10/10, 5 stars, exceeds expectations, I could go on but I think you all get the idea. As you can see from all the other 5 star reviews it is clear that you need to run not walk to ...
book Monica and her husband David to film your wedding. My only regret is that we didn't meet them sooner in our wedding planning process. She walked us through every step of the process asking very thoughtful questions to better get to know us as a couple. Both of us are very camera shy and I would have never known they were even filming. We will cherish our wedding video and are so glad we made the decision to book them last minute. When Monica says you are friends for life she really means it.
MLV is exceptional! We love working with Monica and David. They are so fun and professional, and they make taking beautiful, authentic photos so easy and effortless. Highly recomme...
nd to anyone who wants to have beautiful moments captured to be treasured for a lifetime!
I cannot say enough good things about MLV videography! My husband and I reached out to Monica to do our engagement photos last year and our experience was so amazing that when we s...
at down and decided to invest in a videographer for our wedding, it didn’t take much consideration to know that we fully trusted Monica and David to film the most treasured day of our lives. Absolutely ZERO regrets, they are so talented and creative, I wouldn’t change a single detail they put together for us. Our videos are so amazing, I am forever grateful to have all of our favorite memories from our wedding day filmed and composed into videos that we get to watch for all our years to come. I would recommend their business 1000000 times over and over. We are so pleased with every detail from the first contact to the last!
We feel so fortunate to have MLV with us on our wedding day. Working with Monica and David was an absolute joy during the entire process.
MLV produced an amazing wedding video tha...
t perfectly captured our day, and we've watched it literally hundreds of times. Just the video would be reason enough for 5 stars. However, aside from that, Monica and David were incredible vendors on the day of the wedding. They were both such a calming presence for us, and they gracefully dealt with all the different vendor personalities over the course of the day. The two of them felt like "the glue" for our vendors that day, and went completely above and beyond to help coordinate when things didn't go perfectly as planned. We're super thankful to them!!
We can't recommend MLV Videography enough. Not only will you have a perfect wedding video, but you'll also have the opportunity to work with two incredible human beings in Monica and David! Thanks again!
You can't go wrong with Monica & David. They were so relaxing to be around on wedding day and created the most beautiful wedding video for everyone to re-watch over and over again...
. Highly recommend MLV!
This Review is long overdue. Our Wedding was Nov. 2021, and here I am almost 1 year later going to watch our videos and order a Anniversary gift for my Husband and GUESS what, I ca...
nt find my videos on my computer anywhere. I panicked, of course. Reached out to Monica- within minutes she replied kind as ever and is sending all our videos over to me again.
I found Monica and David on Instagram, if you don't follow them i highly recommended checking out the videos on there! They truly made our Wedding Day, they were warm, professional, and made us the best Videos we have ever seen. Monica kept me in the loop with timelines after our day, never had me questioning when our videos would arrive and she was always on time with the dates she set. Their work is simply magical. If you hire them for your wedding, I promise you wont be disappointed and you will be gaining friends for a lifetime.
Monica and David were one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding! Throughout the entire process from initiating with them all the way through receiving our final videos...
, Monica was extremely communicative, always transparent, and just genuinely so kind and supportive in helping us in advance of and during our big day. It was important for us to have a videographer who worked well alongside our photographer, and Monica and David were seamless in the way they paired and collaborated with all our other vendors! They captured all of our most special moments throughout the day and did it so smoothly along with the flow of our wedding day. They mixed being extremely professional with a kindness and casualness that kept us at ease through our entire interaction with them. We couldn't be happier to have the amazing memories they provided us, and would absolutely recommend them for any wedding or other event. Thank you so much, Monica and David!
Finding the right videographer for your wedding is hard. Let me make it easy, if you’re in the Bay Area…book this incredible team. While starting to interview videographers, we tru...
ly didn’t know what we were looking for…until we connected with Monica and David. It became very clear that these two take their job seriously and recognize that bringing important details to life through film is what makes the craft. Both were super easy to work with and understood how to be firm, but respectful when trying get the perfect shot. Monica’s attention to detail is second to none and I cannot wait to see the final product, I already know it will capture our big day perfectly.
There are hardly words to describe how incredible it was to work with Monica and MLV videography. At the first discovery call when she asked us what we love about each other, we w...
ere taken back by the sincerity and integrity and knew we were in good hands. But wow, we didn't know just how good. During our wedding weekend, they were the most professional, respectful, and amazing video ninjas we could have asked for. They were everywhere they needed to be, catching every little moment, and were hardly detectable in doing so. When we finally watched out teaser clip, we had chills. When we got to see the final work, we were in tears. It was not just a wedding video but cinematic magic. They got totally got us. It felt like we had a Hollywood short film produced about our love and it touched the deepest parts of us. They got everything right - all the moments, people, and our vibe. They were so kind, communicative, and professional at every step of the process. My only regret is not commissioning a trilogy! Ha. Look no further, you've found your videographers. They deliver big time.
Monica and David emphasized creating a video that incorporates all the unique, meaningful, and most anticipated moments of your day. Monica is extremely friendly and communicative,...
especially with any questions or last-minute changes you might have. Both Monica and David are so kind and friendly. Every time I saw either of them throughout our wedding day, they were smiling or laughing. You can tell they are very passionate about their work and enjoy working together. They are genuinely your cheerleaders throughout the day and have valuable tips and advice throughout the planning process. We have loved watching the videos they have created for other couples and find how Monica and David tell love stories so inspiring! While we have not yet seen our wedding video, we are so excited and thrilled that we hired MLV videography and would highly recommend them to friends and family. We can’t wait to see our video!
Where do I even begin with this dynamic duo?! From the very beginning they were just so personable, made you feel like they knew you for years! Their love and passion for what they...
do seeps through every ounce of them. We had such an amazing day and it wouldn’t have been the same without Monica & David. They exceeded our expectations and every time we watch our wedding video it has us in tears. Such great people to work with and be around! We found a forever friendship with them! They’re stuck with us, we’re family now.
My family had an amazing experience with MLV Videography. Monica was referred to me by a friend and I couldn't be more happy with her professionalism and amazing photographs. I ...
will certainly be contacting her again.

