Frame Story Studios

Hands down, Mario & Fran were our favorite vendor. When we found them, we lived in OK so they were very understanding and willing to work with us at a moment's notice, despite the distance. When it came time for the big day, they were very professional, but still felt as though they were family. The best thing about them is they listened to us. They did everything we asked! They made our likes and dislikes the top priority. Our wedding video was well worth the wait because it was absolutely amazing. It was everything we hoped it would be! We would highly recommend this dynamite duo for a wedding videographer!!

My wife and I hired Mario and Fran for a June wedding for 12 hours. They were punctual, friendly, and very accommodating towards our needs. They also met with us a couple weeks beforehand in order to get to know us and see what we were looking for in terms of the video content. They delivered their videos within the time frame specified in the contract. It was a great experience overall, and we're very happy with the results. We would definitely recommend them.

There are many amazing things we could say about Mario & Fran but here are a few that I think lend to how they stand out from others. Quality of Film I’m not just taking about great shots, shooting in HD, or delivering on time (which they all did!). I’d like to highlight how present they were to us and our guests on our special day. I know this because when watching our Feature Film, not only am I brought back to that day, but I also see such intention when choosing what footage to use, especially our family. It’s awesome. From the facial expressions of joy to the selection of what words to use and what speakers to highlight. My now-husband and I barely gave them any direction that day and they were so intuitive to what would really matter to us. That’s priceless. Especially with how hectic and stressful planning can be. Having filmmakers who can tell a story by really listening and paying attention to the couple and what makes them unique and special, their guests, and their day is priceless. Great Presence & Gratitude They have such a genuine presence that it really put us at ease. I don’t know that we ever worried that they would be able to put something great together. We really trusted them. Having them on that day, they were really in the background and yet capturing great footage and really cool shots. They also really enjoy what they do and that’s something that came across to us. We really appreciated how appreciative they were to be a part of our day. How cool! On top of that, they were very accommodating and flexible. There is a sense of pride in what they do. And at the end of the day, that’s what you want in your filmmaker. Someone who will go the distance, honor that day and your guests as much as you do, and produce something wonderful.

Mario and Fran were exactly what we wanted as our videographers. They were professional and courteous to our every request. Even though they deal with many brides and grooms throughout the year, they truly make you feel like we are their top priority and their only clients. Fran was there personally to shoot our wedding day along with Alex and they were so personable and easy to talk to. We didn't even know they were around filming they were so professional and Fran was the sweetest! Mario and Fran did such a great job on our video, I cry every time. We highly recommend Mario and Fran productions. They captured our wedding day perfectly and th it attentional to detail was impeccable, beautifully done. David and O can't thank you enough! :)

You spend months if not years planning a wedding, hoping everything comes together. You have friends and family fly in from all over the world to see you, vendors timing their services perfectly, and you cross your fingers that all the details work out just right. And then the day finally comes, and it flashes by so quickly, you can hardly remember anything that happened! My husband and I were definitely shocked by how much of a whirlwind our wedding day ended up being. I remember going through all these special moments on the day of completely terrified that I wasn’t consecrating everything to memory. This is why we’re so glad we decided to get videographers for our wedding day. Mario and Fran were so approachable from the moment we met them, and they made us feel at ease and seemed dedicated to create a product that truly reflected us and our unique relationship. They are consummate professionals, but feel like old friends you can just easily talk to. On the day of the wedding, they blended seamlessly in the background. For the most part, I completely forgot they were there! They got along so well with all our other vendors, they are truly a joy to work with. They were also super communicative during the video creation and editing process. They asked for our suggestions and feedback to make sure that the videos they made really represented us, and they kept us updated on their progress. When we finally got our videos, all the memories that I was so scared to have lost suddenly flooded back to my mind. These keepsakes will truly be the anchor that will allow us to remember everything that happened on this special day, and it’s something we’ll be able to share with our children in the future! If you’re looking for a talented, kind and generous down-to-Earth couple who truly understand love and the importance of remembering special moments, look no further than Mario & Fran Productions! You won’t regret it!

Mario and  Fran did an amazing job with our wedding video! I highly recommend them. They went above and beyond our expectations and made a beautiful keepsake we will treasure forever!

