IMF Visions - Hawaii Wedding Videography

This review is way over due! Our wedding was the end of April and IMF was unbelievably amazing with our first look, ceremony and reception. Ian is a true professional, patient, and his communication was great! Our meetings in person made us feel more and more comfortable with our decision to choose IMF as our videographer for our special day. Bruce, Rachel, and Tim's direction and focus on the day of the wedding made filming easy, and the way our same day edit came out was amazing!

We have watched it multiple times everyday since our wedding and we cannot get enough of it! IMF is a 5 star production company and we highly recommend them for any filming projects that you would need! Their professionalism and level of care they have for their clients show in the work they produce. We couldn't have made a better decision! Please don't hesitate in choosing IMF, you will not be disappointed! Thank you Ian and IMF team!

Ian and his team are amazing! I'm very awkward when it comes to posing and everything like that but they sure know how to instruct you so that you look flawless! They make you feel comfortable the entire time even though you know you have so many eyes on you! The same day edit they did for my wedding was so impressive as well! I had so many guests telling me how much they enjoyed it! I cannot wait to see all the other photos/videos from my wedding!

IMF Visions was worth every penny! We were so happy with the crew that did our photos and videos. IMF Vision crew was so professional and friendly. They made every accommodations possible to fit our needs. Ian and his crew had a real feel of Aloha and even pushed our party to stay on time. Ian always followed up with us before and after our photo shoots and made us feel like he really cared for us and our special day. Thank you again Ian and your wonderful crew.

Choosing your videographers is a huge decision to make especially with so many options out there to choose from. What helped me decide was by asking myself my top 5 qualities in a videographer: 1. Are they a great communicator or Do they respond in a timely manner? 2. Do they have the proper equipments to do the job I expect to see for example, like having a professional huge screen to play the highlights and having multiple professional grade cameras to have great quality? 3. Are their packages reasonable (don't have to be cheap but the price makes sense for what you're getting in return). 4. Are they genuine and nice people to work with (no dramas, but very supportive and patient). 5.

Will they still be around at the time of my event? Especially during the pandemic where a lot of businesses were shutting down or relocating, it was important for me to know that their business is going to last. After speaking with Ian over the phone, I knew I was going to work with them because he reassured me of all of my concerns and was able to work with my budget and sell be able to provide me with a customized package.

He was able to follow through until the very end! He's extremely professional and truly is passionate about his work and is willing to learn new things and get new technology to be able to keep up with the trend nowadays. Honestly, best decision I've made for my wedding! To our Videographers, IMF Visions, Ian and the team, you guys are fantastic! Your team is so creative, and works so well with each other that everything went smoothly. You made us feel safe and comfortable in front of the camera even though we're both camera shy, hahaha.

My fiance received a gift card from IMF Visions for a free proposal video after purchasing my engagement ring from The Wedding Ring Shop. When he bought the ring he was told he could use it towards an engagement session. So after the proposal, I called and tried to make arrangements. I spoke to the owner and he told me that they would honor the gift card with an engagement session but to shoot him a text because he was on the road at the time and he would get back to me, so I did.

Almost 3 weeks later, I followed up because I never heard back from anyone. Three days later, I received a text back apologizing and was told that they are extremely busy this time of year and the photographer just sent me a text. No text from the photographer that day and as of this post (one week later). This gift card may have been a deal they had with the Wedding Ring Shop when they were first getting started and now they don't need the exposure/business, I'm not sure. But I definitely won't hire them for any events in the future.

Ian and his team were absolutely amazing! They go above and beyond as far as their service and their work was everything we could hope for and more. They were flexible when it came to what we wanted and allowed us to customize our package. Ian provided great input and suggestions and really understood our whole concept. Pretty much whatever we requested, they found a way to make it happen.

The company as a whole was very professional and personable. We enjoyed all of their company and it just made things go that much smoother. Hiring IMF for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made and we did not have to worry about anything! Look no further then the team at IMF. I promise, you will not be disappointed. We couldn't be any more grateful to Ian and the team! Thank you Ian!

Ian and team at IMF Visions are the BEST of the best! If you read nothing else, read this-- He will see and deliver the greatest story of your day! Working with him was incredible. Not only in their cinematic production, but as professionals and kind, compassionate people. Ian filmed my sister's wedding a decade ago and when I got engaged in February of 2020 he was the first vendor I booked.