n the lead up to the wedding, their attention to detail guarantees a seamless wedding day. Their wedding films truly capture the magic and beauty of the wedding day with no detail too small missed. I can highly recommend them.
I am a wedding planner and floral designer. My son and daughter in love were getting married finally after a delay because of the scary time during covid 19. I chose MLV (Monica &...
David) for a couple of reasons. Beautiful Videography, Professionalism, and genuine kindness. Being that I am in the industry, I am very particular in the area of weddings and events. Since it was my son and daughter in love...this was really a decision that had to be right!! We are all so happy that they were part of our intimate family wedding and now consider them part of the family!!!! Thank you Monica and David from the bottom of our hearts!!!
Monica went above and beyond to make sure our engagement went off smoothly.
on top of that - she communicated very clearly on when the video and photos would be available (super ...

for photography! They are up for anything and everything, and make you feel so comfortable (especially if it’s your first professional shoot). Monica was so helpful in the months leading up to our engagement shoot and always offering to help with anything wedding related! We are so excited to work with them again at our upcoming wedding in September this year, and will be even more excited to see our forever gorgeous photos! We love you guys ❤️
I love MLV ! They did a beautiful job with our engagement photos. My fiancé and I felt very comfortable, happy and relaxed during our session. The photos captured our relationship ...
perfectly and we can’t wait for our wedding session.
They are so kind and you can just tell they are so passionate about what they do.
This review for our wedding in June is long overdue. Long story short, MLV was amazing from start to finish! Monica and David were both extremely friendly and helpful throughout th...
e entire process, taking the time to get to know us and what we were looking for. You could just tell that they had everything together (definitely more so than we did ourselves for the wedding), keeping us on track, sending us questionnaires, and confirming the day-of schedule in advance. On the big day, they did a great job of letting us enjoy our time with friends and family while also capturing the fleeting moments beautifully and working seamlessly with our other vendors. We are both quite camera shy and don’t have experience being filmed, and they did a fantastic job of making us feel comfortable and giving pointers to ensure the shots came out great. When we finally got to watch our video, it brought us to tears. Even the USB drive they sent our video file in was beautiful.
We can’t recommend MLV enough — thank you Monica & David, for helping us live and relive our wedding day in the most beautiful way possible!
Monica is great to work with! I am just in the beginning stages of planning but she has made everything super easy and I can't wait to work with her on my wedding day! :)

help us choose the right package for us. They are easy to be around, so professional, and day of our wedding they were helpful in giving us some direction and suggestions to get good shots.

