One Tree Studios

her for their big day! I absolutely love my video!

the way. For our engagement pictures, my husband and I were a little nervous and a lot awkward. Matt made us feel very comfortable and was very imaginative and our pictures came out perfectly. On our wedding day, Matt and Josh were so professional and amazingly creative and our pictures came out more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. The turn-around for our engagement photos was only 3 weeks; and 5 for our wedding. Amazing! Again, I cannot express how happy I am with our pictures and how wonderful Matt was to work with. I have perfect photos of our perfect day that will last a lifetime.

ee Studios! Cost=great, timing=great, final product=great.

including all of the wedding day and put them all in to an incredible 4 minute video. I can't stop watching the video I love it so much. Thanks 71 Studios for creating such a memorable video of our favorite weekend!

nal, and fun, and they took the time to get to know us on a personal level in order to showcase our likes and personalities in our unbelievable wedding documentary. It has truly been a blast to share our video with our friends and family, and they can't stop commenting about the professionalism and artistry captured in our film. One Tree Studios is THE BEST KC has to offer in wedding videography, hands down. My husband and I highly recommend them to anyone searching for an unforgettable way to capture your wedding day. You won't be disappointed!

d into the background on the day of, I hardly remember seeing them during the event but they were there capturing every important moment! I would highly recommend using them for your big day! Best decision ever!

h. Everything I could have ever dreamed of was captured. It really portrayed who we are as a couple and family. I would recommend 71 Studios to absolutely anyone.

helped us figure out what we wanted, but never pressured us into buying more than we wanted to spend money on. He worked with our budget and helped us find ways to cut costs. The package still included our engagement pictures (which were fantastic!), plenty of time to get all the wedding photos, and an custom album! What really sealed the deal was that we were able to download all our pictures to use however we like. We LOVE how Matt captured our personalities and the atmosphere of the wedding. He was extremely comfortable to work with and stayed so calm even though we were on a tight schedule for pictures before and after the ceremony. This helped me so much! If you're looking for someone that is great at capturing amazing pictures in the midst of all the wedding chaos, Matt is your guy!

ave us a good sense of what type of photos we were going to get from him (in addition to the wedding books he brought along which was nice to peek through photos in person, not just online). We were really looking for a natural photographer, someone to capture the whole day the way it really was, so it was important to us that the photographer enjoyed and had a lot of examples of candid photos because that was more important to us than portraits (although the portraits were great as well!) We chose One Tree because the style of photos were different than what you typically see, we loved that and also because we felt comfortable with Matt, which we thought was really important considering neither of us like being photographed. The engagement session was a great trial run. We wanted to take photos at the restaurant where we got engaged but found out shortly before we were starting that it was closed and Matt was really flexible - he already had other ideas of locations in mind. It was also a day with 114 degree heat index and he, along with us, suffered through it without any complaints. He was fantastic at capturing the moment while we were walking and talking like we normally would so we felt very at ease. He also did am amazing job getting a lot of different scenery in the photo at just one location - we were really surprised and happy at how the photos looked like we took them in multiple different locations! We also had a pretty tight turn around for the photos, we wanted to use them for our save the dates that needed to be mailed in two weeks and he was extremely accommodating, we had the photos back in less than a week which we really appreciated. Leading up to the wedding, Matt had good recommendations for our timeline from his experiences at weddings which was helpful and was open to the locations we wanted to go to for photos as well as suggesting locations that would look good for our winter wedding. Day of - amazing! When Matt was with the ladies, it felt like he wasn't even there, it never felt like he was intruding to get a shot or that we needed to permanently smile because the camera was on us. He got photos of absolutely everything and more at my home with the ladies before the wedding and Nancy, the second photographer got a lot of great shots with the men as well! At the wedding, same situation, Matt and Nancy were not in the line of sight at all and I never noticed either of them taking photos. The end result was fantastic - we are so happy with all of our photos! The use of space and light in our photos is fantastic... we were extremely impressed at how great each photo looked, the creativity behind each one and how the photos truly documented our whole day and got things on camera we never got to see. And we got the photos back in a week! Overall - I would highly recommend. Very easy going and extremely talented photographers, amazing photos to have forever.

pher was a must. Not only was I impressed w/ the work on One Tree Studio's site, but I was floored by Matt's willingness to deal with our last minute planning and plan changing. :) Matt was flexible, genuinely cared about our event and worked hard to get great shots the ENTIRE time. I would refer him in a heartbeat!!!