He is high in demand and worked with us as we moved each wedding date throughout the pandemic. He introduced me to many of the other vendors I hired (and LOVED) -- Wedding Planner 808, DJ Kurious, Party Pix Hawaii, and more. Ian filmed our Love Story and Cinematic (wedding day) Highlight, both of which were shown during our reception. He allowed me to say no to some good ideas that he presented with no pressure which is a really big deal.

He understood what I was asking for and never made me feel bad for asking for what I wanted. He and Janice (Wedding Planner 808) offered and arranged a live stream for both wedding and reception. Our final edit was amazing and he truly shared all the profound, fun, and loving moments of our day! He provided us with extremely professional photographers for our engagement shoot (Jeptha) and wedding (Eugene Kam).

My fellow brides.you will have the photos and videos for the rest of your life. IMF was the best choice for me and I highly recommend you hire them asap. Here is a link to our same day highlight played at our wedding reception: https://youtu.be/JPKkCfo0AWw Full Wedding Feature: https://youtu.be/Rn-w1Gn6wjo

Ian and crew have the best work ethics with professionalism and a high degree of quality when it comes to their clients needs and wants. Really down to earth people as well and they make the planning process as well as the day of you event very easy going with little stress. Highly recommended

IMF Visions is very professional. Although we missed some amazing details on our photos, the same edit video came out perfect. The whole team was very direct and tells you exactly what they want to see on the photos and videos. Amazing team and will definitely recommend them. Thank you for being part of my wedding day. Everything turned out perfect!

We were supposed to have gotten married before this pandemic, two weeks before our wedding the state shut down! During this pandemic Rescheduling this wedding three times was overwhelming and frustrating. Ian was very accommodating, very understanding, very patient, listened to all my concerns and stressors. Looking at all my wedding photos and also video of my wedding I can honestly say he knew exactly what I wanted and captured the true essence of the love KYLE and I share. Ian and his staff is very well organized and captured all the details of my wedding. Thank you Ian for everything!

Ian and his team were the best we have ever worked with! It makes special moments like our 17 year vowel renewal that much more special when you are surrounded with good people that take such pride and professionalism in their work! Thank you so much! Please pick IMF Visions for your videos and photography

Ian from IMF Visions and his staff are an amazing group to work with. From the start and continued throughout the whole planning process Ian is so easy to work with. His staff always had the best vision when it came to filming and it really shows throughout our highlight and in our cinematic feature. We are so happy with our decision to go with a videographer and even more happy with our choice of hiring IMF Visions. Thank you, IMF Visions, for the memories that'll last us a lifetime.

THEY ARE AMAZING! So very nice, accommodating, professional, and just amazing at their work. I'm so happy I chose them to do my wedding video. They did everything I could ever imagine and more. If you're debating on hiring a videographer for your wedding, think no further and hire IMF visions right now! You will not regret it, I promise.

We worked with Ian and IMF team to record our parent's burial service at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. It was produced to allow family, who couldn't make it in person, to view the service. IMF did a spectacular video that captured the beauty of the Punchbowl and the full military honors that was provided to our dad and mom. The cinematography, music and program edits made this video a family keepsake to treasure! Thank you to IMF!

We worked with IMF for our videography (edit and live stream) and they were amazing. All around, such a seamless experience. Our wedding had to be much smaller than it likely would've been without COVID, so a good live stream was extremely important to us. The audio was so clear, the multi-camera video was excellent and our family and friends who watched all felt like they were there with us. Then without request, our edit was turned around in less than a week! So thankful for the IMF team for making our day even more special.

First, I would like to thank Ian and his team of professionals for accommodating us on several date changes due to the challenging issues with COVID and Hawaii's guidelines. We first scheduled our wedding for 2020, but we had to cancel. Ian had gratefully allowed us to postpone the wedding until any date in 2021. We faced many challenges on the date, I remember emailing Ian on several occasions on dates, and he was able to switch many times on those dates.

While we were there in Hawaii, the communication with him and his team was fantastic. On the date of the wedding, we chose YouTube to live as we decided to elope. Our families enjoyed our special moment back here on the mainland. Afterward, he made a fantastic wedding clip on YouTube and Instagram. I couldn't be happier. I want to thank you, Ian, and your team for making this wedding a dream. If this doesn't convince you, check out their youtube videos!

