We hired Rik because he did a great job with my brother in laws video. Rik is very talented and was nice to be around on our wedding day.
BUT
I would not recommend him. His commu...
nication with couples is almost non-existent. I requested a call with him before our wedding, and that never happened. His contract calls for anywhere between 3-12 minutes for a video which is ridiculous. Most videographers offer packages like 3-5 minutes, 6-8 mins, or 10-12 minutes.
When he asked what kind of vibe we wanted for our wedding, I said "bright and uplifting". Nothing about our video is bright and uplifting. The coloring is very dark, the music is very sad, theres moments when my wife and I are entirely out of focus. Theres a weird section were everything is shaky.
There were SO many important moments that were left out of our video. Had he responded to my email about meeting before the wedding I think we could have avoided this. We could've told him what is and what isn't important to us in a wedding video.
My wedding planner had to email him multiple times as well, just to get an answer from him.
When we brought our concerns over our video to him, he was less than accommodating. He wanted to charge us $100 an hour for a re-edit (most videographers will allow up to 2-3 free edits before charging), and offered to change the song for free but it came off like he was trying to talk us out of it.
I work in the wedding industry and had multiple videographers compare my video to the other videos he produced and ALL of them said it seemed like our video was rushed and thrown together.
All of my family and friends have expressed disappointment in our video and repeatedly said it comes across as very "serious and sad", which is so embarrassing.
Rik was wonderful to work with! We were impressed with how smoothly he integrated with our photographer and displayed the ultimate professionalism!
Rik was my wedding videographer for my NJ December 2023 wedding, and HE WAS GREAT! I would 100% recommend One Shot Creates for ALL NJ Bride’s wedding videography!! Rik was a pleasu...
re to work with, has a very easy-going attitude that is very calming to be around on a very busy day! Rik showed up early on our wedding day and went back and forth between the bride’s getting ready location and the Groom’s getting ready location all morning to capture every moment! He truly was a fly on the wall of the rest of our day, never imposing himself on the photographer or the Bride and Groom, he just candidly captured our entire day and beautifully delivered on a true cinematic piece which I watch and smile at frequently! I also appreciate having all the raw footage for myself so truly every moment was captured! Hiring One Shot Creates as your Wedding Videographer for all NJ Brides should be a no brainer!
Rik is the absolute best! From the jump he was very willing to answer any questions and walked us through exactly what it is that he does from start to finish the day of the weddin...
g. We instantly clicked with him and knew that he was the guy for us. Come wedding day he went above and beyond our expectations. He captured every shot we could have asked for and was great at making us feel comfortable as we moved through the day. He fit perfectly into the background like you wouldn't even know he was there. He also helped us with plenty of ideas for poses and things he knew would look great in the video. He also got along with everyone in the wedding party as well as our other vendors. He was without a doubt an integral part of our day and we couldn't have asked for a better guy. He delivered our video to us quicker than we had expected as well as all our other raw footage. We love the video and he underlaid the perfect music to it. We wouldn't change a thing. Our experience with Rik was top notch and we truly don't have enough good things to say about him. His work is great quality and extremely reasonably priced. We had a great time and would without a doubt use Rik again for any other upcoming events we have.
We found Rik and One Shot Media through my brother and sister in law. He did such a fantastic job with capturing their video, we felt confident we could trust him with ours and man...
he did not disappoint. Rik and his assistant are fantastic videographers. They really caught the essence of our whole wedding day. Rik was incredibly friendly and happy to make suggestions on what would look best or make the most sense without overstepping. He worked great with our photographers and made it easy for us to not have to worry about anything video related on our wedding day. Rik managed some difficult conditions, from incredibly loud traffic and construction on the road directly behind us, to trying to record our dog, who was participating in his own special way. He dealt with all the curveballs masterfully. We can’t even hear the construction or traffic in videos and there are great shots of our dog as well as us and everyone else. Rik also made a fantastic video of the entire evening that made us and everyone we shared it with well up with joy. It was beautiful. It was also great to have our vows, the ceremony and the toasts in their own videos as well. It's great watching back all the raw footage too! We can’t thank Rik enough for everything he did and can’t recommend him highly enough!
Rik was so fun to work with! His humor and personality made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I can't wait to see what magic he makes with our wedding video. Definitel...

about a videographer in the first place! If you are on the fence of wanting a videographer - just get one and book Rik. Sometimes I wouldn't even know he was there, but I know he was capturing all of the important moments of our day. He worked so well with our photographer and made sure to capture everything that was happening throughout the day. Anyone would be lucky to have Rik as their wedding videographer!

Our video was everything we could have hoped for and Rik was amazing to work with. He was great at communicating with us and was sure to ask what parts of the day were most important to us. He made sure to capture all the tears and laughter and beauty of our wedding day. He blended SO well with our photographer too. They became a team together working to capture the whole day from start to finish flawlessly. Even though it is his job, you can tell his heart is in it and he cares about the quality of the product that he delivers to each client. We highly recommend One Shot Media, you won't regret working with Rik.

ces were amazing and well worth it! He worked all day long to make sure he captured everything important- big or small- and truly cared about helping us have the best wedding day possible. The wedding video he created was better than I could have ever imagined! My husband and I cried the whole time we viewed it; it brought us back to our special day in a way that photos just can't. Your wedding lasts one day but videos and raw footage last forever. Rik is professional, affordable, and so talented-I would recommend One Shot Media in a heartbeat!
