There truly are not enough words to describe how incredible Ryan and Talking Fly are! For two people who aren't the most comfortable on camera Ryan made us both feel so comfortable through the entire day. We have just received the trailer and full film and we are both absolutely blown away! It is absolutely unreal. Ryan captured our day better than we could have ever imagined. The way he edited my morning video together with the wedding video was seamless and it just kept getting better and better. Ryan, thank you so much for what you did for us and for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. We could not have asked for more. For anyone reading this wondering whether to book Talking Fly or not, please do not hesitate, just book them! Thanks again!
Ryan at Talking Fly was recommended to us by family members who used him previously for their weddings - after seeing how wonderful the videos came out we had no doubts on whether to use him for our wedding in September. The booking process was so easy and professional, and in the run up to the wedding he regularly would check back in to confirm timings etc, and really made the planning process much easier and stress-free. Our honest review of Ryan is that he is truly the best in the business. On the day, he was so warm, fun and easy going! We have never been in front of a camera so wasn't sure on how we would feel, but after 5 minutes you either didn't know he was there, or felt as though you were sharing the space with a friend. He took all our ideas on board and the videos came out better than expected. We booked for a: 1 minute Instagram reel, 3 minute video, then a 1.5 hour documentary. We are so pleased we picked this package as we now get to watch back so many elements of the day, and get to relive them whenever we want. Everything about the video is perfect. The quality of it is second to none and we would whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone. Thank you again, Alice & Chay xxx
Our wedding video is everything we had dreamed of having! Ryan and his colleague captured every moment of our day which we got to re-live all over again. Ryan helped us feel so comfortable in front of the camera during our wedding day. But not only being amazing on the day, all the in between Ryan always kept us updated before and after the wedding, the editing process to the full edit we were kept in the loop throughout. Ryan is fantastic and i would recommend him to everyone. We can’t wait to show everyone our videos and re watch them every year! Thank you so much Ryan! From Amy and Joe xx
