The Dear Darling Experience
What comes To Mind When You Think of a "Wedding Videographer"?
A distant relative (a.k.a. “Uncle Bob”) who brings along an ancient camcorder to your ceremony and stands in the aisle, blocking the view for the rest of your guests? A crew of socially-awkward dudes wearing black t-shirts who don’t say a word the entire day? Someone who is unaware of their surroundings and prevents your wedding photographer from getting the important shots they need?
You're not alone.
Let’s be real for a second: there are a lot of bad videographers out there. We’ve spoken to so many couples as well as wedding vendors who have shared their wedding videographer horror stories with us — and it truly breaks our heart. When done right, wedding videographers should be enhancing your wedding day experience, not hindering it.
Let us tell you why we are NOT LIKE THE WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHERS THAT YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT:
1
Our camera operators and video editors are all women between the ages of 20 and 26, allowing us to relate to our brides in a way that so few wedding videography teams can. Our superpowers include knowing all of your best angles, helping you put on your wedding dress, and crying alongside you as you read that heartfelt letter that your soon-to-be hubby wrote for you.
We're an all-female team.

“Dear Darling Films has made quite the impact on the Ottawa wedding industry. You guys - it’s NOT easy to come by video teams that work seamlessly with photographers. We worked together last season and I cannot believe how talented and professional this woman is!”
We work with your wedding vendors, not against them.
When wedding vendors work as a team, real magic happens. That's why we reach out to your photographer, DJ, and occasionally your wedding planner weeks ahead of your big day to fully understand your itinerary, understand how each vendor operates, and to ensure that we are all on the same page.

We dress to impress.
We consider ourselves to be members of your wedding party, so we always ensure that we dress the part. We even ask you what your wedding colours are so that we can blend in!

We're non-intrusive.
We are simply there to document the real, authentic moments between you and your boo. We promise to never ever pose you or make you do anything that doesn’t feel natural. At times, you might not even know we're there!
“One thing I especially wanted to note was how discrete you both were! It is crazy how many intimate moments you captured, yet we didn’t feel the cameras looming over us! We really got to just enjoy our day and it didn’t feel like a performance. I would highly recommend your services and I can say to any future brides out there, you will not regret your decision!”

We're legit.
We’re insured, we use contracts, and we clearly communicate our process upfront. We've passed Transport Canada's basic pilot exam to fly our drone. What you see is exactly what you get with us, and there are no hidden fees.
"From the get go, Natasha demonstrated excellent communication, professionalism, and organization. She laid out in fine detail what to expect in the preparation leading up to the day, the day-of execution, and the post-wedding production - and exceeded our expectations time and time again."
