Symboll® / Photo & Video

Had an awesome experience with them! The videographer was great during the wedding and got some really amazing shots. We LOVE the video they made for us. We had some edits we wanted after they showed us the first draft of the video and Misha could not have been nicer about it. He listened to all of our comments and did such an incredible job with the Final Cut of the video. We are so so thrilled with Symboll.

We've been working with Christian from Symboll on a package for our upcoming wedding, and he has made the entire process super easy to go through! He is willing to take the time out of his day at flexible hours to talk over details and answer any and all questions the best he can while making it easy for the couple to figure out what they need for their day. We felt comfortable working with him and getting to understand how everything would work out. We loved what we saw on their portfolio and are super excited to work with the rest of the Symboll team!

Symboll makes the booking process a breeze! I sent an inquiry and Christian reached out to me a few minutes later and we got on a call 10mins after. *It was Saturday night 9:30pm! At 11:30pm that evening I booked the photography and videography package. Christian is such a pleasure to work with- super transparent and knowledgeable. Can’t wait to see how the pictures/ videos turn out. Thanks all.

We cannot thank the Symboll team and our photographer, David, for the amazing job of capturing our engagement shoot. Before the shoot, we appreciated David taking the time to get to know us over a phone call and multiple communications leading up to the day. In addition, he remained very flexible till the last minute when we found out our initial idea wasn’t coming together because the flowers just hadn’t bloomed yet. His eye was incredible during the shoot and captured some moments we would never have thought of. He took his time, made us feel at ease, and made us shine. We are excited to continue working with him and the Symboll team for our big day later this year.

With a quick Google search of photographers, thousands of vendors popped up. I began to put their websites down on my spreadsheets & collected quotes, hours, number of photographers, etc. I came across Symboll & what drew me in was their website. It was so beautifully designed & everything was easy to navigate around. I am used to being the photographer & videographer for my friends & family, so I was looking for something extraordinary that I cannot create myself. I love story telling & art, so when I looked at their ABOUT page, I was floored. It was speaking to me! After looking around their site for 30 minutes, I called & didn’t leave a message because I was tired & it was the 11th call I did on a Sunday morning (April 7). A few minutes later, I received a text message from the number I called. It was Christian saying good morning & apologized for not being able to pick up our call because he was currently at a wedding, but asked how he may be of assistance to us. He asked when our wedding date was to see if it was available & fortunately it was! He asked us a few questions about how many hours of coverage we need for our date & explained some of the things they specialized in. He explained the RED camera they offer, but also allowed us to do our due diligence to decide what we truly wanted. The C2 package was popular, but after all my research, we ultimately decided to do the C3 package with add-ons for engagement shoot, drone, RED camera & full movie edit. We felt that this package would truly help capture all the precious moments that will live on forever not only in our hearts & minds but literally for the whole world & future generations of our family to see! I loved the cinematics & artful beauty of all their work. I watched all the videos & the RED camera was sharper than the normal one. It’s the same camera they use for Netflix & movies. I figured if we are paying this much for our wedding, we are going to have the best photographers & videographers. I’m definitely telling my kids & grandkids that our wedding video was “Crazy Rich Asians” LOL We texted Christian what we wanted & within minutes he sent us an updated quote & omg was it a great deal. Their standard hours of coverage were 2 to 4 hours more than all the other vendors I contacted. Their price was insanely competitive. They presented great previous work on their website. They also have an FAQ page which actually answered a lot of our questions. Their pricing was straight forward with no hidden fees. We had no travel fee because our wedding is located in their local regions. I was reassured that they have a close knit team of photographers, videographers & editors that work well together & it will not be some random Joe they found on Craigslist to fill the 3rd or 4th shooter position. Christian assured us that we will be meeting our lead photographer & videographer on our engagement shoot & also will have a meeting with them before our wedding. Christian was so easy to work with & was oh so patient with us & all our many questions. It felt like he was one of our friends wanting the best for us. He even helped advocate for us to get the best deals. We just signed our contract today (April 9) & paid the first portion of the total to secure our date! I cannot stress enough about how great Christian was to us & how excellent his customer service was. His patience & kindness knows no bounds. If you have made it this far into my review then I suggest you call or text Christian & mention Catherine & Henry hehe I am very skeptical about people texting me so I assure you that contacting that number will get you the best human you could ever speak to regarding photography & videography needs. I can’t even put into words how thankful we are for Christian’s help throughout this stressful process. He made it super easy & was never pushy or made us feel like he was upselling or forcing us to do something we did not want to do. I am so excited for our engagement photoshoot & wedding photos & video! THANK YOU CHRISTIAN!

