Working with Dan Deschenes of Medici Studios was absolutely wonderful from the get-go!! He was always thoughtful, thorough, and positive in our communications, from the moment we began contacting him with interest for our Engagement/Love Story video through to our wedding nearly a year later. He was originally recommended to us by our photographer, Jenny GG, and boy are we SO thankful for that recommendation! Our photographer, videographer, AND our officiant had all worked together numerous times before, and so it was a smooth-sailing and fun experience to have the “dream team” back together again for our wedding. :) With the help of his brother Michael, Dan filmed the entirety of our wedding in a smooth and unobtrusive way. There was nothing clunky or awkward having them there, which I’ve heard can be a concern when having both photography and videography in a not-overly-huge wedding venue; but honestly, they did such a great job of blending in with everyone that we hardly noticed them there; we could concentrate on each other and our family and friends, and just enjoy the experience of our wedding day in full. When the time did come to film something specific, Dan’s manner was so relaxed and fun that we always felt immediately at ease. There was a lot of laughter and happiness that day :) He also gave us the raw footage of our entire wedding, which my husband & I plan to watch together many years down the road when we want to take a trip down memory lane.

All of Dan’s videos show a common theme of integrity and attention to detail; he works tirelessly to make your film a true work of art! But the thing that sticks out to me most is his ability to cut through to the truth of each couple he films, from the intimate moments captured between the couple, to the touching expressions on family members’ faces that would otherwise have been missed, to the perfectly spot-on music he carefully selects during the editing process (always with the couple’s input!). As such, every film of his is as different and as unique as the couple it was made for. Watch any of his films and you will feel it, guaranteed. We love to watch all the new videos he has been coming out with since our wedding, too, especially with his fancy new quad-copter that catches the most incredible aerial shots!

We still watch our wedding video periodically, and it continues to bring smiles to our faces and tears to our eyes. Our wedding video is one of our most treasured belongings and one of the purest forms of memory for the beginning of our married life together, and we can’t thank Medici Studios enough for that gift.
