Reviews for Blue Moon Productions




Andy Hirsch of Blue Moon Productions is a joy to work with! Both my husband and I were REALLY impressed with his professionalism. He was really kind, soft spoken and discreet when videotaping our wedding -- exactly what we were looking for. We just got our video, which was edited extremely well. He adds artistic touches so you feel like it is a real movie. This is his own business so he takes pride in his work. I think it was really worth it to choose someone who gave it a personal touch and wasn't just a big videography company. He captured everything so well (he used two cameras and operated them by himself) and he made me laugh and cry throughout the video. HIGHLY recommended!




Andy is phenomenal! He is a pleasure to work with, both before and after the wedding. When we were talking about putting together our video, he was completely open to my suggestions and thoughts and patient...the results were incredible. It was what I wanted. You can watch our highlight for yourself--it's the first one on his website: (http://www.blue-moon-productions.com/theater.php). He takes a lot of pride in his work and is one of my favorite vendors! I would use his services again without question!
Andy has my HIGHEST recommendation!




Thanks again for a beautiful video! You captured our day perfectly. John and I appreciate the effort and time you put into the editing and helping with our selection of music. We will definitely recommend you to anyone else getting married!
Thanks again Andy!
John & Gina Eckhart




Worth every penny and not expensive! Service was great from beginning to end. The video was better than I could imagine and really turned out professional looking . The videographer was so great to work with and I felt that he really cared about capturing our day perfectly. For example he came to our wedding rehearsal just so he could figure out the best way to capture our ceremony. He also came early to our wedding and took extra footage. He also worked with my photographer to create a beautiful cover for our video which included pictures from our wedding. He also worked with my DJ to get the music from my ceremony to make it sound better on the video. He didn't miss any important moments in the weddings. I could go on and on, but basically he was a wonderful videographer to work with and I would definitely recommend him to everyone.




Andy is a pleasure to work with. He is incredibly professional and detailed. Our guests didn't even know that he was there videotaping them until they saw the finished product!
We love the video - my father in law has shown it to EVERYONE who drops by their home. Every friend has told us how impressed they were by Andy's editing. He is able to capture the mood of the evening perfectly and translate it into a beautiful piece of art. I wasn't thrilled at the idea of having a video, having seen so many cheasy ones in the past. But, I LOVE our video - you can check it out at his website (www.blue-moon-productions.com) and see for yourself! We're the "Advanced Highlight" in the samples section.
I HIGHLY recommend Andy and Blue Moon Productions!




Blue Moon Productions did such a wonderful job! The quality of work is outstanding.
Andy is a great person to work with. He is a true professional. I would use Blue Moon Productions for any video needs. I truly can't say enough good things about Andy and Blue Moon Productions.




We've had a great experience working with Andy and his team. Throughout the entire process, from planning to the day of to post-wedding, Andy has been extremely professional and accommodating. We were very impressed with the finished product. Andy and his crew (I think there was one other videographer filming that day) captured many of the details and candid moments that were not captured by our photographer. Even though we did not opt for High Definition, the picture quality was excellent and surprisingly, super clear. The finished product was a DVD which had the "unabridged" version of the day's events (including the ceremony in its entirety and the "meaty" parts of the reception - first dance, speeches, cake-cutting, father-daughter dance, etc), a photo montage of slides we provided him (played to the music that we selected), and a "highlights" (reader's digest) version of the big day. The editing was well done and and the video did a very good job of telling the story, such that someone who may not have attended the wedding could watch the video and would still have a good sense of how the day went. Andy and his team for the most part stayed in the background but were somehow able to capture a lot of the moments close-up. We were so happy with the DVD, we've asked for more copies! Thanks, Andy!




We were very pleased with our wedding video. Andy and his team captured a wonderful remembrance of the day and the video itself was very professionally done. We will enjoy watching it for many years to come.




Blue Moon did a fantastic job on our wedding video! They were easy to work with, very well organized, helped us put together a package that met our desired cost, and everything was completed smoothly and on time. Our video captured all the important moments and the personality of the event.




Blue Moon Productions was fantastic. Working with Andy was easy. We never felt stressed or rushed. In fact, it was almost the opposite. He spent whole days with us! His final work with both our "Love Story" and wedding video were excellent. The quality excellent!




Andy was great! He immediately understood what we wanted, a simple documentary-like account of our ceremony and reception. We didn't want any fancy editing or overlaying of pop music. What we got was a beautiful rendering of the ceremony and all the events that took place that day.
Andy was very easy to work with, both during and after the wedding. After he had sent us the edited version, we realized that there were a couple of changes we wanted done. Andy readily agreed and made the changes for us.
I very much recommend Blue Moon Productions.




