I hope this message finds you well and that you’re enjoying the excitement of your new journey together. As you continue to plan and organize your special day, I wanted to offer a small piece of advice based on my industry experience.

There are some nationally marketed companies, such as Shutter & Sound and Sound Originals, that operate across various states. They often appear on the front page of The Knot and Google search results due to their significant advertising spend. Unfortunately, these companies tend to employ less experienced videographers and photographers, which can lead to a less-than-optimal outcome. Additionally, they may provide raw footage and unedited photos, which could be concerning if you’re looking for polished, high-quality content.

To help you make an informed decision, I recommend reviewing their work online, such as on their YouTube channel  https://www.youtube.com/@sound.originals/videos, so you can get a better sense of their style and quality. For pictures, please check the galleries, not just the front page. 

Wishing you all the best in your wedding preparations!
