Really cool studio - fully equipped with tons of crazy gear - awesome outboard, every instrument…read moreyou could ever need. So many different mics - a lot of vintage ones too. Laid down vocals and 12-string guitar for a folky track. Danny B. the engineer I worked with was incredible - really flexible and meticulous with understanding my vision and making it happen. Did a three-mic setup for the guitar - and it sounds INCREDIBLE. Highly recommend for recording anything from simple folky acoustic all the way up to full band and everywhere in between. This place is straight up legit and captured my music in a way I'm not sure other studios could have. Again highly recommend working with Danny if you can. Prices are also pretty reasonable - will def be recording more here when I get the chance.

This review is specifically for Chris Paxton. I've had a great experience working with Chris in…read moremixing/mastering one of my latest house tracks. He's a fun and professional to collaborate with, and I'm beyond happy with how my song sounds as a finished product. I've been producing on Ableton for a few years, and I was specifically looking to work with someone in studio to learn and improve my mixes in general. I spent a few hours with Chris in his Oakland studio and learned so much during that time. It was one of the most informative sessions I've had since I started making music! Chris shared numerous different techniques and workflow tips with me while making suggestions and helping refine my track. It's clear that he's an expert in Ableton, but is also generous in sharing his knowledge. After our in-person session, we collaborated for another week or so via phone/e-mail through the mastering process. Throughout this process, he was thorough, patient, and gave invaluable feedback and recommendations - all while communicating effectively. Something I really appreciate about working with Chris is that he makes suggestions and gives honest feedback, but also makes sure that he respects the original vision for what the track should sound like. He makes suggestions but never pushes or makes it feel like you're straying or altering your original track. I look forward to working with Chris again! Highly recommend Mothership Studio.

We fell in love with REB6's emotional storytelling style and we were instantly sold. We originally planned to have a wedding with 200+ guests in December 2020. Unfortunately, COVID was surging during that time, so we decided to downsize to a microwedding. We continued to work with the majority of our vendors including REB6Studios. Our experience with Sig and his team was exceptional and the final product will be cherished for a lifetime. When we changed venues and significantly reduced our guest list, Sig was very understanding and accommodating given our situation. We mainly communicated via email and he was always responsive, helpful, and professional. On the day of the wedding, Sig and Mariane were very detail oriented, adhered to the wedding timeline, gave incredible direction, and worked well with our photographer. When we received our highlights video, we were blown away. It was like watching a movie of our wedding day and it perfectly captured all the emotions and events of the day. The editing and production value were of the highest quality. We also opted to get the ceremony cut so all our friends and family who were unable to attend would be able to watch the big day. On our first anniversary, my husband and I watched our video together. It brought back all the feels as REB6Studios was able to capture the love and happiness we felt on our special day. If you want a top notch videographer who is passionate about their work and will provide you with the most creative, beautiful, and tear-jerking film, look no further than REB6Studios! You won't be disappointed!

I highly recommend REB6Studios!…read more My wife and I got married in July 2021. We booked REB6Studios for our wedding because after watching their films you can tell they have everything you'd want in a wedding video: all the emotional and fun moments captured with amazing cinematography, perfect music and tearjerking storytelling. We received our wedding video earlier than expected and it blew us away. All the shots were beautiful, carefully put together with many details weaved into the film. REB6Studios even incorporated audio from the speeches, and the bride and groom letter readings from before the ceremony. They included many heartfelt stories from our night, such as the emotional moments mentioned in those speeches and letters. The best part is they perfectly balanced the happy and emotional moments, also including the extra fun scenes like the reception dance performances, money dance, and dance floor footage! The video overall made my wife and I cry (in a good way!) because we got to relive all the amazing emotions. After sharing our video on social media, so many people have told us how it made them cry as well. Additionally, Sig and Mariane were super professional, experienced, friendly and easy to be with! My wife and I felt comfortable the whole day with them. I also noticed they're very detail-oriented and attentive, they always have their eyes on you (in a good way as well!) because they understand how important you are as the bride and groom. They worked seamlessly with our photographers, too! Thanks to REB6Studios, my wife and I will never forget how special are wedding was; we can relive all these moments, and relive all the feelings over and over. Can't wait for our family members to get married next so we can suggest REB6Studios, and I'll always be recommend them to everyone. Definitely check them out! :)

