Video Express Productions

Excellent! Superb customer service and beautiful end product.

I was very last minute deciding on a videographer and this company made it a breeze. Also, Mark was great the day of. He got a lot of great comments from our family and friends and was everywhere! I have not seen the final product yet, but I am very pleased with the services and staff their and would recommend them highly!

We are extremely happy that we chose Video Express Productions for our wedding videography. We interviewed two other vendors and decided to go with Video Express Productions because they were extremely professional and delightful to work with. They took their time to understand our needs and helped us throughout the entire process (before and after the wedding). They have a team of professional videographers and really are the best in the business. They have extensive experience in the business and really know what makes a great wedding video. We highly recommend Video Express Productions to all future brides. They have the best service at the best prices in the market. We were amazed at how well the actual video turned out and how well they captured all the special and important moments of the whole day. Their technical team is also awesome to work with! We are super delighted that we chose them and forever thankful for what they did for us. If you're looking for the best service and highest product quality at the most competitive prices, then you must choose Video Express Productions - you'll be glad that you did at the end.

I can't say enough good things about our videographer and Julie, owner and who we initially met with. We booked her the same day. They were the most economical of 3 videographers I interviewed. We got the winter special since I got married in January and was such a bargain, even with adding on services, they were still cheaper than others. Cheap doesn't mean poor quality at all. The quality of my video is amazing, I highly recommend getting a blu-ray if you can, the color and clarity is great.

Wow! We just got the video from our Dec. 11 wedding. It's magnificent. I especially loved the way it captured my mother's joy, to say nothing of my "husband's." And just a not on flexibility, we had to change our date twice; Julie never balked. Fabulous. Gerda

Our experience with Video Express Productions was great! We love our wedding video ~ the quality of the video presentation and professionalism of the staff were awesome. I believe any wedding or special event will be enhanced from using Video Express.

My wife and I looked at several videographers in the D.C. Metro area and Video Express definitely was the best decision. Although their pricing is a little higher than other videographers you definitely get what you pay for.

Not only was all the scheduling and contract stuff a breeze but they threw in extras such as all the raw footage of our big day on a hard drive which they gave to us at no extra cost.

They were one of the few videographers that we found that creates their videos in DVD as well as Blu-Ray format. Since my wife and I have a Blu-Ray player at home it was a no-brainer.

Our wedding was a complicated one since the actual ceremony was from 2-3 and our reception wasn't until later on that night. Therefore Video Express was required to hang low for several hours. They were willing to work with us and not charge us for the hours inbetween the ceremony and the reception.

Julie and Mark (who run Video Express) were extremely nice, very flexible, easy going, but very professional people. The end product was amazing and my wife and I couldn't be happier with our experience with them. I would definitely recommend Video Express to any future bride and grooms out there who are looking for an amazing experience and equally amazing video of their big day!!

I was really impressed with Video Express. My parents wanted a videographer and the Video Express team was able to fit my needs, even on very short notice (2 weeks before my wedding!) They are very helpful and are willing to answer your questions and give you time to think about what you want. They were very respectful of the limitations in videography according to my church's policies. Overall they did a phenomenal job in putting together our video and capturing the moments we would have missed with only a photographer. Thanks so much, Video Express!

Thank you Mark and Julie for the video for our Wish Upon a Wedding event.

We couldn't have been happier with Video Express. Julie was very responsive and was very knowledgable. Mark was our videographer and he did a fantastic job. We were very lucky to receive our video very quickly and the DVD is amazing!!! This is definetely worth the money and something we will cherish forever.

I met the photographers and at the wedding expo and won an extra 50 photos on my slideshow. They were amazing and so attentive. we went to visit with Sheryl and she showed us everything! Called us to make sure we were ready, sent hand written cards, etc. This group of people knows how to take care of their clients and we can't wait to see our dvd and bring back all the fun memories of the day!

We're happy with the service and the price was good.

Mark and Julie at Video Express Productions were fabulous! They promptly responded to e-mails and quickly ironed out details of our contract. Mark arrived to our wedding early and did an incredible job with recording our ceremony. I am SO thankful we decided to use a videographer and very pleased with our experience at Video Express!

