The Studio Weddings

o any questions via email or text that I had. Second: I met David for two minutes the day of the wedding and he and his team were so focused on what needed to be done during the whole day that I hardly knew they were there until I saw the proof in the beautifully done video of the venue, the preparation of the bridal party, the ceremony, the decor and the reception. Three: I received the videos (a highlight reel as well as a full video) on a Monday and by Thursday I had watched it seven times. No lie! Four: These videos are so precious to me. I had such a great day at the wedding and wished I could relive the day - and now I can! Thank you so much David, I truly appreciate your beautiful work and would highly recommend you to anyone wanting a video for any occasion or event.

way to capture details normally ignored... I even had a rainbow in my video! He listened to all my notes of specifics but his way of capturing is so timeless, romantic, and just tugs at our heart and our guests heartstrings. I have nothing negative to say and I highly recommend to all brides and Grooms seeking a Cinematographer!! He definitely knows how to make a great movie... and is well skilled and worth every penny!! Thank you David for making this dream come true and bringing us memories to repeat forever!

pher to get the best shots. The products David provided I will treasure forever! A 4 min highlight video of the wedding and a 48 min video of our whole ceremony and highlighting the reception. I would recommend David Salebe Films to anyone!!

us as well! I am so happy we chose to work with David and will have the video of the wedding for years to come!

ighly recommend!!

g day. We were absolutely blown away by his superior quality, speedy communication, and offerings. By far, David provided the most offerings (8+ hours of coverage, full-length wedding film, highlights reel, Instagram cut video) for such an affordable price. The quality of the footage and cuts would merit a cost 2x of what he charged! David was so kind and friendly, seamlessly working with our photographers in such an organized and professional manner. Blending into the background, you barely noticed that David was filming...but he captured such candid moments on our wedding day. Truly, we are so fortunate to have worked with David. If you are doing a wedding in the DC area, you MUST work with David. 11/10 would recommend.

posing throughout the day, which was nice! David was easy to work with.

dvice and also being flexible with changes, especially due to covid. Would highly recommend to any bride and groom!

done, David.

r a year before our wedding because we wanted to make sure he was available on our date. Thankfully he was because his work speaks for itself; it's impeccable — from his storytelling, attention to detail, and cinematic feel. He definitely went out of his way to make sure we were satisfied with his final products. We can't wait to watch our wedding videos again for our one year anniversary and relive every moment from our special day. If you are looking for a highly skilled videographer who will make your wedding day look like a movie, David is the right person for the job. Take a look at his portfolio and you will not be disappointed!

which we appreciated!

y accommodating to every change in our Corona wedding plans, since the day ended up involving a lot of moving pieces and shuffling around. David and his assistant were absolutely perfect! I will cherish our video forever!

He did a fantastic job, and I couldn't have asked for any better!! I still can't believe how well it was done!! I definitely recommend David Salebe Films! Thank you so much David!!

rfectly. We hired him pretty far in advance and he was great to work with from start to finish. He is very professional and was accommodating with our requests. We wanted to have a short highlight film to share with others and a longer one for just us and he was able to do that for us. I have watched our video back a dozen times now and am so grateful we hired David. It is definitely worth the investment! I highly recommend hiring David! He is the best!

of. He also worked wonderfully with my photographer. It's very important that your photographer and videographer can work together for all those important moments! He had great packages that worked for different budgets, so while we did add him at the last minute, the end result is worth it! He also has drone capability which can really add to a video. Sound quality was excellent. Thank you David for capturing our special day. We will definitely recommend you to our friends!

ut ever getting in the way. The feature film and highlights he produced had our parents crying all over again- so I count that as a win!

