Let me tell you what Above and Beyond really means! I was presenting in front of 45+ business owners and I needed someone to capture this on video. While I was researching I knew I needed Quality & Outstanding Service. It was important to me that whoever I hired was responsive, easy to work with, listens to my needs, and has top of the line equipment to ensure quality. After reading all of Maria Coopers outstanding reviews and talking with her on the phone, I knew she was the right fit for me. Here comes the part where she went Above and Beyond... I was stuck in traffic traveling from the Sacramento area. When I say stuck I mean I didn't move for over an hour. I had planned for this presentation for over 3 months and my new service was being launched that day. I was supposed to meet Maria at the Crow Canyon Country Club at 9:30 AM and we had 2 hours to set up and test the presentation, audio, camera equipment etc... Traffic only got worse. I began to panic. I thought heck I better just call everyone and cancel it. First, I called Maria and explained the situation. Her exact words were, "Ashley don't you worry, I have your presentation connected to my laptop and everything sounds perfect and it looks sharp on the projector." I was still in panic mode until Maria sent me photos and a video with her cell phone showing me everything was ready. All I needed to do was show up and put my mic on. She went even further... I texted her when I arrived and she met me outside and helped me carry in all of my large displays which saved me even more time. I can't thank her enough. I highly recommend her for testimonial videos, weddings, and commercials for businesses. She knows how to perform at 100% even under a high-pressure situation. Thank you, Maria, for everything!

We decided last minute to have our wedding recorded and were so happy Maria was available on our wedding day. Maria went above and beyond for us (just like her company name states) to capture our wedding ceremony and reception. She was easy to work with and kept us in the loop before, during and after our wedding. She is so professional and loving. You can really tell this is her passion and the quality of work shows it. We highly recommend Maria's services to anyone looking to capture their special day!

Maria Cooper is one of the most professional, amazing, and honest individual I have ever worked it. As picky as I am Maria gave me the opportunity to sit with her side by side and she edited my wedding video exactly how I wanted it. It's truly a blessing to have found her and now I have an amazing wedding video that I can cherish for the rest of my life.

We had a hard time finding a videographer to film our wedding ceremony the way we wanted: we didn't want an "art" film costing several thousand dollars. We wanted a documentary approach that simply filmed the ceremony from start to finish, so that family members unable to attend would feel, watching it, as if they'd been there. Maria Cooper (Above and Beyond Productions) took the job and did exactly what her business name promises: above and beyond anything we expected. We thought she would simply turn the camera on and off at the beginning and end of the ceremony. But she realized, a few minutes into the ceremony, that that wasn't going to give us a good end-product, and she ended up producing a much more in-depth product, using a combination of different angles, still photos (to cover the parts where she was moving the camera) and video to produce an end product that was not only LIKE what the actual guests saw, but BETTER than what the actual guests saw. For no extra charge, because it was simply what she felt was necessary to produce an end product she would be proud of, and we would like.

In addition, she had the most amazing attitude of cooperation. With many of our vendors, we felt like "wedding #473" -- a profit center in a big business, rather than two unique people. But not with Maria. She was wonderful to work with, went above and beyond what she was required to do, and what we expected, was incredibly reasonable in price, flexible in schedule, and the end product is really, really, really amazing. Great eye, great post-production editing (which we didn't even expect), ... just outstanding on every level.

Maria is the most professional and talented person you will have on your wedding day crew!! Not only did she produce a beautiful video of our day, she has become a dear friend! You will def not regret this decision and the video will be perfect. Maria thank you for everything you do!!

Beautiful job - I couldn't have asked for more.

Maria at Above & Beyond Productions truly lived up to the name and exceeded all of our expectations. She provided us with a wedding video that truly captured our personalities and highlighted all of the special moments of our day. This is a keepsake that we will treasure forever. I would recommend Above & Beyond Productions to anyone who is looking for a wedding videographer.

Maria did a great job editing our wedding video and her price was unbeatable. I found her on Craigslist, but now that she's on Wedding Wire her fees may have gone up a little bit. But that's okay because I'm sure she'll still be the best video editor for the money there is!

Above & Beyond Productions is exactly what it is named! They absolutely went above and beyond my expectations and everything went very smoothly. There were no issues on the big day, and my wedding video captured so many of my most favorite moments and even the little ones that could have easily slipped by.

Thank you for all your attention, dedication and hard work!
