Spike Li and his team were amazing! During the wedding planning period, we knew that pictures and…read morevideos were super important to us. Especially since we knew we would be running around and the time would pass by really fast. So we searched all over for photographer/videographers. We saw a sample of Spike's work through a friend's friend and contacted him right away. He was really responsive and transparent. We asked for samples of his work and he delivered. We asked for meetings, he met with us. He had been great throughout. We are an interracial couple so on the wedding day, we did ceremonies from both sides on ONE day. They worked non-stop that day and we really appreciated that. We had a really packed agenda for the ceremonies and the reception. Spike and his team were really patient and kind to everyone. He was also really funny because we're not the best with poses. Because it was wedding season, we didn't get our pictures until a month after but it was okay! We loved the highlight video, the full video, and all the pictures that were taken. We would definitely recommend him to whoever is searching for a photographer/videographer.

On our wedding day, Spike showed up on time, gave great instructions, and answered to our requests/ideas . We received our photos three weeks after our wedding and we were really satisfied with the results. The photos are a good combination of fun moments, romantic portraits, and friends and family group pic. Spike didn't use the fancy words that other photographers nowadays tend to use, ie storytelling, in marketing. But his photos do just that!

I would give Oriel and his Showreels group the highest recommdation and rating in any category…read more that could be rated. From a professional standpoint, Oriel was ordered and organized, started with the initial consultation/discussion, covered all areas from scene selection, to partners, to how, where, and when the scene should be shot. His communication was continuous throughout and he was totally accessible. From a technical standpoint, I could not have been more impressed. From the moment he arrived on the set, Oriel and his team knew exactly what they wanted to do and went about their business of set up logically and efficiently. As far as directing the scene itself, I was taken aback at Oriel's attention to every detail: from lighting, to shooting angles, to sound -and he had no qualms about shooting the scene, or parts of the scene, as many times as required until he was satisfied with its quality. This is a man who clearly takes pride in his work. Finally, and most important to me, his patience, complete accessibility, and willingness to teach and explain any facet of the production process - even if not directly related to the specific scene we were shooting , was simply wonderful. I enjoyed working with him and his team tremendously, learned a tremendous amount, and look forward to working with Showreels again.

From the moment they arrived, they brought such an amazing energy and vibe to our wedding day. They were incredibly professional while also being so friendly, fun, and easy to be around, which made us feel comfortable in front of the cameras all day. They knew exactly which moments to capture and made sure they got all of the shots that mattered to us, from the big moments to all of the little ones in between. You can tell they genuinely care about their work and about making the experience special for their couples. One of the absolute highlights was our same-day edit. It was AMAZING. It was emotional, romantic, beautifully put together, and honestly everything I had hoped it would be. Watching it during our wedding and getting to relive the day while we were still in the middle of it was such a special experience. They completely understood the feeling and vision we wanted. It was also such a fun bonus that Glenn and the team are Filipino too! Being Filipino myself, it made the experience feel even more personal, and they fit right in with my family and brought such a great energy to the day. We already know they captured our day beautifully, and we seriously cannot wait to see all of our photos, videos, and everything else they created. We are so happy we chose MPW Media and would absolutely recommend Glenn and his team to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely awesome photo and video team. Thank you, MPW Media, for being such an incredible part of our wedding day! Chickenjoy for life! (:

I rarely write negative reviews, but after this experience, I feel a responsibility to warn other…read morecouples. MPW was, without question, the most disappointing vendor we worked with for our wedding. Their work reflects complacency and a lack of professionalism that is difficult to comprehend given their reputation. I strongly advise against hiring them for your wedding. On the morning of our wedding, the team rushed every moment, creating unnecessary stress. During the reception, the issues escalated significantly. We paid a substantial amount for a same-day edit, which they repeatedly promised would be ready "in five minutes." This delay continued for over 90 minutes. As a result, the DJ stopped the music multiple times in anticipation of the video entrance, and approximately 90-95% of our 400 guests believed the reception had ended and began leaving. This completely disrupted and ultimately ruined our reception. Several months later, we received the final edited video, which was expected timing-wise. However, the quality was shocking. The video showed severe technical and artistic failures: the camera focused on a guest's armpit during the ceremony, excessive lens flares blocked the screen during our first dance, and extended shots included the photographer's bald spot instead of the couple. Additionally, important screen presentations prepared by my wife's family were entirely missed. When we contacted MPW to express that the video was unacceptable, a team member accidentally replied to our email in Filipino rather than internally. After translating the message, it stated that it was "the worst video he has ever seen" and that "the guy they hired was terrible." This confirmed our concerns about the quality of the work and internal oversight. We requested corrections, after which MPW sent a revised edit. Unfortunately, they only changed the presentation slides (after we provided the files again) and added excessive fade-to-black transitions. It was clear the video had not been fully reviewed. In multiple scenes, their crew can be seen sitting in the background or not paying attention to framing, with people walking through shots--further demonstrating a lack of care and professionalism. I then sent a detailed email with timestamps outlining every issue. Despite this still being the first proper revision, we were repeatedly reminded of their policy that additional edits cost extra. Each revision fixed one issue while introducing another, creating the impression that the process was intentionally prolonged to justify charging for additional edits. After 14 months of ongoing communication, we finally received the completed video. However, the raw footage--part of our agreement--was not included. We had to follow up again before it was finally delivered. At this point, we will need to hire another editor simply to produce a watchable and respectful wedding film. This experience included a rushed wedding morning, unacceptable filming angles, missed key moments, a severely delayed same-day edit that disrupted our reception, and over a year of exhausting back-and-forth. I do not enjoy writing reviews like this, and I am generally very understanding of human error. However, the level of negligence and lack of accountability we experienced was unacceptable. I would not want any other couple to go through this. Please learn from our experience and avoid this company. I only posted 3 screenshot from the first video but have many more

Representing a small business with a limited budget, my efforts of finding the right fit for my client was challenging.

Kaleidoscope Pictures delivered. My client and I were thrilled with not only the high quality videos but the entire process. Christopher and his team were helpful, flexible, responsive in all communications and a joy to work with. I would definitely work with them again and would not hesitate to recommend them.

It's not every day I am in front of a camera, and those flashbacks of the Olan Mills elementary school pictures still haunt me. Before the shoot, Christopher talked to me to understand my creative endeavors and how I planned to use the photo, which was critical to capturing the emotion I wanted to convey. We then reviewed shots, making adjustments along the way. Within two hours, we were able to talk about objectives, do the photo shoot, retouch the final image and then Christopher sent me a link to my photo. Easy breezy! I highly recommend Kaleidoscope Pictures for your next head shot, portrait or whatever you'd like to capture. ~Kym
