Stephan & Susann LeBlanc, Nashua Country Club, 10-11-08

We just received our DVD's in the mail today.  We can't begin to tell you how thrilled we are with the final product!  We enjoyed having you be a part of our wedding day as well.  You helped put us at ease with your presence before the event and you were unobtrusive during the ceremony and reception.  The DVD's that you have given us are so artistically put together and we can't wait to share them with our family.  The highlights montage that you created for us really captures the emotions of the day.  Thank you so much!  We will definitely recommend you to our friends.

Sarah and Michael Picciolo, Danversport Yacht Club, 8/31/08

Tim has been extremely helpful, patient and a pleasure to work with. He was very professional at the wedding and non-intrusive, which was nice. He has truly seemed to enjoy working on our video from start to finish and I have never felt that I am bothering him when I contact him (which has been many times!) I love the feel of the video, and the fact that he picked up on many of the little details. He was there for all the big moments but was able to capture the mood of the day and the ambience as well. He did such a wonderful job on my father/daughter montage that I knew I had to have him do my wedding video as well. I had a certain vision in my head of how I wanted that video, and he was able to capture it. I couldn't imagine anyone doing a better job than he did on both that video and our wedding video. The highlight montage is wonderful; he followed all my criteria and included everything I wanted to have included (song choice, specific shots, e! tc.) and worked with me closely to make sure I got exactly what I want. Even after the wedding he has been in contact with me, answering my questions and trying to help out in whatever way possible. Tim definitely goes "above and beyond" for his customer, and I would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat, whether it is for a wedding or any other special event. I really can't think of anything I would have wanted him to do differently. Thank you!!!!

Krysta and Raul Cariboni, Vernon, CT and Aqua Turf. 7/26/08

We cannot praise you enough for the beautiful video. As we were watching it, we were brought back to our wedding day, and you were able to capture every moment so beautifully. The photo montage to the music is gorgeous, and we love how you took the time to make the video clips fit with the music so well. Then the actual footage with our voices was great to watch, as we were able to relive all the moments and converstations that we almost forgot about.

We showed most of the wedding party and our families the video already, and everybody absolutely loves it. We are all so impressed with the editing you did (such as the black and white picture of me with the bridesmaids with just their royal blue dresses in color). Those small touches made the video that much more special.

Raul and I really enjoyed working with you. You were so professional and easy to work with. We will highly recommend you to everyone we know...several people commented that it was the nicest wedding video they had seen. I know watching my video was enough for my maid of honor to contact you for her upcoming wedding!

Again, thank you for putting together such an amazing highlight of our day...that video will be cherished for years and generations to come!

Liz and Matt Howell, Annisquam Yacht Club, Gloucester, MA, 6/14/08

Of all the choices related to our marriage celebration, working with Tim turned out to be one of our best decisions.  We just enjoyed our day and let Tim take care of everything...then we received our perfect video in the mail.   After the craziness of the wedding had subsided, our video was one extra gift for us to look forward to and enjoy.

Tim was always available for clarifications and questions that we had before and after the event.  On our wedding day we only remember noticing Tim a couple times, but he managed to capture all the important parts of our day, and did so with a classic, yet fun style.  His tasteful use of camera angles, editing techniques and framing of shots really made some already lovely scenes appear extraordinary on film.  

The highlight montage is truly a treasure.  We are amazed by how well he captured the feel and significance of all the things that were so meaningful to us.  From the quaint church where the ceremony was performed, to the fun and casual atmosphere of our waterfront reception, to our custom designed wedding rings and handmade programs.  He highlighted everything beautifully!  His carefully edited footage was tailored to our music selections perfectly.  Tim made a point to include all our close family members and attendants in a mix of planned poses and lots of candid shots - which we loved most.

We stopped at a local beach for photos after the ceremony and then boarded a boat to the reception.  Tim happily followed us along a footpath through the woods, across a field to a beach, and climbed down on a dock to get all the best shots of us - carrying his gear along the way.  He did it all with a smile and a laugh and we felt immediately comfortable with someone we had just met.  It helped us to relax and enjoy our day.

