Daniel & Elisha at Better Tie were the perfect fit for our wedding photo/videography! Their creative eye definitely shows in all of their work, and the quality is above average! Their silly personalities make the shoots even better, but they are very serious about their work ethic when the time comes! They know what they're doing, are very educated in it, and it shows! I would recommend Better Tie Productions to anyone looking for a good time with the photographers and someone who wants the best quality and services! We're SO glad we chose them! :)

Daniel did a great job at our wedding and reception. Very professional and so nice. Could not ask for more. Thank you so much!

So far I am extremely happy with Better Tie Productions. The owner (Daniel Yopp) deals directly with all clients and is very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I loved the personalized interview that was part of our videos even though he made both my husband and I cry during that part :) It was in a good way. My husband specifically commented that Daniel was very professional and he was very impressed. Better Tie is expensive but if our video turns out like I think it will, it will be worth every penny. The only reason I gave a 4.5 out of 5 for quality of service is because it is on a timed basis (i.e. 6 hrs or 9 hrs, or whatever plan you choose) and it will be nearly 3 months after the wedding before we get our video. Still, if I had to shop for a videographer again, I'd choose Better Tie Productions every time!

Daniel was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was extremely flexible with my husband and I. Neither of us really enjoy our picture being taken and he made the event "pain free" for us. He was very flexible in reducing the number of posed shots (at our request) and took a lot of candid photographs. After looking at the finished product, I couldn't be happier at the results. Admittingly, I am not a very photogenic person...and this is one of the first times I have been pleased with a picture that has been taken. He did such an incredible job! He and his staff were wonderful to work with...professional, easy going, on time, great value. I really couldn't have asked for a better photographer.

In preparation for our wedding reception my husband and I perused many wedding magazines- what stood out to us was that the most interesting and warm looking receptions came alive by the addtion of professional lighting. Our wedding planner recommended Better Tie Productions in Greenville, South Carolina. It was one of the best recommendations we could of received during our wedding planning. Daniel Yopp made our reception memorable to all that attended with uplighting, wall monogram, highlighting our cake and dance floor. The reception venue said they had never seen the room look better!. Thank you Better Tie Productions... you have our highest praises!

Daniel is one of the best decisions you could make to do the videography for your wedding. He felt like a member of the family by the end of the process. Daniel has a great eye and really put together a product that we are really really happy with. His team was professional and got all the shots that really make us able to live our day time and time again. You can tell he puts in a great amount of effort into the editing process. His work really made a big difference in our final product. I felt making decisions on vendors was very difficult. However this is one you do not have to worry about. Take it from me, pick Daniel!

At the beginning of our wedding planning process, I had been so close to almost booking another videographer that we thought always produced excellent videos. This was a company out of state that was going to be extremely expensive for us....but I knew I wanted a quality video. After some more thinking though, I decided that it wasn't worth it to me to spend that much money, and I started to research local companies....that's when I found Daniel Yopp and Better Tie Productions. Better Tie's prices were under 1/2 the cost of our original videographer, and we really liked their samples...but thought we might be sacrificing a little bit of quality since the price was so much less. We were SO wrong! EVERYTHING about Better Tie was done with excellence. Not only did we LOVE working with Daniel and getting to know him, but our video exceeeded our expectations in every way...and we believe that the quality was WAY better than what we would have gotten with the first videographer that we would have paid twice as much for. So many people at our wedding were shocked that we had a video crew of 3 people because no one even noticed them....which is a great thing! They were able to capture the entire wedding day with excellence and creativity without being in the way of the flow of events. The Better Tie crew was professional, super nice, and went above & beyond to make sure we were happy.I am really picky about videos, so I was pretty nervous at the thought of what our video would end up being like. I have absolutely zero complaints though...and I have looked at videographers all over SC, and I'm pretty sure that Better Tie is the top of the line! Daniel was always quick to respond to us and made sure to tailor our video to our preferences and desired style....and we could NOT be happier! His team worked very well with our photographer as well which is really important. I would and will recommend Better Tie to anyone! The crew is so kind, professional, and our wedding video was AMAZING!

