I simply don't have the words to thank Chris or recommend him enough.

We had the most amazing experience with Chris as our wedding videographer! From the very beginning he made us feel comfortable while talking about his different packages and allowing us space to decide what worked with our budget. He traveled down to Moab for a "day before" shoot and our wedding the following day.…

I simply don't have the words to thank Chris or recommend him enough. Videography was one of my top three priorities for our wedding and I told myself going in that I needed to temper my high expectations. Chris didn't just meet them, he surpassed anything I could have imagined. He is calm, cool, and collected. Someone who kindly guides you through your day while somehow disappearing into the background exactly when he needs to. It is a rare gift to make someone feel like the main character in a romance film and Chris has it. He is a true talent and a true professional, so it comes as no surprise that he has been named Best of State videographer nine times. Chris, I cannot thank you enough and I already look forward to working with you again.

Chris was an absolute dream to work with. From the very beginning, he was incredibly attentive, uplifting, and fully present throughout the entire process. My now husband and I had been obsessed with his work long before working with him, and somehow he still exceeded every expectation we had. Once we shared our vision for what we wanted our video to feel and look like, he understood it instantly and followed through beyond what we could have imagined. He captured every moment so intentionally and brought such a positive, calming energy to the day. We couldn’t have asked for a better videographer. Chris truly brought our vision to life and we couldn’t be more grateful! If you hire him I promise you won’t regret it!

Wow. Where do I start. Chris is a genius and gave us a gift that is beyond any value I could ever put on it. He gave us magic. I attempt to think I have a decent amount of emotional intelligence, but this is absolutely incredible beyond belief. He nailed every aspect of every event, every moment, everything we had forgotten and did so with such love and passion. What a gift. I could never thank him enough. Chris is a creative genius. How lucky are we that we had the privilege to leverage your talent for our wedding. You went all in and then deeper. I love pulling the emotional aspect of everything and with this, you made it seem so easy. The time and care and emotion you put into not only shooting the wedding but the countless hours editing. To say that Chris is meticulous is an understatement. Your craft is meaningful, you’ll probably never know how many people you’ll affect by this story you created from our wedding weekend. Thank you thank you thank you for your non-stop effortless desire to create the entire weekend. I don’t know where or how you find the energy, please share me your secrets. Thank you Chris. So much love and gratitude to you.

We had the most amazing experience with Chris as our wedding videographer! From the very beginning he made us feel comfortable while talking about his different packages and allowing us space to decide what worked with our budget. He traveled down to Moab for a "day before" shoot and our wedding the following day. We had very high winds and rain on our wedding day which also led to a lot of changes in timeline and Chris was able to capture great content through it all! We recently received our full wedding video and Chris was able to make the audio of our windy outdoor ceremony sound perfect as well as putting together a beautiful video that perfectly captured our wedding day. His editing style is so much fun and makes our video feel very unique to our wedding. Make sure you reach out to Chris if you're going to need a wedding videographer!!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Chris McClain Productions. Our wedding video turned out even more wonderfully than I could have imagined, and Chris was an absolute dream to work with. No one in my family had historically had a wedding videographer, and they were confused why I felt so strongly about hiring Chris. Well, they are now all eating their words and cannot stop watching the video on repeat!

Chris and his team did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding video! We're so happy with the results and are so excited to have something to watch to relive some of our favorite moments of the weekend. Chris was easy to work with and felt like he really tried to be present and get to know us to ensure he captured all of the most important moments. We also really loved his vibe and his ability to seamlessly fit into the day to really capture everything. He was creative, professional, kind, and funny, which is why we truly enjoyed working with him and are so happy with the results. I would highly recommend trusting Chris for your wedding videography - he exceeded our expectations!

Chris is a true industry GOAT! Over a decade of collaboration with him, his immense talent shines on every wedding. His dedication to his clients is remarkable—going above + beyond to capture the perfect moments. Chris's integrity, compassion + skill create a rare + winning combination. His teamwork with other photographers (including myself) is beyond incredible. If you can secure him for your date, book quickly + opt for those extra hours; it's an investment you will never forget! So lucky to know + work with you Chris! Sarah, Sparkle Photography