I was very, very pleased with Video Express. The Videographer was extremely professional and pleasant during the entire reception and wedding. He edited out parts of the wedding and reception that I wished had not happened without being told to do so. The slow motion clip was wonderful!
When I emailed it to my friends who were not able to attend the wedding, they were so excited and some said they cried just looking at he clip. The opening of the video is just like you are looking at a movie at the theatre. They were by far the best choice for this affair. I would highly reccommend this company without reservation.

We love our wedding video! It has so many memories that you can't capture in a picture, like family and friends talking and dancing-these memories are priceless. One of the big reasons we decided on a video was because friends of ours that had been married many years said it is the one thing that they always come back to look at over and over (not to mention how meaningful it is to see a loved one walking and talking). This was so important for us, because we lost a loved one a few months after the wedding. I highly recommend a wedding video and Video Express was great to work with. I do recommend telling them who you want them to interview, especially your parents and grandparents.

Video Express was wonderful to work with. My husband was very hesitant to hire a videographer because he was concerned with how intrusive they can be. Video Express worked with us to make sure that they did exactly what we wanted and that my husband would be comfortable. They were so unobtrusive that when I watched the video there were some things they captured that I didn't even know they were there for. They also listed to us about how much editing we wanted. We requested some editing, but not much and what we received was a product that contained everything we wanted. They did a wonderful job of meeting our needs and working with us to put a package together. And, most importantly, the final product we received was wonderful. I look forward to watching it many more times.

We enjoyed working with Video Express . After my husband and I left the first meeting we knew we were using their services. They were very professional and cared about what we were looking for that day, What special moments we really wanted to capture. When I received my wedding video I was so happy with the work done. Every moment was captured. Things we didn't get to see the day of the wedding because it can get kind of busy :-) was on the video. My family has seen the video and they are very impressed with the quality. I would highly recommend Video Express .

A Happy Bride

Video Express was wonderful to work with. They take the time to find out what you want. The DVD packages are flexible and you are able to create your own to ensure you are getting the exact package you want. We worked with a few different people and our day of videographer was wonderful. We was very unobtrusive and was able to capture a sense of the entire night. I am so happy I got a DVD because the night flew by that it helped me relive my wedding.

Happy with my wedding video...loved their work they did an excellent job, I would recommend them.

great service.

Video Express was the first videographer we met with and the only videographer we met with. We were so impressed by them we didn't want to look any further. It was the right choice. They did such an incredible job. I completely forgot they were there. They got everything we wanted. We have already watched it several times and so have our parents. They were amazing to work with. There is no reason to even talk to anyone else. They are worth every penny and then some.

Flexible with price and totally unobtrusive. Have not yet seen the final result, will update review when I get the video.

Videographer: Video Express Productions
I found VEP straight out of the Washingtonian Wedding Guide. I called and spoke with Mark and Julie Bargeski, the owners, and I was immediately impressed and hired them on the spot. While they have a lot of videographers who work for them, I was lucky enough to have Mark shoot my wedding. We received the video two weeks after our wedding and i was BLOWN AWAY! My family was reluctant to shoot a video but my husband and I were so convinced that we ended up paying for it ourselves. Well, we were right. The video is beautiful. Mark was completely unobtrusive and was able to capture the entire wedding so we will be able to show it to our children! The montages he made were beautifully cut and as a television producer working in Hollywood, I am very critical!

They were helpful, responsive, and helped me gear the package to fit my needs and budget. I would completely recommend them to anyone who wants a first class video of their wedding that they will cherish for years to come. They really were amazing!

This company was easy to work with, professional, and the final product turned out great! I love watching all the moments of my wedding that I wasn't able to see in person on that day. Mark was able to capture a lot of the details and special moments that I missed! I love watching this video and know that we will continue to love watching it in the years to come and showing it to future generations!

VideoExpress did a great job for our daughter's wedding. Highly professional, easy to work with, reasonable costs, and technically superb. Highly recommended for wedding videos.

Video Express did a wonderful job at capturing our wedding back in October. The quality was great! We loved the techniques that they used, and the video montage was amazing. I highly recommend using them!

They were great. The light they use on the camera is a little bright during the reception but I'm glad to have it all on film and visible too.

