Keith was easy to coordinate with ahead of time and always extremely responsive, which made the planning process smooth. Our photographer Robin was excellent. He helped us schedule the day to make the most of our time while still being mindful of the flow. We had a few special requests, like a photoshoot with our dog Bowie on the Embarcadero, and he made it all happen seamlessly. He also planned ahead to capture us at sunset overlooking the Bay Bridge, which turned into one of our favorite shots. We originally chose Robin for his incredible candid photography (since we're not naturals at posing), and we are so glad we did! Even our guests commented on how many wonderful candids he captured. At the same time, he guided us through posed photos when needed and brought a creative vision that went far beyond the basics we had in mind. It's also clear that Robin truly loves what he does - his enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. On top of everything, he delivered our photos back to us in just one week, which is unheard of and so greatly appreciated. It was a lot of fun working with Robin - he was easygoing, professional, and stuck with us through a long day with such positive energy. We would absolutely recommend him and Lynds Photo & Video to anyone looking for wedding photography.

I trusted his vision from the start - I met Joseph through corporate lifestyle product shoots I was a part of with Oru Kayak. When my partner and I got engaged, I knew he was the person for the big day. He catches the magic light, never misses a sweet moment and has a cinematic way to capture the feeling. He and his team are organized, calm and flexible - so you can get through all of the group shots quickly. He's especially great with little kids. We would definitely recommend him!

Great communication every step of the way - from booking to day of, and with delivery of photos. Joseph was very thoughtful in recommending photoshoot locations, and also accommodating when I had to reschedule because of last-minute travel. The session itself was even more fun than the first time! Working with Joseph is like hanging out with a friend. He's so easygoing and we had a blast with him! Even in a location you've been to before, Joseph can find hidden spots for photos. We're planning to make family photoshoots with Joseph a tradition and have also recommended FATE Factory to several of our friends.

He did an amazing job, my wife and I really enjoy our wedding videos, and I would definitely recommend him to others. He provided competitive pricing and reassured me that he would be the editor of our videos, unlike other vendors that outsource the editing to people you would never meet or know about. #like - Alex is very professional and responsive. I think I spent the least amount of time coordinating with him compared to my other vendors, and everything turned out great. Every client is different, so this is not to say that you won't communicate much with him, but more-so that my outcome reflects his high level of experience. The video quality of the product was high. There were drone shots of the venue which was cool. Alex seamlessly collaborated with the separate photographer vendor, and he provided suggestions to my wife and me on poses and scenery to utilize so that we didn't have to spend time thinking. During the wedding, Alex genuinely expressed how much he enjoyed filming us, and this was significant to me because it shows the passion that Alex has for his work. A vendor could be a good videographer but not necessarily enjoy working; Alex takes it to the next level, where he delivers high quality work while also enjoying what he does. #suggestion - I bought a hard drive to provide to Alex so he could put the video files there for me.

Graham (Final Frame) was the perfect fit! He is very professional and readily available for any questions, etc. He has a quicker turnaround for the video which is a bonus, and I really liked that his presence was very subtle (doesn't feel like you're on a movie set with a ton of bulky equipment). He edited a wonderful video (documentary edit), and I feel like I really get to relive the wedding day, and I love that I get to re-watch all the speeches/special moments of us with our friends and family. One of my favorite parts is that he will interview the guests (optional) and you get to hear and see family/friends video messages. It was awesome and really special. I'd highly recommend Graham! He is excellent!

Graham is very responsive and easy to work with. The day of our June 2021 wedding, Graham showed up on time and got right to work. You hardly even know he's there, which is exactly what we wanted from a videographer. He films "documentary style" and gets all the parts of the day that are such a blur to the bride and groom. My favorite thing about his style is the interviews he does with the bride and groom separately and the interviews he does with guests. It's such a nice touch that makes watching the video even more special. Graham is so affordable given the INCREDIBLE work that he does. I can't believe some people don't get a videographer for their wedding as it was such a special experience to rewatch our day through the eyes of our guests. My sister used Graham a few years ago, and I will be recommending Graham to every future bride and groom. His work is stunning, he doesn't interfere or get in the way, and he adds special touches that make the video even more fun to watch. Thank you so much Graham!!

And we originally…read moredoubted that tip, deciding to not get a wedding video after seeing many different videographers and sample videos. But after seeing Matter Video's and chatting with Dan, we completely changed our minds, and we are so glad we did. Working with Dan was a joy, and he was highly professional and very experienced. He worked seamlessly with our photographer -- so well that we kept forgetting that they weren't part of the same team! His wedding videos are able to capture the raw, emotional highs of a wedding without feeling cheesy or overdone. He really portrays the beauty and happiness that is present throughout the wedding. He captured so many details and moments that we didn't get photos of. We recommend him even more if you are having your wedding at Nestldown, as he clearly knew how to navigate all the best shots and lighting and timing throughout Nestldown.  He was friendly, easy to work with, clear in his directions, and also got us our sneak peek video within 24 hours of the end of the wedding. We loved our sneak peek so much that we opted for the longer video package! Thank you for the best keepsake! -Nickie & Jonathan, Nestldown June 2025
