He delivered an excellent product, spending great care to improve the sound quality beyond what I've seen from similar theatrical recordings.

First off, before I get into any of the nitty gritty details, I do have to say that Michael is…read moretalented and has a good eye/vision. That being said, lets get into it. My fiance and I hired Matchstix to film our Vietnamese engagement (dam hoi). It's extremely traditional with a bunch of rituals. We only had 3 weeks to find a videographer and although Matchstix only had 1 yelp review at the time, we liked his videos/portfolio so decided to take a chance. Best of all, his prices were extremely reasonable. We met with Michael and he seemed really accommodating. He asked us questions to try to get to know us. So we signed the invoice and away we went. On the day of the dam hoi, he got to my house early to view my parents place and the neighborhood. He blended in with the events so you barely felt him even though he had a lot of equipment (which was nice). Afterwards, he said he would get us a video in 6-8 weeks. Our dam hoi was on 4/26 and we received a video on 5/21...below the expected time. After viewing it, we noticed that there were a lot of rituals that were left out of the video. Plus, he took the time to videotape us while asking us questions about one another so we were surprised they weren't in there. We asked for him to put the more of the rituals in, some of the interviews, and take out some scenes my parents weren't happy with. When we first met with him, he told us that we could have a first pass edit. When we gave him our desired revisions, he wanted to charge us the same amount we hired him for...which completely defeated the purpose of hiring someone for cheap. He said our desired edits were "too much" for what would be included in a first pass edit. We asked him if he could do whatever he could without getting paid more. We also asked if he could provide the raw files and surprise surprise, he wanted to charge us for the same amount we initially hired him for. He stated that the edits to the video would take 2 weeks. This was on 6/9....he got back to us on 7/20, WELL over his initial timeline. The edited video had a lot more of the rituals, still no interviews, but he took out a key scene where my mother-in-law gives me a gift. We asked him to put it back in, which he did but not sequentially with how the events unfolded that day. Which is funny because in the initial first cut, he put it in exactly where it was supposed to be. At this point I was over it and decided not to go back and forth with him. BOTTOM LINE: if you do decide to hire Matchstix because you like his style, do so but make sure you have a VERY VERY detailed list of all the things you want included, especially if there are a lot of rituals. In the contract, make sure you lay out EXACTLY what you're getting in his quoted price, but don't be surprised when he tries to charge for anything else you ask for. Oh wells, you live and learn.

I got married almost a year ago so I'm posting late, sorry!…read more Michael and his wife are so amazing! They were willing to drive halfway to meet up with us and were great to talk to and asked us a lot of questions.

As someone who works in the film industry, hiring a wedding videographer was an essential part of…read moreour planning process. We were looking for a team that could capture the feel of the day, our relationship, and provide us with quality footage we'd be able to look back on over the years. Brad/Inari went above and beyond our expectations. From the first meeting, working with Brad was a wonderful experience. Brad's approach to wedding films is thoughtful, detailed, and thorough and his work is beautiful, well-done, and extremely professional. In fact, we had such a good experience that my brother and sister-in-law hired Brad for their wedding, as well! I don't think they even looked at anyone else. Seriously, he's that good. Plus, as an added bonus, Brad's footage is so good that you could use any individual frame as an additional wedding photo. Inari is that skilled at capturing your day. If you're looking for a high-quality wedding videographer who's thoughtful, fun to work with, AND a master at what he does- look no further, Inari Film is for you!

Brad did a fantastic job directing and helping us craft an elopement day that was uniquely ours…read more More so than just capturing a beautiful moment, I wanted to share our story with friends and family who couldn't be there for the wedding. Most importantly just didn't want another boring video that no one wants to watch (or rewatch). Looking through Brad's portfolio I saw his strength was in storytelling and while watching his prior works I felt engaged as a viewer. This was my main reason for booking Brad. Brad was great with communication. He scheduled a meeting one month prior to discuss our plans for the day e.g. must have scenes, locations, etc. Brad offered an off day with a location of our choice to film us a couple outside of the wedding context. This worked out beautifully. Brad was pleasant to work when it was just bride and groom and when we had a photographer and bridesmaid on board as well. He was very receptive and accommodating of my request to shoot in brighter / lighter tones than his signature moodier style. Although both the wedding and off day happened to be cloudy, Brad did an amazing job during post processing to adjust for the color. Brad also made sure to incorporate a home video of our cats as they were integral to our story. I am very appreciative of the effort that went into perfecting our video. I love watching it and even after several dozen re-runs it still makes me go "awww". Friends and family have nothing but praises for Brad's work and some have even said they were moved to tears. I think often times people skimp on the videography especially in the elopement context, but regardless of whether you're having an intimate ceremony or a full blown wedding, the video is what captures the emotions, sounds, and allows you to relive the moment. I'm glad we opted for both photography and videography for our event although during the planning phase it seemed a little excessive. However, the day flew by and before I realized it 7 hours came and went. I can't imagine how much faster it would have been if we had a full cast of guests and activities.
