Silver Screen Events

UPDATE! PLEASE READ! VERY IMPORTANT IF YOU PLAN ON WORKING WITH THIS COMPANY!!!
After emailing the owner and requesting my photos early due to the loss of my father-​in-​law, the owner, Dave, failed to respond to my emails. Because of his failure to respond to my emails, I contacted the Better Business Bureau. I explained to them the situation, and his response to the BBB was that he felt like I was just mad at him for «not giving in to my bridal demands.» He told the BBB that he makes all of his money «from people buying their photos online, and so that’s why they post them online for 120 days.» He then proceeded to threaten legal action against me for the «slander» that I posted on this very website, because he did not like my negative review against his company! Since Dave threatened legal action, I took the first step and had my lawyer contact him, to which he told my lawyer that «the only reason he refused to release my photos is because I’m being a bitch and refused to take down my Unilocal review.» He never even asked me to take my Unilocal review down, and even still, refused to release my photos to me early, despite the fact that they are the last photos we have of my father-​in-​law. After discussing this issue with my lawyer, husband, and various other people, we are all confused as to why Dave would risk the reputation of his «small business» for one simple request. I was only one bride, with a simple request, that he refused to honor just because of his own stubbornness. To this day, I still have not received my photos, nor have I heard from Dave.

Not happy. My daughter used them for her wedding in October. My mom ordered some pictures, the faces were washed out and there were some splotches on one of the pictures that looks like they were digitally made. They had two photographers, the one that photographed the groom and groomsmen did a good job but disliked the one for the bride and bridesmaids. He didn’t allow fun and goofy pictures and didn’t take many traditional pictures. After viewing the pictures online we noticed a lot of missing people, not sure if they went around to all the tables. My daughter asked for the disk of pictures as there was a death in the family and these were the last pictures taken and they wanted to charge her to get her own pictures. We will have waited 4 months to get the disk of the picture but not sure it will be worth the wait.
Very disappointed with the company. Wouldn’t recommend.

I am so glad that we used Silver Screen Events for most of the major stuff for our wedding.
We got married in December and just got our pictures & video back and we could not be
happier! We booked their ultimate package and it included 2– photographers, 2 video people,
photo booth & dj. Dan was our main shooter and he was like another Dad to me. He took
his time and went above and beyond and trust me I know I was pretty stressed. Ha, ha.
Heather was our other photographer and like Dan captured so many photos between them over 1500
to be exact and we just love them. I am so glad we decided to get video because now looking
back at it, they shot things that even we missed because we were so busy with our guest. And
Juan our DJ and the photo booth just rocked all night long!!! — Thanks again for giving us a
great night and cant wait to start working on our album.

We got a lot of great pictures and we love the video. We also used their backdrop inside the hall for pictures, which just looked like a plain white sheet and was all bunched up at the bottom and visible in many pictures. Other than that, Dave, the photographers, and the videographer were great to work with.

PLEASE DON’T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE THAT WE DID BY HIRING THIS COMPANY.
I am going to have a hard time limiting this to only 2000 characters but I will try.
We met with Dave the owner and ONLY booked with them because we were told that we had the two photographers that we wanted. Fast forward to 6 months later and we get a phone call saying that we would have to pick 2 new photographers because one left the company (I don’t blame them for this) but the other was going out of town for a wedding in Russia. Mind you we had already been told that we had him booked. So we had to pick 2 other photographers. We weren’t happy about it, but we did it. A few months later we got a similiar phone call. Our primary also left the company and so we had to pick another photographer. So we ended up with our 4^th and 5^th pick. When I asked about the fact that he had told me they were employees and not independant contractors he said that he never said that and that EVERYONE uses independant contractors and argued with me.
The day of the wedding our photographers and videographers were fighting with each other and directing all of us to do different things. Because they knew they had screwed up they send a 3^rd photographer.
When we got our pictures (yes there were like 1600) we were disappointed so we ended up spending money to have a reshoot done. We coordinated with our venue and paid our florist to remake the bouquet. I also paid to have my hair redone. The reshoot was beautiful.
Don’t get me wrong we had several good shots. But most of them were subpar and or mediocre at best.
The video was also okay. Not good, definitely not great… but okay.
Overall, the owner was argumenative, and the work was very mediocre. If that is what you are looking for then this is the perfect company for you. If you want something that you will want to hang in your house and show family and friends, then I would definitely go with a different company.

HORRIBLE!!! STAY AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE!!!
The quality of the video was far below average compared to the videos they showed us when we first went in to book with them. Now, I did not sign up to get an HD video, I get that, but the quality of the final video looked like it was from the technology of 15 years ago. I have a FLIP camera, which is a small hand-​held camera with a very limited zoom feature, and I could have done a better job with that! The attitude Dave (the owner) gave my wife when she called with complaints about the editing and quality of the video was completely unacceptable, and of course when I got on the phone with him, his tone magically changed. He told me that the videographer makes the final call as to what material ends up on the final video, and I thought that was the most idiotic thing I have ever heard. How about letting ME and MY WIFE determine what material should or should not be on OUR video that we OVERPAID for? Basically, once they receive your money, you are in their rear view mirror. PLEASE do yourselves a favor and stay away from this very unprofessional company. Everything else about our wedding went almost perfectly, and this is the ONE part of it that we completely regret.
