Amari Productions

ing at all about taking photos, etc. They were like our friends on the day of the wedding!!! They make everything very low stress. I have received a couple of films from them already and cannot stress enough how amazing they are!! Their work is beautiful. I used them for both photography and videography and would 100% recommend anyone to use them. Even if they have to travel! Their videos and photos are stunning.

h and share this video for years to come. Let’s start at the beginning. When I first started looking for videographers to capture our special day, Amari stood out with their mission statement, multiple amazing reviews, and large collection of diverse videos. When I had the phone consultation, I was even more intrigued by the idea that we could play a part in the edits for our film. As our special day approached, I was so nervous that I would notice the cameras around us, but that was far from the truth. The team did such a great job on the day of to not only, help us relax when were too nervous and tense or when things didn’t go as planned (as they always will), but also to help us and our bridal party have fun, be ourselves, and enjoy our day without the pressure of having to “pose for the camera.” I cannot thank the Amari team for the huge support and love they showed us from the moment of that phone consolation to even after our wedding when we received our film. I will forever recommend (and hire!) Amari Productions, and you should too!

uch great hands. I can be an indecisive person, but making the choice to have them as my videographer was one of the easiest out of my whole wedding planning process! Not to mention, after I binge watched all of their videos and youtube posts, I was even more sold! They have already sent over my social media preview and I've watched it 30 times, while crying all over again every single time lol. If a 60 second video can impact me like that, I cannot WAIT to see the other videos to come! I can go on and on about how wonderful Amari Productions is, but all I can say is book them immediately, you will not regret it!!!

e sure all the moments you want to be reflected in the final product are captured. Prior to the wedding, they provided us a questionnaire with everything we wanted to make sure we got on film (i.e. any detail shots, any editing preferences, the song choice). After the wedding, they also asked us if there was anything else we wanted to include prior to them starting on the editing of our film. When we got our highlight film, we were floored at just how great all the footage and editing was. Everything came out so beautiful and it really stayed true to the essence of what that day meant for us and for our families. Amari Productions was also our photographer for the wedding and they did such an incredible job at not only capturing everything we wanted, but they captured really great candid ones too. In addition, they were also very polite and professional. We’re so glad we invested in such an amazing videographer/photographer to capture such a special day for us. Highly recommend! Thank you again Amari Productions!

psake and I couldn't be more happy with my choice of Amari!

to communicate with. The web forms were clear, direct, and easy to fill out. They really took our preferences and made it into a true work of art! Our wedding video was well edited, well thought out, and we particularly loved that Amari captured the day as it was with all its details and intimate moments. We actually loved our highlight video so much that we’re having them create a feature film for us too! Our cinematographers, David & Jaan Carlo, were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were kind, polite, professional, and fun to be around! Both were flexible to unexpected delays to our timeline and they worked really well alongside our other vendors (especially our photography team John DeFiora Photography) to make our big day a success! Working with Amari Productions was everything we expected and more!

Jamie Wolfer and Safiya Nygaard. Had no hesitation on hiring them for the job because videography was a huge priority for us. They were great to work with and excited to see our highlight video! Thank you!

lessly to make all of them come to life. Working with them was effortless and joyful. Wedding photos and footage are so personal and important, especially to share with those who can’t attend. Our wedding video captures our love and the meaning of the day so perfectly. If you’re looking for a photography or videography team — you’ve found the very best with Amari Productions.

ess how important and crucial they were in helping me postpone and reschedule! My husband and I waited a long time to get married and wanted our wedding to be a dream come true. With the help of the Amari team, our dream did come true! I had the pleasure to work with Britt leading up to the wedding and it was the best experience! She is so incredible and just a joy! Day of the wedding the whole production team was so outstanding, they were fun, knowledgable, and really made us all feel so comfortable! We were beyond grateful to get to work with such awesome people and I could not have asked for a better team to be apart of our big day! They were on top of everything and so fully invested in making our wedding perfect. Some of the true magic was when we received our wedding video! I work in Events and I have never seen a better production then theirs. I hope to convey the amount of beauty and expertise that went into this film being produced. The team outdid themselves!! In all seriousness, our day was made because the Amari team was able to capture and present our wedding exactly how we had always imagined it! Our wedding would not have been the same without them all and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity it work with such an outstanding team!

well at the wedding that it almost felt like they were part of the guests. They were an absolute joy to work with and I would recommend Amari for wedding or occasion. 10/10.

the video and I'm so glad we decided to go with Amari.

