Bay Area Wedding Videography By Bay Area ViDeO Production

Dom is incredible!! I did a lot of research trying to find the right videographer, and feel so thankful to have found Dom! He is passionate & energetic about capturing the special moments of each wedding he films. When I first met with him, he walked me through all of the specifics of each package, and showed me samples of his portfolio. His energy & excitement for what he does was infectious, and I knew he was what I was looking for. He was very easy to work with throughout the process, and made sure to follow up on any information he needed from me. On my wedding day, we barely even noticed Dom & his crew; they really keep a low profile. However, after watching our highlight & music video, I was amazed to see all of the moments Dom had captured and edited together so perfectly! He truly is an artist and I will cherish the videos forever! If you are debating about hiring a videographer - do it! And definitely hire Dom/Bay Area VDO!

We found Dom online for our wedding on July 30 2011, we loved that he had so many positive feedback from his customers who were happy with the outcome of their videos. We met up with him at his house to discuss the possibility of having him shoot our wedding. He was so kind and passionate about his work and we knew immediately after meeting with him that we wanted him to capture our big day. We are from Ethiopia and weddings are Huge and 15-16 hrs long. The day of the wedding Dom and his staff came on time and they were very professional and all of our guests were impressed by their professionalism. Dom was so much fun to work with and his work is Amazing. Today we met up with Dom to pick up our wedding video and he is still so kind and passionate about his work. We were so happy and touched by his generosity. Our wedding day was 16 hours long and he captured all the special moments ( especially all the dance because we Ethiopians love to dance). We got home and we watched all the DVD that he gave us total of 5 hours and we were Amazed and Happy. His work was beyond our expectation and our wedding was Beautiful and a blast. He captured every aspect of our Ethiopian culture and he did not leave anything that was important to us out of the video. He went above and beyond to capture our wedding day and we are forever grateful for the wonderful memories that he gave us. Dom we love you and thank you. We highly recommend Dom and his crew to film your wedding because they are the BEST.

We felt comfortable with Dom from the moment we first met. He was very friendly and professional, and took the time to show us a lot of examples of his work. Dom also took the time the day before the wedding to walk through the church in preparation for our big day. We picked up our DVDs a few weeks ago, and we couldn't be happier with them. They're getting a LOT of use...it's rare that a day goes by that we don't watch at least a short clip!

Originally my fiance and I didn't budget for a videographer, but 1 month before the wedding I changed my mind. Let me tell you... it was ABSOLUTELY THE BEST decision of my life!!! (Aside from getting married, of course.) I had to convince my fiance that we needed to come up with additional money, and he was really against it since we were already spending a lot of money on our photographer. When it was all said and done, my husband told me "You were right!" We LOVED how the dvd turned out and it couldn't be any more perfect!! There was soooo many details that we missed on the day of the wedding and Dom captured ALL of it. I spent a whole year of my life planning every little detail of our wedding and the day goes by so fast. Now I actually have something to watch and remember all of those little details. Working with wedding vendors can be a pain in the butt... but Dom was the easiest person to work with!!! He was super flexible when we were trying to schedule appointments, he always responded to emails quickly, he was very professional, and on top of all that Dom is just a great guy! I was a little concerned because he works with a team of people that we didn't get to meet beforehand, but Dom's entire team was really professional, they were all dressed appropriately, friendly to our guests, and were not intrusive at all. On the day of the wedding Dom and his team showed up right on time and we hardly noticed them all day. In the final editing of the video, Dom went out of his way to include little details from our wedding day. Dom did an exceptional job!!! To be able to watch our video and hear the laughter, to hear our wedding vows, to hear my sister's heart-felt toast... each of those special moments is captured forever and I can feel the emotion every time I watch it. You can't capture the same emotion in a photograph. I HIGHLY recommend Dom... you will not be disappointed!!

Dom and crew exceeded our expectations! They not only provided us a phenomenal wedding DVD, but also an exceptional experience all around. I spent a lot of time planning our wedding, and researched many different videographers. Bay Area VDO Production had the package, quality and creativity we were looking for at a competitive price. On the day of the wedding we hardely noticed their presence, yet, somehow, they caught every intimate moment. Dom was very attentive from my first inquiry all the way through final delivery. I would highly recommend VDO to anyone!

