Introduction: First of all I care. I treat every project as if it was for my own family, because any true professional should always have ownership of the production that they deliver. Also, unlike my corporate clients, this is an extremely personal, portrayal of an important day in this couple's and their family's lives. Meeting new clients with different needs and requirements and helping them realize the media production that they need while telling their unique story. I strive to exceed their expectations.

I would recommend Van over and over again!! Very accommodating and values the importance of your wedding day! Van did such a wonderful job the day of the wedding. I only remember seeing him when we first arrived and then for the remainder of the day he blended in so well that I forgot he was there. This allowed him to capture the natural atmosphere of the wedding. He placed himself so well throughout the day that he did not appear in any of my wedding photos-which is a tough task! After the wedding he created such a lovely video with wonderful music for my husband and I to enjoy for the years to come. Overall, Van was a delight to work with and I assure you he will be a great selection to choose for your videographer regardless of the occasion!

Van was a class act from day 1. He is clearly experienced, skilled and very personable. He came out of his way to meet with me and my fiancee before the wedding to explain everything and get more information about our event. On the day of, Van was early and very involved in setting up before we even started our first look photographs. He assisted our photographer in moving things for shots and filmed all the fun parts of the wedding party photographs. All in all, he worked close to a 10 hour day or more. In addition to all the time he will probably spend editing the video. Van clearly takes pride in his work and enjoys what he does. His equipment was top grade and his pricing is very affordable. I would recommend Wedding Videos by Van to anyone looking for an amazing value for fantastic quality. Thank you Van!

Van filmed my wedding March 25th, 2017 and I still do not have anything that was guaranteed to me in my contract! Every time he attempted to send me anything it was via Dropbox, which I don't have and I informed him of that and that I needed it to be sent to me in a different format such as Google drive and he never responded. I downloaded Dropbox previously and watched the clips he has sent me only to see that he didn't have sound aligned with the video and had edited out so many key parts, such as my father's and sisters' toasts, and the first reaction of my husband when he first saw me at the ceremony-which I had specifically requested he capture when we discussed details before the wedding. There isn't any more room in the free version of Dropbox to view anything else, and I'm not willing to pay extra money for footage I should have received almost a year ago because he hasn't withheld his contract! The contract states I should have received my DVDs with the highlight reel and custom cover art within 6 weeks of the wedding!! He also guaranteed all of the raw footage on an external hard drive, none of which I have received!! He is impossible to get in touch with!! I saw his response on somebody else's negative review defending his delayed work due to giving the bride a "discount", which is an absurd excuse because he was hired from this website by the bid HE SUBMITTED and signed a contact with somebody for!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR PRECIOUS TIME OR MONEY ON VAN SANDERS!!!

Just want to take the time to RE-REVIEW after we received our videos. We hired Van for our wedding day back in January and from the looks of it we were extremely happy. You know, it’s your wedding day so you want everything to be captured, everything to be on film. Not only did we receive videos that looked like they were recorded on a FLIP PHONE, he also has a horrible response time. Just a few feels ago(October now) we finally received a video AFTER I had told him how disappointed we were in the others. In one of the videos, where my husband and I are running through sparklers, you can clearly hear him screaming “KISS HER KISS HER KISS HER, YALL NEED TO RE DO THAT”. And then we had fireworks at the end and he’s yelling “oh that’s cool, oh that’s cool” the entire time. He didn’t even take the time to block himself screaming at us, out. I seriously cry everytime I watch the videos, not because of the day but because of how horrible they are. This is such a special day and for us to not have a good view is heartbreaking. It’s not like we can go back and re do it. I have had him send all of our uncut videos to me so that I can take them to someone who knows what they are doing in hopes that someone can help us get something good from these. He was also supposed to be there while we were getting ready and showed up as I was getting my dress on so he missed the entire bridal party getting ready. Your special day should be remembered, caught on camera, and able to view with happy tears instead of never wanting to see them because they’re that bad. PLEASE DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN UNLESS YOU DONT WANT ANY GOOD VIDEOS OF YOUR SPECIAL DAY!!!
