Studio205Films

Peter from Studio205 was pretty much flawless the day of. Peter's sense of humor really made things easy to work with. Not only is Peter awesome with what he does, but he did it in a fashion that made him Ninja like. You hardly noticed he was filming which makes your emotions and reactions a little more natural. This will turn out much better in the videos Peter will also go out of his way to help you out when needed, we had a hick up with our first photographer (which I won't name here) but he helped us reach out to others to try to get us some answers. All in All, Peter will be a Videographer that I can recommend with my eyes closed. Thanks again Peter for the awesome day! We can't wait to see what you are going to put together for us.

Studio205Films went above and beyond on our wedding day. Their unique style, composition, and art directing really made the finished product truly amazing. Would definitely recommend their services to every couple out there seeking a wedding video of their special day.

For a one day event, weddings are incredibly expensive. So, you have to know what aspects of the wedding to invest in to make your wedding as lasting as possible. And there is no better way to make your wedding an ongoing memory than for it to be captured on video. STOP putting your money in stuff that no one will remember 24 hours later and START putting your money in a cutting edge videographer. This is what my wife and I showed everyone after our wedding was over and I'm so glad we didn't get someone that was amateurish. Studio205 films will make every single person at your wedding want to book them for their future wedding.

Peter is very professional! Not only was he in time but he was on top of things all day! I had a very long wedding day (12+ hours) and Peter stayed with me all day and captured all my magic moments. He was also my brother and sister in laws videographer. We all choose him coincidentally because he's that good! If you're looking for an affordable, funny, helpful, and professional videographer, then definitely book peter!!!

Peter has been great at communicating and working through the pre-wedding details with us. Looking forward to working with him for our January 2014 wedding!

Peter, Studio205films, and his team are absolutely amazing. I had them do our same day-edit and my husband and I seriously fell in love. He captured every single important moments. Of course the typical wedding moments but even my family and friends. He has so much creativity and direction that you're automatically confident in what he's going to deliver. Peter is super busy and if you get to book him, consider yourself lucky! You'll be more than happy with studio205films. AND he brought in SLOMO ARIGATO, which is a slo-mo video booth company. OMG... IT WAS THE BIGGEST HIT EVER! People absolutely loved it and I loved it too. My husband and I kept on going back to do more video shoots (even though we were suppose to be dancing on the dance floor!)

It’s been exactly three months since our wedding and we must have watched our same day edit (including once just before writing this) at least fifty times. We just can’t stop watching the video over and over again. Peter did an unbelievable job capturing all the happiness, tears, and joy we experienced on our wedding day. Both of our parents (after showing them how) have it downloaded on their Ipads and make up any excuse they can think of to show it to anyone/everyone they meet. He worked well with our photographer and kept a very low profile. We hardly noticed he was even there! Highly recommended!

We were extremely lucky to get Peter to work with us on our wedding. Right from the start, we loved his awesome sense of humor and appreciated his willingness to help us with certain aspects of our wedding. He was amazing on the day of our wedding as well, even lightening up the mood when it needed it. I couldn't walk down the flight of stairs for my first look (nervously wobbly legs) without him calming my nerves. His work speaks for itself - absolutely beautiful. He was prompt, too; I believe he delivered earlier than promised. We all loved the dvd and the fact that we were able to watch it as early as we did. As if all that wasn't enough, Peter followed up with me a few times after my wedding. One of those times, I told him I haven't received my photos yet and he helped me get my photos!! He saved me a process that may have taken (no joke) 3 years. The amazing thing about that, other than getting my pictures of course, is that he offered to do it. He is extremely kind and generous along with accountable, reliable, funny, a genius... the list goes on and on. There is not another videographer I would go to. I trust Peter and his work completely.

