We're all about telling epic love stories – no cookie-cutter stuff here. Based in Miami but up for an adventure anywhere, we're not your average wedding videographers. Think of us as your partners in memory-making. We'll be there laughing, dancing, and capturing every crazy, beautiful moment. Our mission is simple: make your love shine. No rules, no boredom. Your love story is one-of-a-kind, and that's how we approach filming it. We're not just about the big scenes; we're into the little details, the stolen glances, the goofy grins – everything that makes your love yours.

We are so thrilled to be writing this review because we simply cannot speak highly enough of Trey and TreeHouse. We have never worked with video for another event before, so we weren’t sure quote what to look for, but came across Trey’s videos and could immediately tell they were something special. We’re both musicians and also appreciated how well the edits synced with the music as well. We were hoping that our wedding video would have a documentary feel — capturing the beautiful natural location in New York’s Catskill mountains and the feeling of our group of people coming together to celebrate us. It was a laid back wedding and a really amazing group of loved ones and we wanted to see and hear things that wouldn’t be captured in photos and we wouldn’t be able to take in at the time. Trey helped craft a specific package to meet our request and speaking to him it was clear he understood what we were hoping for and built on that vision with his perspective. Wow! Trey delivered!! He brought in a second shooter, Brent, who was so helpful in capturing the day. Not only were they truly amazing people to be around (all of our friends and family were so comfortable and at ease with them), they were exceptionally professional and skilled. They kept us calm and collected in the midst of details and a tight wedding day schedule. Watching the videos was an emotional experience because Trey managed to capture the feeling of the wedding celebration perfectly and get candid and intimate interviews with our friends and family that touched us (and were new to us) months after the wedding. It was clear just how carefully Trey had listened to us in our meetings leading up to the wedding — he heard us and did an amazing job bringing our dreams to life. I really wish I had videos like this capturing other important times in my life. If you are considering whether to get a videographer for your special event or wedding, you absolutely should. If you are considering Treehouse Creative, I cannot recommend it highly enough as people and as professionals! Seriously!

I looked at SO MANY wedding videos and they were all so similar and cookie cutter. They were lacking something but I couldn’t put my finger on it. THEN I FOUND JIMMY SHIN.

We are absolutely thrilled with the film Ephraim created for us and can't wait to watch it over and over again, both now and in the years to come. After our first viewing, we said to each other, "This is AMAZING! This is exactly why we chose Ephraim!" Ephraim masterfully wove together our vows, speeches, dances, and every other special moment—from the silly to the serious—into one perfectly crafted film. It truly exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect memento to cherish forever. Working with Ephraim was a wonderful experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't express how grateful we are for our incredible wedding videographer, Steven! He was not only incredibly talented but also the sweetest person to work with. His professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every shot he took.  He beautifully captured all the special moments of our day, and finding someone who could provide high-quality video, drone footage, and 8mm film was a dream come true. When I finally stumbled upon this gem from Virginia, I knew I had found my guy! And I felt compelled to write this review even before receiving our final video because of how much we enjoyed working with Steven and his colleague! I was so comfortable with them and felt like their friend by the end of it all. If the teaser video is any indication (which we received the following day OMG!), the final video will far exceed all our expectations! We will cherish these memories forever, thanks to their amazing work! EASILY, HAPPILY, AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! 12/10! 5 STARS ALL AROUND! If you would like a videographer who has a great product, is easy to work with, is a good human, and makes your wedding day better by being awesome, do yourself a favor and hire Steven! You will not regret it…we sure as heck don’t! Steven, thank you so much! What a positive experience you gave us! You’re the best and we are so grateful! We’re so excited for our final edit! -Laura

