Maria Cooper is my go-to Videographer for all of my video needs. Maria has helped me with business videos, while simultaneously providing me with best practices to use Zoom. She created several short videos for my website, and most recently created a 5-minute video clip for me to get information out about useful tips that needed to be disseminated immediately. I am looking forward to Maria producing upcoming webinars for my office, and helping me brainstorm on other marketing ideas. Maria is empathetic about the shelter-in-place regulations and the financial constraints that we are under because of it. She is willing to work with you, knowing that covid19 has placed economic limitations on all of us. If you need a Videographer, you cannot go wrong with Above and Beyond Productions. Maria Cooper is the best! read more

I contracted Maria Cooper to do promo videos for my company in Hayward CA. She not only did an outstanding job she really went above and beyond for our company. She was very professional and made thew videos for our company so awesome that it has helped step up our game. Thanks!, Maria read more

Maria was awesome and helped me with my infomercial for my Ballroom Dance business. I had worked with someone previously on this project, but had to trash it because I looked terrible and the experience was not good. Not true with Maria! She was so incredibly patient and encouraging. She brought the best out of me and acted as a director letting me know what sounded good and natural and what we should re-film. I was also very impressed and pleased with her follow through and communication. I never had to think "what's happening" - she responded so quickly and thoroughly. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and will recommend her to anyone needing video done for any reason. read more

The wedding video is wonderful! Amazingly Maria captured everything, every detail from beginning to end of my daughters garden wedding. I don't know how she seemed to be everywhere. She had such details from the purple candies, butterllies in the bushes, decorations, each small detail was filmedl. The music was perfect for each segment. We had 3 photographers and they didn't capture as much as Maria did. She began by knowing the family members and remembering to have them all in the video. We expected a nice wedding video, but this was absolutly GREAT! read more

Above and Beyond Productions - Maria Cooper, Owner of Above & Beyond Productions - Videographers Near Me - Danville, California

5 star service by Maria who went above and beyond to create a 60 second introduction video for recruiters, potential employers and business partners. The video can be viewed on my linkedin in profile and youtube. Thank you Maria!! read more

Maria is extremely friendly, flexible, easy going and promptly responds to texts and emails! She is creative and open to constructive feedback. We used Maria's services for a video for my son's 3rd birthday party at a park. I loved how she included music that we chose in the videos. I love how she got so many details and decorations in the video and was so friendly at the party to all my guests. I love how kid friendly she was and how my son felt her warm personality and felt comfortable with her. I loved the green screen shots and the animated pictures of my son! We were impressed with the time frame in which we got the video and her flexibility in payments. What disappointed me, was when we discussed how much footage we were going to get for a really high price (the cost of some wedding videos), it didn't meet what we discussed. The party was from 10am to 2pm. For a 4 hour party she said it'd be 60-90 minutes. The video ended up being about 20 minutes. The video was beautiful and creative and special in every way, but the cost ($1200) for a 20 minute video seems over the top and excessive! The verbal expectations that were set in the beginning when we first met were different from the completed product. It was also frustrating she was an hour later than she said she'd be. Overall, I appreciate all the patience, hard work, professionalism and passion she has for videography. She loves what she does and it shows. Thank you Maria! I'll post the videos on Yelp so others can see your great work! read more

Maria Cooper is professional, skilled, seasoned, talented, and has a big heart! She filmed video testimonials for my private practice work as a certified clinical hypnotherapist specializing in stress management. She was great at making the people she filmed feel at home and comfortable in front of the camera. She also filmed an Author book reading I did in Danville about how my dear Grandmother ROSE and my expressive ART saved my life as a child growing up in a dangerous home: Maria shined a beautiful light on the chapter I wrote in the anthology, "The Grandmother Legacies." Her filming, editing, and production of my book reading were top notch. Thank you Maria for your big heart and amazing skills! You live up to your business name -- going "Above and Beyond!" read more

I met Maria for my BEAUTY studio commercial video, And she is such a PROFESSIONAL she know how to portrait you in a COMMERCIAL video, also very patience as I was not prepared on any SCRIPT she helped to do that as well. I recommend her for all who want their videos to get more likes and present yourself more professionally. read more

Maria facilitated most of our virtual events in 2020 and she did a spectacular job! She is so professional, easy to work with and great at what she does. I highly recommend her. read more

