We hired IQ Videography for our wedding at SF city hall on 09/02/2021. We wanted someone who was experienced at city hall and knew when to capture the perfect moments. 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!! read more

Alex was amazing to work with! He's kind, professional, and honest! Alex was our wedding videographer this past weekend, and he's already given us two sneak peeks with drone footage included! So cool! We can't wait to see the final product! Highly recommend! I love that he is stealth! I never felt like there were flashes in my face or that I was on camera, but somehow he and his team captured our day beautifully!! read more

I have never sourced for videographers before and I was given very limited direction and it didn't help they weren't clear either. They were telling me it was an interview but called it a b-roll shoot and I didn't know any better, so I was trying to find videographer to do a b-roll interview. Alex never showed his frustration like another person that I found through Yelp, instead Alex remained cool and patience with me and never advised my ask weren't clear. Out of the seven videographers I sourced, he was the best one and the most professional. I had a lot riding on this project, since the Lead person on this project wouldn't been very happy and I definitely didn't want to upset her. I was super worried when I found out Alex wasn't doing the interview himself. But Alex sent Ben to do the recording and I know the clients were super happy with Ben. Long story short, Alex was extremely great to work with and he never came back and said that's not my job or I am not getting paid to do that. He always came back with solutions, like when I asked to see if he has a transcriber for the interview, he didn't just say No and period. He said no, but you can check out these sites for transcription services. He is seriously amazing, and I cannot recommend him enough. Super professional and patience. I highly recommend him for corporate projects and not just weddings! read more

Alex Kohn did the Videography for my Wedding October 2020 and the video turned out AMAZING!!! I ended up not liking my wedding photos, I don't think I chose a great photographer (different company) so I am so glad that I at least have a beautiful video since the photographs didn't turn out well. The video honestly makes me cry. Alex showed up on time and was very quick at responding to my emails. With the pandemic, Alex was understanding to my changed venue and made it work. Even though i had a small wedding of 20 people, Alex made it look grand! I also thought IQ Videographer prices were reasonable, I could have afforded more $$$ but it was great their prices weren't bad. The wedding went way longer than I thought and it was really nice of Alex to stand an extra hour and keep filming. He even made us a very cute Instagram video and gave us all the raw footage. I would definitely hire Alex and IQ Videography again. read more

Our highlight film: https://vimeo.com/308938560 Blog Post: https://www.iqvideography.com/blog/2018/12/27/epic-dominican-republic-wedding Alex from IQvideography, is not just your run-of-the-mill videographer, he is a ARTIST. It is ridiculous how good he is at what he does that I cannot simply just give him 5 stars and move on; I need every single person reading this review to just stop where they are and just hire Alex. You do not need to look any further... I'm serious. He will be the best decision you made for your wedding. Truly, you can thank me later. This review is a long time coming since our wedding was in November 2018. But better late than never, amirite? Read on for more details and me rambling about how amazing Alex is: This whole journey started many years before I got married actually and I had come across some of Alex's highlight films from some of his previous weddings. I knew in that instant that whenever we finally decided to get married, that he would be the one. And when I meant, "the one" - I didn't mean my current husband, I meant our one true, meant-to-be videographer, of course. After all, you only get married once (not planning on doing this again), and looking back on these memories through video is the only way to hold onto those memories. Myself being from NYC and my husband from London, the fact that Alex was based in San Francisco was not a deterrent, I would have flown him out any day of the week to shoot my future wedding! When I finally got engaged, I emailed Alex right away. And said that he was my first and only choice to be my videographer in the Dominican Republic. He gladly agreed, and let's just say the rest was history! He was easy to work with, in terms of our contract, and even being open to shooting our long double-wedding (Hindu & Buddhist) with a total of 6 events over 4 days. I'm sure we were not easy clients - let's just say I am a Type A bride with a Type A mother, but Alex was cool, calm and collected and was professional, helpful and understanding every step of the way! Alex was flexible, funny and just a pleasure to work with the entire time. He was on time, worked with all of our vendors seamlessly and his partner Josh was also fantastic part of the team. I mean it is very clear Alex has had previous training as a ninja, and I think that it truly helped him be everywhere and nowhere at the same time to capture all the fantastic moments that we look back on so fondly. We not only got compliments on our highlights video, but everyone truly though we were just trying to rival Crazy Rich Asians with our over-the-top South Asian wedding. Let's just say, Alex made us and our 4-day wedding look beyond beautiful and it was amazing to get to to share those moments with our friends and family who could not make it to our destination wedding. Turnaround time for our deliverables was lightning quick, and much faster than expected. When I say that we cried, laughed, cried and laughed some more, it is an understatement. Our family could not believe how beautiful and seamless the transitions, music, speeches and quality of our film was. If perfection was an attainably quality in a videographer, Alex truly is perfection. His talent for storytelling, through video is unparalleled and if I could give Alex a million stars I would! Now we get to cry, laugh, and cry again for the next 50 anniversaries (hopefully more) to come when we rewatch our highlights and feature film. Alex, thank you for giving us the gift of these beautiful memories to look back on. We are forever thankful and grateful to have you shoot our wedding. read more

