"In short, you guys honestly crushed it."

"I can’t even begin to express how phenomenal it was to have The Eastcore as part of our day. As someone who gets very uncomfortable when a camera is around, Jamieson and Matt managed to make us feel so unbelievably at ease. We honestly hardly even noticed cameras were there at all. They embodied the term “fly-on-the-wall”, capturing every little magic moment that you didn’t even realize happened. From getting ready to family portraits and an extra special “day of” edit for our first song, Jamieson and Matt pulled everything together and captured our perfect day. Words can’t describe they incredible job they did on our Feel Reel- distilling the energy and feel of the entire day into a beautiful video that we’ve been watching and sharing since non-stop. On top of it all, Jamieson and Matt are honestly just good people- they assisted in ways that were totally unplanned for and unexpected and were a delight to have around all day. We cannot recommend The Eastcore enough as photographers, videographers, editors, and people. Thank you for making our day magic.

Throughout the day Jamieson and Matt were extremely well coordinated and organized, even helping to direct us throughout the day when we were wedding frazzled ourselves! They were extremely prompt in response time and great with messaging. Upon meeting them in the chaos of a wedding show, their immediate sense of calm and ease were what drew us in and that feeling followed us throughout our experience with them and helped to make the day run as smoothly as it did.

As we stated before we cannot express how wonderful it was to work with The Eastcore. We have literally been beaming and have already had many family and friends discuss how blown away they were by the experience as well as asking for their contact info for their own weddings. In short, you guys honestly crushed it. We could not have asked for more. The Eastcore is the reason we will be able to fondly look back on these perfectly captured moments for years to come."
