Sung and his crew are the best videographers in Los Angeles (if not in the whole world. *wink*) I had a privilege to work with Sung and two of his staff when we had our pre-wedding shot in Descanso Gardens during the cold, chilly December and on our actual wedding day on January 14, 2017. And all I can say is, they will work for you, worry less on how it will turn out because they have the best God-given talent and knowledge to make your video the best that you could ever imagine.
Around 2016, my husband and I were brainstorming on who to hire as our videographers. Trust me, I am such a hard critic on wedding videos because I wanted to have the best memory of our wedding. I've watched many videographers' products and none of them reached my standards, modesty aside. I came across with April Story Films right on the nth page of "the knots" and as soon as I pressed play, I couldn't stop myself commending their work and cried on each videos I watched.
I steadfastly emailed him and called him many times. Knowing his busy schedule, I waited and sure enough, he replied back to my query and set the meeting right away. I encouraged my husband to lock this deal in as quick as we can because I got the best feeling that he is such a great deal to have! lol! I am sorry, but I really feel like it is a no-brainer not to have him for your wedding. It is evident on his wonderful finished products that he put his heart out and brainstormed many smart effects on each videos that I watched.
Sung, thank you so much for giving us the best memory of our wedding. You are such a great, genuine, and honest person. You are not just a businessman but you are a very kind hearted person who won our trust in so many levels. Thank you so much again. It was such a great honor. Our heartfelt gratitude to you and to your wonderful staff again.
To your future clients and to the ones reading this long review looking for a great videographer, don't you every think twice. Email them as quickly as you can. April Story Films is the best in SoCal and surely won't regret every single penny you will spend.
TLDR; April Story Films is a creative, professional and fun videography team at the fraction of the cost of similar vendors in the wedding industry. They were so easy to work with and go above & beyond to produce beautiful work. If we had to do our wedding all over, we would 100% hire them as our videographers again! Thank you, Sung & Adele, for capturing & creating something so special that my husband and I will cherish forever!
We hired April Story Films for our wedding weekend in July 2024 and we are SO happy we did! My husband and I stumbled across their work on The Knot & Instagram and we were immediately in awe at their creativity and style. We had a phone call with Sung to ask some questions/logistics and shortly after booked them for our wedding. Sung and Adele drove outside of LA for 2 of our wedding days at no extra cost, and they were so professional, attentive and kind. They were actually early each day and started capturing context, which made me feel so at ease. It was a such a breeze to work with them from before/during/after our wedding! They even made lasting impressions on our families and friends. We got our wedding trailer (~10 mins long) about 2 months after the wedding & Sung was so accommodating with our song choices (he and my husband sneaked in a very special song for me as a surprise!). I watched our trailer everyday for about 2 months and cried almost every time. It was so beautiful! Our families even still show it to their friends!!
Five months after we got the trailer, we received our full wedding film (75 min long!!) which Sung so graciously upgraded for us at no extra cost, as we originally chose a package at a lower tier. My husband and I watched it the day Sung sent it to us and it was like reliving our wedding weekend all over again. We are so lucky to have found a videography team to create something so meaningful and capture our wedding how we envisioned it. And everything at a very reasonable price- which was obviously a great touch given how expensive weddings can be especially after COVID. As I’m writing this review, my dad called me and raved about how beautiful and high quality the full video is! You will not regret choosing April Story Films as your videographer for your wedding or any special event!
We had an excellent experience with Sung and his team. Not only was Sung extremely responsive over email in the months leading up to the wedding, and the week of the wedding via email and text, but we also found that the package we purchased was reasonably priced and tailored to our specific vision and needs. On our wedding day, Sung and the second videographer (I believer her name was Adele) were extremely personable, easy to work with, and made us feel comfortable. Adele also helped me multiple times, fixing my makeup, hair and dress to make sure I looked perfect! We had so much fun working with them and they felt like friends at the end of the day! After our wedding, when we realized we wanted to amend our package to include purchasing raw footage of our ceremony, Sung was very accommodating! When we received the final product - a 7 minute video of our wedding day set to music - we were stunned and thrilled. The video was beautiful and captured our day perfectly! Sung's artistry was fantastic, approachable, warm, and lovely. Sung actually included all the raw footage, not just the ceremony, free of charge. We thought this was extremely generous, a show of good faith, and a kindness that we will always remember. Furthermore, this footage will be something we cherish for the rest of our lives. We are so grateful to Sung + the April Story Films team. Thank you!
