I cannot recommend The Forefront Media enough! Filmmaker and photographer David Lin, along with his wife Jessica, provided exceptional quality and professionalism. David came to our senior community to film our summer luau, which turned out to be a much larger event than we anticipated. The video he captured far exceeded our expectations--the quality was so impressive, it felt like watching a commercial or a short film you'd see on TV. It couldn't have been better! Whether you're looking for a photo shoot or a video for a special event, The Forefront Media is hands down the best choice. David and Jessica are absolutely amazing to work with and the epitome of true professionals. Five stars all the way! We're already excited to use them for our next event and have even scheduled a photo shoot for all of our managers. read more

Jessica did a terrific job with my little 10 month old baby! She's the baby whisperer! He was a bit grumpy because he woke up late and didn't eat a full breakfast, but she got some great shots of him during our mini session - and their studio space is really great and creative and I loved it. As a bonus, her husband David was there bumping Baby Shark through their big speakers (with the screen on to get the little guy's attention!) and they had a nice sitting area and changing area too. They had a little space heater near the photo area too, and TONS of cute props. Super professional, super fun, great photos and quick turnaround! If I could give more stars I would! read more

My experience with The ForeFront Media was AMAZING, not to mention how beautiful the film and pictures came out. Jessica and David were so professional, punctual, and friendly. I can't express how thankful I am for capturing those special moments for us. Our videographer David did a fantastic job with everything, from filming special moments my kids were having with family members before the event. On the other hand, I LOVED how Jessica had great suggestions on where to take pictures. Thank you both so much for your services! I highly recommend them! No doubt I will contact them again later in the future :) read more

I learned about The ForeFront Media when I went to a bridal show in January 2020. I got a free engagement session with them from the bridal show. My husband and I originally booked Jessica and David for our Wedding for January 2021. However due to pandemic we had to push our wedding to end of 2021. During the process they were communicative and very accommodating. Lovely couple to work with. They're very professional and skilled. They are prompt with replying to our emails. Thank you for capturing our day! read more

We needed a professional photos for our newly owned flooring business and Jessica did an amazing job bringing out together the classic look and yet professional for our business profile. The pricing is reasonable I'm lucky being part of Forefront's circle of friends. read more

Jessica is an AMAZING photographer and such a wonderful person! We did an Easter-mini session and a 1st Birthday cake smash/bath shoot and the photos are BEAUTIFUL. She is so creative, has the cutest props, thinks of all the details and is so patient and fun with the little ones. She's the total package and so easy to work with. Now stop reading and BOOK HER! read more

Jessica and her husband did such a great job with our holiday pictures. We have a rambunctious 2 year old toddler, so photos are not easy to take. Jessica recommended we do an outdoor shoot and the pictures came out perfect! We also brought our dog. I was thinking of getting some photos of him myself and just add it to the holiday card, but Jessica didn't hesitate to add him to the photoshoot. She was able to capture both the toddler and the dog looking at the camera. I love all the photos so much! Her husband came equipped with baby shark videos. Definitely booking again! read more

From start to finish, ForeFront Media was an absolute dream to work with. I had a last minute request for photography of my CA wedding ceremony, and they were able to meet all my requirements! On the day of my ceremony, Philip and NJ were absolutely wonderful! NJ was super charismatic, so she was able to get smiles out of my more stoic friends/family. Jessica was amazing at communication and was quick to provide updates and answer any questions I had. I'm so happy I went with ForeFront Media - I love the photos we received, as well as the service we experienced. :) read more

