Gage Horne Studios

  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Hunter Aaf, GA 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.

Hi, I'm Juan! A 26 year old videographer who started 9 years ago to work in the beautiful world of filmmakers, 7 years ago I did my first wedding and it was the most beautiful moment of my career, I cried behind the camera when I saw the couple crying at the ceremony. From that moment on I knew that this would be my specialty, that the importance that every bride and groom put in their wedding would be the same importance that I would put in making every video, every shot, every angle, every color, equally beautiful and important 💍 When you hire me is to hire the best price and the best quality.

While Juan may be new to the wedding industry, I have no doubt that he is destined to shine bright. His talent, passion, and dedication are undeniable, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him. I have no doubt that he will become a sought-after name in the wedding industry, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to any couple looking for a photographer or videographer who truly cares about their craft.

Hello there! I'm Denis Zwicky, a filmmaker from California. I'm utterly captivated by the beauty of weddings and by couples who yearn for more than just a run-of-the-mill video montage set to music. My passion lies in crafting unique cinematic experiences that tug at the heartstrings long after the vows are exchanged. I'm a stickler for detail, pouring my heart and soul into every frame to ensure the finest outcome. There's nothing more rewarding than hearing from couples that my videos leave them spellbound, prompting them to relive their special day time and time again.

My wife and I weren't planning on having a videographer but decided to get one fairly last minute and we have to say it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Denis was superb and we really appreciated his patience and attention to detail not only with the lead up to the day but also following the wedding. Good job!

The Waters production team did an excellent job capturing our wedding day. At first, my fiancé and I were not sure that we would be able to fit a videographer into our budget and we almost didn't get one. But after seeing the video that Rachel and her team put together, I can't imagine not having it. It captures the feelings and the emotions of the day in such a special way. Rachel and her team were very professional and responsive. On the wedding day, they blended into the background, and I barely knew they were there! They did such a great job of capturing the moments without intruding. I would definitely recommend them to engaged couples! 10/10!

Neal and I were extremely happy with Driftr Films. Danny captured our wedding ceremony at Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery (in Livermore wine country) on July 25th beautifully! We were so please to be able to have this memory for us. Danny was highly professional and personable, and the video and audio came out perfect! He delivered a link with our ceremony and a short reel the next day via email! The link was easy to access and the video downloaded with no problem at all. We can also use the link to share with friends and family. We really appreciated how Danny was willing to work with us to put together a package for us to just capture the ceremony. His pricing was also very reasonable compared to other vendors. He also took the time to get to know us as a couple before the ceremony through a combination of online questionnaire and a video meeting two weeks before our big day. We highly recommend Danny and Driftr Films.

I’m a wedding videographer located in Lubbock, TX and i love my job.

I deeply regretted not hiring a videographer for my wedding and have lost the chance to correct that mistake. Now I get to shoot gorgeous weddings with beautiful couples reflecting and capturing through video all the laughs, tears of joy, heart felt moments, and love between them. So that they can replay those moments in their hearts forever.

Steph. Matthews videography was everything i could have asked for! He listened to what I wanted and made my dream wedding video come true! Can’t thank him enough for the video I’ll share forever!

Mike was so great to work with for our wedding. Initially I wasn’t planning on having a videographer because I didn’t want our wedding to feel like a production.

I know we will treasure these moments, especially the speeches, for the rest of our lives.

I love what I get to do!! It’s my PASSION! I enjoy capturing all of the beautiful and unscripted moments. I love how every wedding is different and each one presents its unique moments that I seek after. I also do photography but I gotta say, there’s something extra special about being able to bring those photos to life and turning them into your own movie, so that you can relive every moment of your day instead of just seeing them in pictures. You get to feel the emotions and relive the moments with loved ones.

Alex is super friendly and fun to work with! He has a positive attitude and lots of energy that keeps his shoots exciting. His pictures are also great! I love the style of his editing.

We had Magical Multimedia be our videographer for our wedding and my husband and I could not be more impressed! Andrew and his second shooter were very nice and helped make suggestions to create great clips for the film. They captured the key parts of our special day and seamlessly wove it together to create a video that showed the highlights as well as the entirety of our ceremony, first dance, and toasts. Andrew went above and beyond by surprising us with a tablet that was placed in a cover that had our wedding photo on it. Now we can reminisce on our special day any time we want. If you're looking for a videographer, then look no further because this guy is the best!

We believe each couple’s commitment to love has the power to make the world a better place, and the unique way each couple views this commitment informs our storytelling more than anything.

It has been a year already. Time flies! Erika and I just watched our wedding film again on our first anniversary. I have to say, the short film from Forget Me Knot Media that Matt Talarico and Peter Hoffman crafted is a work of artistry that holds the test of time. Matt and Peter captured all of the magical moments and emotions of the day. I am so grateful to them that we were able to relive those timeless moments. They don't just produce a wedding video. They produced a story of our love documented those feelings that we had on that day. The photography was amazing as well but the short film really knocked it out of the park. Remembering back to that day, they were invisible at all the right moments and fun to hang out with during our downtimes - just like old friends. These guys are experts at their craft and I would recommend them for their artistry and would hire Matt and crew again for any special life event that I wanted to be captured forever. https://www.fmnmedia.com/

Josh and Tori shot our wedding in May of 2020 amidst all the uncertainty of a Covid wedding! They were so flexible and professional during that time, and we were so thankful! They are considerate and sweet, while remaining detailed and organized, which proves to be a valuable skill set balance for someone who will follow you around, be in your personal space, and capture the most precious moments of such a significant day! And the videography they produce is stunning! My Mother in Law couldn't stop telling people about how amazing it was, that it looked like a Hollywood budget movie! And she never gushes about anything haha! Since my wedding in 2020, I started my own successful luxury wedding planning business, and I am more convinced now than ever that Josh and Tori are the most caring, talented, and professional video team! I've seen Josh pour over his footage for hours, painstakingly editing each frame for the best light and color balance. The care and love his team puts into their work is unparalleled! Their turnaround times are reasonable and considerate. You could not ask for a more dedicated and skilled video team.
