I initially booked him as my photographer but ended up adding on Dj services and videography. The price he quoted me was unbelievably affordable compared to many others which was the ultimate reason why I decided to book him. Planning was great but some things fell short... He told me he was going to be at my event but never showed up. Not even once. He told me he would include disco lights with the DJ services but none were provided. The workers that did attend our wedding were great: our DJ, photographer and videographer. With our photos, he told me he would make us a digital photo book and yes you guessed it, did not get it. I got all our photos digitally, our video was beautiful and DJ was great. I would definitely give them 5 stars if all things that were said were done. Like any other, if you're told you'd be receiving certain things it'd be nice to follow through. Other than that, services that were provided did suffice and do the job.

I can't begin to tell you how happy my wife and I were when we saw the finished product of our…read morewedding video. Ed and his crew were barely noticeable, yet caught some of the most endearing moments of the day. We would highly recommend them to anyone needing a videographer/artist to record important moments of your life. They only happen once and you really have to trust the videographer to get it right. There are no "take two" opportunities for those special days/moments. Lar

Loooooong overdue review, sorry Jamey!! Hubby and I were looking for all vendors for our dream…read morewedding...except on a very tight budget! I don't recall which wedding expo we stumbled upon Jamey's services but we are very thankful to have had him do our engagement photoshoot, and day of photography and videography! Engagement photos turned out amazing! My family members had asked for a couple of our favorite shots and on the day of our wedding, they surprised us with a metal print picture from our shoot!! Shortly after our wedding we received our photos and video. We had the opportunity to pick 50? photos to be professionally edited which we forgot to take advantage of.. We were also given an Instagram (shorter) version to share on our social platforms. All in all, we recommend Jamey for wedding/engagement photo/videos. **One major thing I did for my wedding was to have 2 services in 1 vendor to minimize the stress. Less vendors to keep track of is what I mean.

Having recently gotten married but with no engagement photos, I searched high and low for a…read morereputable photographer on Instagram. Eventually I ended up on Vivid Fotos Instagram page (@vivid_fotos) and fell in love with their work. Their pictures were absolutely amazing and the owners seemed like genuine people. I messaged them and the owner Melissa responded right away and answered my questions. We agreed on two locations and a date. Little did I know the covid lockdown was right around the corner. We ended up having to reschedule. Melissa was open to rebooking when the state and we were ready. Over a year and a half later or so, I finally emailed her again and told her we were ready so we set a new date. The day of the shoot, another company I had booked for hair and makeup failed to show and instead sent a free lancer in their place. Because of such, we were 20/30 min late in meeting Melissa but she didn't miss a beat and got started right away when we arrived. We felt awkward in many of the shots so I honestly wasn't expecting to love the photos. However 2 weeks later (although she had quoted 3-4 I believe) she emailed me the photos and I was in shock. They were so perfect!!!! I can't stop looking at them every single day. I would definitely recommend booking with vivid Fotos. Besides knowing what they are doing , I also love how the owner takes ownership (lol) of the entire process and is the one communicating and working with you throughout. Melissa is very easy to talk to and work with ! Thank you Melissa!!!

We can't say enough good things about Jonah, Marlene, and Brad at Small Hour Films. From the very…read morebeginning, they were an absolute dream to work with--friendly, responsive, and so incredibly easygoing. On a day that could have been chaotic, they brought a calm, professional presence that helped everything feel effortless. Not only were they super nice and fun to be around, they also went above and beyond in every way. They arrived well before their contracted time and stayed late to make sure they captured every last important moment--big and small. It was clear that they truly cared about getting it all just right. One thing that really stood out was how clearly they understood their creative vision. They were fantastic at subtly directing us and maneuvering around to get the best shots without ever making things feel staged or unnatural. Their eye for composition and storytelling was so apparent in the way they worked throughout the day. While we haven't received the final footage yet, based on their stellar portfolio and what we experienced firsthand, we're already confident it's going to be absolutely amazing. We are beyond happy we chose Small Hour Films--they were one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. If you're considering them, don't hesitate. You'll be in excellent hands.

