Having Wedding Video Films document my wedding journey was one of the best decisions of my life!…read moreSoleil and his team were nothing short of amazing and made the most incredible, cinematic videos for our wedding events. Our journey with him started for our engagement party where he and his wife documented our traditional Vietnamese Dam Hoi beautifully. Though they aren't extremely familiar with the customs of our cultural event, they got the best shots and important moments nevertheless and created a beautiful recap for us to look back on! They were extremely professional and worked well with another photographer we hired (who they have never worked with before). Soleil's down to earth and fun personality made us feel so comfortable with him and allowed him to capture us in our natural, candid state. He also worked amazingly well with Dennis (Studio Dizon) who was our wedding photographer! They have worked with eachother for many events and their chemistry makes the shoot go so smoothly and efficiently as they bounce off of each others' creative visions. Soleil and his team spent hours with us for our engagement shoot, ensuring that we got the best shots. Traveling from location to location, they put in so much time and effort to get the full vision. His engagement video for us was absolutely iconic and I have been told by friends that it's the best pre-wedding video they have ever seen! On the wedding day, Soleil and his team were extremely professional and had great high energy that transferred to us, making pictures and videos feel more relaxed, fun and less stressful. I just had to listen to his instructions and the shot ended up perfect. There was barely any effort to model on my part which was great because my mind was racing with thoughts and anxiety. They worked so hard for hours throughout our day to ensure they got the best shots! After the wedding, Soleil delivered sooo many edits ij such a short amount of time I was shocked. He made short reels for me to post on TikTok/IG and multiple versions of short highlights. The editing was incredible and got everyone so excited while the hype was still high after the wedding! I know how much effort it is to edit especially with so much content to sift through, yet somehow he was able to do it perfectly and extremely fast. It's just not the same when you have to wait super long to post and the wedding feels stale. So being able to post and share with friends and family immediately meant everything!!! I am so happy with everything and I cannot recommend Soleil and his team enough! I look forward to booking them for every future big event I have!

Soleil leads the creative team and he has an incredible eye. I love how they approach every wedding with wanting to capture the whole story and creating that in the final product. The service they offer is an amazing value, as they could easily be charging double for their service. As a professional wedding planner, having talented vendors to call upon makes my job easier; knowing I'm going to refer a client to a true professional, like Wedding Video Films, gives me confidence to make the introduction and not have to micromanage on the big day. Thank you, Wedding Video Films, for the great work and capturing so many of my couples.

Drew was incredibly communicative and easy to work with - he clearly explained the process and ensured that we were happy with every aspect of the final product. One of the things that impressed us most was how seamlessly he worked with our photographers such that it felt like 1 seamless team working together. It showed in the quality of the footage, which captured all of the key moments from our wedding beautifully. Watching the raw footage again made us tear up - it's been amazing to relive those special moments. Drew also delivered some fantastic drone shots and created a great montage that really told the story of our day. Overall, we think Drew offered excellent value for his services.

