She was super personable, down to earth and enjoyable to interact with before, during and after. She made wedding guests feel comfortable when shooting their video commentary which helped add humorous moments to the occasion and captured all of the special moments in unique and creative ways. She processed edits timely and flawlessly and produced an excellent final video presentation. Fast forward 15 years after my wedding, my father (Daddy-O) who walked me down the wedding aisle passed away suddenly. I wanted to incorporate portions of my wedding video that show my Daddy-O smiling, dancing, laughing and living his best life into his memorial slideshow presentation, however, I got divorced and couldn't find my wedding video. I contacted Peri in hopes she still had it, and she was able to confirm within a matter of minutes that she saved my video footage. Peri provided a test video for me to download to make sure it was compatible with the video editing software i'm using for my Daddy-O's slideshow. Once I confirmed it was a compatible file type, she provided a secondary high resolution file to download, all within a few days which will help me complete my father's slideshow presentation in time for his memorial. Thank you, Peri! Look no further. Peri is your girl! Big Time Video Services is your perfect solution before, during and after. Literally.

Working with BigTime Video Services and Peri Basseri, the owner and visionary, was a great…read moreexperience. From my first phone call with Peri, I knew I liked her. She was extremely helpful, down to earth and just sort of got it. She makes modern wedding videos that don't go on for hours, and finds the most touching, poignant moments. Truth be told: I was not 100% sold on a wedding video, but my mom (a psycho-therapist) told me it was a good idea for years to come of how we felt on that day. I'm very glad we did do the video because it captures the day's emotions in a totally different way than still photography and with all the excitement of the day, its hard to remember every detail (or impossible otherwise to see different perspectives).... and our wedding was only a few months ago! I really appreciate Peri's genuine/ positive/ caring attitude, there is nothing pretentious or high pressure about her. She is extremely responsive and present. These characteristics are important in enjoying the time we spent together, around our guests and to getting the best, most authentic wedding video. Peri obviously loves what she does, she listens to clients and provides a great end product. We will enjoy our wedding video for years to come!!

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!!

From the location, to the nearby restaurant recommendations, and of course the perfect photos, Chris made everything so clear and easy.

You can tell how much he cares about his clients and his genuine love for the work he does. My new fiancé and I are so proud to show off these photos to our loved ones and will cherish them forever.

He provided clear, detailed instructions on how to reach the location and shared helpful tips--like sending him our live location and a selfie in our proposal outfits so he could easily identify us. That level of preparation made the entire experience feel seamless and stress-free. What really stood out was how thoughtfully he planned everything. He made sure the spot was free of crowds and blended in perfectly as a "nature photographer," which kept the surprise completely intact. On the day of the proposal, Chris was punctual, professional, and incredibly patient. He spent about an hour with us, capturing such beautiful, genuine moments--all with a warm and friendly attitude that made us feel comfortable throughout. He also delivered the photos promptly, and the quality exceeded our expectations. One thing I especially appreciated was his integrity. Even though his pricing had increased between the time I booked and the actual shoot, he honored the original rate without hesitation. That says a lot about his character. Overall, I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking to capture a special moment. He played a big role in making our day unforgettable.

It took months of constant communication on our end just to get any raw footage. They do not respond back to any emails, texts or phone calls.

On the day of our wedding, we received a brief 1.5-minute video montage. Since then, we have received no additional photos or videos. The day after our wedding (8/23/25), Ernie and Fiona sent an email stating delivery would occur within 8-12 weeks and that previews would be shared within one week. Aside from the short montage that we had already received, those timelines were not met. On October 30, 2025, we received a general email acknowledging significant delays and communication issues. While the message expressed awareness of the problem, we have still received no deliverables, no specific timeline, and no meaningful follow-up. As of today, it has been 17 weeks since our wedding. We have also attempted to schedule and attend a phone appointment with the vendors (most recently on 12/19/25 at 1:45 PM PST), which they did not attend or respond to. Repeated efforts to communicate directly have gone unanswered.

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.

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.
