In the wedding industry, videographers are a dime a dozen, but rarely do I get to work with videographers who are talented and professional. Fisheye Studio is the rare kind- they are both. They produce amazing, consistent work that tells the story of each couple's wedding day beautifully. And they are a joy to work with. As a wedding photographer Lovisa Photo I always hope for a symbiotic relationship with the videography team since we are both there to do our job and produce beautiful work for the couple. I love that Fisheye Studio was considerate of staying out of my team's shots and vice versa, so we could both do our best work. Not only that, they were very friendly and experienced and contributed to the banter with the couple that put them at ease in front of all of our cameras. If you are looking for a videographer, you've found the right studio and you would be choosing wisely if you chose Fisheye Studio. They deserve every one of these 5 stars and more!. I hope to work with them again as much as possible!
Fisheye Studio was truly a blast to have in capturing and being a part of our wedding day. They were fun and easy going which greatly helped make our day go smooth and less stressful. They produced an awesome video for us to have and share and we are so glad we chose them over the many others. Josh and his team takes great effort in getting to know their clients and also at ensuring each story that they capture and produce, stands out from the rest. They have a unique and creative style in shooting perspectives and editing which give their videos a complete cinematic feel. We highy recommend Fisheye Studio and know you will be very happy you chose them.
Fisheye Studio is awesome, and definitely recommended for wedding videography! We got married in Seattle, and they flew out to video the wedding for us. My wife and I absolutely love our wedding highlights video and watch it quite often. We have received numerous compliments about it from both family and friends, and even friends of friends we haven't even met. Many of our friends were so impressed that they still watch it three years later, and any time the topic of a wedding comes up our video is usually shown. When you still get compliments about your video three years later, you know that it is truly fantastic, and not just a biased opinion from the bride and groom. Working with Joshua was awesome. He was professional, easy-going, and exceptionally talented. When planning for our wedding, others told us not to waste money on a videographer, but we knew that a video was the best way to preserve our memories. I would argue that it's equal in importance to the photographer. Fisheye Studio perfectly preserved that special day and all of its memories.
My first interaction with Fisheye Studio was actually at my good friend's wedding in Hawaii. I was in her wedding party, so I saw firsthand how involved and dedicated the videographers were in capturing every moment, no matter how small. Then, when it came time to watch the Same Day Edit, I was blown away by the authentic way they were able to capture the raw emotions of the day. They so quickly pieced together the bride and groom's story in such a captivating way. Even though I lived in California, I knew that these were the only videographers that I wanted at my own wedding. I got married at the historic Mission Inn in Riverside, California on June 18, 2011. They were so flexible and enthusiastic to make my day incredibly special. I liked that they took the time to get to know my husband and me as well as our relationship. You could tell that they incorporated our personalities and style in our wedding video, which I loved. My husband and I are both Indian and Fisheye made sure to capture the more cultural aspects of our wedding as well. They were extremely professional, friendly, timely, resourceful, and creative. I was impressed that they came to the venue a few days prior to scope out the best areas to film and to get footage for the wedding. They were very patient with our busy schedules and even waited for us for an hour while we were stuck in LA traffic. They also went above and beyond seeking out special equipment in order to get the best views from every angle, including above. It's been seven years since my wedding, and my husband and I are still brought to tears every time we watch our Same Day Edit and wedding video. And every one of our friends who has gotten married after us has asked who our videographer was because they loved the SDE so much. I definitely would recommend Fisheye Studio to any bride, including those having an Indian wedding.
