Long overdue on a long review (our wedding was in June haha), but wanted to share about our…read moreexperience with Pure Devotion. The team, Eric and Connie, is great - they're super sweet and passionate people. They offer a broad selection of services for you to mix and match depending on your needs, so if you are an overwhelmed couple like we were, then this is perfect for you :) We used them for videography, flowers and props, lighting, and photobooth. Videography: Eric handles all the videography and photography, and he's very knowledgeable about his craft. We were a little on the fence when we first started looking for a videographer (we didn't know if we could justify spending thousands of dollars for a short video), but Eric was very no pressure and just happily showed us samples of his work. He patiently made sure he understood what we were looking for, we ended up going with the "cinematic" style 4K highlight video (~3 minutes long). On the wedding day he showed up with 3 assistants and a drone to capture all the footage. It took roughly 3 months to get the video link and he mails a USB with the remaining raw footage. He went the extra mile and helped us edit the raw footage as well so that it was watchable and not a jumble of clips. Flowers: Connie did an amazing job with the flowers. I just sent her pictures of what I wanted, we discussed which flowers were important to have, and she delivered beautiful bouquets, aisle pedestals, guest table decor, and the dining centerpieces. I actually wanted taller centerpiece vases than what she had in inventory and she went out and got some! Flowers looked fresh and great through the night. We also had her help us with draping background for our garden setting. She went out to the site to make sure the draping would work and checked in with me before making adjustments day of. She kindly stayed through the ceremony to help move the flowers to the reception area afterwards. She has a ton of props in the studio, so don't forget to ask her what you want to rent! Lighting: We rented uplights to put up around the room. They also have pin lights and other fancy lights. The uplights were technically fine but I think we had missed communication on the color, so check beforehand :( Photobooth: Unfortunately can't recommend this service. Supposed to be backdrop with props manned by an attendant that prints out the photos. Camera ended up being unattended, photos mostly blurry/out of focus. Thank you, team! Couldn't have done it without you!

They had…read morebeautiful decorations/lighting and backdrops at our banquet, great floral arrangements and bouquets, a great DJ, and a great photo booth. They were very responsive to our e-mails and texts and went over and beyond to ensure a smooth wedding! Eric was very flexible to our last minute requests on backdrop design and photo booth strips. Connie spent a lot of time with us the week of our wedding to tie up loose ends. They are a great team! I highly recommend Pure Devotions to anyone looking for wedding services. It's much more easier than going to multiple vendors. Thank you, Connie and Eric for making our wedding run smoothly!

Run away, don't ruin your special day. He is extremely rude, unprofessional and will ruin your…read morewedding memories. He is all nice in consultation, but as soon as full payments are made he goes scarce. On wedding day he doesn't show up at all but sends some random staff we haven't met at all. Our Ceremony started at 1 PM and the staff were in a hurry going home at 3 PM while we had booked till 5 PM. They kept insisting they have another booking to go to, while Raja assured this would be his only booking for the day. Even 2 Months after the wedding and we were still waiting for our pictures. He just kept ignoring our emails, calls and texts. Finally when he picks up the call he argues with arrogance like we are asking him a favor. He falsely claims that he has already sent all the pictures, while he didn't send any. After a lot of struggle when we got hold of videos, we were extremely disappointed with the horrible quality of videos. We sent over several songs to be included in our highlights and wedding videos. None of the songs were added in videos. No efforts were put in shooting videos. We could have better off just putting a camera on Tripod and it would have been captured much better. They didn't even bother to give a mic to the Priest for wedding audio. I believe these all were outsourced and he didn't even bother to glance over before sending it over.   Key moments were missing from the wedding pictures. He didn't even bother to convert key moments like pictures with family. You would be better off handing over a camera to one of your wedding guests than hiring Raja.  I would have given it a 0 Star if I could.

It was a huge relief during our big day knowing we had a team that knew exactly what they were doing and guiding us along the way. Max is a legit photographer and knows his craft. The portfolio of photos and video on his site and here are pretty representative of what you'll get. My wife wanted a specific bright and cool look to the photos and he nailed the style perfectly. He even pulled us aside later during the day where there's a short 30 minute window or so to capture shots when the light hits you just right. A lot of the shots during that session ended up being some of the best shots in our collection. We opted for the package with his team, who were also great. We figured this helps free up Max to capture our big moments while his crew could capture alternate angles, details and B-roll footage. All of this contributes to elevating your highlight video, which turned out amazing. Overall, would definitely recommend and a big thumbs up for Max. Very happy with the experience and how the photos/videos came out!

