He delivered everything I was looking for and even saved me a bunch of time by going out of his way to get my transferred media trimmed up so there wasn't a bunch of empty space.(which you won't get from some big mail-in transfer company- I know this from first hand experience.) I will be exclusively using his services in the future for all my media transfer needs. Long story short- go with AV Transfer and you will be happy with your choice.

Mike Buffo was a videographer for my fitness testimonial end of 2020, in Monterey, CA. I felt very…read morecomfortable following the few directions Mike led me through to begin. I felt relaxed & confident in front of the screen. What made it so much easier, even though I memorized the script, was having the teleprompter right there within the face of the camera (IPad) so all I had to do was read the script & it looked as if I was looking directly into the camera. Mike operated the camera & interviewed me at the same time, which went smoothly in one take, but we did 2 just as backup. We shot at the golden hour, around 3pm, which made the video/ photos turn out stunning! He also took shots of me posing in workout stances to assist the verbal testimonial. I love the results of both the video & photographs! Overall, Mike Buffo was personable & professional & I would definitely recommend him as your next videographer! Thank you!! Yvonne Foletta :)

I am so glad I hired Adam for my surprise proposal to my girlfriend. Living in SoCal and having…read morenever been to Monterey/Big Sur, I planned my whole proposal based on google searches, reddit threads, and word of mouth. Being a Big Sur/Monterey local, Adam provided extremely helpful insight and feedback for my proposal. He definitely helped relieve a lot of the stress during the planning phase of my proposal. On the day of the actual shoot, the day-of jitters was overwhelming at times, but Adam's energy and demeanor was very centering. He was patient and gave my new fiancee and I space to calm ourselves, and also knew when to take charge and guide us with our poses. He also had amazing and creative ideas for how to pose and brought us to local, reclusive spots to take intimate photos. Best of all, Adam always had a smile on his face and he made us really think like we were supermodels walking the runway haha. If you're going to do any photoshoot, especially a proposal or engagement shoot, in the Big Sur/Monterey area, I would highly recommend getting Adam!!

We finally got married 5/6/23 and Josh did a FANTASTIC job as our videographer! He is a genuinely kind, calm person and is a wonderful human being. He constantly offered to help throughout the day, for example making sure bride and groom both had drinks! As for the video..... he absolutely nailed it. It's romantic, cinematic, and captures all the best moments. My husband got a lump in his throat watching it. It's something we'll treasure for the rest of our lives. Josh is an absolute dream to work with. Don't skimp on the video - it's the only thing that will truly transport you back to that day in the years to come. He is worth every single penny (and then some)! Thank you Josh!!!

We were incredibly fortunate that he was able to squeeze us into his packed summer wedding schedule. Steven was professional, responsive and very accommodating.

Thank you Steven for being a joy to work with, from start to finish, and for capturing the magic of our big day.

His experience filming at our venue was a huge plus for us, but it was his confidence, his easygoing manner, and friendliness that sealed the deal. Leading up to the wedding, Steven was helpful in answering questions and was even gracious enough to accept a last-minute addition to our package which would result in more work for him. He was easy to communicate with and always responsive. The day of the wedding, Steven and his team were on time and extremely professional. They worked well with our photographers. Steven and his team helped coordinate our first look, a special moment that they captured perfectly. My husband (!!) and I are not that comfortable in front of the camera, but with Steven's friendly directions and artistic vision, it was really a painfree process! Through the ceremony, Steven and his team were discreet but always in the corner of my eye, filming and documenting the day. After the day was done, Steven called us to wish us well and gave us some awesome recommendations for restaurants in the area as well. The cinematic video edit is perfect, and to be able to relive the day with a dynamic and kinetic video in addition to our photos was truly a great decision. The transitions in both the cinematic edit and family films are fantastic - nothing is choppy or clunky. From a technical aspect (from a non-technical person) - the videos are beautifully made, using drone shots, well-lit even during our nighttime dancing, with great, clear audio. It's a truly professional production. I know people have differing opinions on whether or not a video is worth it, but I assure you, you won't regret having a videographer, ESPECIALLY if you make the very wise decision of working with Steven. He captured the joy, the celebration, and the voices of our loved ones that we'll get to cherish for life. I can't put a price on being able to share these videos with our loved ones who couldn't make it to the wedding and I'll always be eternally grateful to Steven for working so hard to document one of the best days of my life.
