    THE easiest YES!

    The easiest YES you will say other than the day you got engaged. I cannot say enough good things about this amazing duo. Amber arrived during a stressful time as I was scrambling to get ready, but she instantly lifted the spirits with everyone in the room. She took charge and helped lead the entire day. Honestly, she felt more like what my wedding planner was hired to do. She spoke up when things needed to move along and kept things flowing in the appropriate timeline. She even drove me to my wedding venue from my hotel, I mean this is the level of customer service we’re talking about here. She felt like an instant friend and made me feel so at ease during one of the most stressful times. Shortly after, I met Brian the other half to her team/her lovely husband. You can tell he’s the artist behind the scenes and in a good way we could hardly tell he was there, but also graciously lead us when we were confused on what to do. They were my favorite vendors and I would hire them all over again just so we could hangout with them again! I’m not kidding, they even got down on the dance floor with us and it felt like we were partying with our friends all while them capturing and making the most beautiful memories of us for us. The sneak peak video they gave us was UNREAL and the exact vibe we wanted so we are counting down the days for the full video! Thank you Amber & Brian !!! You are the best!!!

    1000000000/5 stars!

    This power couple not only produces the best wedding videos they're also incredibly fun to work with!! We've only had our video for a few weeks, and we've already watched it several times!! Amber and Brian are clearly experts at their craft. They make the entire experience so magical, working seamlessly with the rest of the crew we hired to get us ready and document our day! Amber is a dog whisperer, so if you want your dog in your wedding video, let them know! They will make it happen in the most heartwarming way! Brian spent 2 hours talking to us about our vision for the wedding video and trailer. When we initially spoke to him during our consultation, we shared our budget and what we wanted. He did not try to upsell us at all, but the way he spoke about the packages they offered, I knew we needed to find wiggle room in the budget to invest in these memories. Along the way, we added items to our package and had special requests that they graciously accommodated. Amber and Brian are THE choice for wedding videographers, and they are a blast on the dance floor! Trust them with your special day! They will exceed your expectations!!

    Just hire them already!

    They are so great to work with and not to mention they make the best wedding films I've ever seen! They made us feel so comfortable even during a stressful awkward day. The color grade and audio was so professional and we couldn't be happier with the result. We had about an hour meeting to go over every little detail that may cause confusion on the big day and it went so smoothly. They really care about their clients and it was helpful to nail down everything beforehand. If you're looking for a beautiful quality wedding video that will provide lifetime memories then Memory Machine Films should be who you book. I heard that the thing couples regret most about their wedding is not getting a videographer. So just make the decision and book them already!

    Amazing videography team

    My wife, Judy, and I were absolutely convinced we would *not* be hiring a videographer for our wedding. And then, while looking at different wedding videos for inspiration for our own wedding, we came across the amazing work of Amber and Brian at Memory Machine Films. We were stunned by how good their work was. That very night we decided that we would have a wedding videographer if and only if we could get them. Fortunately they were available on our wedding weekend. Their prep with us ahead of time was incredibly thorough. They captured our time with family, friends, and one another perfectly. Our own wedding videos are even more stunning than the ones we loved! I cannot recommend them highly enough.

    Look no further - hire them now!

    We really wish there were enough words to express how much we LOVE the video content Amber and Brian put together for us! They beautifully captured the essence of our very special day and as soon as we started watching the footage, we felt like we were transported back to the best day of our lives. They were also so professional and intentional throughout the entire process. We really appreciate how they created video magic that perfectly captured the emotions and special moments of our wedding day. 1,000,000 out of 10 recommend!!! ⭐️

    Memory machine films is the best of the best

    Amber & Brian are one of the best videographers in SoCal! They were hired for my sister in laws wedding and we were obsessed with their video so we had to hire them! They made the process so easy, and our video is INCREDIBLE! We recently had a good friend pass away and they including him in our video as much as they could, which was very special. You have to hire them for your wedding!!!!

    Book this team to re-live your wedding day forever!

    This will be long so the short version is: HIRE THE TEAM AT MEMORY MACHINE FILMS FOR YOUR WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHY!! My husband and I received our wedding video a week ago and I've watched it EVERY day since then. I've cried each time. I've laughed each time. I've shared it with friends and loved ones. The shared opinion across the board: BEST WEDDING VIDEO EVER! There isn't enough space in these reviews to fully express how impressed we were with their work but, if you're looking for a novel on why you NEED to book this team for your wedding, please read on. :)

    Starting long before the wedding, I began speaking with Brian in great detail about the process and how the wedding day would go. We discussed a timeline and how long shooting certain elements would take. We also discussed in detail the elements that were important to us so Brian and Amber could make sure they were captured. Throughout the pre-wedding process, they were completely available to answer any of my questions and calm my nerves.

