We love Luma House!

On the day of, he did a fantastic job of coordinating with our photographer and managing to be is all the key places he needed to be. I don't know how he managed this! Paul got some amazing shots, but what was even more impressive is the post production work he does to overlay various audio elements from the ceremony and music choices. We gave Paul a list of half a dozen songs we love and ones that were featured in our wedding and he turned our film into a masterpiece. He was so incredibly creative with how he used our musical selection and I never expected how truly thoughtful his work would turn out. And to top it off, his pricing is extremely reasonable as well as his payment policies. Compared to all other vendors that basically make you pay for everything before you receive any services, his policies include a very logical payment schedule. The process was so fun and I would have never thought I would want to watch this film so much. I figured I would just have something nice to show years down the road, but the film really makes you want to re-watch several times and remember a day that can turn into such a blur. Personality-wise, Paul is very laid back and the easiest person to work with. Thank you thank you, Paul!!!! You are a master :) You better reach out before your date is booked up.

I hate being in front of a camera when it comes to video. They made me feel so comfortable and after a while I didn't even notice the cameras. When it came down to the editing, Tim was really great about making changes according to our feedback so that our video would be really personal. We love our video and watching it brings us back to that very special day. I highly recommend Ridge Production to anyone looking for a unique and personal wedding video.

We had an awful experience with Ridge Productions! Once we received our wedding video back we were…read morein shock that this is the work of a professional company. Important moments during our ceremony were omitted from the video. I had made a special audio for my husband, a prayer for us, for our walk and this was left out of the video!! We did a mash up dance that was also omitted from the video! Our cousins did a fabulous dance for us that was also left out! WHY? These are important moments of the wedding! It should be noted that I had communicated with Ridge Productions before our wedding that these special moments must be included in the video. During another important moment, the marriage contract, the entire video footage was shaky, I felt like my 7 year old nephew could have taken better footage. So careless at such a sensitive time! To make matters worse the audio during our marriage ceremony and contract was way off and didn't match the video. What is going on? During our speeches, the coloring of the video was off and again, shaky footage. I just can't understand how you could do this for someone's wedding? We paid for the Platinum package, which was the highest package available. Doing this with an expectation that we would be pleased with the results. To our dismay, we were beyond disappointed! Through my interactions with Ridge via email, and phone, I really tried to work this out and edit the video. After the 1st edit I was shocked that what I received still had the same issues!! I was so sad and it was so hard to even look at the video again to make notes for our 2nd round. I finally sat down and worked on all my notes. The owner Tim completely blew me off and said there is nothing else he can do for us!!! WHAT?? Our contract states we are entitled to 2 edits. We didn't even get 1 edit because our video was never in a normal state. There was so much work and issues with the original video. Now we have to pay to get our video edited by another videographer. I STRONGLY ADVISE YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS VENDOR. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY! BIG FAIL!

Jason & Hilary are fantastic. And you should absolutely use them to capture a special day…read more We used Jason for our wedding and engagement photography. We told them that photography was our second priority for the whole wedding (behind venue). We wanted our photos to capture the moments our memories would fade. We wanted them to capture the guests' emotions, the secret moments we shared between all the craziness of our wedding, and we wanted our photos to capture our personalities so that it didn't feel staged, but felt authentic to our relationship. And they delivered. We are so, so happy with our wedding and engagement photos on the beach! Hilary was super helpful on the day - she helped me (Bride) put earrings in because my nails were too long. She helped the boys place their ties in the right spot. She held my dress while we walked so it didn't get all dirty. She was able to predict little needs we all had before we even knew we needed them. Hilary is amazing. Jason is such a magnificent photographer. He loves to capture the world happening around a couple - the trees, the water, the mountains. If you want to feel like you're a lucky human dropped in the middle of a stunning landscape painting, he is your photographer. Also, we got all of our photos so promptly. They were edited beautifully. Jason doesn't over edit and make it feel ridiculous. He left the little realities of me and my husband that make us... Us. And I love that. We'll find a reason to rehire Jason again in the future. And we think you should, too.

