the video you produced of our daughter and son in law's wedding.

Words cannot express how absolutely AMAZING Godfather Films is. My husband and I have decided that this was the very best investment that we could have made. We had SEVERAL video...
s made with Godfather Films. One of them was a skit we played for our rehearsal dinner, the other was a 4 minute on-the-spot same-day edited video we played at our reception party, another was a 20 minute video of our 3 day wedding, and yet another video was a lookback. We are eagerly awaiting a series of 1 hour videos of each day of our magical wedding.
EVERY SINGLE TIME I watch our videos, I cry like a baby!! The videos allow us to relive how absolutely spectacular our wedding was. I am even taken aback by moments that I missed because I was too busy being a bride:) The wedding videos truly take us back in time to cherish the most amazing weekend of our lives.
I can't say enough about John and his son Chip. We decided last minute to have 2 videographers instead of 1, and that was one of the best decisions we ever made. Every single precious moment was captured. And by having the second person, we were able to show our guests some highlights edited live the day of the reception party.
John and Chip are two of the most caring people that we have ever met. Everyone at our wedding loved them and never felt uncomfortable about having the cameras around them. Their personalities are so sweet and caring that they became part of our family.
My husband and I have decided to hire them every year so that we can do a family video. We now fully realize how important it is to document the most memorable moments of your life.
Thanks John and Chip! Godfather Films ROCKS!!!
If you'd like to see the video, go to http://vimeo.com/71215471. The first 4 minutes is a skit we did in central park and the second 4 minutes is highlights from our 3 day weekend wedding in beautiful Puerto Rico.
P.S. If you are considering hiring Godfather Films, definitely opt for the lookback video!! I cried hysterically the first time that I watched it. I am not sure which video made me cry more; the lookback or the 20 minute video of all three days.
Thanks again Godfather Films!!!

Godfather Films is by far the best videographer around. They filmed our wedding on July 5, 2013 at Ponte Winery in Temecula and produced an absolutely beautiful short and long fil...
m. They went above and beyond their scope of work and stayed with us until 2am filming our after party. They arrive when you tell them to, and they leave when the party is over. We could not have asked for anything more from them and we highly recommend them to anyone who is taking part in an important event!! We already booked them for our 25th anniversary!!! :)
Godfather Films did an amazing job with capturing our big day!I can watch our video over and over! Kudos to John and his crew for providing us with professional service and quality...

My husband and I love our wedding video. John and his staff was easy and professional to work with. We are very happy that we have chosen Godfather film.
They were amazing and their work made my wedding unforgettable.
God Father Films did a great job for our wedding. We decided 1 month before the wedding that we would like to have videographer. We were lucky they were available for our wedding d...
ate. My mom was diagnosed with ALS and was not going to be able to make it to the wedding. GFF went over and above the expectations and delivered rough cut video for my mom to review immediately following the wedding, and the final product a few weeks later was also very lovely to send to our family and friends.
I loved the work that Godfather Films did for my sister's wedding. He is honestly the best videographer in the world. I have never seen such breathtaking work that is of Emmy quali...

:) They were on time, very sweet and were professional.
Godfather Films is by far the best choice we could have made for our Wedding! As if their work isn't enough, the minute we met John Goolsby...we signed the contract! John has an ...
amazing energy about him and he LOVES his job!
Godfather films is a unique wedding filmmaking company who will not deliver any "cheesy" typical wedding video antics! John Goolsby put me at ease with his non-invasive approach. Most of the day I didn't even know he was there! And when he spoke to me...I felt comfortable and relaxed by his loving, sweet way. We also hired someone John referred to us and we were also VERY happy with his suggestion. John never steered us wrong!
I never thought the vendors could add to the energy of a wedding but that's exactly what happened! CHOOSE WISELY!!! And if you choose Godfather Films...you will be extremely happy!
If we had to do our wedding all over again...we would ABSOLUTELY hire Godfather Films!!
I've had the joy of watching John at work over several occassions and it was by far the best vendor decision we made before we were even engaged. John gave us a personalized packag...
e for videography so we could capture and relive the magic for years to come. He was onsite and working seamlessly throught the day. My groom and guests never felt intruded by a team of assistants with bright spotlights, which was very important to me. I wanted to capture the day, not feel the day would stop and start for good photo-ops.
We also opted for a day-after session where we got to revisit the wedding and tell our love story to be included in our DVD package...so when we're old and gray we have those glorious conversations documented.
John has a very natural, easy spirit that you can sense upon meeting and translates allthe way to his editing. We look forward to working with him again in the future.
We really enjoyed working with John!! He was so much fun the day of and I was so excited that he was there to capture everything. He makes you feel so relaxed that you don't realiz...
e that he is even there with a video camera. Don't even think about having a wedding without getting a videographer - and you definitely want this one.
It is on the expensive side - it can cost as much as the photographer. However, you get what you pay for. The video is something we will cherish forever.
It took me a while to decide whether I wanted to spend the money on a videographer and I am sooo glad I decided to. These guys are AMAZING, professional, fun & so wonderful. ...
It was one of the best decisions I made hiring them to video tape my wedding. The guy was super sweet and he was EVERYWHERE...I don't think anything was missed! I can't wait to see my video...I have the utmost of confidence that it will be wonderful.