I would highly recommend using Blue Moon Productions as your wedding videographer. Everyone we spoke to was extremely professional. They were available to answer any and all questions that we had, which made planning a long distance wedding much easier. They arrived promptly and faded into the background during the day. Even though I wasn't aware of the cameras, they managed to capture all the day's events. And we couldn't be more pleased with the final result!




Andy was incredibly professional, creative, friendly, and patient. The final product was an amazing DVD that my husband, family, and I will cherish always. I would recommend Blue Moon to anyone!




Andy at Blue Moon Productions was simply fantastic. He was super helpful and professional, even when my mother and I were frantically asking him every question we could think of. But the proof of Andy's greatness is in our wedding DVD, which is absolutely incredible. He somehow managed to capture not only our vows with perfect audio as well as the other "big parts" of the wedding, but he also caught some great candid moments that both my husband and I had completely forgotten about. There's this great scene at the end of the reception of my husband and I singing our last dance song to each other as everyone else mills around-- so adorable. I cannot recommend Andy and his team highly enough.




We had Andy Hirsch for our videographer. He did an excellent job with videotaping our wedding ceremony and reception. It was really important to us to have lots of dancing and there was a lot of dancing footage in our video. He was on time and very professional. We received our video montage before the wedding day so we could show it at our rehearsal dinner. He asked us to give him songs to include in the wedding video but we didn't really have particular songs we wanted. Since Andy videotapes weddings and special occasions for a living, we asked him to pick the songs. He made excellent song choices and we were very pleased. He always returned phone calls promptly. We were married in mid August and received our wedding video four months later. All in all, we had a very positive experience with Andy Hirsch.




You can breathe a sigh of relief in the planning process if you choose Blue Moon Productions to be your wedding videogrpaher.
Andy Hirsch was very easy to work with from beginning to end. He was unable to physically film our day, but his associate who did was amazing; he was very unobtrusive to the point that I forgot I was being filmed (as did my guests).
Andy did a beautiful job producing our film. It was a beautiful movie, which portrayed all the emotions of the day. From the very beginning I was teary-eyed. I'm so glad we decided to get a movie. There are so many things I forgot that happened or never saw to begin with. Having a movie beautifully produced for you by Blue Moon Productions is invaluable.
I highly recommend this vendor to anyone planning a wedding!




Andrew was very professional, responsive and creative. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding videographer. We were pleasantly surprised when we watched the video for the first time, which actually ended up being two or three times that same night.




My husband and I were excited for the video of our wedding day the instant we met Andy from Blue Moon Productions. Andy is passionate about his career and his business, and it is evident in everything from his professionalism on the day of the wedding, to the completed video. I completely trusted him with capturing our special day, and my husband and I are extremely satisfied with the final product. Yes, I would recommend Blue Moon Productions without hesitation. Thank you Andy!




We loved our wedding video and are so pleased with the quality of Andy’s work! Our video was so elegant and beautifully done! It was as if Andy read our minds and then gave us exactly what we wanted, and more. We received our video 4 months after our wedding and the final product really exceeded our expectations. Andy was able to capture many beautiful moments and emotions of the day (and even from multiple angles), and then put them together into a seamlessly smooth video. We were particularly pleased with the HD filming, his thoroughness, his attention to details, and superb editing (esp. with the video menu, credits, and event recaps). Andy is easy going and a pleasure to work with. He was so discrete at our wedding that some family & friends didn’t even notice we had a videographer that day! Thanks Andy for all your hard work and for your passion for videography. We are so glad to have found you as our wedding videographer!




Rob and I feel fortunate to have met Andy at a tasting/preview evening at the Los Gatos Opera House. We had already booked the Opera House for our reception and were thankful to be able to meet a number of the Opera House’s preferred vendors during the event. We spoke with Andy and liked his energy and professionalism immediately. We previewed his website the next day and were impressed with the quality of his work. We scheduled a meeting with him and booked him for our wedding that day. We were so happy with Andy we felt it would be a waste of time to interview anyone else.
Andy has a lot of energy, is a genuine and thoughtful guy, and a FANTASTIC editor. Filming is such a small part of his job. After working for an editing company in LA for a few years I feel qualified to vouch for his talent and creativity. He cut a four-minute “highlights” video for us that really captures the spirit of our wedding and the personalities of everyone involved in the day. We have been proud to share it with our friends and family and their responses have been terrific.
We are equally thrilled with our full-length video. During the wedding and reception Andy filmed the important moments, wonderful video of both the Mission and Opera House, and our friends and family having a great time. I was adamant that even though this was “our day” I wanted the video to focus on our guests and their experience as much as on us. Andy artfully edited establishing shots, wedding details, the ceremony, and reception to create a well-paced and beautifully designed “Leanne and Rob” wedding story. We think Andy is just great and highly recommend him!
GUEST




Andy at Blue Moon is incredible. His work is amazing. My Husband and I gave Andy pics/slides, etc. to create a Video Montage to share with our guests at our Wedding. They are still talking about that Montage! Andy put the pictures together, added music and his own creativity. His follow through is impeccable. If you are looking for someone to do a Montage DVD or looking for a Videographer that cares about his customers, helps them feel comfortable, and takes pride in his work-then stop right here! If you live in the Bay Area-book him ASAP. He is so well known that he books far in advance! You will love!




