"Choosing Annear Wedding Films to film our wedding was the best decision we ever made..."
- Anne & Nachiket
"Crystal and Jonathan were amazing to work with. I found them on instagram. From the initial conversations to the execution the day of the wedding, crystal was SO GREAT. I love that she got to know us because I truly believe that made us more comfortable the day of the wedding being in front of the camera all day. Day of crystal came to see me and the bridesmaids and captured some of my most treasured moments. Jonathan then went to take pictures of my husband and captured the sentiment and fun that was happening there. My husband said it was like he was part of the group. When the wedding started we extended the time of coverage and I wanted them to stay even longer just so we could have fun with them! The teaser video, trailer and full length film was exactly what I wanted it to be. They captured all parts of our special day from the guest point of view and the BLOOPERS were our favorite part! I wish I had another big event to work with them again. Thank you!!!!"

"BOOK THEM! BOOK THEM! please read this WHOLE thing. It's worth it!
I do not have enough words to put together on how amazing Crystal and John are. From the very beginning they were always so kind, accommodating and straight forward. They offered all different kinds of payment options and were so flexible. They are BEYOND organized and thoughtful leading up to your wedding day, and their open communication was the glue that kept my husband and I on track. Also if they want to do a meet and greet do your best to meet them.
As we moved forward to our wedding day I was provided with questionnaires, emails, and kind words to help guide our wedding video. Please DO everything they send you it's for your benefit I promise! They are strictly there for YOU and your wedding party/guests. Do not forget that. Weddings are stressful but John and Crystal eased our stress. Our wedding day- Crystal and John were there before myself and my groom!!!! They were with us our entire wedding from sunrise to sun fall and late hours of the night. During wedding time please remember to try to do what they recommend or ask- again you WON'T regret it. Crystal and John are special special people, and not only did join us in celebrating the best days of our lives they became our friends and created the MOST STUNNING wedding video I have ever seen and everyone I have shown agrees and says "Wow this is amazing, their so amazing" the entire time they are watching it. IT's UNREAL and now we can relive that day everyday. We have watched it multiple times and still cannot get enough of it.
John and Crystal helped celebrate, and create the best day of ours lives, and made it extra special while joining us and becoming our good friends. Please treat them as you would wedding party/guests because they are amazing people and so talented.
By they way it took me so long to write this because I could go on forever!!!!!!"

"We ordered the the Feature Film package from Annear Wedding Films and would highly recommend them. We were unsure at first if we wanted a videographer at all, but upon seeing the finished videos, we are thrilled with our decision. We love our ~10 minute highlight film (with fun bloopers). The video and audio quality are excellent, and Crystal and Jonathan managed to seamlessly blend together chronological shots from throughout our special day, stunning b-roll of our island venue, and snippets of the ceremony, dancing, and speeches. We've probably rewatched the 10-minute film dozens times already, and it's the perfect format for sharing with family, friends, and strangers on social media. Crystal and Jonathan were pleasant, prompt, a pleasure to work with, and were excellent working with and around our primary photographer throughout the day. Crystal was very responsive both leading up to the wedding and in the months after, which was very important for an anxious bride. We are so grateful we are forever able to relive our special day and would've truly regretted not hiring a videographer. We feel very lucky that we found Annear Wedding Films." - Anna & Zack

"Annear Wedding Films is an exceptional videography company who produce nothing but the highest quality. Crystal and Jon were very friendly and easy to communicate with from the start. They simplified the planning process by discussing the options that fit best to what we were looking for. Their fine attention to detail, communication, great personalities and hard work were all qualities that stood out throughout the entire process. We were very impressed with their talent in putting together our wedding video. The audio was clear despite a windy day on the ocean! The creativity of the shots and flow of the video is second to none. It is so special to have details captured, like guests chatting and the outside of the venue, that we were too busy to notice the day of. We love having a highlight reel along with the full length video from our wedding day that capture the love, joy and happiness that everyone there experienced." - Chelsie & Chris

