    The best photography and videography pair around

    If you’re looking at this review wondering if you should hire Drop To Design for your photography and videography needs, take this as your sign to send that email and hire them as soon as possible !!! We hired them for both videography and photography for our wedding in October 2022. Both Steve and Susan are an absolute pleasure to work with. They are creative and extremely talented with their camera skills, caring, and you can tell they genuinely enjoy what they do. They make the entire experience comfortable and fun. I think that’s really important, especially since the photographer, in my opinion, is the most important vendor to hire for your wedding celebration. You want someone you can be completely natural and normal around in order for the images to turn out great!! I think hiring them for both the photo and video services was a great idea, because they were able to have control over both the video/photo without having to navigate around another photographer. Although I used them for both services, I know they would work wonderfully with any other vendor hired for your wedding. If you’re on the fence about the videography portion, I would definitely recommend it. Pictures are great, but something about being able to rewatch one of the most significant days of your life replay years from now makes the investment completely worthwhile. The best decision you’ll make for your wedding is to hire Drop to Design!!!

    Highly Recommend!

    Highly recommend Steven as a videographer. So professional and had tons of tips for the ceremony and reception. Even though he hadn't been at our venue in a while and hadn't worked with our photographer before, you couldn't even tell. Our videos are priceless and we'll have great memories for a lifetime!

    Drop to Design Studios's reply:

    Aww, thank you so much. We had such a blast at your special day! We wish you all the best in your next chapter.

    I actually won a free engagement session through a Facebook contest with Drop to Design. Even with this shoot being at no cost, Steven and Susan were just as flexible and accommodating as I would have expected--or even more! We ended up with several wonderful pictures and we we're able to use one for our save the date. Our wedding photos are being done by a friend, which was already in the works before this (Steve knew this still catered to us) otherwise we would have definitely considered Drop to Design!

    Hi my name is Victoria Hankins and I used drop to design for my wedding because I won a free bridal shoot with them at a bridal show. When we did our consultants for that we were so impressed we decided to use them for the whole wedding. I don't think I can put in to words how amazing they were. On top of being amazing photographers Steven, Susan and thier little boy are amazing people. I don't know what I would've done is Susan wasn't with me while the girls were getting ready. My MoH was getting upset because I wanted the wedding outside like we planned cause it was drizzling out side and it looked like it would go away pretty quick in the radar but she wasn't having it she fought everyone even my sister in law to be chewed her out and still that didn't shut her up. But all my vendors and especially Susan and Steven were pushing for what me and Zach wanted and that meant the world to me. They even got this wonderful shot that I will treasure forever of the clouds opening up to blue sky right before the ceremony. I'm so glad they Steven got that photo. Susan was with me and I was just starring of into the distance when she smiled and pointed for me to look out the window as the sky was opening up. They were super felxible things got switched up alot my dad didnt come, my step dad did, but had to leave early cause 4 of his friends were in a serious crash so he needed to get back. They just rolled with it and made sure I got pictures with him and pictures of my dance with him. With all the bumps in the road they still did more than we could've ever hoped for. They were even there until we went to bed to make sure we got shots of everything that we wanted. This was very good because me and my husband forgot to get one of our new rings on our hands during the photos due to the crazyness. They are amazing and I will recommend them to everyone I can . I mention all the stuff that happened just to show how amazing they are. I hope to use them again when I have kids.

    Drop to Design Studios's reply:

    Vicki, I can't tell you how honored we were to capture your wedding. I knew the clouds were going to clear up and you were going to have the outdoor wedding you had envisioned. Working on your photographs it's beautiful to see the love you and Zach share and I hope your album will bring you years of future smiles as you remember the memories.

    Steven and Susan were great! They were very easy to get in touch with for all our planning needs. They viewed both our church and reception venues prior to the wedding day. On the day of the event, they managed to get some great shots, despite us losing power during our ceremony. They did a nice job getting our large families to cooperate for family photos, and kept a low profile during the rest of the ceremony and reception. The photos took only a few weeks to complete, and we are very happy with the product.

    Drop to Design Studios's reply:

    Susan and I loved your wedding. Your family and friends were so kind and easy to work with. Congratulations again from us and thank you again for letting us be a part of your story.

    Steven and Susan were amazing! We did our engagement photos and wedding photos with them! They worked with our crazy schedules and made it easy and fun! When I had to cancel my bridal portraits because I had emergency surgery 1 month before the wedding...they came to the venue early to get my pictures that day! After the obligatory posed pictures, we didn't even know they were there! They made our wedding day so easy by coordinating with the DJ and the venue. Steven made sure to keep in touch throughout the planning process and helped us with our timeline for the big day! They made sure everything was planned and helped us remember things that we would have forgotten or never thought of! The final product is amazing and we love sharing it with everyone! Every photo was editted and looked wonderful! Thanks guys and great work!!!

