JR and Make My Day Videography were fantastic. Trying to stay under budget, we almost decided to eliminate videography all together. We are so glad we didn't.
Out of the many vi...
deographers we sat down, JR had the far most reasonable packages to offer.
JR and company showed up early and got plenty of "set-up" footage, to go along with the complete ceremony coverage. They did an amazing job covering the reception, capturing moments we were too busy to witness ourselves.
The quality of the final video is top-notch and more than we ever expected. We loved the montage they put together for us, and the menus were a nice touch.
We love our video. Thank you!
What can I say about John, JR & Ana??? From the moment I contacted "make my day" I knew I was in good hands! We weren't sure if we were going to get a videographer at all, but kn...
owing that there would be SO much going on the day of the wedding and that there was no way I would be able to catch all of it or remember it all, getting a Videographer seemed the smartest thing to do.
Ana was wonderful to work with. She made sure that I had the exact package I wanted and for a price that fit my budget. The 2 things I tell people when they ask me about the company I used are: 1) they're filmmakers so it's going to be AWESOME and BEAUTIFULLY SHOT! and 2) they're totally affordable.
On the day - JR & John were professional, efficient, friendly and caught EVERYTHING I asked for and more. When I watched the videos with my husband I saw moments I didn't even know happened that day. And for that, I'll be forever grateful.
Our "montage", as I like to call it, is one of my favorite things in the world and I'll show anyone that will sit still long enough. :) It still blows me away how PERFECTLY they captured Chris and I as individuals, us as a couple, and so many moments throughout the day that truly told the full story in just a few minutes, with all the important people and a song of our choosing so it feels like we're starring in our own music video. haha I LOVE IT!
One of my favorite stories that we tell people about working with Make My Day is that I was TOTALLY lagging getting them some music they needed for final editing. Eventually I got it to them. And Ana and the guys must have realized that Valentine's Day was coming up and I had mentioned earlier that it would be really great if we had our video in time for Valentine's Day so we could watch it on that day. How romantic, right? Well, b/c of MY delay I thought that wouldn't happen. One day Ana called me and said, "will you be home tomorrow?" I said yes. And she drove over...on a Sunday...in her own spare time...because she knew that if she put the video in the mail it wouldn't get there in time. And because of her and the guys' generosity - we had our wedding video to watch on Valentine's Day. All because of their care, consideration and personal attention.
The footage the guys got and edited together is incredible. Thy quality will blow you away. They're editing is beautiful. They take the music you give them and fit it absolutely perfectly with the different moments or parts of the day. I honestly can't say enough about them.
The proof is in the pudding I guess. I've sent my wedding montage and Make My Day's website & contact info to LITERALLY every single person I know that's gotten engaged since our wedding almost 3 years ago. They're the best out there for all the reasons I've mentioned and you'd be lucky to have them there with you and looking out for you on one of the most special days of your life.
Thank you John, JR & Ana. Hiring you guys was one of the best, if not THE best decision we made when planning our wedding. Chris and I are eternally grateful.
To much more success and beautiful memories.
xoxo
Miracle & Chris
I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend for a videographer but after seeing the amazing video clips from Make My Day Videography I knew this company was the one for our wedding. They ar...
e super personable and you can tell they really love what they do and are AMAZING at it. They went the extra mile by showing up early to catch a glimpse of us up on the roof top before the ceremony. Love companies that go the extra mile to get it all in for your on your special day.
They replied promptly to our service request and communication went smoothly thereafter.
Our videographer was friendly and "blended in with the crowd" on our wedding day. The e...
quipment he used was top of the line and nearly unnoticeable.
I was surprised to learn that many vendors in the wedding industry are not organized. Make My Day Videography is quite the contrary. They surpassed our expectations when it came to customer service and professionalism.
Hire them!