Confession: I am a wedding video junkie. I first learned about Fisheye wedding photography from the Wedding Cafe and proceeded to watch ALL of their public wedding videos. When I started planning my wedding, I knew fisheye would be my vendor. One wedding later, I couldn't be happier with the product, but it's the experience of working with the fisheye team that really sticks with me and sets this company apart from the rest. Three things that I appreciate about working with fisheye. 1. They embraced and honored us as a couple. The first time I met up with Josh and Michael, they gave my fiance and I a questionnaire to get to know us. I adore those weddings and videos where the groom gushes over his bride emotionally and verbally during the event...but that's not my groom. My groom leans hard on humor. He claims to only have cried due to hitting his hand with a hammer. I secretly worried my day wouldn't be as easy to capture the meaningful moments. The Fisheye team nailed it. There's this one clip that sticks out to me of us secretly practicing our first dance in a corner and he was making me laugh. Those are the sweet moments where my man shines. Fisheye captured it. 2. They honored our story and took a few adventures with us. Something that was important to me was getting married in a Catholic church. We chose to do this before the celebration with our family. I didn't think they would be able to capture both events but without asking Josh told me "this is part of your story and we are going to be there". We combined it with our engagement shots and honestly those are probably my favorite memories from our wedding event. Also, Michael trusted me when I drove him out to some old abandoned ruins for an engagement background. Again, some of my fav shots of the whole event. 3. They captured all the details I wanted and more. My wedding was very DIY so naturally I wanted all that hard work to be captured which they did. But also, they caught some beautiful things that I was quick to overlook. At the church wedding I made a cake. It tasted delicious but looked...well...less than professional. I found michael taking a picture of it. When I asked why he said he just loved the texture of it. When I looked again, something that I had written off as ugly, took a whole new look for me. It's small and silly but that's another beautiful memory. That picture makes me smile so much. Long story short, Fisheye was my favorite vendor from my wedding. I loved both the product and the experience working with Josh and his team. I KNOW you will too
I would have begged Fisheye Studio to capture our wedding day if I had to! I searched high and low for just the right style of videographer for our wedding and as soon as we saw their videos online, we knew they were right for us. I contacted Joshua Fair, the Director, via e-mail very early on in our planning to inquire about their services. I was immediately impressed. Joshua was so friendly and warm in his e-mails with us. We live in Minneapolis and were married on Maui, so it was important that our vendors be easy to work with because we were so far away. Fisheye is located on Oahu, but they offer the option to travel and I was so thrilled that they were available for our wedding. On the day of the wedding, Joshua and Michael were at our hotel bright and early and welcomed us with big hugs. Joshua stayed with the girls as we got ready and Michael filmed the guys. I didn’t even notice Joshua was there the majority of the time. They were easy to work with and they kept the mood light throughout the day. Every single one of our guests commented that day, and the days following, how impressed they were with the videographers. They were so unobtrusive. Also, there is not one shot where you can see someone that doesn’t belong i.e. photographer, wedding planner, etc. As part of our package, we had a “day after” shoot. This allows them to get some cool shots that we couldn’t do on the day of the wedding for fear of getting my beautiful white dress dirty!. The day after the wedding, Joshua and Michael picked us up at 8 a.m. and we were off to get some really amazing shots. They took care of everything and picked out the perfect location. We were sad when we had to say goodbye because we wished we could have spent more time with them on our vacation! They had to leave that day to go back to Oahu, but Joshua made a special trip back to Maui a few weeks later to capture some of the landmarks and beauty of the island to include in our video. Wow! Fisheye Studio does not describe themselves as videographers, but rather as cinematographers and it is clear why. Cinematography is so much more than just setting up a video camera on a tripod. It is a skill of putting the different shots together to tell the perfect story of us as a couple, to show how we were feeling in each moment and to include every detail of our perfect day. They have top-of-the-line cameras, the best editing equipment out there and their eye for detail and their way of capturing all of the little moments is truly unique. The work they do is second to none and that was clear in our final videos. My husband and I were at a loss for words when we saw our videos for the first time. One of our favorite things was the song selections, which is left up to Fisheye. We had a reception at home a few months after our Maui wedding and we were able to share our day with family and friends who couldn’t be in Hawaii with us. Everyone was just in shock when they saw our videos turned out. They had never seen anything like it. We have watched our highlight and full-length videos numerous times and we have even kept in contact with Joshua since our wedding. We are so happy they were there to capture our special day and we would recommend them to anyone. There is really only one word to describe how we feel about Fisheye Studio and their work: PERFECTION!
I have worked at this company for 9 years and love it! The freedom and opportunity to create compelling video pieces telling varied stories is what makes it such a wonderful place to be.