I hired these guys for my wedding ceremony that was held at Muir Woods National Monument on June 21, 2019. I had never met them before (I'm from LA), but based off of their website and collection of photos and videos, I was impressed and decided to contact them. They arrived early to our destination (even though we were late hehe oops), and they were SO FUN to work with. Very professional, very nice, and very funny; they were able to get us all to smile -- even my 20 month old daughter! They helped us decide what looked good and they even had our video ready two days before originally agreed. We showed their ceremony video at our reception, and the owner of the venue said, "I've seen thousands of wedding videos throughout my career, and this is the most beautiful I've ever seen" and there was not a dry eye in the house. I highly recommend them!!! read more

Worth every penny. We found this company while getting ready for our wedding and though we knew that a video was something we wanted. We weren't sure if it was worth the money. No words can explain how glad we are that we did it. Photos capture a moment this video captured the raw emotion of the day. We find ourselves watching it over a hundred times and remembering our especial day. With everything that's going on the day goes by so quickly that the video was a perfect surprise when it was all said and done. We can't thank Alex enough for tailoring the video to who we really are. Thank you guys for everything. read more

An amazing job creating video of one of the most important days of our lives. Very easy to work with, very friendly and at a great cost. We loved the outcome and we will definitely recommend IQvideography to anyone who needs a video for their special day. read more

We were looking for a videographer for our wedding day and were at a loss, we couldn't find a one that could quite capture moments and tell a story with those moments so you'd really feel like you were there, reliving the emotion and excitement of the day. Then we came across Alex's video. He is simply amazing. His videos are able to capture the ambiance and feelings. We inquired for his availability and we were able to come to an agreement on a package that would suit our needs. (I am all about being able to customize and Alex was extremely accommodating and helpful through that entire process!) Wedding day: Alex came ready to work! He was super helpful in directing us when he needed different angles and shots to make us look as awesome as possible! He captured the excitement and love of our day taking lots of different shots to make sure he got all the best angles. He was pretty much invisible, clearly the mark of an experienced videographer! Wedding video: Alex is super fast! Of course right after the wedding we want to see the video. And of course combing through a hundred GB of footage is no easy task. His teaser video came out in two weeks. We were so excited to see our highlight video! A week and a half later our highlight video was ready! We were STOKED. I've watched it at least a hundred times in the past two weeks! Alex did an amazing job editing the video and I can really FEEL the excitement that I felt on our wedding day! THANK YOU Alex for making our video everything we dreamed! We will be able to relive our wedding over and over now! We are so grateful for his hard work and epic video, it was worth every penny! If you want someone who is dedicated to capturing your special day, look no further than IQ Videography! read more

