We had a great experience with Filmman! Christina was extremely responsive via email, and always clear about everything from logistics to finance to artist vision. During the wedding day, her and the Filmman team were professional and worked quickly. They were a pleasure to work with. -

We had the pleasure working with Christina and George for our wedding recently and they were amazing. From the beginning of our search for a videographer to the day of our wedding, Christina made it very easy and smooth for us. She was very punctual, professional, nice, and experienced in capturing all our best moments. The turnaround time for our videos were super fast and I would recommend them to anybody who wants an incredible videographer for their wedding or possibly other events. Thank you for everything Filmman Video!! -

Terrence Sent on 08/30/2024THE BEST Wedding Videographer!
If you are looking for a great videographer, you can not go wrong with Filmman Video. Christina and George were so great to work with! We were so happy we found them to video our wedding. Christina is super responsive and very helpful with all our questions we had. They will work well with your photographers and DJ to ensure you get the best audio possible for your wedding. Plus their video highlights were great and she even worked with us for all the edits we had and was very flexible. Their videos for our ceremony and reception are also really great and edited very well. Its not just a bunch of raw footage put together. So I would highly recommend Filmman Video for your wedding or even if you have an event where you need videographers. Thank you Christina and George! You both are awesome! -

Sabrina Sent on 05/02/2024Truly the best in the business, and the best possible team to capture our wedding day.
Truly the best in the business, and the best possible team to capture our wedding day. Photography and videography were always a big priority for us, and we began our search for the perfect photography/videography team two years before our wedding. While I had researched and interviewed over 40 photographers, I hit the jackpot with Filmman Studios. They were one of the first videography teams I spoke to and immediately I knew they would be the people I wanted to hire. Christina was bubbly, sweet, fun, patient. As an added bonus, her and George both speak Mandarin and Cantonese — perfect for communicating with our wedding guests. Beyond their personalities, their films spoke for themselves, two words “cinematic masterpieces.” On top of that, their pricing was extremely reasonable.
On the day of, Christina and George showed up 1 hour early. Christina, just like she had been on the phone, was BURSTING with energy. She ran up to me, wrapping me in a big hug and I yelped out “wow it is so good to finally meet my wedding vendors!” My bridesmaids were confused, “You’ve never met her before? You guys seem like best friends.”
That sentiment held true for the rest of the day. Shooting with Christina and George really did feel like hanging out with great friends. They laughed at our TikTok video creations, danced with us on the dance floor, and handed my husband and I tissues when we could not stop crying at our first look. What was the most impressive was the way they were somehow able to both direct and encourage, all while allowing my husband and I to have (what felt like) very personal and private moments throughout the day.
Then, just 4 days after our wedding, I got a text from Christina saying our video was ready. My husband and I shakily opened the link and we were waterworks all over again. It was perfection — from the way it started with funny “blooper” scenes to the way it incorporated our vows and romantic shots. When we sent to our friends and family, no one could believe this video was made literally less than 100 hours after our wedding. Christina surprised us with beautiful drone shots, interviews with family and friends and the perfect shot of our first look which is and will be my most favorite memory of the day.
Christina and George, I can just tell how passionate you are about your jobs. You have created pure magic for us and our families. Thank you for being a part of our special day. -

Andrew Sent on 12/14/2023Fantastic Experience with Christina, George, and Filmman!
09/15/2024:
Christina, George, and the Filmman team were absolutely excellent. They were the perfect partners for our wedding for so many reasons:
1. Respectful and Kind:
On the day of the wedding, they were a bright light. They treated our family with kindness and always checked in respectfully to ensure they captured everything we wanted.
2. Excellent Quality:
Having worked with Christina on a previous family wedding, we had no doubt about her skill and cinematic talent. Once again, she delivered beautifully.
3. Responsiveness:
Christina was always incredibly responsive and collaborative when it came to designing our highlight video, and in helping to bring our vision to life.
Go with Christina, George, and the Filmman team – you won’t regret it!
12/15/2023:
We decided to strongly consider Christina and Filmman for our wedding because she had done an excellent job at my to-be-sister-in-law's wedding. She quickly confirmed that working with her was going to be a great experience. We'll update this review when our wedding date comes to pass, but for now we wanted to write a review just to emphasize how excellent Christina is to work with in the pre-contract and negotiation phase:
1. Professionalism: She is quick to reply, thorough in communication, kind in spirit, and committed to ensuring you are provided the package you need.
2. Better Packages: Moreover, compared to other videographers, it's our view that she has a more compelling offering. She has certain packages that offer long-form edits – providing (from what we saw with our family member's wedding) the best way to retain a significant amount of the big day in a quality, usable format.
3. Great Style: Finally, the short films that she creates are a lot more cinematic and story-oriented than most wedding films we've seen. Put another way, they tell a story more like what a filmmaker would do in a typical context, driven by voice-overs and compelling imagery – not following as much the classic wedding film tropes that can be a bit overwrought. -

