friend and to you!

and long vignette videos! We requested a full video of the church ceremony and we had both Chad and Samantha to capture different angles - the editing of the different angles and shots were excellent quality. Chad was a nice calming presence throughout the day and was very easy going, which is what we needed! It was also a pleasure corresponding with Chad prior to and after our wedding. He was very quick to respond. Thank you, Chad!

g day, all while letting us live in the moment. We often forgot we were being filmed, which really made the video a genuine reflection of our day. Thank you so much for everything!

big day, and capturing all of the best moments! We appreciate you and THANK YOU for all you’ve done!

, all the way up through our wedding day. His laid back, yet professional way of going about his process makes him a wonderful wedding videographer. The quality of his work is absolutely outstanding and he truly captured every important detail of our special day. He is extremely flexible and an overall pleasure to work with. As a side note, I, the bride, lost my voice on my wedding day. This made for very interesting vows during our wedding ceremony where I basically had no voice at all. Chad offered his creative and skilled experience in the field and had me record a voice over following the wedding which he seamlessly edited into the film to make it appear that I actually had a voice that day. I go so far as to share this because it truly shows how he was willing to go the extra mile to ensure we were happy with the final result. I highly recommend Chad and his company for all of your videography needs, you will truly cherish all of the time and effort that he is willing to put into your special day and memories you will cherish for a lifetime.

ganic and natural and not of the "posing" nature - he truly captures moments without stopping what you're doing and that is what us two brides were looking for. Thank you, Chad for coming to our rescue when we needed you most, great communication, prompt responses, just overall gave us the attention and professionalism we were looking for. Looking forward to our short film delivery soon! K + C

accommodate to what I wanted. My husband talked to Chad a lot during our wedding and kept saying how kind he was! Would highly recommend!

ve a video and he did not disappoint! The video is gorgeous, shows off so many amazing memories of the day, and is something I will treasure forever. I think within the 24 hours I've had the video, I've watched it 10-20 times, it's so beautiful. I'm so thankful that I chose to work with Chad, and would do it 10x over!

ay the video was shot and edited is beautiful and we love it! We can’t thank Chad enough & highly recommend booking him for your wedding video!

m all day - he was very behind the scenes yet upon receiving the videos we saw how he captured every beautiful moment of the day in such a wonderful light! His artistry, attention to detail, kindness, professionalism, and videographer skills are incredible! We are forever grateful for sharing his craft with us! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic videographer!!

pture for us! Book him!!

Chad was super responsive throughout the entire process. Video was provided slightly earlier than the 12 weeks expected. The quality of the disc was excellent and looks great on a large-screen TV. Thanks Chad and team!

ong videos yesterday. They were both amazing! We can’t wait to share these with our family and friends! Thank you Chad!

ble booking. It’s a good thing that they did, because we were beyond fortunate to work with Chad to capture the video for our wedding day. Chad was organized, friendly, and easily amenable to our suggestions and direction for the day. The drone videos were important to us, and Chad used them to great effect alongside the rest of the footage he captured of the day. Not only was Chad great at capturing everything as we had asked, he was also extremely professional and punctual. I actually felt bad because he was so much more responsive than we were, even following up after submitting the final video to ensure we were happy. Do not hesitate to work with Chad. He is fair, eager to please, and extremely easy to work with. Thank you, Chad!

extremely impressed with the quality. Chad did a wonderful job capturing our wedding ceremony and was able to add an additional camera to get two different angles of coverage which we appreciate SO much! The price we paid was very reasonable. Chad edited the video nicely and sent it to us super quickly; I was amazed how fast we got it! I am really happy with the whole experience working with Chad and the quality of our wedding video. I highly recommend him!

of our guests didn't even realize he was there! I shared our video with friends and family and they are so impressed. Would highly recommend to anyone!

o see the rest!!!!

friends!

he is very professional, responsive, and easy to work with. We're thrilled with our video!

nd his wife are super professional, easy to be around, capture all of the important moments and the extra special ones too! You won’t be disappointed choosing them for your wedding day.

d I were looking for, I am so happy we found him! Highly recommend!!!