y were diligent, helpful, and professional throughout the entire process and even more fabulous post wedding fulfilling our last minute requests in a very timely manner. Every time I watch our video I laugh, smile and cry and always think to myself, "Oh wow, I'm so glad they caught that!" My husband and I are so very happy to have made the choice to go with 71 Studios for the most important day of our lives. We will be forever grateful.

ut of this crazy thinking! After watching One Tree Hill's videos I knew I was wrong. This is the one memory piece that indescribably captures the events, details and emotions of the day. There is SO much going on and while pictures are great, they don't capture things like videos do. My husband and I have been watching ours thinking... How did we almost not do this? And why didn't we sign-up for all the extras? My only regret is not getting a bigger package with more hours and more footage, and also requesting the documentary edit. Go big or go home. Michael and his associate did a fabulous job... The video captured exactly what we wanted it to, which is the emotions, excitement and FUN of the day. He works with you on what is most important to you and your family to make sure he has a clear understanding of what you expect and your style. I can't recommend One Tree Hill's videography services enough... you won't regret it!

nd every photo was amazing. We got married January 9, 2016, and the high that day was at midnight, with the temperature falling throughout the day. Despite that, he got us outside for my favorite photos from the whole day. Matt was calm & funny, patient & warm. As a bride with anxiety, he was everything I could have wanted in a photographer and enabled me to relax. He also captured some very funny moments from the day (my favorite kind of thing), and I couldn't be happier. The turnaround was quicker than expected, and I am so grateful that we had the opportunity to work with him. I hope we get the opportunity to work with him again in the future for family photos as we grow our family!

I. I believe this helped him tell an amazing story of us. He is extremely detailed and has an eye for amazing shots. I'm so happy that we made a choice to have a wedding video but even more thrilled that John filmed it.

e Studios. We didn't realize how much it would mean to get to see those moments between guests, parents, grandparents that we missed while running around all day. And it's special to see what I did get to see that day from a different perspective. They have a special touch for editing - the highlight film they create is second to none. Even though videos are wrapped up into minutes, the way the images, the music and the priceless words people say are all put together with such attention to detail somehow captures the entire story of your wedding and makes you feel like you've witnessed every detail. Plus, it felt like we were hanging out with old friends all day with Michael and Joe. They were fun and creative, made us feel so comfortable, and we barely noticed they were following us around with cameras. We couldn't recommend One Tree Studios more highly!

ul moments - it absolutely shows in his work! We are so pleased with the quality of our wedding photos that we have to cherish forever. You really can't put a price on the quality of capturing such an important and beautiful day. I recommend him to everyone I know who needs a wedding photographer!

s away- it was beautiful. From that point forward, working with Matt exceeded all of our expectations. Matt did an engagement shoot with us to get a feel for our style, and it was so helpful to work with him in this capacity before our wedding. He did our engagement photos on a freezing cold day, but still made the photo shoot fun, enjoyable, and our pictures turned out beautiful! Then came our wedding day, and he could not have been easier to work with. He made sure that he got all of the pictures we wanted, and he captured some truly amazing moments. We will cherish his pictures forever, and I would highly recommend his company to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. You will not find a more professional, capable, artistic photographer!

h, within our budget and the photos were amazing. He was also extremely fast in editing the photos and getting them to us. Overall, I wouldn't change a thing.

, he fit right in at the wedding. I had a few people comment on how they never even saw the photographer! Highly recommended.

termine what photo package was appropriate for the size and style of photography we were looking for, but he offered suggestions on timing and locations for specific photos. And when one of our planned “locations” didn’t work out, Matt had a great backup spot ready to go. Throughout the wedding, he really put us at ease, and most important…we have a beautiful collection of photographs to remember our day!

standard pretty wedding pictures, they were a beautiful editorial on someone's life and story. We wanted our photos to tell our story and they exceeded all hope for that! My husband has three children and my relationship with them and the dynamics of our new family has been a big part of our relationship. Matt captured that so beautifully in a way I couldn't have even imagined. They also did a beautiful job of capturing the spirit of our family and friends. A large portion of the photos are of us laughing throughout the day which describes us all perfectly. Our wedding day was not one of stress or worrying about details, it was a day of joy, love, laughter and fun. Matt and Peter truly embraced that, had fun with it and the results were spectacular!