We were very happy with our video from Video Express Pro. We enjoyed working with the staff, who were very responsive and helpful. We would have liked to have been able to choose the videographer who recorded our special day, but we were happy with the product and person who filmed for us. Great value and very prompt completion of our film.

As others have stated, I saw Video Express recommended by the Washingtonian and met them at the Bethesda Bridal Show, where they offered a discount. They were the best priced videographers in the area we could find, but they were still expensive. Yes, the business is run out of Julie's apartment, which struck me as a little odd too. The videographer was friendly, enthusiastic, prompt, and unobtrusive. He even gave us an extra stationary camera at the ceremony for free since my crazy aunt was in the way trying to make her own video! The video turned out great, the picture and sound were perfect and all of the important moments were there. One thing I didn't like is that our input wasn't allowed in the editing process. I know this would take longer and probably drive them crazy, but there were some parts of the video where the background music we provided didn't flow just right or they cut me off mid-sentence. I also thought it was weird that the credits roll before the slow-motion summary, my parents turned off the video and missed this feature because they thought it was over. This is a small detail, but their DVD cases are straight out of the '80's. We didn't really have much involvement with the Video Express staff, but their videographer showed up and worked hard and they turned around a great product at a fair market price, so I would definitely recommend them.

Video Express was great! I met them at a Bridal showcase. We went for an appointment, and got to see actual videos done in the past. Tom was such a fun and humorous videographer! Total recommend to others!

My wife and I barely knew the videographer was there... which for a videographer, is a good thing. Very easy and friendly to work with, had an online "short" up very quickly which came out very well, had the DVD's available exactly when promised, they provided 3 copies for us. Full DVD also came out well done.

THE VIDEO IS AWESOME! THERE WERE A FEW BLURRINESS IN SOME SPOTS..OTHER THAN THAT IT WAS JUST VERY WELL EDITED AND BEAUTIFULLY DONE. THE VIDEOGRAPHER WASN'T IN ANYONE'S WAY AND DID WHAT THE BEST HE COULD TO GET AROUND THE OTHER GUESTS WITH THEIR CAMERAS.

There were several errors in spelling in the final video, but as soon as we told them about the errors, they fixed them.

Video express did a great job filming my wedding without being in the way. As a matter of fact, we didn't even notice the camera man was there half the time until we saw the actual video. He got everything on tape and the editing that they do is amazing!!! Unfortunately, there was a part of our first dance that got recorded but something was wrong with the recording so they had to cut it out but they were great about making sure we got a few extra things free of charge. We weren't upset about the missing part because we understand that sometimes equipment can malfunction but they still added some extras to the video. They have great customer service skills.

The video of our daughter' wedding capture not only the image but the joy of the day. Quality product and this group was very professional. My only suggestion / concern was the amount of time to get the video. The wedding was in October and we got the video in January. This was a very long time and we missed the opportunity for family gifts. Other than this one area, my family and I highly recommend Video Express.

I happen to be an amateur video editor and I do some video work for my job. So in our case, we decided to save money and hire someone who would just shoot tons of footage and let us do the editing. Video Express was very good for those purposes. They just shot pretty much the entire thing from start till finished -- we got five hours of footage at the end of it all. And there was enough good stuff in there for us to put together quite a nice wedding video for ourselves using iMovie and iDVD.

So I can't vouch for their editing skills, but if you want raw footage like we did, they're a good choice and reasonably priced. (There was an even more reasonably priced videographer we came across, but he was really sketchy. Video Express was professional and solid. They know what they're doing.)

Video Express is definitely expensive, but it's a must have if you want to go back and relive your special day. The wedding day goes by so quickly, I barely remember anything. But, thanks to our Videographer, I was able to sit down and relive everything and even see the things that I missed. We were able to see how much fun our guests were having, which was nice. You're being pulled in so many different directions on your wedding day, it's nice to be able to actually see the things you didn't see that day. Our video is beautiful! I absolutely love it. I would recommend Video Express.

We are so happy to have purchased a video and two copies for our parents and in-laws. We watch this video at least once a month since married on May 24, 2008 and it always brings a tear. Thank you for creating this speical souvineer of our wedding day. We will cherish is always.