The menu options on the DVD exceeded our expectations.  It's convenient to skip around to different key events.  Tim did a nice job of incorporating some of our favorite songs into the running footage, but we actually love the option of turning off the music, listening to everyone's conversations, and laughing over all the things we had missed the day of the wedding.

Watching our video together brings back all the emotion and excitement of the day, and we are grateful to have this work of art to share with the many family members and friends from across the country who were unable to witness the events first hand.  With this video they are actually able to relive this unforgettable day with us.

With many thanks and sincere appreciation, Matt and Liz

Maria and Tim, Tewksbury Country Club, 4/19/08

The DVD was just awesome, I love every minute of it!! The highlight montage is great and thank you for extending it, I didn't want it to end! At times I felt like I was watching a movie. We've already watched it so many times and have had so many compliments on it, you did an excellent job. Thank you for all your work and I will be recommending you!

Bridget and David Corliss, Trinity College Chapel, Hartford, CT, 2/9/08

Well I have had a chance to see the wedding video (a million times) from Trinity College and the Bond Ballroom in Hartford, CT on 2/9/08!!! What a magical day it was for us!!! We are over-joyed with the quality of your work and the time and energy you placed in editing.  We have watched the video with our family and you captured some pretty funny things that we had forgotten about!!! (inside family jokes etc....)  The day flew by for David and myself and we are thrilled that we have this DVD!  We know our children/grandchildren will one day enjoy watching our wedding.  Your talent is incredible and we appreciated how you incorporated the music that we like into the video.  We can't thank you enough for your professionalism, character and talent. We will pass along your name to our friends...Just as we got glowing recommendations from Kim and Todd, Corinne and Jeff and Courtney and David!!! We now will be among the gang to spread your name!  Many, many thanks to you.

Audrey and Matt, Francis Xavier Church, Waterbury, CT, 1/26/08

Matt & I can't thank you enough for the beautiful wedding video.  It was more then we ever expected (and I always have super high expectations, just ask Matt :)!!   We have spent the past few weeks sharing it with family & friends and everyone is so impressed.  We have a number of newly engaged & soon to be engaged friends who have already asked for your contract information so you may be traveling to CT lots in the next few years....sorry, I know it is a drive for you but your work is unmatched.    Throughout college I worked as an event planner & supervisor at the Wadsworth Mansion.  I have seen so many videographers and videos and always thought they were intrusive and very tacky.  Also, we have had a number of family weddings recently and their videos all began with a cartoon spinning church, not the image they wanted and definitely not one we ever wanted.  It was really a last minute decision for us to have a videographer and the only reason we choose to have one is because of Dave & Courtney's wedding video.  Matt & I kept watching it and thinking about it.  Our family tends to be a little off the wall so we weren't sure if you would be able to capture the same elegance & charm that we loved in Dave & Courtney's.    We truly feel working with you was probably the best wedding decision we made (aside from deciding to get married :).  Everything about the video is stunning.  The editing is flawless, timeless & elegant.  We love the presentation of the video from the case to the picture on the CD to the chapter titles you chose, everything was executed with perfection.  Also, you run your business with exceptional professionalism.  Often in this business you find people that are good at video or pictures or flowers but terrible at the business aspect.  You have mastered both so well and were a pleasure to work with from day one.  I know this email is getting long but we can't thank you enough for the beautiful way you captured our wedding day.  It will indeed help preserve our memories for a lifetime.   Thank you again for everything!!!   Audrey & Matt

Courtney and Matt Glazier, Brooksby Farm, Peabody, MA, 11/11/07

Tim, Thanks so much for all of your hard work at our wedding. The video is amazing and I am sure we will view it often with fond memories. We'll be sure to send lots of referrals your way. Thanks again!

Derek and Erin Sergi, Wedding at the Jones River Trading Co, 11/3/07

Tim, you did such a wonderful job capturing all the special moments from our wedding day. Watching the video makes us feel like we are right back there, on our wedding day. The quality of the video is so impressive especially given the unique lighting at our venue and the nor'easter that was taking place throughout the day. Each time we watch it, we catch a little something new that we didn't catch on our wedding day or the previous times that we watched the video. You did such a great job pairing up the music with the running footage and for the photo montage. You obviously have an amazing talent your love of your work shows throughout the video. Thank you so much for giving us such a wonderful keepsake of our wedding day!!