My wife and I couldn't be more happy with the service that Sung and Adele provided for our wedding videography! They were very friendly and made us all feel comfortable while they did their magic. And the results were very worth it! We love the video trailer and photos and our friends and family were blown away! We appreciate our wedding day being immortalized in such a beautiful by such a talented team! Highly recommend!
I came to know Sung and Adele from a friend who got married and used April Story Films as their videographers. My friend's wedding trailer was incredible and I knew right away that I had to have them as my wedding videographers when I got married in the future.
As COVID hit, a lot of weddings got postponed including mine, and Sung and Adele were very understanding and patient as they had to adjust through the unprecedented time. In fact, I ended up planning my wedding and notifying them in about a month, and they were very accommodating. Despite being busy at the time, they still tried to make my wedding fit into their schedule. They always answered their emails promptly, and they patiently answered every concern I had. Since my wedding was shorter and much smaller than the usual weddings, I was worried that there would not be much content for Sung and Adele to work with. Nevertheless, they still reassured me that everything would be alright.
The wedding day came, and Sung and Adele came early to the venue and brought all their equipments. They were encouraging, and were trying their best to make me and my husband feel at ease during the event. They knew we were stressed out for this event but their positivity made us feel more relaxed as the day went on. Adele even helped fix my hair and dress, and acted like my bridesmaid since I did not have one at the time. Additionally, they worked extremely well with our photographer, and went with the flow. As the day came to an end, Sung and Adele felt like family because of their easygoing attitude.
As the days went by, my husband and I received an email from them in regards to the wedding trailer. It was so beautiful, and my husband even said that he did not know they were filming him at some point because they were like ninjas. Our friends and families were very thrilled with the video, and they complimented how lovely the video was. To anyone getting married, April Story Films is worth every penny, and you are in such great hands when you are with them.
Sung and Adele from April Story Films came highly recommended for our wedding, and they far exceeded our expectations! They are incredibly hardworking, accommodating, and professional. Their communication was gentle and thorough, and they had a keen eye for capturing stunning shots. When we saw our trailer, my husband and I were amazed; it felt like we were the stars of our own K-drama. The trailer perfectly captured the essence of the day and all its emotions. Words can't fully describe how thoughtful and well-crafted their work was. Since receiving the trailer, we have been watching it every night.
If you are looking for videographers who will go the extra mile to ensure that all the special moments of your day are captured, consider working with April Story Films. It was a fantastic experience, and we highly highly recommend them! To top it off, April Story Films does an excellent job with communication turnaround time and updates. You will be in good hands with them.
Sung and his team did an amazing job! They executed our vision with perfection. We are extremely pleased with how our wedding was captured! My wife and I were looking for someone who could capture the moment in a way that felt natural and unscripted they did just that. They captured the moment perfectly and put it together in such a cinematic way. The wedding trailer brought smiles and tears of joys to my wife and I as well as our family and friends.
SUNG is absolutely phenomenal and a true artist of his craft. You can view our cinematic trailer and many others to see the intricate details and love he puts into every project. Perfect story telling, pacing, and ties extremely well with your music of choice. His work clearly stands out among all other wedding videographers. He was very kind, respectful, and listens. AND has decades of expertise in film to guide you during your event. He brought his partner as a secondary videographer and she was also very friendly to work with. The turnaround is also very very quick compared to others. This team is truly hard working and goes the extra mile, you won’t be disappointed.
Sung and Adel were excellent videographers who knew what they were doing, were good at what they were doing, and made the who experience easy, which is definitely a plus considering all the things going on in a wedding. Sung was easy to communicate with, and he was flexible with accommodating our specific needs for the rental. They also were able to improvise when it rained on the day of our wedding--bonus points there. They were super fun as well, and we had a good time just spending the day together, even though they were serving us in recording video. Highly recommend, 10/10!
We were SO happy with April Story Films and Sung and Adel. In a pool of all the different vendors you have to hire for a wedding, you usually find something you might have done differently but with them, there was nothing!!! They were so amazing from pre wedding to post wedding. Responsive, reasonable, and executed our vision perfectly with his creative talent!!! We just showed the video at Christmas and my entire family was blown away. Thank you so much Sung and team!!!