Everything about our experience with Forefront Media went above and beyond our expectations! Jessica was very quick to call me with a wonderful quote as soon as we made contact via Thumbtack. From the moment that we first chatted, I knew that Jessica and her professional photographers/videographer would be perfect. I am quite particular with details, and we only had 3 1/2 weeks to plan a gorgeous, upscale reception in honor of my Dad's retirement. We had 5 days to find a camera crew since my original head camera man became injured the prior weekend. However, I am so incredibly happy that I picked Jessica and Forefront Media to be our filming/camera crew. With literally no time and just a verbal and text agreement, plus signing contract papers one day before the event, it could have been a nightmare. I trusted my instincts and knew Forefront would be perfect. Jessica has a quiet confidence and professionalism, which made me believe that working with them would be exceptional. One thing that I noted was that Jessica truly listened to everything that I said and asked from her. Since we were all together for once, I asked her to please focus on our family photos as a group, even if we had to step aside from the party to do this. Plus, we wanted to capture all of the special moments. Jessica and her crew focused exactly on this. Jessica took direction incredibly well, so I didn't have to worry about anything. Jessica and her camera crew (Forefront Media) arrived to the venue early, and they were ready to work. After a quick chat and timeline earlier in the day, they knew exactly what to do. Her crew moved quietly amongst the party-goers without disturbing anything, yet they were always by our sides capturing all the special moments. Another plus was that Jessica said that there would be a photographer and videographer, which were her (main photographer) and her husband (videographer), but the day of the party, Jessica brought a crew of three, not two for the same price which was already a steal. Jessica was the main photographer and focused on the family photos. Her husband David did the videography, and Johnson was a 2nd camera man who focused on shots with party goers outside of our family. We will cherish this night for the rest of our lives. Forefront Media being by our sides capturing all of our happiness and love for our Father was a huge part of what made this night so special. We would highly recommend Jessica and Forefront Media for any event, and I am honored that you chose be there for our special night. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! read more

I did my professional headshots with Jessica and i couldn't be any happier! The session was great- Jessica had so many tips to help me get a "natural" smile and make me look slimmer. :). She took her time and it was an overall "fun" session. The pictures came out amazing!!! I get compliments all the time- she even had some poses that i could use for different marketing opportunities. So many options- which i love! Thank you, Jessica! I highly recommend her! read more

Jessica was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Professional, efficient, friendly, affordable, and, most importantly, took her time taking many fabulous photographs of our daughter's First Communion.

If you're looking for professional, quality, and friendly services with reasonable prices, these guys can do the job! I am so glad i found Forefront Media because my video turned out wonderfully esp since my wedding wasnt over the top. I was worried that it would be boring and look ghetto. Jessica was a sweetheart and very helpful along the way especially in my moments of chaos planning the entire thing so last minute. The 2 videographers did a great job and i am more than happy with my finished product. I hope everyone gives these guys a try because i highly recommend them. Thanks, Forefront Media, for helping me capture our special day so we can relive those memories when we are old, gray and have Alzheimers lol! read more

Forefront was wonderful! The video quality was great and they were great to work with! They were so accommodating with us and created a package just for us since we wanted only the raw footage. The were very professional on the day of and arrived on time. Since we were receiving only raw footage we would have been able to receive it that same day! My only disappointment was some of the video was cut off. They didn't film some events in full such as the wedding shoe game we did. The ceremony footage was filmed from two angles and I received it in a choppy way that had the pastor cut off mid word. Hoping that with some editing it will be more viewer pleasing. Overall they were a great value and wonderful to work with! They were always on top of emails and were quick to respond to any questions I had! Would recommend their service! Just maybe give them an outline of events so they are sure to be there to film all the events in full! read more

We hired Jessica and her team to capture our engagement both in videos and in photos. We are so happy we did as they did an amazing job in capturing our special moment. My fiancée and I are still in "awe" of our highlight video. We have watched it over and over again and every time we admire all the work that was put into this. We will cherish this video for the rest of our lives. Thank you ForeFront Media for doing such an incredible job! read more

Words can't express how grateful I am of the video we received. It captured the best moments of our wedding. Jessica and David were great to work with. They made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. If you book with forefront media I am definitely positive it will be the best decision you have made! Thank you so much! read more

We were married in LA in October. Our biggest worry was that we might miss photos with all of our vips, with all the hustle and bustle. Our photographer Jessica made sure to get every combination possible and took stunning photos! She went above and beyond to get them to us as quickly as possible, too. We could not have made a better decision for our photographer. Thank you Jessica read more

