Finding the perfect videographer was one of the toughest vendors for us to nail down. I must have watched over a hundred different wedding videos before finally asking my friend who she used. That's when she introduced me to Eisen from Lumitone. He was great to work and communicate with, made booking and paying easy, and was very reasonably priced. On the day of our wedding, Eisen and his buddy showed up on time and worked hard all day to capture every moment. When we got our video, we were absolutely speechless. It was edited so well - from the music to the speeches with seamless transitions - it perfectly summarized our wedding day in under 8 minutes. I love it so much and every time I watch it I'm so touched and floored by how amazing our video turned out. Of all our wedding vendors, Lumitone is one I have zero regrets booking and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a videographer. Thank you Eisen and Lumitone for giving us the best wedding video we could ask for and letting us relive our big day over and over again! read more

Full disclosure, I'm OBSESSED with our videos. I've watched them all multiple times lol! They did such an amazing job, makes me feel like I'm reliving the day almost almost a year ago. I felt comfortable with them during the getting ready process, I did opt out of them coming to my parents home for the hair and makeup since we had the photographers there but they were able to get amazing footage at the venue of my mom and maid of honor buttoning up my dress etc. so I don't feel like we missed out on anything. Thank you so much for the amazing videos that will help us relive the most amazing day whenever we want. read more

Alex and his crew at Lumitone are directly responsible for causing the most "wow" moments at our wedding! Here's why: 1) They created a "growing-up montage" that was a work of technological genius. We showed it at our rehearsal dinner and our guests were left gasping "how did they DO that"? It was nothing like the cheesy slideshows that you saw at your best friend's bar mitzvah. 2) Alex and his team put together a "Same Day Edit" to show at our wedding reception. Let me break this one down for you. Alex and his assistant work their tails off to get detailed footage of the whole wedding day, and periodically run the footage up to their other assistant who is sitting somewhere quietly piecing it all together into a video. A video that looks like a professional movie trailer, that is then SHOWN to your guests that night! This is good for many "oohs and ahhs" and "how'd they DO that?"....not to mention some goose bump inducing moments when you get to sit with all of your guests and watch the most memorable moments of that day on the big screen, and set to music. 3) Alex is such a wedding-master, that he was the one who ended up gently guiding us through the timeline of our day! Our wedding coordinator was out to lunch and unavailable when she should've been helping us, and Alex didn't hesitate to cue us when we needed to move things along. In fact, he was the one who told us it was time to line up to walk down the aisle, that it was time to cut the cake, etc. Without his attention to our timeline and the needs of our guests, I'd probably still be sitting in the Bridal Suite waiting for our wedding coordinator to come get me. Alex and his team were so polite and professional. They managed to get every little detail and facial expression, while still making us feel like we were having private moments. While we're waiting for them to complete our full-length video, they've posted our Same Day Edit and Growing Up Montage online so that all of our friends and family can re-live the highlights of our special day. Alex and his team deliver top-notch service, and as an added bonus, his lovely wife pitches in too, making sure that final videos are crafted with helpful advice from a woman's perspective...what more could a bride ask for?? read more

These guys completed Claire and Jeremy's wedding video last Saturday (11/24/07). It felt like I was watching a short film form Michael Bay. They're right. They are not videographers..... THEY'RE CINEMATOGRAPHERS!!! I have a few projects line up for them in 2008. read more

Lumitone - Felizardo Wedding (11/24/07) - Videographers Near Me - Burlingame, California

This is a long and overdue review. Eisen and team are definitely the go to guys if you are looking for a cinematographer. My wife and I hired lumitone in 2013 and had a great experience. Their punctuality, attention to detail, staff and the ability to work with our photographer was great. These guys also did a same day edit for us and were mindblown. Definitely recommend their services. read more

Eisen was amazing to work with. He was attentive to our questions and vision and went above and beyond the call of duty when it came to shooting and creating the video for our wedding. He and his team were professional, easy to work with, and extremely talented. My husband and I could not be anymore thrilled with how our wedding video come out and continue to get compliments on the quality and details that were shot from those we share the video with. You cannot best Lumitone and Eisen! Thanks for giving the opportunity to relive one of the most special days over and over again. read more

