"I love Greg and Merrianne and have worked with them on several projects over the years and several weddings. They are always professional, kind, and deliver a spectacular product. I am saying this as a photographer - their style and mine go well together and we work as a team seamlessly. Their ideas and mine coordiate in a way that no one is stepping on anyone's toes during the big day. They ensure they get the shot, while being hidden from view as much as possible (which is a big deal). They use their long lenses and share space so they get those intimate moments without being "all up in your grill" while the photographer is working too. I recommend them to each and every wedding client because I cherish them so much and I love working with them. Thanks you guys! I look forward to all the projects in the future!"

"I would highly recommend working with Greg and Merriann to anyone! Their hard work and dedication (mixed with their kindness and easy-going personalities) made them the dream team. I felt so at ease with their presence throughout the day and was blown away by the product they sent us. Even though a wedding day can be stressful, they did a great job at guiding and of assisting throughout the day. I can't thank them enough!!"

"Greg and Merriann did a wonderful job working with our event. Working together, they are the perfect balance of being fun and personable and also...they know their stuff and produce a quality final product."

"I was researching wedding vendors on the internet when I found The Like River Films. I contacted them through their website excited that they could help me document my wedding day. To my delight Merriann got back to me very quickly. Since I lived over an hour away from my wedding venue, and even further from their work location I choose to have our initial consultation over the telephone, and after that call I knew Like The River Films would be the right choice to document the big day! Leading up to the big day – like many brides I probably sent too many emails but Merriann or Greg got back to me quickly with answers to my questions. The week before the big day I spent about 45 minutes on the phone with Merriann going over the plan and making sure she knew the most important elements to capture on video. One thing that really impressed me the most was the research Merriann and Greg put into learning about the venue. They had never worked at my venue before and while I was on the phone with Merriann she called out very specific details about the venue and where she wanted to get certain shots asking for my input. Like The River arrived on time – ready to go. My wedding had 10 bridal party members, 7 flower girls, 1 junior bridesmaid and 2 ring bearers so we can basically say it was chaos at various moments throughout the day. Like The River Films went with the flow and seemed to just hang out in the background, which took the pressure off of me – I didn’t even remember I was being filmed, and during the ceremony I completely forgot I was mic’ed up. They hooked right into the microphone that my DJ had which allowed great audio on the film and for the audience who was present. There was no worrying about getting people mic’ed up! From my bride perspective – there is something SO calming and grounding about Merriann. Having her by my side all day was such a blessing. Every time I saw Greg he brought a smile to my face with his humor and very positive, upbeat energy. I didn’t meet Merriann or Greg before the wedding, so I was very thankful when they just fit in with my group and brought the energy they did. I am very happy with the quality of products (hightlight film, toasts, and ceremony) I received and I am SO thankful I choose to hire a videographer. Pictures are great and I likely will see them more often the video but there is something so precious and dear about the video. I have the ability to see my dad walk me down the aisle. I didn’t know my sister was so emotional because I was focused on my new husband, I got to see that in the video. I have the voice of my father and new father-in-law giving amazing toasts, and get to watch my dad and I, my husband and I, and my husband and his mother, smile and laugh while we danced. I get to see the fun my guests were having any time I want. I can relive not only my own and my guests experience when I watch the video. Everyone says the wedding day is a blur. I will tell you my wedding day went fast, but I felt very present. Having this video allows me to see my wedding day from a different perspective and provides me an ability to experience it all over again – which gives me all the feels. Thank you Like the River Films for being awesome at what you do. I highly recommend hiring Like The River Films for any of your videography needs."