Matt before our wedding, and he was so receptive to our ideas! We wanted to do a camping theme, and as soon as we mentioned that, Matt immediately knew exactly where he wanted to shoot and described his vision for the photos which completely aligned with ours. The engagement photos were stunning and unique. He and Peter photographed our wedding and they were the most professional, seamless, organized, efficient, harmonious team that we could have asked for. They were completely unruffled by the wedding chaos and made everyone feel at ease. The photos are so lovely that it is impossible to chose a favorite. They captured every sweet moment, even the small ones, in the most interesting way. They allowed everyone's personalities to show through rather than making the photos look overly posed. They are masters of using unique angles, beautiful light, and impeccable timing to get truly gorgeous photos. They have been a pleasure to work with throughout this process. We couldn't have asked for more!

h Matt and discussed the idea of having him travel with us to our destination wedding and he was excited to be apart of our special day in the Bahamas! Although Matt was a bit more expensive than some others, we quickly realized after seeing our engagement photos that he was worth his wait in gold! Thanks to Matt and One Tree we have a collection of amazing photos that captured the emotion of our wedding perfectly! Thanks again, we truly appreciated your work and we enjoyed having you on our adventure!

nts and truly experience all the moments we missed or didn't remember. One Tree Studios was well worth it. Our pictures are unbelievable! They truly capture who we are and found unique and beautiful ways to bring out our personality in the photos. The quality of their photos and service is unmatched. They completely stayed out of the way while still capturing everything. They were great people to work with, fun to be around, and really added to our day. You can tell they really love what they do, and it shows in the effort they put into each moment. I'm so glad we picked One Tree Studios, and we can't wait to see our video!

lities, and also just made us look good (which is really what we all want)! He is also just a very nice person, someone you'd want to be friends with. We highly recommend Peter!

very moment and things that we didn't remember. I was thrilled when we watched the film for the first time and couldn't be any happier with One Tree Weddings! Worth every penny! My only regret is that we did not use them to do our wedding photos as well.

ho is from Kansas City) and we are truly grateful that he was able to make the trip to the eastern shore of VA! Michael is incredibly laid back, hilarious, and easy to work with; while filming we didn't even realize he was there! Because of this, he was able to capture subtle aspects of the wedding that could otherwise go unnoticed (views and shots of the wedding and venue, body language, and audio). All of these were combined into a master piece which we are now able to share with friends and family. We could not be more pleased with the way that it turned out. He is amazingly talented and we would recommend Michael and One Tree Studios to anyone who who would like to be able to re-live their special day!

reviews, and photo samples. It was really important to me for my pictures to have an artistic, photojournalistic flair, which is in short supply in the Kansas City area without breaking the bank. My searching came to a stop when I found One Tree Studios, and I am so happy with my choice. Matt was great to work with from the beginning. Working with someone strictly over the phone and e-mail is never easy, but out of all my vendors, he was the most seemless to communicate with and the quickest in responding to me. He sent me several complete weddings as samples, which was very helpful in making my decision as I could see the day from beginning to end. Their packages include 2 photographers for the whole day and unlimited time/photos, which important to me and I feel so worth the investment. I had several important shots from different angles, which I would strongly recommend to any bride. Ultimately, Matt and Peter were exactly what I needed. They were up for anything I requested, but didn't need direction to do their jobs and delivery beautiful, creative photos. I chose the option that includes a photo album, and cannot wait for that to be finished. They are definitely not cheap, and were one of my biggest wedding investments, but also the only one with a tangible product that I will cherish in the years to come.

Matt worked with us to find things that we were comfortable doing. It was also raining/freezing that day, but Matt was a trooper! For one photo, we jumped in a puddle and Matt was laying on the wet ground. He was soaked by the end of the shoot! Our wedding photos also turned out great. We started at 10:30 am and didn't end until 11:30 pm, but Matt was there the whole time. He had an assistant with him as well - Stephanie - and she was amazing. I was initially worried about her being on her own (Matt was with me, the bride, getting ready that morning while Stephanie went to my husband's place) but her pictures were fantastic. Some of them are my favorite ones! I think Matt works with quality people, so I wouldn't worry about anyone you work with, as long as they're with OneTree! I don't even remember seeing Matt at the wedding, but he was there. He did a great job of blending in. During our photo process there was some confusion regarding the pricing and what it included. One Tree has since updated their packages to be more clear on what is included, which I think shows they really listen to their customers and want to provide the best all-around service. I would definitely recommend Matt & the folks at One Tree!!

