Reviews for Axiom Videography
GUEST




I found Robert while looking for an affordable videographer package and that is what I found. Axiom's prices are very reasonable and very worth it. My videographer assigned to our wedding was Robb. He was very easy to work with. My fiance and I are both camera shy but honestly I never even noticed Robb was there. The 2 minute video clip that you get with the music is great! With the starter package I also got an edited version of the wedding (ceremony, toasts, dancing, bouquet toss, etc) and then a tape of all the raw footage. The raw footage was great. Robb the camera guy really did catch so many different sights of the wedding. It was such a treat for us to watch it after the big day. Robert was very easy to reach and work with. He answered all my questions in great detail and quickly. We also got the video back a month after the wedding! It was so quick. So glad I went with axiom




We loved Axiom. The pictures came out great. The way Robert treated our guests was fantastic. He knows his way around a wedding. We are very pleased with the whole package.

Just use them. While price competitive, this stuff always stings. Met a few times, at my convenience (thank you!). Options were easily discussed and agreed upon. Readily showed samples to get a feel for what we wanted. Definitely recommended.




Planning my California wedding was frustrating; I was living in Honolulu and had to research all of my vendors on the internet. Needless to say this was difficult because of the time difference and the fact that some businesses don’t check their emails....then I found Robert Valdes. He IMMEDIATLEY called me back with quotes and promised to save the date.
When I finally met Robert he was fun and likeable; he didn't rush the meeting, offered suggestions, LISTENED, and even gave me a CD of him singing (more about this later). His wedding albums were so beautiful I purchased one. A really neat metallic hardcover album…..cool.
The day of he was professional and RELAXED, which made me relaxed. He immediately posted our photos on the internet and mailed us a CD. His photos were so pretty and artsy, yet conservative enough that we could frame them.
Thank you Robert, for helping us with our day. I know you see a million weddings, but we will only have our one, and your beautiful pictures will help us remember it forever.

We got our video about 2 months after the wedding. We were very pleased with the result and we enjoy looking at the video. Robert is extremely easy to work with and the videographer was great, on time and conducted himself in a very professional manner at the wedding.

Update: We hired Robert Valdes (through the videography arm of his company, Acxiom Videography) to shoot our wedding video! After having such a great experience working with him while we were considering photography options, I was delighted to be able to book him for our wedding video. He even customized a package to fit our budget. A day or two after we returned from our honeymoon, the videos were waiting for us in the mail. We couldn't wait to see it, and popped it in the DVD player immediately, even though it was already our bedtime. The video captured everything that we wanted, the music was pleasant and the sound was good. We have a friend who wants to make a music video of sorts out of the wedding footage, and he was even generous enough to give us a separate audio file with the ceremony sound as a wedding gift.I highly recommend him both for the experience working with him, and for the final product. We couldn't be happier, and I'm so glad that we decided to get a wedding video so that our family who couldn't attend could participate, as well as for potential future children to see.

Working with Robert Valdes Photography and Axiom Videography was a great experience. They did a great job of capturing the special moments of our special day. It was a great value, and he and his crew were a pleasure to work with. It worked out really well having them do both the video and pictures for us. Our families as well as Jim and I are so happy with all of our pics and videos!!!




We hired Robert Valdes for photography and Videography. I am unbelievably happy that we did! Photography is such an important part of the big day. Robert was absolutely fantastic! We could not have been more pleased. Robert along with his assistant were able to capture all the most important moments of the day. The pictures were absolutely beautiful. Robert is a true artist. He has amazing attention to detail he managed to capture not only our faces but our emotions as well. We have received nothing but compliments on our pictures. The videography was amazing as well. We were actually debating on whether we should do videography or not. I am so glad we did. It was so much fun getting to relive those moments again and see all those hilarious and sweet moments that we missed. He has great customer service and always got back to me in a very timely manner. Robert Valdes is the way to go. You will not be disappointed!

Axiom Videography and Photography is absolutely amazing! Robert Valdes Managed to capture all of the most important and poignant moments of our big day. He is a true artist and has great attention to detail. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all of our pictures and our video. If you want truly amazing pictures and video for one of the most important days of your life Robert Valdes is definitely the way to go.




We found Robert to be very professional and knowledgeable. His ability to master the light was crucial for our wedding location. He gave us amazing pictures which will forever be our keepsake of that special day! We have already recommended him to friends as his price, pictures and policies (CD of your pictures without that "property of" crap) made him a crucial part of our day.

Working with axiom videography was such a pleasure. Robert was very attentive to our needs before, during, and after our wedding. The video was great and we also got a blue-ray disc that they offer which was awesome.




Axiom videography did a good job during my wedding and were very professional. The video was great. I would definately recommend them.