If this is TLDR, there are two things you should know about Mario & Fran: 1) Their work is extraordinary and 2) Both of them are an absolute joy to work with, and one thing you should know about me: I am not easy to please. To give some more detail on #1: We had 4 total events for our 75% South Asian wedding. They really leveraged their documentary-making backgrounds, to create a unique highlight reel where they spliced with the pre-wedding ceremony content into the wedding speeches and highlights to provide a beautiful story arch. For example, they showed my MIL's speech where she's saying she's the happiest about our big day, and kept that voiceover going while showing her dancing up a storm at our pre-wedding procession. My sister made a joke about MILs in her toast, and they cut to my MIL's real time reaction. Upon viewing the videos, both our families commented on how Mario & Fran were able to capture all the important moments AND reactions to those moments, and everything in between WHILE simultaneously not getting in anyone's faces. On #2: Prior to the event, Mario and Fran worked with our coordinator and photographer to make sure everything went smoothly. They were super laid back during the events, and really responsive to questions throughout. Our guests loved them, and as I mentioned earlier - they never missed a moment and they weren't pushy with getting the views they needed. Also as context, we debated hiring videographers, so the bar was high on whether it would be worth it to hire anyone... and we are so glad we did. Hands down the best decision of our wedding planning!!

Mario and Fran are an amazing team who beautifully captured our wedding day. They are extremely professional, always responding to emails in a timely manner. The day of the wedding, they made us feel at ease being in front of the camera. After planning for so long, the day goes by incredibly fast. My husband and I are so thankful for the beautiful videos as we get to relive the day over and over again. We've even had our family and friends tell us they cried watching the videos. Thank you so much, Mario and Fran, for all of your hard work and for doing such an amazing job!

What can we say! A LOT! Nick and I are are so happy we found Mario & Fran through our friend Brian Christ! What a blessing! We always knew we wanted to have a wedding video as part of our wedding but what we received was a cinematic masterpiece! There is a reason they are called FILMS! We got the Signature Collection and received an almost 10 minute film. We were literally in the airport about to board our plane for our honeymoon a few days after the wedding and they sent us a surprise 15 second teaser. That teaser! Wow! I knew from those 15 seconds that we were in store for a film that we'd treasure forever!! We were trying to watch it over and over on the plane even when they said go to airplane mode. Airplane mode - no!! Airplane mode means no Instagram which means we can't keep watching the teaser! We didn't check in on Mario & Fran at all about the feature film. Why? Because we knew it would be worth the wait! We knew it and had no worries! Boy when it arrived...oh my goodness! No words! Well, I'll try to find the words. We cried and laughed and our hearts swelled with joy! It was a masterpiece! We couldn't be happier with Mario & Fran!! Listening - They listen! They listen like no one else. In our first meeting, they let Nick and I ramble on and on about our love story, details of the wedding, etc. I implored them to interrupt me but no they are kind and proper and they waited until I was finished. Organized - They are very organized with all of their processes. They know what questions to ask (if you haven't answered their questions already) for prep, in progress and post -wedding. They have a plan and they execute amazingly. Caring - They truly care about making your day amazing. They try to move with the flow and not interrupt any other actions or vendors. But no need because they were our prized possession. Video and photography were the most important pieces for Nick & I! During the wedding day, if they asked us to do something or asked if we'd be interested in a certain setup, they would always check in and make sure we were uncomfortable. I knew the whole day everything that they would be doing would align to a magnificent piece of an amazing puzzle. In synch - it helped to know that Mario and Fran had worked together for a long time and were a couple. You can see how well they work together and how it makes their results that much better. They are each half of a wonderful whole. Master Editors - The way they edit all that raw footage is spectacular! I don't know how they do it. We didn't guide them at all about music or much of anything and they were able to bring to us something that fit perfectly! Really some things are hard to put into words. The feature film highlighted all the most amazing moments of our day. Each piece fit perfectly with the piece before it. It includes special moments, big moments, little moments, candid moments. Every time we watch it, we have the same reaction as the first time we saw it. I just remember everyone having the same reaction when they saw it and one sticks out. My brother said, "its like a trailer for an amazing love story." Really its the film, not the trailer. Its the film of Nick and I. It is our story. It is our hopes and dreams. It is our families and our future families. It is our past, present and future. Thank you Mario & Fran. Love, Sofya & Nick

Mario and Fran made an amazing highlight feature film of our special day. We genuinely appreciate their artistry and professional manner. We felt emotional watching our film and reliving every moment. They were able to capture the major highlights of our 12-hour-long day and encapsulate it in a short reel bringing out the best parts of our church ceremony and family's toasts. We are very grateful for their talented work and highly recommend them to any couple getting married. From the songs to the close-up shots to the wide angles they selected, we loved every minute of our film and can't wait to share it with our family and friends.