To Eisen, Ryan, and rest of the crew. Lorraine and I thank you for putting up with us and capturing moments during our special day. It was hot that day but it was all worth it. Your professionalism was superb. You guys made us feel comfortable while capturing photos and vids of us. You added more fun to our photo session. We will for sure hire the team on future family events. You guys are the best. read more

I first heard about Lumitone when Eisen did my sister's Same Day Edit (SDE) on her wedding day. I was so in love with their work that I knew I had to get them for my wedding one day. Fast forward to 7 years later I hired Lumitone and it was the best decision ever! My husband and I could not be more thrilled and satisfied with their amazing work and service! We purchased the Same Day Edit and Videography package and we could not be happier with the company we had chosen! Eisen and his crew (Ben and Ross) did a phenomenal job taking the best shots for our Same Day Edit. We especially enjoyed how entertaining our SDE was to watch when it was played at our wedding. Our family and friends complimented us on how amazing the SDE turned out and how quickly it was completed! I especially loved the thoughtfulness, humor, and creativity that was implemented in our video. It was like watching a drama/comedy music video all at once! The implementation with Eisen's drone being able to capture our venue and every moment of our big day was very impressive in such little time. I HIGHLY recommend Lumitone for your special day they're friendly and accommodating with your wants and needs! You will not regret it because they're professional and are able to work with other Vendors on your big day. So stop wasting your time looking anywhere else and just hire Lumitone already so you can move on to your next task for your special day! :) read more

I loved working with the Lumitone team, particularly Eisen and Alex - they did my entire wedding/engagement/save-the-date videography (which included a destination wedding in Hawaii (July 2011) so I can honestly say I've worked with them for quite some time. They are super laid-back and relaxing to work with, just a couple of "dudes" so if you have a clear direction of what you want, just tell it to them and they can be realistic with what is doable or not. It was perfect for my style and personality - I just wanted something easy and straightforward, fun and light and they help support that environment throughout filming of your event. I was extremely pleased with the experience throughout and the end result, the videos post-edits were incredible and take me back every time I watch them. They gave me a great fair price and here's what I got: - Creative Save-the-Date video which we sent out to all our friends. It was a quick day of filming to finish everything and was put together nicely. Eisen has some pretty creative ideas so encourage him to voice his suggestions. He can get pretty artistic, which I appreciated since I have no "vision" whatsoever. This was a quick 2-3 minute video and was really fun to capture, and a bit of a different way to announce your "save-the-date." - An engagement video shoot. Since our wedding was in scenic Hawaii, we flew Alex & Eisen over and a couple days before the wedding, we did a day of filming on the beach (which was later integrated into our final wedding video). It was gorgeous, lots of running around on pristine sand, blue waters and clear skies. - Wedding day filming: Alex & Eisen came to the house we rented during prep-time and got all the little details of everything (which was awesome because I got to see some funny clips of what was going on with the guys during the "outakes" section of our wedding video that I normally would never have seen since I was busy getting ready on the girls side of the house). They also set up some of the details and got the scenery, which obviously is nice because when you view your video later on, you can relive the moments and remember all the glorious details you put so much time and energy into finalizing. They had good command of the pace of the event and got all sorts of different angles but you hardly knew they were there, like video ninjas. - Same Day Edit. I can't believe they got everything together so quickly to show our guests at the end of the evening. It was a wonderful treat for our guests to watch and a perfect way to end the evening. - I paid extra to get the raw footage, which I understand is not something that they typically do, but I just wanted to have it in case there are any jeweled moments in there that I didn't catch. Long-winded review, I know, but they literally were there for me every bit of the way and so that is obviously why there is so much to write regarding Lumitone's services. read more

