Sunny and Sammy did an absolutely amazing job on our wedding videos! It was exactly what we were wanting. They were polite, friendly, fun, professional, on time, and just great to have at our wedding. I’m really happy with how everything turned out and would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding videographer.
We are so thankful to Sammy and Sunny for capturing our special day! When we were initially wedding planning, we were not sure if we would have the budget to book a videographer. However, we are beyond glad that we did and will cherish these videos forever! From our initial phone call meeting, Sammy was great about asking which special moments we wanted to capture during the wedding, which made us feel confident and comfortable with choosing Purple Mango. The day of the wedding, Sammy and Sunny were very quick to answer any of our questions and made things work even when it started to rain! We were really excited to see our 60 second highlight video (our moms LOVED it), so quickly after the wedding. We also loved reliving the day through the 6 minute video and full ceremony edit. One of our grandmothers was unable to travel to the wedding, but she was so happy to watch the full edit and said she felt like she was really there. :) Thank you again Sammy and Sunny! With Love, Holly & Connor
One word. Phenomenal. If you are in the fence about doing a wedding video - just do it!! Sammy was fantastic start to finish! We received many compliments from our guests on how professional Sammy and his brother were during the event. Watching back our feature documentary there were parts that I don’t even remember being filmed, but they were the perfect moments. 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend!! Great communication, the videos were stunning and very reasonably priced. 💜
Sammy and Sunny are THE BEST. We saw examples of their work and really liked their style. At every step of the way, they were extremely professional. We even hired them to film our rehearsal dinner. When we got the teaser video quickly after our wedding, everyone marveled at both the speed and quality. However, when we got their highlight video, all of our friends and family were blown away. There were tears of joy and lots of "this is the best video wedding video we have ever seen" from people who didn't even go to our wedding! Give Sammy and Sunny a chance to impress you.
Believe me when I say this, you need a videographer for your wedding! Everyone’s right when they say your wedding day goes by fast. I was planning my wedding out of state but Sammy was responsive and answered all the questions I had leading up to the day. Working with Purple Mango Films, you get an awesome team who's professional and punctual. They were able to naturally capture moments without being in your face with cameras and bright lights. So soon after the wedding, we received our social media teaser and highlight reel that were so fun to watch. The videos are on YouTube, making it easy to share. They also sent us a hard drive with all the raw footage and completed videos. I highly recommend working with Purple Mango Films to capture your special day!
Working with Sammy and Purple Mango was such a great experience! During planning they were super responsive and on the day they were extremely professional, friendly, and great at directing us! I'm so glad Purple Mango was part of our wedding. Our highlight reel looks like we're in a movie — but not overdone or cheesy. Beautifully shot and edited. Highly recommend them to anyone!
Sammy was very professional and helped capture our wedding day which consisted of two ceremonies and a reception. He was very flexible with such a hectic schedule and was able to capture really great footage. We have all the videos on youtube for easy sharing as well as a hard drive. He and his team worked really well with all our vendors. Would definitely recommend!
A videographer was not in my original budget or plan, but I changed my mind two months before the wedding and Sammy was very helpful and responsive from the start. Sammy and Sunny were on time, professional, worked well with our photographer, and gave the deliverables in a timely fashion. We got the 1 minute teaser a few days later, the 6 minute video a week after that, and the full documentary edit about a month later. All on YouTube ready to share and even a hardrive of the raw files. All of which we will cherish for the years to come. It’s definitely worth it! Thank you Sammy!
We’re so glad that we booked Purple Mango Films for our wedding videography! From the moment we jumped on our initial call with Sammy, we knew he was the perfect fit for us. It was evident that he was extremely experienced, professional, and kind.
Sammy and his assistant were such a joy to work with. They captured our day in the most thoughtful, creative and beautiful way. Sammy was extremely responsive and communicative leading up to the wedding day. He really took the time to ask us all the right questions, to gather all the important details about our wedding, and to understand what we truly wanted.
