TESTIMONIALS

 
 

Morningstar films was an absolute joy to work with. Ellen truly knows her stuff and produced an engagement video my husband and I will cherish forever. If you are looking for a videographer I would suggest using Morningstar films, you will not be disappointed.

Ellen is GOLD!! We have zero regrets hiring her to film our wedding. 2020 was a crazy year for brides and she was a highlight of our wedding. There are not enough words to say about Ellen.

We had a previous awful experience with another company (had to cancel and lost a lot of money), my husband was hesitant to sign another contract, I was upfront with Ellen about this and she made it so easy and comfortable to sign the contract.

We talked about all aspects of the wedding film and everything that was important to me. I chose the ceremony film because some very important people couldn’t come to our wedding (because of Covid rules and age), we had planned something back home to show them the ceremony (shortly after our actual wedding). Ellen was super fast getting us the ceremony film and added some special features to show our loved ones before our highlight film was done.

On our wedding day there were literal natural disasters happening around us, and even bigger natural disasters happening where a large portion of guests were coming from. Half our guests cancelled the night before, obviously this was hard as a bride. Our wedding film shows all the AMAZING parts of our wedding, you would have never known that so many things were happening that weren’t ideal. Our photographers second shooter even cancelled on us last minute and Ellen was yet again to the rescue and brought another photographer to help out!

Ellen has become not only someone I highly recommend for other brides but a friend to our family. ELLEN IS GOLD

I wish I could give more than 5 stars!!! Ellen is the most amazing filmographer. I was one of the crazy brides who kept my wedding during the pandemic... She had no problems traveling to Montana to film my day before river float with my wedding party and also the day of my wedding. She was there for me professionally and emotionally. Planning a covid wedding was incredibly stressful, Ellen helped me through all of my planning and unplanning when mandates where placed literally a week before my wedding. She helped me pull off my vision in more ways than I could have ever expected. You would never know there was only 50 people at my wedding when there was supposed to be close to 500! My film catches all the feels from the day before float on the Madison River (you won't find many filmographers who will pack all their expensive equipment into a river tube) to the next day of our intimate wedding with only immediate family being able to attend.
We have received so many compliments on our film and almost everyone said they cried and laughed with us while watching. It was so hard having the wedding without the rest of our families and close friends being able to attend. For them to be able to watch our film and feel as though they got to experience our big day with us is just such an amazing feat to pull off.
Ellen was so much fun!!! (I can't emphasize this enough) If you want a personable, outgoing and professional filmographer Morningstar Films is who you need to book! I will cherish my two days worth of film and also the friendship I've made with Ellen during our wedding weekend.

If you have been thinking about working with Morningstar Films... stop thinking and book right NOW!!

Ellen is amazing to work with and extremely talented! She is fun, professional and has a eye for all of the right shots. She not only creates beautiful moments, but captures the genuine ones too

I am SO glad that Ellen was the one to make my wedding video! Her video captured the day in an unmatched way, and ended up being one of my favorite parts of my wedding. All in all, I could not have been happier with my videos (She also made an awesome engagement video for us!) Thanks to Ellen, I look forward to reliving my wedding day again and again.

“We LOVED Ellen!!!!! 🙌 Talk about some amazing talent!! We had never had our photos taken professionally & didn't know what to expect. I always wanted those lovey, in the moment, couple pictures, but didn't know if we would just end up looking awkward lol! Not the case with Ellen!! She makes you so comfortable & you don't even know that she's capturing all of these amazing shots!! When I saw our pics it literally made me cry because they looked AMAZING & it was EXACTLY what I always dreamed of having for my husband & I❤️ If you haven't had Ellen as your photographer/filmmaker you are totally missing out! Just saying!!!! Get a hold of this woman because you NEED her work on your wall-NOW.”

“I can not recommend Ellen enough! I’m located in the Flathead Valley, MT and genuinely struggled to find a videographer who matched what I wanted. My photographer recommended Ellen and I simply could not be more thankful. The video of my wedding day is BEAUTIFUL and so much more than I had even hoped! Ellen nailed it for sure!

If there’s one thing I can absolutely stress to any brides wondering if they should spend more of their budget on a photographer/videographer, my advice is: DO IT. When your day is over and done, photos and videos will be all you have left to relive it. Ellen’s video so beautifully captured our day, I’d love to relive it again. My wedding day went by so fast & in such a blur, that every time I re-watch my video, I see something new in it! She got to capture what was going on in all the places I was and also couldn’t be (like my husband and I getting to see each other getting ready thanks to the video!). I truly can not say enough good things about the quality of her product and how much she enhanced not only my wedding day, but my experience as a whole.

Thank you Ellen!! Morningstar Films is THE BEST!!!”

“Ellen captured our wedding beyond anything we expected. She did an amazing job of keeping us on track, handling all of our family members, and most of all she got some extremely beautiful shots. My favorite part was when my husband and I exchanged letters without seeing one another, prior to the ceremony. That moment was so special to me and Ellen captured all those feelings in her pictures. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. She helped with the itinerary, music ideas, and calming talks along the way. All this at a reasonable price. Thank you Ellen! Your expertise is truly amazing.”
