So, even after like 9 months. I still am constantly on your site. My wedding is over and done with, but yet, I can’t get enough of your videos! Amazing. Even this gave me chills. Yall amaze me with your talents!

Catherine Peer – Bride

thank you so so much! The video is awesome!!! I spent all last night watching it over and over :) can you send me the songs and artists?? I knew some, but others I didn’t. I loved the music selections!!! Thank you so much for your hard work! The film is amazing. I have made a believer out of SO many people! Honestly Life Stage was the most expensive “item” that we spent money on for our wedding. When I told my friends and family the price you can imagine what they thought.. “Your crazy, that’s just ridiculous”…”I would spend that money on flowers…everyone remembers flowers.”. There is NO exaggeration in what I am about to tell you…. EVERY SINGLE person who thought I was crazy or “mis” using my wedding money has said that David and I made the BEST investment to our marriage!! Every single person has said how amazing and unbelievable the film is!! And on top of that to receive my film before I even get my wedding photos… You guys are awesome and I can not say enough about the hard work and amazing service the Life Stage team has provided! Thank you again!!!

Brittani Barrows – Bride

We just got our wedding DVD in the mail today! It was nothing short of perfect. We laughed so hard at some of the reception footage that I nearly cried. Matt and Melissa, you all did a fantastic job capturing all of the really important moments.. We really appreciate your dedication (especially when it involved sharing the Thanksgiving weekend with us). Kara, Zach, and Amy- thank you for all of your work on editing. The music fit perfectly! I’m so happy in our investment :)

Kim Robinson – Bride

Andrew and I are enjoying our honeymoon in Barbados right now and couldn’t help but watch our highlights video for the first time. There are NO words to describe how we felt about this video. We are just filled with awe and wonder! We were truly able to experience our special day all over again and it was WONDERFUL! Lifestage was one of the BEST choices we made for our wedding!

Wanda Fuschino – Mother of bride

You guys did such a wonderful job for Amy and Ryan’s wedding! You were always at the right spot at the right time. I love the attention to detail that we will enjoy for years to come. I missed many details and now as the mother of the bride, I can go back and see so much more that I missed on the actual wedding day.

Mary Elizabeth Maynard – Bride

OMGG!! I love it! I cried all the way through it! I was so afraid that nothing would live up to the highlights reel but this far surpassed anything I imagined! I can’t believe how well all the emotions were captured & how everything was ordered & timed so geniusly to really capture the essence of it all. I can’t stop crying! hahaha. Thank you so much!!! :)

Hayley Bradford – Bride

I love the footage and can’t wait to see it all done! LOVE the song you chose – just my taste! It was wonderful working with you!

Amanda Hayes – Bride

I’ve just shared the video with my close friends here at work and am absolutely in love with it! It really captured the day and made use of so many beautiful words shared by friends, family and especially my fantastic new husband!

So glad we got the chance to work with you guys, it was a pleasure, almost makes me what to get married again so we can do it all over again!!

Brooke Blankenship – Bride

LSF! We love the DVDs! Chris thinks it’s awesome, and his parents are in love with it…

no, no, YOU rock! – Brooke

Angela Rose – Bride

Wow Life Stage – we are just loving the way you captured our day. Your kind words and excellent editing and video capturing really is amazing and we couldn’t have made a better choice than to go with you guys as our videographer! We will have a blast showing this to all our friends here and sending out the link to all our guests from the US. Thank you a million times over! And if you ever need a place to stay in South Africa you know who to call :)

Rhea Simpson – Bride

MATT! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Thank you so much for all your hard work. We’re so grateful that we were able to book both you and Melissa for our wedding. This video lives up to everything I’ve seen from Life Stage so far :) You certainly have a talent for picking the clips with all the emotion, and piecing it together to tell a story, seamlessly with the music! We’ve already watched it a handful of times, and I’m sure there will be more this weekend :-P. Can’t wait to get the full thing now! :D You guys are the best, thanks again!