My husband and I hired Andy to do both photo and video for our Chinese bridal party, wedding…read moreceremony at San Francisco City Hall plus 2 outdoor SF locations, and Chinese dinner banquet at Koi Palace in Daly City. This consisted of 3 different days of shooting. Before the event days, we communicated through email and he was always very quick to respond to my questions and provide me with the information I requested for. He provided a clear contract with all details listed out so it was a very stress-free process. On the bridal party day, he was very punctual and arrived at my mother-in-law's home earlier than the planned meeting time. My husband and I met him for the first time that day and we immediately had a great first impression. He was very friendly and easy to work with. All of my family members complimented how hard working he was as he went around the house photographing every single detail. The house had lots of decorations and bridal food set up by my two mothers and he made sure to capture literally every inch. He was very respectful to all of my family when instructing everyone how to pose or organize in different areas of the home. I have a large family so there were many rotations of different groups for photos but he made it fun for everyone by offering suggestions for fun and candid poses. It made everyone feel more relaxed and less stiff. He really made us feel like we got all the shots we could possibly get. Everybody was happy and the event went smoothly. A week later, we got married at San Francisco City Hall. Andy and his partner arrived earlier than planned and got all of their equipment set up and ready so we would have all the entrances of us and our family captured before the ceremony. He had done numerous wedding shoots at SF City Hall in the past so he was able to be like a tour guide for us during the entire event. Before the signing, he took portrait photos of us and our intimate family. Then he led us to the clerk office and told us everything to be expected. He captured our signing and the entire ceremony at the rotunda. He always made sure to get the best angles without people in the background and politely asked others to please move aside so we could get a great shot. We really appreciated this. Our ceremony was on a Friday, which is the busiest day at City Hall for marriages, so there were so tons of people everywhere. But Andy tried so hard for us and always found the open spots for our chance. After taking every possible shot at City Hall, we headed out for an outdoor shoot at two locations of our choice in SF. First we went to Fort Point and took photos inside and around the Fort building. It was a very cold and windy day so Andy did his best to work fast and allow us time to warm up in between different shots. He was very considerate and always checked with us to make sure we were okay and could continue in the cold. We were able to walk to many different spots in the Fort for a nice variety of photos. The next outdoor location we visited was Palace of Fine Arts. He also had past experience here so he knew great places for us to sit or pose at. He knew we were getting tired from the long day and it was still really cold outside so he did his best to shoot fast so we could get through the entire area quickly. He and his partner must've been really cold too but they never complained and were always enthusiastic to take more photos. The following day was our dinner banquet at Koi Palace. Once again, Andy and his partner arrived earlier than the expected meeting time and got to work photographing all the details possible inside the restaurant. The inside of the restaurant was a bit tight since we had the max amount of tables allowed in the space but they did a great job maneuvering around and setting up equipment in areas that were out of the way for walking. When people started to arrive and sign in, he made sure to capture candid moments as well as take the posed photos with every single group. He was so friendly to all of our guests and made everyone feel comfortable to take photos. The whole event went smoothly and we got everything we wanted captured. All of our photos turned out amazing and we got so many compliments from friends and family. They will be treasured for years to come. Before meeting him we were camera shy people and didn't know how to pose for anything. After working with him, we now feel like naturals standing in front of a camera. He always knew how to make us feel relaxed and comfortable. It really boosted our confidence and helped us get amazing photos that we never knew were possible. He is truly a hard worker who is passionate about his job. We could not have asked for a better photographer and were so lucky to have found him. We highly recommend Andy and his team to anyone for their special day.

From our first interaction to receiving the final gallery, Andy was professional, easy to communicate with, and incredibly thoughtful in his approach. On the day of the wedding, Andy showed up early, was calm and collected throughout, and made us feel totally at ease in front of the camera. He struck the perfect balance between giving just enough direction and letting moments unfold naturally. He was really great when it came to the family photos and helped capture some great moments with our little nieces and nephews. The photos turned out beautifully--crisp, vibrant, and full of life. Andy captured everything from the big moments of the wedding to the reception to the quiet, intimate ones of the decor, getting ready to the first look. His eye for detail and composition is truly impressive, and we're so grateful to have such a meaningful record of the day. If you're looking for a photographer who is professional, personable, and truly passionate about his craft, we can't recommend Andy enough!

Thanks to Google :). Professionalism 5/5 : When I reach out to Ray. He was calm and very accommodating. He answered my questions and the day and date was fixed. Ray and his wife are not only professional but also very gentle and warm. I felt so comfortable having Shabnam handled my newborn. Their professionalism and compassion were top notch. I love how both worked so hard to capture beautiful moments. They brought their little studio and took amazing pictures. Affordability 5/5: while the big names charge insanely. (Although, i understand the vulnerability and complexity handling newborn and amount spent to edit pictures ), I found Kabiri studio a godsend for people who are in budget but also wanted to capture the newborn session. I got lucky as I was able to grab his special discount. Having that discount allowed me to add family pictures. Even though it took us more than 1 hour for the photoshoot, Kabiri studio were generous and gave further discount. I could further tell, both Ray and Shabnam do this with heart and love their work. The newborn and family pictures were great. Thank you for taking ample pictures for us to select. I wish I could select all. The photoshoot itself was very affordable however if anyone go down to their studio in Brentwood their rates are even more affordable. I am very thankful to have come across Kabiri studio and have newborn and family picture taken by them. I love how Ray puts his customer over profit. They are more into building lasting relationships and helping people like us to make meaningful memories I cannot wait to have more photos taken and wholeheartedly recommend them.