Lumitone was our wedding videographer in 2010 and they did a fabulous job! I did WEEKS of research for all of my wedding vendors because I was determined to only have the best for our big day and I originally fell in love with a video company from Canada (yes, Canada --see how extensive my research was?!) Unfortunately, they were wayyy out of our price range starting at $8K. I was bummed for a long time because I was sure that no one in our area would be able to measure up to what we wanted. I'd visited many video websites, met a bunch of videographers at bridal fairs, and was not happy with anyone... until... I found Alex at Lumitone. After seeing their portfolio, and reading their reviews, I knew that I'd found 'the one'. Their work is amazing and they have so many qualities that set them apart from other companies. Here are just a few of the reasons why we selected them: - Stunning Same-Day Edits (SDE's) which was a must for us - Videos shot in HD - Films that are more like cinematic 'stories' rather than the typical boring raw footage set to music - Reasonable price (we were able to make installments up to our wedding and even received a small discount for paying in cash) - Blu-Ray DVD's *which I forgot all about until we received our wedding videos Plus, they were great at dealing with all of my non-stop bridal requests. From my SDE 'vision', to my music selections, to our multiple video edits, and so much more... they were very gracious and always patient. Here's a link to our SDE which we showed to our guests during dessert. Everyone loved it and so many people thought that it was shot during our 'rehearsal wedding' until they saw themselves in the shoot :) How freaking awesome is that?? http://vimeo.com/9498740 Our only minor complaints were: (1) the person who filmed my husband and his groomsmen while they were getting ready seemed like an amateur fill-in. he didn't get that many good shots and therefore there was a huge lack of footage of my husband before the wedding :( *note: eisen filmed the females and he did a great job! (2) alex's communication style is very brief and concise. not that that is particularly a bad thing... but when you're an excited bride-to-be and you write a 2-page long email detailing your expectations of the event it is a little off-putting when he simply replies 'OK'. Otherwise, everything else exceeded our expectations. We loved our SDE and our actual wedding video was perfect. And all for such a great value! I would highly recommend Lumitone to any couple. What a wonderful way to capture wedding day memories!! BOTTOM LINE: The absolute BEST choice for a wedding videographer in the SF bay area!! read more

My wife and I had our wedding on 10/11/2008 and we're lucky to find Lumitone to be our wedding videographer. We ordered a package that contained two special, unique features that are usually not seen in other weddings. First is the wedding slideshow, which was done in a unique and animated fashion. Second is the same day edit feature, where there's actually someone who does editing while Alex and his crew taped us, and present a highlight reel of all the events that led up to our first dance. It was definitely amazing and you can tell the audience was impressed. Alex and his crew were very professional and you can tell that they know what they're doing because they have videotaped many weddings and know exactly what moments to capture. I have a give a big kudos for the last minute changes that Alex did for us. I'm a pretty techie person so having our wedding filmed in HD is a definite big plus for me. I already bought my PS3 and I'm ready to view the wedding video in Blu-ray! read more

We used Alex and his crew when they were a small shop, just starting out in the wedding videography business. We liked his friendly, laid-back yet professional style, but it was the quality of the overall editing work that convinced us that hiring a videographer was the right choice for our wedding. Alex showed us several samples of different styles of videos to illustrate how flexible his team was in evoking the right mood, style, and pacing for a truly custom wedding video. We were not disappointed when we received our final product! First off, the highlight video had fantastic editing and had some pretty cool effects I have not seen from any other videographer (check out the website for examples). The actual video itself was just the right length and captured a lot that we didn't see in our professional photographs or in person on the big day. The ceremony is recorded in full from a few different angles and all of the main elements are there including shots taken while we're posing for photographs as well as a few specific moments that Alex and his team captured for video exclusively. What was fun is that while it was difficult to get photographs of everyone boogying on the dance floor (low-light, outdoors), the dance "sequence" is my favorite part of the whole video! We had a lot of fun and the music that Alex mixed in was perfect! We're not big sentimental saps, but even the hubby and I enjoy breaking out the wedding video every once in awhile to reminisce. When we were researching, we looked at some of the most expensive and (we therefore assumed) top-notch wedding videographers in the Bay Area: Weddings on Film, Alexa Lee, Thomas Hughes, etc. Not only do we think we got an excellent value in going with Lumitone, but we're also convinced we got a video that really reflected our style for our special day. Another bonus, Alex shoots everything in hi-def, so even though our wedding was 2 years ago, he just sent us copies of our wedding DVD on Blu-Ray! Highly recommend Lumitone -- c'mon it's your wedding day. Go for the low stress, fun, and quality option. read more