Maria was great! She made my family's restaurant (Mixed Roll & Bop- shameless plug) commercial and it was fantastic! She had great direction, beautiful shots of our food, restaurant, and staff, and responded to our beck and call effortlessly! We specifically asked her for certain shots as we cooked our food in real time and she transitioned around the kitchen with ease and came out with some amazing shots! As for results, I was surprised how fast it came out! I think the turn around time was give or take 2 days after I gave my feedback before publishing. I would definitely recommend Maria if you're looking for a videographer! And aside from her work, she is also a great person! Professional, nice, and easy to get along with. Thanks Maria! read more

My wife and I celebrated our tenth anniversary last month. We went back and watched our wedding video that was produced by Maria. I remembered once again what an incredible job she did capturing our special day. Great touches, effects and quality (and this was ten years ago). Thank you, Maria! read more

This is my first review because this is something i feel strongly for and that is very important to me. :/ I feel broken hearted because my wedding video is still incomplete even though my wedding was april/2014. We waited patiently than months later found out that she still not done with it. It was OK, I was willing to wait for it because I wanted it to be amazing and I'm a very patient person, afterall I waited forever for my now husband to come around. She gave us a rough copy to give us an idea of what she had. There was a lot of uneeded noise and messy parts. It didn't transition smoothly has i hoped. Still we were patient. We ended up coming in to help her understand what we wanted a coup le times. She was going througha divorce so i wanted to give her all the time she needed. Than about a yr later she finally gives us one copy instead of the 4 we wanted because her brother died. I felt sorry for her. OK fine. We view it and there are parts where the music doesn't even match dancing scenes, there was rough transitions and there was a big repeat. Than the end wasn't even the end. I was so disappointed. We texted her and she never texted back so we waited because maybe she's still mourning over her brother. Than later we call her and leave a message, still no call back. It's been a year and a half now and my family asks me about my wedding video but I don't know what to tell them. I can't give them a copy of anything because I don't even have a complete one. :( read more

She captures every moment and her final product will far exceed your expectations!! She not only will be such a positive part of your wedding day experience but she will also become a dear friend!! read more

I am so happy with the amazing video story Maria Cooper captured of my engagement party. She has a great eye for beautiful composition and the ability to capture real life moments. She and her quality of work is very professional and surpassed my expectations. And on top of that she is super friendly, kind, passionate and positive, which made it a real pleasure to work with her. I will definitely be hiring her for all of my future videography needs. read more

Amazing! We've had Maria come to our dental office to produce 2 of our videos. A few years ago she came out for the first time and I made sure I asked for her again a few weeks ago. She is such a knowledgeable professional, helps you feel at ease and makes the videos look so professional with beautiful end results... amazing work! Can't say enough, will definitely continue to have Maria come out for ALL future events. read more

Maria is awesome, she did a commercial for my company and worked a miracle. I am very very camera shy and hate to hear my own voice, she was patient and very understanding. When it came to filming she even got under my dirty jeep and filmed me working on it. Maria your're awesome keep it up!!!!!! read more

Above and Beyond Productions was the best! Maria Cooper completed a video for my Mom's 90th Birthday Celebration. And, it was the highlight of the party. Maria was extremely professional in all her dealings with our family and friends both before, during and after the Celebration. Somehow she captured more than just images. She captured "emotions" of love, respect, togetherness, family, and joy. The videos were a warm, touching and tender testament of Our Family and a tribute to our Mom. Maria Cooper truly lives up to her business name because she REALLY went above and beyond in sooooo many ways - commitment, dedication, professionalism, attention to detail, pride in her work, are just a few words to describe her. You can tell she really enjoys her work and is passionate about it. I look forward to having her video our next big family event. Two Thumbs Up for sure! read more

Maria Cooper has produced several videos for my fitness training studio website, the most recent, a commercial for my home page. She's skilled, passionate and has a great sense of both your vision and the best way to execute it. The final product was beyond my expectations. She showed an innate sense of what I wanted to convey and was a dream to work with. Very professional and a super fast turn-around so we were able to showcase the video before the January fitness peak. Can't wait to work with her again! read more

Maria Cooper is an awesome videographer. I couldn't have asked for a better experience or a better video. Maria goes the extra mile to ensure enough footage and choose just the right footage to create a final result that I love. Maria is an artist in her approach and put me at ease so that my presence on the video was better than I thought I could be.. Thank you Maria! read more

