Elephant Memories Videographer | Reviews

Amazing wedding photographer! We loved working with Clarissa for our big day. She was SO helpful in the planning process- we really struggled with choosing music for our video, and she sent us so many incredible options it was hard to choose. She really took the time to get to know us as a couple and provide us with a special and personalized experience. She worked so well with our photographers, it felt like they were a unified team. Her videos are such high quality and really capture the magic of the day. Would highly recommend booking her for your wedding!

Our original idea to elope was debunked by the thought of not having our children with us to commemorate this new blended family. As the wedding morphed into a family vacation it became evident we needed to document with more than just pictures.  Intimate and small was the intent- with a budget that had become razor thin. I wasn’t going to have a videographer but we needed a videographer. So I researched- they were cookie cutting movie makers so I abandoned the idea until I stumbled upon the Elephant Memories website. I watched video after video each one specialized to document each couple’s original story; no cut & paste formats. I emailed Clarissa with our story and the vision- we clicked creatively. The wedding was 2 months away & I feared she would not be available, lucky for us, she was. Covid cancelled our original date & without any fuss Clarissa was very  accommodating- we had a great team of vendors. If you want your story documented, please know Clarissa is VERY attentive to details and open to your overall vision. We wanted a special musical vibe ( Jazzy & modern), she gave us the guidelines and let us go wild. Communication was key since we live in Atlanta - I’d email in the wee hours of the morning and surprisingly she would respond (creatives find inspiration in the wee hours).  Our first phone conversation was like friends catching up & for every one of my ideas she added something to make it more special. I met Clarissa the day of the wedding-her beautiful personality was magnified 100x- she took charge of the shots, gave direction to create the images we discussed and was open to some impromptu shots we wanted on the fly. We followed her through the streets of Charleston creating amazing content and just having FUN! IT WAS MAGICAL!

When we received the finished product I laughed and cried, my husband wanted to watch it again and again. It was a TRUE documentary of our special day. The music and transitions seamlessly blend,- she was invisible in plain sight-because she captured conversations and those little details that you glance at and, admire but forget a moment later. There are a lot of “oh I remember that’ moments in our video. We can now have those moments forever. Our video is unique to us- as is everyone else’s is unique to them. Clarissa has captured for us , ’THE BEST DAY EVER.’

Elephant Memories was the best choice we made for our wedding. Clarissa was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Her video's are incredible and we love absolutely everything about our wedding video. She made everyone completely relaxed and made the process fun as well. I am shy to begin with, but I felt completely comfortable working with her. Everyone absolutely loves our wedding video and we do too! Thank you Elephant Memories!

Elephant Memories went above and beyond any expectations! Every time we watch our wedding video we feel the same emotion we did on our wedding day and that is something that we will cherish forever! Clarissa is so sweet and so easy to work with. Not one moment was missed and her creativity and uniqueness truly made our video so special. She not only creates amazing videos but she also took the time to really get to know us and our personalities and that is why we would 100% recommend her and her work. Our video  doesn’t just spark the memories of our wedding day but it sparks the memories of us and our story.

WORTH EVERY PENNY!
There is so much involved with wedding planning. Tons of vendors, lots of money. It can be so stressful! If you're spending all of this money to make your day special, you HAVE to hire Clarissa to capture it on film so you remember it forever. She captured the most intimate, stunning moments for us. She is SO easy to work with and takes the time to edit every second of the day. Our wedding video looks like it was produced in Hollwood... It's THAT good! She is not only one of the most talented people i have ever met, but she is such a sweetheart! We are forever grateful she was the one who captured our day for us. I would recommend her time and time again!

Clarissa was incredible! I can’t recommend her highly enough. We originally had not planned to have a wedding videographer, but after having to postpone our wedding due to Covid, and knowing that so many of our friends and family would no longer be able to attend, we decided to add on a videographer to help document the day for those who couldn’t be there in person. I’m SO glad we did! Clarissa created a beautiful video that absolutely captured the spirit of our wedding and the spirit of the city where we fell in love. I have watched the video over and over and it makes me so happy every single time. It’s like being able to relive all the perfect moments again. Clarissa made the whole process so easy for us. She is an absolute pro! She was flexible with our needs and helped create the perfect package for us. Her footage is absolutely stunning; it should honestly be a marketing video for Charleston. She created a priceless keepsake for us that we will cherish for many years to come. Thank you Clarissa!!

Clarissa was such a joy to work with! She was professional, responsive and organized throughout the entire process. Pre wedding, she sent us a questionnaire and multiple samples to get a feel for our style prior to our big day! The day of the wedding she was punctual and made us feel so comfortable while capturing our special moments. The end product was more than we could have imagined! My husband and I were very pleased with the teaser and highlights video she created for us. It brought back so many memories from a beautiful, blessed day! We have footage of our family and friends that we will cherish for years to come. We recommend Elephant Memories for anyone looking for quality, talent and professionalism when it comes to capturing your most precious and unforgettable memories.

As a Covid-affected bride, replanning my elopement after having to cancel my wedding was both mentally and emotionally exhausting.  At the top of my list, however, was finding a videographer that would be able to capture the perseverance and resiliency our love has during difficult times. I researched about 20 videographers and watched hundreds of videos, before coming across Elephant Memories. As soon as I watched a couple of Clarissa's wedding videos, I knew she was perfect for my vision of a Love Story Movie. She was very professional and friendly from our very first emails to finally meeting on the day of the wedding. I felt like I had known her for years! She made us feel extremely comfortable on our wedding day and worked SO hard to capture every single moment with expertise and natural skill. She was so much fun to work with and paired so magically with our photographer that you would have thought they worked together many times before even though this was the first time. She did it all. Drone footage and even a second camera set-up all by herself which is very impressive. The best part of it all is that she was truly just as excited to put our video together as we were. She finished it early and when I tell you it is the most beautiful video I have ever seen, it is! My favorite compliment when others watch it is that they feel like they just watched a trailer for a movie like The Notebook which was my inspiration from the beginning. I would 1000000x recommend Clarissa and Elephant Memories to anyone looking to book a videographer. Anyone would be lucky to have Clarissa's impressive skills, expert editing, and overall love for her job and passion to produce a beautiful product that can be cherished forever.

Elephant Memories is an incredibly flexible, professional, and fun wedding videography company to work with. They were able to customize our final wedding video and make it something even more special than we could have hoped for! They make you feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera on your wedding day, which is especially important given how busy your wedding day can be! Would recommend to anyone looking for a wedding videographer.