remony...I'm not super fancy and I didn't have the biggest budget...but I'm telling you, I'm so glad I hired David!! How could I have ever known how much we needed what David created for us!! There is so much that happens on your wedding day that you don't get to see - the groom getting ready, your family gathering, the groomsmen picking on your groom, things happening behind the scenes, things happening right in front of you that you're too busy to see....and of course, your groom doesn't get to see you doing any of those things either... There is so much emotion that isn't captured in pictures...I had two photographers who were EXCELLENT, truly AMAZING photographers, but there were still moments that David was able to capture that I didn't have in photos and having the video helps capture the emotion and a period of time, not just the snapshot. What he made for us is a cinematic marvel - I won't be able to do it justice in this review, but it's absolutely beautiful. The moments he captured, the story he tells through the way he edited pieces together, the close up shots I had no idea he was taking, the music he selected to help tell the story...I'm in awe of how beautiful everything looks. It's like Hollywood perfection that makes me bawl like a baby every time I watch it. So, if you're like me, you're on a budget and you think, "do I really need this?" YES! You don't know how much you really do!! Everyone tells you that your wedding will fly by...you will try and pause and take in the moments, but it's just a few hours and then it's over. Invest in your marriage and get the video, watch it on each anniversary, and use it to fall deeper in love every year. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ What I love about David: He did a fabulous job and worked under the radar. I was fearful that I was going to have to "recreate" shots for him and that it would take away from my day...he captured everything like a fly on the wall. Also, he was quite a trooper when I asked for edits (a few times) and he worked very quickly to change out a music selection or to add in more shots of our family portrait session. He was calm, kind, professional, and really did a fabulous job!! What I love about my video: ~35 min long, it begins with drone footage of our venue playing to a beautiful song that sets the mood. It moves to the two of us getting ready and captures the emotion of our nervous anticipation and excitement with beautifully edited pan and close up shots. He captures so much emotion in our first look. We look stiff in our photos being too careful trying not to mess up our outfits or my makeup, but he was able to capture our flirtation and reverence for one another. It includes my entire ceremony with my ceremony musician, the officiant and the groom all mic'd, so audio is captured well. We have all the toasts, cake cutting, first and parents dances - which were captured in true cinematic style, swirling around us to convey an emotional plateau at just the right moments (like catching me shed a tear dancing w/ my dad)- a super cool edit of our guests dancing at the reception & really great footage of our sparkler exit. Our Highlight video is about 6 min and contains simply the best elements of the above.

both love that it has clips of speeches from our parents. David was responsive and professional during the booking process. He was clear with what services he offered and honest about how long things take. On the actual wedding day, David was a joy to work with! He was self sufficient. During the getting ready process, I noticed he put different detail shots together on his own to ensure he got the perfect shot. He was assertive without being invasive. He did such a beautiful job of capturing organic moments and my husband and I really appreciate that. The video itself is amazing! David is great at putting the day together and making the story make sense. We love that we have this video to look back it for years :) When he sent us the first video we wanted to add a clip to the highlights reel and change the song. David did this with pleasure and it really made a difference for us! David is the perfect addition to any wedding day!

ning, but David was a delight to work with. He is super friendly and made it an easy process. Highly recommend if you are looking for a wedding videographer! :)

mportant to us just because we wanted to have a person who understood the important moments in the ceremony and reception) David is your guy. Recommend 100%!

ll the end. I would recommend him to anyone that asks. The time and care he took to make sure he got everything on film was amazing!

ver forget. David was also very receptive to our feedback on the highlight and feature wedding videos to help create shorter clips of the day that we could keep and watch more frequently than the entire day-long footage. We highly recommend him for your future wedding or other event!

eren't asked of music choices, and we just didn't like it. I am sure he does good jobs with other people, but I do regret spending that much money for the video.

ithout smiling (and crying, and laughing...). He is fantastic to work with, was very flexible with our busy schedules, and was very responsive to every question and request we had. Truly one of the easiest and best decisions we made for our wedding.

vid was super easy to work with, met our budget, and produced the best part of our wedding: the video that we'll be able to replay from years to come. Well worth the investment, and highly recommend David to capture your once in a lifetime day. Well worth the extra splurge. :)

r wedding! So We scrambled to find someone within our budget and available at such a short notice. David really worked with us, when we were conversing pricing and our budget, which we were super grateful for. He was highly professional and caught all the great moments. He literally was so amazing., the video was beautiful, I cried all over again and was able to send it to our family in Oklahoma to see our big day. Thank you David!

f all the important events and scenery. Our videos were really amazing and we cannot stop watching them!

sional, kind-hearted professionals I’ve worked with and really caters to what you ask for. He is very caring and responsive whenever you have a question prior to your wedding and after. His quality of work and professionalism is very rare in the wedding industry and I would HIGHLY recommend him. He not only made my wedding even more special than it was, but also captured the best moments for me to forever re-live each and every second of my wedding afterwards. He is by far the best videographer in the area, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way! Thank you David and team for your high quality and outstanding professionalism. You guys are indeed the very best!!!

