St. Catharines Video Production Company Testimonials

 
  • We hired Adam to film our ceremony and we are so glad we did! The image and sound quality is great! It was very touching to see my loved one's in the video, we will cherish it forever. I didn't even notice him filming! He knows how to capture everything but also stay out of the way. I am so happy we decided to get a videographer, I have already watched it multiple times!

  • We had a truly amazing experience with the team at Captivate. Our initial meeting with Adam proved so valuable as he listened to our wedding vision and took the time and effort to figure out which one of his talented photographers would make the best fit. We had the pleasure of having Ami as our photographer. She made us feel at ease and captured us at our best and most natural. She was so incredibly patient with all the children we had at the wedding. We cannot count how many of our guests made a point to tell us how seamless she fit into our day, and ensured there were endless photos of us and all of our loved ones without missing a beat. We are beyond grateful to Ami and will treasure our wedding photos for years to come. It was the greatest day of our lives and we cannot thank Captivate enough. Ami has proven to us that Adam employs only the best. -Ash & Dean

  • I just have to say these guys are amazing. They made our wedding day flawless super easy to work with extremely professional and fantastic eye for detail. Micheal has created so many special memories for us with his eye for detail. Our father who could not make it from England is able to see our special day through the photos Micheal so beautifully took for us. I would recommend them 💯 times over

  • Would highly Recommend Adam and his team! They are very professional and know exactly what shots /angles will look best for years to come!! I’ve been to a lot of weddings saw there pictures/videos and have had many comments from the other wedding parties that they should have went with Captivate instead of the company they originally went with simply bc of the quality and passion that Captivate has for their work

  • I am SO happy I booked Adam and his team to capture my wedding day through video. I have nothing but good to say about all the guys. I LOVE pictures/videos, but my husband does not, so I was a little worried about sticking multiple cameras in his face all day. However, you forget the guys are there most of the time! They're so fun and just amazing at what they do. They know how to capture all the right angles/moments. We didn't do a first look, yet they managed to make the most beautiful same day edit to play at our reception. (how they pull it off, I'll never know)... The video captured my husband and I so perfectly; it's like we've been friends with the team for years and they knew our personality so well! Even the song choice was perfect. I am so excited to get the longer video and decided to opt in for the raw footage. Worth every penny. I already had hired a photographer before I found captivate, but considering how good their videography is, I'm sure their photography is well worth it too. I love that I can relive my wedding day through video and truly am so happy I went with Captivate!

  • Huge shoutout to Adam and his team at Captivate who joined us for our special day! Was such an amazing day for my wife and I and we know it was captured perfectly. From the same day edit of our ceremony (For my family back in Australia who were unable to make it due to Covid), our flawless photos and our one of a kind film showed "Us and our wedding day" better than we ever thought imaginable. The music, the laughs, the tears and our own personalities were drenched all over it and we couldn't ask for anything more. We have watched our film over and over and don't think we will stop for many years to come and we still find it impossible to choose a favorite photo from our large and amazing collection. There is no one else we would have wanted a part of our day and all of our family and friends, in attendance or not, always comment about how fantastic everything turned out. Quality, professional but above all else personable we are so glad we chose Captivate to be a part of our wedding day. Cheers!

  • My wife and I cannot speak highly enough of the great group of people that work for this company. The only problem with our photographs is that they're so good it makes picking the right ones hard to choose! Also, while I've never been one to enjoy looking at myself in photographs, I am so glad that we choose Captivate to capture our wedding because I absolutely love them! My bride is just so beautiful inside and out so that was easy to capture.A special thanks to Adam and Fraser who captured this very special moment in our lives.

  • Highly Recommend! We had the Captivate photo and cinema team work with on for our 2021 summer wedding. They were very flexible towards our ever changing wedding details/date and they provided endless options that worked around covid restrictions at the time. We were very happy to work with the whole Captivate team for our wedding day. The photography and videography turned out amazing and we are happy with the excellent quality. The team is very kind and they are there to capture your day rain or shine. We loved the creative design and experience they brought to our big day. Thank you Captivate!

