We had MCJ (Jennifer) do the videography for our wedding and she is simply amazing. She is professional, friendly, funny, and super talented. You will be sure to get a hip, modern video with MCJ, complete with your favorite music of today... its definitely not the same ol' boring and tacky wedding videos of the past. MCJ will make your wedding look like a movie! We loved our video and were extremely pleased with the content that made it into the video as well as Jennifer's special editing touches. She has an artistic eye which is hard to find with wedding videographers these days. Thanks MCJ!!! read more

I highly recommend MCJ Impressions to anyone who is on the search to find the perfect videographers. Jennifer and Andrew are very talented individuals with excellent people skills! They were punctual, accommodating, and very professional. It was so fun working with them and they make their hard work look so easy!! Thank you Jennifer and Andrew from MCJ for shooting our proposal video!! I will never forget the night my boyfriend of six years asked me to marry him, thanks to you guys! You've captured one of the most exciting moments of our lives on video, and now my fiancé and I can always relive the night we got engaged. We would like to express our appreciation to you for making our engagement an unforgettable experience. Our proposal video turned out perfect and exceeded all of our expectations!! Thank you so much for bringing back great memories through your work. Your outstanding video production has engraved a permanent memory in our hearts, and we cannot thank you enough. Nothing but compliments to Jennifer and Andrew- you guys are truly artists at work. read more

Doing business with MCJ, Melanie, Charlene and Jennifer was a pleasure. They contacted me to create a bouquet for a Yosemite photo shoot, and every detail was handled in a friendly and business like manner. I would recommend their business to everyone. They do beautiful and exceptional work. read more

My husband and I hired MCJ as our videographer for our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier with their work. They were awesome at promptly responding to the many emails I send their way & they welcomed any & all questions. They made what we envision a reality. They also have an artistic flair that made watching our video even more enjoyable. They were on time & incredible at capturing all the special moments while continuing to make it feel stress free. Our only regret was not hiring them as our photographers. - The Labrador's read more

We used Mel for our wine country engagement session. We had so much fun! She was patient with us, wasn't afraid to tell us how to pose or make adjustments, and was so quick to get us our digital proofs. We even had our yorkie-poo dog Rocky join in on some shots and got some cute ones that captured all of our personalities. With so many great photos it was hard to decide which one to use for our save the dates. We have booked MCJ Impressions for our videography. I will update after the wedding :) read more

I rarely write reviews, but like someone else said I found MCJ on Yelp and know how crucial reputation is for businesses these days. So I think I owe it to them! :) We contacted a LOT of photographers / videographers in the months leading up to our wedding. We looked at their portfolios really hard before determining our favorites. MCJ definitely stood out; they have a great style of photography / videography that we just loved and thought it was a beautiful representation of peoples memorable days! After contacting MCJ we found that they were one of the cheapest in terms of pricing too (our other favorite was at least twice their price). They also offered convenient packages that meant we could pick the one best suited to what we wanted covered. Before the wedding, MCJ sent out a questionnaire asking about our favorite songs, names of people in the parties etc. They also asked about any particular photographs that we wanted (either of people or location). They were also super friendly. We live on Catalina Island so never actually met MCJ before the big day (I think they were the only vendor we didn't meet), but we didnt' feel that we had to since their communication was excellent, they were happy to answer any questions we had, they had a great reputation on Yelp and their portfolio was stunning. On the day of, we decided we wanted to go down to the beach to have some photograph's taken with our bridal party. First of all, we were getting married in Huntington Beach (those beaches are a long distance to the water) and secondly, we were getting married on a Saturday in August. So you can imagine the crowds of sunbathers / surfers on the beach. I'd imagine most photographers would turn around and say forget it, but MCJ battled through it with us and made it work. And the photograph's turned out great! Overall, we were beyond impressed with MCJ Impressions. We also had so many guests comment to us afterwards how professional they were, then we heard horror stories from wedding photographs they've had or have encountered. They were all super friendly too - so down to earth and so calm (which is so important on your big day!) We have nothing but good things to say about MCJ. Every photo we got back we love, and the video trailer and long video are beautiful keepsakes that we can treasure forever (on another note, my husband really didn't want to pay out for a video, but now we have it he say's he's so glad we had it done - the day honestly goes by so quickly that you forget everything that happened, it's such a valuable piece to keep forever more!). Thank you again, MCJ! read more

