Reviews for Seattle Wedding Videographer
GUEST




Ryan and Ryan captured the video footage at our wedding at Thornewood Castle. While I have not seen the final product yet, I still will highly recommend them. They are so kind and professional, attentive and customer service oriented. The day of the wedding, they even downloaded ALL of the video footage to my laptop so that I could see the unedited clips before I get my final DVD.Ryan is so responsive as well. Email is the best way to get him. He responds immediately. I can't wait to see the video that he puts together for us!!




Ryan was so great to work with!!! We had him video just our ceremony, and he was able to capture every moment with perfect clarity. He is a professional and knew exactly where to set up in order to get the right view. It's so important for this once in a lifetime event to select vendors who are experienced and knowledgeable, and Ryan is exactly that. We definitely recommend Seattle Wedding Videography!!!!




Ryan truly did an amazing job capturing our wedding. Hiring a videographer was kind of an afterthought and we are truly grateful we hired Ryan. We now have lifelong memories of our big day in a professionally produced video. Through the whole process Ryan always responded to emails promptly and was consistently reliable. He had a great turnaround, he actually sent us the sample DVD within days after the wedding which was awesome!! Ryan was a pleasure to work with the day of the wedding. Throughout the whole day he kept an upbeat and positive attitude. He worked well with our DJ and photographer, and was a fun guy to have around. He captured some great angles and the finished product has some very artistic shots. The DVD incorporates some of our favorite songs and all the major events of the wedding. We would definitely recommend Ryan to any couple getting married




Ryan did amazing capturing all of the important moments in the ceremony and the reception as well. He is friendly, kind, and professional. I liked the fact that he was not disturbing. We were not even aware of his presence while he was filming the video. I really liked him when he did my niece's wedding video this summer. I didn't plan to have a video for my wedding, but it was a surprise gift from my family. It made me happy that my family picked Ryan. I would have picked him if I would've planned having a video.




I enjoyed working with Ryan. After meeting him at our rehearsal he was like a friend and fit right in with my wedding party and worked well with our photographers. I enjoyed the whole video... being able to see our ceremony again and re-live the moments of exchanging our vows, seeing the cocktail hour that we never got the chance to make, signing our licenses, watching the first dances, and capturing the beauty of the space. I am especially happy that we took Ryan’s advice to set up a video for our guests to leave us personal well wishes. They were a lovely surprise at the end of our video allowing us to connect with some people that we didn’t get to spend that much time with that day. The tone of our wedding video fit the theme of our wedding. The music even custom selected from our wedding.




If you’re looking for a videographer to record your big day, Seattle Wedding Videography by Ryan is the one to go to. Ryan is such a fun person to work with. He is dedicated about his work; he even went to the church we got married at on the day of our rehearsal so that he can check out place to best record our ceremony. After the wedding, the turnaround time for the video was done very quickly. We had a few edits we wanted in the DVD and Ryan was quick to revise it to our perfection.




I have nothing but good things to say about Ryan! Working with him was so easy before, during and after the wedding, and he was always on top of things and quick to respond to any questions we had. The value of his services and the finished product exceeded our expectations. He was very professional during the wedding and reception, and captured all of the key moments beautifully. My husband and I were marveling about how we didn't even remember seeing him during the wedding/reception, which I think is a huge plus....he was really able to get everything on camera without being intrusive in any way. His editing was superb...we didn't have a single change to request for the final DVD! Plus, the "cover" art that he put together using pictures from our photographer is really, really well done. We highly recommend him!




I was very happy working with this videographer. He was very friendly and approachable, yet still professional. I only contracted for the raw footage from the ceremony, but he also captured our first look as well as interviews which was a pleasant surprise. I would recommend him to anyone.




There are so many amazing moments I either didn't know happened, or forgot about due to the commotion of the big day and I am so incredibly happy we had Ryan to film all those special moments. They were incredibly professional, fun, and speedy. The edited video was perfect. You can really see the passion they have for their profession during the entire process and in the finished product. They were a joy to work with and I would recommend them to anyone!




