    Amber and Brian are the absolute BEST! Having them as the videographers at our wedding was the smartest investment we could've made, because the memories they provided us with are priceless. First of all, we didn't even think of how important it would be to choose people who you would enjoy hanging out with on your wedding day- but you spend a significant amount of time with them and they were so sweet and fun to be around all day- we feel like they're now friends! The highlight video they made for us really brings everything to life and brings us right back to our wedding day- they nailed the emotions and vibe of the day and it makes me cry every time. It is extremely high quality and professional! They put SO much time and care into their work and they so genuinely want to make it the best they can. When we had some edit requests, they went through all of the footage with me to find exactly what we were looking for and make sure it was perfect for us. I cannot recommend Memory Machine Films enough- you will not regret having them at your wedding!!

    Memory Machine Films is all you need for your entire wedding :) Kidding but serious. Amber & Brian were phenomenal! So polite, adorable, fun and unreal talented. We had some rather interesting request and they accommodated with no problem AND surpassed every "want" we had in our trailer video. We have not yet received the full video but you know there's talent when a 60 second clip can bring tears to your eyes. If I did anything right in wedding planning, it was hiring Memory Machine Films. From one (previous) bride to another, you are making the right decision by trusting these two to shoot your entire day!

    This is simply a solid team! They arrived early, they were easy to work with, they had no egos, and they are really TALENTED! There is really no reason for me to talk about their talent too much because you can just check out the work on their site... Ummm, yeah... Do that (if you haven't already) and then come back here to continue reading the rest of this review..... LOL!!!! As you can see, it's really good stuff with a nice dramatic/cinematic feel that is not over-the-top. They really capture the essence of the event in a very visually appealing way (I mean, that's pretty much what everyone wants, right?)... Best of all, they offer great value with their packages and they're flexible enough to adjust a few things if need be. Another thing that stood out to me in a good way was how thorough they were - always in constant communication with everyone involved (The couple, the planner, the DJ, etc.) so they never missed important moments. Yeah, I'm that guy that notices little things like that (I've been in the industry for a while). They really put forth an effort with a will to please. A lot of people don't talk about this (or notice this either), but as I conversed with one of the videographers about their process and work on the day of, I noticed quite a bit of backup equipment and additional measures that were taken.... Just. In. Case. No, this doesn't always make a difference in the final product, but you would be surprised how many people in this business don't take these additional measures and the clients end up without the video memories they hoped for because of equipment malfunction (without backup). From what I could see, this team had it covered. Peace of mind is always nice. One more thing... The two main people behind this operation share the same last name. They're a couple! How awesome is that!? They probably have such great perspective on what the couples that hire them are looking for, because they have been on both sides of this process. Anyways... They're friendly, talented, thorough, and very reasonable. You'll have a hard time finding better value than this. You can try or just save your time and call them after you read this, haha!
