Solstice Video Productions

Solstice Video and Greg James were a delight to work with on this most sensitive of video projects. The wonderful footage of the preparation for the ceremony and the ceremony itself was beautiful. Greg's editing of the video gave us all the highlights in a powerful way that got me choked up again watching my wife and my vows. The perfect keepsake of the most important night of my life... so far. (We'll have to hire him when we have a baby on the way. ;)

Solstice Video is an amazing group of professionals who made my day memorable. They took footage of the ceremony and before and after ceremony footage and made a unique, artistically poignant memoir of our wedding day. My husband and I are so excited to share the wedding video. It was a perfect culmination of our special day. Our engagement video was also amazing. So amazing in fact that we used it to begin our wedidng ceremony. The team at Solstice Video will take the time to get to know you, to understand how you and your spouse met, and will find a way to creatively and beautifully display your love and happiness on your wedding day. I highly recommend them.

Solstice Video did wonderful job on our wedding video. My husband and I couldn't be happier. Greg and Jon did a fantastic job at capturing the day. We would recommend Solstice Video over and over. We really enjoyed the edited/cut version. To be honest it brought tears to both of our eyes. The uncut version was also fantastic. Jon was able to get footage of all our guests which was so nice because we weren't able to get that from our photography. We are so pleased.

I would definitely recommend Greg as a wedding videographer!! His wedding packages were the best value out of others we looked into. His documentary style makes the video more unique and stylized, less cheesy than many others we have seen. Greg is a great guy, put me at ease, I hate being in front of a camera!

Before I even began to plan my wedding i had seen a wedding video done by solstice video from a Friend and i knew one way or another i was going to find a way to afford this for when i would someday get married. Well that day obviously came and I AM SO THANKFUL for Greg at Solstice Video. The wedding video to me is the best investment because it is the only thing besides pictures that you can go back and watch and remember your wedding day. Greg is amazing, professional, easy going & was the perfect fit for our wedding. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and had such great ideas. When i finally recieved the video i was amazed at all the awesome angles he had gotten from the ceremony to the very end. He has a way of making your video personal and showing the emotion from your big day. It is worth every penny, he works so hard to make sure you love your video and i couldnt be happier. I HIGHLY reccomend you hire Solstice Video, you wont be let down.

Like most couples getting a videographer was last on our list given the fact I don't ever see myself looking good in a video and my husband feels the same way. However, I still did my research and Solstice Video was the one website that I kept coming back to due to its reviews. I wanted somebody who is good in capturing my wedding in the most artistic way. I dealt with Greg over the phone and emails. He made it so easy for me to hire him with his very positive attitude and professionalism. True to his promise, his video captured the details of my wedding and more. My husband and I watched it so many times in 2 days and we still can't get enough of it. He edited the video with great music so well that it made my parents and myself cry so many times. We get calls from friends and family who saw the video telling us how wonderful our wedding was and how well the video was done. I have awesome pictures but getting a great video from Solstice for your wedding is totally different and it is definitely worth it.

Greg (the videographer) what so flexible with us, always kept up with emails and phone calls. He was quick with getting the video back to us and not only did we get it back fast, it was great! I was just perfect. He did such a great job! I'm so happy with the result. Not only that but we trusted him with the music choice over our video and he did an amazing job picking out the music. We basically told him what styles we liked and he went from there! He did such an amazing job and he's such a great guy on top of it. He totally understands what it's like to be getting married and is willing to work with you on anything! Megan and Nick June 11, 2011 Wedding

Greg, from Solstice Video, did an amazing job with our wedding video! It does everything a good wedding video should do; it effectively captures the day of the wedding and all of its emotions so that you are transported right back to that day everytime you watch it. It makes for a few tears and some laughs everytime we, our family, or our friends watch it. Friends that have their own wedding videos have even commented on how professional and classy our video is. Greg said he would make changes if we didn't like something, but I wouldn't change a thing! We chose Solstice video because we liked the mix of comments and music used in past videos. In the videos I viewed from other wedding videographers often the ceremony and toasts were the only things captured with audio. Greg thoughtfully interspersed meaningful little comments and conversations from the day throughout the video. In addition, he has an eye for catching the little moments without you even knowing; one of my favorites is a shot of me holding hands with our flower girl and ring bearer while we walk to the car. He has the ability to add a number of effects through the editing process, but he was very good at listening to us and using the ones that we liked best and the ones that would complement our style. His use of the old style video format and slow and fast motion were perfect; at one point he even momentarily stopped the film with the word "stop" in one of the songs. We have received many compliments on his song selections, and some of our friends have joked that they want the soundtrack. In addition, Greg also went the extra mile to make an effort to get the footage we wanted, including setting up a camera at the venue to get time lapse footage of everyone entering the reception. Anyone hiring a videographer should know that it is critical that he/she be able to work easily with your photographer. Greg worked seamlessly with our photographer, David Barss, and he even used some of David's still images in the video. By doing so he created an entirely new style that I hadn't seen in any wedding video, including his samples! It is truly amazing! Now that I have seen our video, I can honestly say that I would have given up many of those supposed "wedding requirements" to have this video. We will definitely treasure this for years to come. If you are on the fence about hiring a videographer and the extra cost, sacrifice something else and get the video; it is one of the only things that you will have left after it is all over, and Greg is so flexible and easy to work with that you won't regret it.