Finding a videographer that I would be happy with was extremely challenging for me -- the reason being is that I am a Television Producer and I've worked in the Broadcast Industry for over 10 years. So, fortunately or unfortunately, I was approaching the selection of a videographer for my own wedding with a trained professional eye. Lumitone impressed me right from the start and they stood far above all of their competition. Lumitone's gorgeous cinematic style and creative editing were a stark contrast to the mediocrity that is all too common among wedding videographers. As a TV Producer, I am highly demanding of everybody I work with in my business. I knew that I would be a very difficult client because I am so used to professional standards of quality. Lumitone effortlessly met and exceeded my expectations! I also must mention that Alex Tomek and his entire team were a pleasure to work with. Alex and Wolf were very professional, attentive and helpful -- from the weeks leading up to the wedding, during the big day itself, to the editing process afterwards. I give Lumitone my highest recommendation! read more

Where do I even start? As my now husband and I started our wedding planning, a videographer wasn't even an idea. Why? Umm... there's something called a budget, which we I knew we had to stick to. Anyway, I decided to do some research on my own and I came across Lumitone. As I watched many videos on their blog, I started contemplating how I'd convince my husband on hiring Lumitone. It wasn't too tough. Alex was willing to get on the phone with him to chat. And I started showing him videos as well. Well... he agreed! So, instead of having the traditional lion dancing at our wedding - we had a sde instead! The end result was FABULOUS! Pricing... it may be a bit much to most couples, but please... if your wedding is important... capture the day. If it helps, you pay 1/3 at a time... so it's not too bad. There was one hiccup... Alex called me a few days before the wedding, asking me if it'd be ok if we didn't have a sde. He offered to credit me instead. I got upset and started asking him why... etc. I told him we had gotten rid of our lion dancing, just so we could have the sde. Alex explained the situation and told me one of the guys got into a pretty bad accident so, he wouldn't be able to work for awhile. (They had my wedding and another wedding to shoot the same day.) Alex said the other bride wouldn't budge, but then again - why would I? But of course, after hearing what had happened - I tried coming up with solutions that'd work for both Alex and myself. I ended up being ok with 2 cameramen (which 1 was an editor). I ended up getting the better crew, a nice credit, and I'm so grateful for that. You can totally tell if you were to compare the sde's, that mine turned out perfect. :) Fast forward to the day of the wedding... Eisen and his partner got to our first location on time and they started right away. And the cool part... Eisen, like my husband and I, is also a huge Giants fan! (Congrats to our 2012 WS Champs!) I swear they had just as much fun as we did during our photo shoot after the ceremony. :) The wedding them... Let's Go Giants! (clap, clap, clap, clap, clap) When we got tothe reception location, surprise surprise! I see Alex upstairs editing! He somehow was able to make it out, so we had the 3 of them for the rest of the night. Anyway, I seriously can't praise these guys enough. Their leader's of SDE's for a reason. We can't wait until our finished product is done! In a meantime, check out our SDE - brought to you by Lumitone! Thanks again, guys! http://vimeo.com/52348024 read more