Let me tell you what Above and Beyond really means! I was presenting in front of 45+ business owners and I needed someone to capture this on video. While I was researching I knew I needed Quality & Outstanding Service. It was important to me that whoever I hired was responsive, easy to work with, listens to my needs, and has top of the line equipment to ensure quality. After reading all of Maria Coopers outstanding reviews and talking with her on the phone, I knew she was the right fit for me. Here comes the part where she went Above and Beyond... I was stuck in traffic traveling from the Sacramento area. When I say stuck I mean I didn't move for over an hour. I had planned for this presentation for over 3 months and my new service was being launched that day. I was supposed to meet Maria at the Crow Canyon Country Club at 9:30 AM and we had 2 hours to set up and test the presentation, audio, camera equipment etc... Traffic only got worse. I began to panic. I thought heck I better just call everyone and cancel it. First, I called Maria and explained the situation. Her exact words were, "Ashley don't you worry, I have your presentation connected to my laptop and everything sounds perfect and it looks sharp on the projector." I was still in panic mode until Maria sent me photos and a video with her cell phone showing me everything was ready. All I needed to do was show up and put my mic on. She went even further... I texted her when I arrived and she met me outside and helped me carry in all of my large displays which saved me even more time. I can't thank her enough. I highly recommend her for testimonial videos, weddings, and commercials for businesses. She knows how to perform at 100% even under a high-pressure situation. Thank you, Maria for everything! read more

We decided last minute to have our wedding recorded and were so happy Maria was available on our wedding day. Maria went above and beyond for us (just like her company name states) to capture our wedding ceremony and reception. She was easy to work with and kept us in the loop before, during and after our wedding. She is so professional and loving. You can really tell this is her passion and the quality of work shows this. We highly recommend Maria's services to anyone looking to capture their special day! read more

Maria is the greatest, with a great eye. She is very professional, as is her work! She captured everything we were looking for in our wedding without needing any directions from us. We highly recommend her. Her prices are extremely reasonable! read more

If there was an option Maria would get 6 stars. Maria Cooper of Above and Beyond Productions produced our Yelp video early this year. I remembered her putting my crew at ease as they were all camera shy and dreading the day of the shoot. It was such a great experience. She delivered the edited piece within 48 hours and we were very pleased. So when I needed a promotional video for a trade show we contacted Above and Beyond Productions immediately. She and her crew produced exactly what we were looking for! Within 24 hours of contacting her (which is very short notice to put a high quality price together), her team found the location, handled the script, voice over, music and graphics. I actually called a few other people and they said it would need at least a week to put something together. She knows exactly how to cater to her clients needs even the unrealistic one I put in front of her. We are so happy to have Above and Beyond Productions handle all of our video needs - Above and Beyond Productions still does not give Maria Cooper and her team justice as there are no words for how great she and her team are!!!! read more

We had a hard time finding a videographer to film our wedding ceremony the way we wanted: we didn't want an "art" film costing several thousand dollars. We wanted a documentary approach that simply filmed the ceremony from start to finish, so that family members unable to attend would feel, watching it, as if they'd been there. Maria Cooper (Above and Beyond Productions) took the job and did exactly what her business name promises: above and beyond anything we expected. We thought she would simply turn the camera on and off at the beginning and end of the ceremony. But she realized, a few minutes into the ceremony, that that wasn't going to give us a good end-product, and she ended up producing a much more in-depth product, using a combination of different angles, still photos (to cover the parts where she was moving the camera) and video to produce an end product that was not only LIKE what the actual guests saw, but BETTER than what the actual guests saw. For no extra charge, because it was simply what she felt was necessary to produce an end product she would be proud of, and we would like. In addition, she had the most amazing attitude of cooperation. With many of our vendors, we felt like "wedding #473" -- a profit center in a big business, rather than two unique people. But not with Maria. She was wonderful to work with, went above and beyond what she was required to do, and what we expected, was incredibly reasonable in price, flexible in schedule, and the end product is really, really, really amazing. Great eye, great post-production editing (which we didn't even expect), ... just outstanding on every level. read more

I absolutely loved working with Maria. She was patient with me & my ideas. She worked hard to make my business video fun & enjoyable. Her professionalism to editing & time dedicated to making it perfect was so amazing. She's just so calm & lovely to work with that I highly recommend her to your next event. Let her capture it perfectly. read more

Maria Cooper did an excellent job of filming and editing my daughter's skills video. This video was sent to different colleges across the United States.

Maria Cooper, of "Above and Beyond Productions" recently Produced and Filmed a short "How to" product Video for my small business. First of all, I found her right here on Yelp! Without much to go on, short notice, and little script; she scouted out the location, set up the time, helped me coach the "star" and filmed a Magnificant video.
