14/10 MUST HIRE If you are on the fence about hiring a…read morevideography team, get off the fence and hire Etch Films. Etch Films exceeded our expectations and captured our wedding day PERFECTLY!!! The wedding video was one of the most important aspects of our wedding (in my eyes) so I knew we had to choose someone epic to capture it and edit it to perfection. My husband and I didn't want a "cliche" or "cheesy" wedding video that looked like everyone else's....you know the type. We wanted something fun, exciting, unique...and Etch films was 100% the way to go. From our first meeting with Jordan and Julie, we knew we had made the right decision. Your videography team is so important, and you want to choose people that you get along with! Jordan and Julie are the sweetest and coolest people/ vendors that we have ever met, like literally. They make you feel 100% comfortable and they bring out the best in their clients on wedding/event day! We were so impressed with the creativity of Etch films and we appreciated that they captured all the amazing moments of our wedding day and somehow managed to also be "behind the scenes" most of the time! They are so talented when it comes to editing the footage and putting it to awesome music. We left it up to them to choose the music and they knocked it out of the park! They are wonderful at finding out your favorite parts of wedding videos and the vibe you are going for, and making sure that your video reflects that. Etch films truly cares about you and they go above and beyond to make sure that they deliver the perfect video. We were so impressed that even the music was perfectly synced up with what we were doing at that moment in the video! One of the best decisions we ever made for our wedding was investing in Etch Films. They are a vendor team like no other, they are amazingly talented humans, they are wonderful people. Do yourself a favor; invest in a team that will capture the joyful, silly, fun, candid, and amazing moments of your day. This will be what you watch after your wedding, you will show this to family and friends for years to come. Make sure it is a legendary video. The ONLY way to ensure that you get the best video ever, is to go with Etch Films. They are worth everything, they are amazing. We love them! :)

The absolute best there is! Jordan and Julie were right beside us for every detail of our day and…read morewe will be forever grateful for these memories on film. Day of, they were always around with a smile on their faces, capturing the moments I was afraid everyone else missed but were also somehow completely invisible, never ever in the way. Even my Mother commented multiple times during the day about how pleasant and kind they were while also being on top of every single moment of the day. I work in the wedding industry and kindness is rarely a thing you see but it is even more rare when partnered with talent on this level. Also, I am very awkward in front of the camera and I require a little direction, our photographer took a very hands off approach so having the very thoughtfully composed shots and lighting that were very carefully directed by Jordan and Julie are invaluable to having the beautiful moments of the day preserved for years to come. As a visual person, I was most impressed with their story telling, they really understood and conveyed the theme and story I had in my mind of the day without every having to be told or spelled out for them. Their art direction, cinematography and ability to tell a story are as good as it gets! After watching our film an unreasonable number of times, I still pick up on nuances where they timed the flip of a dress of the movement in a shot to match up with the music. There are easter eggs hidden throughout the film for us to find and I have so much fun explaining them to friends when watching. Etch Films is next level and I feel both lucky and impossibly grateful that I get to relive our wedding day anytime I want. In fact, I'm going to watch it again right now because it is my favorite thing to watch. I almost feel sorry for my friends who hired other videographers because there is no comparison in the videos they have when put next to our stunning film. And if you don't believe me, please go watch the film, it really does speak for itself.

Encor previously shot engagement & wedding photo's for my brother-in-law's and the pictures came out absolutely wonderful, so we decided to also go with them for our engagement and wedding photography needs. They made the engagement shoot extremely easy, providing a list of recommended shooting locations and even scoped out the perfect area for us based on our request. On our wedding day we were worried as heavy rains were forecasted. The team did a great job of scouting out the area and giving us plan B's and plan C's in case we needed alt shooting locations. The photography was amazing and did a great job of helping us keep our energy up while keeping everything relaxed. The photographers were so creative with different lighting effects and camera angles despite not being familiar with the new wedding venue we chose. We feel they certainly got the best photos possible and were great with making accommodations for requests during the ceremony and reception. We received a few sneak peeks of our photos and are absolutely blown away so far! We couldn't be happier with choosing Encor and would encourage anyone that is looking for the best possible team and pictures to utilize them!