I never considered having a videographer for my wedding until my friend showed me her video montage from Lumitone Productions. Needless to say, I was convinced I had to hire Alex. I then had to convince my fiance (now husband) about hiring a videographer (we were on a fairly tight budget) and after he saw more clips of Alex Tomek's work, he agreed that we should book him. No disappointments, no regrets. In fact, every step of the way I was thankful we found him through my friend! Unlike some of my other wedding vendors, he was always prompt with his emails, was on time to our scheduled appointments (or let us know ahead of time if he had to cancel) and arrived early on our wedding day. He's friendly yet courteous and professional. The work? Incredible. Alex is a great wedding videographer not just for his talent with the camera, but with his uncanny ability to capture the little moments that other people might miss. I just saw my video for the first time three months after our wedding, and it brought a huge lump to my throat. I was surprised to find out he had a camera strategically placed so he could capture our faces at the altar as our pastor said the wedding message! All the little looks, smiles and nudges we gave to each other was not missed. Certainly you want these memories to be kept throughout the years. Depending on your package, he can create a unique style for your video--whether it be elegant, MTV-style, modern, etc. His special effects are definitely cool. The price? Extremely reasonable for the amount of work he and his team puts in. I can't praise him enough! For more on Alex Tomek, visit Lumitone Productions' website at: http://www.lumitone.com read more

If you want a professional team to handle photos and videos for your special day, or in my case, special days, look no further than Lumitone. From the moment we met Eisen, my husband and I felt that he cared as much about our big day as we did. He took the time to listen to what we wanted and executed as such. Us and our guests were beyond impressed with our same day edit video which played like a short film. I will gladly recommend Eisen and his team to my friends and loved ones in the future. Thank you Lumitone team! I will be back to update this review once we receive our video and photos! read more

My husband and I hired Lumitone as our videographers for our September 2014 wedding. It was one of the best decisions we made in regards to hiring wedding vendors. We got the basic wedding package (8 hour coverage + 2 videographers) and we added an extra hour coverage and the same-day-edit video. At first we were hesitant to add the same-day-edit video due to the extra cost and trying to stay within our budget, but Alex sold me on getting the same-day-edit. He said that was their claim to fame and what Lumitone was known for. He said my guests will be so entertained and it will be the talk of the night. Also, it will probably be the only memories (besides guests photos) to share with other friends and families soon after the wedding. He was right and we were so glad to have added on the same-day-edit package. So, if you are debating whether or not you think it is worth it, I would say just get it! Fast forward 5 months later, Eisen e-mailed us to arrange a meeting to preview our wedding video (~24 min, not including speeches) at the new studio in Burlingame. We loved the preview even though a few minor touch ups were needed. He wanted to get our feedback and see if we wanted to make any changes. We loved everything he put together for us and it was arranged so smoothly that we really didn't have any suggestions for change. Overall, we were very satisfied with Lumitone and highly recommend them to anyone considering videography for their wedding and get the same-day-edit! read more

Initially, we didn't want a videographer because we were on a budget. We are SO GLAD we spent the money! Watching the highlight video really brought back a lot of the day that I felt like I didn't have time to see amid the mayhem! Our video was so beautiful and we can't wait to get the raw footage or our ceremony so we can watch it again!!! read more

Very satisfied with Lumitone! My sister actually used these guys for her wedding last year and they did a really good job. I'm pretty sure she ordered the package deal with both video and photo; I distinctly remember her saying how she "actually liked a photo of herself for once" lol. The photographers were very professional throughout the whole event and answered all of our questions with the utmost passion. Although it was my sisters wedding, she put me in charge of hiring the photographers and I'm so happy that it turned out well. You won't be disappointed! read more

My wife and I are very fortunate to have Lumitone (Alex) as our videographer. First and foremost, we thoroughly enjoyed our wedding video. They captured all the perfect moments during our wedding. Their artistry and technical skill are simply amazing. Secondly, Alex and his staff were very professional and courteous. They always followed up with us on all our questions. Their professionalism and vast experience made us feel very comfortable. Perhaps this feeling of comfort and ease is exactly what allows them to capture the genuine moments that defines a wedding. Thirdly, Alex and his staff understand what it takes to satisfy the customer. Both my wife and I had different visions for the video and slideshow. Amazingly, they were able to make us both happy by creating a customized music video of my musical performance during our wedding, while also creating state-of-the-art slideshow for my wife. Fantastic! The bottom line is that a wedding day only lasts for just that... a day. A wonderful wedding video lasts a lifetime. We are proud and blessed to be able to share our wedding video of this high quality with all our family and friends. We have already recommended Lumitone to several of our friends and will continue to do so. Thank you Lumitone! read more

