I knew from the beginning of planning our wedding that we wanted video of our day, but was not sure it was a necessity. And then the wonderful Rachel, owner of Intricate Icings, told us about Chris Orwat at Premium Digital Solutions. She highly recommended his Cinematography Services. Once we looked at his website, and viewed several of his highlight videos on his theater page, we were sold. We knew then we HAD to have video of our day! So we crossed our fingers and hoped his prices would be reasonable. And they were! We felt fortunate to have found him with only 2 short months to go before the wedding.
Chris met with us at his location, StudioWed. He was very interested in what we were looking for, and how he could personalize our video for us. He even came to our rehearsal and shot footage (which he later included for us), which we were not even expecting.
The day of our wedding, unfortunately for us, was drizzling rain. We knew that we had to move our planned outdoor wedding inside. But to our complete astonishment, Chris had brought with him over 20 white umbrellas (just in case), and we were able to have our ceremony outside, with our guests covered from the rain. Now that is what I call above and beyond!!
But the real review is for his cinematography. We were truly blown away by our finished Blu Ray DVD. The quality was excellent, the high definition made for very clean, crisp images. Chris is truly talented! He had some great ideas for shots, and was very professional throughout working him. With his eye for detail, his creativity, and modern artistic approach, he captured our day better than we could have ever imagined. Through video, he told a story of our wedding- starting with getting ready, and ending with us pulling away at the end of the night. Chris caught the emotions, the glances...everything so that we can literally relive our day whenever we want. Being able to hear our ceremony back, along with the speeches, and the well wishes of our guest, are all memories that we are so happy to have captured on DVD. It was the best wedding investment that we made! :)

Chris did a fabulous job for us! He was very professional, flexible, and went above and beyond the call of duty! The end product was more that I could have hoped for. Don't shop around, Chris is definitely your guy, you won't regret it.

It has been such a pleasure working with Premium Digital Solutions!! From the planning stages of our wedding throughout the wedding day itself and these several months after our wedding was over, Chris Orwat with Premium Digital Solutions has been incredible to work with! From our initial meeting with Chris, his professionalism, passion and talent for what he does was very obvious!
I was one of the many brides who had gone over budget throughout the planning process, and went back and forth about hiring a videographer for our wedding. All I can say is it was THE BEST decision we made to hire Premium Digital Solutions to capture our wedding day! Only a few weeks after our wedding, we received the DVD which was absolutely AMAZING!!! The wedding day of was somewhat chaotic and stressful, but Chris' positive attitude, energy and professionalism had Ryan and I, our families and guests at ease. Chris captured so many subtleties that we were totally unaware of on our wedding day...he was always in the right place at the right time (he literally did not miss one thing), and I was blown away at his ability to put the most memorable day of our lives into a 2 hour story for us to enjoy for the rest of our lives. The clarity and digital effects are top notch, not to mention all of the creativity he used for the music, subtitles, still shots and digital effects! What a gift it has been and will continue to be throughout the years, that we can "rewind" back to the greatest day of our life and hear our vows, remember the toasts, laugh about our friend's crazy dance moves and remember all of details that we spent so much time planning that disappear after the day is done.
Chris is confident, organized and extremely well prepared...not to mention, many of our guests commented on his friendly personality and ability to make himself part of the action without being distracting.
I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend hiring Chris with Premium Digital Solutions! It will honestly be the best life-long investment you will ever make!

We are so happy with our wedding video made by Chris. The wedding day went by so fast and we saw a lot of things in the video that we did not see that day. Chris came to our rehearsal to get a feel for our wedding and came to our hotel early on the wedding day and stayed at the reception late. I cannot come up the words that would describe how happy and pleased we are with the video. Choose Premium Digital Solutions for your wedding.

We cannot rave enough to our friends and family what great work our videographer did for our wedding. He was very talented in creating good images and it was like watching a movie. Got great shots that I wouldn't even think of doing and the quality of lighting/sound was artistic. Overall, very excellent job!
Our experience with Chris, beginning to end, was outstanding; a 5++ Chris is extremely detail oriented and professional, which shows in the video he filmed and produced for our daughter's wedding. He is also an extremely pleasant gentleman and was very accommodating.
The wedding video is very much like watching a music video or mini-movie. Chris' filming and editing are far superior to anything I have seen produced by other wedding videographers.
Chris craftfully and artistically captured the fun and excitement of the Day by filming the "right look" or catching someone saying something funny.
You will not be disappointed in hiring Premium Digital Solutions; we definitely were not!

Chris from Premium Digital Solutions created our dream wedding video. The day of the wedding Chris knew exactly how to get the great, fun shots we wanted. He captured the essence of our wedding perfectly. Not only did he get amazing video of our ceremony, reception and guests but he also filmed fun extras like the scenery, wildlife and behind the scenes to tie the whole wedding weekend together. We get teary eyed every time we watch our wedding video. The video is just what we wanted to remember our special day. Chris was wonderful to work with and we highly recommend him.

My wife and I were not sure if we really wanted to hire a Videographer for our wedding. We already had a photographer and didn’t really know if we should spend the extra money to have the video as well. We are so extremely happy that we decided to do the video too! Pictures are great to have but nothing can compare to seeing the actual day on video and remembering how wonderful everything was and hearing your guests give their best wishes to you, and actually hearing the speeches from the Maid of Honor and Best Man. Our video exceeded all of our expectations and was done so professionally with a wonderful menu option so we can jump to exactly the parts we want to share with people. We would strongly recommend Premium Digital Solutions to anyone about to get married that wants to be able to share and relive this wonderful occasion!