Grateful to have found April Story Films! Sung and Adel did such an amazing job in every aspect we could’ve asked for. They were extremely professional, and did a phenomenal job at giving us what we wanted AND more! Thankful for all the memories they helped capture; Would highly recommend this company!
April Story Films caught our attention because of the dramatic flair in their style. It’s a mix of editorialized, artistic, and cinematic. Their videography draws you in with its unique combination of styles and keeps you mesmerized from beginning to end. Sung's team really knows how to weave together a story in a short clip and showcase what matters to you the most. Our final video is every bit as sentimental and fun to watch as the day was to experience! Attila was a great help in coordinating the day!
We loved working with Sung and his team for our wedding video! The final result was beautiful, for both the trailer (which we received shortly after our wedding) and the full-length video that we will watch for years to come. Not only is Sung prompt, communicative, professional, and friendly, but he helped make the entire process on the wedding day stress free and fun! We are so thankful to have found him and his team and thank him for his incredible work!
Sung and his team absolutely killed it with our wedding video! They were so easy to work with , and made the whole process so smooth and most importantly, FUN!! I am so happy to have found them! 10/10!
They captured so much in my 7 minute trailer already. My daughter used them last year for her wedding and after seeing their video I knew I had to hire them for mine!!! Their customer service is amazing. They really just blending in during the wedding but captured so many special moments.
I promise you won't be disappointed!!!!! Thank you April films!
Sung and his team were truly incredible to work with! Sung is extremely responsive when you email him and is such an amazing addition to any vendor team. We weren't sure if we were going to have a videographer at our wedding but are SO happy that we did and chose Sung. Sung and his team were such a joy to be around on the day and were such a calm presence. They give such great direction and are always adjusting to ensure they get the best shot. We are blown away with our video and can't thank he and his team enough for capturing our special day so well! Thank you again!
This completely blew us away!! We are literally stunned with how beautiful, artistic, and all around storytelling was done in this cinematic trailer. We had chills during the intro, anticipation during the mass, tears during the speeches and dances, and overwhelming joy and excitement through it all. Emelee and I have already list count of how many times we've watched it. Sung, Adele, Harrison and your team have made something that will be treasured by us and by many for the rest of our lives, and hopefully after that as well. We can't wait to share this with our friends and family!
We cannot say enough good things about Sung and April Story Films! We initially reached out to them because they did the videography for a friend's wedding in LA. We loved their work and asked them if they would be interested in coming to Rhode Island. Sung immediately said yes and was more than fair in price. Communication was excellent leading up to the wedding weekend. When it came time for the weekend, he and Adel made us feel extremely comfortable, were very professional, and had some amazing shots. We just got our Cinematic trailer, and all I can say is, wow. It was incredible. He blends various scenes into a story, and brings the day back to life. We can't wait for the full length video. Would recommend April Story Films to anyone looking for a videographer that brings true emotion and passion into their work.
April Story Films was AMAZING! Sung and his team greatly exceeded our expectations. Our wedding videos are absolutely breathtaking and they did such a phenomenal job at capturing all the moments that were special to us. I was surprised at how fast I received all my wedding videos. They were very professional, had great communication, and very easy to work with. Their packages are also very reasonably priced. For anyone that is searching for a videographer to work with, seamlessly capture your day, and provide you with memories that will last a lifetime I highly recommend April Story Films. We can't thank Sung and his team enough for capturing my wedding day!
My man Sung! Words cannot explain my gratitude to you and your team. Sincerely from the bottom of my heart, kelly and I truly appreciate the effort you took to make our dream video into reality. I am so glad you were a part of the wedding and you literally captured everything! I didnt know how stressful the wedding day was going to be but you and your partner were so experienced and professional that the shoot went smoothly and fun. After seeing the video, it shocks me how quick you made it! The editing skills your team has is top notch. I’ve shared the preview with all my friends and family and they all loved it. Thank you!!! Looking forward to the rest of the video!
April Story Films is the best decision I could ever make! Sung's vision is astonishing. The way he makes us feel very comfortable in front of the camera is just a testament of how professional he is. Moreover, his edits would just blow you away. He gets to know who the couple is and ultimately creates the video of your dreams. We could not have asked for more. These videos would live on waaay after the celebration, and I am glad that my future kids would enjoy and feel the moment as if they were there because of Sung's cinematic excellence!
