Client Comments
Unsolicited notes from some of our past clients about their experiences with Focal Point Digital Media:
"Where do we begin thanking you?! Our wedding video is so beyond amazing. Pictures are wonderful, but this video has to be the best purchase of the entire wedding! You are so incredibly talented and we are so honored to have had the opportunity to work with you. I have been getting the most wonderful feedback from people who have been able to watch our video online. You should be VERY proud of the work you've done! So many of our friends and family have said that they've cried when they watched it. For those people that weren't able to make it to our wedding, it's been so awesome to still be able to share our day with them. Thank you for all of your time and effort, and please send any prospective couples my way for a recommendation! We are spreading the word: Focal Point is the best!"
• Shannon & Ryan
"Wow! I don't even know where to begin... Words cannot thank you enough for the beautiful wedding video. It is more incredible than we could have ever imagined! Each time we watch it we are moved to tears and can't believe how you captured the magic of our wedding day so perfectly. Everyone who has seen it has been completely blown away... The special effects are amazing and the way everything came together is so beautiful. I loved how you were able to capture such incredible detail–there were so many little things that were picked up that we didn't remember, and now we'll have them to treasure forever. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this gift. We will treasure it for the rest of our lives... You are amazing!"
• Katie & Todd, California
"I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the video! It was absolutely spectacular! We watched it start to finish with all of the special features etc, and then watched the short-form version again–wow, we really love it! Months ago we were unable to decide whether or not we wanted to have the video at all and when we saw it we both decided it was the best money we spent on the wedding–it is absolutely amazing and we can't thank you enough. Believe me, if anyone ever asks for the name of a videographer, you will get my highest recommendation! It has been an absolute pleasure working with you–thank you for the amazing video and for helping to record our wedding day."
• Kassandra & Michael, New York
"The many people we have shown our video to have bawled their way through it, even those that attended the actual event, and all have remarked that our video is the best they have ever seen. I have let all my family, friends, aquaintences, even strangers, know that Focal Point is the one they can trust to not only produce an outstanding show, but to help the actual day go so much more smoothly. I remember the hectic time before the ceremony, and I was about to breakdown crying from the confusion of the moment, when you, Ryan, saw my face, took charge, and started directing our photo shoot. I would have lost it without you knowing, from experience, how to read your bride and advocate for her! You saved the day (or at least my makeup)! From start to finish, from filming our Love Story to viewing the DVD, our experience with Focal Point was nothing but fun, easy and worry-free! Thank you so much for giving Jason and I the most precious of wedding gifts."
• Katie & Jason
"Our videos came yesterday, and all we can say is OHMYGOSH, WOW!!!! You did such an amazing job, the videos are everything we hoped for and more!! I can't believe we even considered passing on the video, it is so important and caught a ton of things we forgot about or never saw. John and I always say we don't know what we'd do without our wedding video and I feel very strongly that every couple getting married needs one. And not just ANY video of course, it has to be shot by you! You captured the most sincere moments we had with each other and with family and friends, and these things are now preserved on these videos we'll have forever. It's just incredible. We will definitely continue to sing your praises and recommend you to anyone we know getting married. I can't say it enough: it's WONDERFUL. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your hard work and amazing talent!! You were a pleasure to work with and I am so grateful to you guys for the work you do. You're the best!!!"
• Lindsay & John
"I just wanted to let you know how thrilled Brenda and Jason are with their wedding video. Brenda's words were, "Mom, you don't have to get us anything or do anything for us ever again, because nothing can top this." I was so happy to hear that. She has just watched it over and over and over and says she can't believe what an awesome job you did putting it together. Thank you soooo much."
• Sheryl, mother of a groom
"I don't know how I can express how much we really are so happy with our wedding video. We have looked at our pictures twice since we've gotten them but we've probably watched the video at least a dozen times! It's not that we like to watch ourselves but it just captures every moment perfectly, with BEAUTIFUL music and cool features... something pictures just can't do. So thank you again for doing such a wonderful job. We even have a list of people wanting to "rent" it from our parents–people that couldn't attend our wedding and even people that were there and loved watching the Love Story that you shot. You were a huge hit."
• Ginny & Aaron
"I wanted to drop you a line after seeing our fantastic video. It was more than we could have ever expected! The way you edited the footage is beyond professional. The moments you captured were emotionally charged and a joy to watch. The highlight section in particular was the perfect memento of our perfect day. Thank you for a fabulous job and a painless experience."
• Michelle & Steve, Michigan
"Let me start by saying we loved the video! We have watched it so many times, and it brings us and others to tears every time we watch it."
• Sallie & Mike
"Ryan, I know you worked really hard on the video, and Lamont and I love it. There were parts that made me cry... We love you and the video, and we are so happy Focal Point filmed our day. You deserve a lot of credit for everything you do. Thanks again for all of your effort from beginning to end!"