Forefront Media was the BEST find! We are so thrilled of the quality of our wedding videos. Both the highlight and 20 minute video beautifully captured our special day. We are so happy we were able to relive our day and share it with family and friends who were unable to attend. Every single person stated that they felt like they were there with us while watching our video. Even those who were there said they cried and laughed all over again while watching. We will forever be grateful to Forefront Media for capturing our day in the most beautiful way. Jessica, David and their team were so wonderful to work with and we will be recommending them to any one who is looking for a videographer to capture any event. They were so friendly and open to hearing how we wanted our day to be captured. The quality they produce is worthy to rave about. read more

This review is a long time coming, but holds just as true as the day when we first met with the Forefront Media. We met with Jessica and David, the wife/husband team behind the Forefront Wedding in 2019 and hired them for our wedding scheduled for May 16, 2020. Needless to say, we had to postpone/reschedule 3x related to circumstances due to the pandemic. Through it all Jessica and David have earned our deepest respect for their professionalism and work ethic. They were so communicative through email, phone calls, and texts. Their willingness to be flexible, work within our budget to tailor a package best for us, and support us through this process were above and beyond anyone could ever hope for. They did an incredible job doing our engagement photoshoot, even incorporating a fun coffeeshop theme we asked for. They also did a beautiful job doing videography for our wedding day May 16,2021. When we need photo/video we will not hesitate to hire them in the future. Thank You FOREFRONT MEDIA, you are the best! -- The Castles read more

My husband and I used Forefront Pictures as our wedding day videographers, and they were great! We had a lot of performance elements that we asked them to capture in full and give us the raw footage of: we sang our vows, had the wedding party enter the reception to a musical number, our first dance was inspired by musical theater, and we had a song as part of our thank-you speech. They also did an "interview booth" at the cocktail hour. They did a good job of capturing all of these elements in high-quality videos, and had my husband wear a mic to capture the sound better. The short video that they created was beautiful, and included drone footage with a magnificent view of our ocean-side location. The one thing we were initially disappointed with is that they had "interview booth" footage of well-wishes from my grandfather, but the short video used another interview instead. So we requested that they instead include the interview with my grandfather. They made this change in one day and sent us a link to download the updated video, perfectly edited with the new footage. Even though English isn't their first language, the few communication issues that arose were not a problem because they were patient and diligent in going through what we wanted in detail. A few weeks before the wedding we went over a list of important items to capture in full, including which pieces of the ceremony were the most meaningful to us (to include in the short video). They also showed up for the ceremony rehearsal to get a sense of what would happen. Try them if you want great videographers who won't bust your budget. read more

Jessica and her team really friendly and professional people! My wife and I are generally shy people, but Jessica was able to ease our nerves and made the photo shoots fun. And of course the pictures turned out great! We also really love the wedding highlight video they created! We were very comfortable around them and really enjoyed working with them. They did not run on a strict time limit, and focused more on getting the right shot. We ran well over our agreed time and they not try to charge us more, which we really appreciate. Speaking of prices, their prices are also very decent! We got a discount and a complimentary engagement shoot for attending a bridal expo. I highly recommend Jessica and her team if you are looking for a wedding photographer and videographer! read more

First off.. AMAZING! I loved my two photographers. I cant thank Jessica enough. Such a sweet, patient soul. Pictures that were edited came out amazing. My husband and I couldn't be more blessed to have found such amazing people and better yet photographers. Thank you so much for your services! :) read more

Our wedding started at 10:00 am in Ventura County, they are located in Torrance but when we got there around 9.30 am, they were already there! We had a small wedding in the court house, only two hours photo shooting, even shorter than they usually did, but they still treated it very professionally. Less than a week, we got our pictures, very pretty! Highly recommend!! read more

