If I could give a zero star review I would. A word of advice for any future couples out there... do not book Hector unless you know for sure that you are going to have your wedding or dont pay this man in full. With these uncertain times, I wanted to protect my family members and vendors by canceling my wedding because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Every one of my vendors was very understanding and provided me a refund for the services not provided within at most 72 hrs of them being informed of the cancelation. I had informed Hector in July 2020 that I will be canceling my wedding for September 2020, he said I will need to sign a termination contract....Cool, no problem! I waited months for the contract and repeatedly sent multiple emails for it. I sent a final email stating a demand for payment at the end of October 2020, because at this point what is the point of a termination contract if the event has passed, right? Well, termination contract is signed as of October 22, 2020 and still no refund. Hector is very unreliable and very difficult to get a hold of. Honestly, he is only easy to get ahold of when you're going to pay him money. There is no phone number online that is able to reach him either. The phone number that he provided to us is never answered. I've left comments on his Instagram account asking for him to contact me and he immediately deactivated his accounts right after.
I have so many great things to say about Milan Pepper Films but i’ll start with their team is incredible!! Let me tell you why…
I reached out with a very odd request. It wasn’t to have them film my wedding but to re-create my wedding video with the (not so raw) footage I had. A challenge at best but they gladly agreed.
The original wedding video we received was missing a lot of the wedding day. Important moments were left out of the video, no ceremony or reception coverage etc. I really wanted a video that would cover our entire wedding day. I had an idea in mind on what I hoped the new video would turn out like… let me tell you THEY SURPASSED all my expectations!!
After my new video was delivered I instantly felt like I was brought back to my wedding day. It was put together so beautifully, better than I could’ve ever wished for. I was blown away by how they were able to take the raw footage and story together our day from their point of view as editors.
I am so thankful to have this new beautiful video that I will watch for years to come, show to my future kids one day and watch on every anniversary.
Thank you Milan Pepper Films for making my wedding video dreams come true. You are true artists and any bride will be so very lucky to have your team film their wedding day.
With Appreciation,
Darian and Daniel
Hector & his team were amazing!
I am so happy how our wedding video came out I cry every time I watch. Everything about it was perfect.
He is very professional & would ALWAYS respond when I had any questions. Was on time day of & got our wedding video within the time frame he put in the contract.
My husband and I are so lucky to found him and would totally recommend him to anyone looking for a videographer.
Hector did such a phenomenal job capturing the emotion of our wedding! Just watching our highlight reel, I was brought back to each moment and couldn't help but smile. He was so great to work with and made sure we got every video that we wanted to include. The videos are so well edited and look more like mini movies! Thank you so much Hector!
Truly, I do not know where to begin. Hector is awesome! He communicates well and is willing to customize a package to meet your needs. He is professional, kind, and extremely talented! His work is beautiful!! He is definitely the person/company to use to forever keep the memory of your special day or event going! Thank You Hector for your talent, kindness and professionalism!
Hector and his team, Victor and John did an amazing job on our wedding video! The Milan Pepper Films team was so flexible with budget and made the vision I had for our video a reality. I wish I could get married again just to have another video! Thank you for your effort, for your attention to detail, for your fun edits, and most of all, for giving me the opportunity to relive the most important day of my life over and over again.
I have so much to share about the experience I had with Milan Pepper Films. I was looking for a videographer everywhere that would be affordable for my wedding, and could not find anything within our budget. I was giving up until I came across the Milan Pepper Film ad on Facebook. I decided to give the hunt one last try, and the prices were truly so affordable that it made me question what the quality of the work would be. I read all of the reviews and saw nothing but positive ones, so I decided to book them. I have to say it was the best decision I made, and I feel like indebted with them for the amazing quality and professionalism of the work I received.
Hector is one of the most professional vendors I worked with. He was accessible, responsive, great to communicate with, and so easy to work with. Him and his team are true artists. I had the privilege of having John and Mikey take the video footage on my wedding day, and they captured every perfect moment. They were punctual in arriving on time to every site necessary, and they were professional from beginning to end. Towards the end of the night it rained and I had an outdoor venue, but that did not stop them!
I waited a couple months for my video, but that was okay with me because all I wished for was the perfect highlight film and footage, which is nothing less than what I received. Worth the wait!
Thank you so much Milan Pepper Films for the amazing experience! This will not be the last time I or my family and friends will book you.
Hector and his team are absolutely amazing. Hector has been extremely responsive to all of my questions along the way and a complete delight to work with. At the wedding, he was so professional and fun to interact with. The videos he creates are truly a labor of love. He cares about capturing the moments you want to keep for the rest of your life. I can truly say booking Hector will be one of the best decisions you’ve ever made, hands down.
Where to start..
