Fantastic and meaningful work!
The ILS team has been amazing from start to finish; it’s one of the best wedding vendors we worked with. They are professional, detail oriented, crystal clear with communication, and truly warm-hearted fun people. But their work is what shines the most. They want to give you memories of a lifetime, and their skillsets in other types of videography (for example, for business branding or documentaries), means that their story telling and camera shots are crisp and meaningful in ways that are unique from other videographers whose work we have seen. Shaj and Raj gave grounding and peace during the highly stressful experience of planning and replanning a pandemic wedding, and for that also we are grateful. Many were not as fortunate as us and their conduct shows the strong ethics that guide this company.
Some examples of our experience that highlight the above. Shaj – who we adore – set up a few chats to get to know us, our dynamic, and build a joint vision for the videography. You can tell by ILS wedding videos that each capture elements unique and real to the couples personality, not just the event, and this is part of the way they do it. They were up for working with the playfulness we wanted in the videos. They did a ton of footage, and distilled it to an awesome highlights video. That being said, there were things in our mindseye that we wanted reflected and they super patiently worked with us to incorporate these. I mean, I had to have sent them 15 different requests and said for at least 10 of these “last one I promise!”. Raj in particular took the brunt of this and was so patient and kind; it’s hard not to get crazy excited seeing your wedding video for the first time and remember things after the fact or realize hey this or that person should be in the highlights video too, and what’s awesome about them is that they get that.
They get that a wedding is an emotional and special experience and they take their task of honoring you, your family and friends for real. It’s not a business, it’s a union of a couple, and that’s how I always felt with them and that’s how I feel after looking at the final product. We love it and we love rewatching our video and reliving all those many moments.