Leah Sent on 10/23/2023Love FilmmanVideo!
I loved working with FilmmanVideo so much that I hired them for my own wedding. Christina is so cheerful and friendly, and she's also a very hard worker. They go into each event prepared with a vision so they know exactly what shots to capture. Christina is always quick to respond and doesn't hesitate to ask questions to ensure we are on the same page. As a wedding planner, clear communication and working with professional vendors is a must because it makes things easier for me because I can trust them. And the wedding videos they make are amazing! There is a beautiful, storytelling flow about them and I was thrilled with how artistic they made our own wedding video. All of our guests commented on how amazing the video was and that it felt like they were watching a cinematic movie. Many of our friends and family even mentioned they teared up while watching. I recommend FilmmanVideo to all of my couples seeking a videographer because they are amazing people and create beautiful work! Thank you FilmmanVideo! -

Sagar Sent on 09/24/2023Best Videographer!
Filmman Video is the absolute best wedding videographer you could ask for. From the moment we met Christina and George, we knew we were in good hands. They both were so professional, friendly, and easy to work with. Christina and George took the time to get to know us and our story, and really listened to our vision for our wedding video.
On our wedding day they blended in perfectly and captured all of the special moments without being intrusive. We didn't even notice them there most of the time!
When we received our wedding video, we were blown away. It was everything we had dreamed of and more. Every emotion and essence of our day was captured perfectly. We have watched our wedding video over and over again, and it brings us tears of joy every time.
We highly recommend Filmman Video to anyone looking for a wedding videographer. Christina and George are the best in the business! -

Chang Sent on 07/05/2023Amazing video, stress free experience!
We had SUCH a fantastic experience working with FilmmanVideo for our wedding last month and we had all our expectations exceeded today when we watched the wedding video. As someone who didn't have much direction of what I expected the video to be like, and as someone who felt somewhat awkward being filmed (regardless of what a great job they did making me feel comfortable) -- I was absolutely amazed at the wonderful job they did filming and editing the video.
Beyond the final product, I wanted to mention that it was a pleasure working with them in general. Christina was always quick to respond before the wedding, was full of ideas, and was very on time the day of the wedding. Both Christina and her team also brought such a cheerful spirit to the wedding day, and we're super grateful to have had them as part of our wedding team. -

Christina and George were amazing and so easy to work with! The turnover was fast and efficient that so many of my family were surprised!

I would love to work with them again for all future events! -

Best Vendor money can hire
THEY ARE SO CHEAPPPPPPP!!!!
That's what was going through my mind the entire time as I was watching our highlight video. (Oh and this is so, so, so, good)
Yup you heard it how much they charge is way, way, wayyyyyyyy too affordable for the value they deliver.
I'm an avid photo and videographer with pro gears. Yet, the shots Christina and her husband had throughout our entire 5 plus minutes of highlight video. I wouldn't even able to replicate a fraction of it! And the fraction I think I might be able to replicate I don't think I would have been able to done it in the fly like they did!
Not only did Christina and her husband's has some of the best, latest gears, (They have multiple A7sIII, which is fantastic under low lights!!!)
They were also super enthusiastic, funny, yet professional, and so so so so well versed in their craft.
They did not just capture my wedding but they captured the essence of it. When watching the video we feel as if we were there reliving every moment. And that my friend is something $$$ cannot buy.
Tip them generously because holy smoke what the hell. How are they so cheap?!?!! HOW ARE THEY SO CHEAP?!?!?!
Surpassed our expectation in everyway at an extremely affordable reasonable rate. We are so grateful to be able to find Filmman group because without them our wedding would have not been complete.
Oh yeah, and our wedding video just in case you want to see what all my fuss is about:

Siwei Sent on 03/26/2022They were amazing!!
Christina and George were so wonderful to work with!! I was debating if I should get video for the wedding and like many of the reviewers below, am so glad we did! The day goes by so fast that you’re not able to remember much of it and it’s nice to be able to look back on the video and re-live the memories! Christina and George both speak mandarin and that was really helpful for us when we thought we would have our parents be a bigger part of the wedding, but decided against it!
They somehow got the feelings of the video just right for us and we can’t wait to show our family and friends! -

My wife and I are so glad we worked with FilmmanVideo for our wedding videography! Christina and George were easy to communicate with and helpful when we were planning what to capture, the filming experience on the day of was thoughtfully planned, and we were absolutely amazed by the artistic quality of our wedding highlight videos!