    Thanks so much, we love you guys! It was a great day and you two were so beautiful together.

    Steven and Susan are truly one of a kind. They were not only professional, wonderful to work with, took time to listen to what we wanted and made it happen (even if that meant Steven taking a group wedding photo atop a 15 foot ladder!) but they were also wonderful people with a passion and talent for making anyone feel beautiful. I only wished we had gotten them to do cinematography at our wedding as well.
    They respond quickly, are very flexible with their schedule and were early to every session we had with them.
    You will NOT be disappointed!

    Drop to Design Studios did an excellent job with our wedding! From our initial meeting up until the wedding day, they were easy and enjoyable to work with. Their services did not interfere with the ceremony or reception, yet they seemed to have captured almost every detail on our video! They quality of our video is wonderful. I highly recommend Drop to Design!

    We were very pleased with Drop to Design Studios. From the day we had our consultation to the day we reviewed our album, there was nothing but satisfaction received. I would recommend them to everyone I know. My pictures were fabulous and I am speachless about my cinematography. They didn't miss ANYTHING!!!!!! Steve and Susan and their crew were awesome...not even the rain on my wedding day stood a chance.

    Hey Steven and Susan,
    Mosey and I were up in Connecticut last weekend and picked up our copy of
    the wedding video from Meghan. This morning we had the opportunity to
    finish looking at all of it and I had to drop you a note to tell you how
    pleased we were with the final product. So many memories came flooding back
    and it was great fun reliving that wonderful day. We especially enjoyed the
    "Memories" compilation at the end...the editing was superb and it certainly
    delivered on the "memories".
    Thanks for a wonderful record of Meg and Nick's great day...we will cherish
    the memories even more so given this outstanding video.
    Mark and Mosey Leckie

    Drop to Design did a great job. Steven and Susan are prompt, responsive to questions and ideas and dedicated to making the video a true representation of the bride and groom on their wedding day. We loved the interviews with family members and the first-dance, first-kiss moments. The summary at the end provides a tapestry of the day--set to music that's meaningful to the bride and groom-- that makes their work a piece of family history. It was so much fun to watch the video and relive the day. We considered this one of our best wedding investments.

    Steven and his wife were fabulous! We decided to do a video last minute and it was the best decision. They were so on top of everything, met me for a walk through of the location, always responded quickly to my questions, and the final product was excellent. We had a very traditional Jewish wedding and they were able to capture every moment perfectly. We are so incredibly happy to have our special day on tape so we can always remember it.

    We had so much fun with these guys! Originally I was looking for the absolute cheapest out there but after comparing Drop to Design with some others, the difference was just amazing. They are so SO much better than the others I looked at. For us the three most important things were the marriage, the photos and the video. Because when it's all said and done that's all you have left. You'll have each other and your memories of that day. Drop to Design and Steven did a perfect job of helping us preserve those memories. On top of that Steven is a super fun guy. He's funny and friendly and encouraging. Just great. We loved the whole experience with them.

    We couldn't have asked for a better team. They asked all the right question before our wedding to get exactly the pictures we wanted, plus they had the creativity and artistry to take amazing shots that we didn't even know we wanted, and loved! They made us feel completely comfortable and happy the entire day. They were flexible with our unusual, day-long schedule and even went above and beyond our expectations. They were a true pleasure to work with all around: true professionals and a talented team! We fully intend to use them for our family portraits from now on.

    Steve and Susan were THE most incredible photography/videography team I have ever seen at a wedding. They worked so hard and did such a good job. Everyone attending the wedding commented on how impressive they were. I would recommend them without hesitation to everyone and anyone in Richmond who is in need of a photographer or videographer and to top it all off, they are ultra kind, supportive, creative, talented, and professional. I cannot say enough great things about Drop to Design. We are 100% thrilled with everything that they did before, during and after the ceremony at the reception!!!

    Steven and Susan were the videographers at our June 23, 2012 wedding, and we were so happy with our experience working with them. I had looked at a lot of videographer's sites, and spoken with a number of companies before deciding to go with Drop to Design Studios. After seeing examples of their work, reading testimonials, and speaking with Steven, I knew they were the best choice for us. Leading up to the wedding, Steven was a pleasure to work with, making sure that he had all of the details needed to cover our day in the best way possible. He even went so far as to spend a couple of hours at our rehearsal on the day before the wedding, which helped make us so much more comfortable for the big day. He and Susan were an absolute pleasure to work with on the day of the event, and were there to capture all of the best moments without being intrusive in any way. We can not wait to see all of the footage from our big day, as we are sure it is going to be wonderful!