Peter of studio205films was recommended to my (now) husband and me by our photographer, who had nothing but excellent things to say about Peter's shooting style and personality. We checked out Peter's work online, and both loved what we saw, so we arranged to meet up with Peter for an introductory interview of sorts, where we'd all decide if we were a good fit to work together. Before our meeting was even over, my husband and I exchanged a look of knowing: "this guy is totally the right guy for us." Peter was friendly and funny while also being totally professional. He was clearly experienced with wedding videography and his shooting style was exactly what we were looking for: candid and romantic, authentically telling the story of our day without forcing anything. His personality totally meshed with ours, so we hired him on the spot. On our wedding day, Peter and his assistant arrived early to scope out our venue, which was a huge comfort for me! I appreciated that he didn't just show up the minute before he was supposed to start shooting. When he arrived, he was RELAXED and ready to shoot - he was cracking jokes and being silly, which was exactly what I needed to stay calm and relaxed myself! He was in the room when I was finishing up getting ready, and BOY AM I GLAD HE WAS! As my mom zipped up the back of my dress, she noticed that the back of my dress was no longer closing all the way, leaving a small gap at the top of the zipper - NOT what I wanted my dress to look like! So PETER stepped in, told me that he knew how to sew, and he sewed me into my dress! He did a flawless job and the dress looked perfect again!!! It was amazing, and further confirmed Peter's awesomeness. I was surprised and so grateful that he'd offered to sew my dress shut in a pinch. Once our day got rolling and we started with our first look and formal shots, he basically turned into a chameleon -- in the best kind of way. Peter worked so well with our photographer that I hardly noticed when & where he was shooting. He has a way of sort of disappearing and still managing to get incredible footage - exactly what I wanted from our videographer! I tend to feel really awkward in front of cameras, so I appreciated his shooting style: stealthy. A few months ago, my husband and I had asked a friend to make a video slideshow for the reception. At the end of our friend's slideshow, the video suddenly went to video footage of our wedding day - wait WHAT?! It turns out, a few months ago, my hubby and Peter had conspired to SURPRISE me with a Same Day Edit at the reception - and WOW, it was INCREDIBLE! Peter is such a stealthy shooter that I never even noticed his absence while he was putting together the edit - yet there we were, watching footage from the beginning of our special day! I couldn't stop crying (which was a theme of the day that Peter also thoroughly captured), and was so grateful to Peter & my husband for the amazing surprise. For the rest of the reception, people kept coming up to us, raving about how wonderful the same day edit was...they couldn't believe that Peter had put all of that together SO QUICKLY! Peter is amazing, and I'm SO glad that we chose him to capture our special day. He is friendly and funny, while staying professional and productive. And he's stealthy like James Bond (but with less hair) behind the camera, so he was the perfect choice for us!

I had such amazing vendors for my wedding, but more than that they are amazing people! I'm so glad we went with studio205films. When we met with Peter for the first time, we knew right off the bat that his humor and easy going personality would fit just perfectly with us. As a bride, you definitely have more than enough on your plate, but honestly, studio205films made sure everything was in place. The only thing I had to think about were some song selections for the same day edit (probably the easiest thing on my checklist :). Peter and his assistant came on time, and truly worked so well with my photographer...I was so stress-free. They were able to collaborate and scout out nice picturesque areas. Studio205films truly knows how to make various video clips into a beautiful video montage (I was guilty of watching it at least 10 times, once it came in the mail). Peter is so great at what he does, and I would highly recommend using studio205films. It's one thing to have good vendors, but it's another to have great people who truly care about making your wedding a magical one.

Peter was absolutely amazing... he went wayyy above and beyond our expectations on the wedding day and when we saw our video we were absolutely blown away. He works hard but is simply just talented. I would recommend any bride to make it a PRIORITY to book him on their wedding day. It will be the best decision you'll ever make for your wedding!!!

Words cannot describe how happy we are that we decided to hire Studio205Films to document our wedding day! Not only was Peter just the most easy-going and fun person you could possibly meet, his work is truly truly top notch. He went out of his way to meet us in our area, responded quickly to all our emails, and really did everything he could to make us feel comfortable and relaxed during our wedding day. Working with Studio205Films has been such a pleasure and we can't wait to see our film! At first, we did not plan on hiring a professional videographer, but we truly feel that hiring Peter and Studio205Films was one of the BEST decisions we've made in our wedding planning process. Thank you so much for making our wedding so memorable!

