Once in a blue moon, a company surpasses my expectations. When I first contacted Circle Video from…read moresearching online, I explained I had a fairly extensive video editing project and was under a very tight deadline. I was new to the Bay Area and had nothing more to go on than my first impressions over the phone. I explained that the project would involve three distinct "phases" requiring precise syncing to a soundtrack on specific musical beats, fast cut edits (3 seconds or less) with faultless transitions of over 150 photos into a 3-minute soundtrack, and setting multiple video clips to a timed soundtrack, balancing audios to enhanced voice-over-sound. I had a very special objective in mind. My stepdaughter was out of state at college, and I learned that she had a falling out with her dad. I knew she missed him, because they had always been very close. I was determined to find a way to remind her of all the happy times she had with him, and me, as a very special 19th birthday gift. The finished project was envisioned to be a time capsule of her life, through pictures put to a special piece of music, from birth to high school graduation. Part of the gift would be delivery of a 32" HDTV and DVD player for her to watch the video on. So this was a project that would demand a professional video production company. My first impressions of James over the phone were that he understood what I wanted, and I felt comfortable that he had the ability to complete the work. I liked the fact that he could schedule studio time right away so we could get started. I knew exactly what I wanted the finished product to look like, and so he suggested I sit in to provide direction as he edited. The session was long and very focused, but James never tired. He was friendly, attentive, thorough, and knowledgeable in his craft. Within days, James had completed my project for pickup. A week later, my phone rang. It was my stepdaughter who tearfully thanked me for her birthday gift. I knew the tv was not causing her tears. It was something else. I asked how she liked the video. She said all her friends had watched the 14-minute video and they were all blown away! And then she got quiet for a moment, choking back emotion. I waited. She said, "Mom, I called dad. After watching the video a few times, I realized we need each other." Rarely have I written a review because I'm almost never satisfied with customer service or results. But this is one company that truly met and exceeded my expectations. I can truly say James and Circle Video are outstanding! I would not hesitate to use their services again (and already am working on our next project) -- and I highly recommend James. He got the project done -- the way I wanted it, within the deadline I needed it! A father and daughter have been reunited. Mission accomplished! It just doesn't get any better than that! Thanks, James! Excellent job!!

We had Moradi Studios take pictures for our daughter's First Communion and are so pleased with the whole experience. Nima and Adriana arrived at the church early and were ready to go. They got great shots throughout the ceremony, and even more afterwards. They both made our 8 year old feel so comfortable and were able to connect with her amid the chaos. They were so patient with the crazy crowds and very respectful and understanding with our excited family members requesting pictures with our little one and interrupting their styled/posed shots. Turn around time for our images was less than a week-- actually just a few days-- which also really impressed us! I can't wait to work with Moradi Studios for our next special event!

Graham (Final Frame) was the perfect fit! He is very professional and readily available for any questions, etc. He has a quicker turnaround for the video which is a bonus, and I really liked that his presence was very subtle (doesn't feel like you're on a movie set with a ton of bulky equipment). He edited a wonderful video (documentary edit), and I feel like I really get to relive the wedding day, and I love that I get to re-watch all the speeches/special moments of us with our friends and family. One of my favorite parts is that he will interview the guests (optional) and you get to hear and see family/friends video messages. It was awesome and really special. I'd highly recommend Graham! He is excellent!

Graham is very responsive and easy to work with. The day of our June 2021 wedding, Graham showed up on time and got right to work. You hardly even know he's there, which is exactly what we wanted from a videographer. He films "documentary style" and gets all the parts of the day that are such a blur to the bride and groom. My favorite thing about his style is the interviews he does with the bride and groom separately and the interviews he does with guests. It's such a nice touch that makes watching the video even more special. Graham is so affordable given the INCREDIBLE work that he does. I can't believe some people don't get a videographer for their wedding as it was such a special experience to rewatch our day through the eyes of our guests. My sister used Graham a few years ago, and I will be recommending Graham to every future bride and groom. His work is stunning, he doesn't interfere or get in the way, and he adds special touches that make the video even more fun to watch. Thank you so much Graham!!

