Honey & Dear, Wedding Cinematographers (Honey and Dear)

I often find that when I receive 100% on a review or when I receive criticism that has no comments that are critical, I question the quality of the assessment.

This is not the case with the service or quality that Honey and Dear provide. Across the board, having Andrew and Emily be a part of our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. They were very discrete the entire day while filming; our guests hardly noticed their presence and were in no way distracted by them. They are both funny, energetic, reassuring, and we had a a lot of fun spending the day with them.

Our guests were all blown away by the same day edit they showed at the reception. We received innumerable positive comments about how it was so personal, funny, and how they perfectly captured our big day. Honey and Dear do not merely film the day as videographers, but create a film that shows the story and feeling of the day; they truly are cinematographers.

They are transparent about what they provide, which honestly goes way beyond filming. They are well seasoned, and as such, are able to provide beneficial advice for numerous situations.

They do a wonderful job getting to know their clients, and express genuine enthusiasm for your wedding. Honey and Dear are a team and masters of presenting the perspective of both the Bride and the Groom.

They pour themselves into their work, and their passion is evident in the quality of their product. My Bride and I are so happy to not only have chosen them, but to have been able to get to know them as well. If you have the chance, do yourself a favour and let them be involved in your wedding.

Thank you Andrew and Emily,

Krist &...

I work in the television industry, so one of the things I was most picky about when planning our wedding was the videography. Andrew & Emily didn't just meet my expectations - they blew them out of the water. They are amazingly talented film makers who will capture every moment of your special day in the most beautiful and natural way possible. They are incredibly professional and helpful. Even the "jaded TV people" in attendance at our wedding haven't stopped talking about the Same Day Edit...and it takes a lot to impress them! THank you so mcuh Andrew & Emily, you helped make our wedding day unforgettable.

We asked Emily and Andrew to come to our destination wedding in Punta Cana after they did a same day edit for my sister's wedding in June of 2011. We were blown away then, and just as equally astounded by the results of our film. Aside from giving us the most amazing memories of our wedding on film, they were there to help guide and support us through the stressful process that is "the wedding day". Had it not been for these two, the day would not have turned out half as well as it did.

It was a pleasure to spend our wedding week with such professional but fun people who we trusted completely with our memories :-)

What could make the perfect day even better?
A same day edit from Honey and Dear.
I have to admit that, initially I was against the idea of hiring a Videographer, as expenses were mounting in the early part of planning our wedding.
With a few phone calls and a brief face to face, Andrew and Emily
somehow figured Ashlee and I out.
They hit every mark (in so far as what was important to Ashlee and I).
Everyone present (and those who later viewed the same day edit online) were
blown away. They really captured the spirit of our day.
The camera work, editing and colour timing were exceptional.
Andrew and Emily were completely non-intrusive and really went with the flow of
the day.
Thanks so much for providing us with a motion picture memory of our wedding,
that we will watch over and over again.

I'm glad I didn't cheap out.

Rating the quality of work that Emily and Andrew (and their super interns) did for us was easy, 12 out of 10. What they brought to our wedding however was more than a finished product, it was the intangible assets the couple possess as people. They became friends, who were calming and professional in a very supportive way. By being great people first, who genuinely cared, we were able to relax and be ourselves, only making Honey and Dear's final product that much better.

Of course, we were blown away by the final product which was a huge hit at the wedding and long after. They got our same day edit up quickly onto the internet so we could continue sharing with friends shortly after the wedding. This hard work made it so much fun for us an friends - in such a short timeline.

They don't just make a video for you, they make the day great and make incredibly artistic long lasting memories that frankly, are cooler than anything else out there. We encourage anyone a thousand times over to see what Honey and Dear can do.

Hi Andrew and Emily,

We just want to thank you guys again for everything you did for us on Saturday. You truly made our day perfect and beyond anything we could have ever imagined. We can honestly say that, apart from getting married, your videos were the best part of our entire wedding. And I think all of our guests would agree, people have not stopped talking about it for the past 2 days. What you two do is truly amazing, you are so gifted in seeing the beauty in such simple things. I wish I had half the amount of talent you two do:) Thank you so so much, again and again and again!!

Love,

Sophie and Tim

About a month before we got married our photographer (the fabulous Lee Weston) recommended that we work with Honey & Dear to film our wedding. We were skeptical about adding video to our budget so late in the game, but after seeing their work, we had to find a way to make it work. This was probably the best decision we made along the way. Working with Honey & Dear was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. Not only are Andrew and Emily extraordinarily talented cinematographers, they're professional, caring and fun. Lots of fun! We connected with them immediately and I couldn't imagine our day without them. The end result was an amazing short film that we'll watch for years to come. We've shared it with family and friends and they are all blown away with how the video captures the day so perfectly and uniquely. We would recommend Honey & Dear to anyone getting married, and we're proud to call Andrew and Emily friends.