    On the day of the wedding, both Brian and Amber were SO incredibly kind and helpful and really kept my husband and me smiling and laughing through the whole process. It's likely the first time any of us have had cameras following us around for hours! They made it completely natural and even fun! (Also, Amber was like my personal hype-woman all day telling me I was giving Grace Kelly vibes and I'd really just like to hang out with her every day of my life. lol)

    Also, I have to talk about their absolute HUSTLE! Every time I turned my head one of them was stealthily sneaking at the speed of light to another spot to get the perfect shot. They must get in like 40,000 steps at a wedding. When they left for the evening, I knew our wedding video was going to be absolutely breathtaking. And let me tell you...

    IT WAS! Every second of it is absolutely beautiful. It actually gave me goosebumps. They made sure to capture every single element that I had expressed to them was important to us. The music so perfectly pairs with every detail. Every shot is gorgeous and the editing is stunning. They truly have a gift for this. I can't wait for more of our friends or family to get married so I can recommend Memory Machine Films over and over again. Book them! Now!

    Best Videographers Ever

    My wedding was delayed 2 years due to Covid and they kept in touch with me through out that time. On our actual wedding day, Amber and Brian were so sweet and personal. We are so lucky to have found Memory Machine Films. Our highlight film turned out phenomenal and it brought me to tears. Highly recommend this company for any wedding!

    Best of the best wedding videographer!!!!!

    Words can’t express how much we love our videos. We knew right from the beginning that we got to have Amber and Brian film our wedding after watching almost their whole video portfolio. They are so professional, flexible and understanding especially when we had to go through the whole hassle of postponing our wedding multiple times due to Covid. We’re glad that we were still able to have them as our videographer at the end.
    Videos turned out more than perfect. They edited each wedding based on its vibe and flow so the final products would be like no others. Be seeing how much effort and dedication we put in on our special day, we knew the videos would be amazing and they truly are. We still can’t stop rewatching them every day ever since we received them. Highly recommended if you are in or even when you’re out of the area. There would be no regrets!!!

    The perfect wedding film

    Hands down the best!

    We chose Memory Machine Films (Amber and Brian) due to their amazing cinematic style, warm and friendly personalities, and detailed communication. They are passionate about what they do and it's evident in their high-quality work. I STRONGLY recommend that you hire them. You will not regret it! My husband and parents really did not want me to hire a videographer, and guess what... they're so happy that I didn't listen to them! That's how great Amber and Brian are!

    Amber and Brian captured beautiful action and detail shots. Moreover, they incorporated audio clips of our vows, loved ones' speeches, and music in such a moving and impactful way. I've received numerous comments from family and friends on how they teared up while watching our highlight video. As for me, I've watched our trailer and highlight videos at least once a day after receiving them.

    Amber and Brian were responsive and timely in their communication. Pre-wedding communication was thorough and they asked all the details to ensure they captured our priorities. During the wedding, their presence never felt intrusive. My husband and I aren't used to being the center of attention, let alone being filmed, but they provided us with guidance and prompts. As a result, we looked natural/ at ease in the videos. They were patient, positive, and professional throughout the entire time. Post-wedding, they continued to be responsive and delivered *perfection*.

    Thank you again, Amber & Brian! We love our video!

    Absolutely loved Amber and Brian!

    Amber and Brian of Memory Machine Films are incredible to work with. I found them online browsing different wedding videographers. You can tell that their process of learning about who you are, your style and preferences makes the video 100% customized to who you are. As a wedding planner myself, I was extremely picky with who I went with, and I'm glad I chose them!

    On event day they were super chill and as someone who feels weird about cameras following you around, sometimes you didn't even know they were there. They are wonderful to be around and their work is amazing.

    My husband makes fun of me because I watch my video about once a week. Their communication is awesome, and the advice they provide with venue, lighting, and sound is super valuable during the process. I highly recommend this team!

    Cinematic geniuses

    Amber and Brian are the sweetest most warm inviting people! My (now) husband and I had never been filmed prior to our wedding day, and we honestly felt so comfortable. Prior to the wedding, we spent time on the phone with Brian going over details so that way no detail went missed and that honestly made me feel so relaxed going into the wedding day. Don’t even get us started on the final product, truly a CINEMATIC experience. Everyone we have shown our wedding video to has been so impressed and raves. Thank you guys again, we are so so grateful!

    The best of the best!