Mallory Brady – Bride

We keep watching this video over and over. I know I have already told you how much I love this, but I just want to let you know again that we are blown away! What an amazing thing to have with us the rest of our lives. Everything seems brighter and more beautiful after I watch this video. I love every part of it and really love that you got shots of wilmington (in the snow) in there! Thank you again!

Angela Geddes – Bride

Amen to the highlights video! We ADORED ours and another reason we love it is because it’s so easy to share with our friends around the world in a 5 minute segment. It captures our day just perfectly and I’d be soooo sad if I didn’t have it as part of our package. We love you guys AND our wedding video! :) (Blog comment)

LifeStage filmed my daughter’s wedding Aug 6, 2011 in Greenville. We were excited to know that Amanda who lived so far away had found you on the internet to film her special day. We weren’t at the wedding but after watching it, I feel like we were. No one can capture the emotion quite like LifeStage. You do an awesome job! (blog comment on another family’s video)

Ronald Duguid – Groom

Aye indeed; this video has certainly captured the spirit of a set of events that will always live with us all. Or in other word(s); FANDABBYDOZZEY. All the Best (Blog comment)

Kim Salmon – Mother of Bride

Have had two sets of friends post their childrens wedding highlight videos this week….by OTHER VIDEOGRAPHERS. And I can honestly say that after watching them, I had no desire to “replay.” Just this weekend, I had a friend of a friend tell me she watched both Kelly’s and Ben’s videos NUMEROUS times! (she’s a young person, 28 year old +/-)….That’s what your work does! It makes people want more!!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! And I, too, saw your work on National TV last week! I’m sure you’re going to be busier than ever, now! So…when Whit gets engaged, you’re the first vendor I’m calling!!!!!

Kimberly Washer – Blog Follower

I have been following you blog for some time now and I’m not sure if I have ever commented on one of your videos, but this one touched me so much I had to say something. This was absolutely amazing! You guys inspire me! I’m new to the wedding videography business and just watching your videos just makes me super excited for the future! Thanks for being so wonderful at what you do and for allowing all of us to see masterpieces like this.

Julie Davis – bride

Yes, we did get to watch it and love it! You guys are so talented!! Matt and I were talking about it the other day that the video was the best money we spent on the wedding. We are so glad that we have this to remember our day. Thank you for your hard work!

Sandi Cash – Mother of Groom

Thank you so much for the memories!! This is an awesome video. Since Wiley’s dad was sick at the time and taking chemo. this has given us time to enjoy scenes we don’t remember or did not see as we had to leave before the party was over. I know Wiley and Mallory will cherish this for ever and their children will love watching the greatest love story ever. You are great!!

Kelly Smallwood – Bride

By far one of the best surprises at the wedding. It was remarkable to have only done the first dance minutes before and then seeing it again on the video! SO AWESOME! SO WORTH IT! Love it. Thanks again Matt, Melissa, and John. (regarding her Same Day Edit)

Carrie Polack – Bride

I am overwhelmed with this highlights video! You have far surpassed our expectations and I couldn’t be happier. I can not wait to see the rest! Thank you for capturing this in such a beautiful way! Bravo!!!!

Brenda Parker – MOB

In retrospect, the wedding video of my daughter’s wedding, is something I never imagined giving us such joy. So much planning to detail was put into making her day perfect. I would be so sad if it had not been “captured” by Life Stage. We actually were watching clips from your website the day of the wedding while getting ready & had to stop because it was too emotional.

Toni Borisow – Groom

Sitting here at home 18 months later, snow on the ground and temps dropping into the teens, this video still brings me back to that picture perfect day, great times with great people (including you guys!), and the best day of my life on 6/20/2009! And who else would climb all over the floor to film 30 people with shots of vodka doing a 5 minute toast… well, besides Mr. McGraw :) Great job Matt!
