Needless to say, because those two brides were so happy with the quality of their videos. they couldn't resist sharing their feedback with me. I'm impressed with what I saw of their wedding video highlights (I was at both their weddings), and they did such a wonderful job of capturing their weddings that you want to re-watch the videos, just to relive those memorable moments. Bottom Line: Planning a wedding isn't easy, so I'm glad that I know exactly who I want to turn to for the video. Especially because I have so much family abroad, I know that sending them copies of the video will be the next best thing to having them be there. Couture Cinema produces such high quality videos, I'll be proud to be able to send my family copies of my wedding video that they'll be able to cherish as much as I will for years to come!

This is a long overdue review since my husband and I got married almost a year ago but I must say…read moreYaro and Couture Cinema rock! We requested a casual/fun/vintage feel and he and his team totally delivered. There was a part, or I should say a person, in the video that we unfortunately no longer wanted in the video after the "final edit" and he took the clip out quickly and seemlessly at no charge. The end result was a stunning 7:20min video. He gave us the file and a link to easily share with family and friends. It's shorter than other wedding videos I've seen but honestly, it does the job and allows my husband and I to watch it over and over and over again without making a big event out of it. People have warned me about getting a videographer saying it's expensive and it's a waste of money because "When will you ever watch it again, really?" Couture Cinema solves both issues with their mini movie. It's an affordable, quality wedding video you can watch over and over again. Thanks Couture Cinema!

I can highly recommend Gaelen as a wonderfully skilled artist as well as someone that is flexible and able to interpret customer requests.

My experience with Bravo was absolutely amazing. We registered for a conference late (my fault),…read moreand were in a tight bind to get pens with our logo on them. I thought I would have to give out some other random gifts at our booth without our logo on them until I called Bravo. Mark at Bravo expedited everything for me, and got our pens delivered to our doorstep three days before the conference! I was truly amazed by the customer service Mark and his team provided. I was initially worried that I would not receive the product or would be waiting up until the day of the conference checking the mail and hoping they would show up. Instead, I got the opposite. I got multiple emails a day about status, stock checks, logo design, product design, shipping updates with a tracking number, etc so that all the decisions could be made and the product could ship on time. Everything worked out flawlessly and the pens we ordered were beautiful. Mark, I cannot thank you enough. The first thing I told Mark was "I'm caught in a bind and we need customized pens in a matter of a few days". I was anticipating hearing something like well, that's too bad, we need more time, you should have got your act together earlier, etc...I got the opposite from Mark. He said "The good news is that you don't need them today!" Mark and the rest of the staff at Bravo: THANK YOU!

This has been a long overdue review, as I have had the pleasure of booking Alvin Wu for multiple…read moreoccasions throughout the years for both landscape and portrait photography. My most recent appointment required Alvin Wu's skillful eye for a family photoshoot. What stood out to me was his eye for detail, keeping rapt attention to framing and composition despite an otherwise ordinary situation. I understand that capturing beautiful portraits of my unruly felines was no easy feat, but Alvin made it look effortless. I'd book Alvin again in a heartbeat for his patience, flexibility and uniquely creative perspective. I'm not even sure he actually likes my cats, but he endured my request to take photos of them anyway. The hallmark of a true professional.

We offered a few points for feedback and he was able to apply changes effectively and get us the final product shortly thereafter. We're very happy with how everything went, and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for professional video work of any sort.

They made us feel comfortable on our wedding day despite the fact that it was hectic and we had them running around everywhere! They are so good at capturing all the special moments that we hardly knew they were there. The day passed by so quickly and everything seemed like a blur, so once we saw our video we made comments like, "I don't remember that happening" but there it was all on film!! We couldn't be everywhere all at once but Francis and Ryan captured moments, scenery, and commentary that we missed or forgot! Francis and Ryan were flexible with our schedule as they had to start filming the bridal party getting ready at 4am and they stayed with us till 11pm!! I don't think they knew what they were in for, but they were always full of energy, easy going and pleasant. We had them drive from Orinda, to alameda, to Sunol, and finally to milpitas! They stuck to our schedule, knew where they were going, and came well equipped. I've heard horror stories from friends whose videographers got lost or forgot equipment. Not the Motionscope crew. They were super prepared!! Some videographers can be cheesy with the way they capture or edit videos. The Motionscope crew are not like that! They have mad skills and are always staying current with how they film events and edit the videos. I'm so happy with the way our video turned out as I tear up and laugh everytime I watch it. The music totally flowed with the video and the transitions from scene to scene were smooth! Ryan and Francis take their jobs seriously! They went above and beyond for us. We loved working with them. I just wish I could convince my husband to get married again so we could hire them to capture more memories. I would highly recommend motionscope to anyone looking for high quality, reliable, competent, and fun videographers to work with! Thank you Francis and Ryan for everything and thank you for capturing our special day! You guys rock!!!

They arrived early in the morning to film everything, from establishing shots of the scenery, to the bride getting ready to the family prepping the venue. While filming, you'd hardly know they were there. The team was able to get some incredible behind-the-scenes footage and very authentic moments from the wedding without being in the way or disrupting the proceedings. They also brought top-notch equipment, including a crane, to make sure the end product was of the highest quality. After the event, they edited all the video together into the most amazing highlight reel that we've now showed 100 times. In 2 minutes they were able to capture all the joy, hilarity and tear-inducing moments of the wedding. We couldn't have asked for anything more.