This review is long overdue. I had my wedding in August 2008. My husband and I decided on Axiom Videography based on the reviews that I read and our first impression of Robert. Let just say this: We do not have a single regret about hiring Robert and Axiom. His techniques are flawless and we were very impressed with the final product. To this day, I still watch my wedding DVD and each time I watch it, it makes me wish I was getting married all over again! I have the recap and same day edit on my iPhone. Every person that I showed the videos to were quite impress with them. Robert was FABULOUS to work with. He is his own critic of his work. I can tell that Robert strives to be the best. He was super accommodating with all my requests, which any bride can definitely appreciate. I had a wonderful time working with Robert and Axiom. Brides, you won't regret hiring Axiom because each video that Robert shoots, he gives it his 110%. Thank you again, Robert, for being so patient with me!




I love the quality of both my pictures and video. When I first met with Robert, he informed me of the different packages he offers and what his company can do. I decided to go with both photo and video, and Robert was really flexible and gave me a great price. I opted to have a second photographer and got about 1,500 photos in the end. My main photographer was Dane Andrews, who was great to work with. He did an incredible job the day-of and got some great shots. Robert edits all the photos and video himself, and my video is absolutely beautiful. It took a little longer to receive it than we hoped, but I'm very happy with it!




Okay, so we finally hired Axiom Video after hiring Axiom for their photography. When we were looking for a photographer, video was so far down our list we didn't want to make two major decisions at once. And while we felt no pressure to book video as well as photo, we were made well aware that Axiom also did video.
So finally we got around to shopping for a video. To be honest, we were kind of leaning towards using two different vendors for photo and video. As it turns out, Axiom is the best choice for both. They just were voted best of weddings 2007 in theknot.com magazine. They have great videos and great prices to boot.
Even if you don't use them for photo, you can book them separately for video as I am told many brides do.
I will post another review once I get my video after the wedding.




I've heard so many good things about Axiom Videography that I was skeptical. But let me tell you, once you see the work and meet Robert Valdes, the owner you know it is all true. We took our time making a decision but when we finally did, needless to say we went with Axiom. But we chose them because of the customer service and the work, not because of the reputation which is important but a deciding factor for us. For some of our other wedding vendors, we choose newer vendors because of their work and pricing. Sometimes reputation is not all what it is cracked up to be. In the case of Axiom it is. A+++




Robert was the perfect touch to our wedding day. His work was amazing and he
captured some of the most perfect moments of the day. We have received
nothing but wonderful compliments on our pictures! Robert is very pleasant
to work with and is very professional. He is highly recommended!

Axiom did the videography for our wedding. We found them to be a good value for the price. The final DVD was delivered within the promised timeframe. The owner, Robert Valdes, asked for my feedback after delivering the DVD - he was only the 2nd vendor who bothered to do that (we contracted 10 total). He addressed all my comments. In addition, without my request, he offered to redo the DVD for me based on my feedback. He is someone who obviously cares alot about his business and strives to increase his customer satisfaction, which we appreciated.




I rarely post any review and I only do so when the service is so extraordinary that I need to tell the world. Robert Valdes is a true artist, he worked his magic and the result was better than anything I could possibly imagine. The quality is exceptional, Robert did such an amazing job, I was teary eyes when i first watched the video. Everyone in our family LOVE the video so much that we ended up having to order a few more copies from him. He is extremely responsive, very patience and incredibly good at what he does. We feel blessed and lucky to have found him on the internet in such a short notice, and I hope others can too benefit from his exceptional work. Robert is very accommodating and considerate, his product is superb and beyond excellence.

Robert is simply AWESOME! We met him 10 years ago to do our Valentine wedding in 1998 and would not dare think of anyone else to cover our 10-year renewal of vows this year! He captured not only the events of the day but the emotions too...we cried as we watched how the day unfold as real as can be on HD video! :) We highly recommend Robert and Axiom Videography!

We just received our wedding DVD and we're very pleased with it! It captured many moments that we weren't directly a part of and allowed us to experience them now. Also, the DVD was put together very well and reminded us of the emotions that we felt that day. Axiom's videography team was very professional and inconspicuous as we did not even notice them as they were taping. Highly recommend Axiom Videography and it was a pleasure to work with Robert and his team!




I would highly recommend this vendor for anyone who is looking for quality, but also a reasonable price. We initially researched all of the vendors in the neighboring towns and we found that Axiom was the most willing to help us create a package that worked for us. They were very professional the day of the wedding and we even had them do the projection for our slide show. Everything went great. The camera man seemed kind of invisible - but in my opinion that is how it should be in order to capture all of those beautiful candid moments. After the wedding, Robert was generous enough to tack on a few extra things to our package because it took a little longer than expected to get the videos. He was very friendly and easy to reach. All around a great experience. Thank you very much for everything and most importantly for a video that will last a lifetime!
Regards,
Kevin and Katya




Hugh and I got our video earlier this week and it looks great! It really captures our special day. Thanks to Robert and the Axiom Videography crew for all their fine work!