Sandy is truly one of the most skilled newborn/family photographers in the bay area! I was lucky to…read morefind Sandy 4 years ago with my first born and the newborn photos ended up being incredible! It was an easy decision to go back to her with our second baby. Here are some of the ways that Sandy truly stood out: - Both our babies were born around Christmas holiday and scheduling was not an issue at all for Sandy. She checked in ahead of the appointment to ensure we didn't need to reschedule (much needed for parents that just gave birth recently) and had our themes ready prior to us arriving. - The themes were 10/10, better than what we could've envisioned ourselves. And our themes were generic such as lemon or Christmas. - The amount of patience Sandy has is seriously amazing! Our second baby was a bit harder to photograph compared to the first, in addition to a toddler who wasn't in the mood for pictures, and it didn't phase Sandy at all. She took her time to make sure she was able to capture each theme well and had tips up her sleeve to get the toddler to take some pictures. I highly recommend going with Sandy if you're considering photo sessions! She goes above and beyond to ensure all the special moments are captured and the pictures are so incredibly worth it.

I'm truly delighted to share my experience working with Sandy! Her communication was wonderful from…read morethe very beginning, from arranging the appointment and customizing the scene setup to sending the photos. Everything went so smoothly. I am really impressed by her talent with infants and children; she was fantastic with my newborn and my 2-year-old. Her ability to craft stunning scenes is also incredible. And when it comes to her photography and editing skills, they are truly outstanding--just look at the edited photos, they're absolutely stunning! You won't be disappointed with Clairbare Studios and Sandy's gift for capturing beautiful, lasting memories of your little ones.

Over the course of my career as a wedding photographer, I've worked with countless videographers…read moreand video companies, and Jesse Garrison and his team at Love Unique Studios are among the very best in the SF Bay Area. We first worked together in 2014 on a lavish three-day Indian wedding with a lot of moving parts. We immediately clicked: we both bring a cinematic aesthetic to our work, so our preferences in lighting matched up nicely. While our working styles aren't identical, I appreciate that Jesse respects the needs of other vendors and takes a collaborative approach. He communicates clearly about how he plans to set up and what he intends to do, and he'll adjust when needed (though I do my best to respect his needs too). Weddings aren't just about the photo or video -- they're about the client experience, and Jesse understands this. He's wildly creative without pulling focus from the couple's grounded experience. We bounce ideas off each other, and I like to think we both come away with shots we might not have gotten otherwise. Another quality I value in Jesse is his calm demeanor. His approach is deliberate and precise -- he knows exactly what he wants, which makes him incredibly efficient when setting up creative shots. And his love of film and cinematography always comes through in the final product. He somehow takes an already lovely wedding and cranks up the storytelling through his editing and style. If you need a creative videographer who's a team player and delivers a cinematic experience, Love Unique Studios is a great fit.

Wow -- this review is long overdue for Jesse and his amazing team!…read moreWe had our wedding in April 2025, and I honestly can't thank Jesse enough for everything he did for us throughout this journey. After my fiancé's sweet proposal, it was time to plan -- and everyone always told me, "If there's one thing you shouldn't go cheap on, it's photography and videography." We wanted our wedding to feel like a movie, especially our Grand Entrance. I started researching and came across one of Jesse's wedding videos filmed at the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose. It was cinematic, creative, and completely unique. At that moment, I knew Jesse was the perfect person to bring our vision to life. From the very first conversation, Jesse was so easy to connect with -- professional, approachable, and honestly just a fun person to be around! He's got this cool, laid-back vibe (you'll know what I mean once you meet him). We trusted him completely -- even choosing to work with his recommended photographer. Jesse actually met us in Las Vegas to film our Grand Entrance video, and it was an absolute blast. It never felt awkward, and he made the entire experience fun and comfortable. In just a single day, he captured everything we needed. He was also super proactive, messaging us with creative ideas to make the video even better. One of his best ideas was to include our wedding party -- they loved being part of it! Here's the part that really stuck with me: About a week before the wedding, stress was getting to my fiancé and me. We'd never argued before, but we found ourselves not even talking because of all the last-minute planning pressure. Then Jesse told me the video was ready. We sat quietly together to watch it, not sure what to expect. Within the first few seconds, we were smiling and laughing -- and by the end, we were both so excited for the wedding again. That video reminded us why we were getting married and how much we love each other. I truly believe it saved us from letting stress overshadow this special time. Even now, whenever we feel overwhelmed, we watch Jesse's video to bring us back to that feeling. To sum it all up: Jesse and his photographer team were incredible from start to finish. Our final wedding video was everything we hoped for -- cinematic, emotional, and beautifully done. We've shared it with friends and family, and everyone loves it. Hiring Jesse was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. If you want a wedding video that's more than just a recording -- one that tells your love story and keeps reminding you why you chose each other -- work with Jesse. You won't regret it.
