  • "I am beyond glad that we chose Corey to film our wedding! We saw what a great job he did for our SIL & BIL’s wedding and knew we had to have him capture our big day too. All of our wedding parties/family loved having him and raved about how well he fit into the day and how professional he is. His consultations are so thorough and detailed, he asked questions that we didn’t even think about beforehand, but so glad we went through it all. He captured little moments on our wedding day that I didn’t even notice or would’ve expected him to catch, we loved being surprised by those in the final video. He included us in some of the editing process to make sure it was everything we wanted. All in all, it came to be the most beautiful video of our day that’s allowed us to relive the emotions over and over again! We will always recommend Corey to friends and family for any videography needs!!"

  • "My now husband and I got engaged in November 2023. We knew we didn’t want a long engagement and decided to get married in March 2024. We weren’t sure if we were going to hire a videographer because we were on a pretty strict budget. I came across Corey’s social media page when I was looking for a photographer and I absolutely fell in love with his work. I could see in every video the detail and customization to each couple he showcased. I knew I wanted to hire him right then and there. I talked with my fiancé at the time and we discussed possibly trying to fit a videographer into the budget. We reached out to Corey and from the very beginning of our first interaction he was kind and so professional. He is incredibly talented and passionate about giving his clients his best work. On our wedding day Corey and his staff communicated with me about what they were working on. So professional and throughout the day, they laid low and I barely knew they were there. A couple weeks after our wedding Corey sent us a little sneak peek trailer and I knew I made the right decision. We just got our full wedding video back and it’s absolutely stunning. Corey gave us exactly want we asked for and far exceeded our expectations in capturing our beautiful day perfectly. If you’re on the fence about hiring a videographer and Corey is available, don’t think twice about it. You will not regret it."

  • "Corey is the Goat! I have been a wedding photographer for 8 years and when it was my time to get married I was very particular of who would capture my day.... I saw something different in Corey's work that really showcased his passion and talent behind what he does. After a quick phone call with him I was sold. He is extremely attentive and his communication is unlike anything you will experience in the wedding industry. From start to finish Corey was the best vendor we hired on our wedding day. We did not have a perfect wedding, but the way he captured our day was amazing. Our family will be able to relive those moments for a lifetime. Hire this man!"

  • "I just got married in December and that becomes the third wedding Corey has done in my family! He truly never disappoints & is as good as they come! Corey brought our dreams to life with our videos, was so kind and easy to work with, made us feel so comfortable & allowed for us to be as involved as we wanted! Corey always kept us in the loop and gave us updates, asked for our input & went above and beyond to make sure that it was perfect. Could not recommend him enough. Such a solid, genuine guy who feels more like a friend and made our special day even more perfect & seamless. If you need a videographer- look no further, he is your guy!!"

  • "If you're thinking about hiring Corey for your wedding/event, two words: Do it. We hired Corey to capture our wedding in Nov 2023. Frankly, we were unsure if we wanted to hire a videographer for our wedding due to budgets, and frankly, most of the videos we've seen seem very "cookie cutter" and the same format copy and pasted. I was drawn to Corey given how he takes a unique approach to each couple - their wedding video really seems to be their own and reflect their personalities. We can say, without question, we could not be happier with choosing Corey to capture our wedding day. Working with Corey was not only easy, he also made it fun and enjoyable (which is not always the case when planning a wedding). In prep for the day, he met with us for several hours to ask questions and to get to know us more - all so that he could ensure he captured us, as a couple, and the moments/things that meant the most to us. On the day-of, he was super professional, a calming presence and our wedding party/family really enjoyed working with him. He let us enjoy our day and be present, but also was *everywhere* in capturing every special moment possible. And the video....WOW. I don't know how he did it - it's incredible. It captures the entire day's sentiment, warmth, joy, love, and fun. AND he made sure to include details that I had mentioned in our initial planning call, that I had forgotten about until I saw it in the video. He really listened to us. Despite the dozens of weddings he's working with at a single time, Corey made us feel like his only client. Bottom line: Choosing wedding vendors can be overwhelming. Rest assured that hiring Corey is a 10000/10 choice. You will be in great hands and will have a video(s) that your family will cherish forever."

