I have so much to say. Long story short, so much more than you expect, including top of the line technology and in depth wedding filming.
We hired Joey and his team, including his brother who is a DJ (Audio Zone Productions), for our wedding at 53 By The Sea in the winter. We initially won free head table uplighting from a drawing at the wedding expo. What caught our attention was the drone (because at the time not all videographers had one), and after doing some research on vimeo, we found some people we knew who gave us a great recommendation! We had preshoots/filming, day of wedding prep filming, ceremony filming, reception filming, and the DJ.
Joey did so much more than we expected from a wedding videographer. He was so excited to be our videographer and kept telling us we have, "The wedding of the year!" (lol). I honestly expected to do a 1-hour pre-filmof just us sitting and being interviewed and that's all. We did a number of pre-films with lots of directing. He was so excited to set up all his great ideas. One of the shoots was completely unexpected during one of our venue walkthroughs and meet-and-greets for our vendors to intermingle. He was ready to go! We showed him the area we wanted projection and thought it would be difficult to project there, but the projectors themselves were high tech and were able to shoot at an angle. When we left, he stayed behind to see what our outdoor uplighting would look like and said he wanted to film a timelapse of the clouds passing by and the sunset over 53. They even came to our rehearsal the day before to know where we would be and practiced with us.
We did tons of preplanning (with Joey's direction because we wouldn't have known any better) which gave us even more assurance that he would be ready for the day of. He worked with our event planner and everything was great. Our set up included all the DJ equipment, full venue uplighting (53 by The Sea takes a lot to uplight...), multiple videographers, projection, etc.. I don't know what I missed. We had a slideshow/video/first dance/all-in-one entrance which they pulled off amazingly! There was even a surprise song from my husband and they pulled off a sneaky sound check pretending our MC was in the restroom or something LOL.
Our wedding was "fairytale" themed. We got engaged and Disneyland, and Joey went to Disneyland to film and included it in our video! It was such a surprise because we didn't ask him to it at all and we love Disneyland so much.
Joey and his team are super cool and hip (lol). Very easy to work with and communicate with. Texting, emailing, FB and IG messaging, etc. We got along very well, and we very much recommend this team! They go above and beyond, are very creative, and put in the time for effort and quality! read more
