We had the absolute best experience with Amari for our wedding photography and videography. They beautifully captured both our rehearsal dinner and wedding day, preserving every meaningful moment in such a natural and timeless way. The team we worked closely with made us feel completely comfortable and at ease during what can be such a hectic time. Nothing felt forced, and they helped us look and feel like ourselves in front of the camera. Throughout the entire process, they were professional, organized, and communicative, which gave us so much confidence leading up to the big day. We are beyond grateful for how perfectly they documented our wedding weekend and would highly recommend Amari to anyone looking for an exceptional photo and video team. Thank you Janet & Ray for your artistry! read more

The Amari team did such a fantastic job capturing our wedding weekend both with gorgeous photos and a beautiful highlight reel. The video was the perfect summation of our two event days and captured the key moments and feeling of love so beautifully. The team was easy to reach for questions and our on-site photographer, Doug, and videographers Venus and Taylor were all so kind, fun and helpful. We felt so well taken care of! Highly recommend Amari for both photo and video as they make the process easy and seamless. read more

I am late in writing this review since our event was in November last year however I felt it is important to write one... I believe it's fair to give your opinion especially in these types of situation since people book photographers for special occasion and I felt I let others know about what kind of job Amari Productions did for us. With that being said our experience will this company was not good at all. We were extremely disappointed with the photography service provided for our son's wedding. This was the first wedding in our family, and we trusted the team to capture one of the most important and emotional moments of our lives. Unfortunately, the final results fell far below our expectations. Around 35-40% of the photos in the gallery that they provided were duplicates or nearly identical shots with the same angles and poses repeated over and over again. Many important ceremonies were covered very poorly, in several key moments, the photos only showed the backs of people instead of capturing the actual ceremony, emotions, and expressions that mattered most. What makes this even more frustrating is that we had a detailed video call with both the coordinator and the photographer before the wedding. We clearly explained the important ceremonies, family moments, and expectations in advance, so we genuinely believed everything would be handled professionally. Sadly, we now feel that many once-in-a-lifetime memories were not properly captured, and that is something we can never recreate. Wedding photographs are meant to preserve moments for future generations, and it is heartbreaking to feel disappointed when looking back at such an important event. The most disappointing thing was that I communicated my disappointment with two people and neither one of them offered any kind of solution that could have made me feel better. Sometime in situation like this the senior people of the company such as the owners or founders contact the customers and try to see how they can help satisfy the customers but in this case no one bothered. This shows how much they care for their customers. My wife and I regret using this company... we wish we would have done a better job in searching for the right photography company. read more

Working with Amari Productions was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the start, they made the entire process feel effortless. Their prep forms were so detailed and intentional -- it felt like they truly wanted to understand what mattered most to us. It gave us so much confidence going into the day knowing they were on the same page and we got the finer details sorted well ahead of time. On our wedding day, the Amari team completely exceeded expectations. They were professional but relaxed, creative but never overbearing -- the perfect balance. Our lead, Sage, was incredible. He connected with our guests so naturally and the team made everyone feel at ease, as if they were part of the celebration. You could feel that the entire Amari team genuinely cared about making the day special, not just capturing it. When we got our photos and films back, we were speechless. They didn't just record what happened -- they truly captured how it felt. Every emotion, every laugh, every quiet moment was brought back to life in such a thoughtful, cinematic way. These are memories we'll carry forever, and we're so grateful to Amari for preserving them so beautifully. Thank you so much! read more

Amari Productions did a wonderful job capturing the feel of our wedding day. They were professional, thoughtful, and easy to work with throughout the process, and they brought great energy. They captured the entire day, personal moments, detailed shots of the venue, drone coverage of the scenery, while never feeling like they drew attention away from being in the moment. The extended highlight video as well as the Instagram sneak peek they shared were exactly what we had envisioned in terms of editing style, feel, visual warmth, etc. They were great to work with and understood the kind of video we wanted after an easy intake form and just a short zoom call. We are very happy we chose Amari Productions and would enthusiastically recommend them! read more

Loved Amari Productions for our wedding back in April. We had Chris and Ray who were incredible. They were so sweet and thoughtful about capturing every shot and video. We got our video highlight and we were blown away by how they put all the footage together to capture our special day. There were moments in the day we didn't get to see so it was great being able to watch it all over again and take it all in. Thank you again for providing an amazing team that transformed our wedding into lasting memories. We'll definitely be sure to continue with Amari for future photography moments. read more

