Montoto Productions

The five-minute summary of our wedding weekend that Montoto created for us is perfect. I have probably watched the video over 100 times in the three months since I’ve received it (and my mom has probably watched it even more than that--haha). Every single time I watch it, I notice something I hadn’t noticed before, and every time it ends, I am grinning like a baboon. They captured the essence of those 48 hours in a way I didn’t know was possible. I also cannot recommend enough having them film the speeches at your rehearsal dinner! The special words from our loved ones threaded through our video are definitely part of what makes it so special to us. The longer “documentary” film they created is great too. Montoto Productions was extremely responsive leading up to the wedding during the planning process, and they were lovely, easy-going people to have around on our wedding day. If you are hiring a videographer, I enthusiastically recommend Montoto Productions!

I had to be talked into getting videographer. It was 6 months’ worth of work to get me to agree. Picking the videographer was much easier: Carriage Films. We just got our videos (trailer and full length) back today and they are great! I love the way they filmed and edited the whole event! The highlight video with our friends and family featured alongside us is amazing. I particularly love the way the vows were used as a voiceover – seeing all of our people so joyful while listening to our private promises to each other – it really is something special. There is something I can’t quite pin down about how they shot our wedding – but they captured so much joy in each snippet. Everything looks and feels organic – it’s truly a work of art. If you’re on the fence about whether or not to get a videographer – I’d say do it. It’s like a time capsule from a month and a half ago – but one day it’ll be a time capsule from 30 years and a month and a half ago. I can’t wait to revisit it then and see my beautiful wife and our families and friends captured as we were back then, back in October, back 6 short weeks ago 30 years from now.

Montoto was everything we could have asked for in a videographer. Stephen and Claire were professional the entire day, fitting in seamlessly with our wedding party and other vendors. They gave perfect direction without taking over control of the day to give us the most beautiful wedding video. If you are on the fence about hiring a videographer or which videographer, you will not be disappointed in Montoto or their services. Our wedding videos reflect our personalities, the fun we had on our big day, and are the best reminder of the love that was felt on our wedding day. This is hands down the best team to hire!

Hiring Stephen and his team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We absolutely loved both the short and long versions of our video, and they really knocked it out of the park with the music choices, too, based on the survey we filled out prior to our big day. The video is more than we ever hoped for and captured our day so beautifully! Unique shots and artistic details are sprinkled throughout, as well as moments that I didn’t even remember. Love the way our friends and family were also captured!

Stephen and his whole team were fantastic! Comparing my experience with other friends who had videographers in Nola... I would say hands down that Montoto is the best. Stephen and his team are definitely the ones to trust to capture your special day. They captured so many special and funny moments from our wedding that we will cherish for the rest of our marriage and lives.

Such an amazing and fun experience! So thankful to have Stephen and Claire on our wedding day!

Can not say enough great things about Montoto!! They were so fabulous and very easy to work with! They captured all of our wedding details so beautifully! We were truly blown away with our video! So happy to have been able to work with them! Will cherish our videos forever!!

Wow! We are so in love with our wedding video. Your team has done an amazing job not only capturing the events but our essence as well! I have watched the video over and over and can’t stop smiling, laughing and crying. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Ngoc and Phi

Stephen and Stephen were our videographers and they were absolutely amazing! We had a very large wedding party , so I know we were not the easiest to work with, but they were patient with us and I know captured great moments! They were filming the entire time but it was hard to even realize they were there. Would highly recommend this group to anyone on the fence. Thank you!

We are so THRILLED that we booked MONTOTO for our wedding last October! We would have to say that our experience was absolutely amazing. All individuals involved were patient, courteous, and worked with the utmost professionalism, considering we had a 12 hour day lol. We had a destination wedding in New Orleans and we wanted to capture the NOLA culture in our video So each suggestion they made was perfect and the additional footage of the surrounding areas just added nice layers to our. Watching the finished product had us and our families in tears as we reminisced on those special moments. Overall it was a A+++ experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better company to partner with. Thank you MONTOTO!

We are floored by Montoto. We are SO HAPPY. After watching the film, I bursted into tears and replayed it again and again and AGAIN. This film and documentary exceeded EVERY expectation. Knowing that one day our children will see our wedding day through this amazing video is such a blessing to us. From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank Montoto. DO NOT HESITATE to book with them. They are so professional, flexible, & kind. Jett (my husband) was the last of three to get married, and all of his sisters used Montoto for their wedding as well! We love them & CANNOT THANK THEM ENOUGH! Serenity Ashford

At the very beginning of planning my daughter’s wedding, I reached out to Steve with Montoto Productions. Steve had filmed my oldest daughter’s wedding 9 years ago and I still find myself watching the trailer along with the whole wedding! He has a gift of capturing the perfect moments and is so easy to work with. He is just the best! I can’t wait for my daughter’s wedding video and I am so confident that the beauty and fun at her wedding will be captured perfectly! You will not be disappointed :)

Montoto was such a great hire! We were so lucky to have them be a part of our big day! Super easy to communicate with and very responsive, which is crucial when planning the biggest day of your life! On the day of they made you feel extremely comfortable, which is important since many of us don’t spend our days being recorded usually. Their prices were better than most other vendors we’d looked at for videography! Would highly recommend!

