We did not want my Dad to miss the event, and we were referred to this production company by our DJ and hired them to film the full day. What we received in terms of service and product was just beyond spectacular. These guys are incredible professionals and I felt so taken care of the entire 13+ hour day. By far, this was the highlight vendor experience of the day. I only wish I had found them sooner for all of our other big events! Big thank you to Andy and Dan for being consummate professionals!! They are sensitive, extremely professional, and just extremely knowledgeable and great at what they do. The completed videos they sent over made me cry in pure pride and relief - totally stunning!!!

Blue Productions does terrific work, but be prepared for taking 6 months or longer to receive your…read moreDVD. It is written in the fine print on the contract. Even though most other providers take 4 to 6 weeks, Andy requires 6 months for delivery. When I asked about this, Andy said they were busy. It really should not take 6 months to produce a Bar Mitzvah video. He did produce a 5 minute quick capture for me so my mother could see it before she passed away, which I appreciated. The feedback from other professional video companies I have worked with all agree that 6 months is way too long for a personal DVD production. Our professionally produced videos are always done in a month or less. Andy needs to properly resource his company to deliver in more reasonable times. His prices are reasonable and comparable to other companies. He was very good to work with during the event, has a great personality and is familiar with Bar Mitzvah settings. So if you're looking for quality, Andy does great work. But be prepared to take a extremely long time before you get the final delivery. Ask yourself if you are willing to atleast 6 months after the event to receive the DVD.

Mario is a true professional who is passionate about his craft. He took the time to listen, ask important questions, and offered creative suggestions regarding our wedding video. Throughout the entire process, Mario was communicative, responsive, and a joy to work with. On the day of our wedding, Mario arrived early and was ready to go. He captured every moment of our special day with care and attention to detail, from getting ready to the fun dance floor moments. The final product was stunning - Mario had managed to create a beautiful, cinematic trailer and short film that blew us away. I can't recommend Frame Story Studios highly enough. Their talent, professionalism, and passion for videography truly shines through in their work. If you're looking for a videographer who will capture your special moments with care and creativity, this is the way to go.

My husband and I found Mario and Fran on WeddingWire and loved the work they did. Upon meeting…read morethem, they were super sweet, personable, and meticulously took notes on our preferences and questions/comments that we had, which I really appreciated. I also loved that they're a husband/wife duo so that they understand the different shots that are important to both the bride and groom, and there's always a male plus a female perspective. One thing that really stood out to me was that they had asked to tag along to our venue for our final consult so that they could scope out the venue and the possible shots. Though they hadn't been to Willow Heights Mansion prior to shooting our videos, I loved that they went above and beyond to make sure they could do the best job possible! They were great on our wedding day and jived well with the photography crew, including hopping over some fences and walking through a vineyard to get some footage away from the mansion! Fast forward after our wedding, we received an email about 8 weeks post-wedding saying our videos were ready! Our video gallery came with a 6-8 minute feature film, a video of the ceremony+vows, a video of all the dinner speeches, and a sneak peak clip. We were extremely happy with the results and loved the footage Mario & Fran took with the music they chose and the seamless transitions. Initially we were concerned that the noisy wind would interfere as our ceremony took place on top of a hill, but it was not an issue at all. Above all, Mario & Fran's prices are extremely reasonable! I came across videographers throughout the Bay Area that were almost double the price of their prices, but I couldn't be happier with how my videos turned out. Ultimately it's important to choose a videographer that showcases the style you're looking for, but Mario & Fran are definitely accommodating towards their clients!