I love starting a new project, and having an open opportunity to be creative and original. And finally, I love making a product that can be used as a keepsake to help relive and remember special times.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bailey is a true artist! Our wedding video is something we were very nervous about. We even considered not hiring a videographer because we were so worried about feeling uncomfortable on camera! Bailey moved about our wedding day capturing every important moment completely undetected, and I mean that in the best way possible! We didn't even realize in the moment that we were being filmed. She captured the most meaningful, genuine moments of our day and after seeing the final product, we can't even imagine not having this video to cherish for the rest of our lives. At our reception we had an audio guest book that provided us with a bunch of audio from our loved ones. We gave Bailey the huge task of adding some of that audio to our final video. We were completely blown away by how she mixed the audio from our friends and family with the other audio and video from the day! We now have a beautiful highlight reel that we can show to friends and family, we have an edited video of our vows with multiple angles, we have all of the toasts in an edited video, and, one of our favorite things about what Bailey offers with her videography packages, we have all of the raw, unedited footage so we don't forget a single moment of the day. Bailey is caring, flexible, professional, and has an unmatched talent for the art of videography!

At Still Do Media, we believe your wedding deserves to be remembered beautifully. Choosing the right wedding photographer and videographer is one of the most important decisions you'll make, and we're here to make it easy.

Still Do was so helpful and professional from the very first meeting. We booked for just videography services. Last week, our videographer was unexpectedly not available, but Still Do Media handled this situation very carefully and calmly, and they had a standby videographer in the backup team. Matt, our backup videographer, is amazing! He stepped in a few days before the wedding with professionalism and positive energy. He captured every detail in perfect style. I just had a little bad experience with how they deliver raw footage unprofessionally. Folders and clips are messed up and disorganized. But our experience with Still Do Media is incredible. We are always thankful for making our wedding such a memorable and joyful experience!

I love coffee. I never leave home without it. I’m easy going. I love to chill. I’m a huge sports fan and I love watching Skip Bayless and others argue on Fox. Basketball was my first love and even in my thirties I still daydream about playing in the NBA. As a teenager, while most of my peers were listening to 2Pac and Biggie, I preferred Marvin Gaye, Al Green and The Temptations. I’ve been told that I have an old soul. At the end of the day I love life, I love my job and my customers always come first.

We worked with Lawrence for our wedding videography in August. He was super easy to work with and schedule, and provided a large number of options for our videography including different length videos/highlight reels as well as the raw footage for us to keep. Day of, he was very professional and thoughtful in his actions and behavior, and captured so much of our getting ready, ceremony, and reception. While we haven’t gotten a final product back from him yet (since its only been a few weeks since our event), we feel very confident with Lawrence’s work and are very excited to have this video keepsake for the future!

John is a Chicagoland native. After graduating and traveling, he returned back to Chicago’s Lakeview and South Loop neighborhoods.

John is always available to chat with you about your ideas and answer any questions. He’s excited getting to know you as a couple and share your vision for your wedding day.

Everyone gets a photographer but honestly wedding videos capture the night on entirely different level. Having professional videos from my wedding helped capture the moment with all the live emotions, vibes, and reactions. It is definitely a must if you want to remember your big day vividly for years to come! All of my family and wedding party watched the videos Smiling Toad created and we found ourselves crying and laughing all over again. It truly is so special. Smiling Toad was a great vendor for our wedding! John, the owner, is very responsive and great at communicating. On our wedding we had two videographers, Kevin and Sandra, and they were wonderful. They were super professional, detail oriented, and worked perfectly with our photographer and planner’s team. The videos came out SO GOOD and I am seeing so many silly and lovely moments that they caught on video that I had not noticed. I’m so glad we hired Smiling Toad to capture our wedding, we could not recommend them more!

I became indulged in the story-telling of my wedding couples. Being surrounded by the excitement, sometimes nervous couples, and their loving families and friends made the filming such a rush. Then to have the honor to edit a film where their personalities and love shine through is the greatest privilege. I want to take them on a journey back in time to the most epic day where they laugh and cry with all their family and friends. I make films that last the ages. I love to think about how my couples might show their kids or even grandkids someday.

Paul Hairston is an award winning and nation-wide wedding, documentary and commercial filmmaker for over 13 years. He loves anything and everything about human storytelling and creating impact through the medium of film. He strives to capture your special day with earnestness, trust and top shelf visuals. Throughout his career he has worked to blend vérité filmmaking with a production value those stories and emotions deserve, while never getting in your way. Providing painterly and elegant coverage with an unobtrusive but attentive presence that documents every unique detail is Paul’s goal with every film.

