    Jeff Fong and the Film Squad filmed our wedding at the UC Berkeley Botanical Garden on May 30, 2015. I am so grateful for this team of talented videographers. Our photographer (Stephanie Haller of Ahava Studios) recommended them to us, and we could not be more happy! The whole team was so much fun to work with. They were all professional and bubbling with creativity and positive energy the whole wedding day. Leading up to the wedding, my husband had a couple phone calls with Jeff, and we even had a video chat with all three of us to discuss our vision and expectations for our wedding day. Jeff was absolutely full of amazing ideas, and on the day, he would be struck with moments of inspiration on a cool angle or scene. We just watched the final product and were just blown away by how effortlessly they captured so many sentimental and beautiful moments. The film crew blended right into the flow of the wedding and caught many candid interactions, as well as deeply meaningful interviews with our wedding party. I cannot recommend them highly enough to be a part of your special day! :)

    Jeff and his wonderful team have been there to capture two of the most important days of my life. It's truly refreshing to work with someone who you can tell loves what they do. From the moment, we first spoke, I knew that this is his passion. He made me and my wife feel very comfortable and had an easy-going demeanor when getting all the shots he needed to tell our story. Jeff and Joshua were the most instrumental people in planning and executing my surprise proposal aside from my now wife. I had several emails and phone calls with Jeff to make sure that TFS was the right team for my surprise proposal. Jeff traveled from Sacramento to San Francisco to meet me at the site and help me plan the proposal. I laid out what I initially envisioned, and he was very insightful. He brought up many things that I had not thought of, such as flow, lighting, and how certain structures/backgrounds would make a more dramatic impact on the surprise and video. We came up with a new plan together, and stayed in close contact with me until the day of. He got in contact with a couple of my friends who were helping me organize the event and orchestrated the entire thing while I drove my soon to be fiancée over. A couple unexpected hiccups came up, but Jeff was calm and rolled with the punches. He made sure I was ready and calmed my nerves while prepping me with the mic. Jeff came up with cool idea for shots, and got a ton of great footage. He was even nice enough to take some professional photos. He gives great direction, and has an eye for making things look good. If I had to choose one word to describe Jeff, it would be storyteller. He chose the perfect music and sound bites that effortless flowed with the video. He discussed the shots, pace and worked with us on direction and feel. He really made sure that we got exactly what we wanted. Jeff, Izzy & Vicky documented moments of my wedding in a way that I wasn't even able to comprehend while it was happening. If I were to give any advice to a couple before their wedding, it would be to slow down and take it all in. Everything moves at the speed of light, and it will all be over before you know it. It was all too overwhelming for me, and I didn't realize how fast the day flew by. Thank goodness Jeff & The Film Squad was there tirelessly filming every detail of the day. They gave us an inside look at our friends, family and the venue while my wife and I were busy taking photos. They interviewed our guest, captured every decoration, got amazing footage of our vows, toast, and the entire celebration. And most impressive, they somehow managed to make my atrocious dance moves look good. There was a very quick turnaround time, and we received a fantastic teaser, & beautiful wedding video as well as a longer video of the entire day. Everyone at TFS is talented, and fun to work with. I have, and will continue to recommend The Film squad to anyone who wants to work with an amazing cinematographer. In fact, several of my friends have worked with him for their weddings and proposals because TFS are professionals that always deliver quality content.

    My wedding day!

My father is "Kibei" meaning born in USA , then at a young age returning to Japan to be raised. A few months had passed since my conversation with my cousin. I received an package from Japan containing photo copies of my father as a child, and original studio photo's of my father in school uniform. The pictures were taken in 1931 and we're fading fast from being so old. I was quite hesitant in trying to have these pictures restored mainly because of the high cost of restoring photo's. But I knew that if I don't restore them now, they would be gone forever! My decision in picking the right photo studio to do the job was ( the business had to be local and have great reviews on "Yelp". My wife and I had no idea as to the cost of restoring old photos so we brought them in for an estimate. There are times when everyone is on assignments and the business in closed. Fortunately the sign read open as we drove by! (Yah !) Roger was quite helpful in explaining the pricing process and proceeded to scan the photo's. In this way he can see the extent of the damage and determine the price. Even though the pictures were faded, the damage was minimal. Roger restore the photos on the spot. "Great" ! And the price was far less than I expected. Thanks to Roger I have restored photos of my father that will last a lifetime and generations to come ! Thanks for reading!

