Herbert was incredibly professional, flexible, and easy to work with. He really took the time to understand our vision and bring it to life in the best way possible. He even worked with us and gave us recommendations on how to best capture our special day. During the wedding he was professional, respected the guests and their space yet was still able to capture the important moments in such a magical way. The final video was absolutely amazing. It felt personal and emotional to us. We highly recommend Herbert to anyone looking for a talented and reliable videographer for their wedding! Thank you! read more

I could write a novel about how wonderful it was working with Herbert! He is kind, friendly, detailed oriented & incredibly talented! We got in touch over a Reddit post my wife made trying to find videographers in the Los Angeles area. Herbert makes you feel comfortable & isn't afraid to ask to retake a shot. His work is superb and I could not recommend him enough! I highly recommend investing in a wedding video to remember your special day for years to come! My wife & I literally cry tears of joy whenever we watch our video. Thank you Herbert! It was an honor working together! read more

So happy with the end result and the experience with A Colored Mind's videography for our intimate wedding ceremony! Herbert came in with a competitive rate for our elopement ceremony in San Diego and was able to provide 4k footage and the raw footage of our event! I was able to tell him what we wanted captured for our event and the team delivered. We wanted an hour of footage of our ceremony and we were on a budget, and we could not be happier with how everything turned out. Not only did Herbert and the team accommodate our request to get footage earlier so we could show our family at a second wedding celebration, but he adjusted our footage and background music to our request in a timely manner. I highly recommend going with A Colored Mind for your wedding videography! read more

Herbert, Kseniia, Mark, and Chris were such a joy to work with. They were basically our coordinator at all three of our weddings, making sure we had every shot with every person and, of course, plenty with my husband and me. They all have different styles of videography/ photography, all taken with fun, patience, and total respect for your time and wishes. We could tell they really love what they do, and we were so grateful to have such an amazing group be the most important part of our wedding so we can continue cherishing these beautifully captured memories. Hopefully we'll find another occasion to celebrate with A Colored Mind again! read more

See all

5 stars aren't enough to describe how amazing Herbert and his team are. From the start of the process, Herbert made us feel taken care of and stress-free. Photography and video for a wedding can be a very stressful part of wedding planning and very crucial. These pictures and videos will be seen for the rest of our lives so we wanted to make sure we had someone who truly cared about us. Herbert delivered above and beyond all my expectations. The day of the wedding, Herbert and his team were on-time and professional. They blended in so well and worked with our wedding coordinator. Then, we got the videos and pics from Herbert. AMAZING! All my friends and family rave about Herbert's style and movie-like quality. Every video he takes feels like a film. Unique to the couple and with careful crafting. I have recommended Herbert to several couples and will continue to do so in the future. Overall, I can say it was a fantastic blessing finding Herbert and my wife and I can safely watch our wedding video with our family and friends knowing they will experience all the joy and emotions of the day because Herbert did a fantastic job capturing it all. Thank you Herbert! read more

We got married on 12/20/24 after being engaged for only about a month and found Herbert through a recommendation on Reddit. This was our first time working with a videographer, and Herbert made the experience so easy and enjoyable. He was quick to respond, took the time to do a video call with us, and was super flexible when we ran late on the wedding day--he even showed up early! He also took the extra time to create a separate video of our vows to each other, which we really appreciated. We felt listened to throughout the process, and Herbert worked with us to bring our vision to life. We love our wedding highlight video and would definitely work with him again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a professional and personable videographer! read more

Herbert was phenomenal. We met him during a wedding convention and his work immediately stood out amongst the other vendors there. He's got a wonderful array of tools to suit any wedding or event. He shot our intimate 35 person wedding and was professional, courteous and prepared. He's got great vision for how to best capture an event. I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone who wants a personalized, artistic capture of their important day. Thank you Herbert for capturing our wedding so beautifully so that we can remember it for decades to come. read more

Highly recommend hiring Herbert as your videographer for your wedding. He was very professional and easy to work with. He is responsive to questions and attentive to your needs. He worked with me to come up with a package that fit my budget and was able to deliver what he promised. During the wedding he was very pleasant and helpful. He explained what he was doing and gave good direction. He worked well with the wedding photographers to capture all the shots he needed. When we finally got the video from Herbert, he made sure that it was how we wanted and made the edits we asked for and integrated it seamlessly into the video. The final video cut was perfect. read more