Julie and Dave Fobert, Wedding in Quincy, MA, 10/6/07

Tim, thank you so much for an amazing piece that we will always cherish. Are you sure you didn't have a staff of five invisible cameramen at our wedding? There are just so many great angles and perfect shots that we cannot believe one man did it all. Thank you for soliciting our opinions on music, feel, etc. through the whole process, ensuring that the end result was a video that truly captured our day even better than I remember it in my head! The quality of everything from start to finish has been top-notch. You have been a pleasure to work with and I can't recommend you highly enough to other engaged couples!

Colleen Harding and Peter Lewandowski, The Hartford Club, CT, 9/8/07

Our film is everything we could have asked for and more. Family and friends who have seen it say that it looks like we are in a movie and we couldn't agree more. Tim captured our day in a way that was completely inconspicuous, yet he did not miss anything, and the final product is beautiful. Watching the film brings back wonderful memories for us. It was a pleasure working with Tim and we would recommend Tim to anyone.

Tara and Sean Malone, Wedding at Hammond Castle, MA, 8/25/07

The quality is excellent! We loved the menu on the film and the option to shut off the music. The feel was fantastic. It was exactly what we were looking for. Tim really captured everyone's emotions that day. The music was just what we were looking for. It was a good combination of music we gave him and music he added. We also loved the split screne and the "old school" look that parts of the film had. I wasn't able to describe to Tim exactly what we wanted out of our video because I didn't really know, but after seeing what he did I would say it was just what we were looking for.

Ed and Val Zaganjori, Bedford Village Inn, NH, 8-11-07

We received the video last week and absolutely LOVE it.  We've already watched it at least three times!  Thank you for such a quick turnaround and for doing such a great job.  We honestly couldn't be happier.We absolutely loved the final result. Tim perfectly captured all of the moments of the day. We couldn't be happier. The menus were elegant, the DVD is easy to navigate, and the music fits in perfect with the video. Our favorite part is the highlights of the day. Tim was a pleasure to work with and extremely responsive. The wedding party commented that Tim was always ready to capture the key moments and there was no need to "find the videographer." We highly recommend him for your wedding.

Courtney and David Ricard, Wedding at the Bond Ballroom, Hartford, CT, 7/14/07

Dear Tim,
It was such a wonderful experience working with you. Dave and I have been trying to brainstorm another way that we could work with you again. :) You are incredibly talented and we feel very lucky that you were able to document our wedding day. We've watched our wedding video so many times now and with each viewing, the chills and tears continue to surface. Every aspect of the video is a masterpiece. The Highlight Montage truly captures the essence of the day from beginning to end. The additional running footage is so special as well to see and hear the play by play of the events. We also love the photo montage you created with Jessica Cardinali! What a way to bring a photo album to life. Thank you so much for everything! Your utmost professionalism, sincere character and extraordinary skill will forever be remembered! With each friend that becomes engaged, we look forward to spreading the word about you and hope that they make the same choice that we did. Thanks! Love, Courtney and Dave

Jenny and Jonathan, The Arabian Horse Inn, Sudbury, MA, 6/30/07

Dear Tim,
We find the film absolutely enchanting. We just wanted a record of the day - we didn't realize we were going to get a work of art in itself. It's gorgeous and my whole family has really enjoyed not only the gorgeous highlights reel, but exploring all the chapters of footage. It's simply terrific.

Marlene Boobar on her daughter's wedding at the Dunegrass of Saco, ME, 6/29/07

I thought the DVD was excellent! When I arrived at the Church the day of the wedding, Tim was already there. He took his time to set up; and had plenty of footage of the Church before the guests started arriving. Tim acted and dressed in a most professional manner. Tim also had a very calming influence. The entire DVD was completed in a very thorough and professional manner. And we received the completed DVD's in just several weeks after the wedding. I have nothing but praise for Tim's service, the finished product and the professional manner in which the DVD was completed. I would highly recommend Tim! Having a DVD of the day really brings back the day and experience for us. I had used a different videographer for my other daughter's wedding. Tim's service far exceeded the services I had received from another videographer. I am extremely pleased. Sincerely, Marlene Boobar

Jennifer and Brian Turosky, The Four Seasons, Boston, 6/23/07

I can not say enough about my film. I was in a state of bliss on the evening of my wedding and managed to live in the moment, however, I could not remember such things as the first dance, and cutting the cake. When I got the video just a few weeks after my wedding I was truly able to relive the entire day. I heard my vows, I saw my first dance, and I laughed and cried throughout the whole thing. My video exceeded my expectations and Tim listened to my request and delivered excellence. Thank you so much Tim!!!! Tim you are great!!!

