Mason of Anchor Pictures was a downright pleasure to work with - knowledgeable, direct, and kind. From the initial call and planning session, through to day-of execution, Mason listened to us and delivered our vision while layering on considerable professional expertise. Mason walked the perfect line of capturing our day while remaining unobtrusive during the festivities. The highlight video specifically left us absolutely speechless, and we are so happy that we will have it as a keepsake to remember our wedding day for years to come. We highly, highly recommend Mason & Anchor Pictures
I am writing this review wayyyy too late (a little over 2 years after my wedding) and it has been eating me away inside because I need to give Mason(aka Anchor Pictures) all the praise they deserve. As a wedding planner myself, I had worked with Mason and Savannah previously and found them to be so sweet and easy to work with as well as extremely professional.
I knew that when I got married they would be at the top of my list for videography and I was so glad they were available! My husband still talks about how absolutely sweet and helpful Mason was on the day of our wedding, assisting him in getting his bow tie on when no one else knew how. He worked perfectly with our photographer team and even when we ran slightly behind schedule due to hair and makeup, he was on it with getting all the shots needed quickly so we could get back on track.
The videos themselves I could watch on repeat constantly, every day, for the rest of my life. I still cry watching the full video and cannot stop smiling when I watch the teaser and full 8 minute cut. The drone shots, the details, all cut together seamlessly with our music and clips of the ceremony and speeches. Mason’s work is beautiful, the camerawork and shots are breathtaking and made my humble backyard wedding look like a high budget royal wedding video. I love it sooooo much and am forever grateful that we will one day be able to watch this video with our children as well as show other family members who were not able to make it that day. Thank you SO much Anchor Pictures, I cannot recommend them enough!
If you’re on the fence about photo and video for your next event, commit to Mason and Savannah. We had their photo and video package for our wedding (there is a discount for booking both, too!) and we could not be happier with our choice. We checked out their photo and video galleries on their website, and then got in touch with Mason. After speaking with him, we knew we were in good hands. Anchor Pictures provides a comprehensive list of footage and photos at a very reasonable price. Mason was responsive and patient as we asked questions, and made the booking process quick and easy.
As we got closer to the wedding, Mason was always willing to take a phone call so we could ask additional questions, help us work out our wedding day timeline, and suggest a shot list for us to work off of. We also sent him a few “inspo pics” to take the day of the wedding which he assured us we would get similar shots of. He also sent a final questionnaire asking thoughtful questions. From that last phone call we knew that things would run incredibly smoothly during our wedding day when it came to photo and video.
On our wedding day, Mason, Savannah, and their team were phenomenal. They kept the both of us calm throughout the chaos, problem solved when it came to weather or minor issues (for example, the top of our chuppah started to fall during our ceremony and Mason swooped in with a binder clip to reinforce it), and most importantly, it never felt like cameras were constantly in our faces. They were capturing our day as it was occurring rather than creating hundreds of posed photos, and we had fun doing it too. Every shot from the shot list we had sent him was done efficiently, too (all of them between the first look and the ceremony). Also, all the “inspo pics” I had sent to Mason the week before, he made sure to get the same photo of which was also great. They truly made the day run smoothly and captured everything.
We got our sneak peek photos less than two weeks after the wedding had happened, which was around 200 photos. This was such a pleasant surprise. The photos are so beautiful and we are so excited to get video back and the rest of the photos in a few weeks!
Also, towards the end of the night, we were running a little behind schedule and coming up on the 8 hours that we had booked them for, but Mason and Savannah offered to stay to capture the rest of the events with no issues, which was so appreciated and a no brainer.
In other words, Anchor Pictures are true professionals and know how to make your wedding day or any event perfect and I recommend them to anyone.
We cannot say enough about what a joy it was to work with Mason and Savannah. From day one they were open and responsive to our requests. As people who are not big photo-takers they were great at putting us at ease and making the process feel natural (to that end, definitely recommend doing an engagement shoot with them prior to the wedding). We had multiple guests come up to us in the days following our wedding to specifically comment on how professional and warm they found Anchor Pictures to be (with numerous people noting how impressed they were that Mason and Savannah immediately remembered everyone's name). They helped the day run smoothly, without ever feeling pushy and captured all the important moments without making them feel altered for the sake of photos alone. They were prompt communicators, very thorough, and we are thrilled with how the photographs turned out. 10/10 would definitely recommend!