I appreciate so much that Ryan took the time to film well-wishes from family and friends. He was creative enough to find an out-of-the-way spot to film while not interrupting the rest of the reception. In addition, I appreciated that Ryan gently asked (but encouraged) people in a professional way to add to the well-wishes. He had a great way of being professional, but very friendly as well.
I was amazed at how Ryan was able to get all the wedding and reception video, and I barely noticed he was there! He had a great way of getting the footage without getting in the way.
Ryan captured all the most important moments of our special day and did it with a smile and a very positive attitude.




Ryan is one of the kindest and most on top of it vendors I met through the process of planning my wedding. I was having a hard time finding an affordable wedding videographer that didn't charge and arm and a leg. It seemed to m's that everyone of the other vendors either cost way to much or didn't offer enough for the price. Ryan and istarimedia are super affordable and worth the price. He goes above and beyond to give you a special experience. You will not regret working with him!




I am a very picky person and a perfectionist, and I was the bride, bad combo. I was very happy with the video, and when I did want things changed or music taken out, Ryan was more than willing to do it and he responded back almost instantly I felt. I love my video so much and he captured perfect moments of the day. My husband and I are more than satisfied. Being the bride and groom the day is just go go go go, you dont really get time to look around and soak up the happiness and the love of the day, so i'm so glad we got a videophotograhper and that it was Ryan. The happiness on our faces that he captured and the music he played in the background was perfect. Also, we did not even realize he was there. My husband didn't even know we had a video photographer until he came up and said goodbye so if you are worried about someone being all in your business, go with Ryan. Very professional and we are very happy with our video.
Vendor response to review
Thank you Mallorie - very flattering review, really. Thanks SO much! My pleasure to serve you and Alex and blessings on a happy life together!




Ryan was great... very professional. This was our third child to get married in a little over 3 years and all in different locations so Ryan had an uphill battle since we knew what we wanted and expected from the other two. As I am sure most out there know this is the BIGGEST part of the wedding as the day of the wedding can be hectic and hard to take in everything. It is the videophotographer who has to capture and obtain all the events so that after the fact you can sit back and relive and remember everything that seemed to happen so fast. Ryan did an excellent job and was great to work with. I would not hesistate to use Seattle Wedding Videophotographer. They were the best and totally AWESOME.
Vendor response to review
Thank you SO much Margie!!




Favorite part of the wedding video? Anything beyond ceremony & reception?
I loved watching all the dancing and getting to see my friends and family bust their moves! Everyone looks so happy and it's great to get to just relive it all and take it all in.
How did the videographer avoid disrupting the day?
I barely even knew he was there! It was wonderful how he weaved through the crowds and caught fun and intimate moments- all without being in your face. Ryan even offered some comfort to us during a stressful moment and helped smooth out our anxiety.
Did the videographer capture all important wedding moments? Candids? Interviews?
Yes! We had interviews, we got to tell our story, and every "moment" from the ceremony, toasts, cake cutting, and dancing were all included.
Tone of the wedding video?
The wedding video is fabulous. It's fun, intimate, heart-warming, and creative. It captures the best moments of our special day in a way that puts us right back in it. Thank you Ryan!




Ryan was AWESOME to work with!! We met Ryan at our best friend's wedding a few months before we were engaged and got his card to hold on to. We connected with him immediately at their wedding and were excited by his infectiously fun and outgoing personality! We finally were engaged ourselves, Ryan had touched base with us a few times to see if it had happened. It was nice to know he wanted to be a part of our wedding as much as we wanted him! Ryan attended our rehearsal to scope the space and meet everyone. On the big day - he showed up a few hours before to get video of the prepping...and stayed through our grand exit as the getaway car pulled away. Ryan always has a smile on his face and an incredibly positive attitude. The turn around was very fast - we recieved our preview DVD within a few days of returning from our honeymoon. I had no idea what to expect as I've never seen anyone's Wedding video before - but it was about 2 hours of wonderfulness!! It even included a nice section of my husband rapping into the camera and me joining half way through as a backup dance. Ryan did some special editing to that section and it ended up being like our own little music video!! Another nice thing he included was putting us in a room privately to tell our story to the camera - it was a very nice addition to the video. Ryan is very affordable, and I can't say enough how FUN he is to work with!