Alex has been incredibly patient and accommodating to us from the start. We shared a general sense of what we're hoping the video would look like, and Alex just took it from there and filled in the blanks. He has significant experience filming couples at the San Francisco City Hall, everything from knowing exactly which floor and which balcony will provide the best aesthetic to what time and day you will have the best luck in capturing a majestic shot of an empty city hall. He was also very open to suggestions of filming in different locations to get the most interesting footage and flexible in editing videos to our exact liking. In terms of experience, knowledge, and videography skills, Alex proved to be the perfect choice. We were so thrilled by our wedding video. It's an added bonus that he's been so wonderful and easy to work with. read more

Let's begin with this, if possible, I would give Alex and his team 6 stars instead of 5! My wife and I first saw Alex's work from our friends' wedding and were amazed by his work with the videos and camera skills. It wasn't until then when we had our first meeting with Alex to realize how great a guy he really is! Alex is really professional, responsive to emails and phone calls and ssuuuuppperrrr fun and easy to work with. Despite having our wedding at a venue that Alex did not shoot at before (Ruby Hill Golf Course), our videos came out amazing and it was as if he's shot at the venue 100 times before. Alex is truly a master and a wizard with his camera! We are very lucky to have our beautiful videos and can watch them years down in the future and still replay the day with every little detail. Thank you Alex and to your great team!! Definitely would recommend IQvideography to all my friends and family! read more

Alex and Joseph were both great! Our pictures and video came out amazing. It was worth every penny and I would recommend to anybody and everybody for every occasion. If you have an opportunity to book both of them for the same event, do not hesitate. It's the only way to go! read more

Alex and his team are really what wedding videography should be all about. They are fun and easy to work with, and Alex is one of the sweetest guys you will ever meet! We initially found Alex for my sisters wedding, and he was so great, we decided to use him for our wedding as well. :) *When you are looking for a Wedding Videographer It is so hard to tell what the quality of their work is, but Alex's website is clear, and his blog gives you great footage so you can really see what he is capable of: http://www.iqvideography.com/blog/ Here are the products we bought and 5 reasons we are giving him 5 stars: Love Story Video & Full Wedding Video Package 1. Quality: Everything Alex produces is amazing and outstanding quality. He really captures the emotion of the event, and his ability to mix sound is really unmatched by anyone in his field. 2. Creativity: When we shot our love story we weren't sure what to expect of how to put the content together. We had some general ideas, but Alex helped us put them together in a cohesive and fun way. He let us be ourselves, and we really trusted his judgement, and were rewarded for doing so, because his ideas were great, and the final product is so fun, and really captures our silly personalities. http://www.iqvideography.com/blog/2014/1/9/erica-michael-a-pre-wedding-film.html 3. How he is to work with: We spent 2 pretty full days working with Alex on our love story, and he was so great the entire time. He kept it positive, and fun, and got shots that were beautiful. He was even better on our wedding day if that is possible! He really made me feel at ease, and you barely noticed he was there, but still managed to get amazing shots. This is the true sign of an experienced expert in his field. 4. The customer is always right mentality: I really appreciate that Alex will make sure the product is what you want. He does not have an ego, and if there is something you don't like (which trust me will be a rare occurence) he will do everything in his power to make sure his customers are happy. Every customer is different, and he does a great job working with many different personalities, which just speaks to his great personal demeanor. 5. Timing to receive final product: With our love story the turn around time was less than a month. We got married in August, and in September received our five minute preview. We still have not received our final wedding video, but I am sure we will this month, and I am so excited for the product. *** I trust and love all of Alex's work, and am so happy we chose him as our videographer. Our family is using him for a third time for my other sister getting married. Trust me you want a quality product IQ videography is the company to work with! read more

A big thank you to Alex for making my wedding video a dream! He is amazing. He captured us, our day and our love perfectly. I am so happy that I found Alex. He really knows how to tell a story, and made our story so beautiful read more

We hired IQvideo to shoot a promo video for our company and couldn't be happier with the results. Alex was very professional, knowledgeable and helped us get the results we wanted. IQvideo also did our corporate headshots, which turned out perfect. Highly recommended. read more