As the designated photographer for my friends, family, and colleagues, to say I have high expectations for photos and videos is an understatement. Yet, Mason and Savannah far surpassed my expectations. They were extremely easy to work with and accommodating when I added extra hours and rehearsal dinner coverage at the last minute.
Their coordination with each other while the bridesmaids and groomsmen got ready apart was very impressive. They kept us more informed than the bridal party was otherwise keeping each other informed of next steps. They paid attention to every detail to get the best shots of everything from bridal details and the wedding program to moving my hair or straightening my ring in photos. We feel lucky to be able to relive our wedding day through their lenses.
My only regret is not hiring them for photography AND videography. They only did videography for our wedding and I loved their shots so much, I asked for stills of the videos. The way they staged us, framed us, and captured unique moments is truly unrivaled.
You should absolutely hire them!
As we planned our wedding, we were really on the fence about hiring a videographer, mostly due to budget and cost. A few family members and friends suggested that we invest in a videographer because it is something tangible that we could cherish throughout our lives and our marriage. We are so happy with our decision, and it would also be my biggest piece of advice to any other bride and groom!
When we saw Anchor Pictures' work, we knew they were it. We love that they are a married couple, and their love is palpable. They know what to look for to capture love. They captured not only the love of our day but the guests and little details through their cinematography that we as the bride and groom may have missed in the whirl and swirl of everything. We are so happy with the results and we will truly cherish this memory for the rest of our lives!
Anchor Picture turned my wedding into a work of art! Exceeded all expectations and I will recommend them to the moon and back! I hosted a wedding in downtown Los Angeles, had a vision as Anchor Pictures read my mind! The whole team was so kind, friendly, chill, professional and very personable -- in the beginning its a nerve wracking day, and yet they kept their cool, felt no pressure, and they offered great direction and detail for all the shots. They had just as much fun as we did that day. I hope our paths will cross again in the future, as they are such a great team and awesome people to work with!
I simply can’t find the words. Hands down one of the best decisions we made was deciding to work with Anchor Pictures.
Mason and his team were such a pleasure to work with and incredibly professional from top to bottom. They spent so much time and energy on the final product and it shows. We originally didn’t think we wanted videographers, but truly it was the best decision and such a special memory we can’t wait to share it with everyone!
Mason was beyond amazing! He captured our wedding better than I could have ever imagined. He was very punctual, professional & caring as if it were a family member getting married. The videos turn out beyond my expectations & I couldn’t be happier with my decision of booking Anchor Pictures!
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect duo to capture our day! We love Anchor Pictures so much and respect their craft.
Mason and Savannah from Anchor Pictures are AMAZING! We are so grateful they were able to capture our day and provide us with amazing videos that we’ll cherish forever. They are an absolute dream to work with—so incredibly kind, responsive, and FUN! We love them!
We had a small pop-up wedding, and Anchor Pictures was included in our package as the videographer. Mason and Savannah did not disappoint! Not only were they extremely kind and a pleasure to work with, but our video is TO. DIE. FOR.
I honestly can't put into words how unbelievably happy I am with how our video turned out and how wonderful they are to work with! Do yourself a favor and get in touch with them!
Such a talented and professional team! We are so grateful for how they captured our wedding! So cinematic!
We hired Savannah and Mason from Anchor Pictures to video our July beach wedding and we could not be happier with our decision. On the day of the wedding, both videographers were prompt and required little direction. More importantly, they were able to get all their footage without putting any extra stress on any member of the wedding party or family. They were professional and incredibly courteous.
During the wedding, Savannah and Mason captured an incredible amount of footage. At no point were they shoving cameras in our face, yet their final product still managed to reflect every important part of the day. Mason was very attentive to our needs when we planned pre-wedding and he put his plan into action on the day of our big event, requiring little to no direction.