As I know next to nothing about videography, looking for a wedding videographer was a daunting task. Finding Ryan was a huge blessing. He made the entire process pain-free. I selected him as our wedding videographer after meeting with him at a local coffee shop. At our first meeting he was friendly, engaging, and very knowledgeable. I came prepared with my list of standard questions, and he patiently and enthusiastically answered each one.
Ryan’s performance at the wedding was five-star. He came on time, was dressed professionally, was friendly with the wedding party, and quickly made people at ease on film. Ryan is energetic, fun to be around, and very professional. These qualities made for a wedding video that captures people laughing, being themselves, and enjoying the event.




I couldn't have imagined how thankful I would be to have video footage of our day. Ryan was able to capture every detail, was so much fun to work with, and had really creative ideas which made for some both hilarious and romantic footage that we will have forever and ever. We were so pleased with how reliable he was, and how well he wrangled our group together for fun shots. Thanks Ryan!
-Morgan and Matthew




Ryan is THE VIDEOGRAPHER to have for your wedding! He truly makes the day so much fun and he captures all of the special moments! If you have questions about his plan for the wedding, he is very quick at getting back to you and makes sure that the final product is exactly what you want. I highly recommend Ryan for your wedding! He takes so much stress off the day with just his personality alone but when you add in his video talents, it makes the day even greater. And to top it off, he will mail you the greatest day ever on a DVD! Thank you Ryan so much for all your hard work at our wedding! You truly are a blessing!




FANTASTIC. I appreciated Ryan's professionalism, responsiveness and dedication. My video turned out great. Ryan was wonderful to work with. Everyone at my wedding loved my vendors, including Ryan, he captured everything I wanted and did it without being in the way. My sisters both had videographers and neither of them liked the product they received. I LOVE MINE!!!! I would recommend Ryan for any wedding!!!!




We HIGHLY recommend Ryan from Istarimedia as your wedding videographer. He was extremely easy to work with and has the best customer service skills. It was wonderful to get an immediate response from him. He really listens to what you want and provides good insight. We received our first DVD review so fast! It was nice to watch the review and see the day from a different perspective. We got to enjoy it all over again. We smiled and laughed the whole time watching the DVD. He offers a great service at the right price and we couldn’t have asked for anything better.




We simply could not be happier with our wedding video! Ryan's professionalism and attention to detail were amazing. He captured the atmosphere of our wedding at Willows Lodge perfectly! Ryan was by far the promptest wedding vendor I dealt with. He took the time to come to our rehearsal to get the lay of the land and meet us...this extra step really made a difference. Ryan blended in seamlessly at the wedding as well. Until about two months before our wedding, we were not planning on hiring a videographer. That would have been a huge mistake, especially after seeing the unforgettable video Ryan produced for us. Now our memories truly will last a lifetime! I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a truly professional, talented and reasonably-priced videographer!




My wife (I love saying that!) and I hired Ryan G. to capture our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier. He blew us away with his attention to detail on all of the shots he got for us. For instance, he found a time to get a stellar panoramic of the pre-ceremony decor + all of the cool little random stuff that we set up for our crazy night. Also, he got all of my shy friends to give FANTASTIC testimonials on camera (mind = blown). I guess the best compliment I can give is by saying he went well out of his way to get everything right for Gina and I. By this, I mean he worked with the DOC, Photog, DJ, (and maybe a little The Bride) to hash things out and make the fun recordable. Props to you Sir. We absolutely enjoyed your services.
P.S. We didn't get editing services with Ryan (we might eventually...he holds your files for awhile.) but he was nice enough to show us some of our videos in his studio and go over what we might need to do for transitions and sound... I'm a computer junkie so I like to learn about muting out low-ends to boost the high-end in software!
P.P.S. I forgot to mention the quality of the picture: A+

We searched far and wide to find a videographer for our wedding in January 2011. We interviewed it seemed like countless potential vendors! We could tell right away that Ryan was very professional yet personable. We were very happy with his preparation for our wedding day and when that day came, he did an exceptional job capturing our special day! When we watched the video production Ryan put together, we were very happy with his creative touches. We recommend Ryan very highly!-George and Elizabeth (Woodinville)