Overall Rating = 10/10 (but that's not an option)

Honey & Dear was the BEST decision we made for our wedding! They were so friendly and accommodating and they really took the time to get to know us.

The day ran so smoothly, we felt like we were hanging out with our friends and never really noticed the camera. They picked up on everything that was important to us and they captured the day perfectly.

Words can’t explain how thankful we are that we met Andrew and Emily and what an amazing job they did. We will have this video forever and it is such a wonderful memory that we can watch daily (sometimes more than once) and something we will cherish for life.

Their talent is unbelievable and our friends and family cannot stop talking about our same day edit. They are not your typical wedding videographers, our same day edit looks like a movie trailer, starring us :)

We highly recommend Honey & Dear, what they did for us is priceless!!!

Thank you!!!
Valerie & David

We are still speechless as to the art these two created for our day. They are amazing people with huge talent!!! Our wedding guests are still talking about them! Thank you thank you thank you!!

If you want to remember the moments of the day you marry the one you love there is no better way to do it then by having Andrew and Emily of Honey & Dear film it for you. You will be working with a married couple who are NORMAL people and fun to hang out with. They will work with your schedule no matter how busy you are and you will never feel like you are just working with a vendor. They treat you like a friend. Although they are friendly they are also extremely professional. I didn't even notice them at the wedding but the shots they got were absolutely amazing.The films they have posted on their website speak for themselves. YOU WANT TO HIRE EMILY AND ANDREW.

We couldn't be happier with Honey & Dear! They took the time to get to know us before the wedding, and to understand what we were looking for from them. On the day of the wedding, they managed to blend into the background, but also to be everywhere all the time. Stealthy! The end result is a beautiful, fun, professional video that captured the spirit and energy of our day perfectly. We're so thrilled to have so many happy memories captured on video. We can guarantee we'll watch it over and over, we love it! Thank you, Andrew & Emily!

Andrew & Emily,

Cris and I are truly grateful for the wonderful work that you produced for us.

Our guests loved it!!!!!!!! Truly a wonderful video- we'll remember this experience forever. Very professional, very courteous, and friendly- like one of us. We couldn't have asked for a better video and a better pair of people in andrew and emily to have done this for us. Well worth the money.

When my husband and I started planning our wedding we decided that we were not going to have a videographer. However, we came across the Honey & Dear website and watched a number of their Same Day Edits and were convinced!
Not only were Andrew and Emily extremely professional, they were so personable and fun and turned out to be an amazing addition to our wedding, both as professionals and as friends.
Their eye for detail and natural talent to capture those perfect moments culminated in the most amazing wedding video we have ever seen. The Same Day Edit was such a great surprise for all of our guests and it was absolutely perfect. Our guests are still telling us that they watch it over and over and are still reduced to tears.
Honey & Dear is a must if you are getting married or know anyone who is!!

These guys did an amazing job. They were on time, (in fact they where early), and let us know what would happen throughout the day.

We choose to do our pictures first, and as we were taking pictures they were in the background filming away

At both the ceremony and reception, they filmed, most people not even knowing they where there (in fact, I think I was the only person who knew they where filming). And the results speak to that

No one looked like they where "On Camera" everyone looked natural, showing their real emotions because of it.

Finally, the finish product blew us away. We had seen Honey and Dear's work before...but seeing your own wedding takes it to a different level.

The only down side is that they do edit the film, so there is some time between the wedding and receiving the actual video...But they informed us of that fact before hand, and it was nice to relive that day again.

We are so happy Sorlie Arts came along for the ride! Andrew struck the right balance between professional and personal, putting everyone at ease on our wedding day. Once we got the finished product, we were blown away at how intuitive he was at capturing those tiny moments that become so invaluable. Not only did Andrew's work immortalise the wedding day for me and my husband, but it also gave us something to share with those who couldn't be there. We'll cherish this video forever. Thanks again, Andrew!

The very best part of our wedding day! (besides getting hitched)

This was the one vendor/supplier that we had no control of when planning our wedding and took the biggest leap of faith on. We are sure glad we did. Everything form their personality to level of professionalism was better than expected. We would be more than proud to refer them to any friend and family.

Instead of doing traditional speeches we had Andrew and Emily help us make two videos for our reception. The first video was interviews of the kids in the wedding party similar to the old TV show "Kids Say The Darndest Things". The second video was interviews of the wedding party and the groom's parents.
Both videos were perfect and were sooo much better than traditional speeches. the guests loved the videos and the wedding party was able to relax and enjoy the dinner and not worry about a bunch of speeches (and we didn't need to worry about what would be said... we've all seen wedding speeeches go bad).
Andrew and Emily completely understood what we were looking for and completely delivered. They were helpful, easy going and extremely responsive to our needs.
We would definitely recommend doing videos instead of speeches (the money was much better spent than on a cake, limo, etc which we didn't do). We would also strongly recommend Andrew and Emily as they did a fantastic job for us.
Thanks Andrew and Emily!