"Crystal was a dream to work with! We met Crystal virtually in 2020. I was very particular in what I (we!) wanted our wedding video to look like, so we interviewed a number of videographers. Crystal blew us away the first time we spoke to her. She listened to our vision and our story and presented to us exactly what we were looking for. In 2021 we decided to elope due to Covid-19 travel bans (I'm from Ireland and my family couldn't join) Crystal was there for us when we needed reassurance and she helped reimagine our special day. She was more than happy to come and help us find the perfect location for our ceremony- which by the way was at sunrise and she didn't tell us we were crazy! Crystal was at our location on the Cliff Walk in Newport at 4am ....oh it was also raining (not sprinkling more like down pouring!) Not a lot of people have that kind of commitment! Crystal created the most beautiful highlight film for us, captured our vows and the amazing views we had that morning - despite the rain! Roll on summer 2022 we renewed our vows at Castle Hill Inn and Crystal was there every step of the way. Offering advise and guidance when we needed it. I trusted Crystal with combining both our wedding in 2021 and renewal in 2022- I was not prepared for the masterpiece she created for us. We are so lucky we chose Annear Wedding films to capture our days. I can confidently say Crystal is the best person to work with- not only for her amazing personality but also for her sheer determination and dedication to each and every couple and client she works with. Thank you!!❤️"

"Choosing Annear Wedding Films to film our wedding was one of the best decisions we could have made. Crystal was very easy to work with right from the beginning. Her knowledge of Hindu wedding customs was a delightful surprise. She showed great empathy and flexibility in working with our multicultural wedding and made it a very comfortable experience for us and our families. We also loved having here there on the day of the wedding - she was so fun and easy to work with!
We are so happy to have the video to look back on, and our highlight film captured the feeling of our day perfectly. We had really enjoyed watching short films of previous weddings on their website, but our film still far exceeded our expectations. We are so happy we’ll be able to watch our video for years to come! Thank you so much Crystal and Jonathan!" - Anne & Nachiket

"Crystal was amazing. She worked with us to accommodate our needs and was such a delight to work with. She’s also such a boss: was on her feet all day, professional and sweet all while 7 months pregnant. The highlight video the team made captured the evening and mood perfectly. When I showed it to my grandpa who couldn’t be there, he was moved to tears. Highly recommend!!" - Karen & James
"I’ve been dreaming about my wedding film for years, long before I was ever engaged. But if you’re on the fence about getting a film, do it! To be able to relive the day is everything. And we saw so many moments we had completely forgotten about.
Annear Wedding Films were incredibly sweet and thoughtful all throughout the entire process! I was lucky enough to meet Crystal 10 years ago or more now and was so impressed with her work. So I knew I would be calling her up the moment I started wedding planning. Crystal and Jonathan make a great team and really went above and beyond to make our day special.
When we got the highlight film, I was in shock. I couldn’t believe how beautiful the day looked through a lens. Even our friends and family cried when they saw it. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched it since we got it!
Our venue let the guests into the reception space early before the photographer could get photos of our decorations but thanks to Annear Wedding Films, I was able to see the room setup and all the work that had gone into creating the day. Which I’m feeling really thankful for!
I guess if you take anything away from this review is that you will not be disappointed with Annear Wedding Films . They communicate well, they’re caring, kind, trustworthy and professional! You are in good hands with Crystal and Jonathan. Not that I ever plan on getting married again, but if I did I would hire them again." - Briana & Roger

"Absolutely professional knowledgeable compassionate and kind about the work they're doing. We were very hesitant to get a wedding video done and so glad we did because it has honestly captured the most amazing day of Our Lives. From the songs they picked for the video to the way they've captured all the happiness was just absolutely stunning. We would continue to recommend them to all my friends and family anyone that needs a videographer some of the best videography I've ever seen." -Nicole & Tara
"We can't stop watching our wedding video! It brought tears to our eyes. They captured all of the love and joy of the day and now we get to share it and relive it for the rest of our lives! Amazing team, amazing work." - Emily & Josh
"We had the BEST experience with Annear Wedding Films!! Our family loved them so much that my brother and his fiancé are using them for their wedding too! Crystal & her husband, Jon, were incredibly easy to work with and made the entire process stress-free. They were very accommodating and worked with us on pricing options. We didn’t live locally so they went out of their way to come meet with us while we were in town doing other wedding things. Our wedding video and social edit was beautifully done. So lucky to have this for years to come!" - Brittany & Matt

"Crystal and Jonathan were a pleasure to work with! I spent a lot of time going back and forth trying to decide if I wanted a videographer, and I’m so glad I made the choice to hire them. Crystal worked seamlessly with our photographer (Angelina Rose Photography) which is really important for videographers, you don’t want someone who will be intrusive and impact the photographer’s work. We got the highlight video, Instagram highlight, and doc style edit. Crystal was great about capturing what was important to us, we really wanted to focus on the people and not objects, and she was awesome about capturing people and emotions of the day. Crystal had her baby 2 months after our wedding, so it took a while to get our videos back, but it was worth the wait!" - Kelly & Mac

