Halaja Productions

We hired Halaja productions for our wedding in November 2011, after a thorough review of our options. We were absolutely satisfied with their product and with the level of service and professionalism they exhibited. I went to meet Paul and Nancy and told them how I wanted the wedding and engagement to be captured . They exceeded my expectations and the highlights turned out to be amazing.We received so many compliments from family and friends. We had left the country a week after the wedding. The next best option was email. Paul and Nancy are great with their responsiveness after my mass email exchange of my question after question. They communicated the entire time with us and answered each question. Whatever change I wanted in my highlights was done immediately and shared with me for any additional thoughts . At the engagement and the wedding Paul and Nancy were as discreet as they could and it never felt that they got in the way throughout the entire day and evening . Paul and Nancy worked great with our photographers in which they both were able to capture each scene in their own creative way . Halaja Productions is amazing and the service and quality of product definitely puts their work over the top.

Paul and Nancy Halaja are really great at what they do. I hardly noticed them at all at the reception, and certainly did not notice them during the ceremony! I have not received my final product yet, but they send a highlights clip to make sure that you are okay with how they are doing and I love it! I watch it almost everyday. They know how to capture the moment and the emotion, and can put it all to just about any music you want pretty seamlessly. I looked at other video companies that were much more limited on what music you could use for your own wedding video! I would highly recommend these guys to anyone wanting to capture and remember every important moment of your wedding! Trust me, it goes by so fast, you will feel like you weren't even there! And I cannot wait to treasure this video forever!

Thank you so very much Nancy and Paul for capturing our day on video!!! Halaja Productions deserves nothing less than a perfect rating for their services! They were punctual, extremely easy to work with, very professional and experienced with these types of events. Their services are very reasonably priced and cater to any budget. Nancy was especially helpful; she helped me do some makeup for one of the flower girls since the makeup artist didn't show up! As the bride, I was wondering how everything was going to turn out since on your wedding day you wish that everything would be perfect. I was unsure, but after looking at the video, I saw that everyone had a great time, and it was a lovely day afterall! YAY!!! After all is over, your video and pictures are what you have to remind you of that day!

Wow! I was so happy that I used weddingwire.com's find a vendor to be matched with Halaja Productions. I was very overwhelmed trying to navigate the hundreds of videographers in the DC metro area. After I submitted my query to weddingwire.com, I got a phone call from Nancy. Nancy left me a very clear voicemail, which answered nearly all my questions without me even asking. After checking out their website I called Nancy back. She spent the time to out line everything. I knew after that phone call that if we choose Halaja we would be in good hands on our wedding day. Nancy and Paul were very easy to work with, they know what questions to ask to get you the final product of your dreams. They did a great job capturing our wedding ceremony, wedding photos, and the reception. They had our highlights video clip completed and hosted on the internet within a few weeks. Paul did a great job weaving the video highlights with the music we selected. It was great to have it hosted on the web, so we were able to share the clip with family and friends. Once we got our copies we were surprised with how great the video was. I can't wait to watch it again! Thank you Paul and Nancy for capturing the magic of the day!

We visited 5 videographers in the DC area and Halaja offered the best value in terms of their work, customer service and products offered. What we found during and after the wedding is that their professionalism and customer service were their greatest assets and truly paid off. Prior to the wedding, they were responsive and communicative making sure they knew what we wanted. They had done Indian weddings before so that was a huge bonus since Indian weddings have so many moving parts all at the same time. They handled the stress of the wedding with ease and even saved the day when we faced a minor upset with transportation for the groom. They also helped get the crowd pumped for the procession and briefed our non Indian guests of what to do and what to expect. They briefed the groomsmen on their roles. After the wedding, they were extremely patient with us making sure our highlights video, in particular, was exactly what we wanted. It was such a pleasure to work with Nancy and Paul. Each brought different strengths to the process and demonstrated more patience than we have ever seen or would've expected, making them one of our best vendors. They were even willing to meet with us at times and locations convenient for us to record parts of our final video package.We were delighted with the end products that included a highlights video, footage from the ceremony and reception, interviews with guests, a time capsule video, a love story, etc. We have been able to relive the excitement of a busy and stressful weekend thanks to Halaja and can't wait to watch our time capsule video in 30 years! They were present at the wedding in every way we wanted them but still kept a low profile to not get in the way of the guests or the ceremony. We would recommend Halaja, without hesitation!

Paul and Nancy were amazing! They both showed up on time and were ready to go. I kid you not, they were the last people to leave the wedding after my husband and I did. They are hard working and will strive to capture all the wonderful moments. I can't wait to watch our wedding video!

I am so happy with the services provided by Halaja Productions! My family loved the video and we would highly recommend them!

I would highly recommend Halaja Productions. Comunications were easy, they were very professional and transparent. They really helped to make our day remarkable. The quality of the videos provided were exceptional. You will be well pleased. They blended in so well with my photographer and everything was wonderful. We are truely grateful for a job well done.

Paul and Nancy went above and beyond what we had expected of them! Excellent to work with and I would highly recommend using Halaja Productions for your wedding. We were very pleased with their service, level of communication and the quality of our video!

Halaja Productions has been extremely easy & comfortable to work with!

Very professional and responsive to our needs. We hardly knew they were there, yet somehow they captured every important moment of our day.

We could not have picked a better team of videographers. They delivered on every single point, and the resulving video really captured the mood and atmosphere of our wedding celebration. Thank you guys!

I would have never decided to use a videographer had someone not strongly suggested it. I found Halaja Productions to be very professional as well as economical. They listened to what my needs were and helped to design a package I would be comfortable with. Your wedding day is often so busy and full, it was wonderful to go back and take it in slowly a second or third time. They were also able to create a private link for me to allow friends and family who could not attend the wedding the opportunity to also watch the wedding ceremony online. I would not change a thing; they did an outstanding job.

Paul and Nancy were very nice, accommodating and easy to talk too!! I highly recommend using Halaja Productions for your wedding.

Although I haven't received my video back yet, Paul & Nancy are excellent with being responsive, staying later than they were supposed to, and being professionals. They were never in our way during the entire 10 hour day and stayed an hour later than they needed to to catch our entire reception. I loved working with them and am excited to see my video!

Nany and Paul at Halaja Productions create beautiful memories with artistic touch. They go out of their way to accommodate your request and truly wonderful to work with.

Over the past 20 years I have had the opportunity to work with Videographers all over MD, DE and VA. It is very easy to see, right from the start, that Halaja Productions is right up with the best of them. They are easy for both the client and the other vendors to work with…. while giving 100 percent of themselves to the project. They arrive on-time, stay through the end of their contracted time and use professional grade equipment in order to capture quality footage…in a way that is subtle and non-obtrusive to the client or guests. The best way to choose a video company is by taking the time to view their videos, and by reading their client reviews. I would encourage you to do both… by visiting their website (where you will find several examples of their work), and by taking the time to read their client reviews here on WeddingWire. Call early to reserve your date with them…and ensure that all of your wedding day memories will be captured and preserved beautifully. – STEVE MOODY – 2009 International DJ Of The Year – Owner, Steve Moody’s Entertainment Connection (Maryland)

Halaja Productions were such a pleasure to work with at a wedding Tom and I shot recently. Personable and professional, they worked hard to cover it all -- while remaining unobtrusive. They also worked well with the Bride & Groom's photography team (that's us!), which is a common question from soon-to-be Brides & Grooms. Rather than competing for shots, the Halaja Productions team coordinated with us, putting the client's needs and wishes for great photography *and* videography first. We HIGHLY recommend Halaja Productions, and hope to be working with them again soon.