Kathy Sent on 12/11/2021Amazing Videographer!
I found FilmmanVideo via WeddingWire and loved their work. I knew they were the ones to capture my wedding after viewing a few of their videos :)
FilmmanVideo's work is just absolutely beautiful and they make sure to capture all the important moments. My husband and I were so happy that we found Christina and her husband George to be part of our big day. Christina and George are seriously couple goals to work together seamlessly!
Communication with Christina was so easy and she always was super quick to respond to emails. Whether it was through email or text, she would always respond right away. Even though we did not give her much instructions on what to record for the wedding day, she was able to capture everything flawlessly. The wedding footage was even better than what we expected.
Christina was able to provide the highlight video via a Vimeo link and the rest of the wedding footage was sent via a USB stick. The USB was not just a normal USB; it was a wooden USB in a wooden box with their logo on it - very cute! My husband and I watched the videos and were amazed at the quality and effort that Filmman put into the editing.
We will be enjoying our wedding film for the years to come and can't wait to show our kiddos later on. Thank you Filmman for being a part of our special day. We appreciate you!
I highly recommend them if you are looking for a videographer :) -

Ancy Sent on 11/14/2021Beautiful, cinematic videography
My husband and I hired Filmman Video for our wedding in October 2021, and they absolutely blew us away with the quality of their work. Christina was extremely communicative / responsive throughout the entire process of booking and confirming timelines and details leading up to the event, via email, text, and phone call. On the day of, both she and George were so dedicated throughout - they coordinated extremely well with our photographers, and many of our guests commented to us how hard they were working nonstop to capture the perfect shots.
Within 1-2 weeks after the event, they shared the highlight and we truly couldn't have been happier with the incredible video they put together for us - with drone shots, amazingly professional shooting angles, and so much more. It was so beautiful that we ended up ordering an additional extended cut.
Their team is special in that they're not only expert at capturing precious moments, but also in turning them into a cinematic and emotional story which captures touching dynamics between the couple, family, and guests - and the product is something that we'll treasure for the rest of our lives. They were also very generous, meticulous, and patient with letting our family make many minor edits throughout the video editing process. Overall, it was a fantastic and worthwhile investment - truly a great value for what you pay for - and we couldn't recommend them more highly. -

Jasmin Sent on 08/04/2021Best wedding videographer! Reach out to me if you want to match the lowest package price!
After interviewed at least 5+ vendors for my wedding video, I finally decided to go with filmman, as I love their videos and get so touched when watching the wedding others on their website. Unlike some videographers who did all the wedding videos in a template like way, filmman really make each video tailored to you, make it so special to record all the moments of your big day. -

Min T. Sent on 06/17/2021You will be the star of your story
This is my 5-star review for Christina and George for my wedding on 5/29/21.
I looked through several vendors on Yelp, the knot, etc. looking for someone to capture our special day (We weren't planning to have a videographer at our wedding, but then heard not having one was one of a bride's biggest regrets). It's been a few months so I don't remember exactly what led me to finally decide on Christina and George - probably some combination of their very reasonable prices, Christina's professionalism, and their highlight videos being sweet but not too cheesy (exactly what we wanted!) - but I am very happy I did.
On the day of the wedding, they arrived early at our first location. They were quick to set up and started filming right away (while not bumping into our photographer, who was running the show). It was clear they came prepared with a vision for our wedding video, and knew ahead of time what sort of footage they wanted to capture. This was very welcome as we were falling behind schedule and everything just started moving at 3x the pace. The whole day they were very professional, kind, and respectful.
I received my highlight video shortly after and it was much better than we had all expected. My wife's grandmother watched it at least five times so far and cried every single time. My mother-in-law keeps saying I look like James Bond in the video (and believe me, I do not look like James Bond). This just goes to show how skillful Christina and George are at making you the star of your story.
For anyone reading up to this point, congratulations on your wedding! You will definitely not regret going with Christina and George. -

