The next day Tom showed up on time and worked well with our whole team, as he filmed our creative meeting with our celebrity chef. He and his crew member blended in well to the background, which enabled us to carry on naturally--ultimately capturing some beautiful candid moments throughout our design process. For this specific project, we worked with 5 different freelancers, but Tom was the most responsive, dependable, and helpful of them all. Not to mention, the video he produced was top quality and was turned around to us within the week. We also later worked together while I produced a large webisode offsite in Vegas with Zappos. And I have to say that it was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with his team. Even when outside vendors threw some curveballs at us, I felt confident and calm with the Venture Visuals team backing me up. We got all the shots we needed and art directing the final products was a breeze, thanks to the professionalism and vision that Tom and his team bring to each project. I cannot recommend Tom and his team enough. I just wish I had more projects to throw at them so I could work with them more often. Thanks for everything, guys!

The best video production and team of photographers in Santa Barbara!…read more I have a small business based in Santa Barbara and needed some photos and high-end video production shot for an advertisement. I was kind of stressed out finding the right person to promote my business and take the photographs exactly how I wanted, but the team at Viminal Media turned out to be so incredible and they are truly the best in Santa Barbara and even California. We worked on pre-production the week before and made sure they understood my vision correctly. They turned out to be the best photographer I've ever worked with. I also needed some drone footage and very specific cinematography that turned out phenomenal. They were extremely professional and competitive with their pricing compared to other companies in Santa Barbara and Ventura county. Drew was a very motivated and easy guy to work with too. His team listened and understood exactly what I envisioned in my head. In fact, I was so impressed that I am already planning on working with them for a corporate event this spring. If you're looking for someone to photograph, video or help promote your business in any other way, Viminal Media is the team for you. Thanks again!!!

Jennie is not just an incredibly talented videographer, but she's a wonderful human being too. She…read morewas the first vendor we booked for our April 2020 wedding (that obviously was canceled due to Covid) and was super patient and helpful during the almost 2 years we ended up planning our wedding because of multiple cancellations. She gave us tons of recommendations for other vendors, many of whom became instrumental parts of our day, like Kelsey Crews Photo and Tanya of RSVP Weddings & Events. She became a friend throughout the long process of our wedding planning and she even met up with us when we drove down to Santa Barbara to check out some venues and meet some vendors. She showed us this hidden gem of a ceremony venue that I fell head over heels in love with (although unfortunately we didn't get to be married there because I let my husband have his first choice of ceremony venue, as it was one of the only things he actually cared about). My husband and I are both pretty introverted and awkward people, and hate being the center of attention and people looking at us, so we were NOT looking forward to being filmed or photographed. However, Jennie (and our photographer Kelsey Crews) were so warm and sweet and fun that they actually made the photoshoot one of the most enjoyable parts of the day! The 4 of us went off after the ceremony before the reception to film some footage and take photos, and we had an absolute blast! Jennie was even kind enough to send a 1-min sneak peek video the day after our wedding that I got to watch on repeat basically the entire 4.5 hour car ride back to the Bay Area! Choosing Riviera Productions to shoot our day was the single best decision I made throughout this entire process, because without Jennie (and some of the other vendors she introduced us to), we never would have had even close to as perfect a day as we did. The entire day was magic, and we have Jennie to thank for that. Jennie is kind and generous and flexible and we feel very fortunate to have her not just as our videographer, but as a lifelong friend. I really look forward to meeting her for a hike next time we're in Santa Barbara!

Oniracom is keeping the pulse of digital trends and have a commitment to best practices and coming up with strategic digital marketing campaigns and plans. I've worked with a ton of agencies, but Oniracom is uniquely positioned in this market as great artists, strategists and executioners. Which is often hard to find in a digital agency. I have worked with them on projects throughout the years, and despite being a digital executive in my own right, having worked with hundreds of agencies -- when it came time to work on my own endeavors -- they were the first team I called. They are a very distinctive mix or art meets business, which is key to innovate your bottom line.

Taylor showed me around the studio and I was amazed by how many sets they have with very different vibes: coffee shop, cozy interview, paper backdrop wall (and more I can't recall). I have no doubt in their ability to suit any photoshoot and marketing need. I am awkward in front of a camera and working with Christian and Taylor I look natural in my images. A picture says a thousand words which holds more true in this era of social media. Having high quality pictures makes me more confident in how I present myself on social media which carries over to my professional work. I recommend them to anyone in the area. Also I used these services during covid with everyone maintaining distance and keeping safety in mind by wearing masks.

Our wedding morning was stressful to say the least and not a lot was going right or on schedule, but the team for Santa Barbara wedding films really helped us turn it around. They arrived on time, were professional, but also casual enough to make us feel more at ease and comfortable. They all just have overall fantastic attitudes. They even dealt with us being super awkward during some of the funny getting ready filming portions. They worked very very well with all other vendors we hired too, which made things flow more easily and smooth. They were never pushy and stayed less visible for the ceremony and reception. They even made sure to say goodbye before leaving the reception which we appreciated. So excited to see the final product. I wrote this review before getting the videos, because I already know nothing will change my mind about how awesome the team was on our day of lurvvv. I will recommend them to everyone getting married!

The crew of three never once got in the way or questions things we wanted. They quickly captured footage and would give us the space and privacy we wanted. We highly!! recommend this videographer. Their equipment was not bulky and in the way. I would like to acknowledge the young man I had the pleasure of working with on the groom filming portion "Christian". During a hectic time of getting ready and nerves kicking in he managed to help keep me calm and sane while also capturing vital moments of the groom and groomsmen getting ready. His young attitude help capture something unique and special. (side note his outfit was on point!) The drone is a must! make sure to add to your package. We can't wait to see our video. Thank you George and crew!