    I can't even express how lucky I was to have Pearl and Anthony capture our wedding day…read more I know that my wedding day went on without a hitch because of the family, friends and excellent wedding vendors we had surrounding us. If you've ever planned a wedding, you know - it takes a village. In my opinion, the wedding photographer is BY FAR one of the most important vendors at your wedding. Think about it for a second...without a photographer, you will never have the tangible memories in your hands or hanging on your walls. Sure, you're left with actual memories, but how are you going to decorate with that!? I kid, I kid. But, in all honesty, I was BLOWN AWAY with the work that Pearl and Anthony put in. We had over 1,000 photos that they had to edit and get back to us...that's insane. I posted over 700 photos to my personal social media account, because it was so hard not to show the world ALL of the beautiful moments from our big day. They captured it all -- from the detailed shots of the decorations and attire to the more intimate moments with Shawn and I after we said our "I DOs," from the silliness and fun caught with our wedding party and big smiles captured from our family photos, I loved each and every one of their photos. I posted some on this review...and even that was hard to narrow down! Trust me when I say, you're getting quality from Red Cart Studios, and a level of detail that you didn't know was possible. Plus, their photo booth was crazy fun. I highly recommend this company, because if you get half as good of photos that I received, you're be incredibly happy with the results. Pearl and Anthony are the definition of a 5-star business. BOOK. THEM. NOW! You won't regret it!

They are detail oriented, organized and make you feel like a King or Queen. They are a dynamic duo who work very well as a team. I especially enjoyed how Pearl photographed the girls for photos before the first look, while Anthony was photographing the guys getting ready. Trust me when it came to picking photographers for our wedding, it was tough. My husband (fiancé at the time of selecting) is a professional sports photographer. He wasn't going to settle for anything but the best for our special day. Red Cart Studios were the first photographers to even catch his eye. Peal and Anthony make you feel comfortable right away and guide you through important decisions before and during the wedding. Our shots turned out great! I can't wait to use them in the future for other milestone events too.

    When I got married in 2014, I had used their photo booth company. If I were basing my review just…read moreon that experience, I would have given them 5 stars. However, it is clear the company has changed and their marketing has now resorted to greasy car salesman tactics. Congratulations, you just lost a customer who has recommended your company numerous times. I have been looking for a pet photographer to get updated pics of my furbabies and met a nice person at the tri-county home show. The photographs looked great and I grabbed your information. She said they were doing a raffle for a free shoot so I signed up. I realized that they would probably reach out... but not the 8 times in one day that I got. In one of the texts I received, it said I was a "finalist" for winning the free shoot and to reach out to them to set up a time to discuss (i saw the text but didn't have time). When I got ANOTHER call this morning, I spoke to the woman on the phone and she was extremely pushy about setting up a photo shoot time without even discussing pricing, etc. I explained to her that I signed up for the raffle and asked if I had won since I have received so many calls in one day. The line got silent for a while and then she said that there was a misunderstanding and she would add me to the no contact list. She then promptly hung up. I don't know who they are using for their sales... but whoever it is has left a bad impression of your company. Too bad because you were wonderful before.

However, my mindset was otherwise pre-occupied and I wanted a re-do. The opportunity for the "steal her session" came about and I decided to give this liberating experience another go. The boudoir comes with make-up pampering, wardrobe changes with some assistance in figuring out what outfits to use for the shoot. You are then brought into a room, given the space to change and when the photog re-enters the whole world changes. They ease you into it by showing you poses, and walking you through the entire process piece by peace and each corner of the room sets the scene for fabulous classy photos. The reveal is scheduled for your leisure, it is then that you decide on which package to purchase- payment plans are available upon request. I chose to go with a 40 photo package and the narrowing down from 138 to 40 was very very difficult.