Herbert is so thoughtful, responsive, and accommodating. I am floored by his creativity, artistry, and storytelling. All his videos have heart and soul, which is exactly what was I was looking for. Herbert and his team did an amazing job capturing our wedding day. I trust him wholeheartedly to carry out the vision and narrative that speaks to him. I am so glad I found A Colored Mind and blown away by our wedding videos and photos! I know we will always cherish it now and in the years to come. read more

Herbert and his team were attentive through planning stages, and through the day he not only orchestrated video but he also partnered with the photographer and the musician to ensure everything went smoothly and we were able to get the best captures, the best poses and the best angles! The final video quality is amazing and we could not have asked for a better videographer to make our wedding day memories last a lifetime! read more

And the Oscar goes to.... Not to brag, but watching our wedding videos felt like watching the full trailer of a highly-anticipated, Oscar-winning drama. Herbert and his team did such an amazing job putting together all of our big day's biggest moments and the energy, aesthetic and love was present from start to finish. He was very quick to make little changes we asked for and he used all of the songs we requested in the extended version. In addition, Herbert got all the shots we wanted to have on film to watch in the future (raw footage that wasn't used in the highlight videos) and that was a tall order considering we had over 200 guests and had a lot of different scenery to work with at our venue. Southern California weddings are not cheap, and quality vendors cost a pretty penny. A Colored Mind Films had the most competitive pricing and provided more perks to their packages than other vendors. Highly recommend them if you want you to blow everyone's minds on Instagram...and have something to re-watch and cry tears of joy to with your partner whenever you're feeling nostalgic. read more

Can't say enough positive things about my experience with Herbert from A Colored Mind. Picking the "right" photographer/videographer is definitely a personal decision and for us it came down to his creativity, professionalism, and understanding of our different cultures. We're kinda awkward and rarely take photos and videos of ourselves to share to others, let alone hire someone to do it. But he made the day so easy. He didn't get flustered or overwhelmed -- just a nice a balance which didn't ruin our ability to experience our day. I have dabbed in prosumer photography and videographer myself as a hobby, and let me tell you, he pays attentions to quality of the shot in terms of color/lighting/perspective. It's just beautiful. Very easy to work with in terms of edits. The shots are unreal. I encourage you to check out his web site and social media. Let his work speak for itself. Thank you Herbert for creating such an EPIC piece of our wedding day! read more

It was a pleasure working with Herbert and his team at A Colored Mind. He came to our wedding at Calamigos with his assistant and it was a great experience! We didn't really have a strong idea of what we wanted from our wedding video and he used his own creativity to really give us a video that we loved! I think the best part of Herbert too was that he worked really well with us, but also worked in the background of our wedding! It was such a busy day and working with Herbert was so easy! He worked so well with our photographer and it was a really seamless experience for us! We had our main day of photographer have to cancel on us due to getting Covid the day of so it was great to have a vendor that worked so well with our other vendors on our busy, but beautiful day. We also really loved the video. With very little input, he was able to deliver a video that we absolutely love! read more

We came across A Colored Mind when we were in the process of interviewing several other videographers. Herbert's expert videography technique, tasteful cinematic style, and responsiveness really impressed us and we decided to book him right away. We had no doubt he will deliver exactly what we love and he absolutely went above and beyond. First and foremost, the super premium quality of his work. Upon watching the initial version of our highlight, we felt he must've read our mind the whole time and made the perfect movie for us. The video was so artistic and thoughtfully created, it definitely brought our big day to the next level! Getting all the raw footage was another great decision we made. Since Herbert had multiple shooting angles setting up, we got to see the celebration in a complete view and it was super fun watching it! Second, professionalism. Herbert lives about 100 miles away from our venue in Malibu and the traffic could be a nightmare. However, on the day-of, he arrived nearly an hour before the shooting start time and used the extra hour to get the stunning drone footages of Hwy1 and our venue details to be used for wedding highlight. Lastly, communication with Herbert was very efficient from start to end. Even after the wedding and after the delivery of all the work, he was still actively responding to all our requests. We strongly recommend Herbert to every couple who love cinematic&artistic videos for the most important day in their life!! read more