I'm so thankful we decided to use Make My Day Videography for our wedding! When they showed up to start filming they were incredibly professional and friendly and said they would b...
e blending in for the rest of the day. They were amazingly successful at being everywhere at the same time, capturing moments we would've never seen without them and doing it all so discreetly! I would definitely recommend them to anyone getting married!
Make My Day Videography was exactly what my husband and I were looking for in a videographer: professional, good quality for a reasonable price, and experienced. In the process of...
figuring out which videographer we were going to choose, JR (main videographer) was gracious enough to meet with me and go over what to expect from a wedding videographer as well as the packages they were offering. I appreciated that not much had to be discussed with them, they just did their job on the day of the wedding. I also commend them on trying very hard to interview the guests, even staying a bit later then they should have to do so. There was a large gap between the ceremony and reception and they accommodated our unusual schedule as well. From my interaction with them before and during the wedding, I highly recommend this company.
After months of diligent research for a Videographer, I knew I found the talents I was hoping for upon reading the reviews & watching their sample videos online. Make My Day Videog...
raphy was one of the best decisions I made (next to marrying my husband, of course!)and want to make sure they get the credit they so deserve. I usually don't care enough to write a review but this team is that amazing, I could not just let such talents go unrecognized.
From day one, Ana (the office manager), was extremely professional & prompted with her responses. I had many questions prior to booking with them & questions along the way; Ana was able to address every question or concern one by one which helped settle my nerves. Ana was personable in every way and helped customize a package that worked for our wedding day yet still remain competitively priced (to be clear, their rate is for two professional videographers, not just an assistant as an extra cameraman).
JR & John are both very passionate about their craft and the final product I received clearly displayed that. The DVDs were seamlessly edited to reflect only the great moments that filled that day and completed on time as promised. Best of all, they offer a personal touch by incorporating songs & pictures that you submit to Ana; it is pretty amazing to hear your favorite songs while reliving the best moments of your wedding day :)
My Aha! Moment: Our wedding day did not go without a hitch (of course)and as I was frantically getting ready that morning I happen to walk pass John while he was setting up and with a warm smile he said Hi. At that moment John helped put things into perspective, it is a celebration of love and no matter how crazy it can be they are true professionals. They will capture your day respectfully and with utmost care.
Thank you John, JR & Ana for an awesome job well done, it was truly a pleasure working with you.
All the best :)
I hired Make My Day Videography for my June wedding and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Videography was something that was very important to me but the more I researched, t...
he more disheartened I became that it would be out of my budget. Luckily, I stumbled across Make My Day Videography who fit within my budget and produced a professional product to boot. From my initial phone conversations and emails with Ana, I knew that I could count of them to be professional. Ana was always such a pleasure to work with; very prompt in responding and extremely friendly and helpful. Since I was planning my wedding from across the country, I ended up meeting the guys the day of my wedding and I was immediately impressed by their professionalism and warmth. They were SUCH a joy to work with and have around on the big day. I remember seeing them from time to time but mostly they were incredibly discreet while simultaneously being everyone at once. Following the wedding, communication has once again been easy and pleasant. Again, I am so impressed with this company and the caliber of people they are. As a client, you really feel taken care of and important. As far as value goes, they are the best... and believe me, I looked. I'm so glad I found them and would hire them all over again if I had the chance. Thank you Make My Day Videography for, well, making my day!
When I first found Make My Day Video, I was in constant contact with Ana. She was great- answered all of my questions over the phone and via email. The day of our wedding, the guy...
s at Make My Day were personable and friendly. They chatted with my husband & his groomsmen before the ceremony and they all got along very well. I know they must have been taping throughout the wedding, since I recall seeing them at key moments (cake cutting, etc.), but they did a great job blending into the crowd. We're currently awaiting our final product...can't wait to see it, we know it will be fantastic! Thank you, Make My Day!
My husband and I are so happy with Make My Day Videography. They had amazing service: answered emails quickly, planned a timeline of shooting for us, and even called the day before...
the wedding to confirm our plans. They worked with our budget and we were able to have 2 great videographers with us on our day! They captured all of the great moments! It's a memory and gift we will treasure forever. They also personalized our wedding DVDs with pictures from our wedding day that we emailed. Very professional and talented!