Echoing my friend Cindy L, yes, this team is FABULOUSSSSSSSS and FASTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…read more I met Michael in 2009, and I knew he and his team would be my wedding photographer and cinematographer one day when I tie the knot. In 2010, I introduced my start-up company in Redwood City to Michael and his team to do an IoT video and they loved his work. The animation was pure genius and story line was so easy to comprehend. In 2014, I introduced my best friend, Cindy L, to Michael and his team, for her wedding, and she and her husband absolutely fell in love with Capture the Love photos and cinematography. Fast forward to 2016. When my NOW husband and I booked Nestldown for our wedding venue in 2016, I knew IMMEDIATELY who I would have as my photographer and cinematographer--the wonderful Capture the Love team!!! I did not even shop around. Right after we signed the contract with Nestldown, I immediately called Michael Soo and made sure we reserve him for Fall 2017 before another couple snatch him from us. Michael and his team come at a price, but you SERIOUSLY pay for what you get. I honestly don't know any team who work as fast as this team. We took our engagement photos and finished around 5pm and within 3 hours, we received sneak previews, and by 9pm, we received all our photos! We had our wedding on Saturday, which ended at 10pm, and by midnight, we received 2 sneak previews!!!! On Tuesday (yes less than 72 hours later), we received another 20 photos!!!! He informed us that all the photos will be ready by Friday afternoon (less than 7 days from our wedding!!) ! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY, no one works this fast, except this fabulous team. I keep looking at the 20+ photos and I am still floating on cloud 9 and reliving every moment of our wedding day. On the day of our wedding, the team showed up early, which was SOOOO MUCH appreciative, so they could ensure they were able to capture every little minute detail. They always had a smile on their faces, even when they have to deal with crazy family members and vendors who get in the way of the shots. I looked in the corner of my eye and I was personally annoyed certain ppl/kids were in the shot, but the team was very professional and never yelled or had a frown on their faces. This definitely helps keep the bride calm. I never doubted this team and trusted them whenever they told us to go here and there, and do this and that pose. I told them, "tell us what to do and we will do it!" I can't wait to see all the photos and the cinematography so I can relive one of the best days of my life! When you ask former brides and grooms for wedding planning tips, they always say, "spend money on your photography and cinematography!!!" Best advice ever since you get to keep these photos and videos forever compared to florals which will last no more than a few days! Thank you so much Capture the Love!! Money well spent!!! I highly recommend if you're in the market for photography or/and cinematography!!!

Coco is awesome!!!!!!!!!!…read more When we were researching wedding photographers, they all fell into three basic groups: Expensive+Awesome, Expensive+Boring, and Cheap+Boring. All except for Martinography! There's a whole new category of one: SuperAffordable+SuperAwesome. I am so sick of standard wedding photos. Boring colors, boring lines of people, and HOURS of boring standing around getting paired up with different combinations of the wedding party. Boo! I wanted tons of color, creative poses, and candid shots. Coco brought it! I knew she was special as soon as I saw the pix on her website, but it was fantastic to meet with her in person and look through her fun portfolio. A previous reviewer wrote here that "When Coco and I met, I instantly like her--I think its hard not to be magnetized to her passion and zest for life". That captures her in a nutshell. I'm going to make the same joke here that I made the whole time we were engaged: if I hadn't married Annie, I'm pretty sure she would have married Coco! Everyone at our wedding who met her told us what a delight she was, which is important. Photographers can be invisible or fun or both, but you don't want people telling you how off-putting or bossy or unpleasant your wedding photographer was to them. No worries here! She even took some videos with her camera, which I forgot was a possibility. Or maybe I just wasn't paying that much attention when we met because I had already made my decision. It was an incredible blessing though, because we had the most awesome wedding dance ever - we rickrolled the entire wedding, live - and the people who were going to record it had to leave early. And then it appeared on our wedding photo cds, along with video footage of our opening and closing and vows. (Clearly not as important as the DANCE....) Coco should be charging three times what she charges. We paid (ok, my mom paid as her gift) something around $400 for what was supposed to be three hours if I remember correctly, and Coco even stayed longer out of the goodness of her heart to capture our dance. But I didn't want to tell her she should raise her rates till after we paid! She has a day job in Silicon Valley and does the photography because she loves it so much. Why not just do what you love, is what I say! (I suppose she must love her day job too, but it's hard to imagine her in an office.) Magnificent! I am so glad that I found her through Yelp forums and so glad that we chose her.

Looking for a photographer to capture your big moments, who makes you feel comfortable and beyond…read moreeasy to work with ? You have to work with Toanven Photography because you will not regret it at all and get everything you want and more!! Toan and team are the absolute very best - worked directly with Toan, Martin, Trieu, and Michael and all very professional and super easy to get along with! We used Toanven photography for our engagement photoshoot / pre wedding , church wedding ceremony at St.Jarlath Catholic Church and civil wedding at Nella terra cellars. Also used their videography services which was also really great. When looking for a photographer , we wanted to make sure that our photographer is easy going, can help guide us and has experience with our venue. I discovered Toanven photography because my best friend used their services for her wedding and after finding out Toan had lots of experience at Nella Terra we knew we had to meet him. On our first zoom call Toan was beyond welcoming and excited which made us excited. He made us laugh, made us comfortable and answered all of our questions and broke down the whole process. Before the wedding Toan helped us better plan our timeline for photos and took his time to understand what were the "must have photos". He gave us alternatives on how we can still get pictures with others and saving time. His advice on a family shot list was super helpful as well. On wedding day Toan was just the person I needed around me with all the craziness of wedding day. His personality bring calmness and he is quick to think if a photo location doesn't work well for the lighting - he found better positioning and areas for the photos the look flawless. Beyond helpful when it came to posing, how to stand , where to look and capture all the right angles. Lastly, Depending on the package you go for, you will get a set number of edits photos and our photos were so amazing it was hard to reach the number of edits we can use. That says a lot about how the quality of the photos are and how they already shine! So reach out to Toanven photography, I promise you will love every moment!

