Anthony and his brother were AMAZING! Always plenty of communication, did a great job at our wedding and the photo booth was so fun. He has done 2 other friends weddings and honestly amazing and kind and really great at what they do. I highly recommend color monitor studios! I can't wait to see our digital prints from the photo booth! Would hire them again for our next event! Thank you guys!!! read more

Anthony and his team are amazing. We used his services for Dj'ing and the photo booth. He played the perfect music. Arrived early to set up and was easy to communicate with through out the whole process. Several of our guest complimented him! We will definitely use him again! Thank you so much Anthony for making our event priceless! read more

Great quality pictures and photographers! I still remember when they used to be in Vallejo, which was over 10 years ago. read more

This is long overdue, but I had to upload all of the lovely photos color motion sent me to iCloud so I could post my favorites here so all you lovely people could see them!! I will start with the photo booth TOP NOTCH!! Anthony made sure that everyone got copies of pictures and arrived with many fun props in tow. Nobody felt like they were rushed and the photo booth being open was great, lighting was perfect and everyone had a nice time. They also sent me digital copies full size and of our strips within about a week of the wedding. I thought that was amazing, and all of them look awesome! Dj services! These guys have a one stop shop, so for our reception they had up lighting, photo booth and dj all at an affordable cost including emcee services. He kept everything running on time! This is another area where these guys wowed our guests. For music, you want it, he's got it. They even played some metal (for me and my brothers in law) and we very much appreciated that. The next time I have a party these guys are my first call! read more

See all

Simply the best, for real. 20 year vow renewal came up and used Anthony & his crew for music, photo booth, lighting, and special FX - everything turned out great; perfect! Our guests were impressed and we received multiple compliments on Color Motion's overall production. An easy rating. read more

Anthony and Royce made our wedding day absolutely magical! They made the ceremony and reception transition so smoothly. They really work with you to make sure everything is exactly how you want your day to go. My grand entrances songs were super precise with how I wanted them and they made sure to accommodate every request! Definitely would hire them again and I highly recommend them for a wedding or any event! read more

Highly recommend Anthony and his team at Color Motion Studios! As planners, I have to admit we can be a bit difficult to impress, but there was no doubt in our minds that we were in for an amazing event with Anthony and his team. From the first inquiry they were responsive and had fair pricing, proactive in working with our couple to select their songs, communicative on items they still needed from the couple, and on the day they were on time and a pleasure to be around. A recent couple of ours mentioned "Most of our guests won't dance, don't take it personal", but Anthony got their dancefloor moving all night! We are delighted to have found them and can't wait to work together again! read more

Anthony is a life saver! Very professional, flexible, resourceful and just down to earth to talk and work with. Anthony is your one-stop shop for all your audio/video/visual needs! He did everything from help planning, organizing and executing the whole thing perfectly on the day for both our ceremony and wedding reception. All our guests couldn't keep their feet off the dance floor by the end of the night. Thanks so much Anthony for all that you did for us! We truly appreciate it and had the time of our lives at our wedding! read more

Morales cousin pictures [= There was about 18 of us so you can imagine the challenge of getting everything set up as far as getting all 18 of us in a picture at once & also dealing with about 8 different sibling pictures who wanted different backgrounds. You have a headache thinking of it too, huh? I am so sad that I forgot our photographers name because he was AWESOME! He was very patient & very detail-oriented. He took the time to make sure that our hair looked right when he took his test shots. He made sure that everyone was angled right even if it did take a while our pictures turned out great! & can you believe it that on a Sunday they had an opening for us? Yup! We didn't have an appointment & they squeezed us in [= If I lived in Vallejo I would totally take ALL my pictures there, hands down. Now I know why my cousins insisted that we go there. They are AWESOME! read more

Color Motion Studios - DJs Near Me

We hired Color Motion Studios for DJ/MC/lighting and photobooth for our wedding reception last week. Anthony was highly recommended to us by our coordinator, and he and his team delivered. If you are looking for a DJ/MC/photobooth package for your wedding, do yourself a favor and hire them! We had a blast! Throughout the planning process, Anthony was very responsive and flexible even with our last minute changes and requests. The day of, he and James (MC) did an amazing job with the music, program and with the surprise numbers and changes that my family threw at them. My husband and I are super picky about music, and we were so impressed with the music Anthony played. (We wanted ambient EDM at dinner to reflect our music preferences, and party HipHop/club style music for dancing). He worked with a short list of genres, artists and delivered exactly what we wanted. Our guests danced all night, there was never really a time when the dance floor was empty. They did a great job of observing what people were into, amping up the crowd, and bringing people out of their seats. I've been to a lot of weddings where the DJ/MC was just ok, so I was super nervous, but Anthony and James exceeded our expectations! Even our family was super impressed (and they can be a tough crowd LOL). On the photobooth side, the photos came out great and everyone had a great time with props. It's so much easier to go through one vendor, and the fact that Color Motion offers DJ/lighting and photo all together made planning and coordinating so much easier. Hire them!! They did an amazing job on our wedding and our friends and family didn't want the party to stop :) read more