I cannot recommend Ryan highly enough! He was the most reasonably priced videographer we interviewed for our January '11 wedding and he was more professional than most. He is dedicated to making the best possible video, just the way you want it and his level of service and follow through are truly impressive. He far exceeded our expectations in every way, was open to the small changes I asked for and the video turned out perfectly. Our wedding video was ready to review when we returned from our honeymoon and the final copy was to us just days after I approved it. We even ordered more copies to give as gifts to the wedding party after we saw how great it was. Ryan’s enthusiasm is infectious and it was really nice to have such a positive, client focused attitude from him before, during and after our wedding. Ryan also converted a treasured video for me from VCR to DVD and turned it around in just a few days. Choosing Ryan was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning!
Vendor response to review
THANK YOU SO MUCH SUSAN!!!




My husband and I decided that we wanted a videographer as one of the very last things before the wedding (about 2 months before). Ryan was an excellent choice for our budget. I decided that I wanted to edit the wedding video myself, so hired him just to film the ceremony and reception. The cost was well below that of comparable services. Leading up to the wedding, he was the most responsive vendor we had. When the big day arrived, Ryan skillfully managed to capture every little detail without being a distraction to the party. The only complaint we would have was that sometimes he would get in the way of the photographer, but I feel this may have been our fault for not telling him that the photographer had priority (and some brides feel the opposite).
He was able to transfer the footage onto the hard drive that we gave to him right away - I believe a few days after, but we were on honeymoon so the quick turn-around didn't matter to us. When we finally got around to watching it, I was blown away by the footage! I expected high quality video from his equipment, and for the filming style to be good, but I had no idea that at the price point we paid we would get brilliantly artistic shots, angles, and panning that rival competition at much higher prices (and trust me, I had wanted so badly to splurge a couple grand to get a highly professional team of videographers). I was amazed that he was able to capture every little detail of our wedding that even our photographer had omitted (brides: think favors, decoration, etc). It made me very pleased that even though we weren't paying him to edit the video, he did not disappoint with his artistic filming ways, giving me more than enough to work with in creating my own video. I highly recommend Ryan - he really exceeded our expectations and I guarantee you none of my friends would know the difference between his filming style and that of the videographers who charge the big bucks.

Ryan was literally a gift to my husband and me for our wedding day and we are so glad he was! I barely even noticed he was around and he captured little details that I totally missed! Thank you Ryan for the quality and professionalism you brought to our wedding day video! You blessed us immensely! We highly recommend Ryan to any bride and groom to be!




Ryan was extremely helpful, and requested detailed information about the wedding up-front so that the wedding day was seamless and he was able to capture ALL of the important moments! Ryan even got some pictures from the photographer so that he could customize my friends wedding DVD case, and DVD menu... istarimedia definitely beat out other videographers on price AND services, you will not be disappointed... unless he's already booked!




Love IstariMedia! Ryan caught everything on video that I wanted! Definitely was affordable and gave us footage to our wedding less than 3 days later. I totally recommend IstariMedia if you are looking for a great videographer who captures all those awesome moments! Thank you Ryan:)

I would like to highly recomend Ryan for videography! He did such an amazing job. He was quick to get back to me with any questions I had and was very helpful. He was a big hit at our weddinng too, all my guests just loved him! He was able to be a croud pleaser and at the same time make a great video! Our video is just perfect! It was actually waiting for us in the mail when we got back from our honeymoon, we were surprised on how quickly he got it to us. Again, I would recomend Ryan to anyone, it was a pleasure working with him and having him at our wedding!