Our wedding was in January 2025. This was the very first wedding vendor I talked to when we started planning the wedding! I contacted Amari Productions because I had seen their work with Safiya and Tyler on Youtube, and thought it would be fun to at least try, and ended up actually booking with them. The photography and videography teams were all super professional and nice, and even though I'm not super great with cameras, they gave good direction for portraits and took really amazing candids throughout the night that made my husband and I look like models, haha. There were some scheduling and timing things that didn't go according to plan, but Amari was able to communicate with our venue and find time to still coordinate all the important shoots we wanted to have, saving me the stress of having to figure it out myself. The photos and video came out incredible! The video takes a while, and it was worth the wait, but if I could have gone back I would have gotten a short edit in addition to the longer form highlight video just to have it ASAP. I did not realize how much I wanted to see how everything turned out until I was sitting around waiting! I'm really glad I decided to go for my dream wedding photo/video company. Thank you for everything! read more

Amari Productions - The photo we used for our thank-you cards! - Videographers Near Me - San Diego, California

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Amari Productions for photography and videography. We were a bit nervous prior to the engagement photoshoot, but it turned out to be so fun! We looked up some inspo pictures to recreate and set the tone, and Deseret was great at executing and providing direction. All photographers and videographers were very professional on the day of the wedding and skilled in finding or creating beautiful moments. We are very pleased with the photos we received, and the video was beyond what we imagined. Would definitely recommend Amari! read more

We hired Amari Productions for our wedding and couldn't be happier with the experience! From our engagement session to the big day, we had the pleasure of working with Ariel, who is not only incredibly talented but also such a joy to be around. Her warm personality made us feel completely at ease, and we absolutely love how our photos turned out--she captured everything beautifully! We also worked with Nick for videography. While we haven't received our video just yet, based on how professional and easygoing he was on the wedding day, we're confident it will be just as amazing. Ariel and Nick worked seamlessly together, and my husband and I genuinely enjoyed having them both there to capture our day. We highly recommend Amari Productions to any couple looking for a photography and videography team that's both skilled and enjoyable to work with! read more

Loved working with this team the process was so efficient and I really enjoyed working with the team! They were so quick to turn around a video! And the price is very reasonable! Would totally book with them read more

I cannot recommend Amari enough! From the very beginning, they were so prompt and reliable, which gave me one less thing to worry about on such a big day. On our wedding day, the videographers (especially Adrian!) were not only professional but also so much fun to be around. They had us laughing and feeling comfortable the entire time, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. When we received our video, I was blown away. It was absolutely beautiful and perfectly captured the emotions, details, and little moments that made our day so special. Watching it back feels like reliving the best day of our lives, and I'm so grateful we chose Amari to tell our story. Truly an amazing team and an unforgettable result! read more

We absolutely loved working with Amari Productions! From start to finish, they were incredibly flexible, friendly, and professional. They asked all the right questions leading up to our wedding day, which made us feel so confident that they truly understood what mattered most to us. From our beginning consultation to the actual day of our wedding, I felt like they were just so kind and truly made such an amazing experience for us! On the day itself, they were such a joy to have around, fun, calm, and genuinely kind people who made everyone feel comfortable. They managed to split up and be in multiple places at once, capturing all the important moments from both of our perspectives so beautifully. One thing that meant a lot to us was how well they captured our dog, those photos turned out to be some of our absolute favorites! We were so impressed by their attention to detail, their warmth, and the way they perfectly preserved the emotions of the day. We can't recommend them enough to anyone looking for photographers who not only take stunning photos but also bring the best energy to your wedding! read more

The Amari Productions team is pure magic. They are bonafide pros when it comes to filming the right angles, making the right edits, and capturing the right moments. When my wife (then fiancée) and I were hunting for wedding videographers, we saw quite a few prior to Amari. But once we stumbled upon their work, we were sold. We knew they'd do a great job. But they exceeded our already high expectations. They really know how to fit your exact style and preferences. Besides from being experts at their craft, they are also great people. George worked with us on our wedding day, and he's such a gem. He's kind, warm, caring, and not the least bit intrusive. We were so happy to have him there behind the camera. Amari is the without a doubt a 5/5 star production team. Do not think twice about hiring them for your event! read more