Absolutely the best experience! Anthony and his team made our wedding day a night to never forget. Especially with day of events changing due to weather and scheduling on our end, he made sure to make the day seamless. Between the music, photo booth and everything in-between Anthony knocked it out of the park! He was great with communication before, during and after. With making sure a plan was set for how we pictured our day and the actual day itself, he went above and beyond. Highly recommend!!!! read more

Excellent Service, Professional & Friendly workers and their work speaks for itself. They do everything from invitations, programs, weddings, cotillions, baptism, whatever occassion....Color Motion does it all. The prices are very reasonable and is located near Target (perfect to kill time while waiting for your pics). I think if I lived in a different area, I'd still come here, this place is worth the trip. I've been coming to Color Motion and had my son's pictures taken here ever since he was born. I remember Stacy taking his pictures in his early mths. Great photographer, she made the session go smooth and made it comfortable for me and my son. She took some great shots and then it was too hard to figure out the ones I liked. Oh man, i guess I'll take em all!! Another awesome photographer is Todd, he recently took my son's 11mth old pix and they all turned out great, even he's crying ones..hehe. He seems to really enjoy his work and a easy going artist. He knows he's shhhh ut yo mouth. I know I'll definitely will be back to spend mo' money, but it's all worth it....pictures are priceless!! read more

Absoultly do NOT USE THIS business. I was given a gift card for this place $50 to be exact. When I went to redeem, I found out that they closed there studio location and only do "ON Location Shoots" not studio portraits. Woomp Woomp...So i still have the gift card and wanted pictures of my baby taken. I tried contacting them via phone=no luck, email=no luck, FB=bingo. I addressed the situation and asked what could be done. these were the options/responses via FB PM 1)Hi Elaina, we can give you print credit for any past sessions you may have taken. I responded i had never had a session so...then... 2)I'm sorry we don't offer portrait sessions anymore. The only other way to use it would be for school or sports pictures. If we service your school or kids sports team you could use it for that. I responded that the school uses life touch for there pictures and asked for a refund..Or option 2 for them to directly Pay the gift card price $50 to the studio i found(I'm not trying to just get $$ i want pictures)...didnt respond..until...I told FB on them and i got this....LOVELY customer friendly response: 3We can offer you an in-home portrait session. We charge $150 for the 20-30 minute session so you would just have to pay an additional $100. This is just our session fee, we then upload all your images online and you then purchase your prints from there. You will have about 10-30 images to choose from. Yeah so there resolution to redeem $50 was to sign up a school or sports team to hire them or i come out of pocket $100 with no actual prints...UMMM noooo they are not looking to make extra $$$ off a service they never provided....right...Again applause to you Color Motion Studios...for taking money from a baby that was in the hospital most of her life....Well YELP there you have it. read more

Color Motion Studios was highly recommended to me by a good friend and I'm glad she did! From the start Mary Jane and Anthony gave me awesome ideas on how to make the wedding flow much smoother and those ideas were put into good use. I hired them for DJ/MC/lighting and photo booth service for my wedding for 10/26/19. They did them all for a great price! The day before my wedding I was getting text messages from PG&E and a phone call from my venue that PG&E may shut the power in the area. Though my venue has generators for the lighting and food, they said my DJ would need to bring his own. I texted Anthony right away and he was quick to respond saying not to worry and he will find a generator. Which he did! The night went on smoothly! Lighting looked amazing! James did a great job MC'ing. And Anthony delivered the music all night, we never left the dance floor! Thank you guys for being a part of our wedding! read more

I think his name was Todd. One of the photographers there that really knows what he is doing. The pictures always came out great, and it looks like he really enjoys shooting. Great service here! read more