Finally, Anchor Pictures got us our videos in a timely fashion. The final highlight video is unbelievable and we watch it at least twice a week. We were also able to get all the raw footage of speeches and the ceremony, which was very important to us. Far and away, hiring Anchor Pictures is one of the best decisions we ever made. My recommendation to anyone reading this review is to immediately go to their website and book them before someone else does!
Mason and Savannah are one of the kindest couples we know. It was beautiful to witness this husband and wife photography team work together so seamlessly. They truly love working with couples, and having been married for many years, they have a unique understanding of marriage and bring that perspective into their work. I also really appreciated the balance of masculine and feminine energy. Mason and Savannah's personalities balance each other's out, and it really came through in their working styles. During our bride and groom portraits, Mason was shooting while Savannah was helping to direct and adjust small details with my dress, bouquet, etc. It was such a treat to observe their partnership. I really appreciated that she paid attention to those little details.
I think my favorite part about working with Anchor Pictures was how unobtrusive Mason was when shooting our wedding. Aside from our posed photos, I barely even noticed him throughout the day, resulting in the documentary style look we were hoping to achieve. Being a bride can be very stressful, and the last thing you want is a photographer that makes you feel self conscious or contributes to your stress in any way.
We had a fantastic experience working with Anchor Pictures and highly recommend them!
We weren't going to hire a videographer at first, but our photographer recommended Anchor Pictures and after watching a few of their samples we knew we had to hire them! They were booked on our big day, but were still able to provide some videographers for us. We worked with Mason with all the booking and the planning including setting up a FaceTime with the videographer who would there on our wedding day. The guys they sent to film were incredibly nice and so easy to work with! We barely knew they were there. Then, we got our highlight film and WOW! All of the emotion from that day was captured in just five minutes and it was the most beautiful video. We are so incredibly grateful we hired Anchor Pictures, definitely the best decision we made. If you are contemplating hiring a videographer, do it and hire Anchor Pictures! You will not be disappointed!
We hired Anchor Pictures to come with us to Hawaii to photography our wedding, as well as a photoshoot on the beach the day after the wedding.
When I tell you that they are absolutely perfect, I'm not exaggerating. From the meeting we had with them a month before, where they laid everything out, and even helped me plan my day-of activities to best accommodate all the shots that we wanted and needed... To hiking down with us through VERY tough terrain to get breathtaking shots in Pololu Valley. They were so game and positive, and the shots they got literally took our breath away.
They were super fast getting us some initial shots to share with friends... I think we were still on our honeymoon... Maybe? Haha! But what I truly love about them is their incredible eye and cheeky sense of humor. They get such a variety of shots, from candids, to posed, to traditional, to edgy, to romantic, to hilarious, to artsy.... Just anything you could ever want. They make every moment look epic.
And to top it off they are the sweetest couple! Their beautiful, kind, and patient energies brought a lot of calm to a fast and furious day. They are the chillest people, and we loved having a happily married couple bless our day with their good juju. ;)
We have now been married for almost 2 years, and we still pull out our wedding album every month to stare at and swoon over. We had the perfect wedding, and Anchor Pictures captured every second and then some.
Mason and Savannah were our videographers for our wedding, and they were amazing! Of the many vendors we worked with for our wedding, they were the easiest to work with and provided the best service. We met with them in person once a few months before the wedding day to go over the logistics and discuss our vision for our video. They had already worked at our venue before so they knew more about the specifics there then we did. Aside from them just being super sweet people, they were very professional and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. We found that the questions they asked us during our in-person meeting were useful for us to start pinning down the details of our schedule for the wedding day.
During our wedding day they were inobtrusive but always in the right position to capture the best moments. They let our photographer take the lead for choosing spots to shoot and only occasionally asked for specific poses, etc. Along with our photographer, they were honestly a calming presence during an obviously hectic day.
Our finished product was better than we had hoped for. The aesthetic for the highlights video was exactly what we wanted and we especially enjoyed their thoughtful use of the music we had suggested-- we weren't sure if it would fit with the tone of the video but they made it work beautifully. Other than that, they got every important moment including every speech and the entire ceremony, and a lot of dancing scenes.
All in all, we couldn't recommend Anchor pictures enough and if they're still working when our future kids get married we'll fly them to wherever in the world the wedding will be.
