liverables were just perfect. Our events were at 2 of the grandest venues in NYC (620 Loft & Garden and then Gotham Hall) and they captured both the grandeur of the venues and the significance of our celebrations.

ay and made us feel like reliving our wedding again. What is even more amazing is the love story he made for us, which turned out to be a blast on the wedding day and impressed all of our guests. Many of our guests remarked our wedding as the best wedding they have ever had and the love story was "so unique" and they "have never seen something like that"! I would highly recommend Jimmy as your wedding day videographer. He is not only patient and always catering into your needs, but also highly talented in storytelling with film-like artistic angels. I have no doubts that if you use him, he will turn your wedding day and your love story into a real-life film that leaves you beautiful memories that are worth life-long recall!

If you are in NY/NJ area, don't look elsewhere, Jimmy and Alice are the best! They are beyond amazing! I'm a videographer myself, truth to be told, I had checked out lots of NY/NJ...
wedding videos, and Jimmy's work impressed me the most. We had a very unique location so we wanted a talented and experienced videographer to shoot. How lucky we are to have Jimmy and Alice film our wedding! They shot everything so beautifully. It was not just their years of experience, but also their creativity and eye for photography that make their work consistently great. We are blown away by all the footage they filmed! Apart from their skills, they were truly a pleasure to work with.

made our day SO special! The quality, editing, creativity, and the fact that the video really told the story of the day in such a perfect way, was amazing. They were like "fly on the wall" and there is no better way to explain it. They captured all of our intimate moments. The finished product is very professional. I love watching our wedding video. Totally worth the investment.

He was able to get us a package that fit our needs and budget. We were in touch throughout the planning process and even the production of the film. We were able to choose songs that were meaningful to us to use in the film, which made it so much more special.
We love LOVE both our short and full length films. They really capture the day and allowed us to experience moments of our guests we weren't there for. We've gotten so many compliments on the films and are so glad we decided to hire a videographer and go with Drama Life Films!

Jimmy and Alice are amazing talented at what they do. We chose them almost immediately after we were engaged and knew instantly they were the vendor for us. Their portfolio speak...
s for itself. They have an eye for capturing the best moments and compiling it into a moving film of the best day of your life. We shared our highlight video with friends, family and co-workers and everyone commented about being in tears because it was so moving and beautiful. Our full video felt like a hollywood movie of our wedding day capturing all the best moments while catching all the little things your too busy to see on your day. They were so accommodating with us and you barely knew they were there the day of. Also, we got our highlight video and full film so quick only about a month and a half after our wedding! They are both so talented and created an amazing piece of history for us to share with our children. I'm so happy with the finished product and cannot recommend them enough!

I am so glad I booked them!
We just got our videos and we are obsessed!!!
I gave him songs I wanted for the videos and how I wanted it to start out and he listened to everything!...
Jimmy (our videographer) and the second shooter arrived on time. I really didn't notice them or my photographer the rest of the night unless we were doing specific shots. They worked well with our photographer and overall.
We keep watching our videos over and over because we're just in awe. Worth every penny!
If there's one thing you shouldn't mess around with is
your videographer, photographer and food!!!

I am the mother of the bride. We just got my daughter’s wedding video back and we are so very pleased. Jimmy at Drama Life Films has an extraordinary talent for shooting and editi...
ng. He is able to take the day’s event and make a beautiful and emotional 5 min highlight video as well as a 2 hour video that completely covered all aspects of the day. The highlight video was only 5 minutes long but it was so beautifully shot and edited that it succeeded in making me cry.
One of the reason’s that we chose drama life films was because their editing is so thoughtful that they really are able to convey the joys and emotions of the day not only through the bride and groom but all who attended. They worked seamlessly with the photographer and did not get in anyone’s way while they were shooting. After the ceremony, the bride and groom went to Central Park Conservatory to take pictures. A park official told them no professional photography and equipment allowed. This didn’t stop Jimmy! He proceeded to take out his IPhone and shot everything he wanted with the IPhone instead of his video camera. The results were wonderful! So happy that Jimmy was a quick thinker and didn’t let the rules deter him from filming. We are so happy that we hired Jimmy and Drama Life Films! We have a beautiful and emotional highlight video that we can send to out friends and family and we have a 2+ hour full day video to remind us of how glorious the wedding day was! Lastly, Drama Life Films was extremely great value for the quality that we received. I shopped around quite a bit for a videographer and many of them are very pricey. Drama Life was very reasonable and the quality and product that we received was priceless!

are that we chose Jimmy and his team to capture our big day. My husband and I live in Texas but got married in NJ. Even with this obstacle, Jimmy made everything very easy. Throughout the day, Jimmy and his team captured all their shots very quickly and honestly felt like they were flies on the wall but somehow managed to capture every single moment. I am in awe how stunning our highlight and full video turned out. Seriously, been watching the videos on repeat. Amazing work!! I would recommend Drama Life Film to anyone.

