Orange Soda Films

My friend just got engaged and asked for our videographer, which just made me realize that I never reviewed him, even though he was amazing! When we first started wedding planning and experiencing the sticker shock of it all, we thought about cutting a videographer. How often would we watch our video anyways? Luckily, my mom put her foot down and said we had to have one or we would regret. I am so glad we did — it captures the day in a way that pictures just don’t do justice since our video captures emotion so much better.
We got married in August 2014 at Clos LaChance. We booked Eric on a recommendation from a couple who had used our same officiant. He was easy to work without throughout the planning process, even reaching out a few weeks before our wedding to inform us he was going out of town and we shouldn’t worry if we didn’t hear anything from him for the next week.
And, on the day of the wedding, he was great. Since had no time restrictions, he was able to capture a lot of the day, and his partner even captured the guys getting ready at a separate venue. He was incredibly unobtrusive — he didn’t tell us where to stand, what to do, etc. — he just let us enjoy the day and captured it beautifully.
After the wedding, we got back our highlights video within a few weeks and the full length video a little bit after that. Both were amazing! The videos did an amazing job of capturing our emotion of the day, far more than our pictures did. The editing is great — very smooth and professional. The full length video includes montages of bits of the day as well as full length videos of various special pieces — the toasts, first dance, ceremony, etc. We are soooo glad that we have a video of our special day, and so glad we choose Eric to create it.

NO TIME RESTRICTIONS, POSITIVE ATTITUDE, AMAZING VIDEO FOOTAGE.
My husband and I got married in August 2013. We hired Orange Soda Films to capture our wedding on video and we could NOT BE MORE HAPPIER. Initially, my husband and I didn’t budget for videography, but when we called Eric, he worked with us to create a video package that was perfect for us and our budget. Not only did Eric make it affordable, but his «no time constraint» policy was a dream come true. For those planning a wedding we all know most photographers and videographers put time constraints on their packages. The more time spent behind the camera, the more expensive the package becomes, BUT NOT ORANGE SODA FILMS! Eric and his assistants understand that you can’t put a time constraint on a wedding– it is an all day event, people should not have to pick and choose what part of their special day is captured. Eric asked me what time I wanted him to start filming and where I wanted him to be. From 9:00 am when I was getting ready until the end of my reception at 12:00am, Eric was there filming my entire wedding.
Eric and his assistant were very professional and easy going as well. I was slightly nervous that the video cameras would get in my way and I would feel unnatural; however, it was the complete opposite. Eric and his crew were able to somehow able to stay out of the way while still capturing breathtaking footage.
I received my wedding video montage within 3 months of the wedding. When I watched it for the first time I cried. They did a beautiful job retelling my wedding story through film and it brought back all the emotions from the day. I would highly recommend ORANGE SODA FILMS for your special day. YOU WILL BE SO GLAD YOU DID.

Wedding video wasn’t in our budget originally, but we decided to go for it last minute, mainly to capture the day in motion and the speeches. So glad we did! The result is worth every penny!
Eric was great to communicate with from the start, extremely responsive via email (within hours!) which is so important when there are 10+ vendors to work with.
Additionally, Eric was flexible with the videography packages as we only wanted a short edited highlight video to share with family & friends. On the big day, the team showed up on time and was friendly to work with, and we barely noticed them throughout the evening. We got the video right on time for a 2^nd reception overseas, everyone LOVED the video! Eric was also quick to convert the file into other formats that works with the new venue’s AV system.
Thank you OSF! Highly Recommended!

Here’s my story with Orange Soda Films:
It all started with my coworker (who happens to be mother-​in-​law to Eric). Both of her daughters had their videos done by him (he edited the video from his own wedding), and she would come in, after the wedding and show us all the videos. The videos were so amazing and well-​done that everyone would be tears for days. Back in the day, getting married for me was a big IF, but if I did get married, I knew I’d be hittin’ up my coworker to get her son-in-law’s info.
And then I got engaged. And then I remembered my coworker’s son-​in-​law and I got the info to his website and I contacted him. And then, he videographed my wedding, he and his assistant did a great job, totally being flexible with our schedule, making suggestions for a good shot, but mostly fading in to the background to get the best candid shots of our day. They were both awesome in that aspect.
And then, I got my highlight video. At first, there was one shot I didn’t like (my venue hadn’t covered the ceremony chairs and they were these ugly brown banquet chairs), and I emailed Eric asking to change that little part and he was so accommodating (and quick to make the changes, by the way). Here’s a link if you want:
. However, even before the changes were put in: I cried, Husband (Troy) cried, my friends cried. I probably watched the little 3:40 video at least 15 times in the first 24 hours (so what, who cares?). They somehow captured some of the best moments of the entire wedding day in a very short video. Now I’m contemplating adding a 45 minute edit on to my package (I have a birthday coming up).
TL; DR If you don’t hire Orange Soda Films for your videography, you’re gonna have a bad time ;).

My cousin referred me to Orange Soda Films. She highly recommended them so I went ahead and booked them for our wedding day, and boy was that the best decision I made for our special day. Eric captured the very essence of who we are as a couple. All the highlights he chose and the music that he picked for our video was absolutely perfect! Our wedding guests were moved to tears when we sent out the link. We received so many great comments. I know I may be biased, but I think it’s one of the best wedding videos ever :) check it out for yourself!
In addition to being such a talented videographer, Eric is very professional, responsive and on time! They were such a pleasure to work with. My husband even said they felt like family on the day of the wedding. I don’t remember seeing them during the wedding but yet still managed to capture the best moments of our special day. My one advice for brides to be, don’t skip out on a wedding videographer. Pictures don’t even capture the essence of your day like a wedding video. Our video is absolutely beautiful and sweet and I will cherish it forever.

We hired Orange Soda Films for our June 2012 wedding videography and they were absolutely fantastic. Eric and his assistant were with us with the entire day/​night and we were amazed by how unobtrusive they were, we hardly even noticed that they were there.
While we were planning the wedding my husband didn’t think that videography was necessary and thought it would be a waste of money. Even my husband was thrilled with how the video turned out and said it was definitely worth every penny and then some.
As many people say, your wedding day goes by so fast and really is hard to remember everything. When we watched our video back there were so many things that we missed or forgot and it’s so nice to have something to remember such an important day. Pictures are great, but they don’t capture the speeches, ceremony, or other special moments quite like a video.
Eric was able to capture every moment that we wanted to remember and are so glad that we went with Orange Soda Films. His turnaround time was very fast which was a big plus. We had so many great comments on how great our highlights video was. It was also very nice that he posts the highlights video online so it is very easy to share with friends and family especially for those who were not able to attend. I would definitely recommend Orange Soda Films.
