My husband and I reached out to Amari Productions pretty last minute because our wedding plans changed due to COVID-19. A videographer wasn't in our budget for the larger wedding we were originally planning for, but since we ended up marrying i...n front of immediate family only, we decided to invest in a videographer. We looked at several different production companies because we didn't think our top choice, Amari Productions, would be available since it was so last minute. We were ecstatic when we found out they were available for our wedding date!
We reached out via email and we received a response within 24 hours from Aaron. Aaron was wonderful and explained the different packages, answered any questions we had, and assured us that our assigned shooters would make it, even if it's not safe to fly - he said they'd make the drive from San Diego to San Francisco if it came down to it...WOW. Fortunately it didn't come down to that but knowing that they would do whatever it takes to be here gave us so much comfort during such a strange time. They were also willing to drive from our ceremony/reception site (my sister's backyard) to a beach near our house, definitely off the beaten path, about a 25 min drive, for sunset video footage! That was a huge plus for my husband and I since the hidden gem of a beach is really special to us.
I don't think we were expecting our two wonderful shooters to impact our wedding day so much.
There was a lot of family drama the morning of our wedding and I felt that Corey, the lead shooter who was with me while getting ready, sensed what was going on and I truly credit him for turning my day around and putting me in a better mood. He was hilarious, supportive, kind, professional, and just brought so much positive energy.
I went to get dressed after hair and makeup and I couldn't find my shoes anywhere. Corey immediately volunteered to go check my car outside. I ended up finding them underneath something and felt so bad that he went to do a thorough search of my car. When I apologized to him, he let me know that he was there to help me and he was so happy I found them.
Corey and Jaan Carlo worked seamlessly with our photographer whenever we were taking photos/video footage. The three of them were absolutely hilarious together and we had the BEST time!!
Corey and Jaan Carlo brought so much FUN, positive energy, happiness, support, laughter, and a high level of comfort to Eric and myself on the most special day of our lives. We can't thank them enough. My husband and I kept saying that it felt like we had an extra set of best friends with us that day.
Since the very beginning of reaching out to Amari Productions for a quote and to check availability for our wedding date, my husband and I both talk about the high level of customer service we have received. It almost feels weird to call it customer service? Everyone we have interacted with, Aaron, Britt, Corey, and Jaan Carlo, have all been so friendly (we mean truly, genuinely friendly) and we feel as if we're being treated like family. It's easy to tell that the team at Amari are kind people to their cores and we couldn't be happier to have the opportunity to work with them.
We are SO excited to get our film!!!
