    Hire these people. They’re awesome!

    My wife and I hired Aderyn Productions to capture our wedding with both still and moving pictures.

    We loved Aderyn’s online portfolio much more than any other vendor’s; they still managed to exceed our expectations. The wedding videos on their website captured very intense and personal emotions. We knew these videos could represent their most exceptional work, but we had an even stronger reaction to our own video. It was amazing. It told a beautiful story of our perfect day.

    Garrett and Jill were wonderful to work with, as was their assistant Jared. They were relaxing, attentive, and helpful. They stayed out of the way but still managed to be easy to find. Their website mentioned they aspire to be ninjas, but it failed to mention they are really agile ninja monkeys who climb into whatever strange places will get them the best shots.

    Their site reads like they’re laid back and easy to deal with. They exceeded our expectations on that front as well. Their contract was the clearest and shortest we signed, and all our interactions with them went smoothly.

    With one of their more expensive packages and some add-ons, this did represent over 20% of our wedding budget. However, what they provided was well worth the price.

    We already mentioned loving the video they produced, but their photographs were amazing as well. After we had a few days to soak in all the cell phone pictures from our guests, Garrett delivered the first round of photographs. If there’s a better way to see the value of their work I don’t know it – it’s too bad that isn’t an easy thing to advertise.

    We had a fairly unique and very colorful wedding, and they did a great job of capturing our personalities and the bright and joyous tone we wanted the day to have. The pictures look even better than the event itself did.

    Their work is amazing and we couldn’t be more pleased. If you choose Aderyn we’re sure you’ll feel the same.

    The photos and video Garrett and Jill took of our daughter's wedding are absolutely stunning. They didn't just capture images of the day, they captured the entire "feel" of the day. That, in my mind, is what puts them in a league of their own. They are more than highly skilled photographers/videographers -- they are artists. They are also professionals in every sense of the word and a joy to work with. Hire them for your event -- you'll be glad you did!

    Garrett with Aderyn Weddings is phenomenal. He did a 'Couple's Story' for us and I cry every time I watch it. Not only is the quality of the video incredible, but it captures our relationship and romance and friendship perfectly. I went with them knowing it would be great, but they exceeded my already high expectations. He communicated immediately whenever I had questions or concerns, and worked with the vision I had hoped for as well as what he felt would work best. In the end he even pulled together our photo slideshow from our growing years and attached it to the couple's story video so we could easily run the entire DVD for friends and family to see. He went above and beyond, and I am so thrilled with the finished product.

    Garrett of Aderyn is an amazing artist that created for me a tear-jerking, smile-inducing, memory-capturing video - and that was just the trailer! Unfortunately, my other videographer cancelled on me 10 days before my wedding. Even with the added stress this situation caused me, I am overjoyed that I ended up with Garrett filming my wedding. He was the perfect professional, always had a smile on his face and was able to capture everything while blending into the scene all at the same time. He worked seamlessly with my other vendors and was very easy to be around. I am so glad he was part of my wedding day and would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone getting married!

    My videographer backed out on me 10 days prior to my wedding and thus I was in a stressful and anxious state trying to find an available, high-quality, experienced replacement. Garrett of Aderyn was a God send. He talked me through what he could offer me at such late notice and he made me feel excited about my wedding day. On the day he was a wonderful professional. Honestly, half the time I didn't even notice he was there (which is what you want really on your wedding day!). Yet when I just received my wedding trailer I was brought to tears with the subtle beauty he captured our special day. He is a detail orientated master and his work is beautiful. He worked easily and respectfully with all of my other vendors which was very appreciated. In the end, I think it was a lucky twist of fate that brought me to Aderyn (ok, I could have done with out the stress!) - but I am so very glad that Garrett filmed my wedding day! Their work is incredible, you will be happy you had them their on your day too.

    Garrett and Jill were incredible. From the engagement photos to the wedding day itself they were flexible and fun to work with. They truly made everything effortless for us. Their expertise and warmth not only made an amazing and fun experience, but created breathtaking pictures that we will cherish forever.

    We are so glad we chose Aderyn as our videographer, based on a co-worker's recommendation. Garrett was respectful, responsive and delightful through the entire filming process. He was also a bit like a stealthy ninja when filming our wedding. In fact, most of our guests didn't even realize we had a videographer. We are happy with our final product, as are our families and friends. If you want a non-intrusive, fun, professional videographer at an exceptional value, check out Aderyn.

    Hire Aderyn productions!! Without a doubt, the video from Garrett and Jill at Aderyn Weddings is the best thing we spent our money on for our wedding. From the initial meeting to the delivery of the final product, they were helpful, friendly, professional, and a joy to work with. At first we were concerned that with both photographers and videographers we would look like faux-celebrities...but no problem!! The filming was NEVER invasive, yet they managed to capture the most amazing moments. Now that special day is over. The flowers are gone, the food was eaten, and the dress is in storage...but the memories of that great day are forever saved in a BEAUTIFUL way, thanks to Aderyn Productions!!