Lumitone did a fantastic job on our wedding video in 2009. They have a great eye for composition. The video flowed like a movie and was very artistic. Since there were multiple camera men, they were able to catch single events from multiple angles. Overall, they were very professional, timely and super friendly. Highly recommended! -A BIG thanks from Paul & Alyssa read more

Having Lumitone shoot my wedding video last year was such a good decision. They did a phenomenal job. Our highlight and wedding video was beautifully put together. I could watch my video over and over again and it brings me joy each time. Eisen was so easy to work with. He was helpful and very professional. We wanted our film to really tell our story without being too cheesy. They did such an amazing job capturing the moments and details. read more

If there were more stars to give - I'd give more! All I can say is Incredible. BRIDES - there is NOTHING on the market at this price that gives you the amazing work they do - they are EXTREMELY undervalued. As other reviewers have said - they are not videographers - they create cinematic magic! When I started planning my wedding, I knew that I'd spend the major portion of my budget (aside from catering) on the photography and videography because that's what you have left after the cake is gone, the dancing is done and the guests have left. I found lumitone on a random search online and their work blew me away. We weren't initially going to do the same day edit but our DJ metioned a wedding he went to with it and we decided to go with it and we were so glad we did. Of all the things that happened that night, our guests couldn't stop talking about the growing up slide show and most importantly the same day edit video. We surprised our guests with that and my future step-father in law stood up at the end and demanded that the person that made it come out and take a bow! They were blown away! Some of the comments we got were "It looked like a MTV video" - "It was like a mini-movie - so professional". It blew us away mostly because while we knew the videographer was there the whole day - we couldn't believe the AMAZING shots they got! I have probably watched the same day edit about 30x a day since the wedding last week! They were amazing professionals - even when I forgot I wanted something very special that my fiance loved. I didn't put it on my information sheet and my heart sank. I told my guy and he said 'the equipment is in the car - I'll go get it'. He could've said "you never told us" but instead he just ran and got the equipment so I could have that one element that I new my new husband wanted. Again, true professionals. I will come back and give my final review once I get the finished product but if I have anything to say to anyone that's looking for a videographer that will capture the day - look no further than Alex and his team. AMAZING!!!!! read more

I am an in-house event coordinator for a facility in downtown San Jose. Lumitone did a wedding the last Saturday in September and I was blown away with their work. I have seen many growing up montages but theirs was the best I have ever seen. Based on that I stayed at work longer to watch the Same Day Edit, which was amazing. The two videographers there that night were also very nice and professional. They are one of the few I have worked with that follow the time line and adjust to changes. I highly recommend Lumitone to any bride. And I hope to work with them again. read more

My husband and I were so blessed to have Lumitone recommended to us; they did an outstanding job! Because he was away my mom and I were interviewing possible vendors together. Lumitone was the first and the ONLY; we knew immediately they were "the ones!" Alex and his staff are nice, professional, and amazingly talented. Watching their demo CD was like watching a professional short film. It brought tears to our eyes and it wasn't even my wedding! Alex was organized, punctual and kept me on track- poor guy was having to follow up with me so he could prepare our pictures and songs for the reception slide show. In addition to that they also did a same day edit for us. The crew actually follows and films you all before and during the ceremony, then, they put together a short highlight video to show at your reception! It was incredible and so much fun to see a quick recap of our special day as it all went so quickly. All of our guests oooh'd and awww'd, gushing about how wonderful it was. Alex is meticulous and dedicated to making the client happy. They have great customer service as was proven to me upon our initial review of the video. I am EXTREMELY picky and chose a song myself to be added to the film of the ceremony. When I watched the video it was great, but the song just wasn't quite right. I felt horrible telling Alex I had made a mistake but he did not object at all! He simply said no problem and asked if there was anything else I wanted before proceeding to redo the entire section with my other song!! Customer service is truly his priority and we genuinely appreciate it. We are so happy with our videos and cannot thank them enough for capturing the most important event of our lives. Alex and his staff were easygoing and gifted; we would recommend them to anyone. Pictures are nice but there is nothing like being able to watch your whole wedding day over again and experience it a second time. Six Stars! read more