We are so happy to have had April Story Films as our wedding videographer! Sung and his team are truly wonderful to work with. On our wedding day, they were able to capture so many beautiful cinematic moments in a short time. On top of that, they worked so well with our photographer which made our entire photographing/filming experience seem effortless. We received our cinematic trailer less than 3 weeks after the wedding and are OBSESSED with it. Everything from the music selection, cinematic moments to the story telling were perfect! I must've watched the trailer at least 100 times and cannot wait to see the full film. Thank you Sung and team for capturing our day so beautifully.
Sung was fantastic! He did a great job capturing the emotion and feel of our wedding, and we felt so lucky to have him and his team there with us.
When I was browsing on the Knot for videographer for my wedding, I watched at least 20+ videos from different videographers. And Sung’s video was the only one that got me teared up. Unlike a lot of generic wedding videos, Sung really puts in his heart and soul to capture the uniqueness in every love story. And that’s why I signed the contract without even talking to him!! And of course, It was THE BEST decision I made for my wedding. His video blew my mind, it was intimate, unique, emotional, and just really captured all the great moments of my big day. His team was such a delight to work with as they come with so much passion for what they do. I will recommend April Story Films to all my friends the moment they start planning their weddings!!
Having been in the entertainment business for many years prior to settling down, I have an eye for videographers and can immediately tell if they are good at what they do or not. I went through the list of many videographers and as soon as I found April Story Films I immediately knew they were THE one. I'm so happy we went with Sung and his team. They are professional, they listen to your needs and they came up with the most amazing video! It wasn't a cheesy cringeworthy cookie cut video, it was very personalized. I have to admit I already had high hopes but when I saw the cinematic trailer, it really moved my husband and me to tears! The actual wedding day is always so stressful but April Story Films really got all the best shots and captured our special day so perfectly! If I could give them 100 stars I would! I highly recommend April Story Films!!!
April Story Films is an amazing team. We initially worked with them on a pre-wedding, engagement video. The video came out amazing. With our expectations very high already, they went above and beyond our expectations for our wedding trailer. It was very easy to work with Song and his team, they are very friendly and also flexible as long as all communications are clear and given enough notice. They created a video that we will forever cherish and always watch over and over again. The day of the wedding, it was effortless working with them. Nothing took too long, there wasn't any demanding and tight schedules. They let us enjoy our wedding and still got all the shots they needed. We highly recommend April Story Films. Thank you guys so much!
Sung Yoo and his team were true professionals from start to finish. A lot of other friends I know who have gotten married have had some nightmares regarding their videography, which made me extra cautious when selecting the videographer for my own wedding. I cannot be happier that we went with April Story Films. They delivered such beautiful work and stuck to the timeline (we had our cinematic trailer within the first month after our wedding and our full 1 plus hour edited video less than 6 months after). Furthermore, they have some of the most affordable packages. I can't say enough good things about Sung Yoo and April Story Films; they made my husband and I look like movie stars on our wedding day! They could not have captured our love more perfectly, and my husband and I now have something we can cherish forever to remember our special day. Again, I cannot recommend April Story Films enough!
Hands DOWN!!! The best videographers in the LA area.
Words can't express how grateful I am to have met Sung and his partner.
The videography equipment is top notch, but what impressed me the most was the type of honesty, integrity, and great human being these guys were. Without a doubt I will do and recommend Sung and his team in a heart beat. Everyone in the wedding was so impressed with the quality of service they provide.
You don't have to tell them what to do at all. They go above and beyond with the work that they do.
Thank you Sung and his teammate. You guys made my parents wedding an incredible experience.
You guys are the best
SUNG and OMAR are absolutely amazing! Sung was very responsive, thorough, and communicative from the get-go. He was more than generous and accommodating with our videography packages. The day of the wedding they made sure to capture every special moment and then some. They were able to work with our very blended family and children too. My husband was especially thankful for Omar for keeping him calm and making sure he ate food and drank water on the big day. After receiving our final videos, we watched them as tears filled our eyes once more. Sung offers edits, but we saw absolutely no need for them....everything was perfection! I decided to hire a videographer at the last minute since I was torn on the idea and April Story Films made me so glad that I did. We have every moment of our day captured and look forward to watching it for the rest of our lives together.
