I cannot put into words how happy I am with the video that Forever Cherished(now, Style and Motion) did(and I am a total snob when it comes to these kinds of things). The two most important things to me when it came to our wedding were the photography and videography(once it’s done, that’s all you have left). I searched for so many vendors and they were just priced way out of our budget. Forever Cherished was one of the last vendors I found; they had very high quality videos, were extremely personable and professional, and had the best value. I was thoroughly impressed with them, however, it wasn’t until we received the video, did we realize what a great choice we made. It is AMAZING. Like, when I say amazing, that’s only because I can’t think of a stronger word to use. They are truly so talented(you can tell that when you have a totally botched, drunk, 12 minute best man speech that they edited down to seem like speech of the year). They totally captured our personalites and they’ve brought everyone who has watched it(including people we don’t even personally know) down to tears. It is so beautiful and so telling of our story. It is like our own personal Hollywood movie, and our friends and family(and their friends!) have all raved about how incredible it is(because it truly is THAT great). I really couldn’t have asked for anything more. You will not be sorry choosing them. In regards to the previous comment, I really don’t know where they are coming from. Shelby and Aaron were very accessible throughout the process. We got married early October and got our wedding video back the first week of February. When you are going through the footage of three cameras, each filming eight hours, and then the level of detail they put into editing the final product,(and understanding this is their livelihood and they’re offering great videos at reasonable costs), you can understand why it takes it a few months to get back. You are going to be able to watch this video for the rest of your life, so waiting 5 months to get back something of this quality, is totally worth it. Their videos:

My husband I booked Forever Cherished Productions(also known as Style and Motion) to film our wedding video. The company is owned by a married couple. Communication was okay leading up our wedding. However, two days before our wedding, I got a call from Shelby, who told me that two people I never met were going to film our wedding. She gave me only their first names and offered no apology or explanation. Both my husband and I were pretty upset, but figured there was nothing we could do about it at that point, so we hoped for the best. Our contract with Forever Cherished Productions guaranteed a 4 month turn-around time on our wedding video. We didn’t bother Aaron and Shelby until 4 months after our wedding when we hadn’t heard anything from them and didn’t receive our proof video. We emailed, we called… and we didn’t hear back from anyone. Aaron and Shelby ignored our calls and emails for a total of 7 months. I was pretty sure that I would never receive a video at all at this point and was about to file a lawsuit. This company books too many weddings and cannot keep up with their deadlines. After your wedding, they won’t return your calls and emails. They will use the excuse of «having problems with their email/voicemail» literally EVERYSINGLETIME you try to reach them. I think they think that their clients are stupid enough to believe that they didn’t get your message!) I had to threaten legal action to get their attention. We received our first video proof 7 months after our wedding. We were not impressed. It was clear that they had slapped it together as fast as they possibly could; the video itself was mediocre. We went back to them and asked them to edit out some of the duplicate footage and use some of the songs we liked. It was now more than a year after our wedding and we are still waiting for our final product… or even a response to the 15 messages we’ve sent since we got the proof. Through this process, I learned that I am not the only unhappy client of this company. They book as many weddings as they can, sub-contract out many of them to other videographers, and don’t tell the bride and groom until just before your wedding(or in some cases, not at all). They will communicate with you up until the point of your wedding, at which point you will not hear from them again unless you threaten to sue them. If you do hear back from them, they will lie to you about the status of your video. They will work on your video when they are good and ready, and in no particular order. I am aware of at least one other bride who never got her wedding video… and it’s been over two years. We finally did receive our video more than one year after our wedding, but we were disappointed with the final product and they never did make the minor song changes we requested. Dealing with Forever Cherished Productions has been an absolute nightmare and I strongly encourage you to look elsewhere for a wedding videographer. They have been operating under the Forever Cherished name for at least three years and just changed their company name to «Style and Motion». I wondered why there were no good reviews for them on theknot, weddingwire, or Unilocal.Now I know why! The also operate under these additional names: Buyer Beware! Don’t book this company!