I have said it before, and I will say it again. If I had to choose just one vendor for my wedding it would be MCJ impressions. They are true artists that can make even the most mundane things look illuminated and amazing. The staff are not only professional but worked so hard to capture every little moment of our untraditional wedding. If you are a bride, just book them ASAP and move on to the next thing on your list because your videography/photography needs WILL BE MET beyond your expectations! read more

I hired MCJ Impressions for their videography services for my recent wedding this past January. With extensive research and vendor evaluation, I concluded that there were a number of qualities I was looking for in a wedding videographer, but they were primarily 1) competitive pricing, 2) movie style cinematography, and 3) same-day-edit capability. If you don't know what a same-day-edit is, it's basically ongoing editing of the day's video footage in realtime, so that by the time your reception begins, the video of the day's events can be shown to your guests, and it is crafted much like a music video. I am very happy to say that MCJ Impressions delivered on all of the above-stated expecataions and in many ways exceeded them. I worked directly with their chief videographer Jennifer, who was very pleasant to work with and was able to take my feedback regarding cinematic styling and musical preferences to incorporate into the final results. And the results -- nothing short of amazing. The same-day-edit video in particular was a tremendous hit with our guests, as they were amazed to see various clips and highlights of the day's events that happened just a few hours to a few moments before. The videographers were equipped with the latest SLR cameras capable of HD video, and they utilized several interchangeable lenses throughout the day to achieve the necessary depth-of-field effects that characterize movie cinematography as opposed to boring documentary style video. I think my friend summed it up best when he said, "Wow. Just wow. I swear you guys looked like movie stars!" We received extensive positive feedback from our friends and relatives, and many inquiries about who we hired to take these awesome videos. About eight weeks after the wedding, we received the fully edited video footage in a nicely packaged DVD, which contained highlights of the preparation activities and ceremony, and more detailed footage of the reception, and again the editing was of excellent cinematic quality. Much of the editing was done music video style which was very entertaining. I think what we received beautifully captured the events of the day, and now we have a wonderful keepsake that will preserve the memories for a lifetime. And all of this was done with a very reasonable and competitive pricing package. I would not hesitate to hire MCJ Impressions again for our future cinematography needs! read more

Thank goodness I found MCJ Impressions! Jennifer did the videography for my wedding and she is fantastic. She put me at ease throughout the whole process and was really accommodating with my requests. She also made sure to scope out the venue beforehand to get a handle on the structure, lighting and all the other things videographers need to know. On the wedding day, Jennifer and her assistants arrived early and went straight to work. I knew I was in good hands the moment they showed up. read more

Love Love Love. This team was so great and hardworking. They are passionate about what they do and it really is displayed in the quality of their videos. At first, I was hesitant about hiring a wedding videographer but I am so glad my husband convinced me to go with MCJ! :) read more

I've have the pleasure of working with MCJ impressions on a beautiful multicultural wedding. Jennifer did one of the best same day edits for the B&G that I have ever seen. The couple and guests absolutely loved it! Jennifer and her team are the best and kindest professionals in the biz. I highly recommend them. read more

We hired MCJ Impressions for our recent wedding this past June. I'm glad we chose them to do our pictures and videography for our wedding. Our pictures came out great and our wedding trailer was phenomenal. Made my wife and I want to re-live our wedding day once again. MCJ was on it throughout the whole process. Thank you so much for all your help and hard work!!! Can't wait to see the video! :) read more

If I could rate these women more stars i would! We hired them to video tape our wedding and the experience was amazing!! They came all the way from cali to do our las vegas wedding and they were so fun, easy going, and professional. Our guests keep complementing the work they did for the same day edit they showed during our reception, and of course it made me cry! Prior to them capturing our video for the wedding i would occasionally have questions andI would either email or text it to them and their response was always quick and always professional. I love these women!! They are amazing! My husband and I are beyond happy to have hired them to capture our special moments. Thank you ladies! read more

