    Great job shooting a charity event!

    We hired Martin for a charity event. He was very easy to work with and delivered a high-quality, professional product. I would hire him again for any type of event.

    Outstanding job capturing our wedding!

    Martin was our wedding videographer in summer 2023 and did an incredible job! The documentary approach was exactly what we were looking for - it captured all the moments we wanted to remember (full speeches, key ceremony parts, & reception highlights) without being too long. He set up multiple cameras to get different angles of the ceremony. We were also extremely impressed by the audio quality. There was even a song/speech that nobody could hear day of that came through perfectly clearly in the video. Martin was easy to work with and professional throughout the process. Would highly recommend!

    Couldn't be happier!

    We hired Martin as our wedding videographer for our wedding this past May and he was absolutely incredible to work with! Through our initial call with him, we could tell that he was extremely professional and experienced, and we knew he would capture our special day perfectly! He was very communicative and kind, and all the footage was beautiful and candid, exactly how we wanted! We thoroughly enjoyed having Martin as our wedding videographer and we can't recommend him enough!

    Couldn't be happier!

    Martin was recommended to us by our planner and we couldn’t be happier to have worked with him. He was extremely engaged and detail oriented throughout the process, from early planning to post-production. Not only did he and his team member capture high quality footage, he also put together a series of really well produced videos that tell a beautiful story of our multi-event wedding. Much to our delight, he also delivered everything within 6 weeks(!) and promptly made the minor adjustments we requested. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend working with MartinFILMS!

    Martin was easy to work with and produced an incredible video of our wedding!

    We hired Martin for our wedding this past June and loved working with him. He was extremely communicative from the start and was quick to respond when we reached out to him. He jumped on the phone with us a couple of times to discuss what our hopes were for our wedding video. He even visited our venue in advance to get an idea of how to best film the location and all of the elements of our ceremony. The video Martin produced was stunning. It perfectly captured the events of the day as well as the emotions we were all feeling. His turn around time was quick, and we also appreciated that he filmed the whole ceremony and provided that footage as well. We’re so glad we found Martin for such an important piece of our day!

    Martin is fabulous!

    Martin was such a joy to work with on our wedding day! He is incredibly kind and professional. We could really tell that he knew what he was doing on our wedding day. He was very thorough in his set up and making sure to capture not only the big moments of the day, but the scenery and the small moments. You can really tell that he loves what he does and that he cares for the couples he works with. We really loved working with him and can’t recommend him enough!

    Responsive videographer who captured our day perfectly

    We hired Martin as our wedding videographer and could not have had a better experience. He was extremely responsive throughout the entire process, responding the emails the same day if not within the hour. Martin was also extremely flexible with the changes we made due to COVID leading up to our wedding. On the day of the wedding, he was our lowest stress vendor! He captured everything without any fuss, only jumping in with a few requests here and there. We felt Martin did an amazing job editing, our videos came out perfectly. They captured our day just as we remembered it. If you're looking for a low-stress videographer who will put together beautiful videos, I would definitely recommend Martin!

    Fantastic service for wedding videos

    Martin did an amazing job for our wedding videos!
    Martin was great to work with. He provided us with a ton of flexibility as we worked with another photographer, and through out the planning process always made sure all are questions were answered.

    At the wedding day he showed-up in time, and everything was set up to record our ceremony, dinner and party. The quality of the videos are fantastic, he share a video teaser few days after the wedding and the full ceremony recordings just right after.

    Highly recommend MartinFilms for all your video needs!

    Incredible Service!

    We are so happy we chose Martin to capture our wedding day. From the start, Martin was very professional, fast to respond whenever needed, and a breeze to work with. Our wedding film is perfection -10/10! He captured every moment and more. The details he focused on were amazing and we are so thankful for him capturing the best moments on our special day. A wedding video is something you will have forever to look back on, and we highly recommend Martin for all your video needs!!

    Great Videographer

    We're so happy that we hired Martin as our wedding videographer. He did a great job of capturing all the important moments of our day and did a great job of making us feel comfortable in front of the camera.

    Outstanding!

    Martin was our first choice when choosing videographers in the San Francisco area. We were impressed with past films highlighted on his website and were excited to see what he would do for our film. 3 days after our wedding we received our wedding film and 3 minute highlight and both were perfect. He captured every important moment and detail and created something so beautiful. I know we will cherish this for a long time!!

    It was incredible working with Martin. He met us before the wedding to understand what we expected from him and was very responsive when we had questions. Also the videos were composed very beautifully not missing out any single detail.

    Martin was fantastic! His focus on capturing the moments, ambiance and moods is what made the video of our daughter's wedding so worth it! Loved Martin's film editing and how he stitched together the story with video snippets that follow each other seamlessly.

    I knew I wanted to work with Martin from the day I got engaged! He filmed my older sister's wedding in 2011 and we still watch her videos year after year. Martin was responsive to emails and easy to work with. He arrived early the day of my wedding and captured the essence of the day. Martin delivered our videos faster than I could have hoped for and we watch them with delight, reliving our magical day. Thank Martin for giving us the best gift, the memories of our day in videos!

    Martin is a wonderful videographer! Martin filmed our wedding in May and did an amazing job. Although we barely noticed him filming (before the ceremony, during the ceremony, and at the reception), he captured every important moment. The videos he provided us came very quickly and are truly perfect. He is talented, artistic, and very passionate about what he does. Martin is very knowledgeable and willing to offer his opinion, but is also committed to doing things the way you want them done. His prices are more than reasonable and he is very responsive to questions, during the planning stages. I can't say enough positive things about Martin and the films he produces. Search no further and hire him now!

