Andy and his team are absolutely amazing! We hired them 1 week before our wedding and I am so grateful they were still available for our special day. From the moment they arrived they made us all feel comfortable even with cameras all around. I was so worried about making sure he got shots that he wanted or needed but as soon as they got there he said not to worry that they would take care of everything, and they were on it! They are very professional and so easy to work with. (our venue coordinator was being so rude to our vendors but Andy was so professional and composed, he just smiled about it and didn't let it affect him for a second!)

Their work speaks for itself. When you hire a videographer for your wedding its about capturing those special moments and telling a story and Awkward Turtle Media is the best team to do this for you. They had awesome ideas that they incorporated which I would have never thought about. Thank you for doing such an amazing job! Keep up the great work :)

Our wedding was this past Saturday and we hired Awkward Turtle Media to cover the videography portion of the wedding. We looked around at a few different videographers, but the Awkward team's portfolio was by far the most impressive and the cost was very reasonable. We absolutely made the right choice! These guys are highly skilled with a keen eye for amazing shots! We had 4 videographers working that day: Andy, Jason, David and Jordan. Each individual was constantly busy throughout the 9-10 hour day. They requested that we provide them with a couple slow songs and upbeat songs ahead of time so that they can visualize and set the pace of the video. I love the fact that we are able to use our own songs as it makes the video much more personal.

Having 4 videographers, they were able to shoot both the guys and girls getting ready at the same time. The team is very knowledgeable and knew what shots would look good, so they simply just gave us instructions as to what to do, which made it much easier on us. Our wedding was a haunted themed wedding and they put together a Freddy Krueger countdown to start off our video, which we absolutely LOVED. We surprised my wife with a Same Day Edit video presentation and my wife got so excited seeing the countdown (link to the video below). Andy slaved a good 8 hours during the wedding putting together the amazing same day edit video.

I wanted to incorporate a little bit of my car in the video and they knew exactly what angles and shots to take. My wife didn't care much when I told her I wanted the car in the video initially, but when she saw the car in the video, she actually liked it because the Awkward crew shot it so well!

Hands down, I had such a great experience with this team and would definitely recommend them! I'm already thinking of what future events I can hire them for as they are super cool guys and would LOVE to work with them again!

BEST. DECISION. EVER. in wedding planning! Our full review is here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/awkward-turtle-media-oakland

Weddingwire limits our review texts :P. Here is a snippet: On the day-of, ATM came with a team of 4: Jason, Andy, Dara, and Jordan. They were all professionally dressed in all black and truly were stealth-like in working with our photographer (Jasmine Lee Photography) as well as working around guests and family. Their professionalism was truly impressive, with their secret-service-like earpieces to communicate within themselves. They really are the total package of a videography team: great perspective, approachable personalities, hard-working, innovative, fun, determined, and overall professional-to-the-max. We admire their drive and feel really grateful that we are part of their portfolio and have these priceless memories for a lifetime! At the end of the day, we feel more like their friends than clients. WE LOVE AWKWARD TURTLE MEDIA and their whole team would always have a friend in us! WE STRONGLY AND HIGHLY recommend Awkward Turtle Media for ALL of your videography needs!

P.S. And we received SO many compliments about our SDE! Many of my Boston coworkers were super impressed and expressed that they haven't seen anything as high caliber as this! Awkward Turtle Media should win the breakthrough wedding industry award (if it exists!). LOVE LOVE LOVE ATM!!