Jenn did an absolutely amazing job capturing our wedding…read more She captured amazing shots of all the most important moments, all while making herself absolutely invisible in the crowd -- frankly, we barely knew she was there. (Not that you wouldn't want her there, but it's just impressive that she managed to capture so many TRULY candid moments because she so seamless melted into the crowd.) The actual "highlight" video she made was perfect -- we've watched it a hundred times and will probably watch it a hundred more. Undoubtedly one of the best investments we spent on our wedding day -- a memory we'll really want to have forever. I couldn't more highly recommend investing in a wedding video to supplement pictures alone, and -- if you're getting a wedding video -- I couldn't more highly recommend Better Half Wedding Videography to do the work. (As a real testament to Jenn's work, my younger brother -- copycat that little siblings are -- hired Jenn for his own wedding 15 months later.)

Once we settled on our wedding venue in Tomales, CA, one of our first moves was to hire Jenn as our…read morevideographer. My brother-in-law (Nick K. - see below!) had recommended her highly after she filmed their wedding a year-plus earlier, and we had loved the highlight video she produced for them. Jenn was warm and open, easy to work with, and flexible as we figured out details about our wedding day. She hopped on a call with us to get a sense of what we hoped for in the wedding and in the footage that would capture the day. Though Jenn had never been to our venue or worked with our planner before, she arranged everything seamlessly so that we didn't have to worry at all. And then on our wedding day, as other reviewers have said, she somehow became invisible while still managing to film every important moment and detail. We never noticed Jenn, and her blending in allowed her to capture the whole day with full authenticity, as neither we nor our guests seemed to feel self-conscious at all. After the wedding, Jenn solicited our input about music choices for our highlight video and was receptive to our requests. What she wound up producing was an incredibly special, evocative tribute to our big day. In the days since we have received the video, we have loved reliving every moment she captured. Her editing and cuts in the highlight video spun together a narrative that powerfully evoked all of the sentiment that made the day so special, and her video only enhanced that for us. Jenn also has arranged for us to receive a copy of all of the raw footage from the day, and we eagerly anticipate combing through everything else she filmed that did not make the video. We're confident it will be just as compelling and meaningful as the rest. We made a million vendor choices throughout our wedding planning process, and certainly, none was more of a surefire success than our choice to work with Jenn.

Otis was kind with great attention to detail from the start. Ultimately, we decided with the glam package and our contract was very clear to understand with cost breakdown for removal of specific services / add-ons. I updated it many times with Jessica, our planner, as we made changes throughout the months, and she was always so patient and clear. Our MC Otis did a wonderful job with maintaining flow of the program. Otis was also working as DJ for a good portion of the evening, so props to him! We had closer to an hour compared to 1.5 hours of open dancing because we were behind schedule, but everybody was on the dance floor and he kept the party going seamlessly. Weddings are hectic and there are so many moving parts; we did get behind schedule but we were still able to do everything we wanted to do. Our photo & video services were set to end, but Otis was very professional in discussing with us if we wanted to extend our video services, communicative on additional cost, at the moment. Our photographer, Ben, along with the team Stanford and videographer, Christina, were so fun to work with. Ben was great at providing direction, which is especially helpful since we were not used to posing. I have not received photo & video yet as it has only been a week, but from an experience standpoint, they were attentive to detail, communicative, and glided effortlessly through the event. My makeup artist, Vivi, is the sweetest person. She was super attentive to detail and my particular skin type. I was worried about makeup because I don't wear heavy makeup often. I ended up paying for a make-up trial, and I was so happy working with Vivi that I had no worries for the wedding day. We also added-on make up for our mothers, which Vivi did the morning of. The reception decor turned out so pretty! Everything was set-up as scheduled. I was really happy with the welcome backdrop and name sign. It was also great to take pictures with guests with the backdrop since we had time during cocktail hour. We asked TDE to incorporate a large screen as the backdrop of our sweetheart table, so we found an example from a previous wedding they did, and it turned out exactly as expected. We added the photo-booth, which was so popular with the guests! There were so many cool props and our guests were having tons of fun with it. I also sent TDE a custom drawing that I wanted for the photo strips- and it turned out just like I imagined. We chose Grand Dynasty as our reception venue, and TDE communicated set-up details with our restaurant event manager, Esmond, in the days leading up to the event. I highly recommend TDE and the team that we worked with! Thank you for making it an unforgettable experience.