Make my day Videography shot our wedding, and we could not be happier.
They were very professional, friendly, and easy to work with. The final results they delivered was very hig...
h quality, the sound and image were spot on. The presentation of the DVD was also very professional, i was very proud to give it to my parents and in-laws.
It was so nice to watch the video back and see all the things we missed the night of the wedding, and reliving every moment is priceless.
You will not be let down.
The Make My Day team is great. They are very professional and friendly. We were really glad we went with them; they were easy to work with and made you feel comfortable. They are v...
ery creative and have an eye for capturing all the special moments. We really enjoyed the DVD and were very pleased with the final product. They did an amazing job and we loved everything about it. We would highly recommend them to our friends and family. Thank you Ana, JR and John, you guys are awesome!
First off, I have to say that my husband did not want to hire a videographer for our wedding, but I did. I felt that pictures were not going to be able to tell the whole story as a...
video would. Anyhow, after going back and forth with my husband, I did some research, and I found “Make My day Videography”. I compared prices, and they were very reasonable compared to other companies out there. Then I moved on to reading the reviews, and watching their sample videos. I was sold when I received a sample video from a wedding they had just covered! I showed my husband part of the sample video, along with their prices, and he was still hesitant. He kept on telling me that this expense would just be a waste of money. Well, I told him that if he didn’t want to split the cost for videography that I would pay for it on my own, for me it was very important to have a video of our special day. I went ahead and I booked them, and I am so glad I did! John and JR were amazing, they did not get on the way at all, yet they were able to cover every single detail of our wedding. They were both very friendly and courteous, we loved working with them! I was so pleased when I received my CD’s, and most of all my husband was very pleased I went thought with it! What I loved most about our videographers was that they were able to capture every expression in our faces, from beginning to end. We’ve only been married for 5 months, and I think I’ve watched the video at least 5 times. We can’t get enough of it! I highly recommend Make My Day Video, they are very reasonable, experienced, and most of all you will love the final product! I love; love, love the picture montage, and thank you so much for helping me decide what song to use throughout our video. I will be recommending you guys to family and friends. Thank you to Ana for being so helpful and responsive, to John and JR for capturing our very own special day!
Much Luck to you’ all!

as slightly worried because I never met anyone of them. Ana answered all my questions. During the wedding, the guys were on-time and seemed organized. I am still waiting for my video but I am very pleased with their services.
Make My Day did a great job at my daughter's wedding. We have already recommended them to friends having weddings.

I just got my wedding DVD and had to write a review!
I got married on July 14, 2012. I hired Make My Day Videography right after I met them. They were nice and friendly and very a...
ffordable. These guys did such an amazing job! These guys must of been video ninjas because I don't really remember seeing them that much. I must of been having a lot fun at my wedding. Anyways I just received my DVDs on my birthday actually on the 25th and I couldn't wait to watch it. First off the DVD cover was so nice. I loved it. They put the perfect pictures on it. They did such a wonderful job! I can't believe how they condensed 6 hours into 1 hour and they captured everything. I am so happy with it! The songs, the transition into each part of the wedding. I loved it! Thank you so much for capturing my special day!
I wasn't sure if I wanted to have a video of our wedding.I was trying to keep cost down and thought I could do with out one. Then my dad talked me into having one. I am so happy th...
at he did. I looked for companies on the knott and found make my day videography. They were so friendly when I spoke with them and had an amazing prices and a fabulous website. After speaking with Ana, it was obvious that they were the right ones to go with. They were very professional & friendly at the wedding and made the whole experience fun. We are looking forward to seeing our video and sharing it with our families. I highly recommend Make my day videography.