We hired Symboll for our wedding and were lucky enough to have Josh as our photographer and Julio as our videographer. Josh and Julio were very professional and helpful in making our day go smoothly. In moments of minor chaos, they kept us calm and reassured us that all was well. When our initial photoshoot location fell through, Julio and Josh thought on their feet and came up with a plan B. They also helped us get some golden hour photos with friends and family. Although we have yet to receive the final pictures/video, Josh gave me a preview of some shots on the camera viewfinder - they looked amazing and I can't wait to see rest of the photos!

Planning a wedding is hard. Choosing a photographer and videographer is a critical decision for any couple. Individual photographers are busy and non-responsive. They can be flaky too. We went through a couple false starts before we found Symboll, and everything got easier once we did. They are incredibly organized, with a well-planned intake process and production pipeline. Their team approach and roster of shooters gave us a ton of confidence (versus hiring an individual photographer and hoping they're really going to show up!). At the event, the shooters all showed tremendous confidence in their work, which gave my wife and I confidence posing for them. (Such an important part of the process!) They were friendly, looked professional, managed our guests with courtesy and everyone was super impressed with the Symboll team. (The guests imagined we spent much more than we did, because they sent us an army - two photographers, a third photographer in training, and a videographer/drone pilot.) It will be a few weeks until we receive our packages (which we understood up front, and is expected) so I will come back and post our reaction to the final work when we get it, but so far, so great! You should definitely hire Symboll for your wedding or event. We couldn't be happier!

This review is purely for the service we received when first connecting with Symboll and working on coming to a decision to work with them. Our wedding is not until 2025 and we just signed a contract to work with Symboll for photography and videography. Christian was the main point of contact that responded to my initial reach out and he has been nothing but extremely understanding and helpful. We knew we were reaching out to a company that really puts out quality into their work and we had the expectations that it may be above our budget, which it was. However as we spoke to Christian more and more, he worked closely with us to discuss what Symboll can do to come within range. We are very excited to work with Symboll and will update this review with our experiences working with Symboll once we have our wedding.

We were extremely lucky to be paired with a top notch team for our wedding - photographer David Bowles and videographer Andranik Arutiunian! It was pretty warm on our wedding day, but David and Andranik were undeterred by the heat and still managed to get the best shots for us. They were creative with their shots, listened attentively to our suggestions, and went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable while still keeping up with the hectic wedding timeline. All in all, they are true professionals, full of passion for excellent photography and videography. Your wedding memories are in safe hands with them on your team!

Symboll has been the easiest booking we have done for our wedding so far, Christian went above and beyond to give my fiancé and I exactly what we were looking for. We can’t wait to work with them!

We are so glad to have found Symboll to be our wedding photographer and videographer. We wanted unique photos and videos with a clean editing style that wouldn’t appear overly filtered, and Symboll checked every one of those boxes. We opted for the C2 package with RED videography, which was priced incredibly competitively considering the quality of work. Additionally, it came with up to 10 hours of coverage by default whereas most other vendors we looked at typically offered 8 hours. Working with them was a breeze. It started with messaging their client managers Christian and Attila who broke down their transparent and simple pricing structure. After payment, they sent a helpful questionnaire not only to help Symboll get to know us, but also allow us to narrow down what we wanted. They were always super quick to respond to our questions, and we never felt lost along the process. We were ultimately connected with Shant as our photographer and Misha as our videographer, and we were so lucky to have them on our wedding day. Both were incredibly professional, kind, and overall joys to work with. Importantly, our wedding happened to fall on a day with suboptimal weather (end of March 2024). It rained heavily for much of the day, and we had booked a largely outdoor venue (Rancho Las Lomas). Despite this, Shant and Misha were incredibly flexible to the wet conditions. These unique circumstances also highlighted the strength of Symboll’s creativity, as Shant and Misha took advantage of the storm to create some incredibly cinematic shots of us. We were so glad to have chosen Symboll when we saw our photos, since we are confident that few other photographers/videographers would have been able to leverage our unfavorable weather conditions like Shant and Misha did. Because of the weather, they were unable to use their drone to capture our day, but they provided us with a teaser reel video in addition to our feature film. Final photos came out beautifully and the short film came back in such a timely manner. We are so happy with the results!