I enjoyed working with Better Tie. They were relatable, professional, and always easy to work with. I was beyond happy with the finish product. They will always be my number one recomendation for photography.
GUEST




Daniel Yopp and his crew with Better Tie Productions bent over backwards to accomodate both myself and new husband as well as my parents who were paying for everything. They have been nothing but a joy and an honor to work with; Daniel especially has a true gift for artistic, candid, and unique photography, not to mention his crews' abilities. I will never work with any other photographer again so long as Daniel Yopp and company are in the business---I'm a customer for life and so is my husband.
GUEST




Daniel with Better Tie Video was amazing to work with! I found out about them through the Wedding Festival in Greenville at the Carolina First Center. I was provided with samples of their work and after sobbing over a wedding where I had know idea who the bride or groom was I knew they were the videographers for me. Not only were they very laid back like my other vendors (which makes for very plesant times) but they were also fun and they produced an amazing video which my husband and I will cherish for ever!! I highly recommend Daniel with Better Tie Video.
GUEST




Great "crew"!! Daniel and the other photographers were attentive and easy to work with. They made sure you got the shots that you wanted, and they captured it all, classic to comtemporary.
GUEST




We decided late into wedding planning that we wanted to hire a videographer. I contacted Daniel at Better Tie Productions after seeing some of his sample videos, and crossed my fingers that he had our date open. Our date was actually his only open date, so we hired him and never looked back. He was absolutely wonderful to work with. He made sure he knew exactly what we wanted, and was super flexible when the timing on the actual wedding day was a little off. He was very professional during the ceremony and reception, I hardly even noticed he was there (that's a good thing!) It was hard waiting for the actual trailer and DVD, but it was well worth it! The trailer was breathtaking, and I have watched it over, and over again! My husband and I sat down to watch the whole DVD a few nights ago, and we were speechless afterwards. It was so neat to be able to relive our special day. Many special moments were missed by us because we were so busy, but Daniel captured everything and we were able to watch it as if nothing was missed. The quality of the video is so amazing and I could definitely tell there were hours and hours of hard work put into it. I am so thankful that we used Better Tie, and I would recommend them to any bride and groom who wants to work with a great, talented professional and wants a keepsake video of their wedding day.

Awesome Awesome Awesome!!! There are no other words!!!Totally worth the money!!!!!

If there were 10's I'd go higher! Daniel and his "crew" are by far the BEST kept secret in Greenville. They are truly artists and have an eye for perfection. They are there but you would never know it. We had them both for photography and video and we cannot wait to see the pictures. If my daughters bridal portraits are any indication of perfection then we will be blown away with the video and wedding pictures. My daughter found Daniel at a summer bridal show where the lights went out. From that moment on she cdonnected and no one else came close. I know there is a reason for everything in life....and we are so glad we found Better Tie Productions!
GUEST




Better Tie did the lighting for my reception venue as well as videography. They were very professional but also a lot of fun to work with and really put us at ease. The quality of their work is way beyond anything else I've seen in the industry and I would recommend them to anyone who's looking to enhance the look of their reception decor as well as anyone wanting to document their big day in something more than photos. I also looove their photography style, it's so modern and edgy yet they manage to keep it very romantic.
GUEST




I have no complaints at all eveything was perfect!!!! There is one thing that I would recommend and my husband is the one that said something. The bridal party coming into the reception it was not on there. That is not a complaint it is just a suggestion. I was more than pleased with my video!!! Great job!!!!!!

Better Tie Productions is the most professional group of people my Wife and I have had the pleasure of working with. The Quality of their work and the results thereafter were equal to their professionalism. We have already referred their services to others. They helped make our Marriage Ceremony an event to remember. Our Wedding photos rival those of friends and family who paid double, triple and even four times our cost. The Value, Quality and Professional Approach of Daniel Yopp and his Associates far exceed the cost. We will always use Better Tie Productions for "Our Special Events".
Better Tie Productions add a wonderful touch to your wedding with their special effects lighting. Great to work with!
Fantastic Photos, fresh perspectives, and our clients enjoy working with them! Always sure to produce photos and memories that will last a lifetime!
Daniel and the entire staff at Better Tie Productions are always a pleasure to work with. They arrive early, work efficiently and devote their complete attention to the client. Their theatrical lighting division is excellent. It is always amazing to see the dramatic differences Better Tie Lighting can make with respect to the ambiance of a room. Their lighting designs have transformed even the most plain and boring of hotel meeting rooms into an eye-popping fairytale setting, with tastefulness and elegance, of course.
Daniel, Elisha & Sarah have brought a new way of looking at wedding video and photos. Daniel with his background in theater, translates that to his photos and videos. They take the time to bring something extra special to each and every bride. If you want something different and that you will probably watch more then just once a year, they can create something amazing.
We had the privilege of working with Daniel from Better Tie on a lighting design for a wedding reception at Zen. His patience and creativity were topped by an extra dollop of professionalism. The team from Better Tie gave the room a warm glow and fulfilled the vision in my head. We can't wait to work with them again!
We used Daniel for lighting at a recent wedding. He did a phenomenal job. He is the best to work with and really knows his stuff. I would highly recommend to anyone.

I love having the opportunity to both capture a wedding and become a part of creating a memory that the bride and groom will have for the rest of their lives.

Before every photo shoot we meet with you to learn your likes and dislikes, hobbies and who you are as an individual as well as a couple, this allows us to then go out and find unique landscapes that will reveal your personality.