  • "Corey was an absolute dream to work with. As a filmmaking couple, we had very high standards and expectations for our wedding video, and Corey blew them out of the water. His attention to the smallest details, deep understanding of our story and passions, professional demeanor, and ability to edit together a masterpiece final product are what sets him apart from the rest of the crowd. When we received our film, we were brought to tears...he didn't just recap our wedding - he provided us with a visual representation of our love. It's a wedding FILM, not just a wedding video. If you're looking for the best, look no further - Corey McDonald is it!"

  • "HIRE COREY!!! Working with him was one of my highlights in the Wedding Planning process. You get to work with a friend, not just a “vendor”. Corey is SO talented in what he does. But he still is someone very passionate. He works with the heart and NOT just for time or money. This is not his job, but his passion! He deeply desires to portray people’s heart and stories as accurate and creative as he can. And on the day of our wedding he was the most kind and joyful person. It felt that he was celebrating with us while he captured the moments instead of just “doing his job”. He is so professional, so talented, and I did not find any negative things in his work. THANK YOU COREY!!"

  • "From the first phone call, Corey made a lasting impression on my fiance and I. He was not only genuine, but SO organized and came with a structured conversation of topics he wanted to learn about us as a couple, as well as what we could expect from him if we worked together. After interviewing other vendors that came to the conversation with nothing more than, "What would you like to know?", Corey was a breath of fresh air and we hired him immediately. Corey is so transparent and communicative. Leading up to shooting, he touches base with planning meetings and was even kind to help me with silly things like the payment portal or reviewing everything he needed from me before the big day. I always felt comfortable asking him anything and vocalizing my opinion, as he's just as kind and helpful as he could be. Hiring Corey was life changing. The videos he has created hand-in-hand with us are a treasure we could not put a price on. Corey made such a lasting impression on our wedding party, that I even had more than one person ask for his contact information following the wedding! If you want a videographer that is an amazing creative and person, HIRE HIM! We look forward to seeing him again soon!"

  • "I followed Corey on Instagram two years before even meeting my husband. I found one video he created, and it inspired my whole wedding day. I fell in love with the venue in his video, and knew when the time came he would be the first vendor we would hire. Not only is Corey immensely talented, his kindness is unmatched. He took so much time to get to know us as a couple and learn what was special to us and what moments we would cherish most from our wedding day. By the time our day came, Corey arrived while I was getting my makeup done, and it felt like an old friend was there. He was professional but fun, provided direction when needed, and didn't miss a single moment of spontaneity. Unsurprisingly, our finished video was personal and sweeter than I could ever have imagined. I fell in love with our wedding day all over again, and felt like I got to experience what the ceremony and party were like from my guest's perspective. If you're on the fence about hiring a videographer - DO IT. Contracting Corey's talent is absolutely the best money we spent, and our video is the most special keepsake we have from our wedding, and we will cherish forever. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Love, Mr. and Mrs. Smith."

  • "Dear future brides and grooms, I hope you choose Corey McDonald. I hope you have the most special wedding day and I hope Corey is there to capture it just as beautifully as he did ours. He checked off every single box on what I had envisioned for our final wedding film, and then threw in some surprises for us too. Not only is he a very great communicator (always giving us timely updates and check ins), he is a fantastic listener. In the year since we signed our contract leading up to our big day, I watched him roll out new films for other couples. And they just kept getting better and better. Each so beautifully done to suit the couple. Our 6 minute film told a clear story. It made me laugh and cry and then laugh again. He’s intentional but so artistic. Corey is the type to be successful in every endeavor. I’ve seen his business grow graciously since we first met. I’d love to continue to see his beautiful films, so I hope you choose Corey McDonald!"