Like everyone these days, my newlywed wife and I work hard for our money. To find the best, most cost effective multimedia vendor for our wedding was paramount. We researched and interviewed several vendors; ended up awarding IstariMedia our special day.
Ryan proved himself to be an excellent communicator and made us feel that we had a multimedia partner, as opposed to a vendor. He listened to our needs and made suggestions based on his expertise.
The final production of our wedding was well crafted. Both our families were very happy and impressed with Ryan's work. I HIGHLY recommend others to sit down and have a consultation with Ryan. It will be apparent immediately, that your special day will be in excellent hands.
All the best,
Peter Vu




My only major mistake was to have an outdoor wedding ceremony in Seattle without a canopy. Darn rain! :( A decision I don't regreat.....hiring Ryan as our wedding videographer. Ryan was not only a professional videographer, but he was a much needed support person for the entire day. Ryan was friendly, flexible, and went the extra mile. He pays special attention to detail and ensures that you are happy with the finished product. Thanks again Ryan for capturing one of the best days of my (our) life! :)
Sincerely,
Ben and Leaha




Where do I start? Ryan was the 4th videographer I met with, and in this case the 4th time was the charm. Our meeting was great he helped me have a better understanding and showed me his equipment. Ryan came to my wedding rehearsal to get a feel for the church, the rehearsal was kind of hectic and at one point I was in tears(not because of him) Ryan then said some positive and uplifting words and reassured me my wedding would be perfect.It didn't seem like he was just there to do a job, he actually cared and is passionate about what he does.
The day of the wedding he was there early and left late, he didn’t miss anything and he was not intruding either. I would recommend Istarmedia to everyone, because of Ryan I have good material and can relive my wedding over and over again.




Ryan did our wedding video and also shot video for me during my musical adventures in NYC. Both products ended up being FANTASTIC and exactly what we wanted!!! He is one of the easiest guys to work with and really knows how to draw peoples' personality out and create an atmosphere of energy and pure joy! My wife and I could not have asked for a better man and artist to work with us in all of this. Ryan you have taken a jumble of moments, and helped paint for us a picture of memories that we will have for the rest of our lives!!! Thank you so much for sharing it with us and pouring so much of your heart in to every scene!!! We will always refer people to Istarimedia because, to be frank, its the best!!!




Being the Mother of the groom I can't begin to tell you how great it was to have Ryan do our son's wedding. It is one of the biggest days a mother waits for. Now with Ryan's expertise I can relive that day over and over again. He became apart of our family that day. Catching all our special moments! Making our guests feel comfortable and making them feel special too! Ryan also traveled to New York with my son to document his recording of his mp3. Again, I, not being able to be there with him to watch and live the excitement of the recording, Ryan caught everything on video and it was just like being there! Thank you Ryan for all you have done! You have made a mother proud. You can be sure that we will use you at my daughters wedding next June!

Ryan did a great job and was wonderful to work with. Very honest and organized. He covered every detail of our wedding day, at an affordable price.




When all is said and done, I was so thankful that we budgeted for a videographer. What was even better was that we had the pleasure to work with Ryan from IstariMedia. He is a vendor who is passionate about his work and he truly enjoys what he does. Ryan is pleasant, prompt, and professional. The quality of his work was above and beyond our expectations and yet still affordable. Pictures are wonderful but they don't capture the sweetness of the day quite like Ryan can. I highly recommend that all brides say, "I DO" to this vendor.




Ryan was incredibly responsive and friendly right from the start. We decided to get a videographer last-minute so it was a relief to have someone that was flexible and worked fast to get us quotes and answer questions. Ryan was unable to film our wedding but he made sure to be at the rehearsal and have someone else there to tape our wedding for us. Our review DVD was ready in no time and he took care of any issues that we had right away and made sure we were happy with it. Also I don't know much about videography but I'm pretty sure we got a good deal!
Thanks guys!




When we contacted Ryan, he was helpful and polite. He showed us some sample videos of weddings that he had done and we liked them. He gave us a discount for mentioning that we had found him on the web. He really worked with us to find something that would meet our needs and that would fit our price range. We received a great final product!
He was very helpful. He is very prompt in answering e-mails and getting the product done. Don't be discouraged by the weird form at the beginning, if you tell him that you don't know what any of that is he will explain it to you like he did with us.




