Working with them and you'll realize videography is a must

I worked with Philipe and Mirar for my wedding videography at Adler. I could not have asked for a better experience or memorialization of our wedding in video.

As a talent, Philipe is an incredibly creative and versatile. He is a video editor so when shooting, he already has an eye for the finished video ensuring it is spot on with your vision. For my shorter teaser clip, he selected music and footage that was so well coordinated and made for a unique story. Apart from his talent, he is a consummate professional - he was timely, clear, and responsive to creative input or otherwise. He even went above and beyond to take the lead in moving along our wedding when we went over time.

As a person, Philipe is a joy to work with - he is collaborative, personable, and authentic, bringing a calming energy to the room.

I recommend Philipe and Mirar without hesitation and know it will enhance your wedding experience.

Mirar is the best!

Working with Mirar has been such a wonderful experience - Victoria is so lovely and great at responding to emails/answering our questions. And David and Luis are the most amazing videographers! Their professionalism, fun personalities, passion, and empathy made it such a joy to work with them. They're just wonderful people to be around, and we have so much gratitude and love for them. They make me want to get married all over again so I can work with them once more, but hopefully my husband and I have a long and happy marriage haha. We wouldn't have wanted anyone else to be by our sides on our wedding day, and we HIGHLY recommend them and Mirar to everyone! Thank you so much again Victoria, David, and Luis! I hope you guys never doubt what you do because you're all so incredible!!

Exceeded all our expectations

Absolutely thrilled with our final video and preview from Mirar. They were professional, timely, and responsive in the lead up to our wedding, and did not at all interfere during wedding day (an initial concern we had with videography). We are so grateful for the beautiful video they created and will cherish this for years to come. 10/10 would recommend!
