Mark and Kari were phenomenal to work with, and made the entire process stress free! Our final video is more than we could have hoped for. It's hard to put into words when someone captures and preserves such precious, once in a lifetime moments for you so beautifully and in a way you can cherish forever! Mark's talent is unmatched and we cannot thank him enough! Do yourself a favor and book with them ASAP!

    Toy Box did an amazing job with our wedding video. They were recommended by our photographer. We found them to be super personable and easy to work with. I would highly recommend them--the quality of the video is unmatched!

    Ian did a fantastic job with our wedding video! We were really debating whether or not we wanted to even get a video but ultimately decided we’d probabky regret not having one. After seeing the beautiful video, we are so glad to decided to have one and work with Toy Box studios. The video really captured the mood and heart of the day!

    Toy Box Studios is the absolute best. I am from Charleston, SC (one of the top wedding destinations in the world) and brought them in from Virginia because no one compared to how amazing they are! It is one thing to get amazing coverage of the wedding day but the way they edit the video together so beautifully. I CAN NOT say enough positive things about them. Everyone there is amazing, Kari made the communication process from states away so easy! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them.

    These guys are top notch. From the start of the day, I can tell they work hard to accurately tell the story of the entire wedding day, while not intruding on the personal time and intimate nature of a wedding day. Their documentary style of recording real moments as they occur, and not staging anything, is where they truly shine. It can be hard when you have 5 people (photographers and videographers) to feel like you're not just starring in a movie about your wedding vs. having your wedding truly captured in a beautiful video. As a photographer, I can say these are the best guys I have worked with, and they produce incredible footage. If you're on the fence, as a wedding vendor myself, and I can tell you unequivocally, you won't regret hiring Toy Box!

    My wife and I heard about Toy Box Studios from an event coordinator who worked at Westfields Marriott. She and her fiance at the time were using TBS's services as well for their wedding. So, I took a look at their website and instantly fell in love with their work. Their wedding story videos go beyond simply showing you each part of the day. Somehow they always find a way to convey a story in the day's footage that tugs at your heart strings.

    Besides our final video, which my wife and I have viewed way too many times already, I would say that the best thing about TBS is that Ian and Mark were invisible during our wedding. They don't get in the way like other videographers I've seen at other weddings. There were many scenes in our video where I was marveling and saying, "Wow, I did't even notice them there! How'd they get that shot?" The equipment they used were unobtrusive in size, but still very high in quality.

    We can't say enough good things about Ian, Mark, and Kari (there may be more people on their team, but those are the 3 individuals I've worked with). They work well as a team and were absolutely on top of everything from the very first e-mails we sent and the very first time we met to the delivery of our video and thumb drive. Our video was given to us sooner than expected, which we were thrilled about! We absolutely recommend Toy Box Studios to any couples out there reading this looking for a video vendor. They are worth every penny!

    Thank you so much, TBS, for capturing our wedding day and giving us lasting memories and images from the best day of our lives.

    Memories are captured best on video. Ian, Mark, & Eloy did a fantastic job in capturing my husband's and I love for one another by filming our Love Story, and shooting our 10 year Vow Renewal Ceremony. I have Stage IV Breast Cancer and they captured moments that will be forever present for my husband, family, and friends to cherish for LIFE. Toy Box Studios are so professional, down to earth, and warm-hearted. They created a unique perspective on videography, they truly think outside the box. The angles they capture and the quality of work produced with such small but powerful equipment is extraordinary. When they were shooting, you forgot they were in the room. It's like they are spies but they capture all the priceless moments you ever need. Forget your cell phone, they got you covered. I recently discovered that they not only do love stories or basic videography, but also unique perspective headshots, corporate level work, engagement shoots, music videos, and so much more. You could use them for literally anything.

    Best at what they do!

    After a long flight, Ian and Brandon arrived in Dublin the morning of our wedding, then a 2 hour drive, and without even a proper night's sleep got straight to work documenting one of the biggest days of our lives. They were so unobtrusive and professional, really blended in the whole day, which was really important to those of us who are camera shy.

    Our final video is a work of art, and it makes us bawl every time we watch it. Perfectly timed moments, creative shots, and an eye for detail and storytelling. Our video is something we will always treasure.

    Cannot recommend highly enough. Ian and the team are so passionate about what they do, and that shows in the quality of their work.

    These guys have talent! The videos speak for themselves! Customer service was awesome and the quality in the video is awesome! I would recommend a Cinema video of your wedding any day. It's a great way to share all aspects of your special day with all your friends. Not just a person standing around with a camcorder. Excellent work guys! You guys rock! The video brings tears of joy to my Wife's eyes every time she watches the video.

    ToyBox Productions do not give you just a typical wedding video but a unique work of art to commemorate your day with. A video that brings tears to my eyes everytime I watch. With very high professionalism, and an eye for artistic videography I will always recommend them to anyone I know!

    Toy Box Productions was the videographer for my wedding this fall in Anchorage, Alaska. We only had video for our ceremony and during our pictures. Ian did an awesome job! He was creative in his method of shooting and very thorough as well. He was very professional throughout our entire wedding. We are more than 100% happy with his work!

    Toy Box Productions did a fantastic job for our wedding. Ian and his crew followed us the whole day, but we hardly noticed it and then this beautiful video just showed up! One of their most impressive feats was pulling together a "teaser" video by the morning after the wedding. We had a small wedding and had decided to go with a videographer so that our friends and family who couldn't attend ceremony would still be able to see our day. It meant so much to us that we were able to send the teaser to everyone that morning and share our experience. The staff are professional and timely and fun to engage with. They clearly want to get to know you and what you're looking for from the video, but they have the ability to go above and beyond your own vision. I've recommended them to my own friends and colleagues, and would encourage anyone looking for a videographer to meet with the Toy Box team!

