Amari Productions

how they treat you after it is "done" also says a lot about a company. They were very professional, punctual, and caught moments I didn't even know happened! I would recommend Amari to my best friends and family because they built trust and delivered a quality product that will last a lifetime. We are NOT an easy couple to please either. We were between two really high rated and respected videographers and we decided on Amari because of the "feel" of their videos being more light and fun than the other. We had a multi-day Indian wedding and we really liked how all the footage turned out. Make sure you get the toast edit! We didn't initially but luckily we could add it on after the fact. It is amazing to go back and relive a day that went by in such a blur. Amari Productions is amazing and I highly recommend them!

, and were professional through and through. The final video was everything we hoped it would be and more. Would definitely recommend hiring Amari Productions!

advance and then really paid attention to what features we cared about in our video. We're so happy with the results! We could not recommend Amari more highly. Thank you for everything!

d, we wanted it fun, light and to capture who we are as a couple) Matt, our day of, was polite, unobtrusive and so nice. He was literally on the ground in the dirt videoing us as we took pictures under some twinkle lights. We are on pins and needles waiting for our final videos, edits and raw footage (they are running behind schedule, so if you hire them, don't expect the final product to be ready within the contract terms). I would absolutely hire them again!

ved, the whole day felt like it elapsed on 2X speed, and I was so relieved to know afterward that we'd have video footage to watch back and remember it all by. When we agreed to book a videographer, my fiancé and I had two goals: first, that we wouldn't even know they were there, and second, that everything captured would be real, natural and unscripted. Amari very clearly was aligned with us on that from the outset, and I felt confident in hiring them. I loved that they sent around a detailed questionnaire in advance, to make sure they capture everything that is important to you and to find out about any significant moments or surprises planned throughout the day. I also loved that they followed up right after the wedding to ask the same things, in case your answers had changed. They were super easy to work with from beginning to end. I added on a feature to our package after the wedding, and that was a cinch. I gave some feedback about one of the videos, and they were very receptive to changing it. And during the wedding day itself, both Shaunie and Lauren were great to work with. It was so fun to receive the highlight film and ceremony edit, but also just to look back through the raw footage and see the little moments we missed throughout the day. I highly recommend hiring Amari! They are top notch.

t was INSANE! We have no idea how they so beautifully and perfectly tied the whole day up into a 6 minute video. It brings us back immediately to that day. Booking Amari was one of the best decisions we could have made! We are forever grateful!

sier. My husband and I aren't the best in front of the camera/ center of attention type people and they made it effortless and natural. My dad is a photographer and personally picked Amari over others, because instead of "artsy" "trendy" pictures like a lot of LA wedding photographers, they're all about capturing real, sweet moments, and the energy of the room, which is exactly what we wanted. Megan was an absolute dream -- she's so incredibly talented, but also just as a person she made our wedding day even more fun. Also, the price point should not be ignored -- they were definitely on the budget side, but quality-wise I think they exceeded all the more expensive options. Also also, the video team sent us the raw footage, so we can look at all of the wedding footage, the ceremony, etc. Thanks so much to Megan and the whole Amari team, we're in love with our photos and video.

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.
