The Candi Project

The Candi Project (Chris and Aenid) were the best vendor we dealt with when planning our wedding. From the beginning, they were extremely professional, prompt, thoughtful and honest. They listened attentively and recalled details from our conversations that I had forgot I even shared. This made such a difference in the emotional content of our video because I felt that Chris and Aenid really took the time to get to know us and what mattered to us. For this reason, we will forever have a beautiful wedding video that focuses on all the people and moments that mean the most to us. I have yet to watch our video without my eyes welling with some tears, but in my opinion that puts the quality of the Candi Project’s work far above 5 stars. I recommend The Candi Project without an ounce of reservation! They are fabulous!

When we were looking for a videographer, the search stopped once we came across The Candi Project. As I looked through the videos on their website, each one brought me to tears. It was such an easy decision and it was definitely a great one. Chris and Aenid perfectly captured all of the most important parts of the most important day of our lives. From getting ready to the ceremony to the reception, they were not invasive and never in the way. Our guests all said they didn’t even notice they were there. If you have any question about the quality of work, all you need to do is watch the video highlights from their website. We received our 5-​minute «highlights» film about 3 weeks after the wedding and the full-​length film about 1 week after that. It was exactly what we were hoping for, a beautifully edited concise «documentary» of our day. The term «best wedding video ever» has been uttered on more than a few occasions and we now get to watch how our wedding video is the one that brings everyone to tears. We highly reccomend The Candi Project to anyone who wants the best video possible for their wedding day!

I’m sure you’re reading this and wondering if all these five star reviews across the board are for real. They ARE! If having a video of your wedding is something you care even remotely about and they are still available for your date, book them immediately.
Videographers are not always considered a must-​have, like the photographer, but it’s a really great way to commemorate the day. The video Chris and Aenid created for us was just perfect — it captured us and our story, which was exactly what we wanted, was more than reasonable in pricing, and they were just 5-​star in every way: their demeanor, responsiveness, the process, and even the turnaround time — we were actually surprised to see the video as early as we did. What we most appreciated is that they were really focused on creating a superior end product; everything else was secondary to making sure that happened (and of course, to making sure we were happy throughout). With a lot of other wedding vendors you can get bogged down in all the details and it feels a little more nitpicky and about the money — for such and such amount of time you have to pay X, and if you go over in time, it will cost Y, etc. And having been through a wedding, I now know that you can predict NOTHING about that day, no matter how hard you try. But with Candi it’s all about what will enable them to get the footage they need to create their exceptional videos. Working with them just felt so genuine; they truly care about your wedding and the final product really shows it in every way. Even the end video they provided had not only the wedding highlights reel (which was what we most wanted); they even edited portions from our wedding (ceremony, tea ceremony, reception, speeches) and set them to music, like mini chapters from a movie. I wasn’t expecting to care much about anything other than the highlights video, but it’s all so fun to watch! When we watch it we feel like the stars of a blockbuster romcom that got 90% on rotten tomatoes. :)

Chris and Aenid!!! You don’t deserve 5 stars; you deserve A LOT more!!! You guys are so courteous and professional!!! The entire day of the wedding I didn’t even feel you guys around… You made me feel cool, calm, and collective throughout the day!!! Thank you ohhh sooo veryyy much for your amazing work!!! I can’t even describe how awesome you guys were!!! Keep up the amazing work!!! I would so highly recommend them to anyone!!! The photo booth that you guys also did was AWESOME!!! Our guests truly loved it and Karen (the attendant) was patient with everyone!!! Thank you for helping us make our wedding dreams come true and show it through the high quality video!!!

Words can’t event express how happy and LUCKY I am to have booked Aenid and Chris as our videographers of our July 12^th 2014 wedding.
Perfection is how I can describe their work. My husband and I received our wedding «trailer» and it was simply breathtaking. They captured small moments that I wouldn’t think were important, that made a big emotional impact in the video! I am truly amazed at how quick the turnaround time was. I received my entire package within three months after my wedding! can you believe???
They are truly gifted and I STRONGLY recommend them to anyone who is looking for professional and talented videographers.
Thank you so much Aenid and Chris for creating a master piece :)
Love
Eric and Nathaly