The team was fantastic! You won’t be disappointed! We couldn’t have asked for a better and more talented group of people to help make our special day magical!
Anchor Pictures has always been a joy to work with, across many different projects. So when my husband and I were renewing our vows for our 10 year anniversary, we knew we wanted Anchor there to capture our story. It turned out to be a cold and misty day in the mountains, and Mason was still completely positive regardless. It turned out to be absolutely magical, and we have incredible memories to look back on through the photography he delivered from that transformative day!
Mason and Savannah were wonderful! They were extremely friendly, sweet, and easy to work with. They were able to capture the best moments of our wedding very discreetly - we barely noticed the cameras. Their editing is amazing, and we are delighted with our final product. The 5 minute highlight video surpassed our expectations and we love being able to share it so easily with friends and family. We highly recommend them! Thank you, Anchor Studios!!
Beyond being great photographer & videographers, Mason & Savannah are just great people. When you're at your most intimate & vulnerable its important to have people you can trust. Thank you both for taking such good care of my Wife & I. You have a client and friend for life.
Anchor Pictures pricing, terms and services were clearly communicated and very fair. They were prompt for every meeting, very well prepared and over delivered on every task presented to them. If you want the highest quality work & peace of mind look no further.
I am so happy we got Anchor Pictures to shoot our wedding. My husband dislikes photos and being the focus of anyone’s attention. The awesome duo of Mason and Savannah created a low-pressure, comfortable atmosphere for him and our wedding party while making us feel special, cared-for, and beautiful. They let us dictate what we wanted from our photos and didn’t put us in strange or unnatural poses. They are genuine, they are artists, they are sweet, they are top-notch in what they do. I recommend their services without hesitation.
We hired Anchor Pictures to do the videography for our wedding here in Los Angeles this past fall. We are SO HAPPY we did!! Mason was a true professional and such a talented artist. He did a phenomenal job capturing not only the 'big' moments of our wedding day, but also the small moments that are equally important.
Our package came with a highlight film that was perfect for sharing with family and friends who could join us on the day, as well as an extended film with more extensive footage. Mason worked with us beforehand to understand what events and moments of the day were important to us, and he captured them all beautifully. We are so happy we hired him, since we will no doubt be watching both videos for many years to come.
If you are looking for a videographer - Anchor Pictures is a must!
Mason and Savannah were the most professional, charismatic , passionate and easy to work with vendors. From the moment we had our first meeting to the end of our wedding day to the day we received our video, they were easy to communicate with and a pleasure to work with. When we received our video we were left speechless with what an amazing job they did!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for capturing all the right angles and all the right moments!! We cannot stop sharing the video with all of our family and friends! We are truly lucky to have found such amazing videographers like you!!
Mason and Savannah are so professional & friendly photographers/videographers. It was not easy to find such a wonderful professionals because there were many photographers/ videographers. We carefully checked each vendor, and we decided to ask Anchor Pictures.
Our decision to ask Anchor Pictures was a right decision. They did the fantastic job!!!! The wedding reception is the only once. Each moment is special and important. They took all important moments during our wedding reception. My husband, my family, guests and I love to watch their work. We strongly recommend Anchor Pictures if you'd like to keep your special momemts.
We absolutely loved working with Mason and Savannah! They were one of the first vendors we hired and while we were waiting for our big day to approach Mason was incredibly responsive via email. We met with Mason a few weeks before our wedding. He made sure to answer all of our questions and assured us that the day would run smoothly.
Our wedding day was a whirlwind of emotions. We met Mason and Savannah in the afternoon to say hello and they got to work. It is always uncomfortable being filmed or photographed for us, but Mason and Savannah have a calming effect that allowed us to feel natural. The best part of working with them is the final product. We are obsessed with our wedding video! They did an amazing job capturing our wedding and we can't wait for our first anniversary to watch our video and experience it all over again. Needless to say, we highly recommend working with Mason and Savannah!
Anchor Pictures did such an incredible job of capturing our wedding day from start to finish! The video they produced is emotional, fun and beautiful and i've already watched it a ton of times in 2 days. If you are looking for a videographer then definitely hire them. They are very affordable and worth every penny. We will cherish this video forever. We can't thank them enough.
