    I would not recommend ByDesign Photo Film to any couple planning their wedding. The lack of communication from this vendor was extremely frustrating - I was not able to speak to the assigned videographer until 5 days before the wedding, and the second videographer was not even assigned until 3 days prior. The quality of their work was extremely poor and amateur. They were intrusive and rude to each other, which made the whole experience very uncomfortable. In the end, I don't even have a single good picture of my rings, the photos are crooked and my skin is completely washed out. My ceremony was at 6pm on an October evening, and the photos are just horrendous. Save yourself the stress and RUN, do not book this company. Their contracted workers are clearly inexperienced and the overall organization of this vendor is a complete mess.

    ByDesign Photo Film was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding videography. They were punctual, reliable, and kept us informed every step of the way. The quality of their work was breathtaking - the video perfectly captured the special moments from our big day. The team helped us get some amazing shots even with our hectic wedding schedule. Their professional yet easy-going style made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. The final edited video was stunning, bringing us right back to the emotions we felt on our wedding day. We couldn't be happier with choosing ByDesign and highly recommend their top-notch services for any couple's special event.

    Would NOT recommend We had many extended family members come into town from all over the United States, Canada, and India, so we made time after our ceremony to do family portraits. One month after our wedding day, we received our pictures. We received approximately 20% of these pictures in our album. This was especially frustrating because we paid additional money for extra time and spent weeks attempting to get them to honor the price for additional photographers so that we could accommodate family portraits. It took about 6 weeks waiting for email responses and calling our project manager to finally get all our images. We had a lead and associate photographer and a lead and associate videographer. The associate videographer was at my home (the bride) the morning of the wedding. After getting our final full length, trailer, and teaser, there were NO video clips of me, (the bride) getting ready in the morning. The edits and music were choppy, as if it was not reviewed before releasing to us. At this point, we were exhausted working with BDF, and just wanted to complete this project with them. My brother works as a video editor, so we paid an ADDITIONAL 600 for all of our raw footage. We now have a trailer to look back on, only because of my brother, which cost us extra fees and stress.