Andy Hirsch was the videographer for our wedding this past July, 2009. My husband and I couldn’t be more pleased with our wedding video. It is a classy and creative cinematic review of our most precious moments. Our ceremony was held at Grace Cathedral and our reception followed at the Mark Hopkins Hotel. Andy was able to capture the classic San Francisco charm and the overall atmosphere while simultaneously capturing people looking their best. Andy is not only extremely professional and organized, but also very talented. He has wedding videography down to a science and incorporated film production techniques I have seen in movies and television. My favorite features include the various sound bites, time-lapses, split-screen detail shots, the pacing of the images and the soundtrack as well as the variation of camera angles and fluid shots all of which helped to tell our wedding story.
Beyond our wedding video, Andy also produced our childhood picture montage which we showed at our rehearsal dinner. Andy was present to set up, show and strike the entire production. Andy was so personable with all of our guests and made the entire process painless. We appreciated Andy being so flexible and easy to work with both of our video productions.
We sincerely recommend Andy to our closest family and friends without reservation.

Andy at Blue Moon was absolutely fabulous. I was totally shocked when I got the video because it was so professional. It had chapters and it was as if we were watching a professional DVD.
Probably the best part though was how unintrusive he was at the wedding. I barely even knew he was there but he still got the best shots. There is nothing worse then a videographer who sticks a big light in your guests faces. Andy just had a small camera with a small light on it and it was all he needed to get great lighting and video of all the great moments.
Our video is currently being shown at The Opera House in Los Gatos where we had our wedding. If you go to their front office you'll see a flatscreen and our video is most likely playing. (No, I'm not being paid to plug The Opera House....just nice to know you can go somewhere to see his work.)
It's been playing for the last year which is a true testiment to Andy's abilities as a great videographer. I highly recommend him...you won't be disappointed!

Blue Moon Productions was wonderful to work with. They were focused and attentive to all of the needs of my husband and me...and our large family.
Andy arrived at the wedding rehearsal to get a feel for the area and prepare his plan for the following day.
Our video turned out wonderfully. Our pictures and music selections helped to give it a truly personalized touch. The DVD cover was made using pictures from our photographer and was put together to really feel like it was our own special movie.
Blue Moon Productions was a pleasure to work with. E-mails and phone calls were returned immidiately. all of our needs and special requests were met and the exceeded all expectations.




We would highly recomend Blue Moon Productions. He was very professional and personable. Our video is amazing, it is like a movie of our wedding. We have really enjoyed watching it and showing it to family and friends.




Andy was awesome. He knows what he has to do without us reminding him. We totally love his awesome job on my wedding day. I would definitely recommend him to my friends in the future.




To anyone in the SF bay area who is searching for a videographer to capture your special events, my husband and I would both like to wholeheartedly recommend Blue Moon Productions.
Andy Hirsch, who is the founder, CEO and principal videographer is extremely professional, patient (Lord knows he was patient to put up with all the chaos in my family), extremely courteous and reliable. These are the qualities that you seek in the person you entrust with capturing your special memories for posterity.
Blue Moon filmed our wedding this past June, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Andy even went as far as matching our vintage theme and colours with the right fonts and creating an old fashioned grainy sequence for our 'First Look'.
The emotional content of the day is brought to the forefront through Andy's skillful editing and attention to detail. One can really relive the wedding day through his work.
Blue Moon Productions is a great investment. Search no further, you have found the right man for the job!

We planned our wedding in California from across the country. Photography and videography were two of the most important things to us, so we spent a LOT of time reading reviews online. We read rave reviews about Blue Moon Productions and decided to get in touch with Andy. He was patient with our questions and reasonably priced so we hired him! To say that he was professional is an understatement! We barely would have noticed him; except that he came to introduce himself after the ceremony (we got the documentary ceremony edit package). Despite a difficult set-up, with crazy angles he was a one-man film crew! He managed to unobtrusively create a vivid and sound balanced video capturing our ceremony, and the personalized cover was just gorgeous! Our only regret-- he encouraged us to get the short film package, which would have included the highlights of the day. We should have listened to him. The groom did a garter toss dance that was unbelievable. He could have launched his dance career from it and we don’t have a shred of evidence of it.
GUEST