We hired Anchor Pictures as our Videographer for our Reception in August, 2017. We were very pleased with the service and quality of our video. Both the "highlight" and the "full" video were amazing! Mason was delightful to work with, was very professionally dressed and worked very well with our photographer. I felt like he was invisible as he worked in the background with our guests. I highly recommend Anchor Pictures for any event.
MASON AND SAVANNAH ARE THE PERFECT TEAM! This couple has the infectious energy that you want around you as part of your Big Day and they will leave you with a finished product that you'll never get tired of watching!
My wife and I got married this September at an outdoor venue in Temecula and we got so lucky that we hired Anchored Pictures as our videography team.
From the first sales consultation to the final video drop off, they were a joy to work with. This couple is so fun and playful yet they always keep your day, story and love at the center of their attention. Any questions that we had, they got back to us so quickly and really put our minds at ease. I'm sure you will immediately be impressed with their personable, sweet approach while walking you through all the steps and questions that you didn't even know to think of!
Day of: they were professional, well-dressed, punctual and on top of all of that we really felt like we had two cheerleaders rooting for us behind the camera. Just good energy all around! They were very attentive and seemed to have caught every moment. Giving you positive feedback and loving care. SO wonderful!
Weeks later: when Mason shared the link to the highlight video, my wife and I admitted to each other that we were quite nervous to watch it because it was the last chapter on our Wedding day! All the amazing memories were solidified in video form. We are SO glad we picked Anchored Pictures because the film was perfect. They did a PERFECT job. No notes. Couldn't imagine anyone doing better. My wife and I watched the video multiple times back-to-back, holding each other and crying because Mason and Savannah did a remarkable job encapsulating our indescribable day so we can remember it for the rest of time!
Final thought to all the couples out there: you will never regret investing in your memories of your Big Day. 10, 20, 50 years down the line, it won't matter how much you spent. It WILL matter if you had true professionals capturing each and every moment of your amazing whirlwind day because it will be gone in the blink of an eye.
Remember it. Remember it well. Hire Anchored Pictures.
We had the pleasure of working with Mason on our wedding day! He captured so many important moments and more! I don't know how he did it because he works so seamlessly! You wouldn't even know he was there! Amazing work! He's true to his craft!
We absolutely adore Anchor Pictures! They were part of the preferred vendor list of a few venues we visited and after viewing their videos online, we knew they were the ones to shoot our wedding day. Mason was incredibly responsive to emails during the initial days of making contact and helped us to figure out the right package. Almost a year went by before getting in touch again to finalize our questionnaire and the day-of details before we finally met Mason and Savannah on our wedding day. They are the most lovely couple. They blended in so perfectly with our other vendors and our family. You get quite intimate with your photographers and videographers on your wedding day and we felt instantly comfortable with Mason and Savannah and had a blast with them during the afternoon and evening. Our highlight video was sent to us right on time (about 7 weeks post-wedding) and is simply beautiful. We had one small edit request and they made the change within 24 hours. The video encompasses the day so well and everyone who has seen it thus far raves about it. Both Mason and Savannah are warm, charming, detail-oriented and extremely talented. I cannot recommend Anchor Pictures enough.
Look no further, Mason and Savannah are the best! They were a pleasure to work with, so nice and professional. Our highlight film is AMAZING and exceeded our expectations. i highly highly highly recommend them!
Mason and his wife, Savannah, filmed our wedding day this past June and they did such a wonderful job. They helped keep us calm and relaxed throughout the whole day. We recently received our highlight video of the day and had zero changes - they captured the emotion and the moments of the day perfectly. We highly recommend them as wedding videographers and are so pleased with our decision to work with them! Thank you Mason & Savannah!
Mason and Savannah are pros- they work quickly, invisibly and with a clear vision of the shots they want. They captured all of the intensity, emotion and happiness of our special day, and we are so pleased with the results.
