I hired Marina's team to film a One Person Play called The Father Daughter Dance in San Francisco…read more It was a two camera shot and the results are tremendous. The quality of the video I received was first class. The way the team integrated both cameras in the shot came through was perfect. Marina was superb to work with. She was diligent about scoping out and creating a contract from my needs. She was responsive and flexible when we discussed what her work would be that night. I loved how her cameras were small and high quality not taking up a lot of seats in the theater was really valuable as I could sell more seats. Her work post production was remarkable. She was professional as we iterated on that the ultimate video looked and sounded like. I'm SO happy I hired her to do that post production work, no way I could have done that myself. Finally, she created a great trailer clip that I can now send to any potential venues that I want to book my show at. I strongly recommend Marina's team to work with you on shooting a theatrical performance like mine or any other video needs.

We truly cannot say enough incredible things about Darren with Reel Eyes Media. He was our…read morevideographer for our wedding in San Francisco, and honestly, I wish I could hire him for every major highlight in our lives moving forward. Originally, Darren had certain package requirements based on the expectation that we were planning a full wedding celebration. Even when our plans were still in flux, he consistently followed up in the most professional and thoughtful way. His emails always seemed to arrive at the perfect time...never pushy, never overwhelming- just gently letting us know he was there and available. It felt like he was patiently waiting in the wings, supporting us before we even officially booked. When we ultimately decided to elope, Darren didn't hesitate. He completely customized a package just for us, making it feel just as meaningful and intentional as a large wedding day. That flexibility alone meant the world. What truly sets Darren apart is his artistry and collaboration. He worked seamlessly with our photographer and we later learned that having a videographer and photographer move in sync like that is actually rare. There was zero ego, zero friction...just pure teamwork and creativity. The final video? Absolutely breathtaking. He under-promised and wildly over-delivered. I sent him countless text messages while planning (likely in a flurry of bridal emotions), and he handled me with so much patience and grace. The end result was the most beautiful, tear-jerking film that we proudly played at our wedding reception. There wasn't a dry eye in the room. Hiring Darren was, without question, one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire process. If you are even considering booking him- THIS IS YOUR SIGN. Hire Darren for anything you need captured. You will be endlessly grateful that you did.

His calm presence, kindness, and passion were felt every step of the way. We are beyond happy and so thankful to have had him as part of one of the most important days of our lives. We would recommend him without hesitation

Over the course of my career as a wedding photographer, I've worked with countless videographers…read moreand video companies, and Jesse Garrison and his team at Love Unique Studios are among the very best in the SF Bay Area. We first worked together in 2014 on a lavish three-day Indian wedding with a lot of moving parts. We immediately clicked: we both bring a cinematic aesthetic to our work, so our preferences in lighting matched up nicely. While our working styles aren't identical, I appreciate that Jesse respects the needs of other vendors and takes a collaborative approach. He communicates clearly about how he plans to set up and what he intends to do, and he'll adjust when needed (though I do my best to respect his needs too). Weddings aren't just about the photo or video -- they're about the client experience, and Jesse understands this. He's wildly creative without pulling focus from the couple's grounded experience. We bounce ideas off each other, and I like to think we both come away with shots we might not have gotten otherwise. Another quality I value in Jesse is his calm demeanor. His approach is deliberate and precise -- he knows exactly what he wants, which makes him incredibly efficient when setting up creative shots. And his love of film and cinematography always comes through in the final product. He somehow takes an already lovely wedding and cranks up the storytelling through his editing and style. If you need a creative videographer who's a team player and delivers a cinematic experience, Love Unique Studios is a great fit.