Amari was such a pleasure to work with! They made the whole process easy, fun and stress free. They were also super professional on day of. They were quick to get us things back after the wedding and we love the content that they made! read more

Working with the Amari Productions team was so easy & hassle free! From the very beginning, they were so professional & easy to get a hold of. The online portal was super simple & a breeze to get through. Our wedding photos turned out so amazing & we still get compliments on them to this day! I cannot recommend this company enough!! read more

We loved working with Amari for our wedding video! They worked well with our photographer and gave us a referral based discount and free Sneak Peek video! They were professional throughout the day, and we absolutely love our full length video. read more

I will say the owners responded to this review with kindness and made a genuine effort to remedy the situation. Unfortunately, photos that were never taken simply don't exist. That said, I appreciated their willingness and openness to resolve the issue. read more

The videography and photography team we had for our wedding on 06/12 was the absolute best. Our main point of contact and photographer Sage was AMAZING along with David and the other members of the crew. They were so incredibly nice and great at making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. Worth every penny and can't wait to see the final product!! Thank you Amari! read more

We loved working with Amari for our wedding videography. They were very easy to coordinate with leading up to the event. On the day of, they worked seamlessly with our photographers and were efficient with their coverage. The final products came out beautifully. We booked the highlight video, ceremony edit, and toasts edit, which was the perfect collection for us. The highlight video wonderfully captured the joy of our wedding and we are so glad to have the full ceremony and toasts recorded for our memories. read more

Amari was 100% the right choice. The guys (led by Matt) were on-purpose and professional -- and completely blended into the background on our wedding day. They rolled with last-minute schedule changes and still got so many incredible shots that I hoped they could/would (on both the handheld cams and drone). They nailed the angles and feeling we wanted, and then the editing team crafted a beautiful and heartwarming wedding video for us less than two months later. Amari was reasonably priced and the entire team was easy to work with throughout the planning process. They definitely understood and carried out our vision. We can't thank them enough. read more

We highly recommend Amari, and particularly Corey Schwartz. He worked extremely well with our photographer, capturing all the special moments and went above and beyond in every way. Cannot recommend him highly enough! read more

I found Amari productions on Instagram. One thing that stuck out to me was how lively and just fun they were able to capture someone's wedding in such a short amount of time. I knew me and my husband's wedding would be full of livelihood and jokes and I knew that's how we wanted to remember our wedding in a short video so I reached out to Amari. They were prompt with responding to my inquiry. They were accommodating with pricing and it fit our budget. They were on time with showing up on our wedding day and it felt natural to be myself getting ready despite cameramen being in the background. We got our video in a short amount of time after the wedding, exactly like they promised. We were impressed with their great quality film and that we got everything we wanted in the video. We have nothing but great things to say about this company!!! (Sorry for the very delayed review!) read more

We had the most amazing experience working with Amari Productions!! They do incredible work and are even better people to work with! Corey is awesome and was super helpful throughout the whole process. Photographer Kseniia was an absolute joy to work with. She was super friendly and helped us so much with poses and natural looks. Videographers Bennett & Michael were so professional and friendly. They got the best shots of everyone and got every detail of our wedding. We will forever be blown away by the photos and videos they captured. We highly recommend Amari for all wedding photos & videos!! read more

Amari showed up and delivered! We experienced top level service from each and every one of their team members from the planning stage to the day of the wedding and the post wedding follow up. They were personable and professional. They made sure to tailor our experience to fit exactly what we wanted. We were a couple that didn't want to spend hours getting portraits taken or too much time wasted on photos in general, we wanted to make sure got all the important pictures taken and then spent our wedding enjoying our guests! They were amazing about respecting this, they were punctual, speedy and organized. They made sure the photo ops were short and sweet while getting all the important moments captured. They were a dream the day of the wedding but really wowed us with their finished product. The photos we got back were stunning! 10/10 experience from beginning to end with Amari, can't recommend them enough! read more

We were so very happy we ended up going with Amari for our videography services of our wedding. Like most couples we had been weighing budget against what we wanted out of our day and what it came down to was that photography was our priority, but we still wanted to have video. We came across Amari thinking they would just be there to capture the day to remember, but not expecting anything crazy. We are so happy we made that decision. Not only were they very helpful in the planning process, but the day of they were professional, made us feel comfortable, and provided us with a great final product. Also, we were really looking to have the raw content so that was a bonus that they allowed for that too. We ended up going with the slightly more expensive option and it was worth every penny because George was awesome. He met with us before to talk about our goals, expectations, what content we would really like to see, and ran through the day of timeline so there were no surprises. If you are on the fence, get the videographer, and go with Amari. read more

