Paper Bird Films

iful simplicity and elegance, and I knew we had to hire him. The teaser trailer was out one week after the wedding - we got back from our honeymoon and already had the trailer to look forward to for the entire video! Manuel got so many beautiful shots of the wedding, the dancing, and everything in between. He even was willing to make a couple of small edits to the wedding film to make it into absolute perfection. We are so excited to have such a wonderful memento for the rest of our lives!

, were seamless, and beautiful. That along with his several reasonable pricing options had me sold. Since hiring him, he did not disappoint. Manuel was super thorough-- he called me before to make sure to get all the details he should know and to make sure to be able to include exactly what I wanted in our wedding video. The day of, he really showed his expertise. He was kind and friendly and professional, but he was also able to get all his shots while remaining in the background and not interrupting any sentimental moments or the natural flow of the day. In fact, many of the wedding guests didn't even realize I had a videographer because he was so good at fading into the background when appropriate. At the same time, he knew the shots he needed to get and would throw out some quick, easy, useful instructions every now and again. Within a week of our wedding, Manuel got back to me with the uncut version of our ceremony. That's a super quick turnaround, and it's invaluable during this time in a pandemic, as not everyone who you would want to be able to see your ceremony is able to make it. This helped them feel like they were there! I was already so impressed at what I saw by the uncut ceremony video. The footage and quality was absolutely beautiful. It makes me so excited to see our final overview video! I know we will cherish it forever. For anyone who is looking for an awesome videographer, I would recommend Manuel.

p in my face with a camera.. I don't like to be photographed or recorded.. and I can be very shy .. So, the idea of having a videographer record every part of our wedding day was a little nervewrecking.. HOWEVER, I hardly noticed Manuel (in a good way!) he was everywhere and nowhere all at once. After seeing the final product, it's astounding to think about the planning and editing time he put into our project. There were cameras everywhere (that I never noticed or saw!) and he seemed to capture every beautiful moment of the day. Our friends and family LOVE our highlight reel and we couln't be happier with it - We've watched it AT LEAST a dozne times since receiving it last week. We had the misfortune of hosting our wedding in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.. which caused us to cut our guestlist down to bridal parties and immediate family members only. Manuel was astoundingly resilient and made us a very quick (and very well done) video of our ceremony from start to finish that we were able to share with all of our friends and family THREE DAYS after our wedding. He was professional and safe - keeping his mask on throughout the ENTIRE evening (even though it was nearly 100 degrees outside, even at night). Conclusion: Manuel is amazing and you should absolutly hire him immediately. You will not regret it and you'll be so happy with the memories he captures!

nt above and beyond to give us exactly what we wanted. To top it off, the pricing was also reasonable and Manuel was quick to respond to our emails throughout the planning process. We highly recommend Paper Bird!

months leading up the wedding he was responsive and professional with all our questions. He really listened to the things we wanted to see in our video and mixed it beautifully with his own creative vision. He and his team were so discreet during the wedding that we hardly noticed they were filming. Once we got our full-length video back, we were floored with how perfectly they captured our day. We got to see all the little moments we missed and re-live the big ones. Hiring Paper Bird Films as our videographer was by far the best investment we made while planning our wedding.

rices are reasonable compared to other videography companies I spoke with, and they were willing to travel from Austin to Fredericksburg for our special day. Manuel and his second shooter arrived to the ladies' "get ready" house right on time and got some wonderful detail shots without being intrusive. It POURED on our wedding day until right before I walked down the aisle, and I loved the rain detail shots they got. They were even able to fly the drone for beautiful footage of the Hill Country, which was very important to my now husband since he has a drone himself. We got the Gold Bird package, and received our highlight, ceremony, and speech videos within a month after our wedding! While I adore my priceless photos, our videos capture things that pictures simply cannot. Right after my husband and I watched our highlight video for the first time, he said "wow, that was definitely worth every penny." Now every anniversary I can hear my husband's 26 year old self say his vows to me, and vice versa. How cool is that?! Highly recommend a videographer, and Paper Bird Films exceeded our expectations!

Bird Films. We had an initial phone consultation and we loved his laid back and easy going approach - we booked him right away! On the day of the wedding him and his second shooter were super friendly and you barely remembered that they were filming you which is important on such a busy day. I highly recommend using them for your wedding so they can capture your special day on film!

barely knew they were there, but somehow they captured every important moment, and then some. I highly recommend them to everyone!

we never knew he was there, his attention to detail is stunning, and his work ethic is un matched. Truly an artist.