they were incredibly professional and captured every detail. The pictures are fantastic and are exactly what we were looking for - creative and high quality. They tell our wedding story perfectly!

with your photographer by your side so it is not only the quality of their photos that matters but also their personality. I have experienced way too many photographers while in or at weddings that were a pain to work with. Matt is the opposite. He is a joy. He also stays out of the way just enough so that he is never ruining a moment. And to say I am happy with his photos would be an understatement. They are unique and yet classic. (He got up into a tree to take one of them! He is truly down for anything!) Thank you Matt!

et our experience!

er because of the stress of the day. So glad I have a video to watch to always remind me of such a wonderful day. The whole family loved the video!

nd result was just AMAZING! What they captured really told the story of the day. Matt and Michael were really comfortable and easy to work with... super accommodating, and their main focus was to be in the background and still get all of the images to create lasting memories for the Bride and Groom as well as friends and family. One of the things that we felt was different about them is that they really want to capture what is important to YOU on your special day. They don't insist you fit into their mold. We have heard a lot of horror stories about wedding photography gone bad but there was not one thing we had to complain about. I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience. We would highly recommend One Tree Studio for anyone looking for fantastic photography and videography! Cathy Lakebrink

st unposed, natural moments.

celess. If you are into beautiful modern images that make the folks looking at your pictures feel like they were there, this is your bet. Not to mention, these guys are about as nice as they come. Well worth every penny. I have a hard time believing those images are us. They are gorgeous!

ptured. They were professional, dedicated and took beautiful photos.

ichael Ransdell went above and beyond and let me tell you, we are hard people to impress at times! They met with us several times to make sure the pictures and video were exactly wanted and we couldn't be happier. I have said it and would say it over and over again, this was the best spent money on the wedding and is an absolute must! The day goes by so quickly and it's hard to remember and cherish all the details without the help of these two fellas. Every time I look at the pictures and watch the video I feel like I am right back to the day. Words could never express to these two and their teams just how awesome and timeless the photos and video are. Thank you!- Maxx and Lauren

our engagement shoot. He had taken the time to scout locations prior to the shoot, which produced amazing results. His eye is so amazing that he see when a good picture will happen, even causing us to pull over on the side of the highway to capture the last of the sunlight; hands down one of my favorite pictures of the day. Matt was amazing on the wedding day; he spent time with my girls and I, as well as time with the boys getting ready. The pictures are so fantastic, I've actually teared up looking back through them. Pick this photographer...trust me, you will NOT regret it.

pace and was able to utilize all of Kansas City's beautiful surroundings!! Absolutely hands down photographer! We are so happy we chose One Tree Studios!

the must haves for the wedding, we were a bit on the fence for a videographer because of the cost. It was worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY. The video, has made me cry nearly every time of the 100 times I've watched it. :) We got absolute rave reviews from our friends and family. It was a priceless piece of the wedding we will cherish forever. Joe was great to work with on the day of the wedding and was so laid back and thoughtful. It was comfortable to have them there, with their cameras. They fit in and had fun with us throughout the day. If you are on the fence on deciding for your wedding day, HIRE A VIDEOGRAPHER. And if you're on the fence on who to hire, HIRE ONE TREE!!

om start to finish. He worked within our price range to provide a tiered level of service. He captured all of our special moments on our wedding day. He took amazing candid photos and he staged perfect group photos. He was very quick with getting us the images after our wedding. I would recommend Matt Frye with One Tree Studio for ANY occasion.

r able to make me cry for two complete strangers like One Tree Studios could! I knew that I wanted more than just a video of how our important day went. I wanted a story; a film that we could watch on our 50th wedding anniversary and still get chills. We received that and so much more! My husband and I were lucky enough to already have a relationship with the videographers and photographers at One Tree Studios, but even if you have never met them they are so genuine and truly care about YOU! They make sure to send you a questionnaire so that they understand what all the truly important moments will be. They get to know you as separate individuals and as a couple. They take that information and create a film that reflects both personalities and all the special moments from your wedding day! I would highly recommend One Tree Studios to any couple!