Working with Symboll and Christian throughout the booking process has been great and we’ve decided to proceed with them as our videographer and photographer for our upcoming wedding next year. They have been very responsive and helpful throughout the process clarifying anything we had questions on and providing all the information we needed to make our decision. Couldn’t be happier to move forward with them and will provide an update after the wedding!

We chose Symboll because we loved the samples of the wedding videos that were in their portfolio! We loved the cinematic’s and immediately wanted our video to be like that. We love how the Symboll style looks effortless and artful. Our photos seem to capture the moment in an authentic way while also looking ethereal and intimate. The way Symboll used an easy portal system to get to know you and where you can pick out many music options for your video. It was also nice to have talked to the team before the wedding to go over the final timeline! Our day-of experience was very smooth, the team was always right there when we needed them and they captured everything! Our experience was smooth and professional. Thank you Symboll team!

I had my wedding this past weekend and working with Symboll has been nothing short of AMAZING. I originally booked Symboll because of their unique photos that were candid and moody. I loved their style and didn't want regular photos that look like they can be taken from an iPhone. This was especially important to me given that my friends regretted hiring their photographers who didn't do a great job. Christian immediately reached out to me, provided many options for me to choose from, answered all my questions and provided me with a recent video they did at the exact same wedding venue as mine. Thereafter, I was assigned to Agata as my photographer and Andranik as the videographer. Working with them during my wedding was a dream. They were perfectionists, took charge, had a unique artistic vision for every single shot and made sure to capture the right dramatic shots. I loved loved loved working with them and cannot recommend them enough!!!! I am so excited to see how the photos and video turn out. I already know it's going to be incredible. I'll update my post once I get the photos. THANK YOU SYMBOLL!

WOW! From first contact with Christian to day of with Agata & Eugene to most importantly the final result we have been in AWE with the experience. Christian was SO easy to work with, so communicative. I probably texted him a million times (at all times) and he always responded. Agata and Eugene were exactly what my (NOW) wife and I needed the day of. There energy was great and made us feel extremely comfortable and genuine. They fit right in with the bridal party (and probably thought we were crazy, but went with it)! I was so impressed with the final video. I never had a "vision" for what the video would be, but once I saw it, I thought "this is exactly what I wanted". Can not recommend them enough. My sister has already booked them for her wedding in September.

Keith and Jake were exceptional! They understood my vision and took the time to get every shot asked for! They brought so much passion and energy to each event, and it was an absolute pleasure to be filmed and photographed by their team! Highly recommend this duo for your next wedding😊

David is great, captured a great moment for me and my fiancé

Kaleb and DeAnglo shot our wedding a few weeks ago! They made us feel so comfortable and did an amazing job! We also just got out preview photos back and they’re even better than we anticipated! Symboll does a good job of hearing what you like and picking the exact photographers who will deliver that!

Can’t thank Symboll enough for being there with my partner and I on our special day! We had the pleasure of meeting David, our photographer and Eugene, our videographer. They were prompt and got to business right away. They were creative, had really unique ideas of where to position the bridal party. I especially loved how hands on David was. He told us exactly how to pose, what body positions to do to make the shot seem effortless. We didn’t have to think about angles at all. He was an expert! Both had great attitudes and were such a pleasure to be around. Thanks for being there and braving the Palm Springs heat!