attentive, quick to respond, and genuinely eager to learn more about us as a couple to make our special day all that more special. Britt had us fill out a questionnaire that asked thoughtful questions about what really makes us “tick” and ultimately led to her amazing team capturing all of the moments that they knew would be special and meaningful to us. Monique and David, our shooters on our wedding day, could not have been more lovely! They were so fun to have around, it felt as though they were just two more friends in the mix celebrating with us. We are so grateful to have had Amari for our small ceremony, and cannot wait to work with them again at our larger ceremony/reception in November!

you talk to is so incredibly nice and our videographers were an absolute blast! Everyone at our wedding loved them. They make the process so easy and make sure you are getting everything you want out of the videography. They stay in communication with you constantly which is something not all wedding vendors do. We have received so many compliments about how amazing our videos are, which makes sense because they are amazing! Lol Between our family, friends and ourselves we have watched them a million times. We hope to have them do all major events for our families from here on out. We are in Kansas and were a little worried about them being based out of California but it was not an issue at all! We recommend them 1,000% You will not be be disappointed.

tain (and when we all thought, "Oh yeah, it'll go back to normal in the late summer, right?"). Needless to say, Amari was professional and flexible. And even in my moments of "frantic bride-ism," Aaron and Britt helped us figure things out. A little about the team that we worked with: Aaron was welcoming and spent a lot of time with me on the phone when I first called to inquire. As you all know, the wedding industry is intimidating, and Aaron made us feel comfortable and listened to. After we signed, Britt came on and was involved in all the emails and planning throughout the year. What can I say, she is so positive, cheerful, fun, and personable! Our shooters were Magdalena and David, both so friendly, sweet, and professional! Everyone we had contact with on the Amari team are the type of people you'd be friends with. Down to earth. Our original 120 guest wedding at our dream venue in La Jolla ended up being a 22 person intimate ceremony and dinner. one thing we knew for sure was that we didn't want to postpone the videography for a postponed party, but wanted to capture the day we got married. I was worried how the video would end up with such a small wedding, but Amari captured the fun and love of our day better than I could've hoped for. Their work is beautiful, not only with the shots taken, but with how they capture the connections and special moments of the day. I am so grateful, thank you Amari!

te with ease. I appreciate the phone conversation to introduce themselves. Closer to the wedding, I had to fill out a series of questions and surveys to help them understand my style and taste. I watched their past clients to see which films I preferred, and which films I didn't. This is the best because my highlight film was EXACTLY what I had imagined. Shout out to Britt who responds to every email with professionalism and kindness. On the day of the wedding they were professional and respectful due to all the regulations we had. They captured everything, ninja style! All videographers did a phenomenal job and they were a pleasure to be around. I have now been a part of two Amari Production films and I'm telling you, they do a fabulous job. My husband did not want to pay for a videographer and thank gosh we did! It was one of the best decisions of my wedding.

uests at the end of the night. Little did we know, they would make such an awesome day that much more amazing. Our guests were very impressed with quality of the work they were able to produce in such a short amount of time. They did the damn thing! The Amari team was so kind, caring, and detailed. As a same-sex couple, they made us feel so comfortable and celebrated. They would post our videos on their social media pages and remind us of how amazing that day was. Amari even surprised us with not only an excellent same-day edit but an amazing video of our first dance! They captured the dance perfectly and our guests’ surprise reactions. The team is phenomenal and we highly recommend them for any and all events! Their cinematography, lighting, and editing were superb! They make remembering magical moments possible and have given us a chance to share them for many years to come! Thank you, Amari! -The Adap-Garcias ❤️

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!!!

d in an instant, we decided this was the team we wanted for our photo & video. He was so personable & genuinely excited and happy talking about our wedding plans. We were also considering a same day edit before the call and after hearing more about it, we knew we couldn’t do without one. Best decision ever! It was such a special thing to watch with our guests during the wedding. Everyone keeps saying how amazing it is that Amari was able to put together such a beautiful, flawless, video in such a short amount of time. Their team is so talented! And I can’t tell you how many times Ashley (my wife!) And I have watched it since. And the photos! We were absolutely blown away with how gorgeous these pictures are. We weren’t sure about booking photography at first, since Amari didn’t really have any examples on their website, but we are SO glad we did. Megan & Chadwick are incredibly talented and such wonderful people. Also, just having a photo & video team that already works together, instead of separate vendors, makes things so seamless. Britt was such a pleasure to work with in the days leading up to our wedding. She was also so patient with all of our questions, and so quick with replying. When we met our team on the day-of our wedding, we felt so comfortable with them right away! Our wedding party even said they felt like the crew was a part of our friends and family. The photographers & videographers made Ashley and I feel so at ease; we’re definitely not attention-grabbers so we were nervous at first, but we felt comfortable enough to just let that melt away and be in the moment together. Thank you Megan, Chadwick, Taylor, Alex, Kyle, Britt, Dave & the rest of the Amari team! I also want to add that seeking out gay-friendly wedding vendors was important to us, and they made us feel so celebrated. They’re incredible people & welcome all love! To Amari: Thank you for giving us the photos & video that will help make our wedding day last forever. To the review readers: If you’re looking for a wedding photographer & videographer, you can stop right here. Here’s a link to our wedding same-day-edit to check out what the day looked like! https://amariproductions.com/ashley-kelsey/