As my husband and I were planning our wedding and expenses started adding up quickly, we had all but decided not to have a videographer. Somewhere along the way, we changed our mi...
nd and I am SO GRATEFUL!! I cannot say enough about Make My Day Videography. Not only were they extremely professional, they were so friendly and laid back. I felt completely comfortable with them. They were also so affordable.
We got our video and we are so happy with it. It is absolutely perfect. They seemed to catch all of the special moments of the day perfectly. I am so grateful that we went with Make My Day Videography. I would recommend them to anyone.
Very smooth communication, wonderful video, great product, very professional.

eat value for the price and they are so great to work with.
We decided only a month before the wedding that we wanted a video, and Make My Day came to our rescue! They were easy to work with and professional. The guys that shot our wedding ...
were great. They were always around capturing the moment, but they were never in the way. I also loved the personalized end product. Thanks, Make My Day Videography for making our day!
We were on the fence about having a videographer for our wedding. It was a last minute decision to have one and we are glad we chose Make My Day Videography. We had read through th...
e reviews and compared prices and felt that they fit into what we needed.
On the day of the wedding they were perfect. They were very courteous and understanding that it was an already hectic day for us and didn't need to contribute to it. They just stood back and captured our special day for us. They were definitely very professional in getting their shots while staying out of the photographer’s shots as well.
The end result, our video. It blew away all our expectations. We were expecting a montage and a lot of raw footage of the special day. We were definitely pleasantly surprised. The montage was great and the editing of the entire evening was just icing on the cake. Also the quality was excellent, we received both DVD copies and Blu-Ray copies.
If you’re hesitant on having a videographer we have two words of advice to you (1) definitely have a videographer to capture the entire evening. As the bride I missed many portions of the night that I would have never seen without a videographer. (2) Definitely book Make My Day Videography, they are the triple package. They are a bargain at their prices, they provide an outstanding end product, and they are a dream to work with.
My parents really wanted us to get a videographer. My (now) husband and I were against it. Our wedding was lower-budget, rustic, and funky with lots of DIY elements and we didn’t...
like the idea of having video cameras around in addition to the already hired photographer. But we let them have their wish, and are so glad that we did! The compromise was to only hire someone if they were cheap enough. We looked at many videographers’ samples and chose Make My Day because their work looked good and they were way more affordable than others whose work we also liked aesthetically. We love our video. They did a great job. At first we didn’t care about having video at all, and now it’s our most cherished keepsake!
Make My Day Videography was an excellent choice for us. JR & John were really nice and took excellent footage of our wedding. They offered options in our price range and gave us a ...
wonderful, professional looking DVD. The cover looked gorgeous and the DVDs are nicely put together. Plus, Ana was always really friendly and responsive to email whenever we had questions. They are a great company to work with and we highly recommend them.
I rarely take the time to write reviews for anything, but for John, JR and Ana I just HAVE to. They deserve it.
I found Make My Day Videography on a random online search when ...
my husband and I were planning our wedding this year. What drew me to them was their affordable pricing but yet very high reviews and awards from various sites and magazines. I called them immediately to set up a meeting and was greeted on the phone by Ana, the office manager. She was so warm and friendly, it felt like I was speaking to a friend and not some stranger. Her young son was chatting in the background and she kept apologizing profusely for the noise. I thought it was rather cute :) Her son even said "give that girl an extra dvd!" We laughed but she did not disappoint her son...she promised to throw in an extra dvd at no cost to our package! She set up a meeting for my husband and I to meet John and JR, the videographers the following week...
Our first meeting with John and JR had me hooked. They are the most awesome, sweet and generous guys. They took the time to ask us questions about my husband and I and what we wanted in a videographer. They didn't try to sell us anything more than we needed, which was the bare minimum. And they did not make us feel bad for not wanting to spend much on videography services. We hired them that night.
Days leading up to the wedding, Ana was so accommodating and on top of things. She knew things were hectic for us and yet stayed extremely patient while we tried figuring out everyone's arrival times, set up times, etc.