    We really enjoyed working with Martin for our wedding. I had seen some of his work online before booking him, and chose him for his style and the artistry he puts into his films. His films are not just a bunch of clips hacked together but rather really evoke a sense of elegance and romanticism perfect for wedding footage. When I first talked to him he was very good about asking us about what moments on the big day were going to matter the most to us, to be sore to focus his filming on those. I also had the chance to meet with him once in person before our wedding, and he was great to talk with. Just a genuine artist who really enjoys what he does. We hired him for 2 days for our wedding events, and both days he was there earlier than the time we had asked him to be there, all set up and ready to go. He was great at capturing all of our favorite moments while never interrupting the flow of the day. It was an Indian wedding...meaning that there was so much going on...dancing, a horse, a huge guest count, etc. but Martin captured it all. We booked a photographer that he had never worked with, but they worked very well together and were both able to give us a fantastic product even though we didn't allot much time for picture taking in the middle of our events. In the final product, on top of capturing our favorite memories of the day, I noticed his fantastic ability to set his clips to music. The films are timed perfectly. I highly recommend MartinFILMS!

    I had the privilege of working with Martin at martinFILMS for both my own wedding (in 2011) and my daughter's wedding (last year in 2013). Martin's video work has provided us with a very rich and memorable resource for these very special days. We are so thrilled with his work.

    My own dabbling with video creation as a hobby has helped me to better appreciate Martin's talent as a videographer and as an artist. We had two very different wedding themes - with my wedding in 2011 following a relatively traditional (though on the fancy-side) garden wedding with all our eight grown children and two brand new grandbabies in the wedding party - and my daughter and son-in-law's more rustic (though elegant) wedding, involving a two-day family camp in the redwoods. Melissa and Justin had a beautiful ceremony in an open field, under an arch adorned with flowers, with hay bale seating and a large wedding party. Their wedding weekend involved numerous activities and festivities including a campfire and games, an amazing live band at the reception and folk dancing!

    Martin captured the spirit of each day in amazing detail - and provided a fresh and loving perspective of these special days, including all the traditional elements of the day as well as unexpected moments. His use of multiple cameras and his editing work is truly amazing. We treasure the videos he created for us and trust and appreciate his good eye for capturing our most precious events. I highly recommend Martin as a videographer. He is wonderful and gracious to work with and is a talented professional in his work.

    Martin filmed our wedding in 2011 and my sister's wedding just a few weeks ago (March 2018). He was amazing both times and we recommend him to everyone we know! His packages are affordable--especially in the world of wedding films! Martin was prompt--showing up early to both events in order to ensure that he had the lay of the land. He provided the finished product within a couple of weeks each time. Martin is able to capture the sentimental and party moments in a way that makes us feel like we are reliving them when we watch them months and years later. He even changed his set up in the middle of the speeches at my sister's wedding in order to fully capture my MOH speech with bridesmaid participation. Book Martin now, you won't be disappointed!

    Selecting a videographer was one of the toughest decisions when planning our wedding. So much work goes into the details and the day goes by so fast, so it was very important to me to have a creative, high quality reproduction of the wedding day. Martin was incredibly professional from our first inquiries, through the planning stages, to the wedding itself. I was immediately impressed by his responsiveness to all my questions and how receptive he was to my suggestions and requests. By the time the wedding day came, I was completely confident in his ability to do the job with his own unique style, while still incorporating all the nuances that were important to my husband and me.

    At the wedding, Martin was as professional as ever. He arrived early, he was unobtrusive – particularly during our ceremony – and he stayed late to capture every important moment. The assistant he hired was equally professional and talented. Martin was well-prepared with multiple high quality HD cameras, to capture a variety of angles and provide redundancy in the unlikely event one of them broke. He works very hard and takes great pride in the quality and thoroughness of his work.

    The true test of course, is the final product. My husband and I are extremely pleased with all three of the films Martin made for us. The quality and continuity of each film is excellent. The highlight film is short and sweet, capturing snippets of all the important moments – a wonderful treat for guests! The full length film (about 45 minutes), is the perfect documentary of the day, recording each of the big events, but still taking time to focus on the important details I spent so much time putting together. But our absolute favorite is the short film. In 15 minutes, Martin put together a non-linear, elegant story of our wedding day, stringing together a series of intimate moments with my husband and me, to a voice over of my father’s beautiful speech. Martin is an artist.

    MartinFilms by far exceeded our expectations. Martin himself is extremely professional, personable and talented in what he does. When shooting the video for our wedding he gets the shot he needs without being in the way. You hardly know he is there. His communication skills are terrific and he is very thorough in finding out all the important details before your wedding day so that he is prepared for the shoot.
    I would highly recommend MartinFilms for your wedding. We are so pleased with our video. It truly feels like a professional film as opposed to a cheesy wedding video. We have had countless compliments from friends and family on the final product! Thank you Martin!

    Martin was the consummate professional. Very flexible - we were lucky that he was available on relatively short notice, as we had an 'off season' (January) wedding in the bay area. His work is outstanding! We feel like our wedding video is a fine documentary film. Even with the short amount of time we had to prepare, he got to know us as a couple and captured the essence of our union and all the details that made our wedding day so special and complete. AND he did his best to work within our budget. I give the highest recommendation for his services!