Symboll was so wonderful to work with. Their whole team was extremely helpful and professional. We couldn't ask for a better team to work with. Finding a vendor to trust for our big day can be stressful but Christian made the whole experience so easy!

I cannot recommend this wedding videographer highly enough! Not only were they incredibly friendly and a pleasure to work with, but they also produced a stunningly cinematic video of our special day. The quality of production and the emotional depth captured were truly remarkable, making us feel like we were reliving each moment all over again. If you're looking for a videographer who can create a beautiful, heartfelt memento of your wedding, look no further!

I just booked Symboll for my wedding, and I’m so impressed with how smooth the process was. Christian reached out to me right away, and he was so kind, professional, and truly went above and beyond to work within my budget. He really cares about making sure I get the pictures and videos I’ve dreamed of. I’m so excited to have them capture my big day and feel confident I’m in great hands! Highly recommend Symboll to anyone looking for an easy booking experience with a personal touch.

We were so happy that we have chosen Symboll as our wedding videography. Everyone in the team is very helpful and professional. Our video was so beautiful and unique. Thank you Christian, Ivan, Attila, and Misha. Like

The Symboll team we worked with was absolutely amazing. Not only are they so good with directions and making sure you get the vision you want but the guys we had on our day were just so fun and personable and made us feel like a million bucks. Our lead photographer Julio and lead videographer Dean were so fun to work with and would always hype us up when we got a really good shot to the point where it was hard to "focus" when we would do more serious or romantic glances but in the best way. They really took their time with our romantic shots and were also super receptive to our bridal party wanting specific photos as well. They also worked so well with our live painter so that they could send him the photo we selected so he had a good reference when working on our painting. All in all we loved working with this team and we cannot wait to see the final photos and the final video as well.

Symboll’s team of photogs & videographers were a pleasure to work with from the initial consultation to the post-wedding delivery of their work. Each team member was professional, friendly, and warm. They added to the magic of our Big Day and didn’t require any handholding or corrections. My wife and I were extremely pleased with their services.

Symboll caught our attention because of the dramatic flair in their style. It’s a mix of editorialized, artistic, and cinematic. Their videography draws you in with its unique combination of styles and keeps you mesmerized from beginning to end. The team really knows how to weave together a story in a short clip and showcase what matters to you the most. Our final video is every bit as sentimental and fun to watch as the day was to experience! Attila was a great help in coordinating the day!

We had the immense pleasure of having Shant Atarian as our wedding photographer and couldn't be happier with the results. His care and attention to detail and ability to capture the special moments of our big day was truly impressive. His photographs are absolutely stunning and not only reflect the joy and love of our wedding day but also honestly captured the essence of our friends and family. After shooting our wedding, to our surprise, we found out that Shant was actually a photographer we had admired on instagram for years prior. The serendipity of getting to work with him made the experience of working with Symboll all the more magical! We also loved our wedding film that was shot by John Mark who made us feel really comfortable in front of the camera. His positive and upbeat attitude was infectious and kept us smiling and laughing throughout the day! Such good energy! So so thankful to the videographers and editing team!!! Finally, we also appreciate the accommodation and patience shown to us by Attila and the Symboll admin team who were nothing but helpful and accommodating when we had a medical emergency that caused our wedding plans to change. I know our requests and circumstances weren’t the easiest to deal with, but they made it work seamlessly in ensuring we were happy at every step.

Highly recommend using Symboll for your wedding. The price matches the quality and we are very happy with the photos and video delivered for our wedding and reception. Very accommodating and easy to work with.

Very professional & caring. Effeminately recommended for those who want to have unique photos and videos for their wedding. Alex & Misha were the best!!!

We loved the team Symboll. They helped us to capture our wedding day as special and beautiful. The support team helped us out well before and after the wedding day. The photographer Keith and the videographer Misha were very nice and passionate about what they were doing, and the results turned out really beautiful! We truly appreciate it. They are very talented and awesome! All my concerns are solved thanks to the support team. We are satisfied 100%. I definitely recommend them to anyone who likes to capture and keep their special day like a movie. Thanks again to the team!

