I hired Marco to do the video for my wedding. I have to say, I initially picked him after a lot of research because his prices were much lower than competitors and his portfolio seemed solid on his website...but I was really blown away with the quality he delivered! Especially considering he is on the lower end of what you'd pay for wedding video, I was a little worried it would be pretty poor quality. This wasn't the case at all.
Some highlights:
-Highly responsive (I don't live in San Diego, so this was important to me) - he replied quickly to my emails and was happy to jump on conference calls with me + my parents to understand what we wanted
-Super flexible - he was happy to split up his time (6-7 hours on the day) between our ceremony and reception, which had a huge gap in between.
-Able to interpret our needs - we weren't his usual customers, given we had a Hindu ceremony + Western reception. We wanted the final product to not just be a highlight reel and instead capture most of the 3 hour ceremony, cutting out the boring/dead periods between ceremony steps. We also wanted video messages with some of our closest family and friends (I was worried this would come out corny but was so glad we did this, since with a 200 person wedding you really don't have time to see everyone). Marco gave us a final product with about 1.5 hours of the ceremony, 30 minutes of video speeches, and 30 minutes of toasts, first dance, cake cutting, the usual highlights. I know that it would actually be harder for him to produce a longer video, since he needs more high quality footage and can't cut as much, but he did a great job with this.
-Worked well with our photographer - I was worried he might get into shots or mess with our photographer, but Marco was happy to work with him and stay out of his way when needed. In the end, this didn't hurt the quality of our video at all.
-Great final product - the sound, framing of shots, image quality were all superb for a one man show!
If you really want video for your event and are looking for someone competent and skilled to do it, reach out to Marco. If his packages don't fit your exact needs, definitely talk to him about what you want and see if you can work something out. He was a pleasure for us to work with! read more