We got married a couple months ago and recently got our highlight video. After my husband and I watched it for the first time together, we looked at each other almost in awe and then he said, "wanna watch it again?!" After we watched it a second time, we watched our ceremony video, then the video of the speeches (both great too)... then we watched the highlight video a THIRD time! Amari has a couple forms to fill out before the event, so I wrote up notes about music, voice overs, cinematography, etc. Their team truly read everything I wrote, took that into account in their editing, and delivered BEYOND what I could have imagined. We are so, so, so, so happy with it. It was AMAZING. It captured so much of us and our day, and we were filled with love and wonder watching it. We also had such a great experience with the team on our wedding day. They were very kind and enjoyable to be around, which is so important. We appreciate all your work, Amari Productions-- we LOVE IT! read more

It was such a pleasure to have been able to work with such an incredible team at Amari Productions. Their films are so genuine and unique, and it's because of the attention to detail and work they put in both before and after the wedding to make sure all the moments you want to be reflected in the final product are captured. Prior to the wedding, they provided us a questionnaire with everything we wanted to make sure we got on film (i.e. any detail shots, any editing preferences, the song choice). After the wedding, they also asked us if there was anything else we wanted to include prior to them starting on the editing of our film. When we got our highlight film, we were floored at just how great all the footage and editing was. Everything came out so beautiful and it really stayed true to the essence of what that day meant for us and for our families. Amari Productions was also our photographer for the wedding and they did such an incredible job at not only capturing everything we wanted, but they captured really great candid ones too. In addition, they were also very polite and professional. We're so glad we invested in such an amazing videographer/photographer to capture such a special day for us. Highly recommend! Thank you again Amari Productions! read more

The Amari Productions team made our wedding! My husband and I got married this past February. We were originally scheduled to get married in December 2020 and had to postpone. Amari worked through every part of my wedding with me, I can not stress how important and crucial they were in helping me postpone and reschedule! My husband and I waited a long time to get married and wanted our wedding to be a dream come true. With the help of the Amari team, our dream did come true! I had the pleasure to work with Britt leading up to the wedding and it was the best experience! She is so incredible and just a joy! Day of the wedding the whole production team was so outstanding, they were fun, knowledgable, and really made us all feel so comfortable! We were beyond grateful to get to work with such awesome people and I could not have asked for a better team to be apart of our big day! They were on top of everything and so fully invested in making our wedding perfect. Some of the true magic was when we received our wedding video! I work in Events and I have never seen a better production then theirs. I hope to convey the amount of beauty and expertise that went into this film being produced. The team outdid themselves!! In all seriousness, our day was made because the Amari team was able to capture and present our wedding exactly how we had always imagined it! Our wedding would not have been the same without them all and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity it work with such an outstanding team! read more

I have a lot of "woulda, coulda, shouldas" from our wedding that was planned in midst of pandemic, and took place in October 2020. But working with Amari is not one of them. From the first call to the delivery of the video, the team at Amari was an absolute pleasure to work with. Aaron, Britt, Magdalena, and David are all so down to earth and professional. Not only does this team have an eye for capturing beauty and human connections, but their flexibility and guidance during the pandemic were top notch. Before our wedding, I'd sit in bed at night watching the wedding videos on Amari's website, and they made me so happy (and tearful). And now, we have our perfect wedding day captured just as beautifully! I would highly recommend Amari to anyone looking for a videographer, hands down! read more

Amari Productions was our wedding videographer for our Sept 2020 elopement in Santa Barbara, after COVID required us to postpone our actual wedding until 2021. We only did the event with the two of us, so wanted to ensure we captured the wedding via both photo and video. We looked at ~10 videographers, and Amari's modern and sophisticated website caught our eye. After watching their videos, it was a clear choice. Their style was modern, sophisticated, upbeat, and bright - exactly what we were looking for. We got on a quick call with them and that sealed the deal. Corey and Monique were our assigned videographers who helped us with the day. They arrived early, and were extremely personable from the start. They made us feel very comfortable and kept it very casual like we wanted - giving us a few suggestions for poses/shots, but otherwise blending into the background. We got the first 1 min social video after only about a week, plus a few shorter teasers. All of them were exactly what we were looking for, and put a smile to our faces as we relived the day. The video even made the new mother-in-law cry when she saw it for the first time. We're still waiting on the full cut, but know it will be great so we're writing this review already. We can't recommend Amari enough as a wedding videographer, and would certainly use them again for any other special days - wedding or otherwise. Thanks Amari team! read more