Andy did an amazing job! My husband and I were very happy with the final product. We would definitely recommend Blue Moon Productions!
GUEST




We were completely blown away by our wedding video! It exceeded all of our expectations and was emotional, professional, and well done. The highlights bit was great! We live in London, but had our wedding in California, so I found Andy by searching the internet and we booked him without even meeting once after reading all the great reviews! The first time we met was at our wedding day! He was always responsive and helpful. Originally, I didn't even want to get a videographer, but it turned out to be the best decision we made. We didn't want a camera in our face the whole time with bright lights and Andy was exactly the opposite. He was very discreet and we barely noticed that a camera was around. Nevertheless, he was able to capture all the special moments. I would recommend Blue Moon Productions to anyone.
GUEST




Blue Moon Productions is amazing! Andy and his staff are easy to work with, friendly and professional. The quality and composure of my wedding video is perfect and something that I will treasure always. Andy's attention to detail and editing is masterful. However, it is no wonder with the high tech and up to date equipment they use. Blue Moon Productions has now filmed two weddings in our family and I know we will be seeing Andy's smiling face again at more milestone moments. If you are looking for quality look no further, if you are looking for value look no further, and if you are looking for peace of mind look no further. Blue Moon Productions has it all covered. -Janet Greenfield Davis
GUEST




Andy Hirsch is a wonderful videographer. He was recommended by our photographer, but after meeting him, we felt comfortable and entrusted himto document our very special wedding day. He delivered and incredible video that made my wife cry and left us with wonderful memories of a very special time. Highly recommended.
GUEST




Blue Moon Productions was unlike any other wedding video vendor that we looked at. We did not receive a 'wedding video', but rather a 'movie' that captured the true essence of the day. All of our friends and family were in awe of the final product. The cinematography was amazing, and along with the soundtrack of music that we chose, we could not have been happier with our final product. Having Andy shoot your wedding is like having a Hollywood filmmaker capture the day.I would recommend paying extra to get all of the footage put on a separate hard drive. The video is edited to an enjoyable move-watching length, but as a bride, I wanted to see EVERY moment of the 8 hour day.
GUEST




Andy is absolutely the best! He was easy to work with and so professional! He blended well in our wedding and got such amazing shots! There was no stress from Andy during our wedding planning or on our special day! Our wedding video is a true work of art and you will not be disappointed if you have Andy as your videographer. Such beautiful work! Many thanks Andy for capturing our wedding perfectly!
GUEST




Andy is a wonderful videographer and we highly recommend him! He is not only extremely professional but also exceptional at his craft. I am so pleased with the final product – we had quite a few family members who were unable to attend the wedding, so being able to share the DVD with them was definitely money well spent. We had him film both the ceremony as well as the reception and he managed to capture so many of the fleeting moments that seemed to blur by that day – I am so glad that we had them preserved and can watch the DVD whenever we want. This is definitely a keepsake that my husband and I will cherish always.

Andy with Blue Moon Productions was awesome to work with! From our initial meeting with Andy to our final DVD of our wedding, my husband and I have been beyond satisfied. Andy is very professional and we would highly recommend Blue Moon Productions. We love watching our wedding day movie and we cherish the fact that we have our special day captured on film. Thank you Andy!

Andy is great--we liked him for our first phone conversation with him. He clearly enjoys what he does and cares about the quality of his work. For example, he offered to come to our wedding rehearsal, get a sense of the venue but also to just to get to know us & the bridal party so as to be able to put a more personal spin on filming us the next day. He was one time, pleasant & friendly in every way and always responsive to communications. Highly recommended!
"It's fantastic! I can't thank you enough. I was tearing up from the very start! You have touched a part of our lives forever. Thank you!"
"We would unconditionally recommend Blue Moon Productions to anyone. In our search for a videographer, we had been worried we wouldn't be able to find someone who would "get" us, and had a flexible enough style to create a video that really felt like our wedding experience. After meeting with Andy Hirsch at Blue Moon Productions, seeing his videos, and hearing him talk about how he works and the way he genuinely cares about what he does, we knew we had found our man. And we were Blown Away by the video when it was done. He didn't just capture all the big, important moments...He was also able to catch the little interactions between our friends and family that made the wedding such a beautiful, awe-inspiring event."
“Andy did an excellent job of creating our wedding video this past summer. He paid a great attention to detail, and his cinematography was excellent. People loved our video - it was worth every penny, as we will watch it for years to come! Thanks Andy.”
“Andy is wonderful! He created an amazing wedding video for us with very little direction. He designed a piece of art with movie studio quality. Andy was also able to capture our day and incorporated themes into the video that reflect our personalities. I could not have asked for more! I would highly recommend Andy and his team to anyone. He is wonderful to work with and produces a high quality product. Thank you Andy!”