Govind Sent on 02/22/2021Cinematic video that tells your personal story!
If you want amazing wedding video footage tells a story with soul and verve with crisp cinematic footage, look no further.
Due to Covid, we were planning a rather simple outdoor function, so we really wanted the best we could find for photo and video coverage.
Before talking to Christina, we spent a lot of time going through their previous work. What struck us was not just how epic each video was, but also how personal it was. Christina and George have a way of extracting the essence of each personality and bring on to the screen the magic of a relationship. Everyone who saw our lil highlights clip commented on how cinematic and touching it was.
Equally important, they were such amazing people to work with - they had such a great attitude, made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera and were so generous with their time and effort. They also indulged our little whims.

Lorelie Sent on 03/01/2020Pleasant & experienced
Christina and George were so pleasant and professional. I did a lot of research before booking both our photographer and videographer and I was very pleased and happy with both.
I came across FilmMan via yelp and watched their videos they posted on their website and I was really into their style of videos. Their prices were also appealing.
My husband and I lucked out on getting FilmMan Video just less than 6 months of our wedding! It was helpful to show them our wedding timeline for the day of to make sure it was in sync with the hours we booked them for. Christina and George showed up at least 30 mins prior to the start time to set up and start doing some early shots of my bridal party and I getting ready. This honestly eased so much stress and they were very EASY and DELIGHTFUL to work with. The moment they started shooting, showed their extensive experience and skills. They also stayed an extra 30 mins after to get some shots of the dancing and they were very flexible. They gave us our highlight video within days of our wedding and also gave us the rest of the footage they captured within a week!
I truly recommend FilmMan video for weddings and more. I couldn't be anymore happy with the footage they captured and they made it a memorable amazing experience for both my husband and I! We definitely plan on booking FilmMan for any other event that we want captured! We have this forever which is so special to us. Thank you again, Christina and George! -

Rebecca Sent on 10/20/2019Far Exceeded Expectations!
Christina and George were great to work with!! Very responsive via text, phone call, and email. Their final products far exceeded our expectations! They did an amazing job using their creativity to tell our story through our highlight video, which they delivered 4 days after our wedding! Likewise, we were able to enjoy watching our edited wedding videos and relive all the best moments when we returned from our honeymoon.
They truly went above and beyond with their creativity and service. Christina and George gathered inspiration from our wedding website of “how we met”, and then met with us at a park to film some extra interview footage and “engagement” shots. They created a “save the date” video, which was a pleasant extra for us, and also added to the anticipation and excitement coming up to the wedding day for our friends and family. Thank you for capturing the memories for us! -

My husband and I spent hours interviewing videographers for our special day. Christina stood out amongst the crowd with her enthusiasm and creativity. We would recommend Filmman Video to anyone! Christina directed us and helped us feel comfortable during the whole process. The first edit was done within a month! Thank you for capturing the precious moments, including our furbabies. We can't wait to share our video with all of our friends and family! -

Christina was such a joy to work with! She brings so much energy and enthusiasm, and is great at what she does! It makes a huge difference to work with someone who actually takes the time and has the interest in getting to know each of us and what makes us unique as a couple. And the videos brought that through. We could not be happier with the results.
Just as importantly, it was a pleasure to work with her before, during and after the wedding. It was not only stress-free, but a true joy, and she made the whole experience that much more enjoyable for us. She even spent extra time and effort to make the video was exactly what we wanted, without hesitation.
We could not recommend her more!

Awards We’ll Deserved and Some!!
I was referred to FilmmanVideo by a simple card I was given. The moment I went on their website, I noticed the awards they’ve been given and after having them be apart of my special day, I now see why.
Christina, who was my point of contact, is EXTREMELY professional, friendly, easy and committed to making our and your BIG day extra special! She’s quick to respond via email or text and will help your vision come alive and some!
On my wedding day, she came an hour early, more than what our contract stated and I even stayed a little longer as well. The result was noticed as we got our wedding footage and relived the happiest day of our lives! -