ngly recommend that you do. We were not planning to do so and ended up choosing to add this service shortly before the wedding, and it is one of the best decisions we have ever made! The whole weekend flew by, and we have already watched the beautiful highlight video the Amari team made for us again and again in the weeks since we have received it. It’s a stunning time capsule of our special day, and it’s so amazing to hear and see the event come to life before our eyes in addition to having our beautiful photos. It has been a particularly wonderful gift to share with family and friends who were unable to make the wedding in person, and it’s something we will treasure for the rest of our lives! Now, here’s why we LOVED working with Amari Productions. First, the team was an absolute pleasure to work with. They integrated seamlessly into the flow of the wedding day, capturing so much important content while being gracious, kind, and not at all pesky. Second, they worked closely with us to help us understand what we wanted to highlight most in our wedding video, and the final product reflected those wishes perfectly! From the music they chose to the moments they captured throughout the day, it truly felt like they perfectly understood what we were hoping for and delivered it to us for a very reasonable price. Finally, while we absolutely adore the highlight video that we received 6-8 weeks after the wedding, we had a “sneak peek” 58-second video within days of the wedding that was formatted perfectly to share with friends and family on social media. It was such a treat to have that delivered to us while we were on our honeymoon, and it was a wonderful preview of what to come! If you are looking for a fantastic team to help you produce the wedding video of your dreams at a very reasonable price, we can’t recommend working with Amari Productions highly enough! PS: We can't post a photo of their work, but you can check out our video if you would like by searching "Brieze and Peter" on the Amari Productions website!

choice! We had the pleasure of working with Magdalena. She was very open to our ideas, style, and vision for a wedding film. With every step of the process, Magdalena and her team were very friendly, professional, and open with their communication. Not once during the actual wedding day did we notice their presence, yet they captured so many incredible shots and edited a film we couldn’t be happier with! If you’re looking for a great company to work with for your wedding day film, your search can stop here. Thank you Amari - you’re the best! P.S. If you haven't watched their promo video on their homepage, go do yourself a favor and check it out! It still gives me goosebumps and makes me teary eyed all with a huge smile to this day! This is the magic they make happen people!

r special celebrations. Their unique filmmaking style is beautiful, professional, and unique. Not to mention, their attention to detail is stellar. Their friendly team really makes you feel completely comfortable throughout the process, and they are happy to work with you on whatever requests or ideas you have in mind, which is something that I really appreciated. Very easy to communicate with, and you felt like this was a fun, collaborative effort, not just another job for them. Their team is genuine, and while going through the stress of planning, it's so refreshing having that kind of a creative relationship. I especially like their many options for packages and edits, which also includes an Instagram edit (very cool), as well as teasers, full length feature film, and rough footage. My family and I wanted all the footage we could get, so having these options definitely made us feel at ease that our special events would be completely covered. A big THANK YOU to Amari Productions for not only capturing our special events, but for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. It was a pleasure working with your entire team.

two songs we loved and they did a great job creating such a memorable and loving video with the speeches and our vows. The staff day of was also totally on top of everything. I couldn't have asked for a better videographer team! Thank you SO much!

edding. We sent him sample videos that we liked and he was very receptive to feedback of what we liked and wanted for our video. We can’t wait to see how our wedding video will come out!

They know how to compile your special day into a picture perfect, moving video! They were extremely punctual, professional and nice. They were accommodating and so friendly! I am so grateful I found them and could not be more pleased with my choice in videographer.

e felt really comfortable and confident that his team would understand our personalities to creatively tell our story through a 5 minute highlight video. Carling was our lead videographer, and she was really clear in her communication, including the understanding exactly what we wanted. My husband and I are happy to say that the video arrived just a few days ago and we are absolutely obsessed with how it turned out. Carling and her teammate filmed about 8 hours on our wedding day and it is truly magical to watch the story they created with all of that footage. It feels good to watch the video over and over again and highly recommend Dave and his team at Amari Productions to tell your story. Thanks for everything Dave and Carling!
