Fisheye Studio

Kameron, Michael and Peter helped us relax and be ourselves in front of the camera. I usually hate watching myself in videos but I loved our SDE and still watch it everyday. We are so excited for the full-length video. I love how Fisheye captures those funny/sweet moments and how they pick out the songs they use for their videos.

The entire staff are true professionals and amazingly talented. They have great eyes for the right moment and timing. They get personal and use that to all of our advantages to understand what we were looking for and used our personalities to capture the perfect pictures. We also used them for cinematography, and their same day edit video was professionally done and told a emotional story in minutes. They are a little pricey but totally worth it.

The best around! They do amazing work and Mike Malament provides excellent service. He knows how to not get in the way of the bride, yet still get the important footage he needs to make the video exactly what we want.

This review is long overdue, but I need to share with future brides and grooms the wonderful experience we had with Fisheye Studio. Before our wedding, I was on the fence about getting a videographer. I wasn't sure if I would appreciate the finished product or if it would be worth the expense. But the moment I saw our wedding film for the first time, I knew I'd made the right choice in picking Fisheye to capture our day. We didn't give the Fisheye crew much direction as to what we had in mind, yet they used their skills as cinematographers and artists to create a film that was uniquely "us." Not to mention that they were a joy to work with—kind, engaging, professional, intuitive, and easy-going. The finished film was just what I wanted. It was beautifully edited, highlighting all the key moments of our special day and featured the perfect soundtrack with brilliant timing. This is truly an investment I will cherish forever. Fisheye Studio rocks!

We chose Fisheye Studio because they were on the vendor list for the Aulani. Before that, we never heard of them. Once we met Joshua, we immediately new that we wanted his team to be the ones to film and photograph our very special day! They were so easy to work with for our engagement session and also on the day of the wedding. Fisheye gave us a package that included an engagement session (we did 2 different days at 2 different locations), a pre-wedding session (chinese tea ceremony the day before the wedding), wedding day, and post-wedding session (day after the wedding as married couple). Overall, they are really good at what they do! My husband and I are so happy that we chose Fisheye Studio for our photographer and videographer!

I was first captured by the awesomeness that is Fisheye Studio when I watched the same day edit video played at my good friend's wedding in Hawaii. My wedding was less than a year after hers in California, and at the time I could only dream of having something similar at mine. After a thorough search of videographers in California, I realized I could not find anyone with the same sense of style as Fisheye. It was also very difficult for me to find someone who would put together a same day edit video for our wedding day. We wanted someone who would be able to capture our love on film, and so we decided to call Fisheye in the off chance that they might be in California during our wedding. We found out they wouldn't be in California but to our surprise, they were willing to fly out! Fisheye also worked with our budget so that we could make this happen. If it weren't for them, we probably wouldn't have had videography at all! Now I have something I can watch and remember for a lifetime. Fisheye took the time to get to know both my husband and me as well as our relationship. I believe this helped while they were filming. My wedding was both South Asian and American, and Fisheye made sure to get all the special shots we wanted. They were so dedicated that they even took footage days before our wedding day. The week of our wedding, my husband and I were incredibly busy, but Fisheye was very patient with us, even waiting more than an hour without complaint as we were stuck in LA traffic. They were by far the best vendors we have ever worked with. I would highly recommend them to anyone. After the same day edit was played at our wedding, all our guests could not stop raving about it. Working with Fisheye was such a delight and they have become more than just vendors to us. If you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity, you should definitely check out Fisheye Studio.

When we first started planning our wedding, initially I thought having a video of the wedding would be a nice to have - not really critical. As I spoke with friends/family about weddings I started noticing a consistent theme....those that didn't hire a videographer wish they had, and those that did were especially greatful (in one instance I was told how the couple's wedding video was cherished because subsequently the bride's mother had a stroke and was now confined to a wheelchair - so those images were priceless). Once I finally had some sense knocked into me I knew a videography service was not a nice to have - it was essential! With that I set out reviewing the websites of countless videographers - because if I was going to do it, it was going to be done right. Right away I could tell there was a broad spectrum of talent and quality available in the vendors. We felt so blessed when we found out our top choice (Fisheye) was available - and we knew our wedding would be in good hands. Joshua was so sweet and easy to work with, and he and Kameron were with us not only the entire day of the wedding, but also attended our rehearsal the day before. We could not be happier with the end result. It truely is more of a movie than a video of the wedding - it was edited beautifully, and we love the music that was paired with the images. We have received numerous compliments on our video - and one of our friends even refers to it as the Spielberg wedding because it was of such high quality. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this wonderful movie that we will treasure for years to come! Here was our short film: http://vimeo.com/39713424

i love these people. they were so helpful and friendly.

When we first met with Josh and his crew we thought to ourselves, "We wanna hang out with these guys!" They seem like cool cats who we'd love to be friends with. On top of that - they have an awesome asthetique that matched what we were looking for in a videographer/photographer perfectly. Our favorite thing about Fisheye Studio is their attention to MUSIC in their videos. They don't just slap down some overplayed track about mushy love and wedding bells. Josh et al pick out some of the most unique soundtracks that end up being PERFECT for conveying the vibe of the day. We got the full package and they brought a whole army of photographers/videographers on our wedding day. They were professional and polite - stayed out of our way - but I KNOW they mustʻve gotten some great shots. Can't wait to see the final product but just HAD to write this review to sing their praises. AWESOME to work with! Thanks, guys.