Andrew and Emily did a Same Day Edit video for us and we absolutely loved it! Not only did it capture what was important to us, such as our vows and sentimental moments but it was put together so well! They included bits from the car ride to the venue when the groom and groomsmen were sharing jokes, which really captured what the groomsmen were all about and made it that much more fun to watch! Many of our friends and family from overseas who couldn't attend the wedding watched the SDE and complimented on how touching our ceremony was and how much fun the groomsmen were having. Andrew and Emily definitely exceeded all of our expectations! They were easy to work with and fun to be around - much more like friends than the typical wedding vendor.

A few months before we got married I was speaking to one of my (married) bridesmaids while running through the oh so long lists of “done’s” and “to do’s” and I asked her if she had any regrets when her wedding was all said and done. She said their day was absolute perfection and her only regret was not having proper documentation of the day (as we all know how quickly the big day flies by). I immediately began scouring the internet for local videographers and after a few hours of searching (and hating every cheesy, home made style video on there) I came across a site that literally took my breath away. Sorlie Arts (Honey & Dear) had posted some “teasers” of wedding videos they had completed recently and they really were unlike anything else I had ever seen. The fact that complete stranger’s wedding videos could bring tears to my eye really made me realize how powerful these films are.
We were thrilled when we found out Andrew and Emily were available for our date and really and truly only have great things to say about our experiences with them. Before the wedding day we met with them to shoot a “Love Story” video, and were extremely impressed at how well these guys were able to put together our story having only met us a few times. The only way to describe it is to say that it was so “us”. It’s amazing the feeling you get when you see a reflection of yourselves in a way you’ve never seen before. I always knew that we were happy and that we belonged together, but seeing our relationship through someone else’s eyes (or camera lens) really allowed us to appreciate how lucky we are to have found eachother and how special our relationship really is.
On our wedding day Andrew and Emily were extremely professional, worked extraordinarily well with our photographer and other vendors, were flexible with times and blended in so well with the rest of our guests that you hardly would have noticed them (save the cameras they toted around all day :). When our band finished their first set Andrew and Emily set up a huge screen on the dance floor and showed both our “Love Story” video and our “Same Day Edit”. Everyone was blown away by both videos and I would not be exaggerating in saying that I think every single guest at the wedding spoke to us in one way or another (phone calls, facebook, texts, etc) expressing their love for the videos. The quality of the films is incomparable and the ability of Andrew and Emily to capture the "feel" of the day and put it together in such a beautiful compilation of clips is absolutely amazing.
Originally, we had not set aside money in our budget for a film, but once we saw what these two are capable of we made adjustments where we could and have absolutely no regrets. Our film (and our experience with Honey & Dear) was worth every penny and now looking back at everything that came together to make our day special, the film (and our photos) are our only vivid and tangible memories of a day that means so much to us.
Andrew and Emily - we would like to thank you for helping us give our guests a wedding to remember (so we’ve heard, lol), thank you for sharing your talents and gifts with us, and thank you so very much for giving us a lasting memory of the joy of our day to share with our family and friends in the future.

We are so grateful for everything that Andrew and Emily from Honey and Dear did for us on our big day. I was nervous when they showed up at my house but I soon relaxed when I met Andrew and found that he was quite friendly, and that he had this uncanny ability to make me feel very relaxed in front of the camera. That was important, especially when we saw the awesome video they created for us.

Both Andrew and Emily have a positive energy about them, and were very collegial and professional. I believe they went above and beyond the service we signed up for.

When our friends and family saw the same-day-edit later on in the evening at the reception, we felt like movie stars. The quality of the video (editing, sound, image, etc.) was so beyond our expectations that it brought tears to our eyes and made our hearts race. Watching the same-day-edit for the first time is something we both will never forget. We've seen it countless times since, and even months after our wedding, we still get people telling us how much they loved it. The feeling is truly priceless, and when you put that together with everything that happens on your wedding day, well, it's hard to put into words.

Now that everything is over, we're so happy that we have this amazing memory to share with our friends and family.

Emily and Andrew really went over and above. The "same day edit" was one of the highlights of our wedding day.

Doing a wedding film was not really included in our wedding budget but I was able to sway my now husband that it would be worth the investment. We can honestly say 5 months after our wedding that Honey & Dear was the best investment decision we made for our wedding day! The same day edit was such a treat, and our wedding DVD blew us away! I can't wait to be able to share this day with my kids, grandkids, re-live it on our 25th anniversary years from now because I know it will make us smile, laugh and cry every time we watch it.

Andrew and Emily are a young, extremely talented and passionate couple who truly understand the importance of this day!!!

