    “We’ve almost been married for two years now, and the video you took for us is one of our favorite things to watch. I hadn’t realized how important it was to have a video of the day until you sent us what you had created, and it’s clear now how amazing it is to see all that went into the day. You allowed our personalities to shine through, and you framed all these genuine smiles and moments that I can relive with complete happiness. You truly captured how much fun everyone had, and I anticipate that it’ll still make me cry watching it years from now. Thank you so, so much!”

    “James was super easy-going, but also very professional - and he produced beautiful work. James captured all the “big” moments from our event, but he also managed to capture some amazing, candid/“in-between” moments that made our video extra special. We absolutely recommend James for your special event/day!”

    “James captured the essence of the entire wedding day of my daughter and son-in-law. He was with us the entire day and put together a product that moved so many of us to tears as we were catapulted back to that special day with these images, choreography and relevant music and sound bites. James is one talented videographer! We would choose him again and again.”

    “We hired James to do our wedding video and he exceeded our expectations. We are indecisive people on style, so I left that part to him. Between his personal videography skills and drone work, the video turned out PERFECT! The way he put it together from start to finish brings tears to my eyes every time we watch it. He got it to us very quickly, so for the last 3 months, we at least watched it every other day. The attention to detail in his work is immaculate.

    Please do not pass up the opportunity to work with James! He is a must-add to the vendor list. 10 stars if we could give that many.

    Side note- for people for whom this is important for, he stays out of the way of guests while still capturing the shots like he was up close and personal. We have had many guests comment about how they enjoyed being able to see the entire ceremony (as I guess vendors blocking their view is a common complaint at many weddings).

    Thank you, James!

    We had the pleasure of working with James for our wedding, and we couldn’t be more impressed! As a newcomer to the industry, he exceeded all expectations and delivered a wedding video that felt so personal, creative, and professional.

    Despite being new to the wedding videography scene, the quality of the work was exceptional. The final video beautifully captured the emotions, details, and special moments of our big day—everything from our first touch to the speeches and dancing. The editing was seamless, with perfect music choices that matched the mood of each moment.

    What stood out most was how naturally James blended into the day. He was always in the right place at the right time, ensuring every important moment was captured without feeling overbearing. The drone shots were breathtaking, and the attention to detail in capturing the small moments—like our guests’ reactions and the quiet, intimate moments between us—was exactly what we hoped for.

    We genuinely feel like we’ve received so much more than what we expected. If you’re looking for someone who is passionate, professional, and truly dedicated to telling your unique story, we highly recommend booking James Vandermolen —you’ll be in great hands. We can’t wait to see how he continues to evolve and share his talents with future couples!

    James! I literally can’t stop crying!!!! You captured our day so beautifully. I can’t get over how amazing this video is and know we will treasure this for the rest of our lives

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

    I am beyond grateful to James for capturing our wedding day and cannot recommend him enough. He didn’t just show up to capture our wedding- but fully invested in capturing each moment of the day. His attention to detail shines through in every frame, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better videographer. When we got the final video, I was blown away that he paid enough attention to some of the letters we had laid out on the morning of to realize their significance and use them as an opening to our video.

    On our wedding day James was fun to be around in addition to being a calming presence on such a whirlwind of a day. He really had such a keen eye for the emotional moments, the little gestures, and the overall energy of the day. It was clear that he cared just as much about making our memories perfect as we did.

    When we saw our final video, it truly felt like we were reliving the entire day. The way it was put together really captured the energy of our wedding day and made us feel all the same emotions that we remember.

    To me, what really stands out about James was his dedication even long after the wedding. He stayed in close contact with us throughout the editing process and even provided clips of a very important moment from our wedding where we honored a lost family member that wasn’t captured by everyone else.

    We wholeheartedly recommend James to any couple looking for someone who will capture not just the events of the day but the true feeling and essence of the day. James is extremely talented, passionate, and genuinely wonderful to work with. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience or final product.

    Thanks again James,

    Alyssa and Adam

    James, rocked it. As an intern he experienced being a Camera Op, AC, Audio Engineer, Editor, and Creative Contributor. He was baptized by fire being thrust into large budget projects where you either sink or swim. James was not only professional, punctual, considerate and helpful...but warm and personal. Definitely an asset...and just a good human being.