I was fortunate to hire Sung and his team for my wedding after my original videographer canceled. In just less than a month I received my cinematic trailer. Oh boy, it did not disappoint. I received so many compliments from friends and family. The trailer is like out of a romantic blockbuster movie. He knows how to capture and put together all the important moments throughout the day into a 5-minute clip. Now the anticipation awaits for the full-length video. If you are looking for a friendly, professional, and skilled videographer that is a real FILMMAKER, you will NOT regret hiring April Story Films.
Hiring Sung and his team was one of the best decisions we made for our entire wedding. Videography was really important to my now husband and I because we wanted more than just a film of our special moments - we wanted to have something that could tell our love story and capture the emotions of our big day. What Sung delivered was above and beyond anything we could have imagined.
We just got our highlights trailer and I've probably watched it about 100x times now. Our video wasn't just a bunch of HD clips stitched together in chronological order. Every little detail from the voiceovers of our vows, to the clips that were chosen, to the changes in the music was intentional and had a purpose in telling our love story. It was absolutely perfect.
Sung and team, thank you for giving us the gift of being back to relive our most special day!!
I just read a review right before mine and it was almost the same experience. I spent so so so many days watching different videos of multiple videographers. I came across their videos and I just knew I had to hire them. I wanted something different. I didn't want your average run of the mill video. And wow seriously incredible. The cinematography of it all is just insane. Sung is such a sweet person and I am so grateful he was our videographer. He created some truly unique and beautiful shots. I'm in love with our wedding video. It is so special to us. You have to hire Sung. April Story Films is a California treasure.
I cannot recommend April Story Films enough.
Having a videographer was very important to us and I spent hours scouring the internet trying to find someone who matched what we were looking for.
Everything from the moments that were shown in our video, the special effects, the music, was absolutely perfect and more than we could have ever hoped for.
They went above and beyond on our special day to make sure that our video was perfect--and it is!
If you are like me and going back and forth on who to go with, look no further. They are AMAZING and worth every penny!
Let me first say that adding a videographer to our day was a last minute decision and we are so glad that we did--we cannot stop watching our highlight film!!! Our day of videographer, Sung, was kind, considerate and respected our wishes to be discreet. For us, keeping the intimacy of our wedding was a top priority and we did not want the videographer to make our wedding feel like a production. Jonathan was able to capture every beautiful moment from our first look, ceremony and reception without feeling like a presence. Nathan, who edited our video, was extremely responsive and tailored our highlight film to capture all of the best moments from our amazing day. I am so grateful that we chose April Story Films to document our wedding and to provide us with this video that we are able to share with friends and family as well as have for ourselves for generations to come!
You won’t go wrong with this Los Angeles wedding videographer! When you plan a wedding, you get an idea of where you want to prioritize costs. We knew early on that photo and video were on the top of our list. After researching recommendations from friends and all in the Best of the Knot 2019 magazine, we narrowed it down to two from the Knot. My wife had some prior experience with wedding photography and video and advocated for April story films while I was on the fence. In the end, I cannot think of going with anyone else. ASF is simply the best! From the moment we got on the phone with Sung, he showcased his organizational skill and alignment of vendor/client goals. His work (the cinematic trailer) was beyond our wildest dreams! We received so many compliments on our videographer! He made us feel so happy naturally with his unique engaging personality. On our wedding day, Sung and Nathan accommodated us with last minute requests and provided exceptional videography services. They made us laugh a lot, in a good way! We are so pleased with the work we have seen so far from them. I highly recommend April story films and cannot say enough great things!
April Story Films was really fun and easy to work with. Sung captured our wedding beautifully. They made me feel really comfortable. They’re also very quick to respond. I love how our video came out. We’ve watched it numerous times. Our friends and family enjoyed and loved it too. Just make sure you communicate with them on what you want to see in your video.
We were extremely lucky to hire April Story Films as our videographer for our wedding! The best part of it was we didn't even have to look for them. My brother and his wife found them first for their wedding and after seeing how beautiful their videos were, we didn't think twice before hiring them for our own.
From the first email to the last, Sung and his team were on top of it in terms of coordination and professionalism. He was willing to work with us for our cost estimate and was friendly and enthusiastic throughout the whole planning process. On the day of, his team was very timely and captured the essential parts of our wedding, despite the challenging timeline we had whipped up.
