Absolutely recommend!

We love our video! Kalyan was amazingly flexible and accommodating with the chaos of our wedding day and finished editing our video very quickly so we could enjoy it. I highly recommend KDC studio to anyone looking for a videographer!

We had a great experience with Kaylan. He spent a lot of his personal time making sure that an arrangement that we have made would work - combining the live video streaming from the church and recording the video. He went above and beyond what I would expect: from going to meet me in the church in Seattle to test the video and cameras, to spending hours (literally) with me over the phone testing Skype to make sure my family members in Europe can see everything, and that all software works. When we faced a challenge of YouTube suddenly changing the way it worked to render it useless for our purpose just a week before the wedding, Kaylan spent much of his own time researching other options, until we zeroed in on Skype as the most reliable one. Kaylan showed up early in the church to set up, and confirmed with me and my best man that everything works well. He recorded with two cameras to provide me with a much better video quality recording than what we would have had from just YouTube saving the online stream. He was happy to travel over half an hour to the reception site in Everett, and stayed even longer than I expected, recording the party and allowing us to share this very special moment with members of my family that could not make it. Kaylan approached each problem in a very professional way, being very patient and proactive to achieve an optimal solution. I would definitely recommend Kaylan and his KDC Studio for any videography or photography arrangement, especially one requiring an online streaming. It was a pleasure to work with him.

Kalyan was great at capturing our moments from various angles, patiently guided us with various positions to get the best shots possible. We are extremely happy with the awesome job he did. He was very easy to work with and accommodating of our requests. Thank you Kalyan.

Choosing Kaylan to photograph our wedding was a great decision! He captured our wedding moments perfectly. Through-out the wedding planning, wedding ceremony and reception Kalyan was professional, personable, knowledgeable, creative and there for us. In addition, we had family and friends on the east coast unable to travel to Seattle. Prior to our wedding Kalyan helped us with setting up the Skype (live broadcast). On the day of the wedding everyone was able to successfully join us via Skype.

Well where do I start ? First of all Kalyan and his assistant are two of the nicest and most professional people you will ever meet. I really believe they were a big part of making our wedding beautiful and successful. Very accommodating and patient. Weddings are stressful enough but I came from out of state for my wedding, and Kalyan assured me everything would be alright, and it was it was, they went over and above to make sure of that. I don't know how they did it but they took a ton of pictures and video and it seemed like we didn't even see them that much. I've been to weddings where all you see is the photographer. When we received our wedding package we couldn't believe how many pictures we had. The video was beautifully done and captured everything we wanted. The pictures both candid and posed are just beautiful. I can't say enough about how happy and pleased we are with KDC. The reason they got only 5 starts is because we couldn't give them 10 stars. >) They did beautiful work and made our special day even more special and for that we will always be thankful. If you are looking for the best of the best look no further than KDC. Thank You Kalyan for everything.

Kalyan really worked with us to understand our needs and give us a superior product, even though we are a small organization with a limited budget. We will definitely be hiring him again for our bigger productions!

It was a great experience using KDC Studio for our 25th anniversary. They were very professional and very accommodative on timing and requests. They made the event memorable with all the candid clicks and provided great tips on group photos. They made it very casual to suit the mood of the event.

KDC studios was AMAZING! They arrived early, dressed professional, and was very accommodating for such a stressful but beautiful day, our WEDDING! We had a "skit" in our wedding and KCD captured every minute of it as if it were video taped! It was awesome! We also received our wedding photos back pretty quick! The pictures were very beautiful! They make me happy, every time I look at them!

Working with Kalyan was wonderful! From the very beginning he was very responsive and professional and worked out a custom package to meet our needs. We met with him before the wedding to go over our timeline and what we wanted. During our wedding, our DJ had messed up on our first song so Kalyan fixed it for us and included it as part of the music in our video. I also loved the drone view on the videos which is something pretty cool. My family and I loved our video and it was truly a pressure to work with Kalyan!

Kalyan was wonderful to work with for our wedding. Prior to signing a contract with him, he was willing to meet with us to see if we would work together well and if we shared the same vision for what we would like to see in our wedding video. He was easy to contact and responsive to our emails/phone calls. The day of the wedding, I didn't have to worry about anything, he was ready to go. He arranged it so that we could get additional footage in our church which is fairly restrictive on filming. We treasure the finished product. Thank you so much Kalyan for documenting our wedding for us to enjoy for years to come!

KDC is an amazing value! The video was wonderful! I honestly don't know how he got all of that footage, I think I saw him maybe twice but he seriously got footage of EVERYTHING and from different angles! Kalyan is extremely polite, professional, and kind. I can't say enough good things about my experience with him, I'd hire him again in a heartbeat!

Kalyan did a wonderful job at our wedding. He captured the important moments and everlasting memories. He is great to work with; he is responsive and attentive. You will not be disappointed! If there are issues, he works with you. He is truly, a good videographer.

