Going into wedding planning, I knew that my priority was a great videographer. I’ve heard too many stories about how my friends missed parts of their wedding day because they weren’t around for the action. I also didn’t want the usual videographer ruining the dance floor with the bright floodlights that are usually attached to a camera. Most importantly, I didn’t want to look back at our wedding video and think, “Oh I could have shot that with my regular camera.” For us, eMotionPictures was the perfect pick and the very first vendor we booked for our wedding. The services are well worth the investment. Chris (and his team) is very easy to work with. He’s clear, upfront, and very professional. He’s always accountable and understands that each couple is different. He made every effort to help us personalize our engagement video and we didn’t even have to wait long for an awesome quality product. Best of all, we literally felt like we were watching a movie!! On our wedding day, Chris was there, with three cameras and a staffer in tow, but no one noticed!! I remember him saying hello and goodbye to me. As we watched our highlight reel, we were amazed at how many moments and nuances of the night were captured; movie quality in all its glory. I understand there are videographers and photographers that come in packages, but I didn’t want to go down that route. I was after quality as well as accountability. We have friends that have been waiting over six months (and even a year!) for their wedding videos – and it’s definitely not the quality you get with Chris and his team. If you really want to remember your wedding night, I highly recommend these guys. I’ll say it again and again, they’re WORTH EVERY PENNY.

My husband and I are so so glad that we hired Chris to document our wedding day. We finally were able to sit down and watch our wedding video last night and were in tears-- I emailed Chris right away to tell him how grateful we are to have such a beautiful record of such a wonderful, important day that we will truly treasure for the rest of our lives. Chris was so wonderful to work with from day 1-- he is incredibly friendly, responsive and professional and knows what he is doing! He was a calming and unobtrusive presence on the wedding day and a total joy to work with. And, most importantly, he delivered a moving, beautiful product. I can't recommend him highly enough.

All I can say is WOW! We found Chris after our first videographer tried to scam us and wouldn't return our phone calls. Chris met with us, responded in a timely manner to every email we sent and made us feel completely confident! He is so professional, talented, and kind. His work is FANTASTIC! I was in tears watching my highlights video because Chris was able to capture not only the beautiful moments of our day, but the essence of who we are as a couple. I could not be more pleased. I would recommend Chris to anyone and everyone. Thank you Chris for capturing our most important day and giving us incredible and everlasting memories.

From the second I met Chris 10 months before our wedding I knew I didn't have to look much further. His demeanor was calm, and professional. I signed a contract with him right away, and to this day know I made the BEST decision. The day of my wedding while Chris was running around outside with us, someone stole all of his cameras but the one in his hand. He was able to shoot my 250+ guest Ceremony, Cocktail hour, and wedding (8 hours) with just that one camera and the footage is beyond belief! Truly Amazing. He kept calm and professional even through such a stressful misfortune. His work is the epitome of excellence and we will never forget it! (Especially with the amazing videos we will cherish forever) Thank you Chris for documenting the most memorable day of our lives in such a perfect and amazing way. We will continue to refer you to our friends and hope to see you soon!

I planned my NYC ceremony from Canada (which was difficult!), and didn't have the chance to meet Chris until the morning of my wedding. I relied on the reviews I read online and his past work samples which completely blew me away. Once I contacted him, I knew he was the one - he answered all of my questions and was such a pleasure to deal with... he really made me feel confident in my decision and I knew I had nothing to worry about. On the wedding day, things were so hectic that I didn't really have a chance to go over anything with Chris, but he knew exactly what we'd want and was simply amazing in making sure he had all the shots we'd want to look back on - he went to work getting great footage of my makeup artist and I, the groom getting ready, the dress, and just seemed to catch everything! We had an outdoor ceremony, which can certainly be a challenge with the wind, the loud trains, hoardes of people everywhere etc - but he did whatever he had to in order to get the best shots (even climbing through a huge bush and getting covered in pollen!). His 2 camera setup was perfect to allow 2 totally seperate angles in our final video, and his lapel mics were fantastic - our voices are so clear in the video, and the background noise is really non-existant. Our video is simply amazing and I honestly believe that nobody else could have done a better job - he was such a fun guy and is so talented that there just isn't anyone better. Our video blew us away, and everyone who has watched it has either been brought to tears, or can not stop raving about how amazing it is. Chris has such an amazing talent to be able to create such a story with the footage at the end - we love how he mixed in the clips of our vows with getting ready and the pics after the ceremony, and how he was able to use both songs we chose when we couldn't just pick one. I really can't say enough about how great Chris was - we were so lucky to have found him and can not say enough good things about him. Watch his videos on his vimeo channel - they speak for themselves.

