    Sandra was so easy to work with. She was well prepared and even showed us how to pose for photos. All her photos turn out amazing!

    I never thought I'd look at an image of myself and think it was beautiful. I'm usually really…read moreuncomfortable when being photographed, but I felt so comfortable working with Shannon. She was able to help me with poses and caught the best angles. I can't stress the angles enough, she maneuvers the camera until she finds the shot and it makes all the difference. Her experience shines through in the way she manages her projects. I was able to work with Shannon on the Redefining Beauty project. She was able to come into my home, spot the best lighting, and create photogenic spaces that I wouldn't have thought would look good in photos... but somehow she made it happen and my photos came out AMAZING. I love how professional she was throughout the entire planning process. We had consultations prior and I was able to stay in contact afterwards. She even helped with planning the photo shoot concept. Honestly, she does way more than any other photographer I've ever worked with. When you hire Shannon you're not just hiring someone to take pictures, you're getting so much more. I received my edited photos quickly and on a cool online platform I can revisit anytime. The photos are beautifully edited and such a high quality. I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Shannon is an amazingly talented photographer who can make magic happen in any circumstance. I'm so grateful for the images I got of me and my daughter. I look forward to working with Shannon again!

    Shannon is truly such a rockstar photographer! We went with Shannon for our engagement & wedding…read morephotography and we are so glad that we did - one of the best decisions we made! We fell in LOVE with the romantic and moody style of her photography, and we were so incredibly happy with how our photos turned out. My husband and I aren't the most comfortable in front of a camera, but she made it so easy for us and also made us look so natural in photos :) She perfectly captured all the best moments of our day for us to look back to and we will treasure these for years to come. Shannon also helped with finalizing our wedding day schedule, gave us tips on what we can wear for our engagement shoot, single-handedly wrangled 100+ people for a massive family photo in a matter of minutes, and above all, so fun to be around all whilst being super professional! Shannon, thank you for traveling to our wedding location to capture our special day. We consider ourselves so incredibly lucky to have found the most perfect photographer for our day!

It's always nice to work with other vendors whom are flexible, easy going and professional. Looking forward to working with you again soon!

    I really really did not want to write this but even seeing the last post gave me some courage. If I…read morecan help someone not experience what I did, then I feel obligated. The latest review was exactly what I experienced. Shelly not even responding back after being paid in full is to me ridiculous. I am the customer, but yet I am the one calling and being ignored for a product or update. Im afraid to call and ask for what I paid for or even write this review because I really want the memories from my wedding. This is not something someone should ever feel as a customer who is paying for something so sentimental! No one should have to experience that and I would love to update my review to 5 stars if I ever receive a response and get the video I have paid for. I am not the only person who feels this and I know 2 others who are going through exactly this at this very moment! So my reception was February 2019. He said it's slow season and 2 months it should be done. Ok cool. The day of, I hear nothing and they show up with 2 camera guys and I had no issues there. Well, 2 months goes by and delay... ok cool. 3 months crickets and eventually he responds says his phone is lost and ask me what songs I want... which I'm like dude I gave that to you like 2 months ago so hmmm this makes me think you havent event started... now 4 months and I message maybe 1 time a week and he says ok we shall it by end of the month. Well... now end of month and again crickets. No surprise. Meanwhile, my friends are messaging me saying he taped their wedding back in Oct 2018 and they haven't heard from him or received a video. I told him to call them and he never did. She had to ping him repeatedly. Still she has no video. We all paid in full and honestly cannot help but to feel scammed and sad and frustrated. Honestly, if it took 6 months then I wish he would just say that and have our expectations there but he didnt. And now with 2 months to 5 months and hearing no responses back and having others reach out as well about this issue makes me nervous. Shelly I really wish you could atleast be responsive and just give us realistic timelines and just communicate. Your work seems amazing and I would love to see if.

    I am surprised EM doesn't have more reviews on here since they are always so busy with weddings,…read moreengagement, and family photo shoots! I can't thank them enough on what an INCREDIBLE job they did on both our engagement pictures and wedding. Cathy and Amy are so sweet and fun to work with and felt comfortable with them from the start. We received our wedding photos exactly 2 weeks after our wedding. Talk about quick! Most places take at least a month from what I have heard. Not only are they prompt but extremely professional and their work is perfect! I am so glad we made the switch to EM! Quality of photos were also great and we can't wait to have some canvas made! Dan also did our video and I will review once we receive but I know it will be just as perfect!! I will definitely recommend EM to anyone looking for a photographer and hope to use them again in the future when we plan to start our own family! Thank you again Cathy, Amy, and Dan!!

Now the hard part is picking a few that we want to hang on the walls... THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT OPTIONS! Our wedding would not have been the same without Echo media. They are quick and to the point, yet get the most spectacular photos and moments. WE hope to work with them again as our family grows in the future.