Kelly and tony were kind and followed up with my timeline I had created with my day of coordinator for the wedding and leading up to the day they were great to work with. They also did our engagements which we loved since we feel like we could be awkward but they were wonderful for our reception. I will cherish all these photos I have with family and friends and we can thank them enough for spending a 14 hour day with us. We can't wait to see our video from the best day!

From the very beginning, Ryan and his entire team were professional, responsive, organized, and a pleasure to work with. They made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process and truly cared about making sure every special moment of our wedding day was captured perfectly. On the wedding day, they brought a full team of photographers and videographers, along with drone coverage that captured stunning aerial views of the venue and the beautiful surroundings. Their attention to detail, creativity, and ability to capture both the big moments and all of the little candid moments in between were truly impressive. The photo booth was also a huge hit with our guests. Everyone loved being able to take fun pictures and instantly access them by scanning a QR code, and it created so many memories for our family and friends to enjoy. The quality of the photos was amazing, and it was such a great addition to the celebration. We have received a few preview photos so far, and we are already blown away by the quality. The images are absolutely stunning, and they captured the emotions, energy, and joy of our wedding day perfectly. We have received so many compliments from our family and friends about how amazing the photos look. What stood out the most was the professionalism and positive attitude of everyone on the Corcino Productions team. They arrived prepared, worked seamlessly with our other vendors, and helped keep everything running smoothly while making us feel relaxed and able to enjoy our special day. Choosing a wedding photography and videography company is one of the most important decisions you make when planning a wedding, and we are so grateful that we chose Corcino Productions. They exceeded all of our expectations and gave us memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. We highly recommend Ryan and the entire Corcino Productions team to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and trustworthy team to capture their wedding or special event.

I had originally inquired with Kelley when I got engaged in 2010. My husband & I were her 1st 2012…read moreinquiry actually (hey, you have to inquire early if you want to get the best pricing). Kelley was very responsive in getting back to me via email. When my husband and I first met Kelley & her husband Paul, we met them at a Starbucks in Costa Mesa. They were really nice and very easy going to talk to. They answered all of our questions. My husband was really against having a videographer at the wedding because he thought this was one expense that was not necessary. But after he spoke with them, he thought it would be okay to make allowance for one in our budget. After we met with them for about an hour, I knew that I would not feel awkward around them if they filmed our wedding. But as luck would have it, unfortunately they were not available on our wedding day (we had originally told them another date and they were available but once we found our venue, we were told our original date was not available and had to change it. With this new date change, they were not available). I was truly heart broken when Kelley told me that they were not available on our day to film and had to endure a frustrating search for another videographer team. And to be honest, I have seen so many videos (and I mean a TON) and none, absolutely NONE can compare to what 618 studios do, and at the price they had originally quoted us in 2010. Either the videos were really shaky at times and awkward panning of the camera or if it was nice and clean cut, the price was two times as much as what 618 was going to charge us. So even though my husband and I did not end up having Kelley & Paul film our wedding day, we still would gladly highly recommend them to any future bride & groom. (And yes every now and then I like to watch some of their recent videos because they do such an amazing job telling the story of 2 people starting their 1st new lives with each other) Their films are of high quality and nice and clean shots and transitions between scenes of the day (something I envy of all of these lucky brides & grooms who had them at their wedding). Honestly, I still wished that they had filmed our wedding because the videographer we hired is not nearly as awesome and our video wasn't nearly as clean cut and had some shaky shots (but was the next best thing for us, within our budget) and unnecessary camera panning.