The IMF Visions team were great to work with! Jeptha did our engagement photos and made us feel comfortable real quick and delivered us the proofs in a timely matter. The day of the wedding they were awesome! Making their visuals and ideas come to life. We didn't catch their names who worked with us during the wedding, but we would like to extend our greatest gratitude to them! Ian and his team are fun and proactive.

Ian and the team were amazing! They worked with us through necessary changes due to covid and were so communicative. They made us feel comfortable while filming and did a great job getting footage without being invasive during the ceremony. We had so much fun getting some very creative drone shots with our bridal party. The final edited video turned out so stunning and romantic. We're so glad we chose IMF visions to preserve our special day and so thankful they gave us memories that will last a lifetime!

I had the pleasure of working with Ian and his team for my job, and had a great experience! My top compliment is about the care they put into the production and final product. We were looking for a vendor for events and video production. Ian and his team needed to adjust and adapt to the current COVID times, and I think they've succeeded. Also, their turnaround time for the production of a video is quick! If you're looking for a down to earth team that actively listens to your vision of what you want, then give IMF Visions a chance!

I worked with IMF Visions to create PAAC Hawaii's first-ever virtual gala video. Ian was fantastic to work with- very personable with great insight through every step of the process. It was evident how much pride they take in their work. They were committed to making sure the gala video matched our non-profit's mission and vision, while also being engaging for our viewers. We got so many compliments on the quality of the production! I highly recommend their services.

IMF Visions has given us the BEST experience possible! We are so thankful to have them capture our special wedding day! Regardless of the pandemic they were there for us and we're so nice to work with! Even the photo booth was amazing! All our guest had a great time taking photos! They made us feel comfortable and helped us throughout the day and really made our wedding a memorable one! They even captured such BEAUTIFUL engagement photos! We love you guys so much and we greatly appreciate you guys!

Booking IMF Visions was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They book up quickly, so we were lucky they were available, and Ian was so responsive, honest, and supportive throughout the whole planning process. We always felt like a priority and had full confidence in Ian and his team the day of our wedding. Though it was a busy day, they were able to capture all our special moments and make an incredible same day edit. Ian and his team are passionate, talented, and professional, and we can't stop watching the video they created for us! It didn't feel like a cookie-cutter product - they really try to capture the energy of their couples and tell a story to match their vision.

We just had a destination wedding in Honolulu in May 2018 and hired Ian and his team as our wedding videographers and so happy we did. During the whole wedding process, Ian is one of the easiest vendors to work with! He is super responsive. During pre-planning Ian was able to meet with us and see the venue during the short time we were there in Jan.

We went over our vision and discussed the game plan and our only homework from him was to pick a song we want to use in our video (if we cared about the music). We sent him the song 1 month prior to the big day. On the day of, Ian and his team showed up on time and beautifully captured our wedding ceremony. We definitely think it's worth including the drone shots - it was one of my favorite part of the video seeing our guests and the venue from up top.

It is breathtaking. It took less than a month to get our video and I am impressed with how it turned out, especially how they were able to edit the footage to the song nicely! Again, I highly recommending including the drone shots into your video, especially if you are outdoors. Our wedding venue was at Alohilani Resort at the rooftop lounge area. We are happy to have found IMF Visions and am impressed with the overall experience and our wedding video. :D THANK YOU!

Ian and Bruce's crew provided their videography services on our wedding day in January 2018. You have to be open minded, accepting that it's worth it because your wedding day is one of the most important events in a persons lifetime. Videography is being Able to tell the story of Love and relationship and capturing the moments for you and your significant other. IMF visions didn't fall short of that.

Love story- basically the love story option is what you and your partner tell, in all regards, the love story on how you met, why you love each other, and all that jazz. I think that was one of the most fun parts of working with IMF, is the love story. You can choose your music that want, they have questions they ask and you just honestly answer. It's your love story, depends how you want to tell it it's totally up to you.

We loved it. We watched it numerous times on Vimeo. Wedding day and Same day edit- it may sound cliche, but to be able to capture time in a day, your day, I think that's important because we forget as time passes by. And shooting a video on your wedding day, you won't ever regret it. Me and my wife still watch it but not as much, and we're so glad IMF Visions caught that important day for us. We got 4 DVDs on blue ray, and we watch it occasionally.