We had an amazing time with Symboll as well their staff is incredible they're so creative so artistic. Not only are they a delight to have around, the shots that they're able to capture is amazing. Somehow they we able to transfer the energy of the wedding event onto the big screen. We loved working with their entire staff as well as their sales team everyone from start to finish. It was incredibly smooth experience and we highly recommend them for anyone who is looking for professionals.

Symboll did amazing with our videography for the wedding day! Misha was our videographer and he was extremely nice & communicative. We felt taken care of & had a lot of trust in this team. Our 5 minute video was beyond our expectation!! We had so much fun filming & the product was better than we could have ever imagine. The editing team listened to all of our wants and needs and gave us the best memory we could have ever hoped for. They used the two songs that we requested, even with two different genres, and made the transitions seamless! We were also in love with our full day film. It was so fun to look back at all the little details of the day. Our wedding truly was a magical day & we are so lucky to have had Symboll capture that memory for us. They made it so authentic to our personality & really captured our love!! If you’re looking for a videographer, hire Symboll!

My wife and I had an outstanding experience with Symboll! From the early stages, their communication was excellent, which made it very easy to work out the details of our wedding. We did a three day fusion wedding (Indian, Chinese, Mexican), so we required several videographers and photographers. They sent us the best crew who covered every aspect of our events. A special shout-out to Misha (lead videographer) and Shant (lead photographer). Not only are they super kind individuals, they are masters at their craft, and are very open to feedback to ensure the final product is exactly what you want. As part of our package, we had an engagement shoot prior to the wedding and we worked with Shant and John-Michael. The photos came out eipic and were very editorial. These guys and their truly crew went above and beyond for us. I would highly suggest checking out Symboll if you are in search of a talented, professional, and friendly group to cover all your wedding media needs.

Great service provider .. Filmed our event and made it something to be proud of - Got it as recommendations from our cousin. Thank you guys.

We hired Symboll for our wedding and with covid raging, safety was our top priority. They delivered on all fronts! Everyone was tested, masked and a pleasure to work with. Christian did a fantastic job shooting our wedding and Jillian was always there if you had a question. Because we had a really short timeline with the venue, it was a tough event to shoot. Symboll nailed it every step of the way! I would happily recommend them to anyone and if you are considering hiring them, you should do it now!

We had the best experience with Symboll! Our wedding day was captured perfectly and the team were super friendly to work with. We used both photographers and videographers and we barely noticed them documenting the day which was exactly what we wanted. Communication was easy, plus they were extremely professional. They also had a really quick turn around with delivery time and we absolutely LOVE our footage. Thanks for giving us the perfect memories of our wedding day!

I just booked the Symboll For our wedding and it was the best experience. Christian helped me through every step of the booking process and was so helpful and kind! My initial inquiry was followed up with immediately and he helped me look at all of the packages and helped me build the perfect combination of photo and video for our event. Their portfolio is obviously impressive, but their customer service goes above and beyond! Thank you Christian for all of your help, we are so excited that Symboll will be documenting our day! We highly recommend choosing Symboll as your photographer/videographer!

Chris and I were able to put together our summer wedding on July 31st, 2020 in Paso Robles at CaliPaso Wine & Villa. We reached out to Daniel who owns and runs a team of fantastic photographers, videographers, and film editors. He really took the time to prepare and set up for our extraordinary wedding/elopement. We asked to have a live feed via youtube for our families overseas and he pulled it off using an iphone- only the wifi and cell service in the area wasn't great which they couldn't help, but no matter - I highly recommend a final video of the entire ceremony professionally captured by his high quality camera and audio setup. That was much more of a valuable, priceless capture. The short 2.5 minute trailer was created along with the longer version 22 mins of the story build up, the ceremony and the last champagne celebration part. Egor took the role of photography and he did an excellent job capturing all the critical parts of the afternoon and evening. His work was top notch and he made sure that we were getting the shots we asked for. They are both super friendly, but made sure they worked hard. They came a long way from LA to make sure we could make this happen. Chris and I loved the outcome of both the photos and videos. We have watched them dozens of times and felt this was a worthwhile investment for any couple who want to relive their wedding experience. Not only that their streamlined process of choosing the video music and website setup was easy and professional. Please take the time to see their channel and hire them! You won't regret it.

