Alex and his team were there on time, very professional, and so fun to work with! He was also so quick to respond to my emails. My husband and I were pretty nervous at first but Alex made us feel comfortable from the beginning. He captured our natural selves and how we love to smile and laugh that our video turned out exactly how we wanted it to be. We were crying all over again while watching the final edit and WOW, we were blown away! Alex even captured the raw moment of my father and I hugging which was very touching and means so much because he is currently battling stage 4 sarcoma cancer. We will remember that moment for the rest our lives. Thank you again, Alex!! You were so wonderful to work with. We will look back at our wedding video and relive these unforgettable moments forever! We have already watched our video more than 10x! Lol If you are second guessing hiring a videographer and a great one at that, don't hesitate and hire IQ Videography. You will NOT be disappointed!!

My husband and I immediately connected with Marc and our sessions felt very comfortable and fun. Marc's counseling helped us look not as awkward as we felt, since we are not used to getting our photos taken. The resulting photos and videos were stunning! We are so happy that Gala Photo and Films were a part of our vendor team because they captured so many beautiful moments, and added the magical element during the day of our wedding by being so funny and easy to get along with. Marc was able to capture the poses that I requested with the wedding party, our immediate families, and our large families. Communication is an important part to execute this large project and Marc was able to pull through after any inquiry or concern that I had. I only wish that we had the opportunity to meet Gia, but we understand that they are extremely booked and busy. So if their style matches your preference, I would immediately inquire with Gala Photo and Films because they did such a great job and such a joy to work with!

Gala Photo and Films exceeds what would be expected of a wedding photographer. This dynamic duo,…read morehusband-wife team, will quickly grow to be your favorite wedding vendor as their passion and genuineness shines through each call, email, and of course - every photo - that they take. My husband and I had the opportunity to work closely with Gia for our engagement shoot and wedding day and we could not be more grateful for how comfortable she made us feel. We're both a bit awkward in front of a camera but Gia's kindness and professionalism made us feel like naturals! Gala Photo specializes in bright, natural photography which really made them stand out to me during a time where 'moody' and 'burnt' photography was trendy. After receiving our sneak peeks, it became evident to me that these photos will stand the test of time, far past any trend, and that Marc and Gia go above and beyond to make sure each and every photo is perfect. Aside from photography, Gia (and our second shooter for the day, Luis) were excellent in navigating the chaos that a wedding day can bring! From helping to coordinate schedules that didn't involve photography, gathering large groups of friends and family members for photos, and even to Gia giving me a ride to my wedding venue due to a last minute hiccup - they quickly became my pillar of calmness! If we had to do it over again, we would choose Gala! The quality of their photos and their eagerness to work with couples make them an obvious, and the best, choice!

She knew all the best photo spots in the building and wasted no time getting us into position for a huge variety of shots. She was super efficient and made the whole process feel fun and relaxed, even while working quickly to capture as much as possible. Her team was also incredibly professional and responsive leading up to the big day. Communication was smooth, and they made sure we felt totally prepared. All of the vendors she recommended-- our hair & makeup artist, our harpist, even the officiant--were fantastic and really added to how seamless and special everything felt. The final photos came out absolutely beautiful. Every shot felt warm, natural, and totally us. She really has an eye for detail and made everything look magical without feeling overly edited. We seriously couldn't stop smiling going through the gallery! She also made my bouquet, which was stunning and photographed so well. The only bummer was that it wilted pretty quickly after the day--it would've been nice if the flowers were a little fresher. But honestly, everything else was amazing and we're so happy we chose her!

She guided poses naturally, calmed our nerves, helped manage timing/logistics for our one-hour ceremony, and somehow got all the shots we wanted without ever making us feel rushed. She even helped hold my things and kept everything moving smoothly. The photos turned out beautiful. We especially loved the family photos and the romantic shots that captured the architecture perfectly. Her style feels classic and timeless. Doing engagement photos with her beforehand helped us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and I highly recommend that. If you're getting married at City Hall, Emily is the photographer to hire!

We had booked Olivia 2 whole years before our actual wedding and she ended up photographing our…read morewedding FINALLY 3 years after (due to COVID). Olivia was so flexible and supportive when we were freaking out that our wedding had to be cancelled/postponed during the lockdown; she rescheduled us twice throughout the pandemic. I have to say, her photography was one of the things I was looking forward to the most in getting married. As soon as we saw her photo in our venue catalog (when touring the venue), we knew we had to get married at that venue with the same photographer-- we booked her and the venue that same day. The photos she takes just feel light, bright, airy, and happy. And let me tell you, I've looked at other photographers' photos, but none could compare to the vibe Olivia's gives off. She is so WORTH IT. She's like a magician with her photos and just has a really great artistic eye! When we finally got married so many things went wrong (I wasn't wearing my wedding jewelry, I forgot to fix the ribbon of my bouquet, STRESS lol), but honestly you couldn't tell anything was wrong in the pictures! She came to the venue on time, advised us on timeline prior, and also was just a calming presence. Like I said, she's a freakin' magician who takes AMAZING photos. She's super friendly, bubbly, warm, kind and just easy to work with. My family loved her and her easy-going nature (even my husband commented on how Olivia was just super super nice). I cannot recommend Olivia more than enough to anyone. If you're looking for photos that are soft, romantic, light, and just would make you feel happiness when looking at it years later, Olivia's definitely your girl.

Olivia knows exactly what we want and makes you feel comfortable and special.  She has a heart of gold and will make your photo shoot so fun!

We truly cannot say enough incredible things about Darren with Reel Eyes Media. He was our…read morevideographer for our wedding in San Francisco, and honestly, I wish I could hire him for every major highlight in our lives moving forward. Originally, Darren had certain package requirements based on the expectation that we were planning a full wedding celebration. Even when our plans were still in flux, he consistently followed up in the most professional and thoughtful way. His emails always seemed to arrive at the perfect time...never pushy, never overwhelming- just gently letting us know he was there and available. It felt like he was patiently waiting in the wings, supporting us before we even officially booked. When we ultimately decided to elope, Darren didn't hesitate. He completely customized a package just for us, making it feel just as meaningful and intentional as a large wedding day. That flexibility alone meant the world. What truly sets Darren apart is his artistry and collaboration. He worked seamlessly with our photographer and we later learned that having a videographer and photographer move in sync like that is actually rare. There was zero ego, zero friction...just pure teamwork and creativity. The final video? Absolutely breathtaking. He under-promised and wildly over-delivered. I sent him countless text messages while planning (likely in a flurry of bridal emotions), and he handled me with so much patience and grace. The end result was the most beautiful, tear-jerking film that we proudly played at our wedding reception. There wasn't a dry eye in the room. Hiring Darren was, without question, one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire process. If you are even considering booking him- THIS IS YOUR SIGN. Hire Darren for anything you need captured. You will be endlessly grateful that you did.

His calm presence, kindness, and passion were felt every step of the way. We are beyond happy and so thankful to have had him as part of one of the most important days of our lives. We would recommend him without hesitation

I didn't want to drop…read morea ton of money on a short music video as a lot of other companies advertise because I preferred something less "cinematic"/was looking for more of a "documentary/authentic style" of the highlights and ceremony. 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!!