Our photographer/videographer Ben and his assistant were great and did an amazing job. I would absolutely work with them again! I hired IQ Videography for a surprise proposal on Corona Heights. At the team's request, I sent a map with directions of where we'd arrive and where I'd propose. On the day-of, Ben and his assistant arrived early and got in perfect position, and he emailed and texted me a photo to get my approval on the view (which also helped me know who to be on the lookout for). They blended in perfectly with the crowd and got great video of the proposal--my fiancee didn't suspect anything. After the proposal, they came forward and said hi, and we did a quick photoshoot that turned out great. Ben even brought out his drone, expertly maneuvered it in high winds, and got great footage that he added on to the proposal video. Thanks to them, we've got great photos and videos to remember our special day by. Ben and his assistant were the NICEST guys to work with. read more

We worked with Alex for our wedding in San Francisco. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Alex. We found IQ Videography here on Yelp and looking at the great reviews and their portfolio, I was really hoping that they had an availability for our wedding date, especially because we decided very last minute that we wanted a videographer. Our wedding was during Covid, and so that meant that our entire family back home would somehow want to participate remotely. Given all these last minute requirements, I was so happy we found IQ Videography - Alex was really responsive over Yelp chat reachout and provided us with all the details we'd need including the packages and available options, which helped a lot with all the last minute anxiety. I cannot appreciate him enough for that. Talking to him really made us feel confident about the execution, he seemed to know every single minute detail. On the day of the wedding, they set up a live stream for all our family back home and set up multiple cameras around where we were standing so they could get different angles of the couple. They also recorded the Zoom session so we could see all our guests and their reactions later on. This truly captured our day in its true essence. I highly highly recommend them for videography and wedding live streaming. Thank you, IQ Videography!! read more

We originally hired Joseph of IQphoto. Joseph is amaaaazing!! Really nice guy and love his documentary style. The photos of our wedding are gorgeous and really captured the fun as well as the intimate moments. We decided later to go ahead and add a video for our wedding. Best decision! The video Alex took and put together with the music of our choice was stunning! It really is like the best movie trailer ever! It is like, these beautiful people are totally in love, and I want to come along for the romantic story :D I have watched the video so many times, as have my family and friends. Great idea during COVID, by the way, because not many people could come to the wedding and they felt like the were there with the video. If you are thinking of having a video for your wedding, just do it! And just ask Alex to do it! read more

I always wanted my own wedding movie-like video. The wedding scenes were my favorite part when watching movies. When I saw the videos on IQ Videography website, I knew that was what I wanted. I was extremely happy when Alex said he was available on our date. From my proposal to city hall ceremony took exactly 2 weeks. The 5 attendees, my husband, and I flew from 6 different cities and from 3 different countries. It was a small intimate wedding, but there were a lot of planning and coordination to be done. The best part with working with Alex is his quick and patient responses with my emails. No matter when I asked him questions or for video adjustments, he would always reply within a couple hours or by the following morning (despite that there were time difference between us). He even adjusted the video several times to make it perfect. Both the photos and video were sent to me within 1 week time! The only time I'd say to keep in mind is to brainstorm and organize what you want to include in the video before the wedding day. And then just have fun on your big day. Alex would work his magic. Now I have this amazing video to share with friends and family. Thank you Alex for making my dream come true. read more

Alex is an amazing videographer and we were very lucky to have him shoot our wedding. Before the wedding, he was meticulous in learning all of the details of our wedding so that he knew how to plan the best shots. During the wedding, he is very easy to work with: when the wedding was in progress he captured the best moments, and when we had some down time, he grabbed us (the couple) and took candid shots. After the wedding, we received our highlight video much faster than I could have ever hoped for! And it was a perfect story line of our wedding weekend - with all of the most important events and people closest to us captured! Thank you Alex! read more

I can't recommend Alex and his team at IQ Videography enough! Our day was captured more beautifully than we ever could have hoped. Alex worked with us from Sunrise to Sunset (literally) and captured all the beauty of our elopement in Yosemite National Park. We were able to be ourselves the entire day and Alex created a vision that captured us so genuinely, that it felt like he'd known us both for years and knew what our favorite parts of the day were. Our biggest fear was looking back at our wedding day and regretting the choice we made with company we decided to work with - I am thrilled to say that you'll have no regrets with Alex and his team! We literally can't keep ourselves from showing everyone our wedding video! Thank you so much for capturing these memories for us. We can't wait to watch our video for years to come! read more