John and JR were punctual to the wedding and took time to look aroud the wedding site beforehand. They stayed out of our hair the entire day, only asking us questions when they needed to. They completely blended into the ceremony and reception. The thing that really showed how great these guys are is the following...
Our DJ had majorly screwed up during the entire wedding. He delayed our ceremony for 45 minutes because of technical difficulties, which pushed our entire schedule back at least an hour. Since we had only paid for John and JR to be there until around 8 or 9pm we knew they would have to leave early and miss filming a lot of reception things. At around the time they were supposed to leave, John and JR came up to us and said they would stay until the end at no extra charge, just because "they liked us and were having a good time". They knew the DJ had screwed things up and that it was out of our control. HOW AWESOME IS THAT.
Hiring Make My Day Videography was our best decision we made during the entire wedding process. They are generous, warm, and professional people. And this is coming from a gal who didn't even want a videographer in the first place.
Hire them! You won't regret it!
Make My Day Videography was wonderful! They were professional, yet very friendly! The price was perfect. I got so much more than I was expecting and the DVD's were just PERFECT!...
I hate using the word "perfect" too many times but they were fabulous. Very highly recommended!!
My husband and I were really impressed by Make My Day Videography the guys were amazing. We had so many people at the wedding comment on how they were so friendly and professional...
during the wedding and reception. Not only do they offer great prices but their quality of work is excellent .
The process was painless and the video turned out beautifully! They managed to capture the day without getting in the way and did a great job.
I can't say enough about Make My Day Videography. They did a fantastic job at my daughters wedding! Service was great, follow up was great, and very professional. They captured ...
everything from beginning to end.
I think these are the best videos I have ever seen. Pictures were great and the add music made it even more special!
I've had several comments from guests saying how amazing the videos were. They have truly created a lasting memory for our family!
I would DEFINATELY recommend Make My Day Videography!
They did an amazing job on our wedding video. We, like many couples, debated whether to get a videographer for our wedding day - and we are so glad we did, and it was absolutely wo...
rth it. We have received so many compliments on our video, and I know as we and our families grow older, we will cherish capturing the moments of that day. The video really does capture the personalities of friends and family and the feeling of our wedding day in a way that goes beyond photographs. They were completely unobtrusive - there was never a moment that they interrupted any wedding events, nor did they ever steal us away from our time with friends or family. The tone of the wedding video depicts our vision for our wedding - the video itself is modern and artistic, but covers all the essential classic wedding moments. The video conveys the modern but elegant vision that we, the bride and groom, intended for our wedding! I know as time passes and families grow, we will cherish having documented ourselves, parents, and friends at this point in our lives.
We received excellent service and all we were looking for at a resonable price. John and JR were professional, arrived early and stayed longer than they needed to just to capture ...
more footage of the reception. They did a fantastic job with the final product, especially editing the "blunders" where our DJ goofed up some songs!! Believe me, it's great to have those guys who know what they're doing behind the camera and in the editing room. Also, Ana always kept the lines of communication open which made it all very simple.
I had John at my wedding on a yacht at Newport Beach this summer. John not only arrived early and started working right away, he was very non intrusive and I could barely remember ...
that we were being filmed. The DVDs were great with lovely menu and background music. I would recommand him to any bride!
We checked out many videographers and came away thinking that this industry is the biggest rip off. Thats when I saw MakeMyDayVideography, after meeting them we deicded to go with ...
them because they seemed to really want the job and came with a movie making background. They came on time and were very friendly and professional, they met all of our needs and beyond. I would very highly recommend them, they might be cheaper than the competiton but their work is by far the best. We are every very happy with the quality of the DVD's, from the menus, video quality and especially sound quality.
Make My Day Videography gave us excellent value for the price. They were well prepared, timely, and, most important, unobtrusive. We requested only raw footage, and we received our...
DVDs within the time frame specified in the contract. The photographers captured all the important events beautifully from multiple angles. We are very pleased with the results. Highly recommended.