Stephen and his team were a pleasure to work with and we absolutely love our wedding videos!!! The sweet 5 minute teaser is a perfect quick recap of the day and the official longer video allowed us to relive all the special moments! We could not have asked for a better experience!

Wow. I can't say enough about the Montoto team. They were an absolute delight to work with, and worth every penny. It's very apparent how much attention to detail they paid throughout the day and during the editing process. We could not be happier with the end result. I would recommend them every time.

The best decision was hiring Montoto Productions to film my wedding! They’re professional and so fun to work with! All of their videos like like trailers gor a MOVIE!!!! It gets me all in my feels! I can’t wait to see my wedding video once it’s complete! I know it’s going to be MAGIC.

I haven’t received our video back just yet, but I always know how I feel about this wonderful company. They have went above and beyond to make our video special. Their prices are more than fair for the work they put in. Book them now!

Stephen and Montoto Productions far exceeded my expectations as a wedding videographer throughout my entire wedding weekend. It started with the rehearsal dinner, with Stephen capturing all of the touching speeches from the most important people to us. On wedding day, I wanted to have the most fun vibe ever, and Stephen and his team really captured that. From karaoke while we got ready, to the wedding party dancing on the stage, to the second line and cafe du monde, they were there to capture every single special moment. 10/10 recommend.

3 words. BOOK. MONTOTO. PRODUCTIONS. I was absolutely blown away with our wedding video! They did an absolutely amazing job and were so easy and so much fun to work with. The video captured our day so beautifully! Thank you SO much to the Montoto team for your time, talent, and hard work, it definitely shows!! We’ll cherish it forever💛

I highly recommend using Montoto Productions for wedding videography. The team was very professional and never intrusive. The pricing was very reasonable. My daughter was a COVID bride with two reschedule dates. Thank you, Stephen, for all your help and correspondence during the COVID delays! You were so accommodating, and it is greatly appreciated! I can't wait to see the finished product! Amy Lewis 07-10-2021

We absolutely loved the Montoto Productions team! They were extremely attentive, professional, and kind all day. They went above and beyond to make sure they captured every special moment. And the final video brought us to tears. My wife and I HIGHLY recommend this team!!

Montoto was one of the easiest choices when selecting vendors for our wedding day. I knew we had to have them because I would tear up at ANY video of theirs, all featuring people I didn’t know! Not only is their work beautiful and heartfelt, everyone we have interacted with on the Montoto team has been such a pleasure to work with. Stephen has been so warm & welcoming since day one, always responsive to our questions and anything we needed throughout a very hectic COVID wedding planning process. Ben & Gabby filmed our wedding day, and we truly enjoyed their company! They are both so kind and made us so comfortable. We hardly knew we were being filmed. The video of our wedding day and ceremony was truly a perfect reflection of our day. In one word: amazing. It is beautifully crafted and gives me chills when I watch. We will treasure the video for years to come, I smile just thinking about it! We are incredibly excited we get to work with the Montoto team again for our reception/1-year anniversary party. All in all, they are so talented at what they do, any couple would be incredibly lucky to have them on their big day!!!

How do I give Stephen and Montoto Productions more stars??!?! They were amazing to work with throughout the whole wedding planning process. I was one of those brides who thought hiring a videographer wasn't necessary and a luxury I just couldn't afford but after talking with Stephen, I was immediately at ease and knew I couldn't pass them up. Honestly, hiring a videographer should be your top three must have vendors! I did a lot of shopping around and Montoto Productions was by far the best visually and offered the most bang for your buck. If slow motion isn't your style, Montoto Productions will be perfect for you. I liked a more natural style, which is a style they specialize in. They only used slow motion to highlight those special moments, like walking down the aisle and some first look moments, which was perfect. Gabby and Ben were our day of videographers and they were absolutely amazing and adapted to our many day of changes seamlessly. Gabby was seriously THE BEST! She was so kind and made me feel beautiful! The video took about 5 months to get back to us. Waiting was the hardest part (lol) but it was soooo worth the wait! Book Montoto Productions... you'll be glad you did!

