Gage Horne Studios 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Ava, IL for additional fees

My name is Gage Horne, the owner of Gage Horne Studios. I started my company in 2019 (officially) but have been doing video work starting at the age of 11. It started as gaming videos uploaded to YouTube, to shooting professional dance films in college, to starting my own Video Production Service. I found true passion in my work when I realized how important wedding videos are. I had already shot 100+ films before my wedding but realized as a consumer how valuable it is. I love what I do and finding intriguing/interesting ways to display those pieces is what keeps me creative and constantly making my films better.

His finished product is very professionally completed and he captures the heart and the love of the couples and their most important day!

We recently had the pleasure of hiring an outstanding DJ (Adam) and photo booth attendant for our wedding, and I can confidently say that they did an incredible job. Their exceptional performance left a lasting impression on us and our guests, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of entertainment services for their special event. Firstly, the DJ's ability to read the crowd and create an electrifying atmosphere was truly commendable. They seamlessly transitioned between songs, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed throughout the entire evening. Their music selection was diverse, catering to all age groups and musical preferences, ensuring that everyone had a fantastic time. Moreover, their professionalism and attention to detail were evident from the start. They were well-prepared, arriving early to set up their equipment and ensuring that everything was in perfect working order. Additionally, their charismatic personality and ability to engage with the crowd enhanced the overall experience, making the night even more memorable. The photo booth service provided by them was an absolute hit among our guests. The booth itself was stylish and well-maintained, creating a fun and interactive space for everyone to capture special moments. They offered a wide array of props, allowing guests to unleash their creativity and have a blast taking photos. The booth attendant was friendly, helpful, and ensured that everything ran smoothly. Overall, the DJ and photo booth attendant we hired for our wedding exceeded our expectations in every aspect. Their remarkable talent, professionalism, and dedication to providing an unforgettable experience were truly outstanding. I cannot recommend them enough to anyone in search of exceptional entertainment services for their special event. They played a vital role in making our wedding day truly remarkable, and for that, we are incredibly grateful.

There is no better DJ than DJ Martin. He had us fill out a questionnaire that helped guide us through planning our entire wedding day and ultimately the absolute BEST PARTY ever! I have never seen so many people on a dance floor as I did at our wedding reception. Instead of a head table, we put the DJ façade on the stage where the head tables would have been so that he was the center of attention. Ultimately, it was the best decision. He was able to be close to the dance floor, feel the crowd, and have a good time. He also listened to us on our music choices and guided us on things we were unsure of. We highly recommend Ultimate Beats Entertainment.

Our wedding day was insanely chaotic and nothing went to plan - but Alex was SO calm and collected, it made my husband and I feel so at peace knowing our videographer and team were not worried. You spend the entire day with your video and photo team, so it was important for us to choose people we liked and could connect to and Alex Films was exactly that.

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

Diana was amazing! She did over and beyond what I was expecting. The engagement photos were gorgeous and she gave us alot of options. Communication was perfect and the day of she just jumped right in and we all came out with a new friend! My new family was impressed and loved her. My 13 year old daughter was her assistant* lol and fell in love with Diana as well. She captured every special moment and memory. I recommend her to everyone!!

By the time she was three years old, Olivia Claggett was asking for a harp teacher.

She never looked back after her first lesson in October 2007. During her many years as a student, Olivia continued to push herself musically by competing in numerous competitions winning the annual Buckeye Christian School Organization’s spring competition for five consecutive years.

WOW, truly a remarkable experience, having Olivia and her harp at our wedding made the entire ceremony so memorable and unbelievably magical. Her talent is something that is out of this world, truly a gift. Her communication throughout the entire process was stressless, not only can you go over each element and song you're thinking about for the wedding. She is punctual and is flawless with set up and tear down. She truly adds the most perfect element to our wedding and are so grateful she was able to help add the most perfect touch to our big day.

Team Yellow Rose truly brought our vision to life. From our initial consultation, I knew that Isabel and I were on the same page. Isabel was creative with different ways to maintain our budget. She went above and beyond by MAKING CANDLES in the exact shade I wanted when we could not find any. Though we did not meet in person often, she was always a quick text or call away which we really valued. I can't thank this team enough for making our dream wedding a reality.

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day. Your wedding should not feel like a performance. Let go of boring wedding traditions, think outside of the box and create something unique that has never been done before. Whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day? I am more than your wedding photographer, I am your guide, biggest fan, and the curator of your love story, I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens.

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer! From our initial meeting, Danielle took the time to really get to know us and understand our vision for the day. She arrived early and jumped into action, ensuring she didn’t miss a single moment. She kept us on track all day, and liaised seamlessly with the venue staff. It really felt like we had friends helping us through the day, having our backs and making sure our vision was realized. The photos are absolutely stunning and truly capture the joy of our celebration. We’re so grateful for Danielle’s professionalism and talent! Book her!
