The second photographer, Jenn, she killlled it with all the groom's photos. So many awesome snaps were taken for me to look back on moments I missed throughout the day. Some amazing shots of my guests just enjoying themselves have been my favorite to look back at. Thank you so so much to Pauleen , Dustin, and Jenn!! Also, before Dustin entered my bridal suite, Pauleen asked if it was okay for him to enter, and I think even her going that extra step to ask if he could enter really was so sweet and I am so touched she was so thoughtful. During my big day when I just felt like Mickey Mouse smiling for the crowd, Pauleen and Dustin kept the energy upbeat and kept reminding me to breathe. Loved them so much!! Can't imagine my day without them. We also snuck into the Windmill Food Hall arcade to sneak some photos since we were so good on our timeline and they turned out to be some of my favorite photos!

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.

I am late in writing this review since our event was in November last year however I felt it is…read moreimportant 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.

If you're looking for a photographer to capture memories from all kinds of events, Sam Fu is the…read moreone to go with. My husband and I got married on October 10, 2025, at the Hilton Lake Las Vegas. As you may recall, it rained quite heavily around that time. We were supposed to have an outdoor wedding, but due to the rain, we ended up having an indoor ceremony. However, Sam Fu is a very considerate photographer. He planned his shooting schedule so that we could take our first look photos while the weather was still good, before it started raining at the outdoor venue where our floral arch and decorations were set up. He also took us around the hotel to take many gorgeous photos! No matter if it's an indoor or outdoor shot, a portrait or landscape, a close-up or full-size shot, you will be amazed by his gorgeous compositions. He will guide you through all the motions when you're lost, and everything will turn out very well when you see the photos! During the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, he captured all the touching moments, such as my husband and me entering separately, saying our vows, putting rings on each other's fingers, people toasting, crying, hugging, cutting the cake, and giving gifts. My husband is very picky. After seeing Sam Fu's work, he chose him over many other photographers. Now, my husband is proof. Sam Fu is a magician who can preserve all your good memories. Thank you Sam Fu! You're the best!

Even though we only had 1-2 meetings beforehand to go over details, they came prepared and provided thoughtful advice on different photo locations. On the day of the wedding, my coordinator was running late and, as the bride, I was already busy with makeup.

Their professionalism and initiative made everything run smoothly, and I couldn't be more grateful.

The photos came in the exact time she quoted us but the edits look like pictures taken and edited off an iPhone. Not happy with them. I had to re-crop and edit majority of all photos as best I could as all the edits completely washed out our skin tone, the colors of the sky etc. I asked for the raws so I could just edit them myself from scratch and it's been 2 weeks and still haven't received them. Didn't remind us or inform to take phones/wallets out of pockets so those just look lovely in all our photos **sarcasm**. Book with someone else who knows what they're doing and takes their time on special memories like this. Updating my review! Got some of the raws back a day after making my review, which was nice of her to send as she said she didn't usually do so, but the quality of the photos look like they were taken on an iPhone..it was nice to see some of the photos that didn't come through as finals. Aside from how the photos came out, the one positive was that Anel was easy to communicate with and nice overall!!

Although I generally prefer not to post negative criticism, the profound disappointment regarding…read moreour wedding photography has stayed with me for the past two years. I am deeply saddened by the outcome of the photos provided by this company. We were initially promised a specific photographer, 'Josh,' based on his recommended portfolio. However, only one week before our wedding, we were assigned 'Anel,' whose work we had never seen. On our wedding day, the level of professionalism and quality of work was unacceptable: Lack of direction: There was little to no guidance on posing or lighting. The photographer made comments like, 'What was that?' or 'What's that face?' instead of providing constructive direction. Poor Technical Execution: Many family photos feature heavy, unflattering shade cast across faces. Across the entire collection, there is only one usable, direct shot of my husband and me facing the camera. Absenteeism: During the cocktail hour, which we hired the photographer to cover, the photographer was found sitting in the dressing room instead of actively taking candid photos of our guests. I actually had to seek out the photographer to initiate coverage of the event. Frankly, the final delivered collection lacked the quality and professional execution we would expect from a paid vendor. It felt like paying a friend to snap photos, not a professional with an understanding of lighting and composition. A further point of concern: not a single photo from our wedding has ever been featured on the company's website or social media. We anticipated a high level of work based on the company's advertised portfolio, and what we received fell far short of that professional standard.

