Hire them immediately

I am writing this review wayyyy too late (a little over 2 years after my wedding) and it has been eating me away inside because I need to give Mason(aka Anchor Pictures) all the praise they deserve. As a wedding planner myself, I had worked with Mason and Savannah previously and found them to be so sweet and easy to work with as well as extremely professional.
I knew that when I got married they would be at the top of my list for videography and I was so glad they were available! My husband still talks about how absolutely sweet and helpful Mason was on the day of our wedding, assisting him in getting his bow tie on when no one else knew how. He worked perfectly with our photographer team and even when we ran slightly behind schedule due to hair and makeup, he was on it with getting all the shots needed quickly so we could get back on track.
The videos themselves I could watch on repeat constantly, every day, for the rest of my life. I still cry watching the full video and cannot stop smiling when I watch the teaser and full 8 minute cut. The drone shots, the details, all cut together seamlessly with our music and clips of the ceremony and speeches. Mason’s work is beautiful, the camerawork and shots are breathtaking and made my humble backyard wedding look like a high budget royal wedding video. I love it sooooo much and am forever grateful that we will one day be able to watch this video with our children as well as show other family members who were not able to make it that day. Thank you SO much Anchor Pictures, I cannot recommend them enough!

Would recommend over and over

If you’re on the fence about photo and video for your next event, commit to Mason and Savannah. We had their photo and video package for our wedding (there is a discount for booking both, too!) and we could not be happier with our choice. We checked out their photo and video galleries on their website, and then got in touch with Mason. After speaking with him, we knew we were in good hands. Anchor Pictures provides a comprehensive list of footage and photos at a very reasonable price. Mason was responsive and patient as we asked questions, and made the booking process quick and easy.

As we got closer to the wedding, Mason was always willing to take a phone call so we could ask additional questions, help us work out our wedding day timeline, and suggest a shot list for us to work off of. We also sent him a few “inspo pics” to take the day of the wedding which he assured us we would get similar shots of. He also sent a final questionnaire asking thoughtful questions. From that last phone call we knew that things would run incredibly smoothly during our wedding day when it came to photo and video.

On our wedding day, Mason, Savannah, and their team were phenomenal. They kept the both of us calm throughout the chaos, problem solved when it came to weather or minor issues (for example, the top of our chuppah started to fall during our ceremony and Mason swooped in with a binder clip to reinforce it), and most importantly, it never felt like cameras were constantly in our faces. They were capturing our day as it was occurring rather than creating hundreds of posed photos, and we had fun doing it too. Every shot from the shot list we had sent him was done efficiently, too (all of them between the first look and the ceremony). Also, all the “inspo pics” I had sent to Mason the week before, he made sure to get the same photo of which was also great. They truly made the day run smoothly and captured everything.

Another point is that we were running a bit behind schedule towards the end of the night, and although we had them contracted for 8 hours, Mason and Savannah offered to stay longer to make sure we got all the footage we wanted which was so appreciated.

We got our sneak peek photos less than two weeks after the wedding had happened, which was around 200 photos. This was such a pleasant surprise. The photos are so beautiful and we are so excited to get video back and the rest of the photos in a few weeks!
In other words, Anchor Pictures are true professionals and know how to make your wedding day or any event perfect and I recommend them to anyone!

Perfection!

We cannot say enough about what a joy it was to work with Mason and Savannah. From day one they were open and responsive to our requests. As people who are not big photo-takers they were great at putting us at ease and making the process feel natural (to that end, definitely recommend doing an engagement shoot with them prior to the wedding). We had multiple guests come up to us in the days following our wedding to specifically comment on how professional and warm they found Anchor Pictures to be (with numerous people noting how impressed they were that Mason and Savannah immediately remembered everyone's name). They helped the day run smoothly, without ever feeling pushy and captured all the important moments without making them feel altered for the sake of photos alone. They were prompt communicators, very thorough, and we are thrilled with how the photographs turned out. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Hire them now

Mason and Savannah are the best in the game!!! From the second we spoke to them on the phone to the engagement shoot then the wedding we knew we made the right decision. Photo and Video are our two most important vendors so we were very picky when making that decision and if we had to make that decision again we would pick them all over. Everyone still talks about how beautiful our engagement and wedding photos are. They are professional, VERY SWEET, and extremely talented. They made us feel so comfortable the day of the wedding and were accommodating when the timeline changed. 3 of our friends hired them after seeing their work :)

Uniquely beautiful videography, framing, and attention to detail

As the designated photographer for my friends, family, and colleagues, to say I have high expectations for photos and videos is an understatement. Yet, Mason and Savannah far surpassed my expectations. They were extremely easy to work with and accommodating when I added extra hours and rehearsal dinner coverage at the last minute.

Their coordination with each other while the bridesmaids and groomsmen got ready apart was very impressive. They kept us more informed than the bridal party was otherwise keeping each other informed of next steps. They paid attention to every detail to get the best shots of everything from bridal details and the wedding program to moving my hair or straightening my ring in photos. We feel lucky to be able to relive our wedding day through their lenses.

My only regret is not hiring them for photography AND videography. They only did videography for our wedding and I loved their shots so much, I asked for stills of the videos. The way they staged us, framed us, and captured unique moments is truly unrivaled.

You should absolutely hire them!

Mason and Savannah are the BEST!!!

As we planned our wedding, we were really on the fence about hiring a videographer, mostly due to budget and cost. A few family members and friends suggested that we invest in a videographer because it is something tangible that we could cherish throughout our lives and our marriage. We are so happy with our decision, and it would also be my biggest piece of advice to any other bride and groom!

When we saw Anchor Pictures' work, we knew they were it. We love that they are a married couple, and their love is palpable. They know what to look for to capture love. They captured not only the love of our day but the guests and little details through their cinematography that we as the bride and groom may have missed in the whirl and swirl of everything. We are so happy with the results and we will truly cherish this memory for the rest of our lives!

Made me feel like Carrie Bradshaw in DTLA

Anchor Picture turned my wedding into a work of art! Exceeded all expectations and I will recommend them to the moon and back! I hosted a wedding in downtown Los Angeles, had a vision as Anchor Pictures read my mind! The whole team was so kind, friendly, chill, professional and very personable -- in the beginning its a nerve wracking day, and yet they kept their cool, felt no pressure, and they offered great direction and detail for all the shots. They had just as much fun as we did that day. I hope our paths will cross again in the future, as they are such a great team and awesome people to work with!

Absolutely magical duo.

Anchor Pictures totally blew us away. Not only did Mason and Savannah bring such fun and fantastic energy to our wedding, they’re INCREDIBLE videographers. (I’m just gonna go ahead and call them wizards.) Their highlight reel went above and beyond any expectation I had and brings a tsunami of *feels* any time I watch.

If they’re available for your wedding day, don’t hesitate to book. You won’t find anyone better at their rate (or a higher one, honestly)

Anchor Pictures is a MUST HAVE!

Mason and Savannah are literally the best people to work with. They were our videographers for our wedding in Oct 2021. They are professional, easy going, prompt, and execute on all promises. The highlight film they created for us really brings out all of the love, joy, feelings, and emotions and truly brings us back to our special day. Watch some of their wedding videos and you will see why we instantly fell in love with their work. Their work is top notch and cannot be beaten. Anchor Pictures is a 100% must have at your special day and we highly highly recommend using them for all of your videography needs!
