    Best Invesment!

    I am so thankful we went with Bowen Films for our wedding. From the first initial call with Tom to the weeks leading up to our wedding to post-production, him and his team were super communicative and responsive. From the highlight video to the full feature film, they captured the day so perfectly and have given us a video we will cherish forever, going above and beyond our expectations. Our wedding video is a priceless gift beyond words and Bowen Films was one of the best decisions we made.

    Best decision

    We weren't going to go with a videographer at first, but once we saw Bowen Film's work, we were floored and enamored. Not only is their work spectacular, but their process is easy, and their communication is top notch. I never had to worry about getting in touch or about them forgetting the intricate details of our day. We can't wait to see our final product!!

    We had a great experience working with Jon and the Bowen Films team! Jon was very talented, kind, and professional. Our wedding video turned out amazing and captured the day beautifully!

    Amazing Videographers

    Bowen Films was just an absolutely lovely addition to our wedding day. We cannot say enough good things about them.

    Tom was extremely helpful leading up to the day, answering all of our questions expertly. Our videographers, Freddy and Jon, were so wonderful on the day of and their kindness, positive attitudes and excitement to film our best day ever was so so appreciated and made us and our wedding party feel comfortable in front of the cameras.

    Additionally, in the best way possible, there were moments when we were like "where are the videographers?" but then, sure enough, we'd glance around and they'd be right there, capturing it all but blending in in a way that allowed the event to happen.

    It was such a pleasure to work with them and we can honestly say that our wedding would not have been the same without Bowen Films presence and expertise.

    Beyond Incredible!

    We were initially going to forgo a videographer for our wedding due to the cost, but we are so thrilled that we changed our mind and that we decided to hire Bowen Films! From the very first interaction with Tom, we felt like we were in excellent hands. We also knew that Bowen Films was awesome when our photographer told us that they loved working with them (this is not always the case). On the wedding day, everything went incredibly smoothly and Whitney and team worked extremely well with our photographer team! Fast forward to receiving our wedding video and we were over the moon! Both the highlight and full-length film did an incredible job of evoking emotion, representing us as a couple, and capturing the best parts of our big day (they also made us look like movie stars and everyone look like professional dancers haha). The highlight film was so beautiful and fun and us and everyone who watches it cannot help but smile and cry tears of joy. The wedding day went by in such a blur, so we are so thankful that we have these films to help us remember all the special parts of our big day. We cannot wait to watch on our anniversaries!

    A joy to work with!

    Bowen was a joy to work with on our wedding day. Our camera guy Freddy and his assistant were so personable and delightful. They arrived knowing exactly what shots we had asked for and were on top of the timeline the entire night. I never once “felt” like I was being filmed, and yet they managed to capture so many wonderful moments. The final product was so beautiful, professional, and high-quality. We got the “documentary” film of the ceremony, speeches, and dances, as well as the 5-minute “cinematic highlight” of the entire night, and both were so worth the money. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bowen to anyone looking for a videographer for their special day!

    Perfect day!

    When we started planning our wedding, a videographer was never high on our priority list. But after covid forced us to downsize the guest list, we wanted to give our friends and family who couldn’t make it to the wedding something to hold onto from our big day. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with Tom. From the very first phone call, Tom listened to our priorities and what we were looking for from him, and on the day of - he and his daughter Whitney executed flawlessly. They worked in tandem with our photographers (not always a given!!) to capture our big moments, and we are so thrilled we had Bowen Films to capture our big day.

    Amazing Team!

    Hiring Bowen Films was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We loved how they are a family business as it really shows in their work with capturing love and families. Tom and his whole team are amazing and so talented, and they really know how to capture the best moments of your wedding day! The videos they captured for our wedding day are so special and we will treasure them forever. All of the details, the speeches, ceremony, emotions of the day flowed perfectly. We can’t thank them enough and can’t stop rewatching them!

    Just Amazing!

    Bowen Films went above and beyond my expectations. They were so professional and I hardly noticed they were even there the day of my wedding. Our videos were delivered to us by the date they said they would be and I could not be more thrilled with how they turned out. I have had multiple friends and family members comment on how perfectly they captured our day. If you are looking for a quality videographer, look no further!

    Extremely Creative!

    We worked with Bowen Films for our wedding in June 2018. They did an incredible job, our videos are absolutely amazing! They know how to capture every moment and show all the emotions taking place throughout the day. They truly have mastered this craft and are extremely creative. The team is easy to work with and very professional. I would highly recommend!

    Hiring a videographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and Tom’s team delivered three amazing videos that we – our friends and family included – will treasure for the rest of our lives. They were all beautiful and have brought nearly everyone who has seen them to tears. Everyone will tell you that your wedding day goes by in the blink of an eye, but with a great videographer like Tom and his team, you will have a permanent reminder of all of those moments that made the day so special.

    We loved working with Bowen Films for our wedding! They came highly recommended to us by our planner, Evoke DC and our photographer, Sarah Bradshaw and both recommendations were spot on. The team, specifically Whitney, was easy to work with from start to finish, professional and kind throughout the process and like flies on the wall throughout the day. They captured moments throughout the day that just wouldn't be the same on still images. They impressively turned around our teaser in less than 48 hours which was an amazing treat and we just received our final videos - a 4.5 minute highlight and 1 hr and 40ish minute video - within the first 2.5 months of marriage. I would recommend Bowen Films without hesitation for any videography needs; they gave us video memories to last a lifetime.