Oh how i love the work of these people!! Mario and Fran were both nice and easy to communicate to, i mean they connect with you instantly without having to explain what you would like the project how to look like, they make the best out of it and very professional in all aspects, They made my friends wedding (Jimmy and Grace Covarrubias) last December more i mean most unforgettable moment because of the high quality of service they gave us, i remember during the time Of preparation when everybody is too busy doing this and that they just made it easier for us in the sense that when they capture the moment we will just set aside the worries and go with the flow and just smile and laugh as we know they're capturing every moment in that day, actually i know they were there but they wer so calm and just standing there taking this and that, Fran was even helping us bridesmaid to finalize some of the wedding details etc, that's why i said oh my God i dont think their work will be as good as we want to, bec she just dont do her job but she also become one of the bridesmaid helping the bride for minutes, lol... but OH MY GOD when i see the video!! Oh Lordy' it was beyond perfect!! I love how they put everything together, and the fact that i saw my face how many times in the video and my daughter's is a plus, haha since we're one of the selfie queens, but minus points for not showing my handsome husband even once' huhuhu.. Anyway, all in all they are perfect!! I wish i had them on my wedding, i hope i can bring them to the Philippines that time' lol... Very professional and beyond beyond beyond my expectations!!! Many thumbs up including my toes!!! Very good job!!! Congratulations for the great work!! See you on our next adventure together..

Mario and Fran did an amazing job! Highly recommended:) They are easy to work with and they made our special day awesome! We love the video so much!

If you're looking for videographers that not only create incredible videos that will bring you to tears every time you watch them, but who are also amazing people who are so fun to work with, you should absolutely choose Mario and Fran Productions! My husband and I didn't think we needed a videographer until we came across Mario and Fran's work. About two weeks before our wedding we decided we should look into videographers (poor planning on our part). Since we waited until the last minute, we had a very tight budget to work with and weren't having much luck finding anyone we could afford. After almost settling on another videographer, our photographer referred us to Mario and Fran. My husband and I watched one of their videos and found ourselves bawling like babies, so I emailed them ASAP. Lucky for us, all the stars aligned and they were available to do our wedding and meet our budget!! About 2 days before the wedding (remember we booked them super last minute), my husband and I met with Mario and Fran to go over the timeline and details of the day. From that moment on, we ABSOLUTELY knew we picked the perfect videographers. They were friendly, kind, funny, easy to work with and really professional. We could tell that they didn't just look at us as another job. They actually wanted to get to know me and my husband as a couple. It was so refreshing. On the morning of our wedding they arrived on time and starting shooting right away. It's beyond obvious that they both are completely comfortable at what they're doing, as they were able to get amazing shots without distracting our guests -- something you can't say about all videographers. Something that we especially loved about working with Mario and Fran was how they went out of their way to keep us in the loop through email after our wedding was through. It was like Christmas Day reading their updates and getting an idea of when we will receive our videos! About 1.5 months after the wedding they sent us a 20 second teaser video (it definitely teased us), and then a couple weeks after that we had a 6 minute highlight video. It PERFECTLY captured all of our favorite moments from the day. It's a video my husband and I cherish so very much. In addition, we have videos of our full ceremony (this was so special to watch) and all of the speeches. We received DVDs with all of these videos on them (it's a small fee per DVD) as well as a hard drive of all of the raw footage (this was also an extra fee but SO worth it). Mario and Fran also threw in edited videos of our first dance, the father-daughter dance, the mother-son dance, our thank you speech to our guests and our cake cutting -- we LOVE having these and sharing them with family and friends. If we had to do anything again, we would have hired Mario and Fran Productions so much sooner!! They are so INCREDIBLY talented and ABSOLUTELY worth every penny!!! Hiring them was one of the best wedding decisions we've made!! Thank you so much, Mario and Fran, for creating these fantastic videos for us!!! We love them more than we can express and will cherish them for the rest of our lives!!

We were extremely pleased with the outcome of Mario and Fran's Videography for our wedding. Their work truly captured all the fine details that we had hoped for and really helped us feel like we could relive that special day while watching. All of our family members that we shared the videos with were also very impressed. We have seen some of our friends videos from their recent marriage and I honestly believe that we chose the right Videographers in Mario and Fran. Thank you both so much for all the hard work, courtesy, and providing us with a priceless video that we can always look back on and cherish!!