One of my favorite things from our wedding is our wedding video. Kelley and Paul did such an…read moreamazing job. I really wanted videography for our wedding but the pricing was just crazy! I found 618 on a blog and was impressed with how artistic their videos were. I knew they were just getting started in the business and were young, which did make me a little nervous. But after meeting them and seeing plenty of examples of their work, we were sold. Both my husband and I feel like we were able to hire this great vendor before they "hit it big." On the wedding day, Kelley and Paul were non intrusive. When watching the video I kept thinking "I didn't know they were there for that!" They are very professional and we couldn't be more pleased with the finished product. We love that we have our entire ceremony recorded, as well as the speeches. Turn around time was so fast! Our trailer was ready 3 days after the wedding and we had our copy of the full film about 6 weeks later. I highly recommend 618 studios to all couples looking for modern, "non cheesey" wedding videography.

What stood out right away was how hands-on and collaborative Jason was throughout the entire process. He didn't just show up and film, he helped shape the direction, offered creative input, and made sure everything aligned with how we wanted to present our brand. Filming day was smooth and surprisingly efficient. He created a relaxed environment for our team, which made a huge difference in how natural everyone came across on camera. The finished videos look sharp, professional, and most importantly, authentic. They represent our company in a way that feels genuine, which is exactly what we were hoping for. If you're looking for someone who is reliable, creative, and easy to work with, JKreative Media is a great choice. We would absolutely work with Jason again.

We had a very small, intimate backyard wedding. Our wedding photos came out so beautiful and the video highlight reel transported us back to that day, bringing all the feels along with it. I really loved Anne's communication, especially with our phone call a month before the wedding to work out the kinks. Absolutely ADORED her direction day-of. No wasted time and she made us look great in every photo! David was so slick with the camera work as well, half the time we didn't even know he was there! Kim did an amazing job editing our highlight video and really captured all the details in 3 minutes. He synced it well with the music we chose too (Birds of a Feather by Billie Eilish). I highly recommend Something New and Blue team to capture your day!!!

It was really important to me to have a copy of the raw footage from my wedding, because I knew I was going to be too busy to remember the ceremony and the toasts, and all those other important moments. Anne and Dave offered a package that included this footage, and at a reasonable price. The other videographer I had found who offered this was charging an exorbitant amount. (2) I spoke with Anne before hiring her, and I really liked her. She responded to my email inquiry very quickly. When we talked about their packages, she gave me her honest opinion--that, for what I was looking for, one of their cheaper packages would be sufficient. She could have tried to upsell me, but the fact that she didn't showed me that she has integrity. I also just really liked her energy when I spoke with her. She seemed really earnest, cheerful, and supportive. I'm so pleased with the work that Anne and Dave did. They arrived early to the venue and worked nonstop until after the first dance. Our photographer seemed to enjoy working with them, to the extent that I thought they were already friends (but they'd all just met that day). Anne and Dave both had good suggestions for certain shots they wanted, and even recommended some shots to the photographer. Lastly, there was a point before the ceremony where I was extremely stressed and frustrated, and Anne came over under the guise of fixing my necklace, but I think she was also trying to help me take deep breaths. She wasn't being condescending or anything, it was just a natural extension of her calm energy. That moment helped ground me, and helped me feel like I had someone supporting me. I could cry just thinking about it, because she knew what I needed in the moment. We received our highlight video less than 2 months after the wedding, and it's so cute! I'm excited to go through the raw footage next. This experience has been 100% positive.

From the very beginning, Meg was our point of contact. She was very professional and incredibly quick to respond to any questions we had. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Every question we had was answered quickly and clearly, which made planning so much less stressful. Our lead photographer was Kevin. We met at our engagement shoot where he made us feel completely comfortable (we can be quite awkward!). The engagement photos came out beautiful and people loved our save-the-date photos! The wedding day was super hectic but Kevin was super PRO with handling the chaos. Dan was also great as our second photographer -he is always smiley! They were calm, reassuring, and knew exactly what they were doing. The photos are absolutely stunning, beautiful, light and airy. The lighting, composition, and attention to detail truly exceeded our expectations. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the entire day all over again, from the big moments to the small candid ones we didn't even realize were happening. We cannot recommend them enough!