My experience with Hector and Milan Pepper Films has been Night and Day. We first contacted Hector to discuss videography for my March 2019 wedding. He was the only person we discussed our visions with and we felt confident about our decision. Few months later, we contacted him again and this time we would trust him with our engagement shoot. Fast forward to our wedding day and the miserable months after. Our special day came and I was so excited for the filming of our wedding! Sadly, there was no passion and no enthusiasm that radiated from him. I felt extremely let down and not special at all. I felt like another number especially when it came to the editing and delivery of our wedding video. Our contract clearly stated the delivery would be in 55 business days. I understand it takes a while to edit and sometimes delays can happen, but I couldn't believe it took 80+ days for us to finally see our 5+ minute highlight video! What's worse is the lack of responsiveness and professionalism we encountered! My husband and I had sent him countless texts/emails/and phone calls with no response. NOTHING! And I will be clear when I say all were extremely polite and even tried to be understanding, but it the wait was unbearable. I became extremely depressed and anxiety ridden not knowing if we would ever hear from him or ever see our video. My husband finally decided Facebook messenger would surely help. He got a call back from him saying he had been out of the country filming and he would call him back. Did he? NO. My husband sent a final email, but this time informing him that he and I would start the process of taking legal action, although this wouldn't resolve anything because no amount could ever equal the value of our memories. And guess what? We got an email back. Not from Hector, but his Customer Service Rep. She apologized and assured my husband we'd have it in 2 weeks. She also mentioned this at Hector no longer does video editing, but focuses on the filming. I was fuming! At no point in time was his ever mentioned to us or disclosed. He was the only person we spoke to about our vision and at that point the only person we trusted to execute it. So not only have we been waiting 80+ days, but now we learned he wasn't even doing the job! Now 2 weeks pass after that email and nothing. I email her myself and let her know how unprofessional this whole ordeal has been and how heartbreaking it has been for me as a bride. She then says they have had such a busy summer and they would rather send quality work than just anything. So, just another number. Three weeks after that email, we finally get our video. Am I thrilled? Of course. Am I impressed? NO. Sadly, I may have expected a little too much from Hector and his company because what we received doesn't come close to the vision we had and discussed with Hector. At this point, my husband and I were just happy to receive clips of our families who had traveled near and far to be with us that day. He and I had referred couples to him and I have called each and every one to warn them about him and his services. One couple wasn't so lucky and had already booked and paid. I wish I was writing a raving review, but I have to be 100% honest.
Let’s keep this to the point and I would have to say Milan pepper films was one of the best vendors for my wedding. They are professional, punctual, accommodating, and creative! I love the short film they put together for me and they definitely exceeded my expectations!
My fiancé and I booked our engagement shoot and wedding with Hector Mejia and we’ve had a very pleasant experience! He’s been very professional and he’s been so nice. He’s worked with me when I was hesitant because of hearing horror stories of working with venders that aren’t local, he made me feel comfortable and he made it so easy for us and he was willing to drive out to the location of our preference for our engagement shoot which was like 4 hr drive for him. I’m excited to continue working with him for my wedding and hope to have the same great experience.
Our wedding video is absolutely amazing!! Hector conducted hisself with professionalism from the first meeting and carried it through all interactions that followed. He kept communication open and took our vision into account when beginning the editing process. He was truly a pleasure to work with and the way he captured our love in motion left me in tears! Thanks Hector for making us smile all over again today, tomorrow, and throughout our forever!
Hector and his team are exactly the kind of people who everyone hopes to book for their wedding. Talented, kind, flexible and professional. The shots were beautiful and the memories that they captured were exactly what I was hoping for. They used a steadicam rig and two cameras on tripods which was even more than I was expecting! The edited short film of our day was stunning. It was obvious to me (as a filmmaker myself) that a lot of time went into it, but with Hector's professionalism he makes it seem easy! We got married in Big Bear and they drove all the way up to us to film our day which we were so grateful for. On a personal note, Hector has been so kind to us throughout this process. Offering advice and support to me on the day even though I personally am super nervous to be on camera! He made it fun and personal. Thank you, Hector!
Hector was amazing to work with since we met him. Hector and his team are very professional and we were very pleased with our video. It’s something we will cherish forever. Thank you again Hector documenting our special day!!!
I simply cannot put into words how grateful I am to Hector and his team. They exceeded our high expectations, they were not only professional but warm and kind and they felt like family at our wedding. Of all the things we decided on for our wedding hands down Hector was the best decision we made! I recommend them anyone. Thank you so much Hector.
Hector and his team are amazing. If you are looking for quality affordable video, definitely go for Milan Pepper. They were able to capture the highlights of the day and they'll definitely go the extra mile for you. Can't wait for our DVD to arrive!! Thank you Hector!