Amari Productions was at my wedding to film my wedding video and then edit and I have to say I COULDN'T be happier! Watching my video feels like I'm reliving the day over and over and over again and it's especially special as both my husband and I agreed the day went by so fast. It's so special having this to look back on, to slow down and relive those moments truly! I couldn't have asked for a better team, from the teams kindness, fun and spunk, and AMAZING talent for both video and editing! Every last detail was perfect. If I had to do things over again, I would hire them 100 times! Screenshots from our wedding video. Thank you thank you thank you! read more

Amari Productions did such a beautiful job, I can not recommend them enough! We added video as a last minute thing and I don't regret it at all. They really captured the vibe we wanted and got all the most important parts captured. I can't wait to rewatch our video every couple of years and remember our special day! read more

We have been following Amari Productions on Youtube since the beginning of our wedding planning journey so we were excited to hear they had our date open and could fly in to work with us! Throughout the process, they were professional and easy to communicate with. The web forms were clear, direct, and easy to fill out. They really took our preferences and made it into a true work of art! Our wedding video was well edited, well thought out, and we particularly loved that Amari captured the day as it was with all its details and intimate moments. We actually loved our highlight video so much that we're having them create a feature film for us too! Our cinematographers, David & Jaan Carlo, were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were kind, polite, professional, and fun to be around! Both were flexible to unexpected delays to our timeline and they worked really well alongside our other vendors (especially our photography team John DeFiora Photography) to make our big day a success! Working with Amari Productions was everything we expected and more! read more

I choose Amari Productions as my videographers for both my bridal shower and my wedding - and I am SO happy I did! I had previously seen their work from friends and family, and knew that they could definitely pull of our vision of capturing our special celebrations. Their unique filmmaking style is beautiful, professional, and unique. Not to mention, their attention to detail is stellar. Their friendly team really makes you feel completely comfortable throughout the process, and they are happy to work with you on whatever requests or ideas you have in mind, which is something that I really appreciated. Very easy to communicate with, and you felt like this was a fun, collaborative effort, not just another job for them. Their team is genuine, and while going through the stress of planning, it's so refreshing having that kind of a creative relationship. I especially like their many options for packages and edits, which also includes an Instagram edit (very cool), as well as teasers, full length feature film, and rough footage. My family and I wanted all the footage we could get, so having these options definitely made us feel at ease that our special events would be completely covered. A big THANK YOU to Amari Productions for not only capturing our special events, but for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. It was a pleasure working with your entire team. read more

My Husband and I loved Amari Productions. The highlight film of our wedding was more beautiful that I could have imagined. Their professionalism is spectacular and friendliness to everyone was more than I can ask for. They were so accommodating and captured the day perfectly. They didn't obstruct the day or the view of the guest. Your team was fantastic throughout the whole process, professional and punctual. Communication was on point via email. My input of how I wanted our film to look was exact. Capturing our special day was priceless. I am forever grateful for hiring you for my wedding. I will have these memories forever. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. read more

We hired Amari Productions for both photography and videography on our wedding day and couldn't recommend them more! Megan, Sage and the rest of the Amari Productions team were incredible to work with throughout the wedding planning process and on the day of. Throughout the planning process, the client portal offers detailed questionnaires in advance, to make sure they capture everything that is important to you. On our wedding day, the entire team of 5 showed up on time, were extremely positive, professional, supportive and easy to work with, making their presence during our wedding day memorable and much appreciated. read more

It was truly awesome getting to work with Amari Productions for our small, covid Arizona wedding. They were super on top of it from the planning and communication perspective, and the execution of the video and end result was flawless. We love the video and I'm so glad we decided to go with Amari. read more

The Amari team was great, I feel like a barely saw them but they captured all this amazing footage and the way they put it together just puts a smile on my face. We gave them little direction and let them use their creative talents and the outcome was truly amazing. Looking at my wedding video just brings me back to all those special moments and reminds me of what a fabulous day it was. They are a great team and you can't go wrong with hiring them! Thank you Amari Productions! read more