Magdalena and Matt were an absolute dream team to work with. They traveled from San Diego to the…read moreBay Area to film our wedding, and we couldn't be more grateful that we chose them. From the moment they arrived, they were professional, warm, and incredibly dedicated. Magdalena, despite being far along in her pregnancy, was on her feet all day and moving with agility to capture every special moment. Their calm energy made the entire experience feel effortless. During the day, we could remain present with our friends and family without being overly conscious of the cameras. We were truly blown away by our highlight story. It captured the heart of our wedding day: the laughter, the love, the tears, and the voices of our friends and family. There were even tender private moments, like side glances and kisses, that made me realize how my husband and I express our love for one another. Her films portray such raw emotions and authenticity, which really stand out against other generic wedding videos. Magdalena is a masterful storyteller, weaving our vows and guest speeches with the right combination of imagery and sounds. Each time I watch it (and I can't stop watching it over and over!), I find new details to fangirl over, like the flick of my veil hitting the beat of the music perfectly. She really understood that, for us, the wedding day extends beyond our love for one another and to our new, blended families. My sister was not able to make our wedding due to health issues, and Magdalena managed to incorporate a snippet of our video call to include her. Additionally, she highlighted such sweet candid moments between us and our parents as we were getting ready and dancing together. These interactions, our unique mannerisms, our relationships with one another -- these are the things I'll be cherishing for years and years to come. We are so grateful to Nena Films, and highly recommend them to capture your special day! You'll get so much more than you expected!

I wanted a video that felt authentic, timeless, and not overly commercial if that makes sense. Magdalena achieved exactly what my partner and I were looking for! She is so talented and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding videographer. She is such a genuine, kind, and cool human. She is very communicative and goes above and beyond to understand your needs. My entire bridal party raved about her and her partner Cris! I am usually very camera shy but she seamlessly managed to capture all of the wonderful moments and emotions of our big day. I initially hesitated to get videography for our wedding due to budget constraints, but looking back, I am so glad because videos convey the day so much better than photos do. We get to relive moments that only happen once in a lifetime. Two months after our wedding, unfortunately, our sweet dog passed away and Magdalena was able to include snippets of her in our video. I'm grateful to have this video to cherish forever, it is now my favorite movie and I tear up watching it! Our friends and family stated that the video was beautiful. THANK YOU so much Magdalena for everything you do!

We had our wedding in August of 2025, and the videography Charlie and his team provided was way…read morebeyond my expectations. We were a last-minute booking for him and his team. Charlie was able to find a person to cover our wedding just a couple days before the wedding date. He has excellent examples of different styles of videography they could provide and what that pricing would look like. Charlie's website is perfectly user-friendly and was precise in their package descriptions and pricing. We personally did not want cinematic style videography that would require a lot of editing on their end. We wanted raw footage that we could keep for generations to show to our future children and grandchildren. The videographer did a phenomenal job at recording the ceremony and some of the reception in an authentic way that encapsulated the feeling of one of the greatest days of our lives. The videographer that covered our wedding, Stephen Daniels, had an exceptional understanding of Charlie's expectations on customer service. Charlie was constantly responsive before the big day and clear about when we should expect the files after the wedding. When he offered additional services in the emails, he presented it in a way that demonstrated his genuine care for weddings and events and not just an "upsell." I could see Charlie's customer service extend to Stephen. Stephen and Charlie knew we went with the most affordable package. Even so, Stephen set up a higher quality microphone and brought two cameras for backup. Charlie's website explains other services he could provide such as DJ-ing. Luckily, my husband is a DJ, but we did have quite a few live singers at our reception. Although we could not afford the microphone package for sound on the live singers, Stephen took the time out of recording to help one of the live singers with their sound quality on their devices. Our wedding was genuinely a DIY wedding ran by the power of Hashem and our community. When Stephen walked into the ceremony space, the most prominent visual part of our wedding, the Chuppah, a canopy in which many Jewish ceremonies take place was not set up. Stephen took time to help our friends and staff with the chuppah. Charlie and Stephen were not required to go beyond expectations, but they did that and then some. Although Charlie markets his work as "cheap videography," he certainly does not cheap out on the quality of their customer service and work. We were close to deciding on cutting out videography from our budget, but we are so pleased we chose to prioritize it as an essential part of our wedding day. https://youtu.be/FiME9qY3UMk?si=NK6riLqz9mXp9z3o