We reached out to A Colored Mind via The Knot for an initial price quote. After contacting them and doing some more research we decided to go with a different company for our videography that we had spoken to prior to ever contacting A Colored Mind, so we sent Herbert a polite message to let him know that and to thank him for his time. He sent back this exact message to us "We haven't talked about any thing yet, and you moved to a different company? are you even real or a fake lead crap? DAMN, " We were truly shocked that someone would ever speak to a potential client this way no matter whether they booked with them or not. I can't speak to the quality of their work, but the way this company treats their clients based on my experience is unbelievably poor and unacceptable. read more

We cannot recommend Herbert and his team enough! It was such a pleasure to work with them on our wedding day and he captured every moment so beautifully! He had competitive pricing as well that fit our budget and there was no stress for us on our wedding day, since he and his team were there and ready to go!

We were fortunate enough to see Herbert's work at our friends wedding and were blown away and decided to request his service. Both the experience through the wedding day and the final video went above our expectations! On the wedding day, Herbert was very actively involved in working with us to get the best and multiple shots. He even went above and beyond to stay after the scheduled hours and capture additional shots for the bouquet toss. The final edited movie blended the whole day fantastically and exceeded our expectations. He was able to pick the best highlighted and worked with us so patiently to re-edit to include the most memorable moments for us. We are very glad we made the right choice to go with Herbert and will definitely recommend to any friends in the future. read more

Herbert was very accommodating and open to our suggestions from the very beginning. He was easy to work with and was on time, ready to go, on the day of the wedding. Also really enjoyed working with his photographer, Angelina on our wedding day. Our overall experience was pleasant, efficient, and easy! Highly recommend for video/photos for your special day! read more

Our experience with Herbert (our videographer) and Angelina (our photographer) was quite pleasant. On our wedding day, they both arrived early and started photographing as well as video recording. They sure have their pace and design for their work. As I have noticed, multiple instruments including a drone, several stationed cameras and lighting devices were brought to the venue, so Herbert could film our ceremony from diverse angles. Though our plan was tight on schedule, they managed to take some out-of-venue amazing photos and footage for us. They worked till late night as the wedding had ended, and we appreciate their dedication. We are looking forward to receiving our video highlight and final photos! read more

Herbert is great. I loved working with him. Our photographer recommended him to do our wedding video and we were not disappointed! Our video highlight is beautiful and such great quality. The way he put it together truly highlights the best moments of the entire day in a short video. There were some misunderstandings on the length of the video and he was nice enough to work something out with us and was able to provide us with a full ceremony and speeches video. I had also lost my files and I was so devastated but I reached out to Herbert and asked if he still had the videos and he gladly sent them to me without any hesitation. Would definitely recommend him, he's great. read more

My husband and I booked A Colored Mind videography for our wedding last year. Great experience with his colleagues, as he was busy with another wedding that weekend. They were great and his video editing skills are top notch. The 6 and a half minute highlight video came out so great. We loved it so much we also bought the raw footage as well! Would recommend read more

Brides - look no further! Herbert is hands down who you want to create your wedding video. I originally found him through IG - he had done another wedding at our venue. But his work was so impressive and his pricing is incredibly competitive, so I felt confident moving forward with him. He was prompt in his communication and day of, he had a vision and executed it perfectly. Everything was delivered timely - we got a teaser and a highlight - and I've lost count of the times we've watched both. Thank you, thank you, thank you Herbert!!! read more

This review is long overdue. My husband and I got married in October and we are SO happy with Herbert's work! From day 1, Herbert was very quick to respond and patient with our many questions and concerns. We didn't have a wedding planner so we handled every detail on our own and we were happy that Herbert was incredibly professional and on the affordable side compared to others in the area. Most importantly, we were so impressed with the quality of his work. We probably watched every single one of his videos available online before booking. We loved that he had a very stylistic and creative eye and the coverage he can capture is amazing considering he works alone. On the day of our wedding, Herbert was early and ready to travel between our several locations without an issue. He got along with our photographers, and was great at directing us and our bridal party. He has several cameras, a drone, lav microphones and lights to capture the day perfectly. He was not afraid to get into the middle of the action all day and night to get the best footage. If there are special moments in your ceremony or reception that you want to make sure he captures, just plan ahead and discuss those with him because on the day of it's impossible to remember everything and he will just GO. His instincts are great, but it helps to be clear with him before the event about any moments you need him to be in position for. We received both our long and short videos in a very timely manner, even faster than i expected and we were blown away. It was amazing to relive that day and he captured it so beautifully. I 100% recommend Herbert for wedding videography. If you're thinking of reaching out just know that he isn't as flowery and cheery as you might be used to when dealing with other wedding industry professionals, but he gets the job done, he's completely friendly and professional, and he's not afraid to tell you to adjust if he thinks he can get a better shot. Which we totally appreciated because we had no idea what we were doing! Herbert was great! read more