What can I say about Dom and his team that hasn't already been admittedly it's hard! Coming from a production background, I was looking for someone who could live up to my standards of video creation. I not only wanted everything filmed in HD, but also wanted to be able to get a Blu-ray disk and had some special needs as well--all on budget, of course. Dom delivered this with pizazz! Even though he is not Indian, he captured all the important parts of my Hindu ceremony and divided up the chapters perfectly. His editing to music is superb, and I very much enjoyed the music video and fun lip-dub that he produced! My wedding was cold and wet (gotta love that November rain!), but Dom's video team worked like pros despite the crazy conditions. Bay area VDO made everything seem even more beautiful than I remember, and I would recommend them to anyone, even the nit-pickiest of brides. Trust me, just tell Dom how you want to remember your wedding day and he will make it happen. I appreciate the effort he put into understanding my culture and making a video that I will cherish for a lifetime. It was even covered in my favorite wedding site, Maharani Weddings- http://www.maharaniweddings.com/maharani/2011/03/music-video-by-bay-area-videography.html

Why spend your money elsewhere? Just ask Dom to give you one example of his work. You will look no further! I especially like Dom's way of explaining and very thoroughly going through the work he's done. It confidently gives me the impression that everything on the wedding day will be alright! This is one thing I didn't want to skimp on because of the fact that I had enough things to worry about (aside from saying "I Do").

Our wedding was a hindu ceremony with many details and Dom captured them all in a beautiful and elegant manner. The wedding area was in a very tight space, and we were amazed Dom was able to get all different angles, faraway, close ups, and normal. He also incorporated all my requested songs in the dvd with smooth transitions and finesse. There was a remix clip which captured the entire wedding, and a brief toast interviewing some of the guests. These were unexpected pleasant surprises. Thanks, Dom! He is very talented and very thorough. He was able to customize the dvd with my requests with excellent quality blu rays in beautiful packages. We had also been lazy throughout to collect all our dvds and he kept reminding us, to pick them up as had already paid for them.  I highly recommend him. He is an expert with the camera and wonderful to work with.

Dom's work is not just a video. It's a work of art, truly beautiful. It was more than my and husband's expectations. Even the sample video he sent in advance was professionally made. When I asked Dom to move up the delivery in time for my second reception, it arrived before the promised date, with a few days to spare. And the leather cases were an added touch. When I made the contract with Dom, I never saw his work. Being that it was a destination wedding for us and we live in the east coast, I had to put my faith in him that he will do as he promised. The whole thing was simply classy.

As we were planning our wedding, we never factored in a wedding videographer into our budget. However, after long debate with our families we decided that it was imperative to get video because truth be told, the day goes by so fast, that we will never have an opportunity to relive those moments in time. My wife and I tend to cross reference everything we purchase so when it came to finding a videographer, Bay Area VDO Production was actually one of many possible videographers we considered. After meeting Dom in person, we were both sold. His professionalism, promptness, and easy to get along with attitude made us both feel at ease in our decision. He also was happy to work within our budget. After our meeting, I remember telling my wife how happy and confident I feel with Dom and I think it was one of the better decisions we made in our wedding planning process. Weeks before the wedding, Dom would send us emails reminding us of song selections and always asking us if we had any other requests or questions. I appreciated the fact that he was on top of this and it made our lives a little easier without having to worry about something else for the big day. On the day of the wedding, Dom and his assistant showed up on time and began filming. They filmed the entire day and were not intrusive. Most of the time, we even forgot that they were there filming! After the honeymoon, Dom provided our wedding footage and music video on time as promised. The packaging was beautiful as well! Dom has an amazing talent and was able to edit the raw footage into a wonderful edited video for us. He used mostly music that we selected, and it all blended together so nicely! The music video montage was excellent as well. He knows how to draw the viewers into the moment as if they were living it. I can not stop watching our wedding music video. I feel like I am in my own movie and it's a great feeling. Dom definitely exceeded my expectations and we both love our wedding footage. Thank you Dom! I would highly recommend him to anyone planning on a wedding. I understand that most couples don't even consider a wedding videographer because its just something that often gets overlooked due to the importance placed on getting your wedding photographed. However, Dom stands out in the crowd with his ability to capture these priceless moments in time and years from now we will always relive those emotions as we watch our wedding footage and someday we can share that with our children. Thanks again Dom. Win and I are very happy with everything!!