    Jill was amazing to work with! She took into consideration the shots that I wanted, she was very flexible and patient. I never felt rushed. Our photos turned out beautiful! Jill is very talented in knowing the right angles, lighting, etc to make sure you are captured at your very best! I would highly recommend Aderyn to anyone!

    Recomiendo 100% a nuestros fotografos, toda novia sabe lo que quiere el dia de su boda y, una de las principales cosas es un buen fotografo que documente todos esos momentos especiales que van a surgir a lo largo del dia.
    A pesar de que la boda fue en Espa;a, hicieron un trabajo excelente, captaron todos esos momentos que ni yo sabia que estaban sucediendo.
    Gracias a su profesionalidad, buen caracter y que ambos hablan espa;ol e ingles pudieron hablar con todos los invitados y asi tener recuerdo de todos.
    Su creatividad ha hecho que tengamos un video espectacular y unas fotos increibles.

    This couple were fantastic! right from the booking process where they were very flexible to our requirements and budget, pre wedding they were in contact and ensured perfect planning. On the wedding day they couldnt have been better. We had some crazy older family members that tried to tell them how they should do things and they dealt with him perfectly!
    I have been at many weddings recently, Sisters, cousins etc and have been closely linked to the photographers so i knew what to expect. Garret and Jill completely blew us away! iI am English and my wife is Spanish. they speak both languages so were able to communicate with all wedding guests which was a great help!.
    The pictures that they were taking were of the highest quality. They had new ideas all day long that gave us photos that we will cherish forever! I love showing the photos to friends because they always respond "wow i have never seen that done before" or "I wish i had photos like this for my wedding!" Not only was there work exceptional but they as individuals were great fun to work with. We forgot to set table and places for them ( big oops) they said nothing, quietly found chairs and happily sat on the kids table! We both felt really bad but they made it as little a problem as possible.
    Towards the end of the day they both come up to us and said if we wanted now would be a perfect time to go outside and take some pictures as the sun was going down and advised it would create some beautifull photos They were right! the results were lovely.

    I would and actually have recommended them to many people.

    And one more thing, they were both in madrid a few weeks ago and we had time to catch up and thank them for their work. My wife is 7 months pregnant and they offered to take a few shots of us and the belly. Once again it was a great experience and they did it out of the kindness of their hearts!

    From start to finish a truly 5 star performance!

    If you are looking for movie star quality, with down to earth personal, and professional service for your wedding photography or videography look no further, Aderyn productions is phenomenal!

    I used Aderyn for my wedding - for both photography and videography. Garrett personalized my wedding package to my every desire. He openly listened to ALL that I wanted (and I wanted it all), while still being within my budget - which wasn't large. He personally tailored his services to provide me with my dream photography and video while still being affordable.

    The wedding day - Garrett and Jill work together as a team getting every angle of emotion. I wanted a balance of the posed family pictures as well as candid ceremony and reception pictures, as well as video through out the entire day. They very stealthily captured all the special moments, they were very present but not 'in your face'. They are very relaxing to be around, which made for even better pictures.

    The product - BEAUTIFUL! They provided the pictures and video right on time for when they said to expect the final product. The quality of the pictures are artistic and thoughtful. I have had many friends hire a photographer for a price well over Aderyn's and have been disappointed with the product. So I waited to purchase the rights until I saw all of the pictures. I had hundreds of pictures that I wanted to develop and hang up all over my house. I bought the rights without any hesitation. The video is indescribable in it's quality and beauty. Anyone I have shown my video to are blown away, and wonder where I found Aderyn. The video is a unique memory that will always bring us back to our wedding day.

    If you haven't gone to their website, you must go. www.aderyn.com
    The wedding video trailers and photography samples speak for themselves. Any time I need a professional photographer and/or videographer, I will always use Aderyn without any hesitation.

    Great photo and video. I think the trailer they make probably the best I love. Short,touching and beautiful, easy to share with friends and families. I chose the music and they match with the video. I think I watch it for lots of lots of times. Highly recommended, especially for video.

    We loved working with Aderyn Productions. Garrett was very flexible and accommodating to our requests. Our wedding was long with a Tea Ceremony, Garret wasn’t familiar with Tea Ceremony before working with us but he got all the details and footage in the video perfectly. Garrett and Jill were pleasant to work with. They arrived on time, friendly and professional.

    We didn’t have a budget for a videographer at first but we are glad we were able to get Aderyn. Garrett worked with us to get the package we wanted.

    We didn’t get them as our photographer but they had good shots of us. We like their pictures more than some pictures from our photographers. We strongly recommend Aderyn Productions. We love watching the video and showing them to our family and friends.