I knew is was the one for us! Max showed up for our rehearsal on time and met our wedding party and family and it felt so great to have us all working together. Him and his assistant went over and beyond on the wedding day. Photos at every angle and different lighting, and he stayed way past the scheduled time just to make sure he got the best possible photos for my husband and I. We are very happy with our choice. The only thing I wish we had done differently, was give Max a list of specifically who to have one on one photos with. My husband and I are both a little passive, especially on a distracting day like our wedding day and did not speak up about getting more individual photos. Our fault for not giving him a list! Lots of group photos for sure, and the most beautiful photos of the two of us!

I sent an email one night and got a response from Mared so quickly that it almost felt too good to be true. While some brides want the all-inclusive venue with everything provided, I really didn't care about expensive fancy chairs, in-house catering, florals, etc. I just wanted a space that allowed me to DIY as much as I could. Mac House provided me with the perfect blank slate that actually ended up having some bells and whistles that helped elevate my basic set-up, like customizable lighting and a convenient roll-up door that served as the perfect spot for our taco caterer. The team was very friendly and accommodating throughout the entire process and made me feel so comfortable in their space. Following their Instagram page, I learned that, aside from the amazing video production work they do, they are also involved in a variety of humanitarian initiatives. I'm happy to have been introduced to such an interesting local business and will stay in touch, even if just to root them on in their endeavors.

The #1 perk about Mac House has to be the flexibility of the space. Not only is there a large open…read morelobby, but there's also an entire studio in the back waiting to be decorated. The studio was large enough for 100 or so guests, 13 tables, two bars (one alcohol and one water/coffee/tea, and food buffet - plus a dance floor for everyone to dance on. Best of all, unlike many venues, you're welcome to use any vendor (party rentals, catering, etc) that you want. This was a huge plus for us! With a little imagination, we were able to transform the entire space to fit the 'Dancing Under The Stars' theme we dreamt up for our wedding reception. Since they're a video production studio, it was super easy talking with them about how to light the entire space. At the end of that night, my wife and I, and all our guests had the most wonderful evening!

So here's the deal. A little confession. I tend to get more messages on Yelp that mention my…read moreprofile photo, than I do for my damn restaurant reviews. People think the profile photo of me was some sort of staged thing for a professional project I must be doing. Not true. I was just making some food in my kitchen. But it WAS taken by a professional. And that professional is Vladimir Perlovich. I never asked Vladimir to take my photo...but he's so great with his camera that he just saw something and asked me to stop what I was doing and look at his camera. I'm not a photogenic guy, but Vladimir somehow made me look about as good as possible with that photo. And if he can do that with me, I'm sure he could do something even better for you! All kidding aside, I've seen work he's done with both portrait photography and industrial photography and it's really stunning stuff. Beyond that, he's just a super professional, Harvard educated guy with both a stellar film and still photography resume. How many photographers are available for hire with his pedigree? Not many. If you have a chance to hire Vladimir for a project, book it quick. And hey, maybe you'll get a great Yelp profile photo out of it too!

If you're looking for a wedding photographer in the Bay Area, we cannot recommend Toan Photography…read moreenough! We absolutely loved working with Toan and his team. From the very beginning, they were incredibly knowledgeable, talented, professional, and genuinely easy to work with. Planning a DIY wedding comes with plenty of stress, but Toan was hands down our easiest and favorite vendor throughout the entire process. Neither of us is naturally comfortable in front of a camera, but Toan has an incredible eye and knows exactly how to direct and pose you. He gave us simple, clear guidance that made us feel relaxed and confident, and somehow made even the least photogenic person look like a natural model. The entire experience felt fun instead of awkward. His photography speaks for itself. The photos are absolutely stunning and capture every moment so beautifully. His work is so strong that the images barely need any editing--they're timeless, natural, and simply breathtaking. Every photo feels like a work of art, and we know we'll treasure them for the rest of our lives. We also really appreciated how honest, flexible, and accommodating Toan was throughout the process. He frequently offered packages and special deals, which we were incredibly grateful for. Booking, scheduling, billing, and communication were always seamless, and we never ran into a single issue. On our wedding day, Toan and his team made us feel completely at ease during one of the biggest and most emotional days of our lives. They were calm, organized, and knew exactly how to keep everything running smoothly while capturing every special moment. His craftsmanship is worth every penny. After working with him, we completely understand why he's so highly rated throughout the Bay Area. If you're considering Toan Photography, don't hesitate--you'll be investing in an amazing experience and memories you'll cherish forever. Thank you, Toan and your team, for exceeding every expectation!