We opted for a pandemic wedding and boy, did Cinestory deliver! With safety being our top priority, it was so nice to know that everyone at Cinestory had been tested prior to our wedding. Dan, Jillian and everyone we spoke to was a pleasure to work with and in person, they never took their masks off. While we haven't received our photos and video yet (the wedding was just 3 days ago,) the shots that Dan showed me were spectacular. I'm sure the rest will be too :)

So here's my review as that of the groom. Cinestory is spot-on! The key things I really liked about them is that they are great communicators; any questions we had, they were more than happy to answer. And their answers were very helpful because of their experience and insight. They are very confident in the service they provide; they know exactly their style, look and abilities. I'm not a big fan when someone is wishy-washy in their answers, or changes their response based on what they think you want to hear. This team knows what their bringing to the table and because we knew what we wanted it worked out perfectly. They are social, friendly and easy going; you have to be able to maneuver under the circumstances of a wedding which means a variety of different people and personalities. You have to know when to ease back and when to step up and take charge. Cinestory had it. The final product was delivered in the amount of time and as agreed. We love our video and pictures and couldn't be happier. Thanks again Cinestory!

We loved working with our CineStory Films crew on our wedding day. We had the 8 hour combo package, with 2 photographers and 2 videographers. My husband and I are not the type to pose for photos/videos, but the CineStory crew made us feel completely comfortable and got us amazing shots. They captured our day beautifully and we were able to relive our perfect day when we received the highlights video.

what can I say! Dan and his crew were amazing. Me and my beautiful wife are not the type to glutton over ourselves in photos and videos. We just wanted a solid video for memories and of course to see our best friends and family. They did a spectacular job! made us feel very comfortable in our own skin no tricks or fakery : ) Really enjoyed their style of cinematic shooting as well, it was our lives turned into something beautiful, that still had the wedding touch to it. I highly recommend them as you would be lucky enough to have them film your very special day. thanks again guys!!! will cherish this forever

Fantastic team for our wedding photo shoot. Very professional and helpful throughout the entire process, from meeting with us to understand our vision, to coordinating seamlessly day-of, and following up with us after the wedding to ensure the final product was just what we wanted. We had both photo and video services- both were excellent, with top notch upgrades like drone footage and very high-end recording equipment to ensure that everything was captured wonderfully. Would highly recommend for any wedding.

I had a pleasure to have Owen (photographer) and Dan (cinematographer) at our wedding in May 2019, and I cannot thank them enough for their services. Before our engagement session with Owen, we had a lot of questions and were not sure of what we wanted. But he made us feel at ease and guided us through on our wedding day. Dan and Owen were good at giving us advice on how to pose, where to stand, and what to do with your hands; this was extremely helpful since none of us had a professional photo shoot experience! Communication was quick and on point with all the staff that I interacted at Cinestory, and they emailed us in between to check in on our plans and wedding timeline. The engagement photos were given to us in a week and the wedding pictures were sent to us in less than 3 weeks from our wedding. They are beautifully captured and tastefully edited. They were able to capture everything that was happening but also made sure the couple was pulled aside to take a breather and enjoy the moment. Just by going through the photos, we got to re-live the hectic but happy wedding day :) I am so glad that I was able to have them for our wedding, and I cannot wait till our wedding video comes out! Thank you, Owen and Dan!

We used Cinestory Films for our Engagement photoshoot and Wedding photographers and videographers which turned out to be nothing short of perfect. My husband and I connected with Owen and the team instantly. They made us feel very comfortable and at ease, especially on "the big day" which was much needed. The team was not obtrusive and overly in your face and made us feel like we can be ourselves while on camera. They are natural at capturing our most affectionate moments. The pictures and videos speak for themselves. Throughout the evening they moved like ninjas through the crowd and my husband and I did not even notice they were around us, capturing the most amazing photos and videos. Dan did an amazing job editing the video, which family and friends absolutely love! Dan's quick turn around time and unbelievable creativity still amazes us every time we watch the video. We highly recommend Cinestory Films to be at your wedding and give you the life long memories you will never forget.

