Well Spun Weddings

My Wedding was only two weeks ago, so I haven't been able to see the final video... but I felt the need to write a review based on my experience so far. Everyone at Well Spun that I dealt with in the planning process was very helpful. They are pretty responsive via email, but are a little slower to returning your phone calls if your Wedding is not within the month. My Videographer, Alyssa, was very nice and helpful and she met all my wants for that day. You fill out a very detailed form about a month prior to the Wedding which really pinpoints the bride's wants, needs & wishes. We picked the HD, 3-song edit... which also includes the raw video of the reception which I thought was a nice perk. I am very excited to see the final outcome!

We haven't seen the results but they have been very good to work with throughout the pre and post wedding process. I'm thrilled and based on their website, trust them.

Pleased with our final product-our wedding video but wished we would have had time to speak with the videographer before hand. We only learned of who the videographer was a week before the wedding (despite my continued contact with Well Spun) and we were discouraged from contacting him ourselves before the wedding. With that said, he was great, but it would have been very beneficial to have at least a quick conversation with him beforehand.

We had a truly magical day and we are so grateful that we chose Well Spun to capture our day. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

We had a wonderful experience!

You get what you pay for - these guys are cheaper than real professionals for a reason. They provide very cheap quality videos and they are real jerks to work with AFTER your wedding. Before the wedding, they're great! But afterward, they were truly horrific to work with. After waiting 3 long months for our wedding video, I finally contacted them to see what was up. They claimed they had never received my forms I submitted the day I got back from our honeymoon and when I sent an email right after to confirm, they pretended not to read that PART of the email (later saying, Oh wow I didn't see this when you sent it). The owner refused to call me back, after I emailed, called and emailed again asking (begging!) him to call me back. He cowered behind his computer insulting me and claiming it was my fault saying I never submitted anything. Never once did he apologize - I have the emails saved (since he refuses to communicate by telephone - red flag right there) and would be more than happy to forward them along to anyone interested. So then FINALLY we got our video and it's just crap. I feel so duped and robbed. I paid for the option that would make your HD video look vintage, like Super 8mm film and it's a JOKE. Literally it's a fuzzy black border around the edge. That's it. And the rest of the film is so poorly edited - the majority of the film is shots of nothing; just people walking around or like 2 whole minutes of just decorations and trees. It's so boring, my eyes glazed over MY OWN WEDDING VIDEO. It's a good thing I paid for a really awesome photographer so I have great photos - and my advice to other brides out there is to pay the extra bucks for real talent. Not these guys - I would have forgotten about all the bad stuff if they delivered a stellar product. But the video is terrible. And even though they're cheaper than the really talented videographers out there, it's still thousands of dollars. What a waste of money and stress.

I LOVE this company. Their work is beautiful. Each email was promptly answered and their online forms were simple and convenient to complete. I can't wait to get our DVDs in the mail!

Working with Well Spun Weddings was such a wonderful decision!
I planned my wedding from Australia and they certainly made us feel like we were in good hands and we were!
Jon & his team were extremely professional and helpful and responded very quickly to all my queries.
They captured every moment and the footage speaks for itself. There's no 'fluff'. Every time we play our wedding back it's as though we're there again.
The footage captured is so raw and so beautiful. We love showing off our dvd.
It was all such an easy and wonderful experience working with Well Spun.
I'd book them again in a heartbeat!

Well Spun was professional, prompt, and all around lovely. We got exactly the service we expected and have a beautiful video. Highly recommended. Thanks!