Nothing felt forced or awkward - just calm, natural, and genuinely enjoyable. Your guidance and direction were spot on, and you had such an intuitive way of working with everyone, which really shows in the final images. We've gone through all the photos now and are absolutely blown away. Not just by how beautiful they are, but by how true they feel. You captured our family exactly as we are - relaxed, connected, and present in the moment. Your energy and presence made a huge difference on the day and didn't go unnoticed -we were all talking about you afterwards and commenting on how lovely you were to be around. Thank you for such a memorable experience and for images we'll treasure forever. We couldn't recommend you more highly.

My then fiancé and I decided to pull together a quick ceremony, with the idea unfolding on May 9,…read more2019. We decided on May 24, 2019, two weeks away, for our ceremony. With the help of our amazing wedding coordinator, Karisa, we booked ARIA Studios on May 16, 2019. We were overjoyed that we got a professional photographer on such short notice and it was especially important to get these memories captured. Our wedding day came and I arrived at our venue. As soon as I stepped out of the car, Jess from ARIA Studios was there, snapping moments that I will remember for a lifetime. She was so kind and patient with my (now) husband and I (we are really not models). We loosened up with her gentle guidance and she even helped me convince my husband to get in the water for some photos. My mother's health declined quickly and so I asked for the photos of her from that day expedited, knowing full well that it might be an additional fee. I received the photos quickly and Mom was able to see them and enjoy them. Now our family will remember this day, my happiest day of my life, which I was able to share with my beautiful Mom. We have received all of our photos and Hubby and I could not be more happy with them. It's taking a lot of restraint not to be totally weird about it and print lifesize photos and put them all over the house. In any case, Hubby and I are doing a part 2 and have already booked ARIA Studios for that day (and asked for Jess specifically!). We can't wait because we know what a great job they do.

Thank you so much ARIA Studios!! We were referred to Aria by many, including my husband's cousin who works with Aria Studios. Their work is absolutely awesome and their team is awesome. Kolby, Kash, Holly & Jessica all flew to Maui the day of our wedding. The were very professional and very easy to work it. Jessica was the main contact and she responded to emails efficiently. About 4 days after our wedding, Holly was able to email us a couple of preview photos while they worked on editing the rest. We chose the Fusion package (Cinema 8 Hour Package, Same Day Edit and Photo 8 Hour Package). I am so amazed by the quality of their work and am amazed by how fast they can edit the videos to show in the Same Day Edit. And I absolutely love our Same Day Edit (https://vimeo.com/263970983), I watch it at least three times a week. It let's me relive this special day :) I would highly recommend using Aria Studios!!

Photography and videography were one of the most important parts of our day, and we were able to relax and enjoy the moment feeling confident that their team would do an amazing job! From the very beginning, Leanne was so kind and responsive, patiently answering all of our questions in a friendly and timely manner. We loved Jason Deng's work, and she was able to secure him for our date as well as set up a quick initial video call with him. On the day of, Jason and his second photographer Kristin were prompt, professional, and so easy to work with. Jason does a great job of giving everyone clear directions in front of the camera, and makes the process enjoyable and easy. He even asked if I had a preferred side of my face (I do) and positioned the shots to accommodate that. This attention to detail was something that we really appreciated. The photos themselves turned out incredible and we're beyond happy with the result. It's exactly what we were envisioning - natural and warm, yet intentional, shots that capture the story of our day. Although the turnaround time is quoted as 6 weeks in the contract, they finished ours in nearly 3, which is insanely fast. We even had a request for the editing style which Leanne relayed to the team and it was well reflected in the photos we received. Even though our Kahala package only included 48 4x6 prints, Visionari sent us more than double that - they printed around 100 "highlight" photos. For the video side of things, Sam was equally as professional, friendly, and seamless as the photographers. We opted for the ceremony only package, and the 20 minute-long video is the perfect record of our ceremony. The shots and audio are crisp and clear, and the editing is clean. The final video was high-quality and well put-together without being overdone. We prefer a simpler, straightforward feel for video, so this perfectly aligned with what we were looking for. Overall, Visionari captured our day beautifully. We're so happy we chose them and would gladly recommend their amazing service to any couple!