it so easy. We were thinking we might only get a couple good shots because we've never taken professional photos before and the location didn't have much to work with at the time but when we received our pictures back we were so pleasantly surprised. The photos were beautifully edited and you could feel the love through the photos. They were also very accommodating with our short timeline and made it work. 10/10 would recommend
MLV Videography provided the utmost in professional and courteous services from the planning phase, the wedding and reception, to the final product! They filmed my daughter's wedd...
ing in Nov 2017. I absolutely love love love what they put together more than any words could ever express. Their work successfully captured the beauty, love and essence of the special day that shared by everyone at the event. Most wedding videos are boring and just compile interviews and unnecessary commentary. Their choice of how and what they film was just outstanding. True too, their editing expertise in this field is just magical. Our original plan was not to have a videographer, but then I saw an example of her work and was just blown away. In fact, this summer I am hiring them again to film my daughter’s wedding in Olympia, Washington.
Monica and David did the photography and videography for our wedding in Los Gatos, CA and they were absolutely amazing! They worked very well with all of the wedding party, took p...
ictures in various locations and positions to capture the best moments, and our video was incredible! We had such a great time working with them - and have great memories too look back on thanks to them!

l go to the next level, using their skills and equipment to capture your day from a really unique perspective. Both Monica and David are talented and have a clear vision in mind. They are also polite and connective when working with clients. I definitely recommend working with them!
Monica and David are phenomenal! I can’t express how much I love them. Their work is amazing. I met Monica through my sister in law. She did the videography for my brothers wedding...
. I was beyond blown away when I saw the highlight film from their wedding, I knew right away I needed her for my wedding. They know exactly how to capture each and every moment and the way she puts the film together is perfect. I am obsessed with our wedding film and I can’t stop watching. If you are looking to capture every moment from your wedding with high quality choose MLV Videography. I swear by them. Not only are they amazing to work with, but they are the two sweetest and beautiful couple. Highly highly recommended!!
Monica and David were the cherry on top of our wedding. We were on the fence to get a videographer but it was hands down the best decision we made. The footage they captured and vi...
deo they created is perfection. Almost 2 years later and we still watch it all the time.
From our initial emails, to our in person meetings, day of and follow up after the big day were friendly, patient professional, and amazing. They showed up early to both of our locations, where I was getting ready, and where my husband was. They also stayed late to make sure they captured some fun dancing shots. We had no idea what to expect, but they blew any expectations out of the water and delivered is a product better than we could have ever imagined.
If you are looking for someone to create a memory that will last a lifetime look no further, you will not regret hiring these two. They took our once in a lifetime experience and captured our day in a way that we can relive forever and show our children. We will cherish this video forever.
Thank you again Monica and David!

Thinking hiring a wedding videographer for your wedding day.... do it! It is honestly one of my favorite things from that day, mostly because the day of your wedding goes soooo fa...
st it’s hard to remember the little things, the look on his face when you walk down the aisle, My babies covering their eyes as we kissed as husband and wife for the first time and now the voice of my late brother as he gave me away to my husband. I will forever be able to cherish my wedding video MLV put together for us.
From beginning to end working with MLV was so easy. They were able to listen to what we wanted and made it even more than that. It was clear they took the time to go out to the venue and find the best shots in preparation for the big day. Every moment I wanted to capture was there and I find myself brought to tears each time I watch the video.
A huge thank you to Monica and David of MLV Videography for being the most awesome ever and providing me with a video that will be cherished always!
