Amari Productions

y worked together so well. They made sure to always give us our space while still managing to capture every important moment. Watching the video they made felt like reliving the day all over again. I was in tears instantly. Also huge bonus that they somehow managed to make me look like the star of a romantic comedy!? So iconic. We will treasure this video of our union and all our loved ones for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Amari!

te would be to tell them to follow you around and not be swayed by your guests... especially if you know you have guests who will try to "steal" your videographer. Unfortunately, I forgot to communicate this to our videographer. My family "took" our videographer and he ended up filming my family on the dance floor (instead of me and my husband lol) while we were doing a nighttime photoshoot outside. Other than that small hiccup, Chris was a pretty chill guy to work with and I would recommend him!!

em and another vendor(how dare I think twice about them). Their consistency in follow ups was the right amount, they were so patient with my lack of responses and were kind enough to hold our date as I worked through things.  I can’t believe I even thought twice about them. Their work is phenomenal. Let’s start with our videographer Corey, he stepped into any room and calmed the chaos. He has a true eye for good shots and knew exactly the right moments to film. There’s people who are gifted and there’s people who try to be skilled. Corey is absolutely gifted. He truly has an eye for this and is such a natural.  He helped mitigate a lot of the frenzy and was still able to capture everything so organically. He was on time, read all my notes ahead of time, dressed professionally and had an overall great presence. He worked insanely hard on our wedding day and went the extra mile with so many things. I would hire Corey a million times over, given the chance. Thank you Corey!  We had a second videographer who was there for a few hours and took all the groom shots. He was also phenomenal as well and our groom shots came out great! I just didn’t see him much as I was with Corey most the time.  Leading up to the wedding, the teams communication was above and beyond. They always responded so quickly, gave answers the best they could and tried their best to work with us in anyway they could.  Now let’s talk about the actual content! We received the sneak peak a few days after the wedding and it was so cute!  The 30 min feature film makes everything worthwhile. They captured all the core memories so perfectly. Everyone looked so beautiful, the sound system they used was great quality, the video quality is amazing and they blended the clips so perfectly. Every moment, they captured the lighting well, the angles, it was just perfection! I seriously was in awe and felt like I got to relive my wedding day over and over! I don’t know if they intentionally did this but they sent it to me on my birthday and it was the best video to watch!  I searched high and low for different pricing and inclusions and Amari productions was a very fair price for what they offer. In fact, it’s a steal with how good their work is. They also give you all raw footage which is an extra perk. Service - 10000/10 Communication - 10000/10  Skills - 10000/10  Coordination - 10000/10  Content - 1000/10 Literally 0 issues and all extraordinary!! 

n Oceanside wedding in Southern California, it made the most sense for us to go with folks that were from the same company for smoother communication and coordination. For the most part, working with Amari was pretty streamlined once we reached out that we were interested. A discovery call was set and from there we signed our contract and used their website portal to answer questions of what we were looking for in terms of vibes for our videography and photography. I loved how detailed the questions were. I remembered one question asking something along the lines of “anything we should know about the couple,” in which we had shared that I had divorced parents and my partner had a parent pass. I think this question is super important as we’ve had in the past (during our City Hall ceremony) hired a photographer who did not ask this detail and found out in an awkward situation that my parents were divorced (they are not lovely dovey with each other). After our wedding, we got our photos and videos back in 2 months. Our wonderful team, which included Ray and Kiley for photography and George and Cassie for videographers were amazing in capturing our day. They were easy to work with and I have no complaints! I will say, one thing that wasn’t included but my partner and I advocated for was to have a scheduled call with the team lead to review the timeline and how the day will go. As someone who planned their wedding for the first time and hosted ~100 guests, I wasn’t sure what the expectations were or how to navigate the timeline I’ve created with our wedding planner in collaboration with Amari. I’m glad my partner advocated for us to schedule a call with them and we were able to talk through what we wanted to prioritize with our timeline. Other than this, overall our experience with Amari was smooth and easy. We are happy with the result and would recommend working with them for your events!