He also edits amazing videos if you have a bigger videography budget than we do...and want the full superstar experience. After seeing samples of his work, my husband and I knew that we could trust Stephen to just "do his thing" so we gave him our schedule of events and asked him to video the components that made the most sense to him and the video looks gorgeous. Because his camera looks a little unconventional, many of our guests thought he was one of the photographers so we also have some hilarious clips. And, our photographer loved working with Stephen. Stephen knows how to get the footage he needs to make your day memorable with you and your photographer barely noticing him throughout the day. We were so grateful for both Stephen's calm confidence in the work he produces and the footage we received. My husband and I (and all of our guests who have seen the footage) absolutely love his work and highly recommend him!

After seeing their awesome videos on Instagram, we knew we needed to have them film our wedding. Beyond having amazing reviews that highlighted Ryan's great communication and super professional team, we really liked how Ryan used innovative techniques like flying a drone over the ceremony site to capture a different perspective. When we reached out to Ryan, we got an immediate response and a list of his pricing. Ryan let us know that he worked a lot at our venue, Green Gables Wedding Estate, and knew the staff and how they operated really well. This was awesome news for us since it meant less to coordinate on our end! It was super easy to find the best video package for us and there were even video extras like a "best wishes video" from our guests which was a fun addition. Throughout the process, Ryan's communication was superb and helped keep us on track. A few weeks before the wedding, Ryan sent us a reminder email with items he needed from us for the big day so we didn't overlook anything. On the day of, Ryan and Zack (his second shooter) were super personable and friendly which made the video experience fun and not awkward like you might assume it would be. Even though it was the first time they worked with our photography team, they did a great job of looking for opportunities to get video while we were posed for photos so we didn't have to duplicate poses. We both felt like rockstars with the prompts they gave us and are so excited to see the final video. We would definitely recommend anyone looking for an awesome videographer to use Ryan. The main regret we hear from other married couples is that they did not get a videographer for their wedding day. DON'T BE THAT COUPLE! Look no further and go with Ryan and his team and I promise you will not be disappointed. They are so fun and easy to work with and I am so glad that we went with them. Thank you so much, Ryan and Zack, you guys are the best!!

My wife and I were married in March 2025 and initially contracted Ryan Films for a teaser and highlight video. We received the teaser and were very pleased with it. Based on the quality of that work, we then paid for an additional cinematic video so we could more fully relive our wedding day. However, the highlight video and full cinematic video have still not been delivered--now over one year later. We were informed of a personal emergency via a third party and responded with patience and understanding. Over the following months, we made several attempts to follow up but received no response. After continued non-delivery, we requested the raw footage as an alternative. In February, a team member, Madi, confirmed the footage had been shipped and provided a tracking number; however, the label was created and the package was never sent. We have not received any updates since, despite repeated follow-ups. These videos are incredibly important to us and contain irreplaceable memories, including moments with loved ones who are no longer with us. We trusted Ryan Films to capture our wedding day and asked guests not to record, believing those memories would be preserved through their work. We entered into this agreement in good faith, and while the teaser we received was beautiful, the lack of delivery and communication since has been extremely disappointing. We hope this matter is resolved, but if not, we are prepared to pursue further action, including legal remedies.
