When Chris and I got married, we knew that we wanted a videographer for our wedding, but we had seen so many long and boring videos and wanted to make sure that that was not what we were going to get. Luckily, my maid of honor found Zack (Frequent Flyer Productions) while perusing around on the knot. We looked at the samples on his website and were instantly sold! The documentary style with music capturing the whole day was perfect! Plus, we got all of the goodies in the extras portion and didn’t miss a thing. Zack is amazing to work with. He was always very quick, professional, yet personable when responding to my emails and questions. Zack couldn’t have been more fitting for both Chris and me. He was the sole camera operator and was able to capture the entire day, with many locations, all while making us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. His personality was a perfect fit with mine, Chris’, and our bridal party, and our photographers! We all had such a blast with each other. As for the dvd, I cannot stop watching it! Zack obviously has a raw talent for this. He was able to put our personalities into the dvd which is the most amazing—from the silly little facial expressions to the slight tickle of the fingers, he got it all, and it is very much us! Our families and friends also really love the dvd’s. They told me that they have watched it several times as well!
Zack, we have really enjoyed working with you. We wish we could do it all over again because you were so fun to be around! You are incredibly talented and we are extremely lucky to have had you capture such an important moment in our lives. We cannot thank you enough. Thank you, thank you!Chris and Crystal Mamoulelis - Married May 18, 2008

Dealing with Frequent Flyer Productions has been no less than excellent. Zack is fun, energetic, and can be a total fly on the wall. The day of the wedding he made the entire wedding party feel at ease and not even our family noticed he was there and he still captured the entire event. Once it was time to get down to working on our material, we started talking about music. We gave him ideas of our musical taste, but really, with him, you don't need to since he seems to pick the perfect songs for it all! The final result was nothing short of spectacular! The DVD was like any real movie DVD. The main footage was edited into the story of the day, and the 'extras' had separate sections for the ceremony, cake cutting, dancing, speeches, and other fun stuff. Once we popped it in and pressed play, both the hubby and I sat there in awe of how beautiful everything was captured. He used different techniques that reallyenhanced each moment! It was in simplest terms: PERFECTION!! Would I recommend him? In a heart beat!Matt & Linda Marciano - Married October 27, 2007

We loved the video. You really captured our wedding day the way we remembered it. I have already watched it over 5 times. :) You did such a great job editing everything with the music. I loved the song you picked for the ceremony, especially the part where I am walking down the stairs in my dress. The music went perfect with that. I am so happy that we have such a great video to remember our wedding day by. You really did a fantastic job. Thank you so much!Zach and Ashley Finley - Married January 6, 2008
Andy and I interviewed 6 videographers before meeting with Zack, and we knew immediately that he was the guy we had been holding out for. His personable, laid back, yet professional attitude allowed us to feel like we were chatting with an old friend, rather than a wedding vendor. We instantly became attracted to his video and editing style, and booked him on the spot. Eric, Zack’s second-in-command video guy, was the camera operator of our wedding, and he did a fantastic job! Eric arrived to the wedding on time, was immaculately dressed, was polite and courteous, and filmed hours upon hours of amazing footage, all while going undetected the entire day! While Eric was the one doing the filming on the big day, Zack was the one to do all of the editing of our video. Andy and I eagerly anticipated receiving the final edit of our wedding video, and we were not disappointed. The effort and work that Zack puts into each of his videos is evident with the final cut that you play on your DVD player. Eric and Zack were able to capture all of the tender, loving, and cherished moments of our wedding day, and show just how truly special the day was for us. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to hire Frequent Flyer Productions to film the most special day in our lives thus far!Andy and Jennifer Park - Married December 29, 2007
I can't recommend Frequent Flyer Productions highly enough. Zack shot our wedding three years ago and I still tell every engaged couple that they have to get him! I adore our wedding video. On our wedding day, Zack was warm and unintimidating and somehow managed to capture everything without being obtrusive at all. And the final product is something I never could have expected. It's beautiful and dynamic - Zack caught my husband on the mic practicing his vows and cut it in, he caught me dancing for joy right after the ceremony, something no one saw... He captures the heart of the couple and the day with a fresh and unique style. He's really an artist and my husband and I were so lucky to have someone so talented play such a big part in our day.

When we hired Zack, we had some idea of his skill from the clips we watched on his website. We were only able to fully appreciate his work, however, when we saw what he did with our wedding. The first time we watched the video, we were floored by the extent to which he was able to capture the feel of the day and to make it very personal to us. We called him immediately to rave to him about how much we enjoyed the video. The second time we watched it, immediately following our call to Zack, we were again so overwhelmed by feeling that we needed to call and thank him a second time. There is no comparison between Zack’s video and the work product of other videographers. He pays so much attention to detail, to the emotion of the day . . . not just that between the bride and groom, but the emotional experience of the wedding party and the wedding guests. His music selection effectively enhances the already storytelling of the visuals. He created a movie telling the story of the most important day in our relationship. Had we to do again, we would most certainly, without reservation, hire Zack Mathers and Frequent Flyer Productions.

Gloria and I got married on July 21, 2007 and our experience with Zack and Frequent Flyer Productions was fantastic. During a time where we had so many other things to worry about, it was always a pleasure to work with Zack -- lots of reassurance, patience and a confidence that everything would turn out great. And it did. The weeks leading up to the wedding, Zack proactively reached out and gave us a head's up about the music, logistics, etc -- he asked the right questions and took time to find out what was important to us and became well-acquainted with the big day. His check-in emails were so timely and much appreciated. On the wedding day itself, Zack and his staff were punctual and spent a lot of time with us; we felt like they got so much footage of the pre-wedding festivities and paid a lot of attention to everything that was going on. Zack and crew were extremely considerate and literally flies on the wall during the festivities as well -- they blended in and all the things we had discussed were carried out to a T. But at the end of the day, it's the video that counts and we were extremely pleased with what we got. Much like the samples, it's contemporary, unique and really captures the essence of our relationship and our day. Zack and his crew have a great sense of style and musical ear (he also really took our input to heart!), and this really helped to make the video what it was. It flows really well, it's funky and something we're absolutely proud of owning. Everything about Frequent Flyer was great and we had such a good experience that we've recommended Frequent Flyer to several other couples!Gabe and Gloria Chua - Married July 21, 2007
