    Outstanding

    These folks are nothing short of amazing. The highlight video somehow encapsulated 9 hours of our wedding day into a 9 minute piece of art that everyone loves.
    I can't recommend Bow Tie Media highly enough.

    Excellent video production!

    We were so pleased with Bow Tie Media and the team who worked on our video for our wedding! They did a fabulous job capturing just the right moments and went above and beyond to be there for all the ceremony, the reception and then followed us to the after party as well! So many of our friends and family have loved seeing the video! We would highly recommend Sam and his team for your special day!

    Amazing Vendor!

    Bow Tie Media was excellent from beginning to end. Our initial consultation with Sam was great, he answered all of our questions and was super supportive and accommodating to make sure we would get what we wanted at our wedding.
    On our wedding day, Eric and his team were incredible. They were so organized and understanding and went out of their way to get everything we had asked for. Even when we were running behind, Eric went over what we had initially discussed to prioritize what we could do in the amount of time we had left- so helpful!!
    The final products we received within two weeks of our wedding were so beautiful. Our edited video perfectly captured our day and the photos showed the day exactly how we wanted.
    We would definitely recommend Bow Tie Media!

    Thanks, Bow Tie!!

    Sam and his team did a great job capturing our day. Sam was so patient answering all our questions about details and was easy to get ahold of. Our photographer, Armando, did a great job with the photos and wrangling our rowdy group :) We would definitely recommend Bow Tie Media to any of our friends getting married in the area!

    The BEST Photographer/Videopgrapher

    Sam and his team at Bow Tie Media were more than I could have ever asked for on our wedding day. Not only did they travel to VA but they made the whole process so smooth. The pictures and video we received were incredible and everything we wanted. Don’t look any further for your photography and videography needs, Sam and his team will make all your dreams come true!

    Videography Experience

    Our experience with Bow Tie Media and their videography services was nothing short of exceptional. From the outset, Sam, the owner, demonstrated unparalleled communication and support, providing reassurance throughout our entire planning process. His presence and guidance were invaluable, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.

    On the day of our wedding, Mykee and his assistant, our assigned videographers, were an absolute delight to work with. Their infectious energy and friendly demeanor created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Mykee's attention to detail was impressive; he meticulously captured every moment, ensuring that each part of our day was beautifully preserved. Their approach not only made us comfortable but also added an element of fun to the entire filming process.

    Videography held significant importance for us, yet we were unsure about the specifics. I entrusted Sam with their creative vision, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive coverage. Mykee and his team not only met but exceeded our expectations. They flawlessly captured every aspect of our celebration, delivering a compilation of moments that we'll cherish forever.

    The wedding video, delivered promptly, surpassed all our hopes. The quality was outstanding, a testament to their expertise and commitment to excellence. They didn't just meet our request for comprehensive coverage; they crafted a visual narrative that encapsulated the essence of our special day, bringing to life moments we'll treasure forever

    Great experience with Bow Tie Media!

    We used Bow Tie Media for both photography and videography for our wedding. Communication with the company was great - Sam was very responsive and accommodating. We were especially grateful that he was willing to be flexible with us, as we had some different requests for the photo/video package we wanted to use. Sam and his team were mindful of our requests for the wedding day and were very professional. They were prompt and present, and even helped us stay on schedule throughout all our events (getting ready, ceremony at the church, reception timeline, golden hour, etc). The quality of the photos we received back (TWO WEEKS after the wedding - wow! Great turnaround!) was wonderful - photos were true to color, nice bright lighting - which is what we wanted (we didn't want too much editing or filtering on the photos). Moreover, the quality of our video was amazing! The audio clips from the ceremony, the music, and the video clips all worked so beautifully together, and we love re-watching our wedding day video. Sam even sent us the video and asked if we wanted anything changed about it. Overall, great service and we're so grateful we will have all these memories from our wedding day captured to enjoy for the rest of our lives!

    As always, incredible

    Bow Tie is not only professional and incredible at their work, but they are also so timely. To have your full set of images and videos in 2 weeks in unheard of nowadays. So incredibly blessed to have been able to work with Sam and Eric for my wedding!

    Bowtie Media for our wedding!

    Sam and the rest of Bowtie Media made my bridals and our wedding so much fun. The pictures and videos turned out perfect. They made sure we got all the photos we wanted and they met with us multiple times to discuss questions we had. We highly recommend Bowtie Media to document your wedding! The day goes by extremely fast. So seeing snippets of everything after the day has been priceless.

    Bow Tie Media's reply:

    Alban, these words mean so much. You and MacKenzie are a special couple, and we were truly honored to capture your big day! Best wishes to both of you.

    Definitely Worth It

    Sam is a pro. He was thorough and did a great job capturing our wedding day. Turnaround was amazing. We were watching our video just after our honeymoon wrapped. Was cool to have it then!

    Patient and Flexible

    We reached out to Bow Tie Media because their touch-ups on photos are soft and bright. I didn't want photos that were too saturated and heavy, so this style matched how airy spring time is. They made sure everything was in order considering our short notice and we made the most of the event!

    As the more anxious groom, I was shy posing for same-sex couple photos in public but they took my nervousness into consideration with patience. I appreciated them finding more quiet or secluded areas to take pictures considering how shy I was.

    Clear directions and posing ideas compensated for the bashfulness. The poses, chosen settings, quality, filters, and volume of photos was worth the value. The added service of a full length and a social media length/reel length video was well worth it too.

    I was impressed by the speed in which we got the photos and videos! I wish the photographer and videographer we worked with the very best in their careers.

    Bow Tie Media's reply:

    Hey Garrett! Thank you so much for these kind words about our team. Your wedding was beautiful and you and Oscar were such a pleasure to work with. Best wishes to you both!

    Phenomenal Service & Staff

    The people at Bowtie are some long time friends, but even with that being the case, I was still treated like an important customer that had high priority!
    They catered to my every request and even made time for small revisions once we had received our wedding video!
    With Bowtie you’ll be taken care of from the very start, to months after your wedding date! I’m super thankful we chose them and I’m even more thankful that they captured our big day exactly the way we wanted all while being professional and respectful!

    Bow Tie Media's reply:

    TJ, we're so glad that you and Morgan love your video. It was an honor to be a part of your big day, and we're so excited for the future in front of the two of you!

    Mind Blown!

    Bow Tie Media,
    I am speechless!! As a photographer and TJ being a videographer, I knew we needed to have the best of the best. I knew it was going to be good. I even knew it was going to be great! But I never imagined how FAR above great it would be. There are no words to describe what I felt watching this video.

    Tj and I both knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that you would shoot this wedding. Thank you. Thank you for pursuing this dream, this vision, this business. I can’t think of anything else to say. There aren’t enough words. Wow. Just wow.

    Mind blown!

    Thank you!

    Bow Tie Media's reply:

    Sheila, thank you for your kind words! It was such an honor to be a part of TJ's big day and celebrate with your family. I hope we get the opportunity to work together at a wedding someday!