I hired Alex as my videographer for my wedding and even though the video was delayed it was definetely worth the wait! In one word: AMAZING!!!!!! Its unlike any wedding video I have ever seen. It's just like watching a movie. Alex puts it together with a cinematic feel from start to finish, with credits, bloopers etc at the end. If I had to do it over again I would hire Alex again and again. If you don't hire Lumitone for your wedding you will be dissapointed. Trust me! Its worth it Jennifer and Mario Sanchez-Valencia read more

Alex and the Lumitone team did a very good job of filming our wedding. They were always there to capture every moment and the the final video was just perfect! Also, I highly recommend that you get the package with the same-day-edit included. It was just beautiful and also very cool to see what happened earlier in the day while still enjoying your reception. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the SDE was - and it has been more than a year since the wedding! Both my husband and I are very happy that we chose Lumitone to film our big day. read more

Like most couples, we hemmed and hawed over the extra cost of adding video capture to our wedding day. We are so glad we did, and so glad that we found Alex and the Lumitone team to work with. The SDE they produced was the highlight of our night, and we've probably watched it 50 times as we reminisce. Alex is very attentive to producing a product that - if you tell them exactly what you want - will turn out exactly the way you want it to. Lumitone's style is classic and timeless, and you'll enjoy watching their work for years to come. We've read on Yelp that Alex isn't the best communicator in the run-up to the wedding day (at least maybe not to the standards of some excited brides-to-be). Remember that Alex and his team are video guys, and that they are there to produce the world's best wedding video. Don't be scared by short emails and not a lot of back and forth, these guys are pros and will produce a product that you love. Here's a link to the video they produced for us, we think it speaks for itself in its awesomeness. http://vimeo.com/76377218 Lumitone deserves your wedding business. These guys are great. read more

I found Lumitone from Yelp and suggest to give them a try. I am very happy doing business with them and that SDE is badass!! Alex was on time and very easy to get along with. I highly recommend Lumitone!! read more

My husband and I got married last November and we hired Lumitone as our photographers and videographers. The combo package was priced well below other companies (engagement photos were included). Alex, Eisen and team were extremely easy to work with - they were eager to hear what we liked and didn't like in terms of photos and were happy to listen. I sent Alex a long list of links to some of my favorite wedding photos a few days before the wedding and he did his best to recreate them for our big day. He even entertained our on-the-fly "hey can we do this?" requests on our wedding day. They made us feel relaxed, comfortable and showed us a few shots along they way (which were all amazing) making us THAT much more excited to have them shooting our wedding. As a few others have said, the team is pretty slow to return finished products - you won't be getting any sneak peaks the day after like many companies often offer. For us, we were fine waiting because the end results were so incredible and exactly what we were looking for. We received over 1500 photos of our wedding day, over 200 engagement photos, and a 15+ minute video (longer if you count the speeches) for an amazing deal. I would highly recommend Lumitone to any bride and groom to-be - you'll just need to be patient with your timelines! :) read more

Eisen and his crew are the best of the best. My wife and I hired him as our videographer and we absolutely love our short story video! My wife and I share a true love for one another and we wanted to find someone who could capture our true love. After shopping around and meeting a few videographers in the Bay Area, we felt a deep connection with Eisen and decided to hire him on the spot. The main deciding factor being that we could easily tell he is passionate about his work without a doubt. He and his crew are down to earth and hella fun to work with. They are very detailed and easy to work with. But most importantly, he is reasonably priced and you definitely get more than what you pay. I highly recommend Lumitone! read more

I highly recommend Lumitone for wedding videography. Their prices are great, they're VERY easy to work with, and their product turned out fantastic. They get the job done without the attitude that many wedding vendors possess. Definitely 5 stars! read more

