From the moment Kari walked into my bridal suite it was comfort at first sight. She is so easy to get along with and speak to. We were married on Saturday, June 24th (2023) @ The beautiful Black Bass Hotel in Lumberville, Pennsylvania. The wedding day started out full of rain- we made the decision we didn't care if it was pouring, we were getting hitched outside. Kari was game for that no matter what!! We had lucky wedding day rain that turned into abundant sunshine though, just on time. My husband and I had a first look as well as some private time together (at the bar) before our ceremony. Kari captured everything perfectly for that. She directed my husband and I gently throughout the day as needed. Majority of the time, we forgot she was even there! She provided us with drafts of our final wedding video, giving us the opportunity to change anything we wanted or did not. We had music options to include and she also included our special songs in our final wedding video. Her work is stellar. How she managed to include the most important moments (some we didn't even realize we'd want in either, until IN the moments and also, in hindsight) was and is pure magic! She has a great instinct for moments happening. Her editing amazed us. She collaborated well with all of our hired vendors. Her personality is spectacular. Professionalism is on point. But above those things and her talent, she was a warm, easy going, funny, patient and very comforting presence for both of us. We will hire her for other very special events in our future, always recommend her to those in search of a great videographer and are already cherishing ALL of our videos and will for years to come. We are both so glad we reached out to her and have her part of our big day, forever. Don't hesitate one bit if you are on the fence about a videographer, especially Ries Video. Top notch. Thank you so much Kari, for being a part of our day in history... and for providing us with such beautiful videos to relive the magic and such precious moments of those we love .... for years to come.

Kari was incredible to work with from start to finish. We needed a videographer fairly last minute and she moved schedules around to make it work for us.

Our biggest want was just a video for the ceremony and about the 30 minutes before and Kari was the only person we chatted with that was flexible and let us do just that instead of signing up for a bigger package.

The quality of the final product was also fantastic and exactly what we were looking for.

Can't recommend working with Kari and Ries Video enough!

Kari's video beautifully captured the essence of our daughter's wedding. Every moment - from the heartfelt vows to the joyous celebration. Beyond her technical skills, Kari was a pleasure to work with. She was unobtrusive yet managed to capture every significant moment, all while making us along with our guests feel at ease throughout the day.
We could not be happier with the final product and the memories preserved for us
We wholeheartedly recommend Ries Video Productions to anyone looking for a tarented and personable wedding videographer
