Review for Carsten, Sean, and Jerry for video at ~300 person Persian/American Jewish wedding at…read moreLaguna Cliffs Marriott in June 2025
Carsten, Sean, and Jerry were the perfect fit for our event, and we highly recommend them. We were specifically looking for videographers to do a documentary style, multi-hour video of our wedding (in addition to the usual shorter cuts), as well as delivering all the raw footage to us. We wanted things captured exactly as they occurred so we would be able to watch back the full event and get to see everything, which it seems like a lot of people don't do anymore. We set everything up through Carsten, who also edited the documentary cut of our video, and Sean and Jerry were there on the day of our event as first and second shooters. Sean also edited the teaser and highlight videos.
Carsten is warm, personable, and a great communicator, and we immediately clicked with her. She understood what we were looking for, and prepared Sean and Jerry well to get awesome shots of us. We very much appreciated the care that Carsten showed in our calls leading up to the event, including a detailed survey to fully understand our wants, and she even set up a meeting with us and Sean, too, which allowed us to have further confidence in working with them for the event. We also very much appreciated Carsten's attention to detail and care to editing our documentary cut. We are both very detail-oriented people, and had some very specific asks of her in editing our video, and she went back and forth on a couple rounds of edits with us, appreciating our specificity.
Sean and Jerry were amazing on the day of the event! They knew exactly how to direct us during our romantic/first look session, and at the same time, fade to the background in moments where they were acting as documentarians during the ceremony and reception. They were both personable and we felt immediately comfortable with them. They also worked amazingly well with our photo crew that we hired separately, to the point that many of our family members thought that they had worked together before, even though they hadn't! We also love how they filmed our huge dance party, using handheld monopods, cameras mounted on tripods, to capture wide shots, and how they filmed using hand held cameras to make it feel like you are actually on the dance floor, and not just a spectator. The footage is absolutely fantastic and so fun.
Over a year later, we are still enjoying the videos so much, and are looking forward to doing so for a long time to come.