I hired Kalyan for my August wedding. He's very easy to work with - friendly, patient, and professional. He captured posed, candid, and artistic close-up shots that made the most of our venue's architecture and surroundings. He responded quickly to all of my questions before and after the wedding. I highly recommend Kalyan to everyone looking for superb photography at an affordable price.

We hired Kalyan last year to do our wedding. He was very quick with the responses and that is greatly appreciated during wedding planning. He was on time to the event. He made sure he caught all the important moments during the day. He is a very nice guy and easy to work with. We really enjoyed the final video that he put together from the days events. I would absolutely recommend his services to anyone looking for a videographer.

Kalyan was amazing! Our video was fantastic! I didn't even seen him much at the wedding cause I was so busy, but he got every little detail, even without me asking! The video was perfect pace and the editing was incredible. He got different angles of everything so it wasn't the same shot the whole time. It was very smooth and not shaky at all. Very professional. Very nice guy. I was very impressed with our video and I would recommend Kalyan 100%.

Good quality photos and video. Very nice people, and keep you up to date about the event and when the photos/video would be ready. Easy to contact through phone/emails if you had any questions before and after the event. Affordable photo/video package. Would recommend for another formal occasion. Thank you!

Originally my sister used him for her wedding, a year later our neighbor used him at his wedding, so when it came time for my wedding, I knew just who to use. Great prices, and high quality pictures. They were beautiful and I loved how he worked well with my schedule. I'm not the easiest to work with (time wise or idea wise), but he did a great job keeping me (the bride) happy. And when it's your wedding the last thing you want weighing in your mind is what's going on with the photographer. He's very professional.

He captured the evening, the festivities, and those attending very well. He provided us with a lasting memory. There were four very minor editing blips, but in the entire scheme of things, it was a very wonderful presentation.

It was a wonderful pleasure to work with Kalyan and we were very happy with our wedding video and highly recommend KDC Studios for videography. We appreciate his flexibility with scheduling meetings and that he went above and beyond in editing our video. Very easy to work with and is truly passionate about what he does. Thank you, KDC Studios!

I found this location on line and choose them because of the price - It was within our small budget. Kaylan was great with responding back and forth via email and he was on time and very professional. He shoot lots of footage and I am still waiting on the finished product. I am hoping that the quality is wonderful... That is why I only gave 3.5 stars - I haven't seen the finished product!

Kalyan at KDC was a fantastic individual to work with. There is a lot of stress that comes with trying to put together the wedding you want. When you work with Kalyan he creates one less stress you have to worry about. Together Kalyan and yourself will sit down and decide what you want for your special day and he will do everything in his power to have videos so special that it is like you are reliving that special wedding day all over again. We have been married a year and we still watch the videos he created for us and it is like we are there all over again.

Thank you so much Kalyan!

While the price was very good with KDC, the overall experience was a total nightmare. He showed up late to the ceremony, but was apologetic. I thought he was doing a good job getting footage, until I saw the finished DVD. OMG, I was so upset when I watched it. He did a terrible job of getting continuous shots of everyone coming down the isle, It was like he didn't want to waste tape. There were little clips of people walking down the isle. Then, because he was only getting clips of everyone, he covered up the music I had playing with this terrible 70s porn music. It was Horrific. I want to hear the music I chose to play!! As if that wasn't bad enough, when the toasts came up, He was taping... everything was fine. Until we get to the last toast. My bridesmaid was giving her toast and it cut out right in the middle of it! I could not believe it! After a few seconds of black screen, the toasts started from the top and finished with no cutting out. THANK GOD!
Later in the DVD there were clips that were trying to show the detail of the building, which was fine... except for the fact that he would catch random people in the shot (they weren't just standing there... they would look at the camera and says 'oops... sorry'), and realize that he needed to do the shot again. The second time he attempted he get the shot. WTF!!! He clearly doesn't know how to fricken edit! This happened probably 5 or 6 times. It was really bad.

When I e-mailed Kalyan about the problems that I had with the DVD, (I e-mailed him because I called his phone probably 10 times over the course of a week) He asked me to call him. When I finally got him on the phone he wanted to argue with me over every little thing. He wanted me to check the total run time of the DVD, because if it were under 70 minutes, there is no way the the toasts could have run twice... really? you want to argue with me over this? When I told him that if he had bothered to proof this DVD he would no be having this problem, he said that he did proof it and that none of the issues I'm seeing were on the DVD. He wanted me to go through the entire DVD and record the play time stamp associated with all of the editing issues. I told him I would mail the DVD back to him so he could watch it and do that himself, But he said that he would just send me a new copy with the "issues" fixed.

He ended up fixing most of the problems that I had with his editing, and after sending me a total of 3 DVDs, I finally had a DVD that was ok. The DVD is so frustrating to watch. I want to see everyone taking their time to get down the isle, I was to see my flower girls throwing petals, but instead I have little 3 second clips of each person. I would have been better off giving my 5 year old niece a video camera.

I am a pretty easy person to work with, but this was a terrible experience. To all those brides out there looking into KDC studios, just remember you get what you pay for.