    I usually never rate someone 5 stars across the board, but Garrett truly deserves it. He worked out a custom bid for us that we could afford and didn't mind all my questions (he took the time to really talk to me on the phone for a good 20-30 minutes). He was always super responsive when I emailed him. We had to postpone our wedding, and the new date was on a Sunday in the summer. He wasn't thrilled about working on a Sunday but still did it for us, which meant so much to me. The video turned out great. Just what I wanted, with the full-length ceremony and being sure to focus on the guests as well as us. I never even noticed him on the wedding day, but somehow he seemed to be everywhere, getting all the right moments. Several people commented how much they loved the reception footage. Afterwards, he got us the DVDs super fast, and the quality was great. He even emailed us to suggest redoing the cover art, as he had inadvertently used a screen shot instead of a JPG, but I didn't even notice or mind, it looks fine just as it is.

    Once again, highly recommend.

    Garrett's photos were absolutely amazing. We knew he would take beautiful shots but when we saw the pictures for the first time we were thrilled! We have also had many positive comments from people about how beautiful they look.

    One thing I particularly appreciated from Garrett was his low-stress approach to his photography. For example, some of our family members were a little stressed out on the day of the wedding and worried about getting the right people in photos, and other little concerns. He was extremely calm and understanding of their concerns. Still through all this he was efficient with time and everyone was happy.

    Garrett was super easy to work with and he has a very good eye for artistic photos and poses. He not only offered his own great ideas but was also very accommodating for parents, grandparents, and friends who wanted specific poses. We strongly recommend him as a photographer to anyone who wants high quality pictures.

    We were SO pleased with the quality pictures that Garrett took for us for our wedding. Everything turned out exactly the way I was hoping it would; he even went above and beyond and printed out copies of pictures he had taken earlier in the day to display at our reception later that evening. We were thrilled!

    My husband and I loved working with Aderyn Productions! We are very pleased with our wedding video, and really enjoyed having Garrett with us on our wedding day. We lived out in Utah, but were getting married in Seattle. We found Aderyn on the internet, and loved the videos we saw. After talking with Garrett, I felt very comfortable that he knew exactly what we wanted in our wedding video. And the price was also very reasonable.

    On the day of the wedding Garrett was very prompt and professional, yet SO easy to work with. He was friendly and didn't get in anyones way. We received our edited wedding video in a very reasonable amount of time after the wedding and we LOVED it! (I actually enjoy watching it more than looking at the pictures from our wedding day.) Thank you Aderyn for capturing our special day!

    It is good to have a reliable guy who has the experience to be completely self-sufficient. I was so busy with the wedding itself that having to direct someone on what to shoot and where to be would've been really problematic. Fortunately, Garrett has the know how to get things done on his own, with a professional and courteous demeanor to boot. Some guests at the wedding even commented the next day how nice of a guy he was.

    I hired Garrett from Aderyn as a VERY last-minute wedding videographer, and he really came through. I was trying to keep costs low since I squeezed this into our budget very late, but I wanted to have some kind of tricky audio stuff recorded for posterity.

    Garrett went out of the way to coordinate with my DJ and make sure all the systems were on track to record some slightly hard-to-capture moments. He also coordinated with my friend who is doing all the video editing work, and went out of his way to make sure his equipment and file type met her needs.

    Garrett was prompt, friendly, fun, and is even putting together a customized highlights clip as a bonus! He also sent me an MP3 of the song my composer friend had custom arranged, which he caught while our string trio was rehearsing -- it was a better-quality clip since you can actually hear it instead of just people clapping/yelling during the actual ceremony, so it's a really nice bonus for us to revisit.

    All in all, Aderyn was affordable, flexible, responsible, and showered us with little bonuses -- totally a great blend of exactly what we were looking for! I would highly recommend these guys for any wedding!

    This is an amazing person to work with. My family has now hired them for two weddings, and each one has been perfect. The quality is extremely good and everything goes very easy. They ask for your input and make everything to your liking. I strongly recommend Aderyn for any wedding.

    Garrett provided us the best service we could have gotten. He was very professional and captured our wedding in a truely wonderful way. It turned out better than we could have imagined. Great footage and the editing was fabulous!

    In addition to the great video, we were very impressed with how fast he provided us the video. He was very quick in responding and also made a few small changes we wanted within a couple of days.

    We would definitely recommend him to anyone.

    Could not begin to say how great Aderyn Weddings was to work with!!!
    In both the stills and the video, the quality of their work was/is outstanding. (I think they either photo shopped and whitened my teeth, or they had some magic angle trick for making us look better on film than real life.) They were timely in getting us the pictures. (I've a friend who waited for more than a YEAR for their photos!) and they were sincerely nice people to work with!
    I spent lots of money on my wedding; the dress was lovely, the cake tasted good, and the candles were pretty, but they only lasted for the one night. In my opinion the photography was THE best thing to have spent any money on. Every time that I see the work that Aderyn did, I'm transported back to that magical evening, AND I can share those photos, feelings, & memories with other people too! (The expensive dress that's packed away just can't do that.)
    A friend recommended Aderyn to me, and after seeing the work they did for us, I strongly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a pleasant experience and fantastic results.