Peter Chang of Studio 205 Films was one of our most special and best vendors. Not only did we book him to do our standard cinematography and videography for the wedding day, but Peter helped us with a very special project. If it weren’t for Peter, I wouldn’t have seen my stop-motion vision come to life. We really wanted to create a stop-motion video and have it incorporated somehow into our wedding. I was looking for various videographers and cinematographers to help make my vision come to life. When I first started chatting with Peter about packages for the wedding day, we instantly clicked as far as discussing the stop-motion project and we got into the groove of discussing different ideas for it right away. I was pleased to see his mutual interest level in the project because I knew we were going to end up with an awesome outcome. Together with our ideas, we shot and put together a kick-ass stop-motion short video that we played before our grand entrance at the reception. Peter’s talents really helped make the project come to life. As far as his work on the standard wedding day cinematography, Peter’s talent and work speaks for itself. I knew that I wanted to have Peter shoot my wedding day because I was so touched with all his other work that I viewed. He has a certain magic in capturing and putting together pieces of the special day. You’ll end up with a quality cinematic end product that you can cherish for years to come. I can’t think of an area in which Peter needs improvement in as a vendor. He is a straight-up and personable type of individual and a great vendor to work with for your wedding. He communicates timely and commits to you wholeheartedly on the big day. You will have tons of fun with Peter’s light-heartedness on your special day. You won’t be disappointed with his talent and work!

Peter is the best! He's super sweet, funny and nice! He honestly went out of his way to film our paebaek two days before the wedding. He also made our SDE and it was AMAZING! All our guests loved it!

Peter created the most incredible same day edit and beautiful final edit of our wedding. Not only did he blow us away with the quality in filming and editing, but we have received unsolicited compliments from everyone who has viewed them. On top of this, Peter and his team were so easy to work with - the entire experience was great! Our videos have turned out to be the most viewed and most shared items from our wedding, so our recommendation to all of our friends is not to skimp on the video, hire Studio205Films! Nick & Ann

My husband and I are very glad that we chose Peter. My sister used him last year for her wedding and we were very impressed with his same day edit and video. I did some shopping around anyhow just to make sure and we ended up booking Peter. He is definitely one of our top vendors. If you want your guest to be BLOWN AWAY by the same day edit video you need to book Peter. The video conjured alot of emotions for us and our guest and just recapped all the great moments of the day. I think the video made us all remember even after all those drinks and crazy dancing why we were here and thats to celebrate our love for each other!! My family and friends f continue to tell me that the love my videographer and thought he did an AMAZING job and I totally agree. He is also great to work with and pretty funny too. I highly recommend you book Peter if you are looking for that something during the wedding day that reminds everyone again why they are there. He can do that and more!! You cannot be dissapointed!

Peter's same day edit completed our wedding. Peter was able to capture the entire day and showcase it in front of all our friends and family. I even heard a few wedding guests say ,"Wait, wasn't this today? How did they do this? This happened all today! This is amazing!" My husband and I have watched the video a lot more than our wedding pictures. I am excited show my children one day. Most importantly, Peter was such an amazing person to be around. Seeing that you mostly spend time with the photographer and videographer all day, Peter lightened the mood by making us laugh. We felt at ease and calm the whole day. We loved spending time with him. He even cut a nonexistent hole on my husband's dress shirt in order to slip on the custom cufflinks I purchased for my husband! Thanks Peter for the video. The quality, musicality, and composition of the video was superb. The video has become priceless for us!

Hands down - hiring Peter was THE BEST decision we made for our wedding. Peter is so great to work with and was super responsive to my many questions leading up to the wedding. I loved working with him and enjoyed his great sense of humor. Definitely one of our top vendors. He did a same day edit for us which was AMAZING and blew our guests away. But not only is his creative work above and beyond, but so is his client service. When there were some hiccups on the day of the wedding, Peter immediately tried to make me feel better and fix the situation. I was so impressed by how well he handled the situation. I am so glad we booked Peter and assure you that hiring him for your Big Day will will be one of the best decisions you can make for your wedding.