  • "I am thrilled to write this review about Corey McDonald and the outstanding wedding video he produced for a wedding at Club Continental in Orange Park, Florida on 3/10/23. From the moment we first contacted Corey, he was an absolute joy to work with. His professionalism, attention to detail, and creativity were apparent from the very beginning. He made us feel comfortable and confident that we had made the right choice in choosing him to document our special day. On the day of the wedding, Corey and his team were punctual, organized, and worked seamlessly with the other vendors. They were able to capture all the important moments of the day without being intrusive or disrupting the flow of the event. We barely noticed they were there, but the resulting footage was absolutely stunning. When we received our wedding video, we were blown away. Corey had truly captured the essence of our wedding day and the love that we felt for each other. The editing was masterful, and the music choices perfectly complemented the footage. It was clear that he had taken the time to understand our personalities and style, and he was able to create a video that was uniquely ours. Overall, we cannot recommend Corey McDonald highly enough. He is a talented and passionate videographer who genuinely cares about his clients and their vision for their wedding video. We would recommend him to any couple looking for a videographer who will exceed their expectations and deliver a beautiful, personalized wedding video that they will treasure for years to come. Thank you, Corey, for capturing our special day so perfectly!"

  • "Corey is exactly the type of videographer you need and would want for your wedding! From the beginning of the planning process, he was such a joy to work with. He was intentional, thoughtful, and so dedicated to making our film everything we could have imagined. My husband, Conrad, and I could not be happier with our engagement video, wedding trailer, and wedding film! The quality of his work and story telling is truly unmatched! He told our love story the way we would have wanted it to be told and turned it into an aesthetic, personal, timeless piece of art! He really highlighted the whole day from start to finish in a way that just makes sense! He didn't miss a beat. Not only is the quality of his work amazing, Corey himself was truly someone special to work with. He was timely with answering our questions and delivering such a high quality film that will last us a life time. He made us feel at ease with the whole process and we truly couldn't have picked a better person to invest in to document our most special day. We would recommend Corey to any couple looking for not just a wedding video that's a montage of the day but a film that takes you on an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish. He made our day feel like a feature film! Thank you X1000!"

  • "To put it simply, JUST BOOK COREY MCDONALD! You will not only find yourself with the pleasure of working with the most genuine and talented videographer but with a new friend. When my husband and I began wedding planning, our #1 priority when choosing our vendors, was to find people that we could envision ourselves being friends with, not only that, but to find creative, inspiring individuals, who would ADD to our day, not just be present. We found that and more with Corey. Corey went above and beyond in every single aspect of our journey with him. From the first phone call to present day, Corey has been thorough, excellent with communication, and an absolute genius with his vision. He shared our desire to bring the wedding film to the next level and totally knocked it out of the park. Corey blessed us beyond what we could have ever imagined, not only with an incredible engagement film, wedding trailer, and experience, but with a friendship we did not realize that we needed. Your wedding day is the BEST day ever and also the quickest. Out of all the wedding vendor decisions that we made, Corey is the #1 because of what he has given us... that day, those feelings, and our love story all bundled into one. Thanks Corey! We owe you BIG! Can't wait for all that is to come."

  • "There are not enough words to explain how amazing Corey is and what a big part of our day he was. My husband and I just got married 10/22/22 at Tringali Barn. I chose my date around Corey's availability as he has worked with some of our family in the past and I knew I had to have him at our wedding. Corey is so professional, organized, and talented. In the midst of the craziness of wedding day, whenever Corey was around it felt like time slowed down and we all could appreciate the moment we were in. He did such a wonderful job in making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. A lot of us have never been in a video before so it felt like a lot of pressure, but Corey gave the best direction to making it feel like such a natural process. We got our trailer back from Corey and OH MY!!! It is stunning!!! If you are looking for a videographer you should look no further and definitely reach out to Corey. You will not be disappointed! Corey, thank you for everything, we could not imagine our day without you! Thank you for being someone that we will remember forever. Thank you for working so hard on giving us something that we can look back on for years to come. We appreciate you so much!"

  • "Corey is hands down the most talented person I have ever met. If you’re looking for a videographer, you don’t need to look any further this is your guy right here. This man will make all your dreams come true, even the ones you didn’t know you had till you see your final videos. Corey has a way of capturing everything in the most beautiful and non invasive way( half of the time you could barely tell he was there, everything flows so perfectly with him). Corey, you are such a light to speak and work with. Corey is not only so talented, he has such a great presence and the best personality! He is so easy to talk to and get along with, he knows how to steer all ideas into a plan that works perfectly with your day. Even if you have no idea what you want your vision to be yet, Corey will help you find and realize that vision. I can’t thank him enough for the beautiful work he has done for us. 100000/10 will recommend his work to anyone and everyone I know."
