Chalisa & John | Nelson:
"Ray did a fantastic job for our big day! If there are 10 stars, l would give him and his wife those. He noticed those little details and spontaneously added them into our video which made it so special. Thank you very much Ray & Lynette."
Bryan & Nicola | Wellington:
"The videoing of our wedding was professionally done, with clever moving footage, and from two different angles. Ray came to the rehearsal also and was very clear with his communication and understood what we wanted. We loved his attention to detail. The promptness was much appreciated. We had the highlights within two weeks and a full video in a month. We were even able to look at things on-line while we were on honeymoon!"
Tamsyn & David | Motueka:
"I could not have asked for someone more expert to navigate recording our ceremony in the Ngarua Caves. With Ray's experience, he used every tool under his belt to capture the beauty of our wedding, taking up the challenge of shooting a video inside a cave! I highly recommend Ray for exceptional service even in extraordinary circumstances."