Going into our wedding my husband was unsure if he even wanted a videographer. He thought pictures would be good enough and that he could put them together into a "video" himself. I was given Greg's name and number from another videographer that had moved out of our state. I also checked out several other videographer's websites. We met with Greg in his studio and he told us about his experience and then showed us a video he had done for another couple. Now you think of wedding videos as a great keepsake but most people are only interested in watching it once (and lets be honest, usually just the bride and groom (or even just the bride) really get into it.) Well I have to say we did not know the bride or groom in the video but were enthralled by their story. Greg really knows how to create an enjoyable story of not only your wedding, but your life together as a couple. It is definitely a video you will want to watch over and over. In my husbands words "I was blown away by his presentation." We did not even bother meeting with any other videographers, we knew Greg was our guy. We highly recommend Greg James to create your wedding masterpiece. He was super professional and just a nice guy. He is a die hard Ducks fan and he missed the civil war to help make our day magical! Thanks again Greg!

If you want a professional quality DVD of your wedding with beautiful transitions and music, look no further than Solstice Video. The quality the provide is excellent, and they really listen to your input. Even their budget package is gorgeously done! They do not make cheesy, run-of-the-mill wedding movies; Greg and his staff are true professionals who know how to perfectly capture your big day the way you want to remember it.

My wife and I researched so many videographers and I Solstice stood out to us. I have to say I whole heartedly give them 2 thumbs up (I wish I had more thumbs!!) We got the coolest wedding video I have seen and they edited our rehearsal dinner speeches perfectly to make it fun, fast, flowing and stylistic. Coming from an entertainment background, I could not be happier with our results. I'm grateful to solstice that we will have something timeless to show our children for generations to come!

When planning our wedding, a videographer was not even on our radar or in our budget. With a photographer capturing our entire day why would we also need to re-live our wedding on video? However, it wasn’t long after making this decision that we received an early wedding gift… a videographer for the big day. After doing an exhaustive internet search we came across Solstice Video. After watching just one sample video my husband and I were totally sold before even contacting the owner, Greg James. The videos at Solstice Video were different from the rest, instead of just showing beautiful images, these videos really showed the couples’ story, which was engaging to watch. Last week, after much anticipation, we got our wedding video! To say we absolutely love it would be an understatement. We are thrilled with the shots and emotion that Greg was able to capture throughout the day… many that we had already forgotten about or missed entirely with all the emotion of the moment. He told our story perfectly! Looking back, we can’t believe we ever considered not having a videographer, especially one as talented as Greg. This is truly a special keepsake that we as a couple, and our family, will treasure for years to come!

We just received our finished, edited wedding DVD back from Greg at Solstice Video and we absolutely love it! What a magic way to re-live our special day. I was the one that really wanted a videographer and had to negotiate it with my husband for two months prior to booking Solstice...My husband thought it was a waste of money since we already had a photographer and he could not imagine watching a video of our wedding over and over again. Well, now he is so happy we did it when he saw the finished product which captured the highlights of our day in such a beautiful, wonderful way. After watching the DVD for the first time, my husband was so impressed that he said "You know what, I don't think we need to order a wedding album as that was so good and captured all the great moments better than our photographer did!" Needless to say I am getting both, but it just shows you what a great job Greg did as he converted my husband to the DVD once he saw it! My husband has not even complained about watching it multiple times in the past two weeks with our family and friends. Greg was very easy to work with and answered all my questions quickly and easily. He was prompt and listened to what I envisioned for the day and he captured exactly what I had hoped he would capture of our family and friends and my husband and I. While doing research for Videographers, I was immediately impressed with Greg's editing style. He just does not disappoint. He takes hours and hours of footage and highlights the most important special moments in 40 minutes set to great music choices. Just outstanding work... Spend the money! Trust me...worth every dollar. This will be a keepsake for our current family and my coming child (we are expecting) for decades.

Having seen their work before, we we're delighted that they were available to do our son's wedding, even coming to Spokane. They were able to capture the true feel of the wedding, and all the activities before the ceremony as well as the reception! I would HIGHLY recommend them again and again!

The video made my mom cry she said it was so wonderful I cant wait to show everyone else Greg did such an amazing job, thank you, thank you, thank you! I am so ecstatic to tell people about his great work. I am so happy and pleased with everything and glad we found Greeg to film our special day. Thank you so much! Julie and Rian

We were concerned from the start that although we loved all of the videos that we viewed by Solstice, we did not want to spend our wedding day talking to the camera. Greg was willing to modify his style to fit our needs... and what a perfect video! After receiving the final product, Greg was even willing to edit out an obnoxious guest posing as a great friend. I would wholeheartedly recommend Solstice to any bride looking for a video of superior quality as well as lifelong preservation of an amazing day that flies by in an instant.

I would highly recommend working with solstice video. They are extremely discreet & professional- we hardly even noticed they were there! The final product is amazing, it leaves you wanting to watch again. What a great way to remember your special occasion. 2 thumbs up!

We were not going to get a videographer but decided to last minute that it would probably be a good idea. We found Solstice Video about a week before our wedding and after reading great reviews we decided to book them for our wedding videographer. When he was shooting the video he was not in our face or made anyone of our guests feel uncomfortable, instead he made us all laugh as our friends told stories about how we met. We were able to pick the music we wanted in our video which added an extra personal touch, and we got our video fairly quickly. We just received our video and we can't say enough just how much we love it!! We are SO extremely happy that we decided to hire a videographer and that we chose Solstice. It was worth every penny times 10! We are so impressed at how well the video turned out and are so happy that we have this amazing video to remember our wedding day for the rest of time!! I have no complaints about Solstice and would highly recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!!

The Solistic Production provided great services!! We will use them in the future to caputre other important events. Great job!!

I loved working with Greg at Solstice! I initially was interested in him for my wedding videography after seeing a friends wedding dvd that blew the competition out of the water. After meeting with Greg I was so comfortable and excited about choosing him. He was very professional, and helped me figure out my timeline and a billion other things I hadn't yet thought of. As far as the actual day went...it couldn't be better. He was very fun to work with and captured everything. I would tell anyone planning a wedding in the NW...I've already done the research for you, go with Solstice. : )