After reviewing videographers on the Knot, my wife and I decided on Anchor Pictures. Mason and Savannah are very easy to work with and captured our wedding beautifully. My wife is someone who DOES NOT like attention, but they made her feel at ease and worked discreetly when capturing moments throughout the day. When she initially brought up the idea of having a videographer in addition to our photographer, I had some reservations. Needless to say, I had ZERO regret after seeing our 2 song highlight film and 45-minute extended video. I know that this is something we will definitely look back on throughout the years, and I am thankful we worked with two of the nicest, easygoing and professional people to capture our wedding day. We would definitely recommend them!
We couldn't be more thrilled with our wedding pictures! There are so many to choose from and we feel like all our requests were fulfilled - from extended family members to our beloved dogs. Anchor Pictures was amazing throughout the whole process - their artistry, professionalism and genuine kindness are unsurpassed. Photos are so important and it was so nice to have a team that did the job so well and had the vision to create photos that are beautiful and unique. You can just let them do their thing and be present in the moment. If we could give them more than five stars we would !
This was one of the best decisions we made when it comes to our vendor list. We were super close to not having a videographer due to budget, but could not be any more glad that we decided to book Anchor Pictures last at the last minute. Their work is stunning and the finished product was truly even better than I could have hoped for. My new hubby doesn't get excited about things easily,, but he was blown away and so thrilled with our finished video. I could not recommend them enough and already have and will to all of my girlfriend's weddings in the future. THANK YOU SO MUCH, ANCHOR PICTURES!!!
Anchor Pictures equals excellence! Classy, professional, top-notch! Savannah and Mason worked to make my daughter's wedding unforgettable. As the mother-of-the-bride, I could rest assured that Anchor Pictures was capturing each and every moment of our event, from all the traditional snapshots to so many candids that the average photographer misses entirely. Thank you, Anchor Pictures! You guys are the best!
My husband and I are overwhelmed by the amazing work of Mason and Savannah. We had the fortunate opportunity to have Anchor Pictures photograph our engagement pictures (El Matador Beach - Malibu) and our wedding (Saddlerock Ranch - Malibu) and it was the BEST decision we made throughout our wedding planning process. They are both such a pleasure to be around and truly take the time to understand your vision. We couldn't be more thankful to have them as an instrumental part of our special day. They helped us with their great organization and direction, allowing us to focus on our Wedding and Reception! Anchor Pictures is definitely deserving of an exceptional rating and we would recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer for any special occasion! We have recently received our wedding pictures and are still swooning over how beautiful they are. We could not be more grateful to have such amazing photos of our wedding day. Thank you for providing us with memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
The best you can get! Mason went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and relaxed during the pictures. He is funny, creative, understanding and professional. Everyone in my bridal party made it a point to tell me how amazing he did and how comfortable he made us all feel. His work is the best of the best. I could not be more pleased with how our photos turned out. We LOVE Anchor Pictures!!
Anchor Pictures is the absolute best! They did our engagement and wedding pictures and both are absolutely stunning! Highly recommend them!
We weren't going to get a videographer at first, but we knew we wouldn't regret it so after an exhaustive search to find the best quality for our budget we were so lucky to find Anchor Pictures. Mason and Savannah are so kind and professional. We were blown away with how they captured our day! It truly reflects all the love and joy we experienced. They were able to capture so many details and include basically all of our guests in the shots which makes it even more special. Don't think twice about hiring them!!
We absolutely LOVE the highlights. We weren't convinced about wanting to spend the money on a video but we're so glad we did because it was worth every penny. We can't wait to share it with our friends and family. We're sure they'll relive every moment like we did. The day was a blur and this helped us relive our day. THANK YOU!
Mason and Savannah were incredible! My husband and I feel so humbled they could be a part of our wedding day! They are so incredibly kind and personable. It was such a joy to work with them! The highlight video they made was so wonderful! The price they offer is so reasonable for the awesome work they do! If you are looking for a videographer, you need to hire Anchor Pictures. You will not regret it!
