My husband and I hired Russ and his team for video services for our wedding. For us, video was not a super important element, but my thoughts quickly changed after seeing the results that Russ delivered. He and his team captured all the elements that were important for our day, and now I can’t imagine not having this to reflect on our amazing day. His pricing is exceptional and the quality of the work is incredible. I will say I was skeptical when he had us doing some “acting” for the shots he wanted, but those shots turned our wedding video from just any old ordinary video to a full blown story of our love. The process is completely worth it. The amount of compliments we got on our highlight video was overwhelming! Highly recommend working with Oak Creek for wedding video needs
