    Fun, professional crew and good-quality videography

    Ivory Sky Media shot video on my wedding day in summer of 2017. From the start, communication was excellent. The team always seemed to have a positive attitude and they would respond to my questions in a timely manner.

    I worried that the Ivory Sky Media crew and my photographer’s crew would clash or get into each others’ ways but they seemed to work great side-by-side. We really liked the crew who shot our wedding. I could tell they were having a good time too. They were so funny but professional at the same time—they helped to keep everyone at ease. All the bridesmaids and groomsmen were raving about how awesome they were!

    The wedding highlight video was by far my favorite part of the whole package. Such a great way summarize the magic of the whole experience. The gimball features and the aerial shots they got of the Rose Garden in San Jose and the St. Joseph’s Cathedral were breathtaking. They truly captured every touching moment, and even the silly moments that we didn’t realize got caught on camera! Our friends and family loved watching the highlight video.

    The Ivory Sky Media team is top notch and I highly recommend them!

    There was no doubt in our minds when we chose Ivory Sky Media. We came across their videos on their blog and Vimeo, and fell in love with their style. Right when I got into contact with Allen, I felt so comfortable working with him. He was friendly, and quick to reply with our messages. Their prices and services were straight forward, nothing complicated, and very reasonably priced! Allen even gave me a discount (Facebook code).

    For our wedding, we had 3 videographers: Allen, Jennifer, and Frank. They were shooting all different kinds of angles, they even had a drone. How awesome!! The first time I met them, they were so friendly. Especially Allen, he was so genuinely kind-hearted, and even while we were getting ready, they were all so patient and nice with everyone. However, traffic held them back about an hour, but it was OK since we were kind of running behind schedule. Because of this, Allen was kind enough to refund me the extra 1 hour I paid for. How nice of him!

    The wedding video came in the mail as 2 BluRay discs, with customized cases. The entire video was amazing!! Previously, the editor had sent us a questionnaire that provided them an idea of our favorite songs and what style we wanted. All the songs they chose were so perfect!! The shots they took were beautiful, the drone shots were amazing! Then the highlight video was done and even that was also so perfect! Literally chose the perfect songs, songs we didn't even know much people liked or knew about, but these songs were all about us. It represented us so well as a couple.

    Overall, Allen and his crew at Ivory Sky Media were amazing! Highly recommended! Thank you!!

    We hired ISM as our wedding videographer. Over all the experience was great! We've done the research and compared a lot of prices. Their price was the most competitive. On top of that they had the shortest turn around time. Most places told us we would have to wait 4-6 months for the final DVD, but ISM finished everything for us in 2-3 months!
    We also asked them to make a slideshow of us to be shown during the wedding reception. They did a good job and the fee was very reasonable as well, unlike many other places we went to which quoted us a high price just for the slide show.
    On our wedding day they showed up on time, and proceed very professionally the whole time.
    As we watch the finished video now, we are very happy with the shooting angles and the editing. They captured all the important moments plus lot of subtle details. And the music was excellent as well.

    Will highly recommend they to our friends!

    Allen and his team at Ivory Sky Media captured perfectly our special day. Even months later Ivory Sky Media has been helpful in helping us create our wedding album. You can not go wrong by selecting Ivory Sky Media.

    About 3 weeks before my wedding I posted a Craigslist ad to find a videographer. I had low expectations I'd get any replies since it was such short notice, but Allen contacted me and provided me with video samples. Let me tell you, I was so impressed with the quality of his work! He was so quick to reply to my emails and he was also so professional and easy to talk to at the same time.

    We worked with Allen and his team for our wedding highlight video. They were responsive and professional, listened to our suggestions, and incorporated these changes in the final edit. I highly recommend Ivory Sky Media for their work and for beautifully capturing the moments of our wedding day.

    Horrible!!!!

    This company refuses to give me and my fiance back our $600 security deposit..i asked for the deposit back after he put hands on my little cousin and called the cops and created a conflict of interest between the company and us due to his negative behavior towards us and my cousin whom is in my wedding party!

    As "The" and "A" owner of the company how dare he treat people in such horrible manner and refuse my deposit back to try and force us to continue service with his company after putting hands a woman that is in my wedding party!

    How can they possibly expect us to continue our business with them after such bad behaviour towards a family member of ours and a wedding party member!

    Ivory Sky Media's reply:

    Dear Theresa,

    Our apologies for the delay in posting a response. As these are very serious claims, we wanted to make sure we were diligent in investigating your claims and that we took the time needed to ensure a comprehensive response.

    We understand that you are disappointed with our decision to adhere to the terms that were mutually agreed upon regarding your contract and non-refundable deposit, despite our many attempts at working with you via email and phone conversations.

    However, we find the claims you are making to be egregious and offensive with the sole purpose to defame and damage our business and we would like to address them.

    At Ivory Sky Media, we take violence and domestic abuse very seriously and we do not tolerate, promote or condone violent behavior or sentiments. As such, we took the time to interview the parties that you referenced, at length, who both found the depiction of the situation you described to be false. Furthermore, we reviewed the official police report which states that the owner of Ivory Sky Media was the uncontested victim of domestic violence, which definitively contradicts your claims.

    We have also come to understand that your post was made without consent from, and to the emotional distress of, the person you allege to be the victim.

    Ivory Sky Media is a people first company. Cultivating mutually respectful, positive, and safe relationships with our clients, staff, and business partners is our highest priority. This has been extremely difficult and painful not only to everyone at Ivory Sky Media, but to all parties that have been implicated. We are horrified by your accusation and deeply disturbed that you would alter the depiction of a domestic abuse situation to your own advantage and to satisfy your own personal feelings.

    Again, we acknowledge that you are unhappy with the policies in your contract that we both signed off on. We regret that this has happened in such a public forum to the emotional distress of so many, but we could not let your egregious claims go unaddressed.

    We sincerely apologize to our staff, clients, and to the parties involved for any confusion, stress or emotional pain that this has caused.

    Poor quality

    Poor quality work photography & videography. Spend a little more money and go somewhere else.

    Ivory Sky Media's reply:

    Sonia, thank you so much for your honest review of our services. While we came up short in delivering what you were expecting, I believe our team worked really hard to capture and deliver your wedding photos and videos from your special day. I would love to learn more about what we could have done to ultimately meet and exceed your expectations. I encourage you to respond here or reach out to me directly with any additional information that would help guide our team. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks again. -Allen, (owner) allen@ivoryskymedia.com
