They have a very extensive portfolio on their website, which I loved as it really gave me a sense of the style of filming and editing they do. Once I sent an inquiry, Christina was very responsive and informative. She was also great with communicating with us and our other vendors the few weeks leading up to the wedding, making sure her team's equipment would work with our DJ's audio setup. On wedding day, Christina was absolutely lovely to work with. As someone with no experience being on camera, I loved that she gave tips on suggested movements to make that appeared really natural and beautifully on camera. She made us feel at ease with all the advice. Christina's ability to speak Chinese was a great bonus - it made coordinating with our Chinese-speaking family members much easier and kept everyone on the same page. The finished products turned out amazing. I couldn't be happier with the videos provided and how well everything turned out. Thank you so much to Christina and the team for making our wedding day so special! I'd absolutely recommend working with Filmman Video for anyone looking for a wedding videographer - you definitely won't be disappointed with the results.

We had multiple meetings before the wedding day and she provided helpful tips and a checklist of items to have prepared for some cinematic shots. She also arrived early to check out the venue and find good locations. They helped us figure out how to pose and recorded shots in various angles. We didn't pick a great location for our sunset photos/video shoot, but our photographer and Christina searched & found the perfect location to capture the sunset and amazing shots with the drone. Christina sent us our edited video less than a week after our wedding. We also really appreciated she provided us with a USB that had the full-day video clips. Highly recommend 10/10!

There aren't enough words to fully capture the impact DJ Rick had on our wedding. He is the…read moredefinition of a professional - passionate, kind, and entirely focused on the happiness of his clients. Interestingly, though we are both musicians, and music lovers, my husband and I actually found the process of selecting our own wedding music surprisingly daunting. Rick stepped in not just as a DJ, but as a consultant, helping us talk through genres and the emotional timing for each moment of the day. The result was a masterclass in engineering. He helped us thread together a beautiful, soulful grouping of songs for our ceremony that transitioned into the ultimate 90s/2000s dance party for the reception. Our guests have not stopped raving about the setlist; it was exactly the high-energy, nostalgic vibe we wanted. DJ Rick has an incredible intuition for how to work a room. DJ Rick doesn't just play music; he curates an experience.

We were so very happy with DJRick. He listened to what we wanted and executed everything perfectly…read more He met with us several times for planning and guidance. Not only did he play great music, he kept the party flowing. He did music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and we were able to tailor it to our preferences.We particularly liked his suggestion of having each of our guest tables come up to us at our table for a group picture as opposed to us going to each table. It worked out beautifully. Our goal was to dance as much as possible and keep the dance floor full and that truly happened. I would recommend Rick to anyone planning an event and I would definitely use him again if we have another event.

One of the tips we always heard before our wedding was to get a wedding video. And we originally…read moredoubted that tip, deciding to not get a wedding video after seeing many different videographers and sample videos. But after seeing Matter Video's and chatting with Dan, we completely changed our minds, and we are so glad we did. Working with Dan was a joy, and he was highly professional and very experienced. He worked seamlessly with our photographer -- so well that we kept forgetting that they weren't part of the same team! His wedding videos are able to capture the raw, emotional highs of a wedding without feeling cheesy or overdone. He really portrays the beauty and happiness that is present throughout the wedding. He captured so many details and moments that we didn't get photos of. We recommend him even more if you are having your wedding at Nestldown, as he clearly knew how to navigate all the best shots and lighting and timing throughout Nestldown.  He was friendly, easy to work with, clear in his directions, and also got us our sneak peek video within 24 hours of the end of the wedding. We loved our sneak peek so much that we opted for the longer video package! Thank you for the best keepsake! -Nickie & Jonathan, Nestldown June 2025

Dan and Travis were the sweetest duo--so kind, fun, and easy to be around. They made us feel completely at ease, and we spent most of the day laughing with them! Dan's attention to detail is absolutely flawless. He has a way of turning real moments into something that feels cinematic, capturing every magical second with such care. We received our wedding video yesterday, and I'm not exaggerating when I say we've already watched it at least 50 times. I don't think I've ever cried or smiled so much in one sitting--my cheeks are still so sore! Thanks to Dan and Travis, we'll be able to relive the most special day of our lives over and over again. It's something we'll cherish forever. We're endlessly grateful to Dan and Travis!

Graham (Final Frame) was the perfect fit! He is very professional and readily available for any questions, etc. He has a quicker turnaround for the video which is a bonus, and I really liked that his presence was very subtle (doesn't feel like you're on a movie set with a ton of bulky equipment). He edited a wonderful video (documentary edit), and I feel like I really get to relive the wedding day, and I love that I get to re-watch all the speeches/special moments of us with our friends and family. One of my favorite parts is that he will interview the guests (optional) and you get to hear and see family/friends video messages. It was awesome and really special. I'd highly recommend Graham! He is excellent!

Graham is very responsive and easy to work with. The day of our June 2021 wedding, Graham showed up on time and got right to work. You hardly even know he's there, which is exactly what we wanted from a videographer. He films "documentary style" and gets all the parts of the day that are such a blur to the bride and groom. My favorite thing about his style is the interviews he does with the bride and groom separately and the interviews he does with guests. It's such a nice touch that makes watching the video even more special. Graham is so affordable given the INCREDIBLE work that he does. I can't believe some people don't get a videographer for their wedding as it was such a special experience to rewatch our day through the eyes of our guests. My sister used Graham a few years ago, and I will be recommending Graham to every future bride and groom. His work is stunning, he doesn't interfere or get in the way, and he adds special touches that make the video even more fun to watch. Thank you so much Graham!!

Sandy is truly one of the most skilled newborn/family photographers in the bay area! I was lucky to…read morefind Sandy 4 years ago with my first born and the newborn photos ended up being incredible! It was an easy decision to go back to her with our second baby. Here are some of the ways that Sandy truly stood out: - Both our babies were born around Christmas holiday and scheduling was not an issue at all for Sandy. She checked in ahead of the appointment to ensure we didn't need to reschedule (much needed for parents that just gave birth recently) and had our themes ready prior to us arriving. - The themes were 10/10, better than what we could've envisioned ourselves. And our themes were generic such as lemon or Christmas. - The amount of patience Sandy has is seriously amazing! Our second baby was a bit harder to photograph compared to the first, in addition to a toddler who wasn't in the mood for pictures, and it didn't phase Sandy at all. She took her time to make sure she was able to capture each theme well and had tips up her sleeve to get the toddler to take some pictures. I highly recommend going with Sandy if you're considering photo sessions! She goes above and beyond to ensure all the special moments are captured and the pictures are so incredibly worth it.

I'm truly delighted to share my experience working with Sandy!

I am really impressed by her talent with infants and children; she was fantastic with my newborn and my 2-year-old. Her ability to craft stunning scenes is also incredible. And when it comes to her photography and editing skills, they are truly outstanding--just look at the edited photos, they're absolutely stunning! You won't be disappointed with Clairbare Studios and Sandy's gift for capturing beautiful, lasting memories of your little ones.

As someone who is into videography as a hobby, I was looking for a production team who could deliver great production value, look, essence, and capture each moment of our wedding so that we could be transported back to that day every time we rewatch the footage. Mike and his team absolutely delivered. The videos turned out beautifully, capturing all the important moments and emotions in a way we'll treasure forever. Mike kept us in the loop, stayed in great communication, and provided preview edits so we could give feedback before finalizing everything. The final products were polished, creative, and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Sesno Media Productions for weddings or any special event in the Bay Area.