Kylee & Tom

Ps. You can watch our same day edit on there website :)

First of all, let me just say that Andrew & Emily are AMAZING wedding film makers!! I'm sure you can already tell from the videos on their website what kind of work they are capable of doing. I know when I stumbled upon their site and saw one of their wedding videos I started crying at my desk! And then I promptly emailed my fiance and told him this is who I want to film our day. Anyone that knows me knows that I am obsessed with pictures and capturing every special moment. So our wedding film was very important to me as a bride. I always felt that a good wedding film could potentially help a couple weather some of the storms of married life. Although I can't picture it now, I'm sure a day will come when I am not so madly in love with my husband and we've just had a big argument, and I can see myself putting on our film, and reliving our special day, and remembering all the reasons why he's the one I chose to spend the rest of my life with which would put things into perspective again.

The other thing that I wanted to say is that the part that you can't see from Andrew & Emily's website is what amazing & professional people they are to work with!! So many guests at our wedding that got a chance to talk to them, came up to us and told us how great they were. (Which came as no surprise to us!) We really felt like they truly cared about capturing our day. They didn't treat it like a "job". Even though we had just met them, it felt like they treated us as friends, and did their very best to do capture all the details of our day. And they went above and beyond the call of duty, helping our out of province photographers find cute places to take picture of us, and helping them with their camera settings. Like I said, they didn't treat it as a contractual obligation. They really acted like caring friends, which we really appreacited.

In conclusion, hiring Andrew & Emily was one of the best decisions we made!!

It is an amazing feeling when your wedding film maker blends in as if he's another member of your bridal party. Andrew from Sorlie Arts was extremely professional yet fun...it did not feel like we were on camera at all. I can't wait to see the final product!! He made us feel comfortable and I will certainly recommend him to other brides!

Andrew & Emily are not videographers they are wedding film makers!!!

We filmed a "Love Story," which was used as our entrance at the reception. Filming the Love story was an absolute joy Andrew and Emily are a lot of fun and have great ideas for those, like myself who get a little camera shy. After hours of shooting and I am sure countless hours of editing the final product was absolutely amazing.

The way they pieced our story together was touching. When it was viewed by all of our guests there not was a dry eye. The Love Story is one of the highlights of our wedding and something that all of our guests talked about for days. Everyone was impressed with the quality... it reminds me of a TLC special, lol.

Check out some of their films and you will understand my excitement and appreciation for their work. Your special day goes by so fast and all that you will have to relive the moment is your wedding film.

Sorlie Arts made a fantastic wedding video for us! We were so excited about how beautifully our day was captured, but also how Andrew really captured us. Andrew is truly talented and was a pleasure to have with us for the whole wedding experience. Thanks for capturing those moments that we'll always remember, as well as those we might've missed! Awesome job, Andrew.

I was very happy with our videographers and final product.

Sorlie Arts is a dedicated, compassionate and creative videography team - this was shown by their dedication and excitement to film our wedding! Sorlie Arts paid attention to many of the details on our wedding day that we missed in all of the hype.The end result was awesome - it was clear that a lot of time and effort was expelled to create a near flawless 30-minute version of our special day. We would hire Sorlie Arts again, perhaps when we've got a little one to capture on film! :)

Katie & Bryan

good quality and quick service

We recently had our wedding filmed by Honey and Dear - a fun young husband and wife duo. It seems fitting that a husband and wife would be great wedding film makers. I use the term ' film makers" because they are not your average wedding videographers but rather worked seemlessly around our wedding day to capture the energy of the day.

We asked them for a natural ,happy , energetic film with style and that is exactly what they delivered. They are awesome to work with and we highly recommend them.

Christine and Bosko

Andrew and Emily are the most amazing couple to work with as cinematographers. Not only do they do amazing work, but they are truly a joy to work with. They're fun, they have a true passion for their work, and they seem to connect so well with every couple they do video for. I have heard nothing but amazing things from my couples about them.

I highly recommend Honey and Dear they are professional and there service is exception.
Our clients LOVE them !!!!!!

Honey & Dear capture every moment of your special day. A true keepsake that will never go out of style!

Andrew did my promo video for my site and I couldn't be happier with the outcome! Andrew is also a great friend and I would be more then happy to suggest his work to any of my brides looking for wedding cinematography!

Andrew and Emily are AWESOME!!! They are so easy going, and yet so professional, an extremely talented duo. Their work is nothing shy of spectacular; the quality and creativity speaks for itself. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

I met Andrew recently when we were participating in a community event. He is an absolutely amazing videographer and should be the first choice for any couple looking for someone to provide this service on their big day.

Glad to see you here...

I trust Sorlie Arts with my recommendations. I know they’ll never let me or my couples down and beyond that I know that they’ll thrill our clients and in turn make me look good for recommending them. I’m a fan.
