After a quick phone call to go over the details, he immediately jumped into action and made the entire process stress free. Shaun captured our proposal perfectly and delivered absolutely stunning photos that exceeded every expectation. On top of that, he sent us sneak peeks the very next day, which made us even more excited to see the full gallery. Throughout the experience, Shaun was professional, patient, experienced, and attentive to what we wanted. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured every special moment beautifully. If you're looking for someone who is passionate about their work, I can't recommend Shaun enough. I would absolutely hire him again!!

Because of our…read morehectic schedules, I was worried that our calendars wouldn't align...but a las, Arvin cleared out a Saturday in April for us and our Save the Date shoot was booked!!! My fiancé and I had a few ideas for the general feel of the video, but we weren't entirely sure how to turn it into a story. We gave a few details to Arvin, and his team came up with a timeline / storyboard in no time. After a few days of email correspondence, we came up with a final script that we were happy with...all thanks to OpenGlass's creativity & attention-to-detail :) The day of the shoot came, and the 3-man crew was prompt and super efficient. They gave us a rundown on the order of the shots, outfit changes, and location changes. When we were in front of the camera, they gave clear direction and instructions on how to act; making us feel completely at ease. My fiancé and I definitely had a great time acting out and being silly. OpenGlass Studio definitely captured the essence of us; nothing overly-sweet, overly-done, nor overly-dramatized. It's just the perfect, casual & kitschy cool that summarizes us. We absolutely love the video, Arvin & crew!!! (Check it out on Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/92153637) We were actually hoping to book them for our wedding, but they were already committed to another wedding that same weekend. If you're considering a videographer / photographer team, we'd highly recommend OpenGlass Studio!!! LIKE TOTALLY! :)

They were amazing - so professional, creative and easy to work with. Arvin was very responsive and on point with conversations via email & phone. He was so easy to talk to, allowing us to communicate our vision and how he and his team would be able to make that happen. Arvin and his team did a great job capturing every aspect of our wedding. They provided enough direction, but were not intrusive at all. They worked so hard on our big day, ensuring their team was distributed at different locations to capture everything that was happening. Even our guests were impressed by the team's professionalism & effort! And I cannot say enough about the final product. The team definitely put their heart and soul into our video. They were able to capture not only my husband's and my personality and energy, but also captured the love and happiness of our special day. OpenGlass was definitely the right choice for our big day.

I found Danielle and Jared, the owners of Side by Side, online…read more Upon reaching out, I spoke with Danielle and she was super easy-going and professional. It was stress-free working with them -- they asked me to fill out a page or two about my preferences, we had a phone call a few months before our wedding to meet each other, and then got back in touch about a month before my wedding date about scheduling and logistics. The day of, Danielle and Jared reflected that same easy-going attitude. They worked with my photographer to partner up when it made sense to. They worked really well as a team (they are husband and wife, after all :) ). As a bride, my definition of an amazing vendor is when they're quiet. This might be a weird thing to say, but that's when I know that they're professional and confident, and for a videographer, able to focus on capturing as much footage as possible without getting in the way of any other vendors. We got our videos a few weeks after our wedding and they're SPECTACULAR. They gave us a couple of videos to help capture different elements of the day (highlight, ceremony, reception, and bonus footage). Nothing felt overproduced or undervalued -- they truly hit the mark on showing how our wedding was, representing every element really well. The end result looked natural and reflective of our day. We showed the videos to some family members who fell ill and couldn't attend last minute, and they thoroughly enjoyed all of the footage.

We just received our Blu-Ray video (plus DVD's and raw footage) and watched it right away. It was stunning. They did such an amazing job of capturing everything. We really didn't have a chance to appreciate all the details on the day of the wedding because it goes by in such a blur, but with this video, we were able to feel like we were right there again. The quality and clarity of the shooting was incredible. We showed our friends and family and they loved it too! I am so excited and happy that we have this beautiful reminder of our big day and we will be watching many, many more times! Thank you again, Jerry!

He somehow got amazing angles and captured so many different moments that my husband and I didn't get to see in real time, yet he did all of that while being unobtrusive and blending in.

We are very grateful to him for capturing our wedding in such a perfect way!

Evoking emotions and storytelling - this is what makes R3 Films stand out. Mike and Sophia have a…read moreremarkable combination of technical expertise and artistry that lead to unique and engaging films. From the moment an R3 clip begins, I am pulled in and my attention is fixed. For this reason, my husband and I selected Mike and Sophia to create our family business films. On a beautiful early Sunday morning, Mike and Sophia met us at the Coronado Ferry Landing to capture video footage of our family. I'm not the most comfortable person in front of a camera, but they both put me at ease. Under their guidance and direction, my self-consciousness faded, which lead to some amazing footage. Mike and Sophia already had a vision in mind, and my husband and I trusted them to work their magic. They did. And getting an unplanned shot of us on the Ferry while no one else was on it? Yep, they were able to manage that too! It was beyond fun to work with them! When our two finished clips were done, we were simply blown away! Not only did we have films that we felt truly captured the spirit of our business, but we had incredible footage of our family, including our young son and dog. After hours of filming, how could we possibly allow any of that footage to remain on the cutting room floor? We couldn't! So, Mike and Sophia created a rough cut of all the footage, set to music. It's an absolutely priceless treasure which we'll keep, and watch, and pass on in our family. So, if you have a story you need to tell in images, sound, and words, Mike and Sophia at R3 films are the best tellers and crafters you can pick. Oh! And our story?

I recently got an opportunity to see Mike's work firsthand, and I have to say, I was very impressed…read morewith the quality of the videos he created. This is movie grade stuff, the kind of videos you see that have just the right amount of lighting and music in the background that evokes the feeling you're trying to convey or didn't even know you could. And it all works incredibly well because Mike has studied how people's perceptions and attention spans shift, and he incorporates those findings into his work. And when it comes to sound and music, his talents are diverse. Mike is a trained expert, having gone to school in Sweden for audio production, plus he plays guitar, trumpet, piano, jazz, R&B, hip hop, and reggae. If you've been thinking of having a video made, whether it's for a wedding, an event, or a business, I highly recommend Mike at R3 Films. He makes the kind of quality videos that you or your friends will want to watch over and over again.

His…read morepackages are very inclusive and he included an engagement shoot, and a post-wedding shoot that we had requested. We also received a very well made wedding album and a few large prints for our home. He was very professional and accommodating. Many of our photos, through all the different sessions turned out truly epic. He really listened to what style photos my wife and I wanted from our sessions. We sent him numerous inspirational photos as examples of the shots we wanted to recreate and he had all of those photos readily available to reference them and recreate the shots we wanted. For the wedding and the post-wedding shoots, we had drone video that really made a big impact on our final wedding video. The video editing took some time, but he was more than accommodating and made all the changes and tweaks that we wanted to make our video truly amazing and memorable. Something I've continued to look at on a regular basis since the wedding and it never gets old! His turn around on the photos was truly fast, faster than the norm in my opinion, and the quality of edits was really amazing. Thank you Arash for capturing one of the most important day of our lives! Thank you for being professional and punctual and communicating so well throughout the entire process; you truly made it easy and took stress off of what can be one of the most stressful aspects of wedding planning!