My Fiancé and I wanted to get Engagement pictures and decided to look on Yelp for a photographer. I'm so glad I decided to go with ForeFront Media.I couldn't have asked for a more friendlier or positive experience. I'm very shy and was nervous about the shoot but Jessica did an amazing job and making us feel comfortable. We enjoyed working with her.She is so generous and patient.I would recommend Forefront Media to anyone looking for photography services. read more

First and far most, Jessica and David are extremely accommodating and easy to work with. They definitely aim to please and I'm thankful they put so much work and effort into making my husband and I happy. The price for their (fully customizable) package is highly reasonable. What I really loved and found unique about them was that they have a package that would also include an "interview your guests" portion. I put together a small list of some family members and friends I wanted them to interview during cocktail hour...Months later after the wedding, my husband and I were watching the final video that was put together and were pleasantly surprised by that portion because we had forgotten about it! Those well wishes that got caught on camera were PRICELESS. I also liked that I was able to get a request for raw footage from them. What i was really looking for was for moments to be captured on video and for me to have those moments......they didn't necessarily have to be put together like some sort of music video or movie production (I mean........how many times am i going to watch the video over and over again??). What Forefront provided me with suited what I wanted and needed for the right price! The videos and edits were good enough for me and I'm glad I it didn't cost me an arm and a leg! :) They provided me with a short film, a feature video that included the ceremony, raw footage, a thumb drive, and they even let me add in a portion AFTER the wedding. My mom had gotten stage fright on the night of my wedding. She didn't go up to give me a speech (which was her surprise to me). I only found out after the fact and was so sad! I contacted Jessica and she let my mom come in to do a recording along with a slideshow of some photos my mom had prepared. They went above and beyond my expectations. I couldn't thank them enough for working this into the end of my feature video and am so grateful! Working with Forefront has been such a pleasure! Thank you so much!! read more

It was a great experience working with David and Jessica for my engagement video production. My fiance and I are totally satisfied with the final videos and photos. The company is so friendly and they are very patient listening to our request. Well, my fiance did most of the communication with them and he told me he did have a smooth and enjoyable experience. In general, ForeFront Media is a very professional company and we are happy to work with them. We are now planning to talk with them about our wedding photos and videos. I highly recommend ForeFront Media to those who are looking for a team of photographers and videographers. read more

They were great! The photographers blended into the background and did their job very professionally. When we recieved the product a couple weeks later, they exceeded our expectations. The video was amazing, so amazing. The video was really great quality and my wife cried and she doesn't cry.... ever. Overall great work and i would recommend them to anyone who asks. read more

I found Forefront pictures at a Bridal show and was attracted by your competitive pricing. After going back and forth several times with a few videographers, I decided to go with Forefront. On the wedding day, Jessica and David worked very hard! They even came out to our rehearsal the day before the wedding to get familiarized with the environment. However, when we finally got the videos after 5 weeks, we were a little disappointed with the feature film. They had included the entire pastor's long sermon. I shared with them my feedbacks and they edited a huge chunk of the video to incorporate parts of the sermon that I liked. Also, the groom's mum was not caught on the film. We did not know much about wedding stuff before the wedding but after the wedding, we realized that family members were important people who needed to be a part of the film. The final product is nice and we are very happy with it. My aunty, who was not able to attend the wedding said, "so touching and heartwarming" after watching the video. We really appreciate the fact that they were willing to listen to our comments and do edits. They are a relatively new company and will get better with time. Overall, wonderful job... Thank you! read more

I highly recommend ForeFront Pictures for any events. Thank you for capturing our special day. You guys did an awesome job for creating our memories as we begin this journey. You didn't only exceed our expectations but you also created a special memories that we will treasure forever. read more