Planning a wedding during COVId, it was difficult finding vendors being willing to work with us during a difficult time. From the very Beginning, Herbert was extremely responsive and saved us from originally hiring a videographer that ghosted us. Our wedding video came out beautiful. A color mind video highlighted all the important and heartfelt moments throughout our special day. It captured the magic we felt in our wedding. The edits and transitions were effortlessly done. Our videographers for the day were extremely sweet and supportive throughout the wedding day. Look no further, you have found your videographer. read more

Herbert did an amazing job as our wedding videographer! We were on the fence about getting a videographer for our wedding; however, we decided at the last minute to hire one. We are very glad we chose Herbert! Herbert's pricing was very reasonable, he was very communicative throughout the whole process and was very easy to work with at the wedding. His style of cinematography made our wedding summary video look like a mini movie and really brought back the memories of the day. The videos he captured for our wedding will be cherished memories for the rest of our lives! Highly recommended. read more

I am so glad I chose Color Mind Video Production to be a part of our wedding day. Herbert is a 1-man show so it took a while for us to get our video, but it was worth the wait. He is very affordable, but the value is still top notch. He is very responsive to emails and always kind. read more

I cannot express my gratitude for Herbert and his team. It was a pleasure working with him. We incorporated drone footage into our wedding video and it turned out excellent. The quality of video is like something out of a Hollywood movie. Look no further, you have found your wedding videographer. read more

I contacted Herbert since I saw his work and the video at my friend's wedding few years ago and I loved it. This time, I contact him for my wedding, and unfortunately it was such last minute request he couldn't come himself but sent two wonderful videographers from his team and they were very sweet and supportive. After getting my initial video, I asked Herbert if he could make it more family oriented and he was willing to put more time and effort to make it happen... which I obviously thought very kind and professional. Thank you so much! read more

I 1000 percent recommend them for immaculate and outstanding work! read more

It is my fortune to have Herbert as my wedding photographer. This gentleman is responsible, skillful, and friendly overall. Herbert and his assistant arrived one hour earlier than any of us to take pictures and videos of the wedding site. During the wedding, he kept shooting videos without taking a break. after the wedding ceremony, every guest left the wedding but him. he suggested my wife and I for more night time videos. Herbert had been working over 12 hours during that day. Not long after the wedding, Herbert sent us the demo of our wedding video and asked our suggestions. We gave a few of our thoughts, and he sent back the final video and It was a immaculate wedding video. Every detail of the wedding, the background music, and the whole color are perfect. I would like to recommend this photographer to anyone who needs one. It was a great experience with Herbert on my wedding day. read more

Excellent work at reasonable price. I made it right in choosing a videographer for my sister's wedding. It was very easy to deal with Herbert. He was a pro in his field. We haven't really talked or planned with him about how it should go, but he just executed his work smoothly on the day because he just knows what he is doing. He also came on time in the hotel for the preps which for me is a sign of professionalism. The outcome of the five minute video was very well done, he captured the best parts of the event and encapsulated it together so nicely and neatly. For those looking for videographer for their wedding, do not entrust the capturing of the memories of your most important day to just whoever offers cheap price. Go for the quality and hire a professional like Herbert of A Colored Mind Studio. You'll be watching those video footage for the rest of your lives. All in all, we had a great experience with Herbert as our videographer for my sister's wedding. read more

Herbert covered my daughter's 1st party. Very professional and genuine from day one. We are very happy and please with the final video. Beautifully covered all moments of the day. Loved the transitions and the colors. Highly recommended!!!! read more

Great video highlight reel. Listened to our requests. Keep in mind if you want the raw footage you have to specifically ask, and it's extra.