    We loved working with the Bowen team. When selecting Bowen Films, we were really impressed by their thoughtful, detailed, and beautiful work. The day of the wedding, we appreciated their extreme degree of professionalism, and the fact that they seemed to capture every moment while our guests hardly noticed them being there. We are extremely excited to see the final product because we know it will be awesome!

    My husband and I weren’t sure in the beginning if we wanted a videographer, but after seeing the product delivered by Bowen Films, we are incredibly happy we decided to get it. We originally purchased the Cinematic Highlight package, but later upgraded to the Director’s Cut package and have zero regrets. First, the moments captured by our videographers are incredible; they are so candid and natural. Our wedding flew by and this allows my husband and I to relive some of the most precious moments. Second, the production quality of the video is outstanding. It truly looks professional and the time invested into creating the highlight and social media videos is self-evident. Lastly, the responsiveness and flexibility of everyone at Bowen films was top notch. My husband and I had a few requests and they were quick to incorporate them into their plan. Overall, we are very satisfied with Bowen films and would highly recommend them.

    Bowen Films was the first vendors I booked. I had seen their videos of other weddings and knew that I needed them to capture my wedding day! The team was responsive throughout the whole process and allowed me to add to my package just a few weeks before the wedding. Our social media edit was sent to us just days after the wedding allowing us to relive some of the highlights! This short film alone was incredibly done, I can only imagine what our longer film is going to look like. Our two videographers were very professional and helped us feel at ease on our wedding day. I would highly recommend the Bowen Films Team.

    We absolutely LOVED working with Tom, Freddy and their team. On our wedding day, the team showed up on time and looking very professional. The whole day ran so smoothly and we barely noticed they were even there! The entire team made sure that our families, wedding party, and us were comfortable all day long. They respected our other vendors and worked so well with everyone we had present (photographer, coordinator, hair & makeup, etc.). We couldn't have asked for a better team from start to finish.

    Bowen films helped my daughter and he fiancé make a video,about their engagement and filmed her wedding. We played the engagement video at the reception and it was exceptional....lots of tears and requests for a copy of the video. I highly recommend Bowen films and urge brides and family to do video of the event

    Tom Bowen and his team were so incredibly professional and low-key - I have been at weddings where the videographer has really gotten in the way. We really appreciated that Tom and his team were capturing all the important moments but were not in the way to the point that we almost forgot they were there! Tom was so sweet, super easy to work with and has a great eye. He does beautiful work and his videos are not cookie cutter. He puts a lot of creativity and thought into his videos as is evident from the final product. One of the still photos he grabbed from part of the video was so good that our venue asked to use it in their marketing materials! We are so glad we hired Bowen Films and will cherish our video so we can relive our wedding forever!

    Absolutely wonderful: on the wedding day AND the final video products. Tom Bowen & Whitney did an excellent job of being unobtrusive; didn't even notice them around at the church or reception (no offense, Tom & Whitney, that's what we wanted). The church had restrictions on where they could stand & didn't want them moving around during the ceremony; they "obeyed" the church rules exactly. I was very concerned about the audio at the ceremony & whether you'd be able to hear every word clearly. It was perfect. Everyone who watches it ends up crying & remarking how professional the video looks ("it looks like a Hollywood movie!"). All products were delivered in the timeframe promised. Tom was very familiar with our venue & arrived on time ready to film. Turns out some photographers are particular about (and don't always get along with) some videographers (they are sharing the same small spaces & can get in each others' way, from what I understand). Tom Bowen and my outstanding photographer Eli Turner had worked some weddings together before, and they worked very well together at my wedding (I'd highly recommend hiring each, if your budget allows). I don't know if Bowen Films can do this for everyone (I got married at a non-busy time of year), but they graciously agreed to make some minor adjustments (switching out a few video clips) after I received the highlight video(s) (Tom & Whitney didn't make any mistakes...they had no way of knowing why we couldn't use certain video clips, it was just my family's preference). It showed me that Bowen Films really does stand by their quality work, and they really do care about the customer's satisfaction with their final products. I am thrilled with the final product & so is everyone I send it to. You can get video done for cheaper, but in my opinion, you can tell the difference. Very, very glad we splurged on a high-quality videographer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, if great quality video is important to you.

    I LOVE MY WEDDING VIDEO! Thank you Bowen Films!

    A great highlight video was really important to me, and I am so glad we picked Bowen. I wanted something fun and upbeat, and not something overly dramatic or serious. They did such a good job of capturing the happy mood of the day, while still keeping the important serious moments in the video. I also love how they incorporated natural audio (in our case, the toasts) in addition to the songs we chose, which not all wedding videographers do. They were so accommodating and and made two trips to Baltimore for us (rehearsal dinner and wedding). And even though our rehearsal dinner was on New Years Eve, they were able to be there.

    Tom and Whitney were our videographers for the wedding day, and they were both great. Tom's brother (I can't remember his name) did the rehearsal dinner, and he was also great. We were in touch with Whitney before and after the wedding to discuss logistics, song choices, and anything else. Everyone was a pleasure to work with.

    Bowen Films was AMAZING! I'm so incredible grateful to their team for capturing our wedding so perfectly. They were wonderful to work with, punctual and even discussed my vision for the entire video, prior to the wedding weekend. They managed to get so many great shots and moments, yet were unobtrusive throughout the wedding day. The way they created the highlight video and set it to music was perfect. I would 100% recommend them!