cided to work with Chad as he provided us with a video that we could not be happier with capturing every detail! Chad and Samantha arrived at the church early to set up and hook up the groom with a wireless mic which captured every word during the ceremony. Throughout the day, we felt like we were always on the move and Chad and Samantha were always in the best spot to capture all our moments and details. When we received our teaser trailer (like 2 days after our wedding!) we noticed so many candid moments that were captured, such as the groom casually playing with the wedding ring. And when we reviewed our final video we were so impressed with how Chad cut together the moments of our day, timed the transitions to the music perfectly, and even adjusted the speed of some moments to create artful transitions between a fast-passed song and our first slower dance. We trusted Chad to capture our special day and he did not disappoint. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and was even able to incorporate some of our wedding photos into the video and it came out amazing! Throughout the process, Chad always responded quickly via e-mail and kept us updated on his progress. He was so patient in working with us and is all about making his customers happy. Before finalizing our video, he sent us a copy of it and asked for our feedback. The video was amazing, and we couldn’t stop watching it on repeat. After taking in all the special moments, admiring Chad’s attention to detail, and enjoying how the video paired with the audio and music so perfectly and creatively, we had a few requests. We noticed that a few special moments to us were missing from the first cut, so we asked Chad if he could add it in. He responded right away and was able to update the video with no issues quickly. It’s nice to work with someone who is a true professional and has an eye for detail. We are so lucky to be able to relive our perfect day for the rest of our life with a huge smile on our faces and a happy tear once in while 😊! Thank you, Chad!!

right videographer. He offers a high quality documentary style video for a good price while other videographers may not. Chad was so easy to work with from day 1. He followed up after the wedding and set expectations of when we would receive our video. We just got our recap yesterday and we are blown away. Our family and friends cannot get enough. We cannot wait to get our full length video. Thank you Chad & Samantha for capturing our big day so beautifully.

les are hesitant to include video for their wedding. My advice would be that it is so worth it, and that Chad is the best of the best! We cannot thank him enough for his talent and vision!

emailed us back and we ended up calling him and having a long discussion with him on the phone. We easily decided to use him as our videographer. Other videographers in this price point are larger companies who send a person to your wedding without you really knowing who they are. After speaking with Chad it was clear that he was the perfect person for us. If you haven't visited his personal website, we highly recommend doing so and watching the videos that he has posted. Initially, we chose the cheapest option which I believe was one videographer for 6 hours. After meeting with Chad personally, we decided to upgrade to a package with 2 videographers for 8 hours and 4K video. This was another easy decision for us. The 2nd videographer was Chad's wife, Samantha. Once you book with Chad, he will ask you to send him a list of songs that you would like included in your videos. It was amazing to us how important the music is to your feeling of the videos that he has posted on his website. So chosing music that fits your style will make your video so much more personal. Both Chad and Samantha were amazing to work with. There was never a moment that was staged. They came in and just told us to be natural, it was very easy. To be honest, we never really noticed them taping during the wedding. They were able to get their shots without us even knowing. Chad came along with the wedding party to the porait part right after the ceremony. Samantha stayed behind to get some shots of our guests enjoying the cocktail hour. It was really fun having Chad with us during the portraits, he was able to catch some moments of fun that would have been otherwise missed by photography. We haven't seen the finished product yet, but we are confident that we will be very pleased with it. Chad and Samantha were a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a videographer. It was comforting that they were a family business in CT and that we knew exactly who would be working with us on our wedding day.

casion!

ad and Samantha were both able to catch our ceremony even though it rained (it was outdoors). It wasn't the most convenient thing to happen during your own ceremony but we still have the video to look back on and the cameras kept rolling regardless of the downpour. Chad was timely with the delivery of the video and he was easy to get in contact with. Definitely a great option if you choose to have a videographer at your wedding! Thank you Chad and Samantha!

would capture photographs that day. A quality video that would allow us to relive that day for years to come, however, was invaluable. To be able to continuously rewind those fantastic, fleeting moments was all I wanted. Those spectacular, once-in-a-lifetime moments I daydreamed about for so long would come and go so quickly, but a video would preserve those moments for always. And not only would it allow us to relive the moments we loved … we’d actually be able to see those moments from our guests’ perspective, and we could experience some of the moments we missed by virtue of being the bride and groom. I spent hours researching and watching the work products of many skilled videographers. And Chad was the one I kept going back to. His video montages online were moving and beautiful. He has an eye for detail, and he strives for perfection. The fact that he also happened to be very reasonably priced was an extra bonus. From the very start, Chad demonstrated great character. He was always so easy to work with and reliable. However, the true test of his character resulted from a disappointment I experienced. He worked with me until I was happy, never losing patience or making me feel like I was too picky. Even just based on that experience alone, I would recommend Chad Whelan. That was priceless, and I am sincerely grateful. I have never understood why more couples don’t consider videographers to be a necessity among the many vendors they hire for their wedding day. But Chad and his wife make a great professional team, and I would recommend them to any bride and groom looking for that ultimate keepsake.

ven notice he was there resulting us to act more natural and care free. They stayed till nearly the end and my wedding preparation started at 8am and ended at midnight. I would highly recommend Chad Whelan

ith, professional and attentive. He captured the essence of our wedding on camera and enhanced it with his creativity. He always responded to any communication in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Digital Wave Productions, chadwhelan.com

He is very professional and his work is high quality. He also incorporated our vows and everyone's speeches. He did it so nicely. I love our video! I am so lucky to have had Chad do our video!

, and knew how to bring the personality out of people. He was professional, affordable, and creative!