If you're getting married soon and are so missing a videographer, I cannot emphasize enough how much we loved working with this team. Their artistry with putting together the right music with the right video clips, combined with their enthusiasm for wanting to get the best for you and your future spouse is really all any couple can ask for!
Where do I even begin?? Sung and his team made my wedding day such a memorable experience. If I had to chose a top vendor for my wedding, it would 100% be April Story Films. From the moment they showed up, our family, wedding party and other vendors were extremely comfortable. We received our cinematic trailer within 2 weeks after our wedding, which is amazing. I am beyond grateful for Sung and his team that I will have my wedding day film for years to come and always be able to look back on what a beautiful day it was.
April Story Films was the best decision we made for our wedding. We recently received our wedding trailer and are completely blown away. I've watched it over and over, at least once a day, and it still brings tears to my eyes. I listen to the music to our video all the time too and it all just brings the memories back.
The wedding seemed to go by so fast and was over before I knew it! To be able to see it again, and from different points of view and captured so beautifully, I can't stress enough how this is one of the best investments you will ever make. These memories will be with us forever.
Sung and Omar were awesome. Sung was great with communications and easy to work with, and throughout the entire day he checked in with the me and the bridal party. I am the most awkward person ever and didn't have confidence being in front of the camera, but Sung was so encouraging, so kind, and made me feel more confident and beautiful. They also got really great footage of my husband and his groomsmen, and great expressions and moments with family and friends.
His genuine care, friendliness, and passion for his work is clear and I would recommend him and his team to anyone. My family and friends also rave about how they loved our wedding trailer, and some even cried! My sister wishes she could have her own wedding all over again so that he could make a video for her too, because she loved our video so much!
All in all, I wouldn't think twice about hiring April Story Films. You won't regret it. We love them!! Thank you so much Sung, we are so thankful for your work!
April story films was fantastic! Their team was professional, well dressed, early and very accommodating. Their cinematic trailer was amazing, natural and real cinematic, it was exactly what we wanted! Sung was easy to work with, he got back to us right away and went above in beyond with editing. I cannot express how thankful we were to have them for our wedding day, to capture every special moment. We have recommend ASF to our family and friends for their weddings as well!
WOW! I can not say enough about this production. We just got our trailer from April story films and we have already watched it 50+ times. The way that this company creates their videos turned our wedding day into a true fairytale. Through this cinematic trailer we were able to relive our wedding day all over again with tears in our eyes. From the moment we booked this company, they were quick to respond to any questions we had. The experience of just going into their studio to meet with them was AMAZING! With reasonable prices, talented videographers and kind workers do not look any further! BOOK ASF NOW!
April Story Films Videography is amazing!!!! They have some of the best prices out there, not to mention the best video!!! They captured our day perfectly, practically every single second of it. ASF Videography also has some of the best customer service there is, with quick and friendly responses. Plus our movie (Cinematic trailer) was ready less than 3 weeks after our wedding! Sung and Heidi shot our wedding and did a wonderful job! Sung was very helpful during the planning stages, and afterwards. Thank you! We are so happy with our choice for videography and definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great wedding video. You can't go wrong with April story films!
We highly recommend working with April story films! Sung was absolutely amazing to work with throughout the entire process and fit seamlessly into our vendor team on our wedding day! The video he made was beautiful and has driven many friends and relatives to tears :) We have really enjoyed watching all the other footage he captured as well, since we got the raw footage add-on. It was well worth it and has us laughing hysterically, with all the funny dancing moments he captured of the night! Sung was easy to talk to as we planned our wedding, he was flexible while we figured out what we wanted our day to be like, and he pulled together an amazing about 6 minutes video of all of our highlights. His video truly added so much more than photos can and it was so amazing to show this to my grandparents who were not able to attend the wedding. In short, working with Aprilstoryfilms was an incredible experience and we strongly recommend Sung!! We can't say enough about how beautiful our video turned out to be!
I HIGHLY recommend April Story Films and would absolutely hire them again in a heartbeat! Sung is absolutely amazing! He was such a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process and truly made us feel so comfortable. Sung is extremely professional and was such a calming presence on our busy wedding day. He went above and beyond and we are so happy with how our videos turned out! The drone footage he captured is awesome and he got so many beautiful and touching moments on film. Just pick ASF!