I am truly blown away! I'm VERY picky, I have a type A personality, and I need to know every single detail that's going on. I must've researched every single videographer in Los Angeles. I didn't find one company that I liked. I knew the quality of work that I was looking for, the style, and didn't find it...until I went on Forefront's website. The first video I saw spoke to me. It was exactly what I imagined. Then I spoke with Jessica who seemed just as excited as I was about my wedding. I knew I was in good hands. Out of all my vendors this company was the only company I didn't have to micro-manage. I believe I only spoke to Jessica a couple of times before our wedding but I could tell she just got it. The day of the wedding she worked seamlessly with the photographer. It was like they'd known each other for years. Everything felt like it was done documentary style where I didn't even notice they were there. Even my guests later told me that Forefront never stopped the flow of the wedding, they were never in the way of their view, and completely forgot the wedding was filmed. I have high expectations, but I just knew they wouldn't be good enough for my husband who is a television and film editor/producer. I was SO WRONG!!! We just received our video back and it was beyond anything we could've dreamed of! The level of detail was impeccable. They captured the style, the theme of the wedding, the memorable moments, and most importantly our love! We were in awe. When it ended I looked at my husband and he goes "Wow! The cinematography was amazing and who was the editor?! I'm so impressed!" We will forever be appreciative that Forefront captured the most important day of our lives perfectly. Every single penny was worth it. They will be my forever videographers for all of my future events! Thank you Forefront!! I'm not trying to brag but ask them to see our video (Nicole + Bradinn) and you'll want to hire them. read more

These guys did an amazing job. We have an incredible wedding video to remember our special day because of them. Film quality was great and editing was on point!

I was visiting in the area of Redondo Beach and looking for photographer to take photos of my engagement. I am so glad I came across ForeFront Media! I called and made contact with Jessica and she is absolutely amazing! I told her I would be in the area in about 2 weeks and was unsure exactly what I wanted to propose. Jessica asked me the basic questions about time date and the area I was looking to propose. I told her Redondo Beach area. Jessica told me not to worry and that she will go around Redondo beach and take photos and send it to me so I could deicide what best location I like. I don't know anyone who goes above and beyond to help out their clients. After 1 and half week Jessica sending me photos every couple days we finally found the spot! My fiancé and I received our photos in just couple weeks which were Phenomenal! Amazing pictures that were edited with great lighting. We seriously couldn't of asked for more. From the beginning to the end Jessica was there to help me out with anything! Anyone who wants amazing pictures and amazing Photographer make sure to check out this place! You will not be disappointed! read more

The best ever! Stop looking anywhere else for a videographer/cinematographer! For any occasion, not only weddings. So happy to have found them at a wedding expo. This is the NICEST, most professional vendor I have worked with and has outstanding attention to detail. And I had many great vendors at my wedding so I hope you can grasp how amazing The ForeFront Media is! Jessica, David and the rest of the team always exceeded our expectations. Working hard to make this a beautiful, easy and personalized experience for us. I have had friends pay double for similar quality (without the personal touch of ForeFront Media). Not only did they do a fantastic job, but they were complete ninjas during the entire event! It was rare to see them in any footage or even photos of the photographer. Its a gift to be so hidden but be EVERYWHERE! Even during our love-story filming they made it so fun and relaxing, it felt more natural than fake. I have had such a pleasant experience I recommend everyone look no further and would 100000% use The ForeFront Media again for the future. Also when formulating our contract they were so open and flexible to give us a package that truly met our needs instead of saying "pick one". I appreciate them so much for helping make my wedding day a success and giving us tangible artful memories that we will keep with us forever.

I used ForeFront Pictures for my Sweet 16 and they did an amazing job on the videos! A month or two before my party, I started panicking to find a videographer and came across ForeFront Pictures on Yelp. As I visited their website and took a look at their sample videos, I booked them. Jessica was a great help as she provided me with information about pricing and how the videos would be etc. The day of my party, the people recording and Jessica were extremely kind to all the guests. I just got my highlight and full video a week ago, which is a month after the party, and the quality is very clear. My family and I are indian (so the party was themed a certain way) and they captured all of it well. There were live singers which were recorded well. My dad specifically wanted the videographers to record everyone at the party and they did exactly that and more! Thank you so much Jessica and everyone who made the videos great, it was a memorable experience! We will definitely use them again. read more