    If you're looking for a wedding videographer, look no further! Memory Machine Films is the whole package. Brian and Amber are the masterminds behind the company, and they are not only the most personable and down-to-earth people ever, but they know weddings inside and out. They are highly professional and really take the time to get to know you and what you want to prioritize and feature in your film! We communicated to them about how our faith was important to us, and certain moments we really wanted to capture, and they delivered. We could not stop tearing up while watching our highlights film, as we were transported back to the emotional rollercoaster of the day. They truly care about each of their couples and have such a gift. Trust me, you will want them to stay and be a part of your wedding day.

    Best wedding videographer

    I didn’t want to spend money on a videographer but after being encouraged by family and friends I decided to book Amber and Brian at Memory Machine Films. Amber and Brian truly did an amazing job. At the wedding they were both so sweet and made us feel 100% comfortable with people we didn’t know recording our every move! After watching the video, my family and I were speechless. They captured everything perfectly. I felt transported back to that day, and I couldn’t help but cry out of joy and gratitude. The videos means everything to us. We are forever grateful for them and their amazing talent. We have pretty much watched it every day. They captured everything, even my husband voicing his love of my converse at the end which we felt was the perfect ending to our video! We love Memory Machine Films and will recommend them to everyone!!

    Our favorite Vendor Ever.

    My husband and I kept going back and forth between having a videographer or not; and let me say how important and special it is. After reviewing over 20 different videographers we stumbled upon Memory Machine Films. Their sentimental and romantic video style immediately gravitated us to them. We spent a good amount of time on the phone before hiring them, and a few days before our big day to go over the smallest details that we didn't even think about. Our best friends who got married a few months before us also used Memory Machine Films are their videographers and had a very similar experience. Brian and Amber are a dream couple to work with - flexible, friendly, professional, and caring. They really took the time to create a beautiful collection of moments that we can show our family and future children. We are forever grateful they were a HUGE part of our wedding team.

    You won't regret it!

    Amber and Brian were incredible to work with! I am obsessed with our wedding video. They went above and beyond to capture all of the big moments of our wedding day but also to catch the little moments and details as well. They are the kindest team and made our wedding day so easy! Hire them, you won't regret it!

    Memory Machine Films is your videographer MUST HAVE!

    Absolutely Amazing! I first hired Amber and Brian because of a previous wedding I saw of theirs and fell in love with the way they made their videos. Amber was so fun and bubbly and later on meeting her husband he was just as kind. They were extremely thorough asking us what we wanted them to focus on from decor to people, the type of vibe we wanted either sentimental or fun, what to bring and so many other questions we would have never thought of. Day of the wedding they went to work and I had full trust in their vision! I actually forgot they were at the wedding in the best way. When we saw our wedding film we were over the moon!! More then what we could have expected and it felt like we were transported back to that day all over again!! My mom couldn’t get over how well the quality was and kept saying it feels like we’re watching a reality tv show! We watched the videos back to back for about 3 hours and went through every emotion. My dad had recently passed after the wedding so it was such an emotional but happy experience to see him so happy on such a special day. Amber and Brian could have went in any direction to make our video but they knew of dads passing and the highlight had so many clips of him which we will forever be thankful for. They also created another video of just him for me and mom to have. I honestly couldn’t thank them enough for not only capturing our wedding the way it was felt, listening to us, the organization and being so kind as a videographer team/couple. Definitely go with Memory Machine Films because this is exactly what they do for your event. They create films to rewatch forever out of what could have been just a memory..

    We recommend them 100%

    Amazing Videographers!

    Words cannot describe how amazed I am at the work Memory Machine Films did for our wedding. I'm so thankful for how detailed-oriented, organized and communicative Amber and Brian were during the entire process. They took the lead and captured the most beautiful moments between my husband and I, as well as our friends and family on our wedding day. Videography was a must for my wedding, and my expectations were completely surpassed. I have watched our highlight video probably 50 plus times at this point. Amber and Brian are true artists and their masterpiece will forever be something my husband and I will cherish for the rest of our lives! Thank you so much, Amber and Brian!

    Phenomenon Team

    Amber and Brian are a true class act! The were so detailed in preparation for our wedding, even working through our multiple postponements due to Covid. On the day of it felt as if they were part of our best friend group. They are kind, supportive and bring SO much experience to the table. Our film was everything and more than we could have expected. Could not recommend them enough!

    Simply the BEST!

    If you need videographers to capture your most important day, look no further than Memory Machine Films. Amber and Brian not only make the BEST videos that capture the highlights, but they are also the most AMAZING people. They were so accommodating and flexible and we couldn't have asked for a better team to capture our day. All of the adults (who are always the toughest critics) were floored!
