This was the easiest part of my Bat Mitzvah planning. I called Gary panicked when two weeks before the party our montage had not been created. He was so patient, walked me through all the steps and even showed me how to do all the computer work. I thought it would be so difficult and he made it so easy. The final product surpassed my dreams. I absolutely love it and our family was blown away. Thank you so much!

I have not enough words to THANK Gary for his amazing work. You created a life lasting memory for Daniella's photo montage. You absolutely have a unique talent to make each photomontage unique. The 3D opening is absolutely unique and perfect for her event and the ending with mosaics has the perfect touch to conclude the photo montage. Thank you so much for an amazing/unique video. T

Amazing! Gary, the owner was so professional during my booking & follow up emails. Having a destination wedding can be very rough on any bride so it can be tough to judge someone thru an internet site. But let me tell you Gary's team was spot on with every detail of my wedding. We can't wait to see our video & have a follow up review. We're positive it's going to be amazing! Thank you Gary!

Gary, the owner, is absolutely amazing! I called him up a week before my children's b'nai mitzvah panicking because I didn't have a montage (the first one I got from another company was terrible). Gary immediately said that he could help me and not to worry. He made the process of sending the photos and creating the most amazing montage so easy and we cannot stop watching it. The pricing is extremely fair and he was an absolute pleasure to work with! Thank you so much!

We hired Video Keepsakes as our videographer for our 4/712 wedding at the Bel Air Bay Club. We are so happy we did! Both Gary (owner) and Charlie (videographer) were great to work with! Charlie was super awesome at the wedding. He helped out with everything. Even helped my coordinator out with things! He had a smile on his face the whole night and was a ton of fun.
We received a lot of compliments from our guests about Charlie. Best of all, our video was in the mail before we had gotten back from our honeymoon! Thank you Video Keepsakes for memorializing our wedding in such a beautiful way!

Video Keepsakes did our slideshow for our reception and they did an excellent job! Gary the owner even put up with me being a super pain in the ass changing things a million times. I appreciated it so much! He seems to know it's stressful being the bride : Their work is very professional and amazing! They use graphics that you've never seen and really know what they're doing.
I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fabulous slideshow for their wedding! Their slideshows are not the boring typical ones. they're amazing and keep the crowd's interest the whole entire time. Video Keepsakes went above and beyond for my husband and I and we were so thankful!

Using Gary and the team at Video Keepsakes was one of the best choices we made during our entire wedding process. Originally when we were doing costs we just didn't think we could afford a video team and a photographer. Once we got closer to the event I really started to want some sort of video of the wedding. (You're spending so much on the day it seems silly to not have good documentation of it.) Plus after experiencing being in a wedding now it goes by so quickly you can't really process it all at the time.
I work in the film industry and so it was very daunting to find someone that fit our price range and had the quality that I'm used to. We were so lucky to find Video Keepsakes. Gary is very professional and a great communicator, fast to respond and very honest. We just received our completely edited video three months after the wedding (Right when they said it would be ready).
There are so many moments that I'd either forgotten or missed the day of that I'm so happy were caught on film. Their cameraman was punctual, very nice and unobtrusive to the activities. Honestly I'm not sure how he got some of the beautiful shots that he did, because they seem to intimate but I never felt pressed or staged at all. I think Video Keepsakes is an amazing quality for a great value and you'll be so thankful to have those memories captured on film.

After interviewing multiple videographers to shoot my wedding we chose VKI. They have a great website which showcases tons and tons of their prior videos. My husband and I met with Gary and his wife at their home to discuss which package we wanted. He has a lot of experience filming all day weddings ie. Chinese/Vietnamese weddings. He created a customized package for us and showed up on time to the tea ceremony and stayed through the open dance portion of the night. Gary was good at directing my bridal party on how to pose.
We received our videos about 3 months after the wedding. We were extremely happy with the recap/highlight video. Unfortunately I made the mistake of only asking for one person to shoot my wedding, so we missed out a lot because there is only so much that one videographer can capture. I highly suggest that you pay more for 2-3 videographers to capture all the special moments of your wedding.

With our final copy in hand, I still think Video Keepsakes are some of the best videographers around. They incorporated the music we wanted, the scenes we wanted, and edited the whole thing into a complete work of art. Money well spent. there's no way to put a dollar amount on the way they captured our wedding.

Gary, the owner, is awesome. We hired him for our wedding in '09 and he sent out Bruce and another girl to cover our wedding day. They were great; very professional, on time, stayed through the end of the wedding (I think this may have been longer than we contracted them for). Gary is sensitive to budgets and really worked with us to customize a package that we could afford.
He was so kind, flexible and reasonable we even referred him to a friend who was also getting married at the same time and they booked him for their wedding and loved him as well. Gary met with us and walked us through samples of coverage and made us feel comfortable signing the contract with him (no pressure). The final product, the video, was great.
He was able to turn it around in time for us to give it as gifts for the Holidays. He captured all the "must-see" moments and also edited out some falls and embarrassing moments (thanks Gary!). We're very happy with the services he provided and would (and have) recommend him to anyone.