We would strongly recommend not hiring Jason Berry Photography. We hired this vendor for our…read morewedding, and we had a negative experience both in terms of the photography product we received and also in terms of the vendor's unprofessional conduct towards us as clients. We were initially most excited for Jason Berry amongst all our vendors, but there were a number of issues, incidents and disappointments. In terms of product, we were displeased with our gallery. His skill is obvious and other albums gorgeous, so we were frustrated and upset to see less than five bridal portrait shots, and all taken in a messy area, in addition to other missing or poor photos. He circulated a survey to us before the wedding, and we identified exactly the kinds of photos we wanted, among other preferences. We selected the "Wedding Collection 3" package for $3200, with 8 hours with two photographers, and we requested the advertised 10% off from the Wedding Wire discount. Part of the package included a "Wedding day timeline and engagement session consultation," yet the photographer was unresponsive and only available to consult while we were driving to Rehearsal Dinner two days beforehand. We exchanged an engagement shoot typically required in the package, and included one extra hour the day-of where we hoped would accommodate for more time to take portrait shots, especially since we explicitly planned the reception to be a five-minute drive from the church. But many photos were un-usable in terms of blinking, looking away, etc. At the reception, he promised us sneak peaks in the next few days. We were excited. We reached out to him a few days after the wedding, but he told us he was unavailable to provide us with sneak peaks that week due to personal commitments. He made us feel like a nag, yet it's the vendor's responsibility to communicate a change in expectation. We later checked instagram and noticed he'd posted photos of us but didn't share or tag us (even though we shared this info in the survey). This leads into our experience with his professional conduct and customer service, which was upsetting and insulting. Out of excitement, we agreed in advance to purchase an album for $850, but based on the issues above, we requested a refund over a phone call. We simply did not have enough of a variety of usable photos in the gallery to provide a selection to him to create an album. (He also initiated but never followed up on scheduling a meeting where we could go through the photos together when he initially shared the album with us.) Jason refused, and he complained it was due to my wife's church's "shitty lighting." Again, the premises were large, he had time to check out the lighting beforehand and come up with the game plan. We suggested beforehand to take portraits at the reception venue, which he said wouldn't be necessary. So, he offered to have us choose "a few frames and canvases" instead of the album. Yet when we did from his website, earnestly spending a great deal of time picking out an equal value of frames and canvases, he chastised us for choosing too many. He provided no guidelines, so we assumed we could choose a selection equal to the price of the album (850). He became very aggressive and confrontational and still chose not to provide us with any direction (e.g. product dimensions) besides sending over 2 file names. We would urge prospective clients to avoid Jason Berry Photography. We did not receive the services paid for or expected, nor were we treated with respect. A photographer could preserve life's most precious occasions. Regrettably, our experience made this occasion more stressful, painful and very frustrating. While it's difficult to write a poor review of a wedding vendor, we feel obligated to share our experience.

My son's bar mitzvah is coming up and I'm using the majority of the same vendors I used for my…read moredaughter's a few years ago. For my daughter's montage I used our videographer in the Chicago North Shore who did an amazing job, but it was extremely expensive. When I sat down after to decide where I could cut back for my son's finding a more affordable option for the montage was on the list. I got a list of options from my event planner and friends including Mitzvah Montage. I reached out to Gary back in July and found his work to be impressive and his pricing to be very fair, but ultimately decided to go with someone else who was local in the Chicago North Shore. I was just about to send my pics to who I had hired for our montage when I received an email that his computer broke and due to lost templates he was no longer able to make our montage. Eek. I started scrambling to find someone new with 6 weeks to spare when I remembered my correspondence with Gary months earlier. I reached out and he responded immediately that they were still available. Phew! Gary has a very organized process- probably more organized than the videographer I used for my daughter's. I followed his format and then sent him all the pictures via wetransfer, which proved to be a little difficult since my computer doesn't allow wetransfer. Fortunately, i was able to figure it out on my husband's computer. From there I received one email from Gary with a few clarification questions and then they got to work. Gary was very clear from the beginning that we would receive the montage 10 days before the event...maybe earlier. A friend of mine had also used Gary and received hers way before the 10 day mark (and didn't give him nearly as much lead time) so I expected to have it at least 3 weeks beforehand. However, we received it exactly 10 days beforehand (as Gary promised) which made me a little nervous since our DJ typically requires 2 weeks beforehand to test. Fortunately, the first review Gary provided was near perfect and he made the little photo addition I had within one day. However, when I use mitzvah montage again in the future (and i likely will for kid #3) I may request receiving it at least 2 weeks beforehand. Overall a very positive experience and in the 24 hours I've had the montage I've watched it at least 20 times. I can't wait to show it to everyone, but love that i have something so special documenting the first 13 years of my son's life to keep forever.

They were great; very professional, on time, stayed through the end of the wedding (I think this may have been longer than we contracted them for). Gary is sensitive to budgets and really worked with us to customize a package that we could afford. He was so kind, flexible and reasonable we even referred him to a friend who was also getting married at the same time and they booked him for their wedding and loved him as well. Gary met with us and walked us through samples of coverage and made us feel comfortable signing the contract with him (no pressure). The final product, the video, was great. He was able to turn it around in time for us to give it as gifts for the Holidays. He captured all the "must-see" moments and also edited out some falls and embarrassing moments (thanks Gary!). We're very happy with the services he provided and would (and have) recommend him to anyone.