Where do I begin? Well spun did an incredible job with our wedding film. The way they capture the details of the day and the special moments you miss is unmatched. Im am so glad we made the decision to go with Well spun for videography. You can see that John and his staff love what they do and our wedding film shows it off. Even the post process has been a pleasure. They have been very patient in making sure we have the final product we asked for. We are completely in love with our film. They did a beautiful job and Im incredibly happy with Well Spun's service and work :)

We booked very last minute - about a month before our wedding. Well Spun made it really easy to book with such short notice, but I didn't receive much information about how the process worked. All the information I received was from the online forms I had to fill out a couple weeks before the wedding. Because it was so close our date and had so much other stuff on my plate I didn't contact them for more information, but it seems if I had they would have been helpful. The shooters we had were a little strange, but I barely saw them. My DH did say that they were a little annoying at points, but who's really used to a camera following them?! I did receive a lot of comments from guests that they couldn't tell if they were taking a photo or filming because the shooter was using a regular camera - not a video camera. I'm not sure what that means for our footage. Hopefully our guests don't look awkward :) I cannot comment on the quality of our film because it has not been editted yet. I will review again after I receive it.

We worked with Jon (owner and creative director) and Kelly (our videographer) from Well Spun to capture our October wedding in Philadelphia. We found the services to be extremely professional and high-quality, resulting in a beautiful (and not at all cheesy) wedding video.

We were concerned about the videographer potentially getting in the way with the wedding, and caught in photos by accident. We were pleasantly surprised that we basically forgot Kelly was there, filming the whole day! There are sweet, unexpected moments captured on video, lots of attention to the detail that made our wedding day unique, and the whole feel of the event was very well represented in the finished product.

We'd recommend them to anyone!

I am absolutely furious and heart broken and BEYOND embarrassed with my wedding video. As a wedding professional myself I sought out the best of the best as my own wedding vendors for my January wedding. I cannot tell you how utterly disappointed I am in the quality of work in which i received. At first I thought everything was going well, we contracted them very easliy, and the videographer was on time and seemed to be everywhere on my wedding day. Then a few months after the wedidng i received the first edit which was ridiculous. Half our wedding was missing from it! Then after weeks of emails, and receiving no reply, I finally got an email back saying they found the rest of the footage. A few more weeks later and 3 more edits, we finally had an 8 minute video. The video itself is nice, but i didnt pay all that money for an 8 minute video! I received my "unedited footage", and it seriously brought me to tears, and NOT THE HAPPY KIND! It literally looks like a child was running around with a flip camera filming my wedding. Its absolutely horrible, and when I complained about it, I was told that is the unedited version. I know videographers and showed them this footage and they felt absolutely horrible for me, they couldnt believe that A PROFESSIONAL took that video. I am literally in shock over this entire situation. Jonnot only stated that he wont refund my money knowing how unhappy i am, he asked for MORE money to further edit the film so that I hopefully i would be more satisfied. YEA RIGHT! I am now in the process of taking them to court, but this all will never fix the fact that I dont have a professional video of the most important day of my life. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND DO NOT HIRE WELLSPUN. You will be so disapointed, there a plenty of others out there to choose from! PLEASE PICK A PROFESSIONAL- I would be HAPPY to share the horrible footage with anyone who would like to see what I am talking about!--- THE "UNEDITED" DISASTER IS MY COMPLAINT-- NOT THE 8 MINUTE FILM--

Like a few other past brides, I am coming back to edit my original review after working everything out (8 months after our wedding). I was originally unhappy with our trailer and noted some communication difficulties with the company, but was impressed when Jon (the owner) personally responded to my complaint letter within an hour. Though it took us some time to hash things out, my husband and I are now happy with our wedding package and appreciate the time that Jon took to make sure that we were happy with the product.

We were so happy and fortunate to have come across such a professional, creative, and affordable videographer. Well Spun Weddings from the get go was very helpful in every aspect of getting what we wanted for videotaping our wedding. We had the chance request edits to our video when it was first sent to us. And they did a more than perfect job meeting our requests. We are extremely happy with our final products. We are definitely glad we made the choice to have a videographer for our wedding, and even more so that Well Spun Weddings was there for it.

If you are looking for a unique look for your wedding video, go with Well Spun Wedding Films! I had 'modern vintage' wedding, so their style of editing was absolutely perfect. Jon and his team have been responsive since day one, and they really listen to what you are looking for to respresent your special day. The packages they offer are definitly worth it, choose Well spun Weddings for your videographer!!