Alex and his team were so great to work with on our wedding day in SF! We are from Denver so we met with Alex one time to discuss what we were looking for etc. He NAILED it. Not only did our video capture our day perfectly(the vibe of the day, celebration, ceremony, getting ready, everything), but he and his team were honestly just so fun to work with. They made us feel comfortable, we were so happy, and never once felt stressed. Worth every single penny. We have referred a couple clients to him as well because there's simply no one better and everyone agrees! Prepare to be amazed! read more

IQ Videography - Still from our video - Videographers Near Me - San Francisco, California

Alex is amazing! He's super professional and patient. We had IQVideography for our wedding at Hakone Gardens. Alex was so nice that he came 2-hours earlier to shoot wedding preparation and captured great family moments. Another thing I'd like to highlight, is that although the wedding wasn't in English, Alex was very professional & patient that he spent extra amount of time trying to understand the language, and edited a great hightlight for us. We were really grateful to have Alex as our videographer. And we highly recommend IQVideography for your wedding! read more

I could talk about my wonderful experience with Alex for an incredible amount of time but I'll be quick. He's absolutely extraordinary. His work is noting short of perfection. He's super easy to work with and made us feel very comfortable on our wedding day. His vision is like nothing I've ever seen and the way our wedding video came out was better than we could have ever hoped for. We are so grateful that he was available for our wedding day. He was worth every penny and I have absolutely no regrets :) Thank you for being our wedding videographer Alex!! read more

Summary: Nice videos, but Alex cannot be trusted. We visited Alex's home and saw his work, which we liked, so after deliberating we selected Alex and notified him via email. We then spoke on the phone, where Alex agreed to film our wedding and we agreed on a package and a price. Then the trouble began. First Alex told us that sales tax had increased to 9.5% but that if we paid him in cash upfront he could avoid the sales tax. That was a red flag! We told Alex we'd probably pay by check and mail it along with a paper copy of the agreement. Next, Alex pressured us to use his brother instead of the photographer we had already selected; we declined. Five days after our email, Alex emailed us to say that he had accepted a commission from a different couple and would not be filming our wedding as agreed! The subsequent email exchange is attached below, in which he confirms that "a verbal agreement isn't an agreement" and that he's done this sort of thing before. In retrospect, it's fortunate that we will not be using Alex's services, as his unethical behavior has no place in such an important event. -------------------- Alex Kon | IQ videography iqvideography@gmail.com Thu, May 7, 2009 at 5:35 PM To: Benjamin [...] Cc: Christine [...] Ben, You have to understand that verbal agreement is not an actual agreement. Not once i've met with couples that promised to book but never actually did that, for reasons i don't know... You seemed very serious to me and still i can't take the risk and hold dates before payment has been received. As far as i remember, I didn't say that i prefer cash, i just said that if you pay cash, the sales tax will be on me. Situations like these happened to me before and will happen many times more. To be honest with you, there is no way of dealing with them. If i would have told you that I was working with another couple and that they are serious to book, you could have felt that I'm pushing you and that it's not professional etc... and it did happen to me before. I'm sorry that i didn't present you all the payment options, although the /book page has the information about retaining my services online. Sincerely, Alex. ___________________________ Alexander Kon - IQ videography www.iqvideography.com 415.606.9791 read more

Let me first start by stating that I am a videographer myself. So picking the person that captures your day is truly a big deal. Without hesitation, I trusted in Alex to be our videographer. After spending a few mins on his site, you'll quickly see that he has a natural eye for interesting compositions and a keen sense of storytelling. On the day of the wedding Alex showed up on time and was very fun to be around. He captured the moments as they happened and offered many great suggestions when needed to get the perfect shot. We loved having Alex there to capture our wedding day! He is fun to be around and truly an amazing videographer! read more