Wow -- this review is long overdue for Jesse and his amazing team!…read moreWe had our wedding in April 2025, and I honestly can't thank Jesse enough for everything he did for us throughout this journey. After my fiancé's sweet proposal, it was time to plan -- and everyone always told me, "If there's one thing you shouldn't go cheap on, it's photography and videography." We wanted our wedding to feel like a movie, especially our Grand Entrance. I started researching and came across one of Jesse's wedding videos filmed at the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose. It was cinematic, creative, and completely unique. At that moment, I knew Jesse was the perfect person to bring our vision to life. From the very first conversation, Jesse was so easy to connect with -- professional, approachable, and honestly just a fun person to be around! He's got this cool, laid-back vibe (you'll know what I mean once you meet him). We trusted him completely -- even choosing to work with his recommended photographer. Jesse actually met us in Las Vegas to film our Grand Entrance video, and it was an absolute blast. It never felt awkward, and he made the entire experience fun and comfortable. In just a single day, he captured everything we needed. He was also super proactive, messaging us with creative ideas to make the video even better. One of his best ideas was to include our wedding party -- they loved being part of it! Here's the part that really stuck with me: About a week before the wedding, stress was getting to my fiancé and me. We'd never argued before, but we found ourselves not even talking because of all the last-minute planning pressure. Then Jesse told me the video was ready. We sat quietly together to watch it, not sure what to expect. Within the first few seconds, we were smiling and laughing -- and by the end, we were both so excited for the wedding again. That video reminded us why we were getting married and how much we love each other. I truly believe it saved us from letting stress overshadow this special time. Even now, whenever we feel overwhelmed, we watch Jesse's video to bring us back to that feeling. To sum it all up: Jesse and his photographer team were incredible from start to finish. Our final wedding video was everything we hoped for -- cinematic, emotional, and beautifully done. We've shared it with friends and family, and everyone loves it. Hiring Jesse was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. If you want a wedding video that's more than just a recording -- one that tells your love story and keeps reminding you why you chose each other -- work with Jesse. You won't regret it.

Alex and his team were there on time, very professional, and so fun to work with! He was also so quick to respond to my emails. My husband and I were pretty nervous at first but Alex made us feel comfortable from the beginning. He captured our natural selves and how we love to smile and laugh that our video turned out exactly how we wanted it to be. We were crying all over again while watching the final edit and WOW, we were blown away! Alex even captured the raw moment of my father and I hugging which was very touching and means so much because he is currently battling stage 4 sarcoma cancer. We will remember that moment for the rest our lives. Thank you again, Alex!! You were so wonderful to work with. We will look back at our wedding video and relive these unforgettable moments forever! We have already watched our video more than 10x! Lol If you are second guessing hiring a videographer and a great one at that, don't hesitate and hire IQ Videography. You will NOT be disappointed!!

I first met Vinny when he filmed my best friend's wedding back in 2018. We had a watch party when…read moreshe got her wedding video, and I remember getting SO emotional watching it. Since then, he's filmed two other weddings for people I know, and even though I wasn't even at those weddings, I still got really emotional watching their films. That's how good he is at telling the story of a wedding day. So when we finally had a date for our own wedding, Vinny was actually the first vendor I reached out to. I already knew that if there was one vendor I was willing to splurge on, it was going to be our videographer, because after the wedding is over, the video is one of the few things that lets you truly experience the day again. Vinny and his team captured our wedding weekend so beautifully. His edits are incredibly cinematic. I love the transitions, the drone shots, his signature ring shot, and especially the way he captures all of the little moments happening throughout the day. Your wedding goes by SO fast, and you can only be in one place at a time, so there were so many interactions and moments we either missed completely or didn't fully take in. Getting to see those afterward was one of my favorite parts of watching our films. And I really do mean films, because Vinny doesn't just send you a highlight reel and a bunch of footage. We received a 1-minute Instagram edit, a 10-minute feature film, a 2-hour documentary edit, AND all of the footage captured by his team. Each one gives us a different way to relive the wedding, and the amount of care and work that goes into putting everything together really shows. One of my favorite things is that the best friend whose wedding first introduced me to Vinny still watches her wedding video every year on her anniversary, now with her kids. I remember thinking about that when we booked him. I wanted something we'd actually want to watch again and again, not just footage we'd save somewhere and forget about. We absolutely love love love how our videos turned out. Vinny and his team were such a pleasure to work with, and we're so grateful for the time and care they put into capturing one of the most important weekends in our life. We would recommend Vinny and his team a thousand times over and are so happy we chose them to capture our wedding.

They captured so many amazing moments without ever feeling intrusive, and they made us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. We were also impressed by the quick turnaround. Just over a month after the wedding, we received a 1-minute Instagram teaser, a 6-minute highlight film (our favorite!), and a full one-hour documentary edit that captured the entire day. Being able to relive the ceremony, speeches, dances, and all the little moments in between has been incredibly special. The editing was excellent. Everything flowed naturally, with a perfect balance of fun, upbeat moments and emotional ones that felt genuine rather than overdone. We especially loved how Vinny incorporated short interviews and messages from our guests throughout the videos. It made the final films feel so personal and unique. We're so grateful to have these memories captured so beautifully and would highly recommend Vinny to any couple looking for a talented wedding videographer.
