    Hiring them was one of our BEST decisions!

    Lydia and Criag made our photo/video planning so easy and not stressful. They are very responsive, respectful of your decisions and preferences, and they truly care about your wedding and capturing every single moment! They were also fun to work with, and we can't believe how perfect our pictures and videos are! They create a wedding video AND they give you all raw footage of the entire day! Thank you, Lydia and Craig, :-)

    Cinematic Images

    Cinematic Images was recommended to me by a friend. I wasn’t sure if I was going to have my wedding day video taped but I’m glad I did. I reached out to them and they got back to me right away. Lydia and Craig met with me and showed me their work. I couldn’t have been more pleased. If I had know about them before I booked my photographer I would have had them photograph the wedding as well. Also, I got my video back a lot sooner than expected. I would recommend them for all special events.

    October wedding

    You captured the best night of our lives and then gave us the ability to re-live it over and over again thanks to your amazing photographs and video! Cinematic Images took multiple hours to sit with us to plan our bug day and then dedicated many hours afterwards to provide us with the best memories we could ask for. Their attention to detail and ability to lead us through the day, set up the lighting to capture the perfect shots and made sure to capture every moment we didnt know we needed! This team is amazing and would hire them over and over again!

    Absolutely recommend!

    Lydia and Craig were the best videographers we could have asked for for our wedding. They were so easy to communicate with and they made incredible videos of our wedding! We can't thank them enough for their responsiveness, attention to detail, and kindness. They are truly professional and we would highly recommend them.

    Wedding videographer

    I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lydia and Craig. In the beginning, I wasn’t sure I should have a videographer as it’s another expense upon an already expensive day, but not for one second do I regret this well made decision. I love my photos, but being able to relive the day with video is priceless. From the moment I booked with them, it was easy and seamless. We worked out the plan for the day of the wedding beforehand so there was no stress on the day of. They helped me figure out what I needed and even offered a payment plan so I could get everything I wanted! On my wedding day, Craig was so wonderful! He was professional and unobtrusive and while I didn’t really know what he was getting, the end result was more than I could have wished for! I can’t stop watching my videos! After the wedding, when the videos were sent to me, they worked with me on minor things until it was perfect and once again seamlessly with quick responses and helpful advice! If you are in search of a wedding videographer, I can only say I highly recommend them and know you will love them and more importantly love the end results!

    Great people, great service!

    Lydia and Craig were amazing to work with! We loved their documentary style and are so happy with the final result. Along the way, they were flexible and allowed us to take our time to make decisions about figuring out exactly what we wanted. Day of they arrived early and stayed in the background and sometimes I forgot they were even there! This allowed for them to get shots of everyone having fun and acting naturally. If you are looking for documentary style Cinematic Images is the way to go!

    Engagement Photos

    We hired Lydia and Craig to shoot our upcoming wedding and recently had engagement photos taken. They are extremely professional, and made the engagement shoot easy and natural. They did a fantastic job of capturing us in the moment and we absolutely love how the photos came out and are excited for the wedding!!! We would recommend them to anyone who wants to feel special on their big day :)

    Engagement Shoot

    Right from the start, my fiancé and I clicked with Lydia and Craig. They were amazing to work with for our engagement shoot. They were well prepared and made us feel comfortable during the shoot. Lydia and Craig found so many cute spots in downtown Mystic for the shoot. They got us in the moment and made it feel natural. Our pictures came out beautifully, we couldn’t ask for better. We can’t wait to work with them again on our wedding day!!

    Professional but make it fun

    Craig and Lydia may secretly be Superman and superwoman... They were easy to work with right from the start. I wanted elopement and country wedding they were on board to give me both. Due to a scheduling conflict at Hartford city hall it was impossible to get there because the road was closed. I was in the car literally in shock when I receive a call from Lydia. She positively read my mind and we went on with our day. They brought our day back to life and made it even more magical for us. Even in legit chaos they kept their cool and positive. Bottom line you want Craig and Lydia.

    Fantastic, smooth experience from start to finish!

    Cannot recommend Lydia & Craig more! From our first inquiry, they were fast to respond, super good at communication, and very transparent about their (quite competitive pricing). On the day of they were on time and were able to capture so many beautiful moments without getting in the way of guests - we barely knew they were there! We are so pleased with their high-quality footage and they were such a joy to work with from start to finish! Would highly recommend!!

    I can’t say enough wonderful things about working with Lydia and Craig! They are caring, accommodating (the sweetest people!), they listen, they honestly put their all into what they do. You can tell that they really want to give you the best photos (and videos) that they could on your wedding day. They are absolutely worth every cent.