Stephanie and Lance Tryder, The Doubletree Hotel, Boston, 6/14/07

Tim's work is incredible. Lance and I were so impressed with the quality and attention to detail. Tim was unintrusive, and at the same time, managed to capture each part of the day as though it was the most important. In most of the video, I had no idea Tim was even filming; I never knew he was there. I've watched the montage several times over and each time, I see something I haven't seen before. Tim's choice of footage and editing represented our day perfectly and gracefully. And he incorporated our choice of music as though he wrote the story himself. His talent and creativity were exactly what we were looking for. The DVD menu cover is simply elegant. Our wedding video depicts a classic fairy tale wedding, and we could not be more pleased. Many friends and family told us that it has brought tears to their eyes. Tim was an absolute pleasure to work with. We'd recommend him to anyone looking to capture their special moments, timelessly. Thank! you Tim, for being an integral part in preserving the memories of one of the most important days of our lives.

Thomas E. Suta and Deborah Ann Polkinghorn, The Rebecca Nurse Homestead, Danvers, MA, 6/9/07

We were expecting a simple recording of our wedding. The final product was far beyond our expectations and captured the essence of the day for us and our family. Our favorite elements were the montage after the wedding! (An option that we thought we might skip when it was offered). This simple addition to the video made it seem complete, so that anyone not there could appreciate the reality of the moment. Tim's afable personality and general ability to understand what we wanted was truly amazing, but more than that he seemed to read our minds for what we wished the general mood of the day to be for our guests and was able to portray this with his artistry! The final product reached far beyond what we anticipated from a video and preserved a moment in our history that will shine in our hearts for a lifetime. We give Timothy Bakland four stars for an excellent film. Tim needs to add another star for mind reading! Five stars from Polkinghorn and Suta for an outstanding rendering and artistry!

Colleen and Tim Donohue, Wedding at St. Michael's in Pawcatuck, CT 5/19/07

Having seen other wedding films on Tim's website, we couldn't wait to see our own. It was absolutely everything that we expected and we are so happy that we decided to have a wedding video made and especially happy that we chose Tim. Just like everyone else has said about Tim's work, we love how he captured all of the little details - the groom's engraved cufflinks that were a gift from the bride, the toasting flutes with our names and wedding date, and especially the ringbearers and flowergirl. We cannot tell you how excited they are about being in the video and you did such a beautiful job of focusing on them during different parts of the day. We also love that you thought of inserting a song for background music during the receiving line - it gives everything so much more feeling. We appreciate all of Tim's hard work as well as his wonderful customer service. It was a pleasure to work with him and we will treasure this film forever.

Karen Maxfield, Mother of the Groom, LDS Temple of Boston, 5/07

We were VERY pleased with the quality of my son's wedding DVD. Tim captured the day and the happiness of the couple. He listened to our requests and offered great ideas. He was very discreet and able to video spontaneous and natural moments. It brought tears to our eyes as we veiwed the final DVD. Tim has a great eye and the artistic elements were perfect. We appreciated the extra effort he took in providing us with the highlight video for our reception a few weeks later in Washington State. Family members were able to feel like they were part of the Boston wedding after they viewed the DVD

We were also very happy working with Tim. We live in Washington State and decided to give our son and daughter in law a wedding DVD as part of our wedding gift to them. I had to locate a local videographer and Tim surpassed our expectations. He responded quickly to my questions and was willing to work "long distance" with me. Our wedding was held at the Boston LDS temple and Tim was more than willing to work with our unique situation. I would be happy to give a personal reference: (509)-967-2207--yes, he is that good!!