We are so happy to have found The Candi Project as our videographers and that we were their first NY clients.
Looking for wedding videographers wasn’t easy. We found a lot of vendors whose videos looked awfully corny or some that were good but just very overpriced. And then we came across The Candi Project and their videos blew us away; they were elegant, modern, fun, and captured big moments in such beautiful way. Luckily for us Candi just moved to New York and we were able to book them.
Aenid and Chris are amazing at what they do and understand the importance of their work. The video they made for us exceeded our expectations and we are super happy to have such a beautiful souvenir to watch in years to come. Aenid and Chris are both very sweet, friendly, professional, prepared, organized and very easy to work with. They made us feel at easy and throughout our entire wedding day (prep, church and reception) which is really important. In the weeks before our wedding they were very proactive in communicating with us, very responsive to our ideas and expectations and also explained various aspects of video making to us which was great because it helped us be on the same page and have reasonable expectations (video making is not something we know lots about so it’s good to get certain things explained such as when real audio can be used and when it cannot etc). The cool thing about Candi is that we barely noticed them around us throughout the entire day but yet they managed to capture all the moments we wanted! Their hard work and creativity really shines in their videos.
We are very happy to have found the Candi Project and recommend them to everyone looking for creative people behind a camera and a modern and elegant wedding video.
Thank you guys!

I just received my photo book for Chris and Aenid today! I literally was screaming on the front porch jumping up and down with excitement!!! I am so happy and grateful that they were able to photograph my wedding and capture it so elegantly in a photo book. It was a pleasure working with them and I could not be any more pleased with the end product!!!
I was a very nervous and high strung bride. Chris was so calm and accommodating while taking the pictures. I had a printed out list of at least 50 different combinations of family members I wanted photographed. When I saw the proofs I was so pleased and so excited but the photo book sent me over the top with excitement. It takes a very special and talented photographer to edit and present the pages this way. I have seen a lot of other wedding photo books and this is by far the most amazing I have ever seen!
I would recommend Chris and Aenid to any couple that is planning a wedding!!!

Words can’t express how amazing Chris and Aenid are!
I had decided pretty last minute that I HAD to have a videographer for our wedding (about a month prior!) — which lead to sleepless nights watching demo videos online and trying to find a videographer who created beautiful wedding highlights, was within our budget, and was still available for our wedding day!
All of which The Candi Project met, much to our joy!!! Chris and Aenid are AMAZING to work with. They met with us about a week after I had reached out to them, and communicated with us to get all the info before our big day (which was only a few weeks away at that point!).
The day of the wedding, they went to my now husband’s place first to capture him getting ready and were infinitely patient when he was very late in coming back home from picking up his best man! They then came to my place to capture me getting ready with my ladies, then rushed to the church to set up their cameras for the ceremony.
It was AWESOME having the dual team and THREE different camera angles at our ceremony. And they were with us at the reception until like an hour before the party ended — which was almost 12 hours!!! They were also ridiculously fast with the editing — our wedding was on ¹⁰⁄₅ and they sent us the link to our highlights video YESTERDAY — only 3 weeks!
I can’t stop watching our video. Everyone has cried watching it. I would not hesitate in recommending The Candi Project for any of your video/​photo needs. Chris and Aenid are AMAZING (and are super nice and sweet!!!), and we loved that they were there to capture our special day!

Chris and Aenid are very professional but they put a lot of «heart» in their dealings with clients. They’ve a got a solid team of skill and talent. Our maternity photoshoot went really well and they gave us extra time for us to exhaust all creative poses that they and we could think of. They also make sure that they know your preferences and also provide their professional opinion about them. Because they’re easy and fun to work with, we’ve had them take our photos for important family events. They deserve more than five stars!

Hands down, Chris and Aenid is the most amazing and talented videographer ever! When it comes to capturing beautiful videos, Chris is your guy. He just has a natural gift in creating an art-​like videos in the most random and unexpected places and moments. We were blown away with our wedding highlight he did for us. We just got married on July 19^th and were extremely surprised by how quickly and efficiently Chris and his team worked. Our friends and family were so impressed when I posted our wedding highlight on Facebook we are still getting many compliments today.
Chris, thank you and to your wife Aenid so much for making our special day even more memorable with your amazing ability to capture our precious moments in your own artsy way.

The Candi Project was a joy to work with. We got a photobooth for our July wedding. Chris and Aenid were easy to work with. The photobooth set up was easy to use, they had a lot of choices for background, the prop selection was great as well. Photos came out fast and efficient, and there were copies of everyone in the picture. Price was extremely REASONABLE and everyone was very professional. Would definitely recommend THe Candi Project!

I would give 10 stars if I could to Chris and Aenid. They’re very professional to work with. Chris put a lot of extra effort on my wedding. They made it sure every detail is more than perfect. Having them as my videographer made my wedding a perfect day for me and my husband. I would reAlly recommend Candi Project to all the couples out there!!!