The finished product and editing is great, but you'll pay through the nose for it. They're not so flexible, and they run their business from their apartment.

Strong customer service. But the final video production was average, we were not that impressed. If you are budget conscious probably a good choice but if you can spend a little more, go with another company. Also, nitpicked on price, wanted to charge a 20$ fee just to send my video.

Video Express is run out of Silver Spring. Julie is the owner there and she was very nice and helpful. She even helped me convince my FI to hire a videographer (he was very opposed to the idea originally). They did Chris Rock?s wedding, which is kinda cool. Also recommended in the Washingtonian. I would say they are about middle of the road in pricing.

At the wedding, the videographer was very nice. The light on the camera was a bit annoying, but with candlelight, I suppose it was unavoidable. Also, our camera man wasn?t great at ?pulling? information out of me, so in the pre-ceremony interview, I said nothing poignant, as I would of if I had a minute to think, or he had asked the right questions.

When I received the video I was EXTREMELY unhappy with the results. The camera is shaky, the shots regularly zoom in on trees, and all in all it is very unprofessional. Certainly not worth the $1600 that we paid

Their final work product was very nice, but it took a lot of effort to get there. Once the contract was signed, the service went down hill. In the editing process, they simply did not follow many of the requests that were clearly communicated in writing and agreed to in advance (selection of music, options, etc). After numerous emails and some lengthy conversations (waste of my time), they finally made good on their commitment. The final product was really nice, but the "journey" with them was unpleasant.

Our video is truly horrendous and not worth the good money we paid for it. Not even close. DO NOT hire Video Express Pro for your big day.

It took more than four months to even see our footage, and when we got the video back LARGE CHUNKS OF THE CEREMONY (which we painstakingly wrote ourselves) HAD BEEN EDITED OUT!!! The remaining footage is full of abrupt cutaways, awkward music changes and unflattering shots of people dancing. Of the interviews with friends and family members, only those on my side were included; my husband's guests were entirely left out.

It's a good thing we paid extra for a hard drive containing all the raw footage of our wedding day, because as my husband said while we were still watching it, our best bet is probably just to remake the whole thing from scratch ourselves.

Horrible, horrible, horrible work. Seriously. Run!

ETA: After seeing this review, Mark at Video Express called us and asked how/whether fixing the many problems with our video would be possible. We gave him clear, detailed list of problems/oversights, but had little hope anything would actually be fixed, which was fortunate, because the revised DVDs were given to us along with a type written letter explaining that several things we complained about were not or could not be fixed because of the onsite videographer's failure to get appropriate, usable footage on the actual wedding day or because of Mark's own failure to pay any attention to what we told him.

Mark also asked us, not so subtly, to update this review after watching the revised version. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have bothered to downgrade their score for professionalism, although they completely deserve it.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH VIDEO EXPRESS PRO. YOU WILL REGRET IT.

We both highly recommend Video Express! We have worked with them through the years and seen their beautiful finished product! Most recently Joyce worked with Mark at the 2012 Wedding In A Week, and as always it was a wonderful experience!

After working at leas 10 years with Video Express and at least 200 jobs, I would say they are beyond a great video company but great friends to work with. When we work together it is like a dance and is seamless. The years of being a professional video company in this business shows all of the time.
A sure bet.

The Video Express team is very professional and does great work ... a "can't miss" pick for your event!

We love having Mark from Video Express Productions video the weddings at The Comus Inn. He is so easy to work with and a consummate professional. We've received many compliments from our brides that hiring Video Express was one of the best decisions they made. They do a fabulous job, so check them out!

Very laid back and unobtrusive videographers. Very affordable and professional.

Anyone can video your wedding but not everyone combines good sound, close-ups, creative editing and spectacular sound to give you a spectacular video that will be viewed repeatedly for a lifetime.

I've worked with MANY video people over the years, and my favorite is Video Express Productions. They always work with me (as I do with them) to make sure we both get the best shots. Their final product is the best I've seen. I highly recommend this talented group of professionals!!!!

Video Express Production is a excellent company to use. They are great with providing excellent customer service to client. Top choice for any of my clients...Julie is truly a jewel!!
