Can't believe it's been two months since our special wedding day, but with Tri Luu Films, my wife…read moreand I are able to relive the lovely memories from that day forever. Many months before the wedding, I searched for videographers and wedding video packages that suited our taste, where we wanted candid, yet dreamy/fairytale shots of our day, along with videos of our ceremonies (tea ceremony & Western ceremony), all while being within a certain budget. After sending in quotes and meeting with some videographers, it was a challenge to find the one that really matched what we needed. Luckily, I got in touch with Tri Luu Films through one of the wedding sites that recommended him, and saw some of his work on Vimeo, including a wedding short that was at the venue we were getting married at. Tri was such a pleasure to work with from the get-go. He met with us to talk about our ideal style and "must captures," and knowing that he was familiar with our venue in San Jose as well as having experience with capturing tea ceremonies is really what sold us. They were even onboard when I mentioned that I would be surprising the bride with a musical performance during the reception, and were able to capture that. On the day of, Tri Luu and his team were fantastic - incredibly professional, kind, and understanding of timeline shifts. Something I really appreciated was that they know when it's appropriate to step-in and give advice on good video shots versus when to be more in the background and let the photographers do their thing. Our wedding video package included a trailer, wedding short, and a documentary. The trailer was great and made me hyped to see the rest of the filming, and it also got to us less than three weeks from the wedding! The wedding short film I liked because it included some short lines from vows, speeches, dances, and ceremonies and various snippets from the wedding. The documentary, though, was definitely what I was waiting for - over an hour of great footage, edited chronologically for us to relive the best day of my life. I could tell it was done with great care because everything flowed well, there were transitions showing off the venue where the next part of the wedding was at, and the background music was perfect. Couldn't be more impressed with Tri Luu Films, and I wholeheartedly recommend Tri to anyone needing a wedding videographer!

While he was panicking on the phone trying to find someone who knew a videographer, I did a Yelp search and decided to call Bay Tiger. I explained our "emergency" to Ken when he answered the phone. He said he could probably help us so I handed the phone over to my husband. They quickly worked out the details and agreed on a budget, at which point Ken abandoned his Sunday workout, got in the car and made it to Menlo Park in time to shoot the film that was needed. He also did some quick turnaround editing-as in overnight. While I didn't interact with him beyond the initial phone contact, my husband said that he was extremely professional and very good at what he does. I was tremendously impressed that not only did he answer his phone on a Sunday, he was willing to turn his day upside down to accommodate our request.

Video is a huge part of our vibe, as people from around the world need to see what all this hype is about. Ken certainly captured our day in review perfectly. He put more time and effort into it than we could have imagined. He was well-underpaid for his work ethic, production, shooting capabilities and editing. What Ken is excellent at is reading our vibe...our feel...and making sure we, the customer, are very happy with the output. Video is our best source of marketing and Ken has put together our best marketing piece yet. I am safe and relieved to say, we have found our man!!!! I HIGHLY recommend Ken for any event you may have, as he will give you quality shots, great energy, excellent editing and a heart to make sure you are happy with the final piece. Thanks Ken!!! Until our next shoot!!! Matt

I sent an email one night and got a response from Mared so quickly that it almost felt too good to be true. While some brides want the all-inclusive venue with everything provided, I really didn't care about expensive fancy chairs, in-house catering, florals, etc. I just wanted a space that allowed me to DIY as much as I could. Mac House provided me with the perfect blank slate that actually ended up having some bells and whistles that helped elevate my basic set-up, like customizable lighting and a convenient roll-up door that served as the perfect spot for our taco caterer. The team was very friendly and accommodating throughout the entire process and made me feel so comfortable in their space. Following their Instagram page, I learned that, aside from the amazing video production work they do, they are also involved in a variety of humanitarian initiatives. I'm happy to have been introduced to such an interesting local business and will stay in touch, even if just to root them on in their endeavors.

The #1 perk about Mac House has to be the flexibility of the space. Not only is there a large open…read morelobby, but there's also an entire studio in the back waiting to be decorated. The studio was large enough for 100 or so guests, 13 tables, two bars (one alcohol and one water/coffee/tea, and food buffet - plus a dance floor for everyone to dance on. Best of all, unlike many venues, you're welcome to use any vendor (party rentals, catering, etc) that you want. This was a huge plus for us! With a little imagination, we were able to transform the entire space to fit the 'Dancing Under The Stars' theme we dreamt up for our wedding reception. Since they're a video production studio, it was super easy talking with them about how to light the entire space. At the end of that night, my wife and I, and all our guests had the most wonderful evening!

Sean created a beautiful, heartfelt video that showcased the transformation of our upper-grade classrooms while capturing the excitement and vision for our upcoming K-3 classroom redesign.

The finished video perfectly reflected our school's commitment to our children, our families, and our community. It was one of the most impactful moments of the evening and helped tell the story behind our fundraising efforts in a meaningful and inspiring way. Sean was creative, professional, and a pleasure to work with. He offered thoughtful recommendations while also listening carefully to our ideas, making sure the final product reflected our vision. His ability to capture the heart of our school and bring it to life on screen exceeded our expectations.

Not only was the video work of excellent quality, but Sean was fantastic to work with -- I had some very specific ideas around both the montages as well as the final video and Sean was incredibly collaborative, open to feedback, and easy to work with to make sure what was delivered was what we were looking for. Also, his rates were reasonable... I felt he was very fair in what he charged, especially given the very high quality. We're very, very happy with the final product and grateful for Sean for all the hard (and good) work he put into this. I highly recommend Kurtela Video Productions!

Louise encouraged me to get a friend to record something for me. Oct 14, explained that I was confused by that reasons that keep changing and that I want to record my video. Oct 14, Louise wrote back to tell me that, for a variety of reasons, they are afraid they can't do it for me. First it was Doug wanting to take a vacation. Turns out, Doug actually took a bigger project. Then the problem was that the staff was "still cautious". Then the problem was a variety of unspecified reasons.