• Monica & Lamont, Arizona (2007 WEVA Creative Excellence Awards finalist: Reception Coverage)
"Ryan, I can't even tell you in words how much we LLLLLOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! the video! It is the best I've ever seen!! Thank you so very much!! I promise you, everyone I know who is getting married I will make sure they get a hold of you. I can' tell you how nice it was working with you. You made my experience so easy... you are the best!"
• Erika & Dylan
"We just received the DVDs for our daughter's wedding and we were thrilled to get the video. We were filled with emotion as we watched the entire video that evening. You did a SPECTACULAR job. I especially enjoyed the special features and how you arranged everything; it's much nicer than we ever expected and very professional. Thank you so much for all the work, time and extra effort you put into creating this. This is a lifelong gift to us and for Angie and James that we could never duplicate. We will definitely recommend you to others."
• Don & Ruth, parents of a bride
"Thank you for all your hard work on our wedding day! James and I thought you did a really great job and covered all of the special moments of the day without seeming intrusive at all. You were great to work with and very accommodating. Lots of our guests commented on how great our videographer was, so we'll pass along your name. Our DVD, as expected, is fantastic! We really like the short form edited version of the video and the soundtrack, and also the way all of the special features are broken down and available in full length. The guest comments section was pretty funny... those are our crazy friends for you!"
• Angie & James, Australia
"We received our wedding DVD and loved it!!! I think we have watched it about five times now! Thank you for doing such a great job!! It is priceless and I am SO glad we decided to use you guys... it was truly the best thing we did by having you guys document our wedding day. Thank you for the wonderful memories we will have forever!"
• Nicole & Nat, Washington
"Thanks to all of you for the excellent jobs that each of you did for us. You created and captured our children's most important days in their lives, and you did it with such professionalism and integrity. My mother passed away shortly after Stacey and Dustin's wedding and I will forever treasure having her last days on film. You were fun to work with and we would highly recommend Focal Point to anyone looking for excellent videography. Again, thanks to each of you!"
• Cindy & Bill, repeat customers & parents of a bride and a groom
"Thank you! I appreciate how easy you are to work with. It sure is nice to have such open lines of communication with you and to know that you are so helpful and laid back."
• Kelsey & Jordon
"Both Jason and I are stunned by the quality and professionalism of our DVDs. As a couple who spent a pretty penny on photography and were significantly dissapointed in the results, we would tell brides-to-be (and their daddies!) SPEND the money on Focal Point. These guys do not get it wrong. Do what you have to do in your wedding budget, cut what you have to cut, to make Ryan your videographer. It will be the best decision you will make in the wedding planning process and the best money you will ever spend. To have those moments caught on tape is more precious than we could have imagined before the actual day and I know that for years to come we will cherish the ability to re-live that first glance, our vows, and the toasts from our loved ones!"
• Katie & Jason
"I can't tell you how many times my family, friends and I have watched our wedding video - and we can't hear enough good things about it! It really is the best money we ever spent!"
• Sarah & Michael
"We watched our video last weekend for the first time. We loved it! You did a very nice job and we liked all the shots. I am so thankful we got a video! The video is almost better, if not equal to our photos! I love all the memories, the moments you captured on video are awesome! Thank you again for all your help. Beautiful job, well done! It's like our own movie!"
• Tiffanie & Warren
"The video is absolutely AMAZING!!! We are soooo happy... you guys are really AWESOME! We love it! Thank you!"
• LaDonna, mother of a bride
"We love it! It was so fun to see parts of the day I don't remember, it was all such a blur! The video was all so beautiful and I love how the music worked with it too. We haven't watched everything on the DVD yet but we are really enjoying it. Thank you so much for all your hard work!"
• Becky & Darren
"We received a lot of comments on what a good job you both did and how unintrusive you both were. Thanks again!"
• Michaela, mother of a groom
"Oh my gosh! We have watched the video a couple of times already and we just love it! So much thanks goes out to you... it is priceless."
• Lori & Matt
"We have been so impressed with your work since you did my daughter Sarah's wedding video. We have said so many times that the money that we spent on that video was the best money we could have spent. To think that we were going to pass on the video. We have shown the video over and over again to many people. Sarah's best friend will be getting married I think, within the next year or so, and I will strongly encourage her to hire you. It would be good to see you again and see more of your work. Congratulations again Ryan, and lot's of continued success to you!!!!"
• Janis, mother of a bride
"Thank you guys so much for the video! We absolutely love it! We had so much fun watching our wedding all over again. It was really fun to watch the messages from our guests too! Thanks for all your hard work."
• Aja & Eric
"A large heartfelt thanks to Ryan and Dan for those unforgettable images they captured on our wedding day. The video exceeded our expectations!