Andrea and John, Wedding in Bedford, NH, 5/12/07

Hi Tim! We absolutely love our wedding video! You did a really great job...I think you surpassed any of our hopes on what to expect- it is so beautiful! We really couldn't be happier with it, so thank you very, very much.... how could anyone not love it? my family watched it last night and loved it too!! thank you again tim! Andrea

Letter from David Bruce, British Composer, to the Metropolis Ensemble of New York regarding Timothy Bakland's filming of their event: (click here to see Bakland's work with Metropolis Ensemble)

Wow. I just listened and watched through the entire film of Avner's piece and I'm so impressed on so many levels. First and foremost the string playing was absolutely exquisite [...] Thirdly the sound recording on the video is unbelievably good, as is the filming. It's one of those rare occasions where the film clip actually does you and the piece a favour instead of making them seem cheap and rough as so often happens - for me that's something of a miracle, you must tell me how you did it some time. [...] Congratulations again, David

Mike and Lindsey, Four Points Sheraton, Norwood, MA, 1/07

Thank you so much! So far, everybody we've shown the video has raved about it!! I couldn't even tell you how much we've watched it already. It's been so great to basically re-live the day and see so many different things that we had missed for one reason or another. Thank you again for all of your hard work. You were truly a pleasure to work with.

Ashley and David, The Publick House, Sturbridge, MA, 11/06

If I could have emailed you last night, I would have. I finally got around to watching the wedding DVD and I have to tell you, it was the most beautiful video I had ever watched. I literally sobbed through the whole thing, and it was a long two hours to cry let me tell you! The way you edited and incorporated music and made it look like an old time video, was absolutely superb. I am completely impressed and will probably watch it over and over again. I didn't realize that you even included the whole day's worth of footage at the end. Absolutely wonderful. I thank you immensely for all of your hard work and speedy work. My in-laws were just as impressed and my brother-in-law couldn't stop complimenting you. I can't wait to see what it will look like with the honeymoon pictures (if I ever get them developed!)!!! Again thank you so much for the amazing job you did. I couldn't have asked for a better capture of my wedding day.

Golin and Aron Kosowitz, Sandy Burr Country Club, 10/06

Your work is amazing hands down. Not only is your work incredible, but you are a kind and wonderful person to work with. You are what every bride and groom looks for in a vendor for their wedding. You don't know how much we both love the video and will cherish it forever. Thank you for everything!!!!! Feel free to have anyone call us for references, we'd be happy to do so! We're recommending you to all our friends who are getting married!!!!

Tania & Alex Case, The Hyatt at The Airport, Boston, MA, 9/06

The quality is amazing. The way it was filmed shows the knowledge Tim has in capturing people emotions and the true meaning behind the event. My favorite parts are-- I'm not sure what it's called-- but the way the film fades and the colors change from color to Black and White.

Tim's presence was great. Although I knew he was there, he was not all over us. Just seeing the preview DVD prior to our wedding he sent us to review his work I knew I had nothing to worry about. Everything is PERFECT.

This is not a loaded questionaire. If anyone has questions please call me at 781-608-7900. I'll even invite you to watch our wedding film....

This was the smartest and cheapest investment we made on our wedding!!!
Thanks Tim!

Corinne and Jeff and Jeff T., Wedding in Hartford, CT, at the Bond Ballroom, 8/06

When first planning our wedding we weren't sure if we even wanted a video. A friend recommended Tim due to his creativity and reasonable cost. I cannot put into words how grateful we are that we chose to have our day recorded on film.

Tim was one of our most professional vendors. Prior to the wedding he was extremely patient with my last-minute requests of the things I hoped he could capture (the ballroom, lots of dancing footage, etc.). On the day of the wedding I saw Tim as soon as I arrived at the chapel and when he was leaving--I truly didn't notice him any other time during the day. He made himself nearly invisible, which is exactly what we were hoping for.

After the wedding Tim truly took everything we wanted into consideration. We sent honeymoon photos and a cd that we bought on our honeymoon for him to compile a montage. He asked for song choices and incorporated nearly all of our suggestions.