If we could give Montoto Productions more than 5 stars, we would. Gabby and Stephen had amazing personalities that made us feel comfortable being videoed. We watched so many videography videos, but Montoto Productions had that special look we were looking for. We cannot thank Gabby and Stephen enough for being so amazing and capturing our special day!!! Hands down would be our recommendation for videography!!!

The Montoto team is top notch in every way - quick response times, clear and efficient communication, and the most encouraging and talented team! We felt completely understood by them and like they really got "us", which made me so confident in the footage we would receive of our wedding day. We are so pleased with our final videos! Gabby was an absolute joy to work with and felt like a wedding guest we've always known! Her creative vision was clear and she was full of ideas to help us capture the raw emotions of the day. Stephen is so responsive and professional. Cannot recommend working with Montoto enough!

I decided at the last minute that I wanted a videographer for our wedding. I searched on wedding websites and immediately knew I wanted Montoto Productions. I was so happy that they were available for our date on such short notice. Stephen was so professional and assured me that our videographer needs would be in good hands. Our wedding day was so perfect and Stephen and Ben made sure to get footage of everything I asked for. I am so happy I hired Montoto Productions and I cannot wait to see our wedding footage.

I so enjoyed working with Montoto Productions! They were so easy to work with throughout the entire process and got quality shots throughout the day without being too intrusive. I was a COVID bride, and our wedding was extremely different from how we initially planned. But it was the most perfect day and Montoto captured that. I was worried that the wedding trailer and video would feel like they were lacking without the fun dancing and music shots, but it truly didn't. All of the special, intimate moments throughout the day were perfectly captured and highlighted and are going to be so special to look back on for years to come.

HANDS DOWN AMAZINGGG!!! The best videographer group to work with! They made it super easy, not stressful at all! They were so awesome to work with!

Montoto did a phenomenal job on our wedding video -- we honestly could not have been happier. They captured all of the best highlights of our wedding day and did a brilliant job of conveying the feelings of the day. Many of our friends and family told us they watched our video over and over because they loved it so much! Additionally, on our actual wedding day, the Montoto team were so sweet to work with! They were kind and fun and helpful in ways that were not at all in their job description, which is just a testament to the great character of the team. If you are looking for a wedding videographer, put your trust in the Montoto team and you will not be disappointed! We will treasure our video forever.

We are absolutely in love with our wedding video! It is everything I could have ever dreamed of and so much more! I have been having montoto picked out as my wedding videographer since 2016 while helping a friend plan her wedding, long before I was engaged and they certainly did not disappoint. We will cherish this video forever and couldn’t thank them enough. They have captured one of the best day of our lives absolutely perfectly. So much talent with this group. Gabby was so sweet and I honestly couldn’t imagine my wedding day without her. Couldn’t recommend enough!

The first time we watched our highlight video I got more emotional than I ever could've imagined. I happy cried through the whole thing. It's just beautifully done and I love it so much! I am extremely thankful we booked this crew! Everyone from the owner, to the videographers and editors are genuinely nice and amazing at what they do. I am especially grateful to be able to relive our ceremony, dances, and speeches. Thank you again for capturing these memories!

Montoto Productions went above and beyond all expectations that we had of capturing our Wedding Day! Each one of them is so friendly and easy to work with! Every detail of the video was perfect and every single thing that I had asked to include was there plus so much more!! I appreciate that they really valued my vision and brought it to life. My husband and I along with our families will cherish this video forever. I cannot recommend this company enough to any brides that are searching!

We are so happy with our wedding video and the moments captured. There's such artistic details in what Stephen and his team put together. We had an Indian and Persian wedding and they captured everything despite the long 15 hour day on Saturday!! They came in on wedding day and navigated around the hotel room and created these amazing visuals! Most of my family cried happy tears when the video came back. Would recommend Montoto Productions over and over!!!

Montoto Productions was everything and more that we could have asked for when searing for a wedding videographer! They were so easy to communicate with prior to the wedding, made sure to get all of the little details that we wanted captured on the big day, and made our special day stress free! We are in awe of our wedding video and are so thankful to have had such an amazing team of people to be there for us. Montoto is definitely the best, if you haven’t found someone for your big day yet, I highly recommend them!

Where do I start? From the initial meeting with Steve to wedding day to after, all of our encounters have been top notch. On wedding day, Gabby and Ben were on top of everything. They had a plan for every minute and kept all of us organized. I knew we wouldn’t be missing a single second of footage, which is always a worry on your wedding day. We have kept in touch with our videographers as we became friends with them due to their straight kindness and contagious personalities. We got our trailer video back and we have watched it about 100 times just today! There wasn’t a single second that I would change. Montoto Productions is a team of pros and are the absolute best in the business. We even got our video back in a timely fashion in the middle of a global pandemic. That’s impressive. Do yourself a favor and hire them! You will NOT regret it.