We had such an excellent experience with Paul on our wedding day! He was so communicative leading up to the day, as well as the actual wedding day. He was friendly, professional, punctual and worked so well alongside our photographer for the day, filming all of the lovely moments we may have otherwise missed (dance floor, cocktail hour, etc). He also filmed our first look, which was one of the moments that I most wanted to have on film, and made it such a fun experience. We watch our video every year on our wedding anniversary (it's been almost 13 years!), and we look back so fondly on that day because of the sweet moments that Paul captured - and have also shown it to our kids, who love to watch it over and over again. We highly recommend Paul to also capture your wedding day!

Our approach to wedding filmmaking is simple- deliver the most sincere, organic recollection of the day by acting as unnoticeably as possible. By eliminating the pressures of being filmed, our couples are able to enjoy each moment of their day and be truly present in the experience, providing us with an authentic and emotional collection of frames. Weddings are our passion and we enjoy being able to assist with planning, coordinating and timeline creation throughout the months leading up to your big day. We’re with you every step of the way and are dedicated to creating the best possible version of your love story.

Rhys was great to work with!! He provided so much guidance leading up to the wedding day, going over my timeline and making recommendations based on how long he's seen things take. He also provides a list of suggested do's and dont's that you wouldn't realize have an impact on the video - it was so helpful!! Before the wedding he also has a prep call to go over all the details and any notes/requests we have for the videos (vibe we're looking for, any cinematic requests, song requests, etc.) He was another great presence to have the day of! We haven't gotten the video back yet but right after our wedding we got an email that lists out all the steps they take throughout video production. We've since gotten emails every time our video has moved to the next step. The communication from Rhys since we booked has been so incredible!

I’m Holly (she/her), a 28-year-old wedding videographer based in Grand Rapids, MI. I love for telling stories. Being a wedding videographer is truly a fly on the wall experience and I get to let you truly relive that day through video. You'll see yourself hugging your mom/dad at the end of the aisle, your first kiss as you're pronounced married for the first time, hear your vows to each other. I cannot explain how grateful I am to give you those slices of time.

I'd give Holly 5 more stars if I could! Holly is the absolute BEST and handled all the videography for our wedding. It was a no-brainer for us to pick Holly for the gig, and the video she created captured our big day in the most magical way. Holly worked seamlessly with our photographer to capture all the right shots and portray our wedding day in a way that is true to who we are as a couple. Holly was very organized before our wedding day too, meeting with me multiple times to make sure she was capturing our vision perfectly. I could not recommend Holly more, she truly is the best of both worlds - the most amazing photographer and videographer and the nicest human!

Hi, I am Emily! I'm happy that you've landed on my page. I specialize in covering videography as well as photography. I have been shooting weddings since 2013. I fell in love with watching people be in love! You can't find a better gig. I went on to receive my Bachelor of Arts in 2019. I've really been able to put my education to work in regards to all things wedding films. When I'm not shooting weddings, I am doing real estate photography, binge watching Bob's Burgers and Saturday Night Live, or most likely eating something delicious. ;)

I loved working with Emily!! She was soooo prepared, even when I wasn't! She had everything readily available, communication was quick and on point, and was able to direct our families with ease (and they're not easy haha)! Her turn around time to get my photos back was very quick and the quality was beautiful! Also, the amount of photos I got back was abundant!! Thank you Emily for capturing our day in the most beautiful way!!

A husband and wife photo video team based in Illinois, but say the word, and we are out of here! We absolutely love to travel and explore new places! So many of our clients have become our friends because We love getting to know you, and your family and friends and making everyone comfortable in front of the camera while capturing the real essence of you and everyone you love. We have been together for seventeen years, married for six. We truly are best friends who love working together and we think this shows in our work when shooting weddings together!

Ashley & Ryan are my favorite co-workers in this industry. Zero clarity issues, overall vibe is middle of the dance floor until we drop. The quality of video is more than expected when I see co-clients post. Their work in both areas is phenomenal and truly are sweethearts. Great communication with other photographers and the clients we work with. Highly recommend them as a team!