Axiom did a great job capturing the moments of our big day. Our videos were produced with great professionalism and editing was great. Robert was very courteous and delivered our video in the time he indicated. We have friends that are looking to get married in 09 and plan to use his services as well.
GUEST




These guys did a great Job and by far exceeded our expectations. The value was amazing for what we recieved. We also like the fact that we own all the raw footage and they also did a great 2hr video and 5 minute wrap up (everyone loves the romantic 5 minute wrap up). One of the things that amazed us what how well hidden the videographer was. He was like a secret agent getting the best shots in at just the right times....Good jobs guys....Lee & Tess

My husband and I were not sure that we wanted to have a videographer at our wedding, but once we saw examples of the videos from Axiom, we knew it was a must. Our video is spectacular! One thing that really struck us when we saw the videos that Robert had made is that they look very professional...and the HD option really makes the video stand out. I am very pleased that we chose to have a video and even more happy that we found such a great company to do it!




We got our DVD and we were so happy with it. My fiance did not want a video so I had to talk him into it. I was really picky because of that so we looked at 5 or so. When I saw Axiom I called and luckily my date was available. The experience was great from start to finish. They handle themselves professionally and they always return my calls too. Thanks again for a great DVD.

We shopped around quite a bit for videography. We loved Axiom's work the best. Our video was wonderful. We highly recommend them.
GUEST




Working with Mr. Valdes has been very pleasant. He is very efficient, courteous, & professional. My friends & family enjoyed viewing our engagement & wedding photos. I always get comments on his work. He is highly recommended!




We were referred to Axiom Videography by a friend who had used them. I was blown away at the level of production these guys are putting out. As a groom interested in video, HD and the like, I was looking for a REAL production company to do the video. Needless to say, Axiom stepped up and I didn't have to worry about a thing. They delivered the finished video and it was outstanding. I am recommending them to all of my friends who are getting married.

Robert provided photo and video for our wedding. From the first day we met Robert, we felt comfortable and worry-free. I tend to be very picky and tedious about things but Robert was able to cater to my unique needs every step of the way. Even as the scope of my initial requests changed to the point where it wasn't part of our original agreement, Robert was not only willing but happy to accommodate us. He did his best to explain the process and to educate us along the way. When the of the wedding came, we had no worries that Robert and his staff would take care of everything...and they did. We love reliving our special day with our album and video.




"We LOVE our video!! I still love it, even almost 8 years later. Their techniques have changed since then, but it's still the best "storytelling" I have seen... your editing was incredible and the way it was shot was great too. I've seen a few others that friends of ours had done after our wedding and not to knock the other companies, but they weren't even close to being a good as theirs. It's really one of the things I treasure most from our wedding day and have no regrets spending the money on."

We employed Robert for filming our wedding ceremony and reception. His team performed expertly, captured all of the most important, poignant moments, and wove them into a seamless wedding day story. We were impressed with him so much that we employed him a second time for filming a retirement party for one of our parents. He successfully captured our wedding day’s many memorable moments, for example from bride and groom comments just before the ceremony to the silly dancing guests throughout the reception. I think what most distinguishes Robert’s work from others is his attention to detail and his ability to capture the emotion of key moments, and with musical accompaniment of your choosing, he can create a DVD which conveys the happiness and celebration of the day, while employing good taste and good judgment. When we compare our wedding DVD to other peoples’ DVDs produced by other companies, we feel that we could not have received a better product. Ours wins by a mile.
Hi Robert,
We just received the videos and watched them. They look great and we love them so much! And thank you for fitting in the 2 additional songs for us. We love all of the editing and are very happy that you had included the slow motion recap in our package.
We can't wait to show the videos to our parents. We will be going to Japan to see my grandparents and relatives in a couple of weeks, and we will definitely be showing the videos to them.
Also, we very much appreciate you getting the video completed so quickly.
Thank you very much,
Nao & Warren
Hi Robert,
We received the CD yesterday with all the pictures and everything turned out great! Wow, we're very impressed. The vineyard evening shots are stunning. It's hard to find a pic I don't like. You captured our day perfectly and we'll have lots of beautiful memories for many years to come.
Hi Robert,
I meant to email you and tell you how much we loved the video but I forgot. It was really lovely and I cried all over again. Thanks again for a very beatiful memory.The best video job I have ever had done.
All the best

I recommend AXIOM because it's ME LOL
I have been working with Axiom Video + Photography for years they do a great job and i would highly recommend them if you have an upcoming wedding event.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Axiom Videography. They were extremely friendly, professional, and easy going. They were also very courteous; they kept aware of me and my presence and stayed totally out of my way, so as to allow me to do my job without hindrance, and at the same time were there to offer help and collaboration when it was needed. I look forward to working with them again and again.
I Love Axiom Videography because I own it! This is my wedding videography division.