I would highly recommend Jimmy and his team to any bride or groom looking to have their celebration captured on video. Thank you, Drama Life Films!!

back from the beginning as we were having a hectic day. We knew that they would do a great job for our trailer but we didn’t expect it to be so mindblowingly amazing! Everyone can’t stop giving us compliments and other past bride friends have even said they wish they used Drama Life for their wedding instead. We feel so lucky and grateful and will treasure this for a lifetime. Thank you guys for being the eyes that we needed for our wedding and capturing such beauty that we would of never seen through ourselves or even our wedding pictures. BOOK THEM. You will be eternally grateful!

music, the footage ... the entire wedding experience was captured.
Our video has surpassed what we can have imagined and it immediately took us back into the emotional and joyful day we had. Jim has an unbelievably creative eye, taping details that would have gone completely unnoticed had it not been caught on film.
Thank you so much to the full Drama Life Film team for taking the time to perfect these keepsakes. There is something special about video that cannot be captured by photographs. You helped us relieve our big day! You were all so nice and professional and I could not recommend your services more!

I wasn't sure if I wanted a videographer for our wedding since I didn't know how useful it will be. Boy was I wrong, our wedding day went by so fast we probably missed half of the ...
whole it event. My husband and I are so happy that we did decide to get a videographer and went with Drama Life Films. From the minute we hire them they were very responsive and answered any questions I had. I dealt with Jimmy and he just great to work with. the day of the wedding Jimmy and Alice (his assistant) showed up on time, well dressed and ready to work. Jimmy stayed with me while Alice went and capture my husband getting ready. During the ceremony and reception they were both invisible which was great since they capture every detail without being in the way. Two months after our big day we received our trailer and video and we were completely wowed. The work they did was amazing, they were able to capture all of the details and the most important part was our true personalities and love. We are obsessed with our videos and cant stop watching them. If you need a videographer then don't hesitate to go with Dram Life films.

I stumbled across this company by coincidence, while perusing hundreds of social media pages and websites online for wedding videographers. I didn't know exactly what I was looking...
for, I honestly didn't even know if I would book a videographer at all... but when I came across Drama Life, their videos stopped me completely in my tracks because somehow it hit everything I never knew I needed - amazing production quality, smooth transitions, and a truly cinematic feel in capturing this special day. These guys are truly talented. My favorite part was that all of the important parts you want to savor from your wedding day is played back in slow motion - the special moment you walk down the aisle with your father, the first kiss, the speeches and toasts - because it's true what everyone tells you, the actual wedding day goes by SO quickly! So I'm glad that I have these videos to forever remember our wedding. They also did an amazing job capturing the surrounding scenery with drone footage (which I didn't even realize was going on!). The people I shared my wedding highlight video with have told me how amazing it is, and how it could be a REAL life legit coming-soon-to-theatres-near-you! movie preview. Jim was also a pleasure to work with from start to finish - that day I came across his work, I stopped looking for other videographers and I asked to book immediately. I was so happy when they were available on my wedding day, the price was more than fair for the high quality of work you receive. I booked two shooters, and that was nice too because my husband and I got to see the 'behind the scenes' part of each other getting ready, during the morning before our first look. Jim was clear and promptly communicative at every step, and even went the extra mile to come scope out our venues with us months beforehand so he would be ready on the big day. That is the type of dedication and attention to detail I really appreciate, and trust me future brides - you'll be thankful for any vendor who goes above and beyond for you too. So if you want to be the star of your own feature film on your most special day, don't hesitate to book with this team. Thank you so much Jim for your hard work in capturing our memories, it was such a pleasure working with you :)

My fiance and I were searching for a videographer for our wedding day and came across DramaLife Films. What captured our attention was the cinematic quality that his videos offered...
and the fact that he shoots in 4K which was a huge selling point for my fiance. DramaLife was able to offer us a great package that suited our needs. Jim was quick to respond to emails whenever I had questions and helped troubleshoot when my venue didn’t have the technology to accommodate. On the day of he brought an 84 inch projector and wireless sound system to ensure that the viewing quality of the highlight reel was top notch! Fast forward to the wedding day, Jim and his crew were on time and with my fiance and I every step of the way. Jim edited the highlight reel for us during the reception, and his crew continued to shoot the reception without missing a beat. When we finally did the viewing we were blown away by the cinematic quality! The drone shots were amazing and he was able to capture the beauty of the venue as well as my long veil. Our guests are still raving about the highlight reel! We can’t wait to see the final edit on the wedding video. If you are looking for outstanding service to blow your guests away, Drama Life is the company. We highly recommend them!

Drama Life Films captured our wedding day so beautifully. They made our wedding day so much fun with every shot they filmed and created an incredible wedding highlight video for us...
to relive such a special day in our lives! Guo, Alice, Spike and the rest of their film crew have an eye for the smallest creative details and highlighted these in our wedding video ( I'm glad they did because there were many details and moments that I didn't notice on the wedding day!). If you're debating getting a wedding videographer for your wedding day, Drama Life Films is a must. They were on time, very responsive and so much fun to work with. Thank you so much for capturing our big day!! ❤️