IQ Videography - Videographers Near Me - San Francisco, California

We got married in 2009 and hired both Alex and his brother Joseph (from IQ Photography) with wonderful results. Alex is prompt, professional, funny in a quiet sort of way (a contrast with his older brother) and a wonderful artist. While the highlight video was a bit different from what my husband and I expected, we loved it. Only "feedback" is that we had requested that the save the date video that Alex had done for us be included in our wedding DVD but it wasn't (reason for minus 1 *). But we are still able to view it on his website :) Also, the guests at our wedding loved Alex and his gear...it almost felt like a combination of James Bond and a Ninja at work. read more

Alex's video skills are the best of the best! He will film you in various settings and will ask you to do things you might be a little nervous about (such as jumping up and down in a public place), but trust him completely. The final product is amazing! His video captured the love my wife and I share in a fun and entertaining way. Do not consider using anyone else. Alex does an amazing job! read more

I highly recommend IQ Videography! First, Alex is incredibly talented. My husband and I did an extensive search online and looked at dozens of websites as we were selecting a videographer, and Alex was by far the best. We absolutely love our wedding video and are so happy to have such high-quality documentation of this important time in our lives. Our family and friends think the video is awesome and always comment on how he captured our personalities so well. Alex's videos have style and sophistication, but they are also fun and engaging. In addition, Alex is a great guy and we enjoyed working with him. Before we found Alex, we had considered skipping wedding videography. Now we are SO GLAD we didn't! Hiring him was one of the best decisions we made in our planning and we're thrilled to have our video to watch in the coming years. read more

We waiting on our video still, so I'll update this when the actual product comes. I booked Alex fairly late in the game, and I'm so glad I found him! He is very prompt, responsive, professional, nice, and fun to be around! I was pleasantly surprised by how great his packages were, and how much they cost! Alex and his crew are a lot of fun to be around, and I enjoyed having them around during all the girly wedding prep! During the actual ceremony, they disappeared into the background and were SO ninja, I totally forgot they were there! He was pretty quick in giving us the preview video, which was just a few minutes of video highlights from the big day, which our vows and some music as the audio. Needless to say, the little video made me (and a lot of other people) cry. Alex is very good at what he does, and I can't wait to see our video! read more

How can you not choose IQ Videography? Just watch any of their videos on their website. That's exactly what my husband and I did and immediately loved everything about their videos. Very cool and super artsy! It's funny because my cousin Marlyn B. (who also wrote a review on yelp) showed me her wedding video when she first got married and I absolutely adored it! Over time I forgot to write down their company name, it just so happened that I used yelp and I found IQ on here and seen her review. I contacted Alex right away because I didn't want to miss out on getting IQ to shoot our wedding video. I sent Alex an email and he responded very quickly, we set an appointment to meet on our first email. Our meeting went great, we met with Alex at his residence and spoke about the details of our wedding. Our personalities clicked right away and we were very comfortable with him, so we signed the contract the same night. About three weeks before the wedding we were constantly emailing with Alex as well as him being in contact with our wedding planner. He was definitely easy to get a hold of considering how busy he is. The day of the wedding Alex and his assistant Sonny showed up and started shooting us getting ready. It's like they were not even there, they were on stealth mode, not getting in the way or asking us to do a whole bunch of poses. It was great! The whole day Alex and Sonny were there with us for everything but only gave us little directions here and there, which was nice because my husband and I wanted to live in the moment, not create "scenes" for our video. The directions they would give us were not intrusive to our feelings and allowed us to have our moments. Both of them worked very well with our two photographers that we hired, they were respectful of each others shots and style. Alex really does have the stealth mode thing down solid because when looking at our photographers pictures not once did we notice that they were in one of their shots! Bonus for us because our shots with our photographers were not wasted. Shortly after the wedding within a week or so we received our highlight video. We love it!!! Alex completely captured the whole feeling of our wedding...FUN!!!! We shared our highlight video with the rest of our family and they couldn't believe how professional the video looked! Everyone kept asking us,"Where can we buy tickets for the full featured film?!?" Everyone had such positive things to say about the highlight video. We have not yet received our whole video because my husband and I super lagged. We only gave Alex our choice of songs three weeks ago and our wedding was in May!!! We look forward to seeing it! We can't wait!! I highly recommend IQ Videography! We were not sure about spending a good portion of our budget on photography and videography but now know that the cost is absolutely worth every penny! Videos can capture so much more than just pictures alone! I am grateful that we have audio also included in our video because even though you try so hard to remember everything from your wedding day, it's just impossible to do so. read more