I don’t think I’ve stopped happy crying! David’s talent is something so unique, and his ability to capture every emotion on film is unparalleled. We are beyond pleased with our videos, and would have no problem recommending David to anyone will full confidence. We adore our treasures of our most special day that he created for us!

mend him because our wedding was a very important and special day of our lives and we wanted to make sure that every single moment was captured. He was very patient throughout the entire editing process and the video came out awesome!!!! He captured moments that we did not even know they were there for and we are forever grateful. Now, we looked back on our wedding video and can't contain our tears of joy as they told our story in such an amazing way. I could not ask for more We really thank David for making our wedding moments last forever through our wedding video.

!!

also tell that he is not only doing this for the money but for the love of videography. Our advise on a potential future clients of David is to be open to him on your story. He truly wants to feel the love of the 2 person and he will make it reflect on your videos. Highly recommended!

and helpful and really made the day go by so smoothly. If you want a videographer that is amazing, go with David!

definitely work with him again.

ke, uncoordinated, and overall awkward individuals and transformed our story into a stunning video. We loved the way he was able to truly capture us and our quirks and sense of humor. He is incredibly talented and genuine pleasure to work with - you will not be disappointed in hiring him.

ll the end. I would recommend him to anyone that asks. The time and care he took to make sure he got everything on film was amazing!

nd good ideas. David is like a ninja. He comes and goes silently and, if you weren't paying attention, you would never know he was there. Aside from the big moments, there were times when I was joking around with my groomsmen and, from the corner of my eye, I could see David there getting all of it. It's candid moments like these that, at the time aren't necessarily very memorable, but definitely make a finished video shine. Whenever I looked around and thought "I wonder what this would look like from a third person view", David was there capturing it. During the times David makes his presence known, he offers many creative ideas. During cocktail hour, the bridesmaids and groomsmen took turns taking photos. While the bridesmaids were getting their photos taken, David did not stand idly by. After he captured some footage of them, he walked over and asked us to do several actions while he would walk around us capturing every moment. When it was the groomsmen's turn to take photos, I could see that he was doing the same for the bridesmaids, but with different actions. David is very dedicated to doing an excellent job. We were running behind schedule by almost an hour at the reception, yet David stayed the extra time to make sure that he captured all the big moments. Had he left at the moment the contract said he could leave, he would have missed the parent/child dance and cake cutting. However, he insisted on being there to capture it all. David is very professional and easy to communicate with. He personally worked with us to come to a price and plan that we all could be satisfied with. If you're still unsure of which videographer you want, let your hesitation stop here. You've found the right one.

d I am so glad I made the decision to book him. My husband (fiance at the time) didn't understand the reason for a videographer and a photographer. He didn't want it. I booked it anyway and told him later!! He wasn't happy. But when we received the final result he was over the moon happy. He said I am so glad you got the videographer. Pictures are beautiful but it doesn't tell the story that the video does. David and his assistant (I forgot his name), were so professional. They fit right in with everyone. They caught the best moments. Especially the moments that weren't supposed to be caught!!! I LOVE of video(s). I can't say enough about this experience. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

ur wedding video is so beautiful, and I cannot thank David enough for capturing such a special day for us!

e sparkler sendoff and you barely even know he's there! We received our video about 3 months later and it is so surreal to relive our wedding -- literally could not have asked for anyone better or easier to work with. The quality/content of our video is out of this world. Future brides -- look no further, you have found one of the best in the DC area and will not be disappointed!