It wasn't until a couple months before our wedding that my husband and I added a video to our list of must haves. We didn't have to look far as I had seen some of Sung's work and I knew how talented his team was. We contacted him and he graciously agreed to take on the task, this would end up being one of the best decisions we ever made. Our wedding video has become one of our favourite parts of our wedding. We have watched it dozens of times and it takes us right back to that moment (I cry every time). There is an element of emotion that can only be felt through a video and April story films captured this beautifully. The end product (Full length film) is amazing. Sung's professionalism, kind personality and adaptability were a pleasure to deal with. We are so lucky that April story films was a part of our special day and we would recommend them to anyone. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Sung was one of my favorite vendors. I didn't chat with him over the phone or facetime before but he was so nice in person. I instantly felt very comfortable around him and he worked well with my photographers. I'm not the type of person who is super comfortable in front of the camera but he was super easy going and sweet! He directs you and tells you exactly what to do which I found helpful on such a stressful day. We didn't have that much time after hair and makeup but he was super efficient and still got amazing shots. Sung and his team were professional and their pricing is very reasonable. I probably went through 15-20 different websites of other videographers and Sung's style was my favorite irregardless of pricing. So one of a kind, truly cinematic, and he really does such a great job with timing your video to music in a way that's super impactful! Many of his previous works seriously brought me to tears. He asks you if you want speeches in the trailer or not and we decided to go with speeches which I'm happy about. He stayed the entire time and got my trailer to me in about 2-3 weeks after I gave him my song choices. I cannot recommend him and his team enough if you want a unique and beautiful video that captures your day perfectly! If I could do it all over, I would hire Sung again in a heartbeat.

Right away, from our first meeting with Sung, we felt comfortable with him. He was very honest and straightforward. He has a very artistic eye and he knew immediately what my now wife and I wanted with a videographer. We were very happy with the cinematic trailer; we felt like we were re-living our joyous wedding occasion and also received many compliments from people whom we shared the video with. He is very professional, catering to his clients, and most of all dedicated to his craft. There is nothing more we could ask for in a videographer. We are very blessed to have met Sung and highly recommend April Story Films to all. Thank you Sung!
Sung and his associate did an excellent job as our videographer for our wedding. They were professional, unobtrusive, and captured excellent footage. They even shot drone footage of our venue. Sung produced both a "trailer" (a few minutes long with highlights from our wedding) and a "full length" version, which is about an hour and a half long. Each turned out very good. We have already referred Sung to friends who were very pleased as well.
One of the best decisions we made was to have Sung capture our special moments. He did a phenomenal job and we cannot express enough how happy we are with both the cinematic trailer and full length film. Sung is professional and so easy to work with, he worked very well with our photographers. He makes you feel very comfortable and natural during the entire day. Sung is truly an artist and a pleasure to work with!! We have recommended him to all of our friends and family!!
I don’t normally give 5 star ratings but Sung and the April Story team are above and beyond exceptional in all categories. We are fully pleased customers and overall had a wonderful experience with the services provided by Sung and April Story Films. They are reliable and provide top quality service and work (very personable too). We were recommended April Story Films by our family and friends who had used their services and noted that the quality is top notch and worth every penny; we agree! Throughout the entire process they were professional and courteous. They are full of life and made the often stressful times of a wedding seem carefree and fun. We never once doubted their execution in following through or their expertise. It was apparent they knew exactly what they were doing, but communicated in a humble and gracious manner. During our actual ceremony and reception they captured some amazing footage without getting in the way or distracting from the ceremony. The product they delivered was absolutely phenomenal! Sung was instrumental in helping us with song choices for the trailer and full length film. He made sure the trailer was delivered in time for our East Coast reception showing. We were completely blown away by how beautifully it all came together. We received many compliments from friends and family who were blown away. It is very clear that April Story Films takes great pride in their work and are passionate about what they do; their attention to detail and dedication to the editing process sets them apart. The video flows well and the music blends exceptionally with the shots. They were a joy to work with during the one-on-one shots and afterwards solicited and incorporated our feedback on song selection. Because we were so confident in their abilities, we had no quarrels in patiently waiting for full length film which was a lovely 6 month anniversary present. Again, we were impressed and excited that our day was captured so beautifully. We highly recommend April Story Films for any event - we are an extremely happy couple! :)
