Amazingly Talented Cinematographer!!!

Chris is absolutely amazing!! While searching for a videographer in GTA I came across Ripeful Heart Films and as soon as I watched one of his films on the website I knew I wanted him to shoot our wedding. All his films are stunning!

We had two days of events – a Traditional Nigerian Marriage Ceremony on a Thursday and the Wedding Ceremony and Reception on Saturday. Chris showed up on time for both days to setup and get a good lay of the land. He is easy going and professional, Chris made sure we were always comfortable while he was filming. His filming approach in capturing candid and spontaneous moments helped us to relax by lightening the mood and relieving some of the stress of the big day. Another wonderful thing about Chris was how seamlessly he worked with our photographers, he was very adaptable.

Derek was the second cinematographer that worked with Chris on the day of our wedding and reception. Derek showed up promptly to setup and worked well with our photographers. His filming style is quite like Chris’ and he was professional. It was great having a second videographer around as they really complemented each other.

When our films arrived, we were thrilled beyond measure with them!! We got the full package with the Highlight Film, Feature Film and Documentary Edit. Each film was remarkable and we enjoyed watching them over again. Chris captured the important moments and the editing was amazing. Everything was beautiful – the music, flow, transitions e.t.c. It was astounding to watch as all the films came together quite nicely.

We are excited and proud to share our wedding films with our friends and family and look forward to watching and cherishing them for the rest of our lives. Chris Drover is an extremely talented cinematographer and we will be forever thankful for his amazing films!

An Authentic Wedding Day Story

We had originally taken Videographer out of our budget as we really didn't have room in the budget. But then we came across Ripeful Heart Wedding Films and we knew we had to make changes our the budget. We would highly recommend Ripeful Heart Wedding Films to our friends and family (in fact we already have). Chris is awesome and he was so great to work with! The whole process is so easy with him (which is a breath of fresh air in the wedding planning process).

He was like family on our wedding day. We felt like Chris understood us as soon as we met him. He was so comfortable to be around and we could barely tell he was filming. The film Chris put together is not only more beautiful than we could have imagined, it feels real and authentic. He told our wedding day story beautifully, but it also feels like he told our love story too. I'm not too sure how he does it. So many things out there don't feel real these days. But everyone of Ripeful Heart's wedding films looks and feels unique to that couple. He captured our wedding day as it really was and so many moments and details that we wouldn't have seen.

If you've decided to go with a videographer, we highly highly recommend them. And I know you will too after your wedding day.

Ripeful Heart is amazing! Chris was our videographer and he is just an absolute pleasure to work with. Chris is very quick to respond to any questions you may have, is very professional and is always on time with just about everything! We chose to do the 3 min feature, 10 min highlight and full doc edit and I am really pleased to have selected all three because it really depends on what you want to use or showcase, depending on your audience. Each edit was done very well and I am very happy with his product. On the wedding day, Chris was on time (actually he was early and was just taking some footage outside of the house!) and was very easy to be around the entire day (sometimes I didn't even notice him!) I don't how how he does it but he seems to capture just about everything perfectly. I definitely recommend Christ and Ripeful Heart to anyone who is looking for a videographer!

Absolutely recommend Ripeful Heart

Chris was excellent on the day, worked very well with our photographer even though they hadn't met before. Leading up to the wedding he made everything very easy and was flexible with the package that best suited us. The final video was beautiful, we couldn't have asked for a better result.

Beyond exceptional!

My husband and I got married in August and we used Chris as our videographer. He was beyond exceptional and truly captured every moment of our day. Working with Chris was such a wonderful experience. He was able to answer all of our questions when needed leading up to our day and he was very laid back and made us feel at ease to be ourselves. Words cannot express how grateful we are to have worked with Chris.

Thank YOU Chris! We want to reiterate how incredible of a job Chris and his team did on the same day edit video, it became the highlight of our night! Chris was able to captured every favorite moment of ours. We are both thoroughly impressed on how it turned out especially knowing how little time he had to put that together. Phenomenal work, thank you so much!

Chris was fantastic from start to finish

We had Chris shoot our wedding on July 2018. We were looking for someone flexible in terms of production style and creative at the same time. We wanted our video to be organic, honest and one that highlights some of the best emotional and happy moments. Chris delivered all of the above.

He is also very professional and extremely friendly. We knew we could trust him completely. On our wedding day, we did not brief him with any details, no questions asked (we had one phone conversation before our wedding) - he seems to know his way around and what needs to be done.

We are so grateful we had him shoot our wedding. We highly recommend him to any couples looking for a wedding videographer. All the best Chris!

Chris was awesome!

We were unsure at first if we were going to hire a videographer for our wedding but I am so glad that we did and that we chose Chris! It was definitely worth it. We are so happy with our highlight film we watch it all the time. It is also so great to look back and be able to re-watch all of our speeches since so much of what was said is hard to remember with all the emotions and how busy the day is! Thanks Chris :)
