Yoko is so great to work with! Though this review took such a long time for me to get out -- it is a reflection of my gratitude and satisfaction that my husband and I have had since we chose Ichigo Video since day one. I found her on wedding wire and even though she had only 5 reviews -- all 5 were glowing and her work was exactly what I was hoping for.
Unlike some other videographers that I contacted in the hunt for the 'perfect one' -- Yoko responded almost immediately and answered all my questions right away. She was honest, easy to talk with and very flexible. If any of my requests could not be met -- she would explain why it could not be done so. And she worked extremely hard to make all my requests happen! We met twice before the wedding and had a great rapport via email during the entire planning process. She never made me feel like I was a bridezilla or overbearing. I felt like I was part of a team.
I love Yoko's style and "eye" in how she shoots. I was looking for someone who would capture all the parts and people of the wedding we would not see that day. A "photojournalist" type of view, if I had to label it. My husband and I are the worst at posing for pictures and looking normal -- so I specifically wanted someone to stand by and just "shoot" -- and that she did. She and her team captured all the fun moments, smiles and people we love the most and most especially our traditional Filipino cultural dances. That was one of the biggest things of our reception to be captured and preserved and Yoko and her team did it in such a beautiful way. I am forever grateful for it.
Yoko was just a blessing to work with and her product is that of a combination of hard work, passion and talent. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat! She is beautifully talented, fun to work with and captures everything you won't even think about are there to capture -- if that makes sense. :) Hire her now! read more