    Highly recommend

    Cinematic Images was simply amazing! They helped make our special day perfect, even with unexpected rain on our wedding day they were able to quickly figure out a plan B and still got us the most beautiful pictures. We love our video as it captured every special moment that we can look back at for years to come. All the pictures were just beautiful. They are super responsive, helpful, organized and made it so we did not have to worry about a thing! I highly highly recommend using them for any of your needs!

    Absolutely went above and beyond to make our day special

    Lydia and Craig are two people who are very professional and organized and a great team to work with! They know how to capture that special picture everyone wants. They were so much fun to work with and because of them our wedding was just that much more exciting! We felt comfortable and relaxed the whole time because they made it fun. I highly recommend Cinematic Images for Photography and Videography!
    Thank you Lydia and Craig

    The perfect team to capture our special day!

    We were married on September 25, 2021. We initially had a videographer scheduled however due to a mix up with our photographer we had to find another vendor. Although it was initially stressful and disappointing, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Within the first few minutes of meeting Craig and Lydia, I knew I had to look no further. They are both wonderful, they make you feel comfortable and I knew they were meant to be part of our wedding day. From the very beginning, they responded to my inquiries timely, they reassured me that everything would turn out great and they fulfilled on their promise. We had a small, intimate wedding and although we barely noticed their presence, they captured all of the most important moments, expressions and emotions throughout the ceremony and reception. As you anticipate what your special day will look like, you have to have confidence in your vendor team. This team will not disappoint you and you will be so thankful for hiring them as you look back at your wedding video and relive the day over and over again. Our guests complimented their demeanor, their personalities and how great they were. I felt like a proud parent, excited to hand out their contact information for anyone needing a photographer and/or videographer. Thank you so much for being part of our day and for capturing such a great video that we can view over and over again. Jeff already talks about renewing our vows and their is no doubt we will reach out to you first for our photography and video needs! Thank you so much for everything and may you continue to be blessed.

    Cinematic Images's reply:

    Haydee,
    Thank you so much for such kind words. We had such a nice day with you and Jeff. We hope you renew your vows every year so that we can work with you both again ! :)
    Stay well
    Lydia and Craig

    Fabulous Experience

    We decided very last minute that we would like to give our daughter and son-in-law a video of their wedding as a gift ..and to be honest, as her parents.. it was a gift for us too!.. The day would be over before we knew it..BEST DECISION...Once I spoke with Lydia she explained the entire process to me ...her and Craig could not have been easier to work with..They took care of everything ...we didn’t even know they were there ...I cannot say enough about them.. FABULOUS EXPERIENCE..Very professional..BEAUTIFUL FINAL PRODUCT .

    Lydia & Craig have been wonderful to work with from start to finish.
    With planning and replanning our wedding with dealing with covid, they made it very easy and stress free with the photography side.

    They took so many beautiful photos and made it painless… such beautiful, wonderful people. I will definitely recommend them to everyone I know.

    Captured every moment

    Cinematic Images went above and beyond for my wedding. They came an hour before their start time to make sure they caught my first look, and the highlight reel had me crying and laughing at the same time. They also provided us with a photo booth that was Covid-friendly and they cleaned every prop between guests. They stayed later than the were contracted to, and I am so grateful for their service on the best day of my life.

    Lydia knowledgeable, on time, high quality, fair price. I'd recommend to friends and family for any cinematic job. She put together 400 family photos with musical accompaniment.

    Lydia and Craig are great! Very easy to work with and a great value. We got married with a lot of COVID-19 restrictions and they did an amazing job working with us. The pictures came out even better than we expected. We will have a full reception in 2021 and will certainly use them again. Highly recommended!

    Absolutely AMAZING!!

    Perfect does not even begin to describe the experience that we had with Craig and Lydia from Cinematic Images and the services that they provided for our wedding. From the beginning of the planning process they were so easy to work with. They were professional, easy to communicate with, and truly invested in capturing our special day. We were blown away by the products that they delivered. Since receiving our highlight video, a day has not gone by that we have not watched it. After the wedding day, we communicated back and forth about music, and the moments that we did, and did not want featured in our video. The day of our wedding they were very discrete. There were many clips from the highlight video that were surprises to us because we did not know that they were filming in those moments. We were very impressed with the way they matched the music to the action that was taking place in the shot. We are so happy that we chose Craig and Lydia for our video and love that we can now relive that day at any moment. If you want worry free experience with an exceptional final product Cinematic Images will give that and so much more!
