If you have the opportunity to book Captivate for any event, especially your wedding, we highly recommend taking advantage of that! Make sure you book them ASAP so you get your date as we could not imagine having gone with anyone else.
The greatest responsibility falls to the people you decide to capture your wedding as it is the only thing (besides your dress) that you will have left when all is said and done. Don’t leave your years of planning to chance and listen to all the amazing reviews these guys have already gotten.
We decided to go with the photo and video and their work in both areas blew us out of the water.
My husband and I are both some of the most awkward people on camera but Adrian made us feel comfortable the minute we met him. His skill exceeds expectations and even though we felt awkward, you are unable to see that in any of his photos.
He took the time to get to know us and utilized that to make us stay in the moment while he was taking photos, yelling out little jokes to make us genuinely laugh the minute he was taking a photo.
On our wedding day, he worked with both my husband and I to ensure we didn’t see each other before the wedding (as per our wishes) going so far to text my husband whenever we were going outside the building to make sure there were no accidental run ins.
The level of professionalism Adrian and his team showed was absolutely astounding, I did not have to think twice about whether I needed to worry about a picture I wanted that they may miss as they caught everything, including pictures I didn’t even know I would want!
They were a great addition to our wedding not only doing their job but going above and beyond to interact with our guests to ensure they felt comfortable with the camera as well. We were very impressed with how they captured all of our friends and family at some point in the evening all the while filming to create the beautiful video they made for us.
While the pictures themselves were absolutely pristine (there was not one picture we did not like) we were absolutely blown away by the wedding video.
We were weary about getting the video as we have seen some where all the company does is recap your ceremony, but Captivate managed to capture our entire wedding day into a 7 minute video. The care and creativity they put into the video is very apparent and everyone who has seen it has said how well done it is. The editing is seamless and the video quality beyond what we expected. Some of the shots they got were so outside the box in such an amazing way that the first time we watched it we actually looked at each other and said “woah” then we had to watch it about 6 more times that night as it was just unbelievable.
We feel we really lucked out by choosing captivate. There are so many options for photo and video out there, it is hard to know you chose the right one. Rest assured, if you choose Captivate you will be getting the highest level of quality and the greatest team of people to freeze your perfect day with such care, you would think they were shooting their own wedding.
This is the work you deserve after putting in so much planning into your day, don’t pass them up, you will be sorry if you do.