  • "Adam and Taylor from Captivate over-delivered on every aspect of this production. Over the course of two days, they meticulously captured more than 20 pages of dialogue that we provided for use in an online training program. The attention to detail was apparent as soon as we entered the studio. Adam decided to shoot in his space and said he would turn his office into a full-out 'mixing studio' and he did just. Setting up sound panels, led lights, mixing boards and microphones all to create the effect of a professional sound studio. As soon as the cameras started rolling I knew we were in good hands. The technical knowledge Adam and Taylor showcased was impressive, to say the least. They even brought out a photographer on both days to capture some production stills which we used for promotional purposes. Once we were done, the team got to work on the editing.... He provided rough cuts of the 20+ videos with detailed notes of where we would take the project from there. Once we agreed on the narrative, Adam started filling out the project with an interesting take on b-roll which helped to create a dynamic visual piece. The overlays and graphics used were modern and eye-catching and the final delivery was on time, on budget, and everything we had hoped for. Captivate was a pleasure to work with and their professionalism and skill were second to none. We look forward to working with them again as our project develops"

  • My husband and I are so pleased with our experience with Captivate Cinema. We had to postpone our first wedding date thanks to you know what ( C Word) but we were never the less looking forward to Captivate capturing our big day. From the beginning, Adam was responsive and upbeat when communicating with us which set the mood right from the start. After meeting the rest of the crew, we knew they would be the greatest addition to our wedding day. Adam captured our wedding ceremony perfectly so that a few of our wedding guest could watch from home. We had family tune in all the way from Tennessee and Germany! Fraser and Ryan made our wedding party laugh from start to finish. They really were our “hype men” Fraser’s personality and smile really helped calm our nerves and Ryan’s calm demeanor and kindness was ... displayed effortlessly. Before leaving, the boys had a chat with Paul and I about our day and life in general - I felt sad having them leave. I think I hugged them a few times before departing because I felt like I couldn’t show my true gratitude towards them enough. The day I received the email from Taylor to say our video was complete with the link.. oh my! We watched it immediately. Taylor did an amazing job catching our silliness and light hearted relationship. Bonus that my all time favorite song made the vid. I am still watching the video every 3 days now to relive the best days of our lives, but we look forward to watching our day play out 10, 20 years from now. Thank you so much Captivate Team for spotlighting our brightest day ❤️

  • We booked captivate photo+cinema for our wedding this year. We booked during a time of uncertainty (covid restrictions) with the hopes that we would be able move forward with our day. Adam and his team were great at reassuring that they would do their best to reschedule and ensure we are comfortable the day of. Thankfully we didn’t have to reschedule but that reassurance was great. The day of: Adam and Fraser arrived early to set up and meet everyone. They were both amazing with making me feel comfortable infront of the camera and making the bridal party laugh to get some great shots. They were also the best hype men that a bride could ask for on the wedding day.My groom and I did a first look and they arranged it perfectly to make sure we didn’t see each other before. They gave us a chance to be candid with our pictures as well as posed us when necessary. I was blown away when I received an email just a few days after the wedding with a link to our photos because ... Adam knew how excited I was to see them. We spent the rest of our honeymoon obsessing over every picture. I honestly didn’t think it was possible to LOVE every photo out of 100s. They made it impossible to choose which ones our favourites are and we are still trying to decide! Thank you again!! You guys captured our day perfectly.

  • We recently had the privilege of working with Adam, our wedding photographer for a 3 day event, and we couldn't be more delighted with the experience. From the moment we began our search for a photographer, Adam stood out as a true professional who demonstrated a wealth of knowledge and genuine enthusiasm for his craft. His exceptional service and warm demeanor throughout the entire process left us thoroughly impressed. From the initial meeting, Adam's approach was far from pushy. He patiently answered all of our questions and provided invaluable insights, helping us understand what to expect and what we should be looking for in a wedding photographer. This professionalism and transparency instantly put us at ease, and we knew we had found someone we could trust with capturing our special moments.

    What truly set Adam apart, though, was the way he seamlessly integrated into our small event. Over the course of those 3 days, he became more than just a photographer; he felt like a part of our family. It was evident that he genuinely cared about us and our special day, and his heartfelt excitement added a beautiful touch to the whole experience. His friendly and approachable nature made working with him a breeze. One of the most crucial aspects of a wedding photographer is their ability to make the couple feel comfortable in front of the camera, and Adam excelled at this. His unobtrusive and reassuring presence allowed us to be ourselves, and we never felt nervous or self-conscious during the photoshoots. He effortlessly captured candid moments and emotions, resulting in authentic and breathtaking photographs that we will cherish forever.

    Adam's dedication to his craft and his passion for what he does shine through in every photograph he took. His attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of our wedding surpassed our expectations. The end results were stunning and truly reflected the love and joy we experienced on our special day. We wholeheartedly recommend Adam to anyone in need of a wedding photographer. He is not just a talented professional but also a wonderful person who adds a unique and heartwarming touch to the wedding experience. Choosing Adam was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we are immensely grateful for the memories he has preserved for us. Thank you, Adam, for making our wedding truly unforgettable!
