First and foremost, Victor (our photographer) and Matt (videographer) were amazing. They did a…read moregreat job capturing our special day and if I'm rating them, they get all the stars. The company itself and the manager, Frank, are a different story. We found ConceptOne Photography at a bridal expo that we attended sometime in the Spring/Summer of 2021. Our wedding was October 2022. So we were looking for vendors with plenty of time to make things as less stressful as possible. Out of all the photographers and studios we spoke to, we really liked ConceptOne. It was within budget and offered different services depending on the package you chose. We chose a package that included the engagement shoot and Photo Booth. We also paid for video service that was supposed to have a YouTube link with our wedding video to share with friends and family. We never got that link. We only received our video on a USB drive and it was only after so many emails and calls requesting our video. Our wedding was on October 1st of 2022. We got our wedding albums in the mail, June 8th 2023. Eight whole months after our wedding. Back in March 2023, we were told via email by Sara from ConceptOne, that it would take 4-6 weeks for us to receive our albums in the mail. Eight months is way past the 4-6 weeks that we were told. When I asked for updates, I wouldn't get responses for days and the last email I sent requesting an update went completely unanswered. There were countless phone calls from me and my husband to Frank, the manager. We had left voicemails, and it got to the point where Frank wasn't calling me back, but only calling my husband back. We felt that Frank was giving us the run-around and avoiding us. This is supposed to be a 4-5 star company. If you're so overwhelmed with clients, stop overlapping clients or hire more people. That's not an excuse for you to ignore clients. Frank never ignored our calls when we still had a balance owed, but the second services were paid off, radio silence. It almost made us feel like we got scammed which is not a feeling we want to associate with our wedding day.

My husband and I are incredibly grateful and pleased with the lovely work conducted by Shan and his staff before, during, and after our wedding weekend last November in Miami. We really appreciate the patience, hard work, and talent exhibited by all 3 of them. Even when we thought we possibly couldn't muster the energy and smile to take any more pictures, Mike was sweet and persuasive in his own way and we are just loving all the final work we are witnessing right now in our hands. Thank you!!!

Responsive, an expert at his craft, his wife Agnes was awesome as well. Cannot recommend Emil and his team enough. The best price point we had and the best vendor we had! We are still loving our engagement and wedding photos from last year. He met us downtown for engagement photos and was incredibly flexible. The photos from the wedding were insanely beautiful. And he capped it off last night with our reception a year later. So grateful for Agnes and him. The photo booth he ran was such a hit as well! My friends already have selected him as their photographer/videographer when they eventually get married too. Video was insanely nice and something we will cherish forever. And the photo book was beyond anything we could've expected. Our best vendor by far!! He also was incredibly accommodating with covid splitting our wedding into two years without any issues or hassle.

It was executed flawlessly and I had absolutely no idea Emil was there for us!! Emil got our photos back to us within a day and they. Are. Gorgeous.

You'll be sure to shed a tear, a laugh, and be left with such a warm felt feeling. I found Jaysin through a coworker who had used him, watching that one video, I knew I needed to meet him and have him capture our wedding. Start to finish perfection. We have people still watching our video after 6 months of marriage. I would recommend Jaysin to those brides and grooms who want to invest in a wonderful climatic film that shows the highlights of your big day. 100% WORTH IT! If there is one thing you need to make room for in your wedding budget, its Night Owls Media! https://vimeo.com/145357388 THANK YOU JAYSIN!!

From the get go we knew we were in fabulous hands with Jaysin. His energy, love for his craft, and…read morehis excitement for us as a couple was nothing short of amazing. His advise throughout the process went above and beyond Videography. Something as simple as, 'remember to take deep breaths during the day, the brain needs oxygen to remember all the special moments!' He checked in often with us, always pulse checking, to make sure we were good! On the big day, June 10, 2017, he has his team showed up, ready to go! Their professionalism, energy, excitement to be spending the day with us was exactly what we wanted with all our vendors. By the end of the night, Jaysin and his team were basically part of the family. He and the team got along with all our vendors, which was great, everyone worked so well together. Our family and friends in the bridal party enjoyed having them around too. The constant laughter, calming effect, and overall helpfulness was above and beyond what we had expected. The end products were nothing short of amazing, brought us to tears (happy of course), it was pure perfection! Our trailer came in perfect timing after the wedding, it allowed us to continue on with our wedding high. The final video came while we were on our honeymoon, and it was also amazing, glimpses into things we didn't see. These keepsakes are exactly what we wanted out of our special day. We have, and will continue to recommend NightOwl Media. A major shout out and thanks to Jaysin and his team! Thank you!!!

Formal Wear Rental Review!…read more My husband and I worked with Gerry from Essence Formal Wear to rent his wedding tux (jacket, pants, vest). Gerry was kind to let my husband come into the store a couple of times to try on the rented pieces with other items he purchased to wear.

We are not a couple that loves being…read morein front of a camera, but Alysia gave us prompts and guidance to make us feel comfortable and at ease with so many eyes and cameras on us throughout the day. If I had a nickel for every compliment I have received on our engagement photos or our wedding sneak peek photos (which she got to us in just a few days!), I feel like I'd come close to covering the cost of our wedding. In addition to complimenting our photos, our friends and family also complimented the photography/videography team for their respectful approach in capturing the day without barking out orders and directions as I'm sure everyone has witnessed at one wedding or another. Throughout the planning process, Alysia was always available via text, phone call, or email answering questions and offering expert recommendations, providing me reassurance that we were in good hands for the big day. We loved Alysia's guidance throughout the process, her respectful command of our group day-of, and her comfortable direction of us during our (free) engagement shoot and wedding day, not to mention the beautifully edited photos! Alysia met all of our expectations and more and we would recommend her to all of our family and friends. We might have to throw another wedding just to have her capture it again!

I loved how my sister's pictures had turned out and she raved about Alysia, the team and the whole process. It was an easy choice to make when it came to my wedding and Alysia was one of the first vendors I booked! Overall, the entire process was so easy and calm. Alysia's pre-wedding process was so straightforward and she was great with coming up with suggestions on places to shoot our wedding photos. Alysia and her team were amazing to work with during our ceremony and reception as well. We didn't have to worry about anything and we got the photos and video footage that we wanted. The picture quality and shots are GORGEOUS and I cannot stop looking at the pictures! We also were able to do the film package as a trial for the company and we were blown away by those photos as well. They gave us a bit of nostalgia from our childhoods and were such a different type of photo but absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend adding it onto a photo package! Alysia was so helpful in helping us curate the vibe we were looking for in our wedding photos. She was so creative during our photo shoot and amazing photos resulted from that! Alysia and the team are also so friendly and personable which made taking photos so much fun! One of the photographers even gave me her coat to warm up after we were outside for awhile by the river in some pretty cold temperatures and wind. Overall, all of our photos, digital and film, and our video are absolutely stunning and I could not have asked for better and more beautiful photos (or people) to capture our wedding day! I would recommend Alysia and S2 Photos + Cinema to anyone and everyone!