Jon from Well Spun Wedding was everything that I imagined him to be. In fact, Jon kept me extremely calm throughout the wedding. The well spun team overall is very professional, and I would recommend them to anyone.

I highly recommend Wellspun for your wedding video. My husband and I were so happy with the result! We have watched it so many times and never get tired of it! I have received so many compliments on my video. I have seen other wedding videos that are boring, long and so not what I wanted. Wellspun was able to capture all the special moments from my wedding day and condense it into a short video that is anything but boring and exactly what I was looking for!!!! Professional, creative, and worth the price.

Well Spun ROCKS! As a video professional, I am very picky when it comes to shooting and editing. Well Spun did a fantastic job from top to bottom and has an extremely professional staff. The final product was amazing and I will continue to recommend them to anyone I know looking for wedding videography. Thank you!!!

Well Spun came highly recommended, and overall the quality of the edited film is great. Jon has been accommodating and willing to work with us on certain concerns that we've had during the editing process.

I'm happy to be writing a good review for this vendor after being pretty alarmed by their lack of responsiveness for the last couple months before my wedding. I called and emailed begging for a response several times and really started to freak out that I was going to have to find another videographer at the last minute. STRESS!

In the end, I did get an apologetic response from the owner, explaining that a few of them had been on vacation at the same time. (Why no out of office replies, I'm not sure.) Anyways, the work they did was beautiful, and they captured what we asked for in an organized fashion. One thing I also liked is the option to simply get the raw footage since my husband is a video editor and wants to do it himself. We got the external hard drive containing our footage almost immediately after the wedding, which was a nice surprise. All in all, after the communications issues, it was a good experience at a great price.

Let me start by saying its been almost 2 years and I'm still fighting to get my wedding video corrected. I am not the type of person to even leave a review, let alone deface a company. However, I am so disappointed by this company that I feel compelled to use my personal time to share my experience with unsuspecting brides. Working with them has been a carousel of frustration and errors. To start, they were late to my wedding. It was at Princeton University...not sure how you can't find a university campus - but ok? So we delayed the wedding as long as possible for the videographer to arrive. Since they were late my husband was never mic'd so we don't have our vows recorded. There was no apology from the company for being late or disrupting the wedding. As far as the quality of the DVD, lets just say that fast forward 2 years and I still don't have a copy that I can show my family. It took countless emails to chase them to send the footage; and even longer to respond to simple requests. After all this aggrevation, when we realize we needed just one additional disc, they proceeded to charge us for the extra $15! Really!? As you know, during the wedding planning process you work with several vendors: photographer, catering, etc. I have positive things to say about each of them, but NOT Well Spun Weddings. I am truly disappointed in my decision to work with them and wouldn't be able to advise their service to others in good conscious.

I work as a television producer for one of the major networks. I hired Well Spun Wedding Films because they have some of the best looking camera work I've seen. I work with a lot of talented videographers and I know that Jon and his team are just as good if not better than some of the camermen I use for primetime television. There is a great artistry to their work. I am so happy I hired Well Spun Wedding Films to film my wedding.

I LOVE my wedding video. My husband and I watch the video often and it brings back such great memories of our wedding day. Photos are great to look at but a video can capture a lot of things that you miss on your wedding day. Wellspun did an amazing job at capturing the beauty and fun of my wedding! Highly recommend them!!!!

I am editing my original review based on my conversations with Well Spun.

I've been assured that the delays I was experiencing waiting for my completed video were not typical and that a plan will be put into place to make sure that a domino effect does not affect other brides going forward. Jon was very responsive to my concerns, and even overnighted my video so that visiting family coming into town would be able to watch it with us. That personal touch meant so very much to my husband and I. Since that was the ONLY thing bringing down my review score, I've re-evaluated my review.

If you choose Well Spun you can be assured that your special day will be recorded and documented to enjoy for years to come. The video turned out awesome, and I love the old time feel.