When we watched our video we were truly amazed--amazed at Tim's creativity and how he truly captured our day exactly as we would have hoped. The baby picture montage in the beginning blew us away--it was so beautiful and much more creative than we had anticipated. Tim was also able to record the music from the night (provided by a band at our reception) be part of our video--so the music was live and it sounded terrific!

Our highlights montage is our personal favorite. It has all of the music suggestions we gave and captures all of our favorite parts of the day. We asked Tim to use "It's a Beautiful Day" on our video because that's what we were introduced to. He took the song and ran with it... it's truly breathtaking.

Overall We am THRILLED with my video and experience with Tim. We have already recommended him to our friends that are getting married next summer and would recommend him over and over again. He is a true
professional.

We can't thank Tim enough for creating such a beautiful keepsake of the most amazing day of our lives!

Caitlin and Jason Miele, Nahant Country Club, 8/06

The film was great! It definitely capured the fun we had that day. The vows sounded so clear during the ceremony. I was so pleased with the amount of footage you got. It was a last minute decision to get a videographer, I'm so pleased I did. This video will be something we can watch to remember the wonderful time we had. Thank you a million times over.  I can not express to you how happy you have made me and how happy my parents are going to be when I show them the [work].  You are the epitome of the most caring professional in the world.  We are so pleased.  Once again thank you!  Maybe we'll be doing business again someday.

Kim and Todd G., Wedding in Briston CT, 7/06

Our video was absolutely beautiful! The video shows the emtotion and feel of our wedding so wonderfully. Tim was able to capture moments that we didn't even realize were seen and Tim put them together so nicely to show the emotion of our day. We really enjoyed the montage because it captured every aspect of the day, we were in tears! We hired Tim, not having met him before our wedding day, but throughout the whole process we were never concerned. Tim was always professional and discrete. The DVD cover and the DVD were beautifully designed and we can't wait to share it with our family and friends. We would recommend you to any of our family or friends. Thank you for giving us such a beautiful and priceless memory of our wedding. We will always treasure it.

Kelly and Bobby Gahler, Wedding at the Nahant Bayside, MA, 7/06

We loved our wedding film! The highlight montage was great and we really liked Tim's use of "old-style" special effects. The day flew by so quickly that I really didn't remember all the details and Tim's film brought right back into the moment. ...

Tim, Thank you for helping to create a beautiful memory of our special day! We can't wait to show it to our family and friends. Thanks again, Kelly & Bobby

Paul & Colleen McMillan, Wedding at the Hawthorne Hotel in Salem, 6/06

The film quality was excellent. It allowed us to see pieces of the day that we missed. The video captured all of our family and friends and absolutely conveyed the overall feeling of our event. We especially liked the chapter set up, highlight reel and photo montage. We especially enjoyed the "old feel film" effects used in portions of the video. Overall, no critiques to add. You did a fantastic job and we couldn't be happier. We give Tim four stars! Thanks for capturing our special day!!!

Tim Averill on the filming of his fundraiser video, 2/06

As the chair of the eponymous Timothy C. Averill Debate Education Fund, I needed to make a DVD in which I could appeal to potential donors by explaining the genesis, purposes, and needs of the fund. Tim Bakland worked skillfully and efficiently to meet my needs, and filmed an interview which he edited to perfection. My entire Board of Trustees and I were exceptionally pleased with Tim's work and his good insights and high standards. The finished product is professional, polished, and pleasing.

One major advantage of working with Tim Bakland is that he is far more than a videographer. He is a true renaissance man with an impressive variety of talents and interests. Being conversant in so many worlds of endeavor, Tim is able to bring to any project far more than the mere filming of an event. He has judgment, maturity, and an intuitive sense of what works. I recommend him enthusiastically.

