Farabi was amazing to work with! Such great value, and he made us an incredible engagement video. He was also super accommodating whenever I asked for changes or little tweaks, and always made the process easy and stress-free. He’s incredibly pleasant, professional, and talented. Highly recommend!

Details: Wedding • 51 - 100 guests • Indoors • Highlight video (3 - 4 minutes) • Immediate day-of editing to show during event

Thank you so much, Heni! Your engagement video was a joy to create — you two made every shot easy. I’m glad the revision process felt smooth and stress-free; that’s exactly the experience I aim for. Wishing you both an amazing wedding, and I’d love to capture it when the day comes!

Farabi has done a wonderful job in not only accommodating to my husband and my requests but also the wedding venue. He displayed professionalism in following the lead of the other vendors, responding in a timely manner and being transparent about his videography packages. We are truly so grateful for his hardwork and work ethic as he captured beautiful moments of our wedding in different angles and perspectives. My husband and I did the first look during the ceremony so we missed out seeing our wedding party walk through during the processional and our friends and family's reactions in the audience so it felt nice being able to see it all. Thank you so much Farabi!

Details: Wedding • 20 guests or fewer • Indoors • Raw footage

Thank you so much, Elisha — this means a lot! Coordinating with your venue and the other vendors made the day run smoothly, and I’m so glad the film let you experience the processional and your guests’ reactions that you missed during the first look. That’s exactly why capturing multiple angles matters. Wishing you and your husband all the best!

We loved working with him! He was kind, professional, and an excellent communicator throughout the entire process. He made us feel comfortable and was a pleasure to work with. The only things we wished had been included were our private vows and the footage of my son walking our dog down the aisle. It seems there was a misunderstanding regarding the private vows, so I don’t believe it was intentional. Overall, we’re very happy with the experience and would recommend him to anyone looking for a sweet, professional, and talented videographer.

Details: Wedding • 21 - 50 guests • Indoors • Outdoors • Full feature video (30 - 40 minutes) • Music overlay

Farabi was a dream! Quick to respond to my last minute request for celebrating a milestone birthday. He arrived and blended seamlessly into the event and then had me smiling ear to ear when I got the photos back. He captured the smiles and hugs and the genuine laughter at the party - and even the great dance floor shots! So glad I had a last minute hunch that we needed to document the night!! I’ll cherish these forever

Details: Birthday party • 50 - 99 guests • Indoors • Physical proofs or prints

Thank you so much, Bridget! I’m so glad you followed that last-minute hunch — milestone birthdays deserve to be documented, and your party made it easy with all that genuine energy on the dance floor. Enjoy those photos for years to come!

The best. Capture every moment. Because of those pictures I transmitted back to daughter sweet sixteen. would hire again and again and again. I can’t forget to mention the accommodating he was with all the inconveniences that occurred that day he’s the best his work speaks for itself.