I cannot heap enough praise on Wellspun Weddings and Jon Gangwer! We originally weren't even planning on having a wedding videographer but we decided to go with Wellspun after seeing the videos on its website. Boy are we glad we did! Wellspun was a JOY to have at our wedding - Jon and his staff are lovely and easy to work with.. Not intrusive at all (I know that's a concern for many considering hiring a wedding videographer). On top of which, Jon was very responsive to our many questions before and after our wedding.. He was also very flexible, especially in dealing with our hectic schedule. But perhaps most importantly, we are THRILLED with our wedding video! It is unlike any other video we've seen.. Beautiful, artistic, and moving. Jon managed to capture the essence and emotions of our special day in a breathtaking, captivating way. My husband is most delighted and that's saying a lot - haha! We definitely HIGHLY recommend Wellspun Weddings! You won't regret it! (If you don't hire them, though.. you may regret that decision! It's really fun to watch our wedding video.. very different from still pictures! Especially since we were so caught up that day.. it's fun to relive what everyone else experienced!)

Well Spun Wedding films peformed the videography for my wedding. They were so easy to work with on their online forms. We also requested the 3 song wedding video where they edit your wedding to a short film to 3 songs and they all look amazing. I can't wait to get mine!

Our videographer that day named Zack was very nice, and nearly invisible. He was there but wasn't in the way or obtrusive to the guests.

I am revising my review based on my conversations with Well Spun after I wrote my review. I was frustrated with them based on my experience, but I have been assured that mine was an isolated case.

Our video ended up turning out well. We loved what they did with the music we chose, and though we haven't watched all of the footage yet, it seems like they had good coverage of the day. Ian was our videographer in LA and he was great. He was a nice guy, had a good sense of humor but was also inconspicuous enough that he didn't take attention away from the wedding. Jon, the CEO and editor is nice, he is funny and has a trendy editing aesthetic that a lot of people are responding to.

I had a few problems during the post process. The problems were: a defective "post process" form that cost us an extra month to get the video editing started, the wedding film was delivered past the time frame promised on the form, our HD sent back without the raw footage on it, and it took 2 weeks for them to send us the Free Facebook link. The main factor was lack of communication. But again, I have been told that these were unusual circumstances, and they are restructuring the business side of their operation to avoid these kinds of issues in the future.

The look on their reel is what you will get, so if you like their style, Well Spun will do a great job on your wedding film.

We were so busy before the wedding to give much pointers.Nevertheless, the videographer was able to do a great job.They were AMAZING....everywhere but never in the way....simply amazing. we can think of and remember is the fun and love we shared that day. So we really owe it to BlueSky/David for the fond way we look back on our wedding day. They accomodated everything that we requested and it was simply perfect. My husband can't stop playing the "Glanceback" portion of the video which is amazing that the groom even goes crazy over it!

Well Spun service was very great. I don't what to say but when we got our video of our wedding, the Quality of the video was great, and not to mention it's Blue ray which we wanted it to be blue ray. Now we can cherish our wedding moment in HD. Their service was very good.

Haven't received final video back BUT we had two videographers and they were very nice, very excited. It was great to let them go up to the boys’ while they were getting ready, etc. DH & I are both hams, so we had a little trouble not posing & talking directly to camera. The ballroom got pretty dark, so we told them to bring on camera lights just in case. Even though there seemed to be a spotlight following me on the dance floor, I didn’t care – actually I like that kind of thing. WSW said I should get raw footage in 2-3 weeks and after I send that into editing, final production in 3-4 months. We are getting a 3 song music video + entire wedding with chapters.