Alex and Wolf were so fun to work with on our wedding day. These guys made my now husband and I feel like movie stars for the day. They had a plan and vision for the both of us prior to the wedding which made the day go very smoothly. They were a lot of fun and playful the whole day, which made our entire wedding party feel comfortable. They also put together our slideshow, which brought me to tears. Alex and Wolf, thanks for being a part of our special day. read more

My husband and I hired Alex and his partner Eisen for our wedding in April this year. I really appreciated the fact that Alex did not try to do more or less than exactly what I wanted. He listened, asked and answered questions about the wedding logistics, then assigned Eisen to be our videographer. On our big day, Eisen showed up on time. Throughout the entire day he captured every single moment without being intrusive at all! After the wedding was over, Alex took care of the editing and created a 3 min highlight video for us. Over the course of many email exchanges Alex stayed patient, cooperative and went the extra mile to include all the changes I wanted in the video. In addition to the DVD, he also provided all the raw video footage just in case we wanted to re-live our entire wedding again! We were very happy with the finished product. read more

We had a great experience with Eisen and his team. We felt very comfortable with them, and they worked hard to get awesome shots for our engagement shoot and wedding. I'm very happy with my photos and video, though they took a while to deliver, it was definitely worth it. The price was also a great deal, and they accommodated some of the extras we wanted in our video. Our wedding was in 2015. read more

See all

Wow. I couldn't be any happier with our SDE from Lumitone. Honestly, it was one of the best decisions we've made about our wedding. Alex and Eisen are really amazing at what they do. They are fun and comfortable to work with which can reflect on the video outcome. I gotta give props to the man behind the scenes who edited our SDE. Perfect timing with the music and everything! Nothing but good things to say about Lumitone. Not only do they produce a great, high-quality video, they also make it into a creative film that you can cherish for a lifetime. So if you're a prospective bride, look no further. Promise you won't be disappointed! Thanks so much you guys! :) read more

When I was wedding planning, I took a poll of my married friends, and many said that one of the things they regretted was not having a videographer...so that decided it for us. We got a great feeling from Alex when we first met with him. He was really friendly, professional and made us feel very comfortable. He had us watch a few wedding video samples in a room set up pretty much like a living room. It was as if we were sitting at a friend's house watching a video. We were impressed by the quality as well as the various styles they had as options. The day of the wedding I was extremely impressed by how little I noticed they were around. One of my pet peeves at weddings is when you notice the videographers and photographers all over the place getting in the way of everything. But not the Lumitone crew. I seriously barely noticed they were around, and I'm sure most brides and grooms would be very appreciative of that. Alex was extremely patient and open and flexible with us during the editing phase when we had comments and changes, and the final product did not disappoint! We have watched it over and over again, and so has my family. It's just so wonderful and amazing to be able to relive the day. Both my husband and I kept commenting on how happy we were to have the chance to see so much of what we missed out on that day. read more

Lumitone shot my December wedding, and I can't say enough great things about the whole team. The pictures turned out even better than I could have imagined. They captured such beautiful moments, and most importantly they are great at capturing candid moments which was one of the things I wanted most from my wedding pictures. The whole team was great on the day, and through the whole process. Eisen was always super responsive, helpful, and on-time with everything. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone, they did an amazing job and exceeded all my expectations. read more

Lumitone was refered to us by our photographer UltraSpective. Alex and his crew did an AMAZING job. The video was perfect. I am so happy that we went ahead and had a wedding video made. The outcome was super professional and of such a high quality. read more

Alex and his crew were amazing to work with. I can't even describe the magic they were able to capture. The SDE they created for us during the day is spectacular, we have had guests begging us to be able to watch it again and now that it's posted, people still can't stop talking about it. They did such a wonderful job, were so professional, and great to work with. I did months of research before going with Lumitone and I am so happy with my decision. No one else's videos seemed as professional as theirs. I am very very happy with the results. We also did a 3D slideshow which was amazing as well. You have to go with them, you won't be sorry! read more