    Epic studios is absolutely amazing!…read more We almost did not have a video, but thankfully we listened to everyone that said we have to have one. I looked a ton of videos during the interview process and I was not impressed by anyone's work except for Epic Studios. I was tearing up in the videos and I didn't even know these people. As soon as I spoke to Victor I knew that he was the videographer for us. Day of: I live in LA so Victor and I never met in person until the day of the wedding. He came in my room with his crew and introduced himself. My first impression was that he was genuine. That is one thing that I look for in people especially people that I hired for my wedding. He had 3 people in his crew (including himself). I also hired a photographer who had an assistant. You would think 5 people documenting your wedding is overwhelming and feels like a reality show. To be honest, Epic Studios was amazing and I didn't even notice that they were there. That is how it should feel in order to get your natural self :) Video Teaser: I just received my video teaser and am in LOVE. It made our family and friends tear up. Everyone was amazed with Epic Studios talent to re-capture the day and feel like you were there again. Overall: Epic Studios care about their clients. They also make sure to put their best work out. They love what they do and it shows. Do NOT skim on videographer or photographer. You get what you pay for. Epic Studios is hands down the best videographer! *Will update this once I get the feature film.

    All I can say is wow!! I was referred to Victor of epic studios by another commercial artist who…read morecontracted him to do a feature film for him. I then contacted Victor, we discussed the project and I also contracted him for a feature film. I just received the teaser sneak peek, and I am on the floor! This man is not only brilliant he is professional, he is Professional, he is approachable, he is dependable, he is loyal and just artistic as you can imagine. I am over-the-top thrilled with what I have seen so far and I cant wait for the full feature but am thoroughly intrigued as is my entire crew!! I highly recommend him for any video feature film either fashion editorial wedding or commercial truly you are in good hands this man is an artist to say the least and so pleasant to work with! I look forward to contracting him for future work! Look at his site and you too will LOVE his dedication to Motion Pictures and Cinematic work at its finest! Thank you Victor....I can type but I'm literally speechless. The team and I thank you!!!!

    I cannot say enough good things about this team. It started with the interview a full year before…read moremy wedding. My husband looked at me and said that I want them there with us! They did the videography for our wedding and it was so beautiful. The craftsmanship was incredible. People who didn't attend our wedding -- watch the video and they are instantly in tears. When they say storytellers... they truly tell the story of your love. They not only met the timelines in the contract, and they actually beat the timeline! They were so kind and warm when we together on our day. They were our right hands and left hands all at once. They truly made our day worry free. They were incredibly flexible and accommodating. It isn't every day that the power goes out in the middle of your wedding!

They are beyond amazing, especially Jefferson and Margaret. They are exceptional!!! They're not just photographers and videographers; they truly care about us and are very detail-oriented when it comes to capturing every bit of our special moments during our engagement photo shoot and our wedding. My husband and I weren't used to posing for photos. But they have been so helpful in guiding us on what to do and they always hyped us up when taking photos. This made us feel really good and confident.The planning and timeline were executed well and they delivered us great quality footage! We got the Hybrid Photo & Video Package and it was totally worth it! The price was reasonable and they provided exceptional services. We highly recommend Sumagang Films! Every time we have big events coming up, we will definitely go to them! Thank you so much Margaret and Jefferson! We love you guys!

    Do not hire Blue Lotus Films for your filming needs!!…read more I hired Blue Lotus Films to make a professionally edited film of a live performance I created. The quality of the film they created was beyond unprofessional. Sarah, the lead of this company, even admitted to me in emails that some of the footage from the videographers she subcontracted was below professional standards. To name a few issues with the video: -whole parts of songs are cut off -bows and speech at the end are missing -there is shaky footage throughout whole video where it jumps off the stage and into audience, audience's heads cutting off what's happening on stage (one of the videographers was videoing "hand-held" instead of on a steady tripod) -there are misaligned end credits with incorrect titles (e.g. "production" instead of "cast) -there are black spots in the video where it goes blank -the sound file was misaligned with video in certain parts -different color/lighting from the 2 cameras that were being used (one is dull and one is bright) -there are missing key parts of the show that I requested ahead of time to capture (both on the phone and in writing) - because of this lack of following direction, there was only 1 camera shooting for about a third of the show. -corrupted files which meant that end of show was completely cut off. After all this, I requested a refund, as the footage was completely unusable, and Sarah refused. Terrible business ethics. If you want a professional video and to work with someone ethical, find another company.

    Sarah is an awesome videographer and even more amazing person!…read more We worked a couple of times on different projects and she is easy to work with which makes it an overall great experience! Reasonable prices and excellent quality work! I highly recommend!
