They always gave us options and quotes promptly when we asked, even when it came down to the wire (Melissa and Michael Gilmore). The lighting and set decorations we rented from AMOS productions made the venue look so beautiful. Michael seems very familiar with most of the venues in the East Bay and gave us amazing suggestions to make the reception look good while still being attentive to our budget. DJ Kevin was our DJ for our wedding. I cannot say enough good things about DJ Kevin. From the get go, he was on top of EVERYTHING. During our meetings, he helped us organize and time our entire day (music, activities, timing, setting). It's very obvious that he has DJ'd a ton of weddings but he is completely attentive to your needs and tastes. Even when we made changes last minute, DJ kevin accommodated all of our needs and integrated everything. Our ceremony was absolutely perfect, he timed all the music perfectly and made the atmosphere so beautiful. He MC'd our ceremony so well, making all the guests feel comfortable and aware of activities/locations. DJ Kevin was very attentive to our taste in music and curated the MOST AMAZING dance floor. I thought I had a good idea of what i wanted, which he took into account, but mixed the songs SO perfectly and also added in absolute bangers in between. We had guests age 9-90 dancing all night. Everyone was so disappointed when the night had to end. If we had to do it all over again, we would work with DJ Kevin without a doubt. Thank you AMOS productions and thank you DJ Kevin for making our day as perfect as it was.

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.

I trusted his vision from the start - I met Joseph through corporate lifestyle product shoots I was a part of with Oru Kayak.

Even in a location you've been to before, Joseph can find hidden spots for photos.

It's clear they put a lot of thought and care into making sure every couple's experience feels customized and stress-free. Their communication and professionalism stood out to me from day one. They're very responsive and flexible - qualities that mean so much when you're planning something as important as a wedding. One thing that's worth mentioning is if you're booking through one of the wedding venues they're contracted with, the discount they offer is absolutely unbeatable. It's an incredible value for the level of quality, attention, and service you receive. Even when circumstances changed, they were so understanding and professional about it, which says a lot about their integrity as a business. I'd absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for a trustworthy, family-run photography team that truly cares about your experience from start to finish!!

I wanted to have a Newborn photoshoot . A lot of people recommended different photographers…read more Somehow I came across Kabiri Studio and decided to have a photoshoot with them. Thanks to Google :). Professionalism 5/5 : When I reach out to Ray. He was calm and very accommodating. He answered my questions and the day and date was fixed. Ray and his wife are not only professional but also very gentle and warm. I felt so comfortable having Shabnam handled my newborn. Their professionalism and compassion were top notch. I love how both worked so hard to capture beautiful moments. They brought their little studio and took amazing pictures. Affordability 5/5: while the big names charge insanely. (Although, i understand the vulnerability and complexity handling newborn and amount spent to edit pictures ), I found Kabiri studio a godsend for people who are in budget but also wanted to capture the newborn session. I got lucky as I was able to grab his special discount. Having that discount allowed me to add family pictures. Even though it took us more than 1 hour for the photoshoot, Kabiri studio were generous and gave further discount. I could further tell, both Ray and Shabnam do this with heart and love their work. The newborn and family pictures were great. Thank you for taking ample pictures for us to select. I wish I could select all. The photoshoot itself was very affordable however if anyone go down to their studio in Brentwood their rates are even more affordable. I am very thankful to have come across Kabiri studio and have newborn and family picture taken by them. I love how Ray puts his customer over profit. They are more into building lasting relationships and helping people like us to make meaningful memories I cannot wait to have more photos taken and wholeheartedly recommend them.

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.