My family and I have been taking our family pictures at Color Motion since this business started. Our pictures always come out AWESOME, which makes it difficult to choose which pictures to purchase. My family took Xmas pictures a few years back. There were eight grandchildren that ranged from the ages of 12 - 2 years old. Mary Jane and Anthony were very patient with the children, took their time positioning the kids and pulled out their bag of tricks to get the little ones attention. The pictures came out AWESOME! Just recently my daughter and I took pictures in our Tahitian costumes. Mary Jane was our photographer. She made sure our hair wasn't in our face, the costumes were laying right and not bunched up, our arms and/or legs were angled right, etc.I like how she pays attention to detail. Again, AWESOME pictures! The workers at the front desk are very friendly and helpful. Good customer service and great atmosphere. This is the only studio I would take my family to and recommend. Great pictures and good prices. Well worth it! read more

Hands down the BEST photography studio in Vallejo! Anthony and Mary Jane have spent years in this industry and their work simply flourishes! I love their studio is is clean, modern and filled with great portraits. If you have no idea what you want.....just show up dressed and ready to be photographed, and watch what they will do for you! They also rock the heck out of weddings, and have several WPPI Awards of Excellence to prove it! They truly bring out the best in their clients and their customer care is right on! It was nice coming to their studio this week. Oh and their front staff persons, ROCK!!! read more

My family came here to take our Christmas pictures and we had a lovely experience. The studio is large, they have a great variety of props, and the staff are very patient and detail-oriented. Really dedicated to making sure everything looks perfect. And props to my photographer (young man) who took great effort to make my little four month old smile for every picture. Pictures turned out great. It was very difficult to pick what pictures to put in our package because they all turned out beautiful. read more

They were freakin fantastic. They made my very unhappy kid happy!!! sinior pic's are streesfull but they made it easy. Thank You. Kimmy read more

I have been going to color motion studios since 2002 when me and my husband were dating. They took our dating pictures, wedding pictures, pregnancy pictures, and family pictures. The staff is GREAT AND FUN TO work with, I recommend everyone one I know and come across. It feels good to know when your walking around town and perfect strangers come up to me and my husband and recognize our photos that they have in there shop and in there window and say how lovely i look or how good our family looks. It actually nice to know there is a decent and reasonably priced studio in Vallejo. They are not rude, pushy, or not good at what they do. The owners are great and family based they are experienced and past it down to there staff,just because of the name change the QUALITY didn't!!! I'm on my second child now and GUESS who's doing my pregnancy photo? That's right, COLOR MOTIONS STUDIO and I CAN'T WAIT !! read more

Took family pictures here and they came out nice. The photographer was very good with positioning us for the pictures and also suggested what backgrounds would look nice. We will be back soon! read more

Colormotion is the best in Vallejo! I hired them for my daughters Quincinera and was so impressed with their work that we hired them again for my Parent's 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary. Anthony & Maryjane are very professional and the pictures were memorable keepsake of two special events in my life. Keep up the great work and I hope to see you for my 50th Bday party in a few years. Sincerely, Roberta Gonzalez read more

I just love their photographers! So patient..as all of artists alike, they know what poses look good on you.

their in studio pricing is pretty good with a group of people... the wedding prices are insane! They won awards for their wedding photography apparently, but they are un heard in the most popular wedding websites... and the knot wedding list never even had them! read more

Took family pictures here. They were very friendly, fast, and decently priced. The only obstacle is trying to get the packaging perfect. Kinda weird how it works. I like it better when you take a ton of pictures and build your package off of that rather then pick a package then purchase it before u even take your pics. Other then that I'd probably use them again. read more

They did a great job on our special night. Pleased with the photobooth and music throughout the night!

i notice the service has gone down the last few years. Last year our yearbook wasn't delivered until 2 days before the end of the year. This year they said it will be ready on June 7th, then July 30th, then July 31st, then August 20th, then August 21st and it may finally be ready on August 22nd. And they lost information we gave them in January. The yearbook comes out good, but it could be better. I would NOT recommend this for yearbooks. read more

My family and I LOVE taking our pictures here! The pictures always come out amazing. The staff is very professional and know what they're doing! We have had our family of 6 take pictures here a few years ago and they did an awesome job getting all our little ones to smile and look at the camera! That wasn't easy but they managed to do it with 4 kids, three of them under 5yrs old....Our photographer had to call a second staff member to hop around with props and make funny noises... they'll do what they gotta do for a great shot! Their new location on 1st street in Benicia is perfect spot because there are so many shops, restaurants, cafes, etc... to visit while waiting on your pictures. And right accross the street is a beautiful view of the water! We've had our three little ones take their christening pictures here along with their invitations and thank you magnets too. They will continue to work with you until you're satisfied with the finished product! Their pricing is very reasonable, especially with the high quality of work they do. My familly and I HIGHLY recommend this place, we wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

