We hired Chris for our wedding which was originally supposed to happen in May. When we had to postpone due to covid, Chris was very nice and understanding about it. He had no problem switching to our new wedding date. Fast forward to August 9th, he captured every moment PERFECTLY. Our highlight reel and speech footage was ready within days of the wedding. He even surprised us with a drone shot! Chris and his assistant Brandon were both very professional. They were respectful of covid precautions and helped to live stream our wedding for guests who could not attend. They captured everything I wanted and more. Thank you for making our special day even more magical! read more

Highly recommended. Chris is the best. When I planned a very important birthday event for my best friend. I researched and decided to select Chris for this project. I have to say when selecting a service it's mostly luck and you trust that you selected a provider that produces quality service and someone you can work with. Chris is both. I know how important planning events and having the video to remember what happened is gold. It relives that special moment and brings all sorts of emotions. It's an intense process and you need someone who will be there to help you, before, during and after the event. Chris is someone I strongly recommend. He did such an awesome job that I truly felt lucky to have found him. Chris, thank you again and again. I super love your work. read more

We booked Chris for our wedding on the recommendation of a good friend and I'm so grateful to her for that. He was professional, responsive, and mindful in his shot choices and angles. You can tell when watching the video that he really cared about capturing our day. He also accommodated a time-lapse shot we really wanted. The video quality was fantastic but almost more importantly, the sound was spot on also. Our vows were clear and are laid out over our video and I love it. He, along with our photographers, ended up being the most important vendors we booked. At the last minute, my grandma was not able to travel for the wedding and thanks to Chris, it was like she was able to experience our day with us when she watched the video later. He captured all of the important moments, and even helped keep me on schedule by insisting that it was time for me to sit in the chair and get my lipstick on. He had to go get set up for our ceremony but wanted to make sure he captured all the important "getting ready" shots. If he hadn't done that, I'd have been late to my own wedding! We highly recommend Chris and Picture Perfect Studios to capture your wedding day memories. read more

I found this videographer through a mutual friend and I am really glad I went with them!! Chris was our videographer and he did a phenomenal job on our wedding videos, I highly recommend using him! We got married on the 15th and he had a minute long Instagram reel in less than a week as well as our ceremony/dances/speech video. We also just received our highlight video this week and our raw footage is almost loaded! He made everything very simple and is very accommodating. Watching our videos , he really did make sure the perfect shots were there in parts of our videos. Thank you so much !!! -Mr and Mrs Padilla read more

I feel really bad writing a negative review, but I wanted to share my experience honestly, especially since most reviews are positive, which wasn't my experience. We booked Chris to film our wedding, which was in April. After signing the contract, I started to worry with the lack of communication. All of my other vendors responded to me in a timely manner, but I had to send multiple emails over the span of several weeks to eventually get responses from Chris, which was frustrating as I was trying to plan a wedding long distance. The day of the wedding, Chris sent me a text in the morning saying he had gotten injured, and wouldn't be able to shoot my wedding, but that he'd arranged for a backup to be there to film it instead, which was nice to know it had been taken care of. That said, after the wedding, I waited a VERY long time to get my videos back. I sent several polite emails, across months with zero response, just asking for an ETA on when I'd get the videos back. Nothing. No response, no answer to phone calls, etc. I finally got a response from him in June, telling me I'd have my videos in 10-14 days. This email came because (before I had any issues with him) I recommended that a friend getting married in June book him too, so I saw him at her wedding and asked about timing for the videos. The 10-14 days came and went, again with no response to my communications with him. I finally got my videos back in August, with no explanation or apology, so I just felt like as a business professional, that really wasn't the right way to handle his response. The friend who also used him had similar experiences with lack of communication and a long time before getting her videos back. The quality of my videos was fine, but I can't say I'd recommend using this company for your videography unless you are someone who doesn't need regular communication, and are okay waiting several months for your videos back. read more

We hired Chris as our Wedding Videographer for our July 2021 wedding and communication was great up through the wedding. We received our Social Media Reel and Love Story Reel via text in October 2021 because his website apparently was experiencing issues. He assured us he would look into it and be sending us our Extended Reel the following day. After being patient and waiting, we still had not received the full ceremony/footage and Extended Reel when I followed up a month later in November. No response. Again, we waited...and proceeded to follow up another month later, as the holidays were approaching and we still had not received what was contractually promised and wanted to share the memories of our special day with our family and friends. We were (and still are) extremely frustrated and disappointed as we write this, as we STILL have not received our wedding footage and it is February 2022. We have consistently tried to contact Chris via email, phone, text, and DM and we have not heard from him since October 2021. This is highly unprofessional and appalling and we DO NOT recommend him. We've now consulted with our family attorney and are considering legal action as next steps, unfortunately. read more