Tami and Michael, Wedding at the Wadsworth Mansion, CT, 12/05

Through the planning process of our wedding, as most couples do, we realized that putting on a wedding is very expensive. We tried to cut costs wherever possible, and almost decided not to do a video at all, since we had such an excellent photographer. What a mistake that would have been! Although we did have some great pictures, without the exceptional video Tim produced, we would not have been able to hear our vows again, see my father give me away, watch ourselves introduced for the first time, and then dance to our song. We would not have been able to hear the toasts our brother and sister made. When we watched the video, our memories of our wedding came rushing right back, which was so special because there were things Tim captured that we had actually forgotten. The night went by so fast that we didn't have time to fully appreciate all of it. With the video, we can. Our favorite part is the ceremony footage, because our voices, and all ceremony participants' voices are so clear, as is the music. But the amazing thing is the montage Tim created. He is such an artist! We had a fireplace burning at the ceremony, and he used that as a key visual element. We aren't great slow dancers, but he managed to capture a moment where we looked graceful, and he put that in slow motion with romantic lighting. He truly made everything look like a fairy tale. I cannot recommend Tim enough. He was unobtrusive (we often forgot he was there), and he is an absolute professional. We received our videos less than a month after the wedding, and Tim was always easy to contact if we had questions. I am so thankful I hired Tim Bakland. After all of that planning and hard work, it is so wonderful that we have our video as a record.
Thank you, Tim!

Susan S., mother of the Bar Mitzvah, Zach, Peabody, MA, 10/05

The DVD of my son Zachary's Bar Mitzvah was prepared with the utmost of professionalism and care. Having met met Tim only once prior to hiring him, I did not know what to expect. The only thing I had to go on was his spirit and obvious passion for his work. I immediately felt that I was dealing with a young and educated person who was determined to display his talents through hard work. I knew he would make it a priority to see us satisfied with his final project. The montage Tim put together brings tears to your eyes. It is so creative and fun. Tim allowed us a preview through the web to take a peak at his creation which was a terrific preview of what was to come.The DVD is categorized and allows the user to choose what areas of the day to watch. My past experience did not allow me any such function and as well did not provide me with such a thorough and complete story of the day. I must add that my past choice for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah had been at this for 20 years! My favorite part is really the montage which sums up the entire day and leaves you with a warm sense of family and love. Tim also helped us put together a complete presentation to watch the day of the Bar Mitzvah which was just wonderful. The kids, especially my son, described Tim as awesome and cool! Tim was everywhere and stayed to the very end to get everybit of the evening. I, as well as my family and friends, are extremely satisifed with Tim's work and would and will recommend him to anyone having an affair that they would like to remember! Thank you Tim and best of luck to you in your bright and prosperous future.

Debra Ries on her son's wedding in Worcester's Holy Cross Chapel, 10/05

Tim Bakland did a great job filming the wedding ceremony of my son and his bride. He captured the spirit of the wedding ceremony on film, and the montage of all of the preparation before the ceremony was wonderful. We were especially appreciative of Tim getting the DVD back to us so soon after the wedding. This was especially important to us because both of my son's grandmothers were not able to attend the wedding. Based upon our experience, we would recommend Tim Bakland. He was very professional and very accommodating with making all of the arrangements. We are especially pleased with his finished product, the DVD, which will preserve our family's wonderful memories of the wedding.

Nathan and Lia, Harrington Farms, Princeton, MA, 8/05

Tim---You blew us away! Your attention to detail was incredible, down to (and especially) the sound. Your seamless editing created a story to follow throughout the day, and the montage you put to music was especially moving. This is the work of a filmmaker, not just simply someone filming. It seems like you were there for all the right moments, even though we don’t remember seeing you! The formal moments, like the ceremony, were beautiful and dignified through your lens and the candid moments were hilarious and heartfelt. Watching your video, we realized what a special day this was not just for us, but for all our guests too. Thank you!

The film that we now have is a beautifully crafted piece of history for us to share with future family members. It is very well made, in particular the sound (music and speakers) and how it works with the images. We didn't even know that Tim was there, and he was able to capture a great account of our wedding day. I give Timothy Bakland four stars for an excellent film. Tim, thank you for the beautiful DVD! We will be ordering more soon!

Karen and Rocco Tucci, Wedding on the Cape, 7/05

The film was art! Tim assembled our best moments into a moving video drama. He truly began shooting with a final masterpiece in mind. We weren't even aware of his presence as he captured the ceremony. The soundtrack and editing were seemless. Tim spends just as much time on the sound as he does the images. We sent custom DVD's in production quality cases to our relatives. Other people who have seen the video are requesting their own DVD. I endorse his great work.