Herbert was extremely professional, organized and created the most beautiful wedding film! My husband and I are so glad we contracted him as our videographer! He is technically skilled, creative and worked seamlessly with our photographers. I can not stress how important it is to hire a team you can trust to capture such an important day as Wedding Day. As soon as Herbert arrived he had a vision, he began directing and filming ...we knew we were in great hands! The magic of videography is priceless. Thanks to Herbert's work, I have been able to relive what was arguably the happiest day of my life through a beautiful and cinematic lens. Thank you A Colored Mind Studio! read more

I Used a colored mind studio for my wedding. Herbert works with you and listens to what you want. I highly reccomend them for your special day! I got a teaser video and 10 minute highlight video. He also gave me the raw footage. Very happy. read more

They are so quick to respond any questions, affordable but very high quality. I booked them in 2019, when COVID-19 wasn't a thing. Since COVID-19, we had to postpone our wedding twice but they were so flexible and understanding about the situation. On the wedding day, I saw the videographer and immediately impressed with their professionalism! Sure enough, the footages and highlight videos we received were amazing and my husband and I couldn't stop watching :) book them, you won't be disappointed!! read more

A Colored Mind's services are very reasonably priced for the Southern California region. Herbert is super talented at what he does. The finished product was so beautiful - he captures cinematography and emotions so well! I also appreciated that he was punctual on the wedding day and even stayed a little bit beyond our contracted hours to capture as much footage as he could to make our video great. He is also very quick to respond to emails. We experienced no hiccups with him on the wedding day. We love our video. Thank you Herbert! read more

Herbert's work ethic is unmatched. He came out to the desert in 90 degree heat and still managed to make every effort to capture our special moments. The most important thing for me was finding someone who knew how to film people of color! A Colored Mind's content was filled with diversity and clearly encompassed the understanding of how to capture people of all skin tones, which was so important for me. After watching many of his videos I had no doubt he would deliver incredible work product. Of course I cried when I watched our wedding teaser and it brought back all of the memories from that night. Herbert is fun and easy going and instructs you on exactly what to do, so you will not be disappointed! We cannot thank him enough! read more

Having gotten married and gone through the experience of hiring many vendors to assist us, we now realize that THE VIDEOGRAPHER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT VENDOR OF YOUR DAY!! Our DJ was great, our planner was great, our musicians were great, our caterer was great, but no vendor's work had the impact - the EMOTIONAL IMPACT - on us as much as the work done by our WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL videographer: A COLORED MIND VIDEO PRODUCTION and it's man-in-charge, the very kind, professional and ARTISTICALLY TALENTED: Herbert Zhu. He worked with us throughout the entire planning of our wedding. We had to cancel once because of Covid. When we rescheduled, Herbert had already been booked for another wedding; BUT! HE WENT OUT OF HIS WAY to find us from among his videography and photography team of collaborators, the PERFECT VIDEOGRAPHER and the PERFECT PHOTOGRAPHER for our wedding AND! he promised to DO THE EDITING HIMSELF! This kind of courtesy and "going above and beyond" for a client is unusual in the wedding industry. Herbert and his crew CAN BE TRUSTED. EVERYONE WAS ON TIME! EVERYONE WORKED ALL NIGHT! NO ONE TOOK ANY BREAKS!!! PLUS! We felt their fees were very good, very reasonable! This is an exceptional company who believes in meeting their client's needs. MOST IMPORTANTLY KNOW THIS - When we saw our wedding video for the first time - we cried like little children - it brought us SO MUCH JOY! Herbert has an artistic flare to his videos - they are not "average" - they are BEAUTIFUL, ARTFUL AND DONE TO BEAUTIFUL MUSIC WITH SPOKEN PARTS INTERWEAVED TO CREATE A MEMORY FOR A LIFETIME. As I said at the beginning of this review - a videographer is the most important vendor of the day. I believe A COLORED MIND VIDEO PRODUCTION is the finest in our area and it is my pleasure to give my highest recommendation to you for this highly professional company. Thank you so much to A COLORED MIND VIDEO PRODUCTION and especially thank you to MR. WONDERFUL - HERBERT ZHU!! :) read more