Cinestory is an amazing team. We're extremely happy with all our photos and video. I keep watching the video even months after our wedding. And we've framed a lot of the photos as well as made some small books to send to family members. Everyone loves them. I can't thank Cinestory enough. Their wedding photography and videography is better than we could have asked for. Well done guys. We really appreciate it!

This review has been many months in the making, but I cannot miss an opportunity to tell the world how amazing this team is. When I was planning my wedding, our DJ encouraged us to reach out to Cinestory. They told us that Dan and his team were the most professional and high quality wedding photographers and videographers out there.... and they were absolutely right! Well before the big day, they spent time with us getting to understand our style as a couple during an engagement shoot - and making me feel comfortable in front of the lens. Owen Captures is a naturally warm and genuine person, and he put us both at ease so that he could capture our truest dynamic. Additionally, he provided such great direction (I never know what to do with my hands!) and chose gorgeous LA backdrops. His eye for detail is unparalleled, and among the many friends' photos I have looked at, I haven't seen the unique shots that we have. Our actual wedding day was so well-captured that I can't look at the footage without getting misty. Working with the Cinestory team was a worthy investment in timeless photos (and INCREDIBLE video) that is all we have to look back on. For those searching for a team comprised of true professionals who genuinely care about what they do and have the talent to match... there is no deliberating. Cinestory would be my number 1 recommendation again and again.

Cinestory amazed me with there high quality video and professionalism. So thankful my co-worker referred me to him. I don't think there's any other crew with as much patience as the Cinestory crew. I cannot thank Dan and his crew enough, I highly recommend Cinestory to anyone!

From the first meeting to the end product, my husband and I had a perfect service with CineStory Films. They were very easy going and made everything go smooth and amazing, they always listened to us, and always given us options to choose from. I highly recommend them for any wedding or event, I think their photography and videography are the best! Dan was a very nice person to talk to, and what's important, he is super entusiastic. We had some ideas on our mind, we wanted to make a video of all footage that we shot on our honeymoon and Dan did that, he is amazing! Even If you can't afford their fool packages, I really recommend getting their videography at least, believe me, you won't regret it. They have captured every important moment of my and my friend's wedding. Their customer service is quick and responsive, the quality of their videography is invincible for the price. I would encourage everyone who is thinking of getting a wedding video service to check out those guys. Thank you so much CineStory Films, 5 Stars!

My husband and I hired CineStory Films for our wedding in January 2017. All throughout the process, from the first meeting, until the end of our reception, photographers and videographers were nothing short of professional and thoughtful. Dan helped us plan our wedding timeline to the minor details, things that only photographers and videographers would know. Their team made my entire wedding party feel comfortable which gave them the opportunity to create such beautiful photos and videos. I highly recommend CineStory Films to be part of your special day to create memories you will appreciate for a lifetime.

Service with a smile! Great service with a smile, actually! Cinestory covered our wedding day impeccably. We saw their website on yelp and loved their style and work. When I talked to Dan, I knew this was the team for us. We hired them for a 10 hour package with one videographer and two photographers. Everyone was so nice. They were on-point and ready for anything to happen. In fact, I think because of how often they shoot, they knew it was going to happen before we did. I was a little stressed during the day because of a few issues, but they went above and beyond in their kind and professional manner. Helping me stay focused on enjoying my day and also staying focused when we needed to take pictures. We're so happy with the final video and photos we received. 10/10!

According to The Knot, the #1 thing you'll regret is not getting videography for your wedding. Right off the bat, we could tell that Dan was very passionate about his work. We loved his videography style and the great communication throughout our wedding planning. We had to add on a couple extra hours of videography and it was no problem for Dan. We're both extremely happy we decided to go with Cinestory and Dan. Our expectations were high, really high, and they were exceeded no doubt. Dan's video was truly the most beautiful wedding gift!
