Luxury Wedding Videos Reviews - DVP and Evolution Video by Jonathan
Client Reviews
Jonathan and Evolution video did a remarkable job filming our wedding! My husband and I were not sure at first if we needed a photographer AND a videographer but after meeting with Jonathan and seeing his work we realized we wanted the most special day of our lives captured on camera. Jonathan was easy to work with, reliable, and very professional. He always responded to my emails in a prompt manner. On the day of our wedding he was right there to capture every moment. He filmed every moment and was not in the way at all. My husband and I recenty received our DVDs and we had such a great time reliving our wedding all over again! We are SO HAPPY that we hired Evoluntion Video to film our wedding because now we will have our wedding forever on tape to look at and show our kids someday. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jonathan and Evolution Video!

Jonathan has this service perfected! There was so much worry that our vendors and/or service providers would drop the ball on our special day. The expenses are crushing and hard to justify at times but when it was all said and done, all we could hope for was that our day (and what was captured) made it all worth it. Between the seamless editing and priceless moments captured, the video is the most important thing we have left to show for our wedding day. Jonathan captured so many things that happened with our family and friends (that we were unaware of) that we were able to see the wedding all over again (in a new light).
I cannot say enough for how over-joyed we both are to have this media to remember such an important day. Thank you Jonathan and Evolution Video!

I HIGHLY recommend Evolution Video to ALL you brides out there!! From the moment my husband and I met with Jonathan when we first got engaged, we LOVED his work! We “interviewed” many different videographers but in the end, came back to Jonathan! He is very friendly, honest, professional, and not to mention TALENTED! When we watched our wedding video we felt like we were right back at our wedding. It was so great to see small moments that we might have missed that day due to all the excitement! He did a great job on the wedding day..very punctual and not “in the way”. He was very prompt at replying to ALL my emails which meant a lot to me because there are a lot of vendors out there who will take days to get back to you. Again, thanks Jonathan for all your hard work and for making our wedding video absolutely amazing And to all you brides—PLEASE check him out! (He will work with you on EVERYTHING!!)

Emily and I cannot say enough great things about Jonathan’s work. He has a knack for staying out of the way, seeming virtually invisible, yet always being at the right place at the right time. He filmed both nights for us on our wedding weekend, and he just did a BEAUTIFUL job. He captured all the most important moments, and the quality of the video looks as if it were done by a production team of 20. And he’s also a great guy! We just felt very lucky to have had him on our team!
All the best - Emily and Devereaux - June 2009

Ladies and Gents - if you want the best day of your life captured by the best in the business…look no further than Evolution Video! Jonathan and his staff provide exceptional service in a competitive industry filled with so many options. Jonathan’s level of professionalism and follow-up during all phases of the process was outstanding. On our ‘big day’ he was easy-going and accommodating. When we received our video, we were like children on Christmas morning…so excited to open our gift. Immediately after I pushed the ‘play’ button we were right back to our wedding day…captivated by all of the details Jonathan captured. The quality of the video was amazing (the HD rocks!), and the music/scene editing was brilliant. There’s no doubt that you will enjoy and treasure your wedding video as much as we have!

We used Evolution Video as the videographer for our wedding in September 2008 and could not have been happier with the result! Jonathan at Evolution was a joy to work with and very accommodating during the months leading up to the wedding. He was always responsive and answered all of my questions! He was on time to the wedding and very professional…I definitely didn’t have to worry about that part of my day as he had everything under control. We were so happy with the video that he put together. He really tailors the video to the couple…using music that we chose and was willing to make any changes we recommended after we saw the video. If we could change one thing about our wedding weekend, we would have hired Evolution Video to cover our rehearsal dinner too (there were so many special moments that I know he would have captured perfectly)! Our wedding video is something that we will watch every year on our Anniversary! I would highly recommend Evolution Video to anyone getting married! We were so pleased with Evolution’s service and prices…it was definitely money well spent.

Although we got a videographer pretty much only because my husband’s grandmother could not attend our wedding, I have watched our video so many times it is a running joke. I LOVE it! I can be a bit of a perfectionist, and he was always awesome in his response time, service, thoroughness, professionalism, and friendly nature. I adored his sense of balance between artistic integrity and ability and his coverage of every bit of our wedding in a perfect way. He caught everything, and in such a way that it represented us, our family, our friends, and our love. It was incredible to be able to see our ceremony in such detail because it was such a blur on that day. It’s so special! Also, I hardly ever realized he was there. His presence was everywhere, as the video shows, but I don’t remember noticing him there hardly at all! It was perfect. My brother and sister-in-law always say that not getting a videographer was their one regret from their wedding. I believe it would have been ours too! I am so thankful for our wedding video and for whom we chose to do it. Jonathan is amazing, and we would recommend him to everyone!

Hi Jonathan, Sorry for the delay, but I just wanted to tell you how much we LOVE the video! We watched the rehearsal dinner video from start to finish on Monday night. And then last night we watched the highlights on the wedding video. And tonight we’re going try and watch more from the wedding video. You did SUCH an amazing job. The transitions were wonderful (and not cheesy at all!), the special effects you did were so cool yet classic, oh I just love it all. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Please feel free to use me as a reference for any future brides, I promise to give a glowing recommendation!!!