My search for a videographer was difficult initially. Many of them were way out of my price range. I narrowed down the search to eMotion Pictures and one other vendor. After comparing their work and meeting with Chris, I knew eMotion Pictures was right for our wedding. Chris was a pleasure to work with. He let the day evolve naturally, rarely interfering. Most of the time, I forgot that he was filming. Despite the fact that he was unobtrusive with his filming, he seemed to capture everything. The most impressive thing about Chris' work is the editing. He managed to edit out some of the bumps that happened during the day. He took the ideas I had about the final product and made them into a reality. Lastly, as a bride, you want someone who is dependable. He is very responsive via email and phone, which is comforting. It lets you know that your wedding is important to him.

AMAZING...is the best word I have that describes the work done by Chris!! From the moment I saw his work on his website, I knew I found "the one" that would be my videographer. After meeting him it was obvious he was a perfect match for my fiance and I. He is SUPER SUPER talented and so very personable!! He is fabulous!!! It took time to convince my fiance we needed a videographer at all as he felt it was a waste of money because we would probably never watch it.....FAST FOWARD..>>>..he gushes about the video to everyone and raves about Chris' work! Any future bride reading this review, trust me you if you don't book Chris you will regret it!!! Thanks Chris for all the well filmed, edited, and preserved memories...:)

Chris is wonderful! We were married on May 15th 2011 and he captured all the moments that we had missed during our day. He has a very unobtrusive documentary style. We had no idea he was there at all; he has a great creative eye and was able to document details that my husband and I really enjoyed. Chris' editing is amazing - he cut perfectly to the music list we provided. Turnaround time is also very good - we provided music late to him (oops!) and he was able to edit in under a month. I highly recommend him to any bride looking for more than just photos to look back on in 20 years.

The moment I came across Chris's website I knew I found my match!!! He offered exactly the look and feel that I was going for!! Chris's work is amazing and his talent for editing speaks for itself! We just got our highlight reel from Chris and I must say that he brought me to tears!!! He totally captured every special moment of our wedding and we can't thank him enough!!! He is the best!!!

We just received and watched our wedding video for the first time, and are absolutely floored by the incredible job that Chris Bryan did documenting our wedding! Chris' work is truly remarkable, and there is no doubt that he has a keen artistic vision and a talent for editing! Our wedding video not only displays beauty in its cinematography, but it captures every moment that was poignant for us in our day, and brought us right back to the excitement of the day and how joyous we felt. Beyond the impeccable end product, Chris was a pleasure to work with in every way. He was very responsive to calls and emails, direct in his communications with us and always quick to follow through and deliver anything that he promised. He is a consummate professional and we would recommend Chris to others without reservation. Thanks Chris!

Chris Bryan was a true blessing! We met with Chris about 6 months ago in preparation for our wedding in September 2010, and choosing him to be our videographer was one of the best decisions we've ever made. Chris is a great guy and a great videographer. He was able to capture our wedding day as the fun, memorable, and beautiful day that it was. During the ceremony and reception, we barely knew that he was there taking shots and video, but he somehow was able to get all of the great footage that we will look back on forever! From the very beginning, Chris explained everything to us and made us feel very confident and comfortable that he would do a great job. Another great thing about Chris is his flexibility and straightforward business manner. He made sure to lay all of the details out on the table for us to make a clear decision, and I appreciated that the most. Chris is just great at what he does and I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a job well done!

I just saw the clip of our wedding...WONDERFUL! He caught moments, I totally forgot about. I didn't remember how beautiful our ceremony was until I saw the film. Chris is an EASE to work with! I know there are some brides who are panicked by a multitude of many things going on with the planning of their wedding. If you choose eMotions -- you will absolutely have nothing to worry about. Chris is UPFRONT, FAIR, HONEST AND offers EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY! When I went to his site, I loved the clips. When I saw that he had the pricing actually listed on his site -- even better. I hate to haggle. He was so nice, very personable, I hated keeping him from his family on a Saturday night. Right now my clip is on Facebook, my FB friends love the wedding! Even after 15 hours after the posting, I'm getting all sorts of great comments.

Chris from eMotion Pictures is a fantastic wedding videographer! Family and friends can't stop complimenting the great highlight clips he did. Chris captured amazing moments from our wedding day. I didn't even know he was taping us and caught so many memorable parts of the day. He is a nice guy, easy to deal with, and very responsive to calls and emails. He genuinely cared about giving us a great video. We had highlight clips in 3.5 weeks and received our DVDs on our 1 month anniversary. He is a fantastic videographer and you can't go wrong with him. You will definitely be happy you booked with him.