If we could give 10 stars to Anchor Pictures we would! We found Anchor Pictures on The Knot recommended list, after a long search of finding the perfect videographer to capture all the special moments of our day. And they were even more than anything we could have asked for. Absolutely perfect! We looked up past videos they had done and were sold! They were so easy to get in contact with and so easy to communicate throughout our entire process. The package we chose included so much and it was everything we were looking for. We felt so comfortable and confident in their work. They were both so great the day of our wedding and were with us the entire day capturing it all! When they sent us our highlight film, we were absolutely blown away! It was so amazing reliving our wedding day all over again and seeing our expressions and all the details. In the wedding package we chose, we got the extended film that had all the main events of our day filmed in full. Having that is something we will always treasure. The video had things we forgot even happened! We can't say enough how happy we are with Anchor Pictures and their amazing work and artistic eye. You are going to want to have your wedding filmed by Anchor Pictures because once the wedding is over, all you have is memories and having it in a beautiful film, brings all those memories to life. Anchor Pictures brings it all to life.
The best photographer and videographer ever! I cannot say enough good things about Mason and Savannah. We did our engagement session with Mason and knew immediately we had made the right choice. Mason and his team captured every moment of our special day without ever interfering or making anyone aware of their presence. And best of all, we got our photos and video in no time! Less than three weeks later, we not only had the chance to review proofs, we received the CD's in the mail. So impressed with their professionalism and artistic eye. I would definitely recommend them to anyone!
Mason got great film of my son's outdoor wedding (it was on a covered bridge, so he didn't have a whole lot of options when it came to camera locations). That didn't matter! He took beautiful film of the wedding and we didn't even notice him there!
For the reception, he was very thorough and got great shots of every different piece - from the cake to the toast to the dancing, we are never going to forget my son's wedding - especially thanks to Mason and Anchor Pictures!
The best photography/video team in LA! They did a great job working with our budget and were a blast to have at the wedding!
I am an Event Manager with WINK! Weddings and ALWAYS refer my couples to Anchor Pictures. They are an amazing husband and wife team that capture every perfect moment. They are flexible and work well to create the package of your dreams!
We hired Mason to be the videographer for our wedding and it is a decision I'm SO glad we made! He met with us before the wedding to go over our schedule for the day and to make sure he knew if there was anything we wanted specifically captured. He did a wonderful job getting all the big moments as well as the details. We absolutely love our highlight video and and it was great to have to share with many friends and family who could not make the trip. My friends confessed to tearing up and watching it several times because of how beautiful it was! Mason is a talented videographer who knows how to capture all the right moments and move people with his work! If you're going to trust your memories to be captured well than you can count on Anchor Pictures!!
First off, Mason and Savannah are the sweetest people you will ever meet with the kindest and most sincere hearts. They make you feel so welcomed into their work, allowing you to be comfortable and worry-free. Having them as my wedding photographers was the absolute best choice and I would not have had it any other way. They made my wedding day go so much smoother (what every bride longs for) and captured the best moments so everyone can see. Their eye for this art is a gift and is truly their calling! There is a reason they have nothing but 5 stars!! I would give them 10 if it were possible!
Mason and Savannah live in Los Angeles where I currently reside. Mason met with me 2 weeks before my wedding and made sure to write down every detail and what was most important for my bride to be. He shot all day for us and didn't stop working until we were gone. They were able to provide us with a highlight video that was easy to share with friends and family! It even made a few of my coworkers cry, which is powerful. They also provided us with a full length version which is very special to me because I was able to see so much that I missed out on that day (bride opening her wedding gift, bride getting ready, set up of the ceremony). Something that was very important to us was the dancing at our wedding and Mason made sure that everyone who danced made it on the full length film and I cannot tell you the joy we received by watching that over and over again.
I would recommend Anchor Pictures to everybody. You will be more than satisfied with your wedding video and even more satisfied with how much they truly care about your story and making it memorable for you!
We were lucky enough to find Mason and Savannah to video our wedding and we are beyond pleased with their quality of work!! They truly captured the most important, sincere and joyful moments from our entire wedding day better than we could have ever imagined! They are the sweetest people and made us feel so comfortable behind their cameras. We are very fortunate that we are able to relive the most magical day of our lives, and even witness the joyous moments that we missed out on. The 7 minute highlight video they put together for us brought my husband and I to tears and we can't stop talking about how amazing it is. I can't imagine not having them as videographers and being able to look back on our day and remember it forever. Mason and Savannah are incredibly talented, professional, and most importantly dedicated and passionate about their career and it definitely shows through in their work!! We cannot thank them enough and we are so over the moon with everything they did for us. We HIGHLY recommend booking them and it was definitely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! :)
Anchor Pictures captured our wedding day better than I could have ever hoped. Beyond just photographing the event, they truly captured the feeling, mood, and joy present on that day. My two main priorities for that day was to have an awesome party for all of my friends to enjoy and awesome pictures to remember it, and that is exactly what I got!