Hi Jonathan, Sorry it has taken me so long to write and say THANK YOU for the wonderful job you did on our wedding video. We have now had a chance to share it with all of our immediate family members and everyone has just loved it! We especially love the picture of Lynwood turning up the champagne bottle w/dad looking on that you used as the still frame for the 2nd video. Hilarious! We’d love a copy of that picture if it is accessible! Please feel free to use us as a reference in the future. We were very pleased with your planning & organization leading up to & on the day of the wedding and we REALLY appreciate your flexibility in just going along with the show & hopping in the trolley with us for photos! And of course the end product is just wonderful and will be a treasure we have forever! Thanks for being a part of our celebration!

Hi Jonathan, We absolutely love it!!!!! We haven’t finished watching all of the reception part yet, but it is wonderful. It is so nice to have it all on video, much better than just having pictures. We will definitely be recommending you to some of our friends getting married at the end of the year. Thanks for everything!

Hi Jonathan, Just wanted to thank you for the awesome job you did on the video for Kara and Toby’s wedding. I loved it and I know that Kara did too. After seeing it and being reminded of so many of the little details, I am sooooo glad we spent the $$ to have that done. It’s something we will all have to keep for years and remember that special day. Thank you for making that possible. If you ever need a recommendation, please do not hesitate to give my name. Good luck to you in your endeavors, and thank you again for such a great job!!!!

Hi DeeAnn I highly, highly recommend Jonathan and Colleen. They provided a top-notch product and were great to work with. I got a great value for my money. Some key things that set them apart: -*EXTREMELY* responsive on email/phone- I felt that I could trust and rely on Jonathan because he consistently kept his word. They made me fell like I was a priority to them, even though I know they have a lot of different customers. - Went the “extra mile” for us. For example, Jonathan attended our wedding rehearsal just to map out the best shots for the ceremony. None of our other vendors did so, including the caterer. - Willingness to collaborate with me. Jonathan listened carefully to my requests and did his best to accommodate them. - No “hard selling” tactics. They have a service to sell and offer it in a few price points. Whether I chose the most or the least expense, I felt I would get their best effort. - Finally, a superior product that is professionally shot and edited and reflects our tastes/preferences. The video is something that my family will treasure for many years. Over all, I ranked Jonathan as one of my top two wedding vendors out of all our vendors.

Hey, Jonathan! I watched the wedding video Saturday and LOVED it! It’s so perfect! You videoed things and people Nick and I never even saw! It is wonderful! I didn’t find anything that needed to be changed, so please send the other videos. Thanks so much again for such a wonderful memento from our big day.

Hi Chris I have nothing but the highest praise for Jonathan and Colleen at Evolution Video. My husband and I were initially against hiring a videographer. We were concerned about them being obtrusive and tacky. But, then we started thinking about all the people who we would love to capture on video and we began our search for the right videographer. My photographer, Kristen Alexander, referred me to Evolution Video. As soon as I spoke with Jonathan on the phone, I felt at ease. He reassured me that they have a very unobtrusive style and yet still are able to capture the essence of the day. On the wedding day, Colleen and Jonathan introduced themselves and then I barely knew they were there the rest of the day. But watching my video, I am amazed at how well they captured everything. We have watched our video several times and each time I love it more and more. They are not just videographers; they are artists. The editing work is incredible. If you choose them, I highly recommend that you go for a package that features the “HIGHLIGHTS”. It sis 20 minute summary of the days events set to music of your choice. It is so sweet and the perfect thing to show family and friends. Also Jonathan had our video to us less than a month after the wedding- very fast turn-around, which was very nice. Overall, I highly recommend them. They are super nice people and super talented.

Dear Jonathan and Colleen Thank you so much for all of the hard work you put into creating our wedding video. The video is absolutely perfect. We have watched it over and over. We love being able to relive the event, see things we missed that day and watch our guests having such a good time. The highlight reel is great as is the photomontage of our baby pictures. Because of you we will always have wonderful memories of our wedding day. Thank you so much for everything.

Dear Jonathan and Colleen We have just spent a wonderful weekend looking at your video of Emily and Jeremy’s wedding! It was superb! I guess the best compliment that I can come up with is that it transported us back to that special day and we were able to relive it all. You truly captured those things that have great meaning to our family: the church building and stained glass windows, all the wedding props that Emily spent endless hours preparing, the natural beauty of the day itself in all its glory, the charm of the Whitlock Inn, but most especially Emily and Jeremy surrounded by family and friends and all the ranges of emotion that their wedding evoked. I was impressed too at how equally you portrayed both sides of the families. We will so appreciate the expertise and creativity of your filming and editing.

Dear Jonathan and Colleen We cannot thank you enough for all that you two did to capture our wedding with such professionalism and creativity! Post-wedding, that is now my biggest piece of advise to all brides preparing to get married, Hire Evolution Video to film your wedding!!! When it is all said and done, the pictures and video are all you have, other than your memories, which do fade over time. It was a true joy and pleasure to work with you and Colleen and our heartfelt gratitude extends for your hard work and attention to detail! Our video exceeded every expectation we had and now we will be able to relive our most special day for years to come!

Hi Ashley Yes, Jonathan and Colleen were the videographers at our wedding this past October. I am glad to see that he decided to use my husband, Peter and I as a referral. We are both EXTREMELY satisfied with their work. We fell in love with them and their work at our first consultation. They were very thorough and very interested in knowing all about our event and I can honestly say that we made two new friends. They always met their deadlines and were very prompt and helpful during the entire process. All of our guests love them and said that they were super cool and very friendly. They were raving about our videographers after the wedding and even more after seeing our video. Jonathan was very involved the day of the wedding and their footage was amazing. They are both very professional and great at what they do; we both look forward to working with them again.