I'm an event planner (10+ years-weddings, themed parties/events, you name it). This is one of my top go to vendors! Professional DJ/MC services and photobooth options make this one stop shop a perfect fit for many of my clients. I highly recommend them! Anthony and Mary Jane (husband and wife) are an absolute pleasure to work with and I can always count on them to deliver 100% satisfaction for my clients! read more

I'm part of an organization at my university and we requested Anthony to DJ for us. It was such a great time, the turn out at the event was great, the music was AWESOME, and the light set was incredible. They were very open to requests and the whole night we jammed to TOP 40, EDM, etc. Honestly, no complaints. We negotiated on a very, very reasonable price and they were nice enough to be accommodating especially because our organization is student-run. These guys really deliver! read more

All I can say is they're AWESOME! We hired these guys for our company party of about 500 people for their DJ and Photo Booth. I met with Anthony and we went over all the details of what we expected and they delivered 110% on the day of our party! He was very professional and we always had an open line of communications. They even showed up early on the day of and had everything ready an hour before our event was to start. They lit up the ballroom to my favorite color (purple). I was a little worried about the sound because the DJ last year (found on groupme) had a horrible sound system and we had a hard time making announcements. But let me tell you, this year it was perfect, we were able to make our announcements loud and clear and when the dancing started I felt like I was in a night club!!! Loved the mix of music, they played a little something for everyone and the dance floor packed all night!!! They're Photo Booth was also awesome with the custom prints and an actual photographer taking our pics and all the fun crazy props! We were able to take big group/department pics and their beautiful workers were so helpful! We had them working non-stop all night long and they were all still smiling at the end of the night! I definitely would recommend them for your next event, company or private!!! read more

We've come here for 8 years now. Monthly baby pics, birthdays, anniversaries, you name it. They call us by our names even. Doesn't matter who is working. They will treat you right. Love this place. read more

If I could give more than a 5stars, it would be 10 hands down GREAT service. Anthony & James were AMAZING! Pleasure to work with the magnificent 2 brothers! Love All of their music selections! Very hard worker. Lighting, Photo booth/props, sound system, everything I'm 100% satisfied and my guests in my wedding this past weekend couldn't stop dancing. What an amazing experienced to work with both of you! Thank you so much! Beth & Andy. read more

Anthony and James did our wedding and they were absolutely fantastic! DJ, photo-booth, master of ceremonies - everything was top-knotch. They even stayed late to keep playing music for our guests who didn't want to get off the dance floor. Highly recommend them! read more

I had a great experience at the studio. We were getting pictures done for my son's baptism invitation card and a family holiday portrait. The photographer was able to get my infant son to smile and look at the camera, which is no small feat. They were patient with him and got a lot great shots. The pictures turned out better than I had hoped. Will go back there again. read more

Awesome group of photographers at a reasonable price. One stop shop for great photos, invitations, banners, the list goes on. Everyone is very friendly, attentive and detailed. Their Passion for their craft shines through their work. read more

My wife took our two year old here to have some Christmas pictures taken after a horrific experience with a chain photography studio in the Sun Valley Mall. The differences between the two businesses leave me without an adequate vocabulary to describe them. Color Motion is simply light years ahead of the so-called "Picture People." The photographer was patient and attentive. The studio was spacious and private. The staff actually acted as if they wanted to serve us and sell us their products and the cost of the photographs was actually slightly less. My wife and I will be using Color Motion from now on. read more

I had used color motions back in 2009 and was very pleased, so when I needed baby shower invitations I instantly knew I would use Color Motions. I did everything over email b/c I don't live near there new store. I sent an email and called on Thursday, but by Sunday no one had called so I was a little upset. However once I talked to Dennis everything was taken care of. He had my proof's by the next day, and WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW , my baby shower invitations look AMAZING. He used the pictures I wanted and went with the baby shower theme to a T. I couldn't be more THRILLED, happy and excited! EXCELLENT work by DENNIS. I Will definitly have him do my annoucements once my son is here. Thanks Again DENNIS : ) read more

I have been going to Color Motion Studios for 6 years for all my photos and I loved how all my photos came out but over the past 2 years or so I haven't been very impressed with my photos... Prices have gone up since they moved to Benicia... I took my daughter there every month to take pictures from the time she was born until she was 1 and then every 6 months after that... I loved the photographer Jill she was great enthusiastic and worked well with kids and with my family taking photos she has now left and thee photographers now just don't seem to know how to pose or get the right shots or know how to make my kids smile... Im sad to say that since Jill has left i might be parting ways with color motion studios the price im paying and the outcome of my photos are not making me happy read more

I highly recommend Color Motion Studios. Great service, pictures and friendly people.