Ryan did a WONDERFUL job for us at our wedding. We love the way the video looks and he was there to capture our entire day right up to the end of the reception.
If you are looking for high quality, easy to work with, friendly and professional then I would highly recommend Ryan to cover your special day. Both my wife and I could not have asked for a better way to remember our wedding.
Thanks Ryan!!
Tyler & Michelle Martin




Ryan was absolutely amazing! My fiance and I were going for a non-traditional, documentary-style video, and he was an total pleasure to work with. His creativity helped bring out the results we were looking for, and our guests loved working with him so much that he is guarenteed the future business of all our friends and family! Not to mention that he has been the epitome of professionalism, punctuality, and great service. Working with IstariMedia, you just can't go wrong!




Beautiful job,Ryan!
I would recommend IstariMedia without hesitation! Ryan Graves did a beautiful job of videoing our daughter's wedding. His creativity and integrity are outstanding! Ryan captured the tender moments of the event so we can enjoy them for years to come. His prices are reasonable and he is very delightful to work with. the final video is a treasure! His dedication to his work was evident at every turn.
Happy Mom!! Kerry




We had a wonderful experience with IstariMedia! Ryan was reliable and hard working. Our wedding DVD is one of our most valued gifts from our wedding. He took creative, thoughtful shots of the pre-wedding, ceremony and reception. Getting a videographer is always a good idea, but if you go with Ryan at IstariMedia, he will give his best.
From start to finish, Ryan went above and beyond. On the day after our wedding, we chose to fly off the island where our wedding was on a little sea plane. He stayed an additional day on the island and didn't charge us anything extra for his extra time.
As a means of comparison, my husband had a company promotional video produced just a few months before our video from Istari. That video was only 3.5 minutes long and cost $3,000. Ryan's video was over 4.5 hours, cost just shy of $1,000 and was of very comparable video quality and editing.
My husband and I would both like to offer a ringing endorsement for Ryan and IstariMedia!




We HIGHLY recommend Ryan of Istarimedia. Ryan vidoegraphed both our wedding and reception. My husband first learned of Seattle Videography and contacted Ryan. He was immediately impressed by Ryan’s knowledge and enthusiasm. In preparing for the videography, we first reviewed the Seattle Wedding Videography webside, then talked with Ryan as we went through the process of getting a quote. We talked with Ryan a couple of times as we made our way through the questions (and he made it clear we didn’t have to answer all of them, and he helped us understand the reasons behind the questions). We believe that we got the video results we were looking for as a result of his thorough pre-event planning. We then talked with several other couples who had used Ryan for recent weddings – all were very encouraging and enthusiastic about Ryan’s service and their videos.
Ryan’s quote for services was more reasonable than several others we contacted. Ryan came to our church for the rehearsal the day before the ceremony (even though we hadn’t required this), and made some suggestions which resulted in a better product. He worked well with the sound technician from our church (sharing a small space in the balcony), as well as with the photographer for our wedding and reception.
Ryan captured our wedding beautifully and worked to produce a thorough video from our reception. He captured the reception setting and most guests on the video. He stayed close to us and kept us smiling through much of the reception.
Ryan worked closely with us when our review video was lost by the Postal Service, and kept in close contact and quickly sent a replacement. He was amenable to making a few minor changes (ex: fonts and volume of interviews), and was quick to produce the final DVD’s for us. We are very pleased with the end product, and HIGHLY recommend Ryan for your wedding (or other event) video.

Having Ryan as the videographer for my wedding was fantastic! I planned my own wedding by myself in 3 weeks - I feel lucky to quickly find Ryan from IstariMedia. Ryan was not only professional but also impressively passionate about his work at all times. In this day and age, one does not often find passion to be intertwined with one's profession. That is not the case with Ryan. He sure loves his craft. Both my husband and I clicked with Ryan the first time we met him. During the photo sessions done by our wedding photographer, Ryan's impromptu presence and humor greatly contributed to my smiling face. That's why I called him 'the photographer's impromptu and excellent assistant.' As far as prices and discounts, Ryan has been very helpful to us. My husband and I are fully satisfied with the video Ryan put together for us. I am proud to say that I was the one who initially found Ryan's business online. That said, I am very glad that I chose Ryan as my wedding videographer. I highly recommend Ryan to anyone who values quality, talented professionals and reasonable prices.