Alex is amazing! My husband and I decided to get a videographer last minute and thankfully he was free on our date. I inquired online and he quickly reached out to me and it was so easy to get the booking done. Not only was he professional but his work is phenomenal. I paid for a rush job so we could play it at our reception the following weekend( 2 days away) and we got it the morning off and I was in tears when I saw it. It was so beautiful and touching. Were so greatful to Alex for giving us a beautiful video we can cherish for the rest of our lives. read more

It's taken us a while to write this awesome review because we struggled on how to articulate our deepest gratitude to Alex for giving us a priceless memento of our New Years Eve wedding day. His attention to detail in the editing of a very full day of events with multiple locations, was not only precise, but extremely creative as well! His song selection & editing savvy really captured the boundless joy and happiness that we, and our guests experienced. Each time we watch it we laugh, get teary-eyed and are left wanting more! We highly recommend Alex. He was easy going, flexible, responsive and stealthy (we hardly knew where he or his cameras were set up!) To our pleasant surprise our video was turned around to us in just 2 weeks! Thank you Alex! We can't wait to have our future children watch our video one day. We are blessed and grateful to have worked with you! Sincerely, Mr and Mrs. Christopher DeGrande read more

We did the 2hr Video/Photo City Hall Weekday Package Combo. The package is worth it. BEFORE THE WEDDING: They were responsive via email and phone. They answer all your questions. They have a quick and easy online payment system for the deposit. DAY OF WEDDING: I asked them to arrive at 10:45am in front of City Hall and they were there on time and ready to go. They are experienced with the layout of City Hall so they know how to utilize their time with the shots they want. The package works well b/c you will deal with a team that often works together so it's ideal for this kind of setting where you have limited time. The 2hrs were more than enough to capture enough shots before/during/after the wedding ceremony. They (Alex & Alex) were quick, professional, experienced, and pretty much decent dudes. AFTER: The turnaround time for the final products are pretty quick. You can also use their online payment system to pay the remaining balance. VIDEO: I got my video hashed out in just a week and it was beautiful and awesome. Alex is great at editing, he really captures special moments that compliment the music soundtrack that you choose for the video. PHOTO: The photos, I received a preview slideshow (teaser trailer) in under 2 weeks and so far so good. Alot of captured moments. The editing is clean. OVERALL: Great combo video/photo deal for a City Hall wedding. I'd highly recommend this team if you plan on getting married in SF City Hall and want a memorable package at a price that I would say is reasonable. read more

We hired IQvideography (and IQphoto) for our city hall wedding. The footage Alex captured was amazing and the finished product with our choice of music was expertly done. We wanted a video that truly captured our day and feelings for all our family that couldn't attend. We had high expectations for this company given their sample work, but we were still blown away with the finished product. Alex was timely and knew exactly what shots to get. I cannot recommend them enough! You only get one chance to capture your wedding day-don't risk it by going with anyone else. read more

We hired Alex for our San Francisco City Hall wedding about a month ago and it was one of the best investments we made. From the get-go, Alex was so easy and quick to communicate with. He was flexible with our timelines and when we had a request to add captions to our video for my parents, he did it without hesitation. Alex was so friendly and turned around our wedding video in just about a month! He captured all of the raw emotions of our special day. We couldn't have asked for a better product. If you're debating booking him, just do it. You seriously will not regret it! read more

