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.

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

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 foot... Read moreage 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.

According to Wedding Wire, 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!

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 y... Read moreou so much CineStory Films, 5 Stars!

Here’s the good, the bad, and the ugly: the Cinestory team rocks! We engaged with them to take our engagement photos and our wedding day photos. They did not disappoint! For the engagement session, we flew one of the photographers up to the San Francisco Bay Area where we live and he recommended a few great spots to take photos. We coordinated schedules with him directly and we booked his flight. Cinestory was very flexible with us and communicated dates well ahead of time, which allowed us to work out the flight details. He brought a healthy gear with him for the session and gave us advice on what kind of shots typically work best and don’t work best. If you as a couple have ideas on where you want to go and what you’d like your photos to look like (poses, angle, etc... ) feel free to share that with them and they will accommodate. After the engagement session, the Cinestory team gave us the edited photos faster than expected. The pictures were excellent! In preparing ... Read morefor the big day, we had a planning session with them a week before to make sure they knew the exact location, time, needs, wants, nice to haves, yada yada yada. On the day of, they arrived early (which was a big help because other vendors arrived late, causing me - the groom - to momentarily become a groomzilla). Anyway, they arrived early, were dressed appropriately, and began to work right away. After they canvassed the wedding venue site, they came back to us and proposed a few places suitable for the first look. We did a first, second, and third look for photos, angles, and the drone (the drone shots look A-M-A-Z-I-N-G). The team was also great at making sure we enjoyed the moment, particularly during our couple-only pictures. As you will learn, wedding days are hectic and everyone wants to talk to the bride and groom leaving little to no alone time. The photographers were great at making sure we had space to take it all in by pulling us to the side here and there — this allowed them to take amazing shots and it gave us (the couple) time to enjoy our wedding day just the two of us. The photographers also worked wonders with our families and friends. They were funny and kept us entertained while they took pictures. Additionally, one of them spoke Spanish, which was really helpful since many of our family members only speak Spanish. All in all, we paid for the extra time and we had them for the entire day. I’m not sure how they were able to keep up with us from the very morning until after the sparkler exit. The pictures came out beautiful and we could not have asked for a better team to record our memories. Side story: we had a very good feeling from Cinestory after our engagement session that we recommended them to our friend, who threw two weddings, yes, two! Cinestory did both of their weddings and they too, picky bunch, had nothing but amazing things to say about their photos, videos, and overall experience. Highly recommend!

I found out about CineStory Films from my friends, and after checking out their work me and my wife decided to call them next day. We met in a coffee shop, Dan was very polite in answering our questions, and helping planning the wedding plan. We went with photography and videography with a second shooter. To be honest, I did't even think about getting a videography before seeing some of their highlights videos, and after all I am really glad that we got it. The pictures came out amazing, and relatively quickly, as well as the video. The quality is really high end. We made an album later, it's like a magazine. Every time we show the video, everyone asks what kind of cameras the videographers used, cause it's just so good. They just know what they are doing, and most importantly, they do it with passion. Thank you CineStory Films! I would recommend you to everyone!

They were a pleasure to work with. We used them for both of our weddings, Nigerian traditional (Southern CA) and our regular wedding(Northern CA). They were great with directing everyone and keeping us focused when stress ensued. The quality of their work was impeccable. Our wedding party and guest are still talking about Cinestory and loved the pictures and videos. It was a great experience and we are recommending them to all our friends and family. To be honest, we can't wait to have another event to use them at. They have different pricing packages and are well worth the money. They captured everything. We are now able to relive our wedding day every time we look at our pictures or watch our video.

I proudly give a 10 out of 10 for this superb team. Our engagement shoot was awesome. Meetings and questions? Awesome. Communication? Awesome. Personal insight? Awesome. Speed on return of images? Awesome. The day of... absolutely amazing. And do we now have pictures that will last a lifetime? Yes, indeed! We want to thank Cinestory for their great work in all aspects of our wedding coverage. We now have an incredible video and collection of beautiful photos that we can look back on for years to come and share them with all of our friends and family who love us. It'll be truly unforgettable!

THey was very accommodating to all questions and requests from the beginning. I have to say that I always had a dozen questions for him, but he was always very responsive to both emails and phone calls throughout the process. Dan and his team's talent truly showed in the highlight reel film that he made. If anything, make sure you buy this as part of your package. Our friends and family loved it! I would highly recommend Dan to anyone looking for the best bang for their buck!

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!

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!

Overall, I recommend CineStory Films! Their pre event communication was good, learned enough about us to make sure they covered the must-haves on the Big Day! They sent 2 photographers and 2 cameramen, and worked with us from 2-10:00pm that day. After about 6 weeks I got the photos and a wedding film. I wanted to cut a different version of the film myself, so I asked for all the raw material, which was sent to me quickly too. The only imperfection was that I found shots did by one of the cameramen were not good enough, they were either too short, too dark, or not steady. But if I did not ask for all the raw material, I would not see them. Meaning, the team definitely captured enough to cut together a beautiful film for me. And I’m sure they will for future clients too.
