Paperback Films

"We have had the privilege of working with Paperback Films on numerous occasions. As photographers, working with videographers can sometimes be *gasp* difficult. This is never the case with Paperback Films, Chris and Mark are a photographers dream. They are quick to get the footage they need, while being respectful of the photographers needs as well. They shoot the action as it happens rather than taking extra time to pose a couple or create a scene, which means that we as photographers can go on with our schedule with no interruptions. During a session with Paperback Films we can almost forget that they're there, and sometimes do, because they are so great at doing what they do without being up close and personal. We always enjoy working with Chris and Mark because not only are they easy to work with but they also add some extra fun to the day with their light and easy approach to shooting. Their final product always demonstrates that same feel: relaxed, fun, natural, and real."

"I can't say enough good things about these guys. Steve and the boys are a breath of fresh life and energy in Winnipeg's cinematography scene. With an amazing passion for film and storytelling, Paperback Films raises the standard of quality demanded for wedding videographers through their constant desire to evolve and be the best. They were gracious enough to do my husband and I's engagement video - something I wasn't sure I necessarily "needed", but when I watch our video, I'm so happy that Paperback Films was there to capture the emotion and excitement we were feeling. They did such an amazing job and I'm so happy we ended up going with them. They will will surpass your expectation!"

"You were very laid back and easy to get along with. You had great attitudes and great personalities. You made us very comfortable and it didn't feel strange to have you there with your equipment. You paired music with video clips perfectly (eg specific moments in the clips with specific parts of a song) - You picked songs that were representative of the couple - Your footage and edited clips were a very complete representation of the day… Your editing and transitions were very smooth - We loved your style, we especially loved our highlights video (I have watched it probably 15+ times in the last two days because I love it so much - it really captured the highlights of the day) All the best to you guys in your business!"

"I have had the privilege of photographing alongside Mark and Chris for several weddings and I can truly say that they are absolutely wonderful to work with. While both are very professional and hardworking, they are also easy-going and friendly and help to create a fun and relaxed atmosphere on the wedding day. It's so important for a photographer and videographer to get along and work well together and this has always been the case throughout my experiences with Mark and Chris. What I love about their work is their ability to capture everything as it's happening. This means the videography doesn't take any extra time on your wedding day and as a photographer, I am able to be creative and artistic, often times unaware of the work they are doing at the same time. They are extremely talented at what they do and have a real gift of telling stories through film. If you are looking for a quality videography experience, as well as people you can be comfortable with and have the utmost confidence in, you have to check them out!"

"That pit in your stomach as you sit in anticipation. With sweating palms you fidget in your seat. Your cheeks are flushed and slightly sore from the smile that is plastered across your face. There it is. You steady yourself wanting so bad to jump out of your skin but after mere seconds, you begin to jump around like a child on Christmas day. You finally slow your breathing, sit back down... and click the link to your wedding day high light video sent to you by Paperback Films. You gasp waiting for the video to load and then, the water works begin as you get that first sight of the most happiest day of your life captured in such a gorgeous form of artistic expression. The guys at Paperback Films are not only very talented individuals, they are great, humble men. It is very rare and refreshing to find a team that is dedicated to your vision and to the industry that they love so much. So much so that they are constantly learning, constantly evolving their style and constantly broadening their knowledge. You will not be disappointed...unless of course you didn't hire them."

"You were invisible when you needed to be and so much fun to hang out with the rest of the time. We loved having you guys share our day with us! We'll never forget you risking your lives for the perfect shot during the madness of the Hora! We tell every engaged couple the same thing: scrimp on every detail, save on something else, because you need to find the money for Paperback Films. End of story! Thank you so much Chris and Mark for preserving our day in such a breathtaking art form. We love you!"

"Since the invention of the moving image, the relationship between videographers and photographers could be compared to that of the cat and dog... sometimes even the cat and mouse. Perhaps not a perfect match for a wedding day. I have worked personally with many videographers on numerous events and have experienced the good, the bad and the ugly. Chris & Mark from Paperback Films are beyond good... they're great. They're amazing to work with and the feeling is shared among many other wedding vendors across our industry. They're professional, creative and their work is stunning. It's always a pleasure to work along side them. Thanks Chris & Mark for everything and I'll see you at our next wedding!"

"Thank you for everything! You made sure to explain everything so we understood everything to be expected. I really appreciate meeting for coffee and making sure everything was correct. You guys did an amazing job and am so glad we had you there on our wedding day! On a scale of 0 to 10 of how likely I am to refer Paperback Films to a friend or colleague; the answer would be a 10!"
