My husband and I immediately connected with Marc and our sessions felt very comfortable and fun. Marc's counseling helped us look not as awkward as we felt, since we are not used to getting our photos taken. The resulting photos and videos were stunning! We are so happy that Gala Photo and Films were a part of our vendor team because they captured so many beautiful moments, and added the magical element during the day of our wedding by being so funny and easy to get along with. Marc was able to capture the poses that I requested with the wedding party, our immediate families, and our large families. Communication is an important part to execute this large project and Marc was able to pull through after any inquiry or concern that I had. I only wish that we had the opportunity to meet Gia, but we understand that they are extremely booked and busy. So if their style matches your preference, I would immediately inquire with Gala Photo and Films because they did such a great job and such a joy to work with!

Gala Photo and Films exceeds what would be expected of a wedding photographer. This dynamic duo,…read morehusband-wife team, will quickly grow to be your favorite wedding vendor as their passion and genuineness shines through each call, email, and of course - every photo - that they take. My husband and I had the opportunity to work closely with Gia for our engagement shoot and wedding day and we could not be more grateful for how comfortable she made us feel. We're both a bit awkward in front of a camera but Gia's kindness and professionalism made us feel like naturals! Gala Photo specializes in bright, natural photography which really made them stand out to me during a time where 'moody' and 'burnt' photography was trendy. After receiving our sneak peeks, it became evident to me that these photos will stand the test of time, far past any trend, and that Marc and Gia go above and beyond to make sure each and every photo is perfect. Aside from photography, Gia (and our second shooter for the day, Luis) were excellent in navigating the chaos that a wedding day can bring! From helping to coordinate schedules that didn't involve photography, gathering large groups of friends and family members for photos, and even to Gia giving me a ride to my wedding venue due to a last minute hiccup - they quickly became my pillar of calmness! If we had to do it over again, we would choose Gala! The quality of their photos and their eagerness to work with couples make them an obvious, and the best, choice!

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.

They have a very extensive portfolio on their website, which I loved as it really gave me a sense of the style of filming and editing they do. Once I sent an inquiry, Christina was very responsive and informative. She was also great with communicating with us and our other vendors the few weeks leading up to the wedding, making sure her team's equipment would work with our DJ's audio setup. On wedding day, Christina was absolutely lovely to work with. As someone with no experience being on camera, I loved that she gave tips on suggested movements to make that appeared really natural and beautifully on camera. She made us feel at ease with all the advice. Christina's ability to speak Chinese was a great bonus - it made coordinating with our Chinese-speaking family members much easier and kept everyone on the same page. The finished products turned out amazing. I couldn't be happier with the videos provided and how well everything turned out. Thank you so much to Christina and the team for making our wedding day so special! I'd absolutely recommend working with Filmman Video for anyone looking for a wedding videographer - you definitely won't be disappointed with the results.

The customer service here is abysmal. I called this place 4 times in the afternoon (well after…read moreopening hours) to inquire about film processing because their website is unclear on their services. No one picked up every time, they even just sent me straight to voicemail. I end up just driving over to find the place is not busy at the slightest. They just ignore calls. I decided to make the drive out here and just talk to them in person. I've never met someone more dismissive in my life. The owner cuts off everyone who speaks to him. Right in front of me there was a sweet old woman who noticed there was a cash discount that was posted on the well after she handed over her film, she kindly asked to pay in cash for the discount and the owner told her "Nah I already typed in your order I'm not changing it." Shoo's her away after that exchange, and then says goodbye calling her by her first name. Which tells me this is a regular customer that he treats like trash. I'm next, I pull out my super 8 film and before I can even ask a question he says "nah we don't do those you have to go somewhere else" Which is fine. Not everyone processes super 8 (even though the website says they do,) which is an old medium. But the delivery and customer service were horrible. Someone should have answered the phone in the first place so I wouldn't be here "bothering" this guy on his very busy day of sitting around doing nothing. Also, This guys website shouldn't be coded/designed like a 6th grader did it, so that way the information can be clear and easy to read. Their website explicitly says "We transfer 8mm and 16mm film" which makes me believe this owner is just lazy and chooses not to work. It's sad really, the film medium is a dying industry and there are very few people who can be there to revive this medium and unfortunately this one in the Bay Area can choose to help this art form, but instead they choose to be a lazy business owner who has disdain for people who want to support his dying business. I've received better customer service from fast food chains than this place. If/when his business fails it's not because of a lack of customers or demand of services. But at the fault of a pathetic and bitter business owner who does not deserve it. To everyone reading I recommend looking for mail in film transfer. They are much more accommodating than this pathetic place.

They have always done a great job and the orders were ready when promised. One of my recent orders was especially challenging. It was 30-year old cassette tapes of me interviewing my 98 year old grandmother over the phone. My voice was too loud and hers too faint. But they managed to improve the balance and remove much of the tape hiss. I can now enjoy my grandmother's stories of growing up in the early 1900's.