First of all I am an Active Duty Service Member serving in San Diego. All of our family lives in the Bay Area. Dom and the rest of the Bay Area VDO Production crew was more than flexible in dealing with our situation of planning our wedding and coordinating with him from San Diego through out the whole process. They helped us coordinate everything from setting up meetings between him and our family for payments, music for our videos, times and places to shoot our video and general wedding tips. Having to coordinate with a client so far away, they were more than patient with us having to communicate through e-mail and voicemails due to my hectic and ever changing schedule due to the miltary. As difficult as it was, Dom made it as easy and as stress-free as possible. On our big day, Dom's staff executed capturing every moment flawlessly. At times, it was as if they weren't even there. The only time we really knew they were there was when one of their staff was actually helping my bride get ready and grabbing last minute things we forgot out of the house for the transition to the Church. We were so excited to see the finished products that we called and e-mailed Dom atleast 3 times a week waiting for the video. As annoying as we might have been, Dom was very patient and understanding; it actually seemed as if he was as excited about our video as we were. I can honestly say that they were able to capture every tear, smile, laugh and cry from our day. Watching what they had made for us gives us the opportuity to relive every moment from our Wedding. They have truely given us a timeless gift that we will cherish all the years of our Marriage. Bay Area VDO Production, THANK YOU. Because of you, we are able to enjoy and remind ourselves of how happy and how much we love each other. Geno & April Wedding of May 22nd, 2010

Phenomenal video; a wonderful memory to keep with us for the rest of our lives. Great price, and REAL professional videographers at your service.

Bay Area VDO Production did a great job at recording our wedding. We had VDO do our wedding in April, and the company is totally professional from start to finish. Great service is what we got from the first meeting to the last. Dom, the owner, really cares about his clients and the finished product that he provides. He is courteous, and responsive throughout the whole project, and we were pretty pleased with his service and the product he provides. On the wedding day, he really treated us well, and he did a great job. He and his crew were nice and came on time with no bad attitudes or overblown egos. They did their work in the background and really knew what they were doing. They tried to stay out of the way of the other vendors, and they take requests and special requests seriously. You get the feeling that they really want to give you quality service, attitude and product. We were very pleased with their performance at our wedding. They were one of our best vendors. The actual videos and disc that we received after the wedding were very good too. They provide a beautiful container for the compact discs and the disc labels looked really nice. The quality of the video and sound were great, and his editing was good. My wife and I were satisfied and pleased, and the results ranked up there with many of the other samples wedding videos we looked at before we selected VDO - his product was probably better than most. For the price and the type of equipment they are using, they did a really good job. As a realist, I knew I wasn't going to get a network TV broadcast or a feature film quality video just because Hollywood productions uses so much more complicated equipment, set-up, lighting, and audio. The price for something like that would be super expensive, and Dom did not provide that for us - at least at our pricepoint. I wasn't expecting that, but we did get a fantastic video recording of our wedding day that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We're very happy with VDO's service and product.

WE LOVE DOM!!!!!!!!!!! I wasn't going to hire a videographer for our wedding but a lot of people said I should, what a memory...I began a search online, came across Bay Area VDO and was impressed with his site and the quality of his work. I called, he was so friendly, his prices were perfect so we met. I was so excited after our meeting and immediately booked him. He is very thorough and explains everything, plus he responds quickly to emails/calls. Day of he and his assistant were great. I've had so many people tell me they were all over the place and so subtle about it. As part of the contract he does a "music video" set to your song of choice that you can send out to all guests. It's a "five minute" compilation of quick highlights and it's perfection. i.e the timing of words in the song to certain parts of the day (sunlight coming in...). Everyone is going crazy about it, I cried the first two times I watched it. I don't know of another videographer who does this extra wonderful service, and my gosh is it spectacular. We are so happy with the final outcome, it is a beautiful video, we have a 3+ hour highlight video, all of the raw footage, and the music video. Plus the presentation of the dvd's is so cute! This is something we'll treasure since neither of us remember 99% of the day. He captured all of the speeches, the special and funny moments that we can relive. When we met with him to get the dvd's he showed us bits and pieces and he was literally everywhere I kept telling him "I didn't realize you were even there..." You will not be disappointed in Bay Area VDO. They are professionals, it's obvious they love their work, and want to please their clients. I am more than thrilled that we hired this company and will forever have a beautiful memory of our day thanks to Dom.