Annear Wedding Films played an integral role in capturing our wedding spirit and giving us memories that will last forever. They pleasantly surprised us, and we couldn't recommend them more. Their quality of service was impeccable. Leading up to our wedding day, they were so consultative and thorough in understanding our personalities and expectations. Even until after the events were over, they were continuously supportive and accommodating in filming our events and crafting our footage. They have a persistent, positive attitude which made working with them very pleasant. In addition, their attention to detail and creativity is astonishing. After watching their recordings multiple times, it's still emotionally gripping at how well they artistically captured all of the right moments and weaved the material together to relive the events as if it were a story. We frequently receive feedback from family and friends that watching our montages and footage feels like experiencing the magic as if it just happened. It's heartwarming to hear responses like that. We truly appreciate Annear Wedding Films for giving us such a positive experience and a beautiful recollection that we can cherish for the rest of our lives." - Prerana & Ronak

"I researched several options for videographers until Crystal and Jon were recommended to me and I couldn't be happier with my decision to book them for our wedding this past July. From the beginning, Crystal was very helpful and so easy to communicate with. She responded to my emails immediately, answered all of my questions, and provided several examples of her work to help tailor a package that was right for me. Throughout our communication and pre-wedding meet up with Crystal and Jon we became so comfortable around the two of them that it was like having two extra friends at the wedding rather than just vendors. I am so happy with the finished product. My trailer video is beautiful and I have shared it with my friends and family on social media. We also got a full length video which I absolutely love and will treasure forever!! Crystal and Jon did an amazing job of capturing every wedding detail beautifully... I highly recommend them to any bride! :) " - Kayla & Rob

"Everything was perfect! Crystal and Jonathan took their time getting to know us, what our vision was, and ensuring our wedding day went as smoothly as possible. We’re amazed at all the special moments they captured - it was truly stunning! Whether it was my wife and I getting ready, the first look, ceremony, or reception - everything was done to perfection. We’re so excited to have our video to look back on so we can relive our wedding day always! My wife and I highly recommend Crystal and Jonathan for any wedding. The Annears are phenomenal people and will make sure your video is exactly what you envisioned!"

"What can I say about Annear Productions. They are truly amazing!!! My wife and I couldn’t decide if we wanted a video; And with me working in film production I put it off thinking I could call in a few favors. Boy was I wrong! At the reference of our photographer we called Crystal and Jonathan. We met and we clicked! They understood how we wanted a video but a certain cinematic look. And man did they ever nail it. I was never big on speeches and we even tried to avoid them but the way they filmed and most important their post production edits were perfect. I have been known to watch the highlight reel while waiting for a flight and I relive our special day, and it’s all thanks to Annear Productions. Awesome people who listen understand and bring your vision and special day to video and life. Can’t thank Crystal and Jonathan enough for giving us our own little movie to watch over and over..." - Jose & Diane
"I truly could not have picked a better couple to capture our wedding day! Crystal & Jonathan painted a perfect picture of our day in our highlight film and I still cannot stop watching it. Videography was not originally in our wedding budget, but after some push from friends to pursue a wedding videographer, we found the Annear's and fell in love with their style of wedding videography. Seriously, this was the best money we spent on our wedding day and I am so glad we decided to book with them! I cannot recommend them enough! Crystal & Jonathan are both personable, easy to work with, responsive, and made a point to stay out of the way of the photographers way while still capturing the most beautiful moments. I will cherish our wedding video forever and ever, it has made our whole family cry watching it and I can't wait to show it to our children and grandchildren one day. A million thank you's to Jonathan & Crystal for their wonderful work!" - Ashley & Jonathan
"Cant say enough amazing things about Crystal and Jonathan. We loved the fact that we were able to work with a husband and wife duo for our wedding. We decided on a videographer kind of late in the wedding planning, but the Annears were so accomodating from the very beginning. They were affordable and always there to answer any questions that we had before and after the wedding. They captured every moment of our special day and our wedding video was more perfect than I could have ever imagined. So many people commented on the fact that it was the best wedding video they've ever seen. They really captured our personalities perfectly from every event from the day. We HIGHLY recommend them to anyone wanting a videographer; beautiful work and even better to work with!" - Alex and Jonathan

"Crystal is the best - she makes you feel so comfortable and really listens to you to understand your style and preferences. We are so incredibly happy with our wedding video!!!! The highlight was so amazing, friends of mine who hadn’t planned on having videography at their weddings changed their mind after seeing ours! She worked with us throughout the planning process and was so easy to communicate with. She also worked so well with our other vendors. Highly recommend!" - Ellen & Shane
