Luke Porter Films — 
Rating: 1/5 (2019-05-27)
Review: My fiancé and I had Luke scheduled for over 6 months for our first look video and wedding day. 6 days before we were supposed to do our first look I got a text at 11pm saying he wouldn’t be able to make it to our first look anymore because he had booked a destination wedding and wouldn’t be back in time, despite the fact he had picked the day to do it in the first place. After we asked for a full refund, he only sent us part of our money even though we have nothing saying any of our money was non refundable... and now he has totally ghosted my fiancé and I without refunding our money.. I thought this was the kind of stuff you only heard about. Not reliable at all. I should have had my red flag when the first time meeting him he was an hour late, his communication is terrible and would take days or even weeks to get a response from him for a simple question. 10/10 would NOT recommend.

**EDIT**
Our deposit was in fact refunded. But while our money was given back, I still would not recommend Luke. Prior to giving him any money, he was quick at getting back to me. After we had given him money his communicating almost stopped and he would take days or weeks to respond to texts, emails, or DM’s. The first time we met up with him he was an hour late. On May 16th he said he had booked a wedding in Mexico and would be unable to make our shoot, which was on May 22nd. We didn’t hear from him until May 19th, and when we did he dropped the “F” bomb on my fiancé saying “why the f*** would I give you any more money now” because we have him a negative review on Instagram. He had been all over the place in what he tells us. First he says our first look video is $500, but then says our first look is “included” with booking a wedding, as if this is a good reason to bail on prior commitments. He responded very negatively to confrontation, swearing multiple times. It was after the negative reviews on social media that our money was received on May24th. The only times he would make any contact with us is if he was called out on social media. Luke’s wife also reached out to me on Instagram asking me to take my negative review down because our money was given back, but it does not change what a negative experience this has been. He then offered us to do a shoot totally free, but then says he would not work with us. He has caused so much stress right before our wedding, instead of comforting us during this stressful time. I am very sad this had happened, because I think Luke has amazing work and I would watch his videos over and over again just thinking how excited we are.