Sammy and his assistant were punctual, polite, and professional. Also, they worked effortlessly and efficiently with our other vendors. They really went above and beyond to make sure they captured all the important moments and helped make our day special.
We really loved everything that came with the package they offer. We also really loved the fact that we could choose the music for the videos (we are big music junkies, so this was a huge plus!) We were really surprised how quickly he finished our videos and delivered them to us.
Our whole experience with Purple Mango was seamless, joyful, and overall awesome. We can’t recommend them enough! Every time we watch our videos we are overjoyed and emotional! We will treasure these videos for the rest of our lives. Thank you Sammy and Purple Mango!
We couldn’t be happier with Purple Mango! Sammy was such delight. Super professional and creative. We were originally not planning to have video for our wedding and at the very last minute changed our minds. I am so glad that we did! Sammy was super quick to respond and made us feel comfortable in our decision. He was even quick to get us our teaser video, which was amazing! Super excited for the complete video!
Sammy and his team at Purple Mango Films were absolutely incredible. They went above and beyond to capture our wedding day. During the initial consultation Sammy showed his professionalism and expertise of the wedding industry and shared some great insights and tips. I was naive at the amount of work that goes into delivery a great experience, but Sammy made me feel comfortable understanding the nuances of it all without making me feel ignorant.
During the wedding his team made sure that everything ran smoothly. They made us feel comfortable and captured everything without being intrusive. One thing I learned is that you will speak to your photographer and videographer the most on your wedding day even more than your friends and relatives so picking the right vendors is a must. They did everything possible the day of the wedding but I was not ready for what was to come, the wedding video! They made us look like celebrities! Lastly, the price was something that we were nervous about, but they are very affordable. I can’t say enough great things of Purple Mango Films and would definitely recommend them for your wedding videographers.
Where do I even begin….I can’t recommend using Purple Mango enough. To provide some context, we weren’t going to get a videographer because most of them are extremely expensive. On top of that, we have heard many mixed reviews from our friends that have used them.
However, we heard about Purple Mango through some friends and decided to speak with the owner, Sammy. We found out Sammy had worked many weddings even though his company was new. He offered an incredibly reasonable price for capturing our special day. While we were hesitant to get a videographer, our hesitancy was put to rest on the day of our event. So, enough backstory, onto the pros and cons:
Pros:
Incredibly professional – we hired a separate photographer due to COVID circumstances ruining our original plans, Sammy worked effortlessly with our photographer, whom he had never met, to capture our day while not impeding on any pictures that were being taken. He was so professional with all of our other vendors, working seamlessly with them so that we didn’t have to take any time out of our day to accommodate vendor problems.
Easy to work with – we didn’t really have anything planned or in mind for what we wanted. Sammy would direct us when he wanted to capture something (which later turned out amazing), which I personally appreciated because I am absolutely not photogenic at all. We were so burnt out with all our other decision-making for the event that it was so helpful to have someone we trusted to tell us what we needed to do to create an amazing end product.
Experienced – It was clear Sammy knew what he was doing. We had noticed some videographers at past events can be overbearing and block guests’ views trying to capture the events as they unfold, but that was not the case with Purple Mango. On top of that, my wife and I have different cultures (she is Indian and I am white) and Sammy was able to handle the different events with ease.
Amazing work – I never thought I’d want to see so much of myself in high definition, but I was pleasantly surprised. The quality of video is unbelievable. You’re definitely getting an amazing product. Not only do you get all of the footage, but Sammy also puts together a great, short (~3 minute) highlight video that you can use to share with friends and family. It is pretty remarkable. Sammy and his team worked efficiently and put so much thought into making the videos memorable for us – from the music choice, to the coloring and small details that we never would have noticed. We immediately sent our highlight video out to all of our close friends and family and received countless messages in awe of how perfectly it captured the emotions and sentiment of the day for us. As people who never quite understood the incredibly powerful meaning that can come from a wedding video, Purple Mango changed our minds for the better in a way we never thought possible.
Cons:
We didn’t hire him for our other event. Seriously, there were no cons. I just regretted not hiring him for our other event since we had two separate events.