I had a connection with a friend of a friend for a videographer, but I went online to research what normal prices were, and what what was included for the given price. I'm glad I did. Low and behold I found IstariMedia while browsing randomly online. I put in my information on the easy to use website, including what I wanted (ex. 1-3 songs, only 1 photographer), and was given back an estimate almost immediately. The estimate was EXACTLY what I paid for the finished product, and cheaper than my friend of a friend with more accessories!
Ryan from IstariMedia even came to my rehearsal (but not to our rehearsal dinner :) ) to scope out the ceremony location so he could get a feel for how things would work on the wedding day. I certainly didn't ask him to do this. This is how IstariMedia is: very proactive, quick and attentive, you won't be waiting endless hours to find an answer to your question.
The actual wedding day he was very attentive as well and got plenty of good shots, angles, and of course all the important parts (toast, boquet toss, garter toss, first dances). IstariMedia also spent some time with us during our reception to get what I can only describe as what would look like in a romantic music video. Myself and my groom holding each other, smiling and whispering to each other while music is in the background playing. This didn't take any time away from our reception because it was while our photgrapher was taking pictures!
My only advice to IstariMedia is let them know what you want beforehand so they don't have to ask on your wedding day (which every vendor ended up doing especially my cateror). Also you can't hear the audio during my dad's speech but that is because the mike wasn't on! Not IstariMedia's fault. I was a busy bride, and didn't have enough time to plan my wedding (but everything worked out anyway as it does, don't stress bride to be's!) and didn't communicate very well with IstariMedia, but the finihed DVD (which I got 2 copies of by the way, and 2 samples) were great. IstariMedia wouldn't send me the final copy until I approved of the sample. Overall excellent customer service! I would recommend IstariMedia to anyone, whether you have a budget or don't, its affordable, you have MANY options, and IstariMedia is willing to work with you! If your finished product isn't perfect, honestly its because you didn't communicate what you wanted. We aren't capable of telepathic communication yet people!
Go IstariMedia!




Ryan filmed my son's wedding in July and he did a sensational job. I knew nothing about viodeography and he answered every question and gave me many options. He came to the rehersal at the church and spent a lot of time going over every detail. He did a fantastic job on the wedding and everyone is thrilled with the video. He stayed for the entire reception and everybody had fun with him and remarked about how nice he was. I would not hesitate to use Ryan again, he truly produced a beautiful commemmorative DVD that we can enjoy for many years to come. Thanks so much!




I would HIGHLY recommend this vendor. Ryan worked very hard at our daughter's wedding. He came the day before to rehersal to make sure that he set up in the right place. He stayed for the duration of the ceremony and the reception. He totally captured every important moment and those unexpected too! He was professional, personable and a joy to work with. I can't say enough about the video. It was beautiful and it is now something we will treasure the rest of lives. Our daughter and her husband along his parents were delighted with video and are so thankful that we chose Ryan for this very special day. We have another daugther and son and when they get married Ryan will be one of the first calls that I will make. Not only is he good at his job, but he is very nice young man.




My Husband and I approached Ryan with IstariMedia for our June 2009 wedding Videography. We filled out his online form with questions regarding our needs for the weddings. It had questions that made me think more, such as how many diffusers I would need or questions like what camera angles I would like and so on. I loved this question sheet because it made me evaluate my locations and do some due diligence on the questions asked. It was helpful because one of the Grand Ballrooms I had chosen was a little dim and needed the extra light. This thorough question sheet helped us plan our wedding better and have solid footage from our wedding. I am happy he had us fill it out ahead of time. Afterwards, we received a preliminary quote for our event. Than we met Ryan to discuss the quote and review more of his work. This is when we reviewed the quote and did more investigating as well. REALLY HELPFUL! Ryan was able to educate us on ways to better the video results and it didn't change the cost! To further impress us Ryan is an absolute professional who is super friendly and is a pleasure to have as a part of our special moment. A week before the wedding we met with Ryan a second time. We met at a local Red Robin and I brought a bit of my family with me. Ryan blended right in and we had a blast. This was important for us because we wanted someone who could get along with our family, who at times can even drive us nuts :). We are extremely proud of the work Ryan did and even his follow up with us. He has been a pleasure to work with and all my family and friends are excited to see his final video of our wedding. WE all have reviewed his raw footage and it is AWESOME!!!! Ryan is the best professional Videographer we could have had be a part of our wedding. He worked seamlessly with my Photographer (who also praised him heavily). Ryan will always be the one we choose for any of our video needs in the future.