Peter is AMAZING to work with! At first I didn't think I'd be able to afford a top-notch videographer like him. All the others were out of my budget but Peter's work was beautiful and he was so reasonably priced. His video quality is creative yet very classy--he knows how to make a professional wedding video without making it cheesy. His shots are smooth and natural, and he never makes you force or re-do anything. I barely realized I was on camera, so I wasn't self-conscious like I thought I'd be. The day of the wedding, he met me early in the morning while I started my hair appointment, and stayed with us all the way until the cake cutting--about 12 hours! I was originally debating asking a family member to just film a few pieces of the wedding, but I'm so glad I hired a professional, and Peter was so worth it both in terms of the time he spends on you and the quality of his work. He was flexible, organized, on-time, and very professional. He was always easy to get a hold of, and always where he needed to be. He is also incredibly funny, I was laughing through all of my morning appointments while he cracked jokes. Book studio205films!! Peter is worth every penny.

Studio205films was wonderful! The same day edit was amazing and blew our guests away. Peter is professional and fun at the same time. He has a great eye and amazing editing skills. His team was fun and easy to work with. We can't wait to see the rest of our wedding videos. He was the first vendor we booked and we are so happy to have picked him. The best choice...really.

My husband and I wanted to hire the best videographer to shoot our big wedding day and we were so lucky to find Peter Chang from Studio205 films. When we first interviewed Peter about a year ago, we absolutely loved his work at first sight. We had very high expectations and was looking for someone who did SDE, good quality work, and someone with great personality. Peter was the perfect videographer/vendor for us. He is so creative and his work is just amazing and unique! The trailer he shot with us along with our photographers was a 2 minute snip-it of our engagement session. It was so cute to share it with our family and friends. Our interview session of how we met was so much fun and our childhood slideshow was super memorable made by Peter. Theses slideshows were shown right before our SDE during our reception..but of course the best part was when our SDE was played for our guests but mainly for me and my husband. We knew Peter and his team did an awesome job when all of our jaws dropped watching the video and we had happy tears in our eyes as our day was being replayed back in such a short period of time. Needless to say, the work was just beyond amazing and we couldn't be any happier. Thank you to Peter Chang and his team for making it soooo very memorable for us!! We highly recommend Studio205 films to video shoot for your wedding day. You will not be disappointed! A++++++++++++

On the day of the wedding, Peter showed me a quick clip of what he had shot so far- with no editing whatsoever. And that's when I realized this man could make me look more beautiful than I even dreamed of. And that's what every bride wants to feel on her wedding day. Plus, his sense of humor, from the moment he walked through the door, set the tone for the rest of the day- everyone, the makeup girls, the photographer, the bridesmaids, and me, were so busy laughing and enjoying ourselves that I was almost sad to leave when it was showtime. So in the end, I paid for a videographer and got a magician who made me look amazing on camera and a buddy who eased my nerves on one of the biggest days of my life. So yeah, i recommend him. =)

Peter was easy to work with, and fun to have around during my wedding day prep. He can turn to being serious or goofy at the right moments. His work is also great - beautiful and detailed. My husband and I really enjoyed working with him and would highly reccomend him.

Peter did a wonderful job at our wedding capturing all the moments we deeply treasured. He was friendly, professional and fun to work with. He worked well with our families and friends. We would highly recommend him to be a part of any couples' wedding day.

Picking Peter for our wedding cinematography was an easy choice. His videos are amazing. His same day edits are magical. He was definitely the best value we found, with no compromise to quality. Upon meeting Peter, we felt assured that he was definitely a pro and he's just one of these guys you immediately feel comfortable with, which is definitely something you should look for in your cinematographer and photographers as well as we found out over the course of our wedding. The more comfortable you feel around them, the better your pictures and video will turn out. Then the day of the wedding came, his secondary cinematographer Danny was great, also a pro and all around nice comfortable guy. We had a long grueling wedding day, but Peter was there for the entire ride, capturing everything, from each member of the family during the tea ceremony, to my new wife and I just taking pictures with the photographers around Walt Disney Concert Hall, in addition to all of the usual footage during a wedding. Although Peter was there with us the whole day, I hardly even noticed him there capturing us the whole time. When I was watching, Peter and the photographers seemed to get along together too, which was great, you definitely don't want your photographers and cinematographers butting heads. All in all, we highly recommend Peter/Studio205films. They're stress-free and relaxing guys who are committed to the job; Peter was by our side for our entire 14 hour day and captured all the footage we wanted. And let me stress this again - their same-day-edits are magical.

