Whenever I rewatch my wedding day livestream ceremony & videography I cannot help but LAUGH OUT LOUD & smile remembering the day. My husband and I first heard of Orig Media when we went to a wedding expo. When we came across their booth, what stood out to us about them is the uniqueness of their videography and capturing the wedding day. We hired them soon after we met up with Jeff in person. He is very professional, friendly, chill and definitely is GREAT at his craft. To be honest, Orig Media was probably one of the first vendors we hired! LOL. As time went on, we continued to converse and send updates and the staff were amazing at following up with us in a timely manner. Come our wedding, we were in the middle of a pandemic, and THANKFULLY Orig Media had a livestream option for our wedding day ceremony. It was a GOD SENT because we couldn't have most of our guests attend anymore due to COVID. I am so glad we had that option because it turned out amazing. Funny part was after the ceremony when my husband and I went home to watch the livestream which was still on Youtube, you could hear our side commentary. LOL. We loved it! I'll admit it was also great to be able to have family & friends around the globe watch our ceremony in real time (Philippines, California, Boston, and Canada). When we got our final product of the videography of the day I was absolutely pleased with it. It was exactly what I imagined and more. It will definitely be a wonderful keepsake for our family to come. Do not hesitate to work with Orig Media. They are amazing! Also - besides doing private parties/projects they also do independent film and commercials I believe. I recommend them to everyone!

Jeff and his team were the very first vendors my wife and I picked out. Even before we had set a…read moredate and a venue, we knew we wanted Orig Media to do our video. We had Jeff do a video invite for us as well as day of videography. We couldn't have possibly been happier with the service. Jeff and team are very quick to respond, very friendly and easy to get along with. It was never like working with someone as much as it was collaborating on a fun project with friends. I'm sure if Orig Media offered photography services as well we would have gladly hired them for that portion as well. Definitely would recommend these guys for any and all video needs. 5 out of 5 would hire again.

From start to finish, everything went as smoothly as it could possibly go. From initial contact, which he responded to super quick to our request for a quote, to the actual event which he showed up on time, set up quickly, and was super professional. Neil also does photo shoots and wedding videos, I've heard. I've checked out some of his work and I've gotta say... I'm impressed. The professionalism, the time and attention to detail that he puts into his work: definite plus. Very friendly, very efficient, and very accommodating. Different prices for different packages, depending on what it is you're looking for. The prices are reasonable for someone with the quality, skills, and caliber that he's working at. I would definitely hire Motion and Story again. Check them out! I think you, too, will also be very impressed.

I would recommend Motion & Story to anyone looking for a good high quality video.

I first discovered Garvan's Photography at one of the bridal expos for the magnet photobooth, and thought it was a great idea but didn't really look into it much. As the time grew closer to my wedding, I thought I would look them up again and emailed them to get a quote. The communication was ON POINT. The company is run by the SWEETEST couple ever, Gary and Vanessa. I met with them at a local Starbucks to get the ball rolling and they discussed everything that they needed from me (color schemes, etc.) and about a month before my wedding I received 3 drafts of layout for the photobooth pictures. They arrived at my venue on time, and were SO awesome with the guests and the product was worth every penny. Ever since my wedding, my cousins and sisters have booked them for their events as well. They even remember me and my husband when we see them at these events. I once ran into them at a restaurant and it was like running into old friends. I only wish the absolute best for them!

I contacted Garvans for a last minute maternity session. Not only were Gary and Vanessa able to…read moresqueeze us in but they are miracle workers! Our photos came out absolutely amazing, an incredible feat considering it was a hot, humid, and miserable day. My husband and I were both drenched in sweat but yet they managed to make us look flawless. Vanessa even helped me to touch up between shots. They're so easy to work with and really care bout the quality of their work. We've worked with a few professional photographers in the past for our engagement and wedding but Garvans has been the best. Our friends have even commented that our maternity shots are much nicer than our wedding photos and I agree! I'm so glad we found them and will definitely be recommending and calling them for all of our future needs.

I blinked... And the wedding was over…read more My fiance and I spent countless months emailing/calling/texting vendors to make sure that we chose the right people for the job. We read through hundreds of reviews on The Knot, Wedding Wire, and Yelp. Since we live in the San Francisco bay area and the wedding was in Waikiki, it was especially difficult trying to sample food via FaceTime.... So much excitement planning the big day.... and it was over in an instant. And I don't recall if I cried when Kortni walked down the aisle. I don't remember what music was playing as we entered the reception. I don't know what the Lilikoi cheesecake tasted like. I don't remember if I got a dance with my mom. ... and that's where Albiola Photography and Videography came in. Jon captured every precious moment. His team of photographers and videographers answered all of the important questions. Yes, I cried. The entrance song was "Can't Stop the Feeling" from Trolls. No, because I didn't eat the cheesecake (or anything on my plate for that matter). Yes, I danced with mom to Boyz II Men. But let me rewind for just a moment... Jon is extremely responsive. And since there is a 3 hour time difference, it was nice to get a call before 9:00pm PST and not using the scale of "Hawaiian Time", which translates to 2 or 3 days later. LOL. Jon responded within the hour. He was very professional, easygoing, and worked within our budget. It didn't take long for us to sign the contract. Ok, back to the wedding... Kortni and I decided to write each other love letters on the morning of the wedding. My nephew (also my ring bearer) was practicing his reading skills by reading the letter aloud as I wrote. It was kinda embarrassing, because I was being cheesy, but cute to hear him read. As I was putting on the finishing touches to the letter, I looked back and noticed that Jon was capturing every minute on camera. It was a special moment and Jon caught it. Jon has a special knack of being at the right place at the right time and not being in the way. He's like a photo ninja. But when he needed to take charge of a situation, like the chaos between the ceremony and the reception, he was able to take charge and still be nice about it. He was assertive, without being an ass, so i guess that makes him just ertive. Jon & Crystal also took great sunset photos at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. Crystal caught several instances of us being our normal cute selves and just said "look up at me, guys". When we received a sneak peek of the photos, we agreed that the "look up at me, guys" pictures were some of our favorites. It was just us being dorks, but dressed a little nicer than usual. We were very surprised at how amazing the sneak peek of our photos looked and how quickly we received them (within a week). Kortni and I are very thankful for Jon, Crystal and the rest of the staff. Our photos and videos are amazing. See below. www.Mesascottohana.wedding https://vimeo.com/252007158 We highly recommend Albiola Photography and Videography to capture the precious moments on your special day. Blessings, Vince & Kortni