Chris did an exceptional job for our wedding! We were told from friends and family that a video is must BUT when choosing Chris Orwat we received not a simple video but rather a storybook fairytale of the day. Chris was there every step of the way and truly knew how to capture our most special moments along with a lot of comedy with our entertaining friends and family. If you are expecting a simple video from Chris then think again, from our very own personal music video to wedding chapters and plenty of extras we will be able to forever remember all the details of our Wedding Day! Thanks Chris!

We are so glad we went with Premium Digital Solutions for our wedding. Chris did a fantastic job and it came out looking so professional. We got extra copies for our parents. We will cherish having this DVD to watch in the years to come. Also, the price was so reasonable for all of the time he spent on our wedding day and then editing it! I will use him again for any big events.

I have to say that hiring Chris was truly one of the best things that we did! We did not know what to expect, and honestly, the video was not a priority in the long laundry list of “to dos”. After much encouragement from our friends, we decided to move forward with a video of the wedding and ultimately with Chris. From the beginning, Chris just made it so easy – his recommendations and suggestions were spot on! He also took it upon himself to go up to the wedding site before the ceremony and capture some wonderful footage that was spectacular and offered us some great additions to the video. On the wedding day, Chris was not only “unobtrusive”, but when it started to pour down rain right before the ceremony, he was actually one of the calming forces that told us to “hang tight, the weather will change – its Colorado after all!” – and it did!!! In the end, the video far exceeded our expectations, and it helped capture priceless moments that we would not have otherwise seen or remembered. Heck, if it wasn’t for Chris’s video, we wouldn’t have had any idea what was played as we walked down the aisle! The final video was beautifully edited, very tasteful and something we will treasure always. Thank you Chris and Premium Digital Solutions for a great product and for making it fun – we’ll refer you 1000 times over!!

Premium Digital Solutions did an excellent job of capturing our entire wedding procession on video. They created DVDs for us that included a sequential index of all of the individual parts of the ceremony as well as only the wedding highlights, etc. and took great care and pride in producing a permanent, high quality digital memory of our events!
Chris was wonderful to work with, he is professional, patient and creative. In addition to his outstanding videography, he created a touching slideshow for our reception (including choreographing some background songs to the pictures and home movies we provided to him) that was truly a memorable delight. You really can't go wrong with Chris!

We were married on May 31, 2008 and Chris was our videographer. Chris was amazing and we are so glad that we chose Premium Digital Solutions. Chris went above and beyond for us in everything that he did. He attended the wedding rehearsal as well as the wedding ceremony and reception. Chris arrived on our wedding day at noon to get some "getting ready" footage and stayed until the very end of the reception (midnight)!! He was there to capture EVERY moment of our incredible day. He was very professional and had some really creative ideas for our video!! We are so incredibly happy with the final product!! It is so cool to be able to sit down and watch the video and relive our special day over and over again!! We can't thank Chris enough for all of his hard work!! We would highly recommend him to our family and friends!!

We were on the fence with the whole wedding video thing, torn between thinking it was going to end up as some cheesy DVD we’d never want to watch, and knowing that it could someday be an invaluable way to remember not only our wedding, but our family and friends, as well. Chris was recommended to us- we hired him and are so happy we did.
Not only did the video capture the events of the day, but it captured the ‘feel’ of the day. Jeff and I wanted to have a fantastic party with a wedding thrown in for fun- that’s just what we did, and that’s just what the video imparts. The footage of the ceremony is perfect and the reception is fabulous- all the people we care about most, all in one space having a ball, as were we. Some of the day’s events were a blur- we couldn’t necessarily remember the specifics, so having the DVD capture the antics and especially the toasts, not only the words, but the sentiment, is so great. Chris condensed 6-7 hours of footage from our wedding day, the end result is a true reflection- personal and fun.

We just wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did on our wedding video. As you know - we did this as a last minute thing and couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome! With very little direction from us, you produced an amazing, professional, and perfect video. We also heard from many of our guests how professional and unobtrusive you were, which was very refreshing. Thanks again for all of your extra effort - because of you we'll always be able to remember every perfect aspect of our wedding!!

Chris was great! We are so pleased with our finished video and Chris's editing. I think one key thing about Chris, is that he really is "behind the scenes." He wasn't intrusive and I barely remember him being there, yet he captured all of our special moments. I would highly recommend him to any friends or family for videography. He also put up with our friends wanting to do several dedications, which took an enormous amount of patience. I can't wait to show our video to our family - thanks Chris!
Susan and Chris Earley – June 2nd, 2007
My husband and I were married on a beautiful beach in Mexico. As a wedding photographer myself, my priority was stills and not video; however, my parents and grandmother (who was unable to attend) really wanted the day on film. So we compromised and brought our own video camera instead of hiring a videographer. What a mistake! A well-meaning friend taped the ceremony and some of the reception for us. At the time, we thought - great! BUT...then we got home and watched the footage. What a mess! We thought there was nothing worth salvaging but we called Chris of Premium Digital Solutions anyway to see if there was 'anything' he could do to help us. Well, let's just say that Chris is a miracle worker! Really! He is! He took our real sorry footage and created a masterpiece! We could not have been more happy. That is, unless we hired Chris in the first place to videotape our wedding! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Chris!!

Chris was the videographer for our wedding. It wasn't something we necessarily thought we wanted or needed, but decided to get. In the end, we can't even believe we'd of considered not having Chris there to capture our day in such an amazing way! He was there for all of the details, catching what our photographer could not - the words that were spoken, the sounds of the day, my father crying while we danced. He was SO great at getting in there to capture the moment, without being obtrusive. I hardly noticed him there with his video camera.
