The team we worked closely with made us feel completely comfortable and at ease during what can be such a hectic time. Nothing felt forced, and they helped us look and feel like ourselves in front of the camera. Throughout the entire process, they were professional, organized, and communicative, which gave us so much confidence leading up to the big day. We are beyond grateful for how perfectly they documented our wedding weekend and would highly recommend Amari to anyone looking for an exceptional photo and video team.

The video was the perfect summation of our two event days and captured the key moments and feeling of love so beautifully.

Highly recommend Amari for both photo and video as they make the process easy and seamless.

We are both quite awkward with posing, but the team guided us on our poses and made everything really easy for us. The quality of our pictures were exceptional and we loved getting to look back on our wedding day. We hired them last minute for videography and it was the best decision we made. They edited it so beautifully and really captured the love and happiness from that day. The video is something that we will truly cherish for the rest of our lives. We would highly recommend them!

The photos came in the exact time she quoted us but the edits look like pictures taken and edited off an iPhone. Not happy with them. I had to re-crop and edit majority of all photos as best I could as all the edits completely washed out our skin tone, the colors of the sky etc. I asked for the raws so I could just edit them myself from scratch and it's been 2 weeks and still haven't received them. Didn't remind us or inform to take phones/wallets out of pockets so those just look lovely in all our photos **sarcasm**. Book with someone else who knows what they're doing and takes their time on special memories like this. Updating my review! Got some of the raws back a day after making my review, which was nice of her to send as she said she didn't usually do so, but the quality of the photos look like they were taken on an iPhone..it was nice to see some of the photos that didn't come through as finals. Aside from how the photos came out, the one positive was that Anel was easy to communicate with and nice overall!!

Magdalena and Matt were an absolute dream team to work with. They traveled from San Diego to the…read moreBay Area to film our wedding, and we couldn't be more grateful that we chose them. From the moment they arrived, they were professional, warm, and incredibly dedicated. Magdalena, despite being far along in her pregnancy, was on her feet all day and moving with agility to capture every special moment. Their calm energy made the entire experience feel effortless. During the day, we could remain present with our friends and family without being overly conscious of the cameras. We were truly blown away by our highlight story. It captured the heart of our wedding day: the laughter, the love, the tears, and the voices of our friends and family. There were even tender private moments, like side glances and kisses, that made me realize how my husband and I express our love for one another. Her films portray such raw emotions and authenticity, which really stand out against other generic wedding videos. Magdalena is a masterful storyteller, weaving our vows and guest speeches with the right combination of imagery and sounds. Each time I watch it (and I can't stop watching it over and over!), I find new details to fangirl over, like the flick of my veil hitting the beat of the music perfectly. She really understood that, for us, the wedding day extends beyond our love for one another and to our new, blended families. My sister was not able to make our wedding due to health issues, and Magdalena managed to incorporate a snippet of our video call to include her. Additionally, she highlighted such sweet candid moments between us and our parents as we were getting ready and dancing together. These interactions, our unique mannerisms, our relationships with one another -- these are the things I'll be cherishing for years and years to come. We are so grateful to Nena Films, and highly recommend them to capture your special day! You'll get so much more than you expected!

This review is long overdue!! Magdalena was our wedding videographer for our wedding in April 2023…read more From the moment I saw samples of her work, I loved her style. I wanted a video that felt authentic, timeless, and not overly commercial if that makes sense. Magdalena achieved exactly what my partner and I were looking for! She is so talented and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding videographer. She is such a genuine, kind, and cool human. She is very communicative and goes above and beyond to understand your needs. My entire bridal party raved about her and her partner Cris! I am usually very camera shy but she seamlessly managed to capture all of the wonderful moments and emotions of our big day. I initially hesitated to get videography for our wedding due to budget constraints, but looking back, I am so glad because videos convey the day so much better than photos do. We get to relive moments that only happen once in a lifetime. Two months after our wedding, unfortunately, our sweet dog passed away and Magdalena was able to include snippets of her in our video. I'm grateful to have this video to cherish forever, it is now my favorite movie and I tear up watching it! Our friends and family stated that the video was beautiful. THANK YOU so much Magdalena for everything you do!

Recently, I worked with Charlie on a wonderful wedding at the Bali Hai restaurant in San Diego…read more Charlie came prepared, and he was very easy to work with. He had multiple multiple cameras to catch so many different angles and different vantage points of the celebration. I was very impressed when I saw the final video that he created. I definitely recommend connecting with Charlie to see if he is a good fit for your Once in a Lifetime celebration.

We had our wedding in August of 2025, and the videography Charlie and his team provided was way…read morebeyond my expectations. We were a last-minute booking for him and his team. Charlie was able to find a person to cover our wedding just a couple days before the wedding date. He has excellent examples of different styles of videography they could provide and what that pricing would look like. Charlie's website is perfectly user-friendly and was precise in their package descriptions and pricing. We personally did not want cinematic style videography that would require a lot of editing on their end. We wanted raw footage that we could keep for generations to show to our future children and grandchildren. The videographer did a phenomenal job at recording the ceremony and some of the reception in an authentic way that encapsulated the feeling of one of the greatest days of our lives. The videographer that covered our wedding, Stephen Daniels, had an exceptional understanding of Charlie's expectations on customer service. Charlie was constantly responsive before the big day and clear about when we should expect the files after the wedding. When he offered additional services in the emails, he presented it in a way that demonstrated his genuine care for weddings and events and not just an "upsell." I could see Charlie's customer service extend to Stephen. Stephen and Charlie knew we went with the most affordable package. Even so, Stephen set up a higher quality microphone and brought two cameras for backup. Charlie's website explains other services he could provide such as DJ-ing. Luckily, my husband is a DJ, but we did have quite a few live singers at our reception. Although we could not afford the microphone package for sound on the live singers, Stephen took the time out of recording to help one of the live singers with their sound quality on their devices. Our wedding was genuinely a DIY wedding ran by the power of Hashem and our community. When Stephen walked into the ceremony space, the most prominent visual part of our wedding, the Chuppah, a canopy in which many Jewish ceremonies take place was not set up. Stephen took time to help our friends and staff with the chuppah. Charlie and Stephen were not required to go beyond expectations, but they did that and then some. Although Charlie markets his work as "cheap videography," he certainly does not cheap out on the quality of their customer service and work. We were close to deciding on cutting out videography from our budget, but we are so pleased we chose to prioritize it as an essential part of our wedding day. https://youtu.be/FiME9qY3UMk?si=NK6riLqz9mXp9z3o

We recently received our wedding video; it took our breath away and brought tears to our eyes. We watched it several times and honestly feel he captured the entire day beautifully. It is gorgeous, high quality and tastefully edited making it truly a pleasure to watch. Stephen is kind, talented and wonderful to work with. If I could offer any advice for his future clients it would be this: Hire him immediately before his schedule books up (which WILL happen) AND get the highlight film included in your package.

He also edits amazing videos if you have a bigger videography budget than we do...and want the full superstar experience. After seeing samples of his work, my husband and I knew that we could trust Stephen to just "do his thing" so we gave him our schedule of events and asked him to video the components that made the most sense to him and the video looks gorgeous. Because his camera looks a little unconventional, many of our guests thought he was one of the photographers so we also have some hilarious clips. And, our photographer loved working with Stephen. Stephen knows how to get the footage he needs to make your day memorable with you and your photographer barely noticing him throughout the day. We were so grateful for both Stephen's calm confidence in the work he produces and the footage we received. My husband and I (and all of our guests who have seen the footage) absolutely love his work and highly recommend him! He is soooo worth it and he was by far and away one of our favorite vendors at our wedding.