Our wedding was planned in less than 3 months- and we were hurriedly looking for a videographer to capture our big day. We luckily stumbled upon Ryan of IstariMedia who took the time out to meticulously reply back to our emails in a timely and efficient manner. We were also fortunate enough to correspond not only via email but also over text and phone. Although the time was ticking upon us for the arrival of our wedding- we didn't feel any concern or anxiety with our videographer- he displayed his professionalism and punctuality throughout our correspondence with him. When we requested a sample of his DVD and our schedules conflicted he offered to just express mail the sample and called us for confirmation of delivery.
His website is very straightforward- questions that were brought up through the general survey is pretty standard- providing that you know how long you want footage to be covered, how important music is throughout your DVD, and all the important details that needed to be addressed such as microphone usage, start/end time, etc. The day before the wedding; he arrived at our rehearsal to go over some basics- he pretty much wanted to ensure that he had coverage from every angle at the Church- and whether or not his microphone would be able to function at the venue. All these details were important to Randy *now husband and I because we wanted to make sure that every word was captured in the DVD- (the DVD is going to be sent to his mother overseas)Simply put- his standard operating procedures were on point and he seemed just as excited and happy as we were. On the day of the wedding- he arrived earlier than expected and checked in with our wedding planner- and everywhere we were, he was there with his camera and gear. He never missed a single precious moment and although our wedding ceremony and reception lasted until the wee hours of the night- he still remained calm, professional, and humorous.
Not only was he able to go above and beyond his service role- he exceeded expectations when there were several songs that weren't available in his library and he went out of his way to search for them and add them to our DVD. His exceptional service and go-get attitude shone through every step of the way!
His outstanding service will definitely have us recommending him to our friends and family!




My husband and I moved here from the UK two years ago. We were engaged at the time and decided to get married once we decided that we were going to stay here with his job. We didn't know very many people but some friends at church told us about Istarimedia and we were very pleased with all the help he gave us. He was extremely knowledgeable and so professional with us and at the wedding and it turned out lovely. We could have been shattered from all the details but he alleviated our anxiety with his help. He also did some work for us two months ago in making a DVD presentation for my husband's classic car collector friends and it was very impressive.




We loved working with Ryan. We found him online, called him last minute, and found him to be very professional and fun. Our video is wonderful!! We really loved his prices, too. He goes out of his way to be reasonable, and I think it was a miracle we were able to get such a high quality video at such a reasonable price. He also went out of his way to take into account all the details of the wedding situation, before the day of the wedding! Although I think we found him less than 2 weeks before the wedding, he was able to visit our site twice, suggest lighting, get to know our people, answer our questions, take care of things himself when we just were overwhelmed and didn't know (he was definitely not high maintenence!), create a unique product, not be stingy with the rights (he would have allowed us to put up the video on You tube and even help us with that, had we found the time!), and be a blessing... He was also right on top of producing the video as quickly as possible! We loved the interviews or comments he got onto the video at the reception as well, what a surprise! It really helped us to relive the wedding, which was important, because it went by so fast for us. Thanks Ryan for such a great job!!




I would highly recommend Ryan. We hired him to transfer old footage of our wedding to a DVD format as well as edit the footage, add graphics, transitions, etc. Basically, create a top notch classy wedding video out of home shot amateur footage. This video is my Christmas gift to my wife, hence, it was important that the job was done right and the end result was high quality. Ryan did not disappoint. He was responsive, quick, and most importantly produced a fantastic end product worthy of a gift on Christmas. In addition, he listened to my ideas and my needs and incorporated this into his design, which was great. He clearly understands media and technology and provides great customer service. Most importantly, he understands the human element of his work.
I plan to continue to use him in the future and would recommend anyone else to as well.