I got married 3 years exactly to this month and during the time when we were searching for our…read morephotographer, they of course offer the wedding album as part of a package and/or add-on. As I'm sure everyone can relate to, spending more money than necessary at that time was very daunting and felt unneeded. My fiance (at that time) and I decided to wait on the wedding album once we gathered all the photos from photography, family, friends, etc... and save up the money and get the wedding album later on so it's not so much sticker shock all built up in one year/one day. In my opinion that's the way to go. During the wedding time frame, you have enough to keep you busy and going like collecting pictures from people, photographer, dealing with thank you cards and wedding gifts, possibly moving and honeymoon, etc... I would suggest other brides to deal with the wedding album later on if possible. There is the fear that you put it off and you may never get it done, but I always knew that I wanted an album of some sort since photo albums are a thing of the past. It would just depend on when I got around to doing it. I found Blended Motion via a photographer that I was interviewing and I had asked if they had any wedding album services only since we decided to go with another photographer. Our wedding photographer charged a ridiculous amount for their day-of services and I wasn't about to add on a ridiculous amount more for a wedding album designed not to the exact way I would want it. The other photography company referred me to Blended Motion and said it was a separate company and that I could work directly with them to design my album. I had taken a look at all the sample albums and styles on their website and came up with a bunch of questions for their services and wanted to see how customized they could make the album/process. I sent in an inquiry via their web form and received a prompt email response the next day. They also explained the entire process so there was no surprises, like how many times could I revise the album. I also wanted the styles to be mixed, not all of one style - i like variety. They were very accommodating and understanding, no hassle at all. You start by paying for a deposit, once you pay the deposit, they send you a link to a dropbox to upload your images. Once they receive the images they get to work on designing, I think first round was received a full week later. You are sent a link to log on and use their web album for viewing and commenting. It's a pretty good process of being able to comment on each spread and submit the comments. I would screengrab the spreads and print them out and share them with my husband and we would mark and comment what we would like to change or replace certain images. The only downside about this image is that it was hard to specify WHICH image I was referring to if there was a lot of images on each page/spread, you just have to get creative with saying "top row, second column, image with lady in pink" etc... Overall, it took me awhile, but I took mental (life) breaks between review rounds and would not respond for awhile because I got busy or was looking for new images to replace certain images. It's nice that they don't pressure you to finish within a fast turnaround time. But typically it should be a 2-week process probably. I took a few months haha. But after submitting comments, usually a turnaround would be next day or a few days later for another review. My album came relatively quick after I approved the album and submitted payment for the remaining amount. They told me it takes about 10 days to 2 weeks, but I got mine a week later. It arrived via UPS in a box, which the album comes in a nice gift box with a bow, and it's wrapped in tissue paper inside (see pictures I posted). Overall, great presentation and great quality. One minor thing I did notice, was a few images seem to be a little more on the red-side, but it wasn't across the board thankfully. I hope to have this and cherish it together with family for a lifetime.

I would highly recommend using BlendedMotion to anyone looking to get an album made of their…read morewedding photos (or any event!). The whole process was so easy and the quality of their work was fantastic! All I had to do was upload the photos I wanted used into their dropbox and they did the rest... which isn't exactly an easy feat considering the fact my photos uploaded out of order so they had to arrange all of them in a way that "told the story" of our wedding day. Once all the photos were formatted they sent me an electronic first draft for review. The first draft was so good that there were only a few minor changes to be made (such as change a photo from color to b&w, etc). In addition, the program they use to review the draft made it really easy to communicate the changes I wanted. When I received the album I was blown away. The quality of the album and the printing process was beyond my expectations and as mentioned in a previous post it comes in a very nice storage box. For anybody that feels these albums are expensive, trust me, they are worth every penny!

Will was always very prompt, professional, and positive in responding to our questions and requests. We just received our Highlight and Long videos which we will forever cherish. Will and Bruno beautifully captured the heartfelt and tender moments of our ceremony and reception: the profound emotions visible in teary eyes and audible during the vow exchanges and family speeches. Will then took all the footage and artistically weaved it into a beautiful film which captured our special day as we had envisioned it: full of love, laughter and fun with our families and friends. Will was also receptive, and quick, in making several edits to make the final film depict our wedding day exactly as we had imagined it. We highly recommend Will and his team at Kindlewood Films!

He delivered the video in advance with great quality and was patient enough to go through many rounds of edits with me (thank you!). What makes Will's videos different from others is that he takes time to create a storyline that is not the typical chronological order you see most wedding video these days are (those ones all look the same). His work weaves in speeches, context and details that makes the video unique and truly yours.. Our families and friends loved the videos and we love them too.