We got married at the Carlyle hotel in NYC not to long ago and Chris was our videographer...Chris is the man you want at your wedding, Not only he is super nice but he is also extremely talented, My husband and I are very happy with the video, a matter of fact when we watched certain scenes together, we were amazed that we didn't know he was even there...That's how professional he is...Trust me, you want him as your videographer. Happy Wedding!!!!! Don & Mary

Chris was by far the most professional & caring vendor I dealt with throughout our entire wedding. Right from the very first meeting where he truly listened to what I wanted for my wedding video right onto the wedding itself where I barely noticed Chris and his assistant there at all. They did an amazing job of capturing things I didnt even think they saw. When we received our video from Chris it was like being there all over again but this time from a different perspective. We got to see all of the little things that we worked so hard on during our wedding but were way to busy to enjoy. I searched for months and months for a videographer to make the kind of vision I had come to life and all I came up with was more expensive videographers with what I know now to be not nearly as much talent. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to capture a very special occasion. He and his staff are truly one of a kind and I feel blessed to have found them.

Chris is WONDERFUL at what he does!!!! I live in Arizona and was planning a 10 year wedding celebration in New York! I came across Chris's website and was amazed at the demos shown. Upon our first talk over the phone-I was convinced that he was the videographer to hire! He was quick in responding to my emails and calls. I gave some few suggestions of what I would like to see/hear on the video and left the rest up to his creative vision. After reviewing the dvd I was so impressed with the outcome!! He captured wonderful and precious moments. The highlight portion was a great hit amongst family and friends!! He is such a great person to work with!! I recommend him to every bride looking for a videographer who is going to assure you that your memories are going to be captured in the most magical way!!!

Yes, it seems a bit much to give a 5 out of 5 but Chris Bryan is an amazing videographer. I was on the fence about even hiring a videographer and now having seen the final result cannot believe I ever hesitated. Chris was extremely professional throughout the entire process. He responded to emails within hours and was patient with my last minute questions. Chris really captured the feel of our day. The edited DVD is amazing and the highlight clip is simply perfect! I was concerned about the effects of in your face camera and lights and was also concerned that my guests would have to give awkward wedding advice on camera. Chris was hands off at the event and I never felt his presence. I am still amazed that he captured the footage he did and even more impressed with his editing. Book Chris and eMotion Pictures---you will be thrilled that you did!

If you’re looking for a top-notch videographer to capture your wedding, you simply can’t get any better than Chris Bryan. My husband and I both have experience in film/video, so our expectations were extremely high. Still, Chris managed to exceed those expectations with the beautiful DVD he put together for us. He managed to capture every moment of our amazing day, and he blended in seamlessly. I was most thankful for his energy level. We walked to our ceremony and reception venue, and he was happy to run alongside us the whole time. He would go above and beyond in his efforts to get the perfect video. He came up with so many creative shots and interesting perspectives. Then, during the actual ceremony and reception, we had SO much going on! Guitarists, drummers, dance performers, singers, toasts, cute kids running everywhere, you name it, and he somehow got it all on tape—unbelievable! Editing is another one of his strengths, and we loved how well he “gets” the music and edits to the song choices we provided. The DVD was hilarious in some moments, exciting and thrilling in others, and most importantly, romantic and thoughtful during those most important moments. Put it all together, and the utter happiness of the celebration of our marriage comes right through. Thanks again, Chris!

It was great working with Chris! From our first meeting, I got a great vibe from him and just knew he would be great to work with. I was not disappointed. He took extra special care to make sure he understood the schedule of events and the meaning behind the specific rituals for the Indian ceremony. He was really accomodating, very professional and really took an interest in our day. We were blown away by the clip he did of our wedding day - not easy to capture 2 ceremonies, a dance performance and a reception in a few minutes but he really did. When he posted on facebook all my friends, family and even people I didn't know were blown away as well. We loved our video and the way he captured all the tiny details. He really captured the mood, the fun, the excitement and utter happiness of our wedding day.

I'm a bit late in writing this review (as my husband and I got married in August 2009!). However, I could not pass the opportunity to give Chris a glowing review for the amazing work he did for our wedding DVD! I actually watched our wedding DVD for the first time in awhile and I was reminded at how beautifully Chris captured our wedding day. My husband and I could not be happier with the final product (and to think we almost did not want to hire a videographer!). Chris was so easy to work with from the very beginning to the end, and our video was ready only a couple weeks after the wedding to boot! The video was exactly what we wanted--all the important, special moments captured in a no-frills video. The 3-minute clip he posted on his website was perfect in showing our friends and family as well. Even after 1.5 years of being married, my husband and I love watching our wedding video. We are so grateful to Chris for documenting our wedding so wonderfully. My friends, family, and coworkers have commented that this is the best wedding video they have seen. That said, we highly recommend hiring Chris to film your wedding!

Chiris was excellent, it was like he wasn't even there but still somehow was able to catch the best moments of the Wedding. Everytime I watch the Video, it feels like I am watching a movie because he put it together so well and it won't feel like the same boring videos other videographers give you. He is absolutely the best in his profession and I highly recommend him.

Chris [Bryan] did such an amazing job of capturing every special detail and moment of our wedding. I received our video so quickly- all my friends were so jealous as they were still waiting months and months to see theirs. When I watched it for the first time I couldn't believe how much it brought me back to that day- it was like reliving it all over again!
