    We signed a contract with byDesign films on 11/15/21 for wedding videography on 10/01/22. The video was released to ** on 1/19/23. the project manager that was supposed to be in touch before the wedding to get details and wish list for the day never did They sent 2 videographers, 1 for drone footage & 1 regular. Once we received the video back, we realized that we got scammed. The video they gave us was awful and nothing like the videos they use for advertising. Mics didnt work - cant hear vows Bad camera angles During the ceremony the camera is on the ground angled up and a female guests crossed bare legs which is in the frame the entire time. It had the ENTIRE ceremony, speeches & 1st dances. It should be going in and out of the different parts of the day while doing voice overs from the ceremony, speeches, etc. The video was thrown together in a thoughtless and sloppy manner. It wasnt put together and edited well The camera is shakey. during the first dance, its literally the sound of the entire reception venue After we complained, their solution was have us go through and edit the video. With the footage available, a video worth $3,600 isnt possible. I couldve done a better job with my iPhone We paid the extra charge for drone footage. That drone was flying around ALL DAY LONG!!!! In fact it was a bit annoying during the ceremony. hardly any of that footage was included. After going back and forth with them for 4 months, we sent an email on 6/5/23 asking for a refund or an acceptable video of the quality of their advertising in a timely manner. They returned to us an edited video 3 months later - 9/8/23. It wasnt any better than the 1st, and they tried to fool us into thinking they got the vows by layering in someone elses voices. Communication has been HORRIBLE as you never have anyones contact info. You are given a generic email address and phone number and get passed around cause no one wants to deal with you. We just want a refund!

    I am FLOORED and EXTREMELY UPSET by this company - to the point where it feels like I'm working with a totally different team of staff!! Everything before the wedding was great - the initial consultation was informative and really sparked excitement, the web portal was easy to use, and the day of, our two videographers were awesome. The package was a bit on the pricey side BUT we thought we were paying for quality so we sucked it up and found a way to make it work.Now that the wedding is done, we are seeing the dark side of this coin. Communication has pretty much run dry. Now they are saying it's going to *********** MONTHS to get ANYTHING at all back. I could understand it taking that long for a 60 minute feature film - BUT NOT FOR A 60 SECOND INSTAGRAM VIDEO. Turns out, they don't stagger the release process, but send you everything all at once. This was not at all explained in the consultation meeting or even by the film staff on site - we were told 8 - 10 weeks!!!To make things worse, when I finally took the initiative to call and inquire about everything - the person I talked to on the phone couldn't care less. She showed no concern, and offered nothing to help - she didn't even try to make me feel better. She kept the same monotone voice the entire time and just kept repeating the same sentence: "I'm sorry, there's really nothing I can do to change anything." - I could tell that she's had to deal with this same phone call so much, she's become desensitized to it!!! She even went for long periods of time just simply not responding to my questions. I ended the phone call and burst into tears. What a disaster.Long story short - don't even THINK about using this company!!!! The cons FAR outweigh the benefits and I have so many regrets right now.