My husband and I came across Milan Pepper Films through Google. We have to say this was the best choice and investment we made. Hector and his team are truly amazing. We had an engagement shoot with Hector and Iris, and they were so attentive and patient. I was having issues with my dress and they just guided me throughout the shoot. The pictures and the film for the engagement came out amazing. During our wedding day the crew was very punctual and truly amazing. We just received our videos and pictures. My husband and I were blown away with how great they were. While watching our videos we felt like we were reliving our wedding day and we cried all over again. Milan Pepper Films is a vendor you must contract for your wedding!
I cannot begin to talk about Hector and the entire Milan Pepper Films team. I recently hired them to film my wedding in Orange, CA and our film came out amazing. Not only did Hector and his team capture our best moments, but he was able to do so with the best audio. Me and my fiancé had our first look, and in the film you can hear everything we said. We couldn’t believe that we were able to hear what our words were from our first time seeing each other. We are so happy and thankful that Hector was able to capture these moments for us to remember forever! I will definitely be telling all my friends about Hector & Milan Pepper Films!
Hector was amazing! Amazing shots! He was really patient with us and was so kind to work on the time we scheduled (5:30am). Open to any suggestions! Would highly recommend him!
Hector is an amazing individual with a strong work ethic and great personality. He recently took our engagement and they look amazing, we couldn't be happier. Hector will be doing our wedding video this October in Nuevo Vallarta, MX. We’re excited to see the final product because we know the caliber of works he generates.
Recommend Hector for your next event. He will delivery quality to the fullest.
Amazing work. Hector did an exceptional job with my nieces wedding. He is very detailed in the work he produces. He is easy to work with and takes the time to really capture all of the special moments. We are extremely satisfied with his work and grateful to have such a special memory. I highly recommend him
Milan Pepper films were fantastic. Not only is their pricing affordable, but the quality and professionalism of their finished products and their cinematographers were wonderful and satisfactory. When I finally got to see my film, it was more than I had ever hoped for. Definitely will be recommending them to friends and family!
Two thumbs way, way up!!
My wife and I are extremely happy with the quality of work and the show of professionalism Milan Pepper Films conveyed on our special day. Hector and Alex both showed kindness and understanding while they contributed their talent to our wedding day. Not only will I be using them again, but will be speaking highly of them to all. Great work! Great talent! Eye for detail! Simply WOW factor every time.
Beyond satisfied and excited about all the work Hector and his team have done. They are extremely professional with all business aspects and perform the job flawlessly under their own direction. It was an absolute pleasure working with them. Hector has a great attitude which is friendly and focused on his craft. His personality made it very easy to work with, and I believe allowed for creative opportunities leading to another worthy masterpiece. All of our family and friends cannot stop commenting on how amazing the highlight video is. The shots, framing, and editing combined with the fun, exciting energy of the celebration made the perfect movie. He flawlessly incorporated all our requests as well as perfectly highlighted our personalities and taste in music. The quality of the video can clearly be determined after watching it the first time, and made everyone we know watch it over and over again. It was an absolute pleasure working with Hector and his team. I highly encourage anyone seeking a creative, innovative, and professional videographer to contact him. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. Thank you for capturing our special day. We could not have envisioned the final product any better than what we experienced. Much love to Milan Pepper Films!!
Wow!!! I recently hired Hector Mejia for my weddding, & it turned out amazing! Hector not only captured the best moments; he captured a story that will be saved for our kids and grandkids to live. His detailed work and professionalism has exceeded our expectations and I definitely needed to recommend his work so that your SPECIAL day is sealed like ours. Thank you again Hector for the awesome work that you have provided for us!!!! #professionalism #dedication #love
Working with Hector was amazing! He was kind, professional, and his work was top notch. We cant wait to see the video, and look forward to working with Milan Pepper Films again soon.
To be honest, I was hesitant at first because of the price. I thought to myself this might be too good to be true. But aren't I glad I went with my gut and booked Milan Pepper Films! The team was friendly, professional, and was overall a much better experience than what I paid for! Most importantly (to me), my wedding highlight came out amazing! The full ceremony edits and the first dance edits were more than I imagined! It really captured the life in those moments that I can now cherish forever. I couldn't be happier to recommend Hector, the owner, and the rest of the team at Milan Pepper Films!
Hector and the Milan Pepper Films team were all AMAZING to work with! From the booking process to the delivery of the film. Hector was very responsive via email and answered all my questions and concerns. One the wedding day, Hector and the team showed up early and looking professional making sure they all blended in with the guests. He worked well with all our vendors, especially our photographer.
After the wedding, they delivered an Instagram teaser within a few days!! I was speechless. Even though it was only a minute long, I kept watching it over and over and over again. I couldn't get enough and couldn't wait to see the rest of our wedding footage.
After only 2 weeks, Hector delivered all our footage + highlight video. I didn't think it could get any better after watching the teaser, but I was wrong. The highlight video was even better and everything that I wanted!
I am beyond satisfied and lucky to have Hector and his team capture one of the most important days of my life. I will continue referring them to all my friends and family.
Thank you for your amazing work and professionalism. You have a fan for life!
