    Would Reccomend!

    We hired Amari Productions to film our wedding and they delivered exactly what we needed. From our first conversation, they were straightforward about what to expect and easy to work with throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, they captured all the important moments without getting in the way, and we loved working alongside our photographer Gene to make sure everything was coordinated. Amari Productions is professional, reliable, and worth every penny if you want quality photography and videography without the hassle.

    Em from Amari was the best!

    We worked with Em from Amari Productions for our wedding at the Adamson House in August. She was awesome. She had a great eye for both posed and candid shots across the entirety of our event, and captured all of the best moments beautifully. She balanced great coverage without ever being disruptive or in the way. When directing posed photos of my wife and I or the larger group photos, she was direct and professional but not terse, which kept the proverbial train moving efficiently while we enjoyed the shoot. Amari pricing was fair and we got our photos quickly after the event. We're so glad we went with Amari!

    Incredible Photographer/Videographer Team!

    We absolutely loved our experience with Amari Productions! Their team was incredibly thoughtful, professional, and communicative the entire wedding weekend, and leading up to the wedding. We would highly recommend a photographer/videographer package as the team's work is incredible. The quality of their videography was truly beautiful and memorable, and their services were well-priced. We couldn't be happier!

    Amazing Wedding Videography!

    I can’t recommend Amari Productions highly enough! We used their services for the videography for our wedding and they were incredible. The team was so kind and professional, and the final product is a beautiful video that we still watch now, years later. The short ‘teaser’ video on instagram was also a really nice addition. I highly recommend working with Amari Productions!

    All time favorite videographers

    We got our wedding video back and WOW, I couldn’t be more obsessed with it! It perfectly portrays just how amazing of a day it was & now we can cherish and re-live every moment forever. The videographers were professional and kind and had a creative eye and vision. They managed to capture every important moment and even the smallest of details. They worked well next to the photographers & offered their own ideas. The drone footage captured is next level and worth the add-on. They put the video together within the expected time frame & truly listened to how we wanted the video to be created. I am blown away with their work and expertise!