I would have begged Fisheye Studio to capture our wedding day if I had to! I searched high and low for just the right style of videographer for our wedding and as soon as we saw their videos online, we knew they were right for us. I contacted Joshua Fair, the Director, via e-mail very early on in our planning to inquire about their services. I was immediately impressed. Joshua was so friendly and warm in his e-mails with us. We live in Minneapolis and were married on Maui, so it was important that our vendors be easy to work with because we were so far away. Fisheye is located on Oahu, but they offer the option to travel and I was so thrilled that they were available for our wedding. On the day of the wedding, Joshua and Michael were at our hotel bright and early and welcomed us with big hugs. Joshua stayed with the girls as we got ready and Michael filmed the guys. I didn’t even notice Joshua was there the majority of the time. They were easy to work with and they kept the mood light throughout the day. Every single one of our guests commented that day, and the days following, how impressed they were with the videographers. They were so unobtrusive. Also, there is not one shot where you can see someone that doesn’t belong (i.e. photographer, wedding planner, etc). As part of our package, we had a “day after” shoot. This allows them to get some cool shots that we couldn’t do on the day of the wedding (for fear of getting my beautiful white dress dirty!). The day after the wedding, Joshua and Michael picked us up at 8 a.m. and we were off to get some really amazing shots. They took care of everything and picked out the perfect location. We were sad when we had to say goodbye because we wished we could have spent more time with them on our vacation! They had to leave that day to go back to Oahu, but Joshua made a special trip back to Maui a few weeks later to capture some of the landmarks and beauty of the island to include in our video. Wow! Fisheye Studio does not describe themselves as videographers, but rather as cinematographers and it is clear why. Cinematography is so much more than just setting up a video camera on a tripod. It is a skill of putting the different shots together to tell the perfect story of us as a couple, to show how we were feeling in each moment and to include every detail of our perfect day. They have top-of-the-line cameras, the best editing equipment out there and their eye for detail and their way of capturing all of the little moments is truly unique. The work they do is second to none and that was clear in our final videos. My husband and I were at a loss for words when we saw our videos for the first time. One of our favorite things was the song selections, which is left up to Fisheye. We had a reception at home a few months after our Maui wedding and we were able to share our day with family and friends who couldn’t be in Hawaii with us. Everyone was just in shock when they saw our videos turned out. They had never seen anything like it. We have watched our highlight and full-length videos numerous times and we have even kept in contact with Joshua since our wedding. We are so happy they were there to capture our special day and we would recommend them to anyone. There is really only one word to describe how we feel about Fisheye Studio and their work: PERFECTION!

I don't know where to begin, but I will try... These guys are Top-Notch! They were extremely friendly, easy to work with, Innovative, and Creative! They covered the whole wedding details which was very important to my wife. Aside from being detail oriented, they were also able to do a same day edit for us, in the midst of all the business. All of our guests were very impressed and blown away by their work. My wife and I are not natural performers in front of cameras. But leave it to Fisheye to miraculously capture our best scenes by making us feel very comfortable behind the camera. One thing that was unique to me about Fisheye is that they offer a Trash the dress shooting that follows up a month or so after your wedding. The cool thins about this is that Fisheye went above and beyond to film us in an environment that was unique to my wife and I. My wife and I are outdoorsy, and she specifically loves waterfalls... Well, you would think hiking through mud, and bringing thousand plus $$ of camera equipment would shy away any video crew... But not Fisheye... They were right there with us hiking it to a favorite spot that led to a waterfall, where my wife and I literally trashed the dress by sitting in the waterfall. Overall, I'm so glad we went with Fisheye and their crew! They were able to capture everything we were not able to see that day. They made it very fun! I would recommend them to anyone! Thanks again Josh for the great memories that will last a lifetime! Peace!!

I used Fisheye for both photography and video. They were amazing! They came with 2 videographers and 2 photographers. They were very through. They had an enormous amount of equipment - multiple cameras and stands. They made everyone feel very comfortable and at ease. They were all very cool. They even stayed a little later than scheduled to make sure the captured everything. I can't wait to see the pictures and video!

My husband and I love our wedding reception highlights video. Josh and co. did a great job and were easy to work with.

We loved our same day edit. The fisheye crew was very professional and captured our day beautifully without being in the way.

Josh and his crew at Fisheye are awesome- they made us feel very comfortable during the whole process. It's a weird experience to have a camera following you around when you are getting ready, but I wouldn't have wanted anyone else but this incredible crew

We booked this videographer for our wedding. They did a great job, we were satisfied with the finished video. The only comments we want to make are that we didn't get to pick our song for the highlight video or long video (after asking around I found out that friends that have recently married were able to pick their songs [different vendor]), we were sent the wrong video (different couple), the first version we got had errors on it (a text box appeared on the screen), and at the outdoor reception once it got dark we were asked to move the dancing over the a brighter area of the backyard (why weren't we asked about the lighting before the wedding if it may have been a concern?). We were sent corrected videos ASAP once we brought the errors to their attention. So in summary, they are very creative and we love our video but we think that they could better serve their clients if they could work on some of the things that I had listed above.

This company is just plain awesome. AWESOME!! Joshua Fair is always extremely quick to respond to e-mails. A couple days before the wedding, I let him know I had to start makeup a few hours earlier than planned. Straight away he said they would come earlier to catch all the glory from before the makeup artist arrives, at no extra charge. This was completely unexpected for me and made me feel quite confident in their professionalism. They had our highlights video up online for all to see about 2 months post wedding, and I had friends of friends (who I don't even know) e-mailing me saying they got teary eyed. It was put together in such a fun and Hollywood-like manor. Not your every day cheesy wedding videographer! It's about 2.5 months post-wedding now and I just got notice that the photos and videos will be mailed out tomorrow, can't wait!!