We were SO happy that we found VDO Production to record our wedding this past March. When we originally started looking, we nearly decided not to have a videographer because we couldn't find anyone affordable that wasn't cheezy...until we met Dom that is. Not only is Dom an absolute professional and a dream to work with, he's friendly, has a good sense of humor and is just an overall kind person. On our actual wedding day, I barely even noticed that we had videographers there (and neither did any of the guests). We've been to weddings where the camera is always in someone's face - Dom and his team blended in completely. After the wedding we asked Dom to have our video ready in just over a month since we were doing a mini-reception in another city. Dom worked until the very last second to get this done for us. Not only did the video look great, but Dom constantly kept us updated on the progress and would say things like: "...The video is almost done, but there is one part that I'm only 90% happy with, so I will keep working..." We both loved that he puts the quality of his work above all else. Having watched the video - we are more than happy. Dom really captured the spirit of the day and truly the video takes us both back. Dom also created a music video that we could show to those that don't want to watch the whole thing (that would be everyone except immediate family :) - and that turned out fantastic as well. Again, we can't say enough great things. Book Bay Area VDO Production immediately!!!

Dom and his crew were awesome. I was REALLY hesitant about getting a videographer for our wedding at first, but now Im so happy that I did! Not only did he do a great job in terms of service, but he was friendly, very professional, and totally let the photgraphers do their thing while he and his crew kinda hid in the background. Seriously, half the time, we had nooo idea that he was even THERE! sometimes we'd be just enjoying ourselves during the wedding and randomly we'd look down and there'd be a video guy taping me or my wife, totally hidden, and completely out of our way. That touch actually made for a GREAT finished product. Seriously, we read the reviews on Yelp, decided to go with his company, and called him, checked out his work, and paid him. Since then, we haven't worried about a thing, an he's done an AWESOME job! Thanks Dom! Our wedding will be remembered wonderfully cuz of you and your work!!

My mother decided that we should have a videographer about 3 weeks before our wedding. Being that I live in Germany, I had to do the researching online. I came across bayarea VDO productions and watched about every video that was on the website. When I saw Dom's work, he just spoke to me... I knew that he was the one. Dom called me within a few hours of me submitting my request. After speaking to him, I had no doubt in my mind that we were going to get a very good product from him. All I can say is when you hire Dom for your wedding or event you are going to be treated like family. Dom, you and your crew are awesome! You are very talented and take pride in what you do. I will recommend you with a doubt. My wedding video is so beautiful and my husband and I are very pleased. Keep making couples happy! You ROCK! Thanks again

Dom and his staff were very discreet at the wedding but they captured every moment. When I did catch a peek of them, they were always genuinely smiling and it seemed they were really happy for us. During the editing process, he spent a lot of time with me patiently helping to find the best song for the "music video." He gave his honest opinion about how most of my choices would affect the flow of the video, until I finally came up with the perfect song. I knew it was the right one when Dom simply said "this is good." He edited the footage to the song in a very moving way and was really invested in the outcome. Now I have a wonderful and concise wedding music video that I can send to all my friends, along with the longer and full versions of the wedding I can watch at home with my husband and family. Thank you very much Dom!- Eileen and Dima

Dom is the best Videographer, and I highly recommend VDO Production!!! We are so happy that we chose VDO Production Dom to film our engagement party. Our video turned out amazing, more than I can ever imagine. Dom and his crew are the nicest, most helpful group I have ever worked with. He knew what I liked and what I wanted and I trusted him with everything. His work is amazing; it's a beautiful piece of art. He did an excellent job capturing the whole night with all of our special moments, are laughs, are tears, the celebration...... he captured it all. I watched our video over and over past 2 weeks and I can't get enough of it. It just amazes me every time I watched it. Not to mention, our 5 minute video, which we sent to all of our friends and family overseas or for our guest who couldn't attend. It was the whole night in 5 minute. Dom is truly the most amazing videographer I have came across. I did so much research and saw so many others work... AND NO ONE has come close to what Dom and his crew can do. Words can't express how thankful I am for choosing Dom, VDO production to film my special night.- Bethaina r.

"You did a fantastic job of capturing our wedding day! We genuinely appreciate your professionalism and all the time you invested to create the video, which came out beautifully.

The wedding video is something that we, along with our family and friends, will treasure for many years to come." We give you our highest regards. Thank you!" Christina