We had 2 photographers, Mason and Savannah, so that we got two different angles, styles, and perspectives on the event. In addition to the wedding and reception they also photographed our rehearsal, rehearsal dinner and getting ready before the wedding. (l recommend all of these services if you can. Everyone says your wedding goes by in a blur and it is very true!) They also traveled across the country for it!
We didn’t have a lot of very specific photo ideas, just wanted to leave that up to the professionals and I am glad we did. Mason and Savannah have an eye for the perfect setting, lighting, etc. We did a “first look” shoot before the ceremony, and they did a beautiful job of setting that up and making that extremely memorable. They caught all of the important moments of the ceremony, from the smallest details and fleeting facial expressions to sweeping shots of the whole setting. Then, far beyond the traditional, formal family and couple photos (which were impeccable), I have hundreds of candid photos of everyone who matters to us laughing, dancing and having a great time. I think my mom put it best when she said "every time I saw a special moment happening anywhere, I would reach for my camera, but Mason or Savannah was already there capturing it”.
All in all, Anchor Pictures truly captured the feeling and mood of the most important day of my life and I HIGHLY recommend them. (In fact, I recommended them to my sister-in-law for her wedding and she loved them as well!) There are enough tough decision surrounding a wedding, but this one it easy! You will be so happy you chose Anchor Pictures.
After handing the reins over to Anchor Pictures, their photographers took care of the rest! We hired two photographers, Mason and Savannah. I was so impressed with the professionalism and personalized service that Anchor Pictures provided. They did a fantastic job organizing large groups of people for formal shots but also allowing candid moments to unfold. Anchor Pictures struck the perfect balance between being in the middle of every moment to capture it but not making themselves a nuisance or distracting from the moment happening.
Anchor Picture's photographer's complemented each other and diversified the angles and type's of images. They provided us we a fantastic mixture of full-color and black & white images– complementary working together through different photographic mediums to capture the spirit and energy of the event. One example of this, the moment when my bride was walking with her father out of a set of doors on her way down the isle was caught from both the front angle and the back angle. The front photo caught the view from the congregation, showing the expression on my bride and father in-laws face perfectly. Simultaneously, the shot from the back framed the moment perfectly with rays of sun radiating through the opened door– a view that would have never been seen by anyone had we not had the second photographer.
All of the photos we received from Anchor Pictures were technically and artistically exquisite. The composition of the photographs demonstrated a keen artistic and formally trained eye. Anchor Pictures' technical balance of exposure, contrast and depth of field was impeccable, throughout a wide array settings– interior, exterior, direct sunlight, shade, night-lighting, etc.
I have and will continue to recommend Anchor Pictures to anyone looking to capture a special moment. There is no equal for the level of professionalism and technical proficiency along with artistic ingenuity and perception that Anchor Pictures provides
Mason Summers is an absolute gem. Not only are his photographs absolutely brilliant and capture the day to a tee, but he is the hardest working and sweetest guy around. He and his lovely wife/second shooter, Savannah, are the best team. They accommodate your needs and make sure to capture every moment in a unique way. They're so much fun to be around and make even lengthy family photo session seem like a breeze. So important when you want comfortable, natural photos. We absolutely adore our photos (as does everyone else) and will treasure them forever. Can't wait to work with them again!
It sounds strange to say, but Mason worked so well blending into the background that I barely knew he was there at times! He made sure that he got all the angles and shots he needed while keeping my husband and I at ease on our wedding day. Even my photographer was impressed with his original ideas and the shots he was able to capture. The finished product was a perfect balance of ceremony and reception. When both my parents and my husband's parents have no critiques about the video, you know it must be good! I'm very grateful that Mason was able to capture our special day. I've also seen his photography (as they did our engagement pictures too!) and I cannot speak highly enough of him and his wife, Savannah.