I can't say enough about the Well Spun Wedding Films staff. I had my wedding 2 days after Christmas, which is a hectic and busy time, and they were willing to work my wedding. Before the wedding, they answered all questions immediately through both e-mail and by- phone and were extremely helpful. They even helped with the song choices. We by accident sent them a check for $8000 instead of a balanace of $800, and they immediatley called to inform us of our mistake. They were wonderful with customer service! The day of the wedding, oiur videographer was great; he was so nice and professional and made sure he knew exactly what we wanted. We barely knew he was there. He stayed until we wanted him to and made sure he got enough footage. Well Spun Weddings is so unique and creative. All of the other videographers seem to overcharge for just the raw footage. Their videos go way beyond raw footage and really capture the day, the personalities and the emotions. We will treasure our video for many, many years to come.

I have not received my video yet, but have no doubt that it will be utterly stunning. The videographer was right on time and totally inconspicuous, which is exactly what we wanted. They were wonderful and timely throughout the entire planning process; they were often the first vendor to contact us (proactively) when it was time to shore up the next level of details. I can't wait to see my three-song highlight film and to send it to everyone we know.

We don't have our video yet, but so far so good. I've had nothing but great communication and professionalism from everyone I've dealt with at WSW. The videographer was a really nice guy.

Well Spun and staff were great. The was awesome and everything was timely. About 2 months after our wedding we had everything, which is amazing turnaround time. The videographer was very professional and friendly to work with.

Awesome videography... just check out their website!

Awesome price for what they do!

We have not received our video yet but I am very happy we went with Well Spun. Our videographer showed up right on time and was there from the beginning to the end. He was not in the way at all but I know he captured it all! Their style of video is so unique and the price makes it completely worth it!

Well Spun Weddings is actually out of Pennsylvania, but they have a guy in the Boston area. We chose them because they do the 8mm filming. We weren’t really interested in the whole “video-look” and their sample DVD had a very artistic, unusual look we were after. Again, haven’t seen it yet, but the owner, Jon, was very helpful and answered all my questions. We didn’t meet with our camera operator before our day, but we are laid back and didn’t feel we needed to do that. He ended up being great, his name is John as well. I know some of you wouldn’t think of this of not meeting with the actual person beforehand, but their sample work impressed us so much, we didn’t hesitate.

We haven't gotten our video yet, but were thrilled with our videographer Mitch. We are so excited to see our film. The price of WSW cannot be beat, and the style of their films is really different and unique.

The videographer that was sent out for the day was fantastic and we loved the finished product. We would recommend this company to anyone. The video is great if you are looking for something that is not the normal traditional.

Well Spun Weddings is amazing! Their films have a home-made video quality to them that is very endearing and artistic; we absolutely love the work Jon does in editing. Prior to discovering their website we had actually decided on not having a videographer, but then I saw examples of his work and showed my fiance and we had to have them! The way this company works is Jon performs all the editing, and has camera-men across the country who film the event and mail the footage back to Jon; thus although Jon is in PA, you do not have to worry about flying anyone to your event. However, because of this, I strongly believe what you pay for is what you get. If you skimp on how many hours you want the videographer present or on choosing only one camera man rather than two or three, Jon has less footage to work with so your film may or may not be as amazing as you hoped since it depends on the coverage that day. Believe me Well Spun Weddings is definitely worth every penny!

Jon is simply an editing genius. While it took awhile to get our film after the wedding (about four and a half months), it was WELL worth the wait. Basically, what you end up with is a short, edited wedding film set to the song of your choice, and it's made to look like an old 8mm movie. While you also get unedited raw footage of the whole ceremony and ALL key elements of the reception on the DVD (in addition to ALL of the original raw footage), having this short film makes it easy to share your special day with people. It just makes the video interesting and special... this was the only videographer for whom I watched the entire samples (repeatedly, at that!)... it's just done in a way that makes you want to watch it, whether or not you even know the people in it :) PLUS, you have the option of putting this short film on a website, so you can easily send it out to people. Overall, if they're available, I really can't think of any reason why you would go with any other videographer!

Well Spun is incredible! I have recommended them to many clients and have always been happy with their work and their professionalism. This is a great company to be associated with and I always enjoy doing a wedding with them. Their product is top- notch!!