    Ian and the Toy Box crew sent us our finalized video today. Wow. I can't recommend these guys enough. The finished product is like a movie preview for a romantic comedy that I actually want to go to. The production work has to be seen to be believed. As far as the wedding itself, they were very discrete and it was easy to be natural in front of the camera, which showed in the final product. If you're in the market, do yourself a favor and go to their website to check out some of their work. You'll be blown away.

    My husband and I highly recommend working with Toy Box Productions. Ian and his team were very responsive and professional throughout our year of planning our wedding. When it came to the wedding day they did an amazing job. Orginally my husband was worried about having a camera around, but after the wedding he said he didn't even know they were there. Our wedding video turned out GREAT and we are so happy we have it to remember our special day. If you aren't thinking about doing a video, I highly recommend rethinking it and going with Toy Box Productions. You won't regret it!

    We had an excellent experience with Toy Box Productions. We booked them for a 'highlight' reel, which is a short (around 5 minute) video of our wedding day. They also have a variety of other packages available. We had looked at some of their samples online and liked that the videos were not typical, boring wedding videos.

    Ian Rushing is one of the co-owners of the company and he was the person with whom we corresponded. Ian was very responsive and professional. We met him in person prior to booking to chat about what we were interested in, pricing, etc.

    Ian and his business partner Kendall showed up early on our wedding day and shot a huge amount of footage throughout the day. It was a very long day for both of them and they were extremely kind and patient throughout the entire event. They were unobtrusive and though we were aware that they were around, it was easy to act normally with them. I am admittedly unaccustomed to having a camera around!

    Toy Box uses a website to license any of the music that is used in the video, so after the wedding, we chose a song from the website. We also decided to purchase the raw footage as my husband and I realised that there was a lot that happened that we didn't get to see.

    We received our highlight video approximately two months after our wedding and it was truly amazing. It was entertaining, interesting, and very creatively put together. The beauty of the highlight video is that people can watch it in one sitting and it keeps everyone's interest. Our turned out to be approximately 6 minutes long. We were extremely pleased with the results. When we booked Toy Box, we had initially requested that our video not be posted online for privacy reasons. After seeing how well the video turned out, we consented to having Toy Box use it publicly.

    We have not yet received our raw footage, but we're looking forward to seeing it. We're pretty sure no one else has a lot of interest in sitting through hours and hours of video, but we would like to see what happened when we weren't around!

    Ian and Mark are exceptionally talented, hard working, and creative videographers. I work in the TV news business and received a recommendation for Toy Box from a trusted co-worker. Even as a tough critic with high expectations, they went above and beyond to deliver an amazing wedding video. Watch our video (Alan + Linh); it should be proof enough of the quality of their work (they even won an award for it!). On every count, they delivered a fantastic product. They were timely and responsive to all our pre-wedding planning needs. They took the initiative and even attended the bride's salon appointment on their own accord. During the wedding, they blended in seamlessly and captured all the needed shots. And their rates are very competitive for the amount of time, attention, and quality that goes into it. Even my husband was stoked about the deal we got in retrospect. It's easily the best money you spend on the whole wedding. They are true professionals; don't let the fact that they're less established than the major companies deter you from working with them. In our view, it's really an advantage--they work harder, put more thought and attention into what they do, and create a truly unique product. They've earned these high ratings.

    I work in television and was very picky about choosing a video production company to shoot my wedding, however, Toy Box Productions performed beyond my expectations. Their team of experts, who have more than two decades of experience shooting video, captured every special moment of my day from creative angles using fresh technology. And perhaps the best part was that my husband and I barely noticed they were there. They knew our wedding day schedule and came prepared! I highly recommend Toy Box Productions for weddings! I also plan to work with them on other video projects in the future.

    We had a few months left before our wedding event and didn’t have a photography company in mind. Our Day of Coordinator, Jasmine Smith & Co. recommended ToyBox Studios and we are glad she did! Kari Harleth was our point of contact and she was great. She was responsive and attentive during the whole process. We purchased a 2 photographer package that was reasonably priced. The package included an engagement photo shoot, but we had already taken engagement photos therefore, ToyBox Studios allowed us to add the hours originally allotted to an engagement photoshoot to our wedding event. This was a huge benefit to us, as we needed the extra time for our wedding day. For our wedding event, we worked with Rob, Daniel, and Ian. All had great vibes and were professionals to us as well as our guests. It is not easy entrusting a company to capture the big moments AND little precious details of your special day, but with ToyBox Studios we felt we were in good hands and the quality of our pictures proves this. If you need photography or videography for your event, we highly recommend them.

    Best thing I could take away from my wedding day....(except my new husband). I watch "my movie" all the time and every time I show someone they are completely blown away....my parents both agreed that the wedding video was the best money they spent on "wedding stuff"

    Working with Toy Box Pro was probably the best investment we made in our wedding. Their talent is beyond compare and we are so happy with our final product. When given the timeline for our wedding day, they insisted they be apart of my hair styling at the salon even though I said it wasn't necessary which really showed me they were invested in the hours of work and making a thorough piece for our wedding day. We had a little bit of difficulty getting a response initially but once we got the ball rolling everything went very smoothly. We also invested in getting the raw footage so we can see full lengths of certain parts of our day which was an added expense so the value we gave 4 1/2 instead of 5. Cost is always a deciding factor for us, but the talent and the final product again far exceeded our expectations!! I would recommend them to anyone especially in this day and age when videos of weddings are becoming less popular.

    Thanks IAN!!