Filmed chaka khan with him. Cool dude. Nice hair. Great videographer and great to go on canoe rides with- he went with me and got some great footage! Talented guy! read more

Chris and his team were the perfect choice for our wedding on NYE! I tried to book my vendors early because I was worried about the holiday. I found Chris through Thumbtack and booked pretty quickly. Chris was great with working with our budget and providing add-ons to us. I originally only wanted the full length of the ceremony but I changed my mind about 1000 times. Chris was able to work with me to determine the best options for my husband and I and at great prices. I had assumed that since Chris was who I had been coordinating with the entire time, that he would be the one doing the videography at my wedding. However, about 2 weeks prior to event he "matched" me with a videographer. I had Frank and he was great. The ONLY thing that I didn't like is that Frank brought a female with him. I don't know if it was his sister, girlfriend, a student or what but I wasn't expecting her. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to get upset unnecessarily on my big day. Luckily, we had plenty of food and space but had we been limited on the amount of guests then it would have been a problem. I just wasn't expecting him to bring anyone because we only paid for one videographer. We ended up getting a highlight reel (an instagram 1 minute teaser and then about a 6 minute highlight reel), a full length video of the ceremony and highlights of the reception. I was SO happy to receive the final video so quickly and I think I've watched it once per week since receiving it. They even filmed a special baby announcement for us since we found out we're expecting about 5 days before the wedding. Chris and his team were an excellent choice for our wedding and I am so thankful that we connected. I can't wait to recommend Picture Perfect Cinema to others. read more

This is an update to our last review which was at the beginning of the year. Though all of which was stated in the prior review was true, after the first review, Chris whole heartedly apologized and tried to complete the reels as contracted, which we truly appreciated since all we wanted was to have our wedding footage. Then unfortunately communication ceased again once the pandemic came around which was unfortunately on the day of our wedding anniversary, but after getting in touch with Chris again and having an honest and understanding conversation, the reels were completed and as a token of his appreciation, Chris made us a new reel highlighting my husand's vows to me, which I will cherish. We can understand that none of this was intentional and life just happened in this case, so please don't let it deter you from working with Chris. He's back in his rhythm of making meaningful reels for those life moments, and he genuinely does work with you to give you reels that you can be happy with. We wanted to update our review to explain what happened in our case and assure other couples that we just fell into the exception not the norm for this company. We're sorry we cannot give more than 3 stars, we thought about this for a while and to be true to ourselves we wanted to be honest about the whole experience, but still want to assure others that things can work out in the end. Also thank you to Chris for coming back and working to finish our reels, we know that especially during this time, things have been difficult and we appreciate him coming back to finish things amicably especially for something that is extremely precious and priceless to us. Take care and stay safe everyone. read more

I would recommend Chris to anyone looking for a videographer. He was so easy to work with, on top of his flexibility the quality of his work is amazing. When I received the final product from Chris, I almost cried because it was perfect! Not only was the final product perfect, but the turn-around time was super quick. Throughout the planning process, Chris made everything easy so it was one less thing to stress about, and on the day-of, he was punctual and professional. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and he was the perfect choice. read more

We came down to crunch time on our wedding vendors, and Chris at Picture Perfect Cinema was such a wonderful videographer find! Chris responded quickly without pressure, and was happy to answer questions and made us feel at ease about the process and what we could expect from him. On the morning of our ceremony, Chris was in an accident, and still grabbed a Lyft with all his gear while assuring me he would make it on time (and was!). Our Instagram and Highlight reels were so special, and both video and audio are great quality on the videos. read more

It was an absolute pleasure working with Chris, he made the entire experience so comfortable and was extremely friendly, and not to mention, the video came out beautiful, I'm so glad I have such an amazing video to go with our amazing day. We could not be happier. Thanks you so much Chris for everything. read more

Chris and Picture Perfect Cinema provide a top tier product. The final video for our business page is terrific and adds huge value to our marketing strategy. Chris's personality is professional with a blend of creativity which provides the perfect service for corporate videos. He is punctual and comes prepared. We provided him with an outline of our project with ideas; He added insight to the project from his experience and shot a video that met all of our needs. I now refer Picture Perfect Cinema to clients and colleagues who are looking for a professional, well done video. read more

Chris and his team at Picture Perfect Cinema did an outstanding job with my wedding video, both highlight and extended cut. My husband and I are so happy and impressed with their work. From beginning to end, Chris was professional, accommodating, and went above and beyond what our expectations were. They use the best quality equipment and it really shows in the end product. Chris edited our videos to truly capture the heart and soul of our wedding, even including our very heartfelt original vows in the highlight video; none of our friends/family can watch it without tearing up all over again, they really captured the moments! I will hands down recommend Picture Perfect Cinema to anyone needing wedding videography and I plan to use them for future projects as well! Thanks so much Chris for the memory of a lifetime, captured so beautifully!! read more