I found MCJ Impressions on Yelp so it was only fitting to leave a review for them here! I was looking for a videographer that serviced the Redlands area with an aesthetic that fit my style. I liked what I saw in the reviews and decided to check out their website. Little did I know that I went to college with one of the sisters (hi Charlene!). We emailed back & forth and decided to meet up. Their personalities were fun and I could tell they understood our style. And since the sisters did video & photo it was an easy decision to book them for both. It would be a seamless partnership and I loved their style for photo + video after watching a few trailers. They offered a discount when booking together and every little bit of savings makes a difference when planning a wedding. The prices were affordable and comparable to other vendors we researched. Plus, they had done weddings at the Mitten Building before and that was a major perk. The lighting can be an issue in the building and they would already be familiar with everything. We completed a very thorough questionnaire for MCJ and updated things as it got closer. It was easy to get in touch with the girls and worked with Charlene most of the time before the wedding. On the wedding day this little army of ladies showed up to capture every single minute of our big day. They were fun to work with, made everything simple and did an amazing job. The girls completely exceeded my expectations and I hope they enjoyed the day with us. We laughed the whole time and I loved watching the wedding trailer because they captured all those little moments. Our friends & family thought the trailer was beautiful and we have watched it numerous times since receiving it. The pictures are beautiful and they gave me 500+ options to choose from. It was easy to download the prints and share with our vendors. I appreciate all the little details and the ease of working with them from start to finish. Some friends who recently got married haven't had the best time with theirs so we feel even more lucky to find MCJ Impressions! Yesterday our wedding video & photo disc arrived and the packaging was beautiful. They included a custom designed case that looks beautiful displayed on a coffee table or shelf. They also included a custom magnet with our names & wedding date and a handwritten note. The video was set up like a movie and was a huge surprise! I had no idea it would look that way and I cried very happy tears while watching our wedding all over again. I expected hours of raw footage and that special details they added were appreciated. I can't imagine how long it took to edit all the photos and videos and turn it into such a beautiful package. I highly, highly recommend hiring MCJ for your photo and/or video needs. They're an amazing team and exceeded expectations time and time again. They're creative, understanding, incredibly talented and all-around FUN, which was a must-have for me. Thank you MCJ for making our big day so magical and capturing the memories for us to share again and again. read more

My husband and I hired MCJ impressions for our wedding on 9/21/2014. If I have any advice for any couples that are planning a wedding now, it's for you to hire MCJ Impressions!!! I was hesitant about hiring a videographer for our wedding due to the prices, but I am sooooooo glad that I did. Pictures can only capture so much....video captures everything. Not only is MCJ Impressions' prices competitive, but the quality of their work is absolutely amazing!!! When my husband and I first met with Jennifer and her sister Charlene, we loved them right away. They are so personable, professional, likeable, and a pleasure to work with. On the day of our wedding, they were so fun to work with. Half the time we didn't even know they were there. They captured every special moment of our special day. Jennifer's quality of work is stunning! We received our wedding trailer video a month after our wedding, and it not only had me in tears, but all of my friends and family. We just received our whole wedding video last week and I've already watched it 3 times. This video is something that I will cherish for all my years of my life and will show it to my future children and grandchildren. Pictures can't capture even half of what video captures. This was the best investment we made for our wedding. MCJ Impressions is a must!!!! You will not regret hiring them!!! Thank you Jennifer for the best memorabilia ever!!!!!! read more

I was scrambling for a photographer and videographer for my daughter's wedding (March 2012). And I remembered my aunt's recent renewal of vows celebration being covered by MCJ Impressions. I wasn't quite sure they'd still be available, after all, the wedding was only 2 weeks away! After reviewing at least 10 companies, I went with MCJ Impressions and I was just impressed. Their rates are very reasonable, they had great service and was very accommodating with my questions via text, phone, and/or email. Jennifer kept in close contact with me. The crew arrived as agreed, very friendly, moved around and did their thing so non-invasively. It was a "small" gathering of multi cultural families (filipino, samoan, caucasian, mexican to name a few), Jen and Melanie and team seemed comfortable and made everyone comfortable as well. It was evident in their pictures and video that they were able to really get into the action yet not be invasive to the normal on goings (preparation, ceremony, etc). My (and my newly extended) family was letting me know how impressed they were from the proofs, they couldn't wait for the final product!! And we were not disappointed, the package came with the photo book and the disc book with the photos and videos. The presentation and the final product was just remarkable! Their attention to detail, composition style, quality, rates and service makes them top notch! Keep it up guys! Will definitely call you guys again to capture the memories of our next important celebration!! I highly recommend MCJ Impressions! read more