Came through his studio by Branham & Almaden and instantly felt like I was in good hands. Super chill, calm, and professional -- no ego, just pure passion for what he does. He's insanely dialed in with angles, lighting, and composition. The way he sets up shots and makes small adjustments shows how much detail he pays attention to. Nothing feels rushed, everything feels intentional. What really stands out is how comfortable he makes you feel in front of the camera. He gives clear direction without overdoing it, and somehow brings out your best look naturally. His eye for detail is next level -- from posture to shadows to background, he doesn't miss. You can tell he's someone who takes pride in his work and actually cares about delivering high-quality results, not just "getting the shot." The final photos came out clean, sharp, and professional -- honestly exceeded expectations. If you want someone who's skilled, patient, creative, and genuinely invested in making you look good, Toanvenphotography is it. Bay Area hidden gem for sure. Highly recommend.

Having worked with…read moremany photographers over the years through my work in Marketing, I spent a good amount of time sifting through many portfolio's before I selected Vijay. Vijay is a consummate professional, super easy to schedule and requires very little direction. He is personable, patient and thoughtful. He did a pre-engagement shoot at Filoli Gardens. My son and his fiancee were gave raving reviews for him. Looks like Vijay was fun, gave clear instructions and good tips throughout the shoot. I was amazed at the cheerful disposition with which my son came back from the photoshoot, considering he doesn't exactly like being photographed:) That should give you an idea of how easy it is to connect with Vijay. The engagement function was a bit challenging since we had over 150 people and groups were wanting to be photographed with the couple throughout the event; Vijay organized groups with ease, set up his shots and did it efficiently, managing to photograph all our guests. Vijay delivered the photographs from both the shoots very quickly. The results were outstanding. The shoot at Filoli was absolutely stunning! Overall classy, well composed shots, great locations, beautiful angles, excellent work with bright and low lighting, it was truly a joy to see what he was able to produce from each shoot. We will definitely reach out to Vijay when we have an event again, and I highly recommend working with him! One tip I'd like to share for host families, if you have a large group, put a shot list together and assign a friend to get through the shot list, this way you ensure you get all important family and group pics.

Many months before the wedding, I searched for videographers and wedding video packages that suited our taste, where we wanted candid, yet dreamy/fairytale shots of our day, along with videos of our ceremonies (tea ceremony & Western ceremony), all while being within a certain budget. After sending in quotes and meeting with some videographers, it was a challenge to find the one that really matched what we needed. Luckily, I got in touch with Tri Luu Films through one of the wedding sites that recommended him, and saw some of his work on Vimeo, including a wedding short that was at the venue we were getting married at. Tri was such a pleasure to work with from the get-go. He met with us to talk about our ideal style and "must captures," and knowing that he was familiar with our venue in San Jose as well as having experience with capturing tea ceremonies is really what sold us. They were even onboard when I mentioned that I would be surprising the bride with a musical performance during the reception, and were able to capture that. On the day of, Tri Luu and his team were fantastic - incredibly professional, kind, and understanding of timeline shifts. Something I really appreciated was that they know when it's appropriate to step-in and give advice on good video shots versus when to be more in the background and let the photographers do their thing. Our wedding video package included a trailer, wedding short, and a documentary. The trailer was great and made me hyped to see the rest of the filming, and it also got to us less than three weeks from the wedding! The wedding short film I liked because it included some short lines from vows, speeches, dances, and ceremonies and various snippets from the wedding. The documentary, though, was definitely what I was waiting for - over an hour of great footage, edited chronologically for us to relive the best day of my life. I could tell it was done with great care because everything flowed well, there were transitions showing off the venue where the next part of the wedding was at, and the background music was perfect. Couldn't be more impressed with Tri Luu Films, and I wholeheartedly recommend Tri to anyone needing a wedding videographer!