I needed a videographer for my daughter's first birthday party and my videographer that I had used…read morefor past events was unavailable. However he referred me to Cana Wedding Films and I am so glad he did! Ken and his crew really exceeded my expectations. They arrived early and were very professional. They listened to what I wanted and captured all the special moments of my daughter's big day. We had about 60 guests at the party, but Ken managed to figure out who was family and include them all in the video. Also they are so unobtrusive, you hardly realize that they were there. The final product was so beautifully edited with great music, it was like my daughter's own little wedding montage. I'm a little obsessed with detail shots and he captured all the desserts, food, decorations and her little outfits. Yes outfits, there were wardrobe changes, which he captured as well! (I'm telling you, it was like it was her wedding). I highly recommend Cana Wedding Films. Ken will work with your budget too, although you would never know by the end product. Also he offers edits, but I didn't even need them. And I'm picky! The turn around time was pretty quick even though it was during the holidays and he was so accommodating when I asked if I could meet him on New Years Eve to pick up the DVD. Excellent customer service! I will definitely use him again.

I highly recommend Ken and his team at Cana Wedding Films. Ken did a great job filming our wedding…read moreand editing the clips to create a personal video that really captured the day and our feelings throughout the day. Before the wedding, Ken's team worked closely with me to understand what I wanted for my video. Ken came to see the venue on a site visit with me in order to plan the filming. Cana asked about our tastes and the types of music that we wanted to use. On the day of the wedding, Cana sent two videographers for my wedding and they collaborated well with the photographer and wedding coordinators. I had no problems with the team whatsoever during the day of the wedding and that's all you can really ask for on the day of your wedding. Cana provided me with a highlights video, a full length, and all of the raw footage from the day. I absolutely loved the work they did with the highlights video and the full length. They obviously spent a great deal of time putting the clips and the music together. The sound came out very crisp because they recorded it from the DJ. Our full length video included the important parts of the ceremony, clips from all the major events and all of the speeches. If you've shopping around, you will know that Cana offers a very reasonable rate for the services they offer. I am very satisfied with what Ken provided for me and I am well aware that Ken charged far less than other videographers for the same quality of work. I highly recommend Cana wedding films for your special day.

Let me just begin this review by saying LA color is simply amazing!…read more We started working with Taky 3-month before our wedding, b/c we wanted to create a cute little clip to tell our love story at our wedding. Some of our guests are our parents' friends, so they don't necessarily know me and my husband that well. I showed Taky an only clip I liked and had a few ideas myself, but had no idea how to execute them at all. Taky was so patient listening to my ideas and brainstorming with us. My husband and I obviously are not professional actors, so I was worried that the clip would come out to be super awkward. However, Taky's easygoing personality and sense of humor made the filming process very fun and easy. We were laughing the whole time while we filmed, and were even able to incorporate our dog in our video which really meant a lot to us! The final product definitely exceeded my expectation and it was a huge hit at our wedding! On our wedding day, the whole team (3 photographers and 2 videographers) showed up earlier than their appointment time to capture our makeup session and wedding prep. That was such a nice gesture and I was not expecting it at all. Taky and Sam, having been through countless weddings before, have their unique eyes and ways in capturing the spirit of the wedding. They simply get it and show sincere appreciation of the amount of work the bride puts into the wedding, so they captured an incredible amount of details that otherwise would have been missed. My wedding was a Chinese/American fusion wedding and I love every single moment they captured for me during the tea ceremony. Not to mention the same day edit was the highlight of the wedding without a doubt. Like most brides, I was very conscious about our budget, but let me just say every single dollar we pay for the service provided by LA color is well worth its value and much more. It has been the best decision I made for my wedding, apart from marrying my husband on that day. =P Definitely a 5-star team who l would trust 100% to preserve the memory of that special day for you in its best possible way! http://lacolorblog.com/?10184-Michelle-and-Calvin-Wedding-at-Palos-Verdes-Golf-Club

He did an amazing job editing and putting everything together. For the price I paid, this is totally worth it. He didn't waste a single part of the dvd, he asked for slideshows, engagement pictures, etc. I just love how I can take out the dvd and watch it and it has everything! My favorite feature about the dvd is the highlight (great editing), the photo session (this was amazing, i love how he worked with Sam - the photographer of LA Color and came up with this session, it is just so cool. i can't explain it in words you have to watch a sample from them!), dedications (i love how he asked my closes friends and families to say a few good things to us, the married couple, it was definitely a nice touch), and the bloopers (it is really funny!). Taky and his team were on time and were there with me for the whole duration that our contract was signed for. I highly recommend Taky for videographer - he's quick thinking, easy going, friendly, funny, efficient and talented., AND most of all VERY responsive! definitely a HUGE plus when you're wedding planning! You will not regret hiring Taky -- trust me!