This review is LONG overdue as I submit this review on our 1 year anniversary, but Montoto Productions is the BEST videographer you can buy! Look no further. WE absolutely knew we had to have a wedding video, and I'm so thankful our amazing Wedding Planner, Becky, at Spanish Oak Events recommended Montoto. Absolutely professional, my husband and I are both a bit camera shy and you never even knew they were there! When our teaser was released, immediate tears and such high quality. And the other amazing thing is your video is available on a cloud service for LIFE so no need to worry about personal storage for years to come! This is what actually reminded me to leave a review - went to all our vendor sites to make sure I downloaded all our photos/videos, and forgot that one little detail. It sure takes the pain out of moving files around and waiting hours to download. Thank you again Stephen and team! We will cherish these memories forever and are so thankful to have them for our future kids as well.

Montoto is SO TALENTED!! They captured our day so perfectly, and now we can relive the best day of our lives over and over again. We have watched our five minute short film probably 200 times. They picked the best music, too. They are super queer-affirming and they made us feel so celebrated and so loved. We can't recommend them enough! XOXO, Carmen & Chelsey

They were amazing! My husband and I cried watching our video because it was everything we ever imagined. So amazing!

Do yourself a favor and look no further for your wedding videographer! I don’t even know where to begin to share how incredibly thankful I am to Montoto. They were literally the first vendor I booked once I got engaged. Montoto’s entire team is talented, professional, easy going and fun to work with. Gabby and Ben worked together to film for our wedding day and all communication was through Stephen. Everything went completely flawlessly and they are by far the best investment toward our wedding.

Wow. Montoto exceeded all my expectations of what a videographer could deliver. The day of our wedding we were allotted two true professionals who discretely covered all aspects of our wedding. They were expertly adept at capturing small, intimate moments which made their final product magnificent. In addition to their professionalism, both videographers were kind and accommodating. They made the day so enjoyable + fun; their warm personalities provided comfort on what can be a whirlwind of a day. For those of you who are considering potentially not hiring a videographer: DO IT, AND CHOOSE MONTOTO. You will not regret it. The beautiful memories they were able to capture are worth every single penny.

Stephen and his team were an excellent choice for my wedding day! Stephen and Ben arrived early on my wedding day and made us feel at ease the whole time. They were not a distraction in any way and were super professional and friendly. They worked wonderfully with my photographer whom they had not met before and it was as if the 3 of them were one team! My wedding video exceeded my expectations in every way. They captured the essence of the day so wonderfully and everyone I shared the video with have spoken so highly of the production value. Many have shared that they have seen the video over and over again- it does not get old! If you're considering Montoto productions, please don't look elsewhere as this is money well spent! I am glad I chose Montoto to film my wedding day.

I absolutely loved how friendly Stephen and the whole staff was. They were super organized and sent out timeline surveys prior to the wedding to make sure they had all the information they needed to make your day unique to you. They sent me a tips/tricks on day of to me and a pick me up email which to me, days before the wedding was the most sweetest thing from a vendor ever. When they arrived the day of, Stephen immediately came to me and introduced himself and went to work and did what he needed to do. Communication during this wedding planning process was everything to me and being OCD, Stephen was the absolute best to work with. We got the cinema weekend package, but due to my husband being Vietnamese and me being Korean, we added in our traditional ceremonies so our wedding day was about 18 hours. Stephen and his staff were there from beginning to end and I so so so thank all of them so much. They were courteous, friendly, communicative, and all around great. I can’t wait to see the video of our wedding and I already know it’s going to be the most amazing video ever!! It was truly a pleasure working with the whole team!!

We absolutely loved working with Montonto productions!! They were referred to us by a friend at the beginning of our wedding planning and they were one of the first vendors we picked. After speaking to Stephen, we knew they would do a great job at capturing all the important moments throughout our wedding weekend. They were very easy to work with and were very flexible despite having multiple locations and multiple days of events. They also coordinated with our photographer to be on the same page for all the events. When it came to our actual wedding weekend, they went above and beyond! They were able to capture every important moment at all our events and even helped out with some technical issues during the wedding and reception. They made us feel comfortable throughout the weekend and were just great friendly faces to have around. We just received our wedding highlight video and it turned out amazing! The cinematography is perfect and we can’t stop watching it. Stephen and his team are incredible and we are so happy they were such a big part of our wedding. If you’re looking for the perfect team to capture all the perfect moments of your big day, Montoto productions is the first place to look!

Some of the best and nicest people to work with! My wife and I would Highly recommend Montoto Productions for anyone wanting/thinking about a videographer. Stephen and his team do a phenomenal job of capturing the moment!