If i could give peter and his crew ten stars, i would! having a videographer came as a last minute decision for us. we decided on it because we really wanted to be able to look back and watch, rewatch the most special day of our lives, since we had been warned that it would be a big blur at the end of it all. we also had a second reception in Chicago and wanted to show highlights from our California reception. i researched many, many vendors, and spent hours online, reading reviews, visiting websites, to find one that i felt was worth the money, since we originally did not have it in our budget. studio205films caught my eye on a SMP post, but i figured their films were so good that we couldn't afford it. when i put up a post on facebook asking for recommendations, three different people recommended him, so i thought i had to give him a chance. upon our first meeting, it was evident that this guy is not only good, but that he is intent on making sure everything he produces is of the utmost quality. this is what we appreciated the most about Peter: the fact that he spent hours making sure everything was perfect...he holds himself to the highest standard, even when my husband and i already loved what we saw, he did not stop there, and made sure it was absolute perfection. He even expedited the clips, working late into the night, to ensure we would have it on time for our chicago reception. What i also appreciated was that he made the day of preparations/getting ready part, fun and relaxing, and his sense of humor and great interaction with other vendors put me at ease. the videos we have, we can't get enough of, and our friends and family were all so very impressed, with many of them saying, 'man, we wish we had thought of having a videographer at our wedding..' don't have any regrets when it comes to yours and book studio205films asap! they fill up quick!!! oh and you know he's a pro because he's been in the film/tv industry for a while now, having worked on many acclaimed shows and series... he's truly a professional and really is affordable when it comes to what you're getting in the whole package.

Videography was something I knew I wanted for my wedding, but something I didn't have a huge budget for. Luckily, I was referred to Studio205films, and it was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. In the end, you are only left with memories, photos and if you're lucky, an awesome video. Peter went above and beyond on my wedding day, helping with things he totally didn't have to do. He helped make me feel relaxed, and it was fun having him and his crew around. And then....when I received my video, I couldn't stop watching it over and over again. I absolutely loved my video!!! It's something I can share with my family and friends, and most importantly, something I'll have for the rest of my life.

Videography was one of the items that we felt were optional for our wedding, but after a lot convincing from friends and family I couldn't imagine not having one for our wedding - and Peter was the perfect guy for the job. He was personable and professional and he added to the happiness of the day. He worked well with all our vendors particularly our photographer who gave us kudos on having chosen Peter as our videographer because he was so easy to work with. Before our wedding day, I would go to Studio 205 Films website and watch all the videos he had posted because it really made me look forward to my wedding, so it was a very special gift when Peter surprised us with a same day edit that he showed to us and our guests. It was the highlight of our night partly because it was unexpected but mostly because it was such a wonderful video. Now having been married 2 weeks - I'd have to say I watched the same day edit over 30 times! I'm so excited to see the final product! I'm so glad that we didn't forgo videography but moreso I'm glad that Peter was our videographer!

I work in entertainment. I've seen a lot of independent videographers. Til I met Peter, I would not have said "Wedding Video" and "art" in the same sentence. But man...this guy is GOOD. Go to his website, check out his work, and you'll understand why. The man uses 4, count 'em, 4 Canon Mark IVs to document your wedding! For those of you not familiar with them, the Canon is a DSLR that shoots digital video. Beautiful, filmic, amazing video! Our wedding looks like a freaking romantic comedy on Showtime! I cannot tell you how awesome his work is, but here's some specs: -4 cameras, with 2 operators and 2 on tripods. -Wireless lav mics, and sound recorded from the sound board/house mic. -wide open shutters capture footage cleanly and low-noise with minimal light. -best of all, he can do a same-day-edit, which our bridesmaids surprised us with, and played it at the end of the reception, capturing our day and making my wife unbelievabley happy! I can't say enough about this guy, but he's AMAZING, and worth every cent!
