Gilded Heart Films - Bay City, Michigan

We had originally decided to not hire a videographer for our wedding, and decided 6 months before that we would like one. We found Adrian in a Facebook group and couldn't be happier with our video! Adrian was so sweet day of and really captured anything we could hope for. He was very thorough with learning about us as a couple and our day. He was easy to communicate with and answered questions promptly. We received our video and it's so beautiful, I can't watch it without crying. I was skeptical about hiring a videographer, but am so happy we did. Adrian could charge WAY more for the product he delivers. You won't be disappointed.

Adrian was incredible to work with throughout our wedding and leading up to it. He was communicative, detail oriented, and produced an amazing keepsake highlight film that we will look back on for years to come. He is extremely talented and had a quicker turnaround time than we expected. Would highly recommend Adrian and Gilded Heart Films for any couple!!

Adrian was so amazing every step of the way! Communication was always quick and professional! My video turned out absolutely amazing and he also delivered it under the stated contract time!! My husband and I couldn’t be happier! Got every moment captured I wanted & I’m super happy I ended up getting a Videogropher for our big day!
He also arrived on time, got all my detail shots & me getting ready, then went to the venue and got a ton more shots. Just overall super happy and he was very very pleasant to work with!! 🙂

Adrian and his team were incredible to work with throughout the entire planning process and the day of. The ease of communication was fantastic- especially when wedding planning can be so stressful! But I cannot say enough how absolutely amazed we were with our final highlight video, it was everything we dreamed of and more. It captured every moment so perfectly, and the video continues to bring happy tears to our eyes months later. The videographer that we worked with day of was so fun, easy to talk to, captured literally EVERY moment, and had fun with us which we loved! Thank you for helping to capture our day into videos we can forever cherish!

It was great to work with Adrian and his staff!

Communication was great and I felt they went above and beyond my expectations. Our wedding video turned out beautifully, no later editing necessary!

The staff was timely, considerate, and friendly.

I highly recommend Gilded Heart Films!

Adrian exceeded me and my husbands expectations with our wedding video! He captured every special moment we could have asked for! He was very timely with getting our video back to us, and knew exactly where to be day of. We had a more laid back wedding and I let him know I trust his judgement of what to capture, and he did exactly what I imagined! I would recommend him to anyone else:)

From the very beginning of the booking process, Adrian was amazing. Anyone trying to plan a wedding, especially in post-panini times, is probably going to feel like we did. Totally overwhelmed by the sheer amount of moving parts required, the vendors you need to contact, the vendors you need to follow up with (while walking on eggshells, afraid of Bridezilla-ing a vendor you REALLY want away) after you sent in a form request on their site and its been like nine days and did they get it or did they not get it, are they just busy, why didn't they reply? Send another one? Email the address on the site? Keep waiting?!?!

Adrian got back to us super quickly. He set up a zoom call that went so smoothly and wasn't awkward at all. He explained the whole process to us, we even bonded about being unapologetic Cat People. We wanted to book him SO badly just based off his work on his site but after meeting him we definitely wanted him there for our day.

I'm genuinely so glad he was available and that it worked out. The way he worked with our photog team, if I hadn't known better, I would have guessed they were all seasoned vets at working together. That's something I didn't expect. They communicated the whole time, shared ideas on shots, pointed out what looked best from what angle, and collaborated together seamlessly.

I threw a wrench in the plans a little by being an anxious bride that didn't eat enough the morning of (tale as old as time) and sat in a corner vibrating like a nervous chihuahua when a big bulk of the shooting of getting ready and everything was meant to be happening. Adrian gave me space to vibrate back to earth and eat orange slices like a goblin in the corner and from the footage you can't even tell there was a gap in what was captured.

What was captured was magical. Pure magic. Not only did he get us the raw footage and the social media highlight super quickly, I was stunned at the sweetness dripping out of every single frame. Adrian has an amazing eye for what to film. Not only that, he is the chillest dude and even for someone typically as photo-shy as I am, I was actually super comfortable? I can't even remember seeing him or his associate during the reception. They slunk around like alley cats but got everything important that we wanted to see again. We even got the videos before any sneak peeks from the photogs and the screenshots from the videos were SO good, I used them for our Christmas cards. I've included them with this review.

Videography was so worth it. It captures something more than pictures. The moment my now-husband saw me for the first time, the way his neck started quivering. Our little glances and smiles at each other between big moments. Me wiping my tears as I dance with my brother, and the watery laugh that follows. Every moment is woven through with the spirit of the day.

The day goes by in a blur. You're full of adrenaline and when you wake up sore, like you slept in a cement mixer, it's hard to remember specific details. All you remember is vignettes, an overall feeling. The human mind is an imperfect vessel, really. The highlight video reminded me of a thousand tiny moments that made the day perfect that were lost in the rush of it all, that would remain lost, without Adrian to give it to us to keep forever. Our day would not have been the same without him.

Adrian is amazing! We booked him for our August 2023 wedding and he showed up early, was with us every step of the way and he was amazing to work with even after when putting the highlight together. My husband and I love our highlight and have teared up multiple times rewatching it. Thank you so much❤️