Chris was wonderful to work with and created an absolutely beautiful video of our wedding. He was extremely flexible working with my schedule and very accommodating throughout the entire process. I couldn't be happier with the final product and am so happy I chose him and his team to capture such an amazing memory. read more

There are not enough kind words to say about Picture Perfect Ciema! They did the most fantastic job. I hired another videographer who honestly was trying to screw me over. I found this company and saw their work, I called Chris immediately and everything worked out perfect! They are my knight and shinning armor of videography. Hands down one of the best decisions I made for my big day. I love reliving our special day. Their work is so beutifully done, you can't help but watch it over and over again!! If you really want a good company that produces great quality product, who doesn't break the bank and very professional this is the one you should pick! Chris and his team are amazing!!! They really want to make sure you are satisfied and happy with the final project. Great communication from start to finish. I just received my final product with the Teaser, Highlight, and Full movie it came in an adorable box. A lot of care and effort goes into everything they do. I will always recommend them to anyone I know who is getting married! They helped make my wedding day go very smooth, because when you hire people who truly care about their job it shows in their work :) read more

Christopher was wonderful to work with! Great personality, accommodating and professional. Captured our entire wedding from beginning to end, making the DVD so fun to watch over and over again. He also worked hand in hand with our orher vendors which made our lives so much easier on the day of. We highly recommmed Chris Calderon! read more

I can't thank Picture Perfect Cinema for such a beautiful & amazing video. They make you feel so comfortable & go beyond what I expected. Thanks for reminding me what a wonderful day it was, that I can watch over & over again & still cry each time I watch it. read more

Chris is one of the nicest and most genuine vendors that I spoke with during our search for a videographer. He was incredibly responsive and quick to get back to us whenever we had any questions. He was willing to work with us and our budget, and went out of his way to meet with us in person to show us sample work and develop a custom package. While we didn't ultimately book him because we ended up being gifted a videographer, we really liked his work and would have definitely chosen him to shoot our wedding. read more

The ease in which working with Chris was 10 out of 10. Chris was a friend of my wife's brothers so I was hesitant at first, cause friends and business isn't always the best recipe. In this case it was an absolute success. Chris and his staff made it so easy to work with, and they captured everything we asked for and more. I would give anybody asking for a videographer Picture Perfect Cinemas number 7 days a week no questions asked. Thank you again to Chris and his professional staff. read more

Chris produced very good videos of our wedding, matching exactly the style of video we wanted. We were trying to plan our wedding in California from Japan and he helped make the process very simple and easy. We will be able to remember our special day forever thanks to these videos! read more

Chris was such a wonderful person to work with us for our wedding. He sat with us to go over everything & to get a feel of us & how we wanted things captured. He worked with our schedule & was always friendly. He also had worked with our photographer previously, so on the wedding day they worked perfectly as a team. Chris was able to put our songs & fit it in the videos wonderfully! It was a great pleasure working with him! read more

You won't find a better Video Company for your Wedding or Event than Picture Perfect Cinema. My bride and I were blown away with the quality of our video. Chris incorporated all that we asked for and made these memories just that much better. The value for the money is off the charts. You would be making a mistake by not calling them and reserving them for your big date! read more

We received our trailer from our October wedding and my husband and I are completely blown away by the outstanding quality and attention to detail. Picture Perfect Cinema came to us by strong referral by our photographer (Kelly Balch Photography) and I'm so glad we decided on Chris! Their chemistry and coordination the day of the wedding made everything go so smoothly we hardly even noticed him filming in the background! He captured the best essence of what that day was all about and brought a lot of his expertise and experience to our particular production. The wedding coordination team had nothing but excellent things to say about him! Professional pre-planning consultations, easy to understand wedding agreements, pre-wedding preparation and excellent organizational skills. He has a great eye for editing and we are completely satisfied with his work. Don't make the mistake of foregoing the video/cinematographer. Hire Chris and his team at Picture Perfect Cinema! read more

Extremely professional and reliable! When you have a photographer and videographer at your wedding something you don't think of is that they are both trying to get the same shot and that could lead to some animosity between your two vendors. I was very impressed that Picture Perfect Cinemas immediately went over and introduced themselves to our photographer which made for an easy working environment. Our photographer was very thankful for their professionalism and made the day so easy. Our video is also amazing and is a great way to capture your special day. read more

Where do I event begin! Seriously, there aren't enough words to describe how thankful we are for our wedding video. Picture Perfect Cinema did such an amazing job and I love to watch our video over and over again. Chris and his team were absolutely incredible through the entire process and he answered every text and email I sent his way within hours. Just that alone helped ease the nerves. Everyone who has seen the video but couldn't make it to our wedding tell me that they felt like they were there with us on our special day. I'll definitely be using them in the future! read more
