    The best!!

    Handheld Studio was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding video. From the start, their communication was fast, helpful, and dependable - they were always quick to respond to our questions and kept us updated every step of the way. The quality of their work was excellent, and they were incredibly well-organized in capturing all the special moments of our day. They even went above and beyond, helping us track a package that was delayed during a blizzard and creating a fantastic highlight video that perfectly captured the spirit of our wedding, incorporating music we had played at the event. We didn't even have to guide them on that - they just seemed to intuitively understand the vibe we were going for. We would wholeheartedly recommend Handheld Studio to any couple looking for a more affordable, fun, and collaborative video experience for their big day.

    Amazing Way to Capture Wedding Memories

    My husband and I had a micro-wedding in NYC with just our family. While we hired a photographer, we decided not to hire a videographer because we were trying to keep the day as intimate, stress-free and low-cost as we could. However, we still wanted to have some video memories of the day so decided to try out Handheld Studio. We are so happy we did! The video footage is truly so special to us and captured so many moments we either didn't see or forgot! The footage reminds us of our old family videos in the best way possible. We also absolutely loved the highlight reel they created for us with the footage (they picked the perfect moments to summarize our weekend and then set it to the soundtrack of two of our favorite songs). The process was also so easy. We received the camera a few days before our wedding then passed it around at our rehearsal dinner party, while we were getting ready during the wedding day, at our ceremony and then during dinner while our family gave speeches. The day after our wedding, we mailed back the camera and left for our honeymoon. A few days after we returned from our honeymoon, Handheld Studio sent us the full video footage and the compilation video. So easy. And we are so happy to have these memories. Could not recommend more!

    So glad we booked Handheld Studio.

    Couldn’t recommend Handheld Studio more. The whole experience felt really seamless, and the final video captured so many little moments in such a genuine way. It has that nostalgic feel without losing any of the emotion of the day.

    Loved the candid wedding footage

    Handheld Studio did an amazing job capturing everything in a way that felt real and personal. Nothing felt overdone or forced, and the final video is something we’ll genuinely love looking back on. Super smooth experience from start to finish and definitely would recommend them.