My wife and I got married at City Hall and decided to book IQ Photography mainly for the following reasons: 1) Their sample photographs on the website looked excellent, and in line with what we were looking for. It was obvious that the photographers have real talent, and aren't hiding mediocre skills with filters and Photoshop. 2) They have a dedicated City Hall section and are very knowledgeable about making the most of this beautiful location. Although San Francisco City Hall is a special and gorgeous location for a wedding, it comes with some challenges: tourists milling about, other brides and grooms walking around looking for places to take photographs, and less-than-obvious nooks and crannies to get amazing shots in. We wanted to work with someone who knew this place like the back of their hand and could guide us quickly and efficiently from location to location within City Hall. 3) They offered videography to go with the photography. We wanted a wedding video too, and one-stop shopping and knowing that the photographer and videographer would collaborate effectively were important to us. Masha (admin/coordinator), Joseph (photography), and Alex (video) completely blew us away. We contacted them with not much lead time, and they were super responsive, easy to work with, super professional, and just really, really nice people. The day of the wedding was all business, but also a lot of fun. Joseph and Alex clearly knew what they were doing, and had a knack for directing us enough to get the shots we needed, but also giving us enough space to experience our wedding and have our special moment as it was happening. Alex will go over options for the video -- if you look on the website, you'll see some very fun and clever edits. We opted for the popular "music video" option, where he sets highlights of the wedding to a song of your choosing. It came out fantastic -- it's not cloying or fake at all, and the scenes flow naturally with a good story arc. We were beyond pleased. Weddings are happy and emotional occasions, and often also stressful. Hiring IQ Photography to document this once-in-a-lifetime occasion was the most successful decision we made planning our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with the beautiful photographs and amazing video we now have to look back on this special day. If I could give Masha, Alex, and Joseph 10 stars, I would -- they are the perfect team to entrust with something as precious as your wedding day. read more

I am a corporate video producer with 35+ years of experience and really had no idea who should do our wedding video. Based on what we saw and read on YELP, we went with Alex. I have to say we are thrilled with what he and his team delivered. My new bride was literally sobbing with joy while watching the video for the first time, and wanted to keep watching it over and over, as did I. Alex was a pleasure to work with before, during and after our wedding. He and his team were low-profile while shooting - it's like they weren't even there. Alex brought his drone and those shots were incredible - I recommend you go for that option as it helps make the video even more riveting - images you can't even imagine. He uses good cameras with good lenses and was always in the right place at the right time to capture another great moment. The dinner toast audio was challenging since we did not give anyone a microphone, and each person was facing in a different direction as they stood up around the table, but Alex was able to get all of the toasts in their entirety. Amazing. Bottom line: Alex really captured the look and feel and spirit of the wedding - what more can you ask? Great job and yes, we would highly recommend IQV for your wedding. read more

We used IQ photo for our engagement photoshoot and our wedding day. For what my husband and I invested in the packages, we got back 5 times in return with the quality of the work. They go above and beyond with what they provide you. You get stunning photos and a warm and genuine staff. Photos are precious and I think you have to put a lot of trust into who you select to capture those moments, you won't be disappointed with this company. From day 1, Masha coordinated everything for us seamlessly and I like how easy it is to secure payment via paypal. I specifically searched for photographers that specialized in weddings at Cityhall. SF Cityhall is stunning and it takes the right kind of photographer to have an understanding of lighting and positioning. In both experiences, Alex was our photographer. He is completely professional and I appreciate him being punctual. He called me 15 minutes before and was there on time. We struggled on this day because it was so hot and it was hard for my husband and I to get comfortable. Can you get anyone to take photos of you? Yes you can, but what Alex was able to do was capture us in our natural element. Nothing was too posey or staged.....we could just be ourselves. Our wedding was on September 16 and we are blown away by what Alex was able to capture; candid moments with our friends and family, our rings, my bouquet. His attention to detail is perfect. They do everything! They created a magazine style wedding album layout for us and we are looking into this option. Gives me such peace of mind knowing I don't have to go to 3 different vendors to handle all my photography needs. We will be using them in the future! read more