The dream team
Do not hesitate to hire Christina and George for your big day!!! They are the DREAM TEAM. My cousin originally hired FilmmanVideo for his wedding and we really liked their video so we reached out to get more information. From the beginning, Christina was so friendly and warm. She was responsive and timely over email and text which was super important to me. We didn't even bother searching for any other options and booked them immediately. Fast forward to the wedding day, George was early to arrive and was ready to get to work. He was professional and super easy going! Being filmed can be nerve-racking but George made us feel very comfortable. George even stayed past his scheduled time to get more dancing shots! Throughout the day, George got so many shots of us, we were curious to see what the end result would be. I was so shocked to see an email from Christina a week after our wedding letting us know our videos are ready. We are super happy with the result!!! I cannot emphasize enough about how amazing George and Christina are. It was so easy working with them both from start to end. You will not regret hiring them!! -

Chuang Sent on 06/18/2019simply awesome
Both my wife and I have pretty high requirement and expectations for photos and videos for our wedding. But Christina and George totally shattered our expectation. We had a rare rainy day in bay area which added a lot of logistics complexity and we were worried about quality of the video. They executed perfectly on the day regardless the weather. The final video turns out to be quite amazing and the rain makes the whole clip especially unique.
You would be in good hand if you choose Christina and George to be your wedding videographers. -

My husband is crazy about photography. We almost only hired a photographer for our wedding day. What a big regret this would have been if we didn’t come across Christina and George!
My wedding was absolutely the happiest day of my life: Christina and George perfectly captured the joy of the day! there are so many magical moments that we have been able to relive through their videos. I have been watching these videos over and over again. Every moment that was important to me (and so many others!) made it in the sweet video. They managed to capture each part of our day incredibly. It was everything we could have wanted out of our wedding video and more. Thank you so much for all of your hard work! -

We had an amazing time working with Christina and her Filmman Video team! They were incredibly detail oriented and it was a total plus that she spoke Mandarin, which helped with directing family members with the language barrier. She also suggested adding additional cinematic highlights and was very fair in her pricing. We can't wait to see our final product and would highly recommend them to anyone in the Bay Area looking for a videographer for their wedding! -

Christine Sent on 12/02/2018Easy, affordable, responsive, quality
Christina and George filmed our wedding on November 10, 2018 and we couldn't have been happier with our decision to hire them as our videographers! Christina responds extremely fast to ANY questions on top of having one of the most affordable packages offered for the quality videos they produced, which I can appreciate as any bride would when planning her wedding! Timing, cost and quality were my main importance when choosing vendors.
My first meet with Christina was via video chat, she was so easy and pleasant to talk to! She knew what I was looking for without having to explain much and had such a warm personality that I know I would feel relieved to have someone like that on my wedding day.
Wedding day: they came prepared, punctual, stayed under the radar as festivities took place, very organized and she followed my wedding itinerary to the T! They made sure to capture ALL of the special moments, helped with our poses, gave ideas on what we should do and just overall proactive on getting good shots!
Videos: Christina sent me all the videos a lot sooner than promised!! I'm very pleased with the videos, definitely captured the entire day and I was able to relive every moment of it again, even parts that I forgot about as the day went by too quick!
I highly recommend booking them as your videographers for your wedding -
Nat Sent on 07/02/2018Filmman video with Christina and George were AMAZING!!!
Let's start with the beginning... They did the wedding video last year for one of my best friends and my friend not only raved about her wedding video, convincing me I must get one, but talked about how amazing Christina was with communication and how reasonably priced they were. So, of course I went with them for our wedding video and photography. Christina and George would do our wedding video and they'd have Lotus Production Photography do our pictures.
During the planning phase and days leading up to the wedding, Christina was the best with communication. She would reply to my emails filled with questions within an hour regardless if it was a weekend or at night. She was always so insightful and helpful.
Christina and George came to our rehearsal where they interviewed my now husband and I along with our best man and maid of honor. Oh and the wedding rehearsal itself as well.
The wedding day, they were prompt, super nice (as they always), very creative with video shots and just pleasant to work with.
Now, when we got out video... It made my heart melt. They did such an amazing job at capturing our wedding rehearsal, us getting ready and the all of the wedding day celebrations. It was truly beautiful and everything we wanted and more in a wedding video. I've received so many compliments from our wedding coordinator to people who didn't even attend our wedding, raving about how it's the best wedding video they've seen.
No need to look any further for a videographer, these are your go to people! -

User3305270 Sent on 11/12/2017We are so incredibly happy with the way our wedding video turned out! Christina was so prompt, finishing the entire video 1 week after our wedding! She also made a highlight video for us to share with family and friends and it was incredible. So many of our family members told us that the wedding video made them cry with joy all over again. She went above and beyond what we had hired/paid her to do and the results were stunning. We highly recommend hiring FilmmanVideo!
