Cloud 9 Cinematography

Joy, Jason and his crew were truly amazing assisting us as our videographer, not only on the day of, but through the editing process and until we received the final product. Before the wedding, Cloud 9’s system prepared them to get to know us better, set the tone of the wedding, by asking us questions. On the day of, they were on time, Jason was very professional and knew how to direct the couple in what to do while shooting. The editing process took a little longer but they had a system informing us exactly what stage they were at and it was comforting. The time we had to wait for the video was worth it because the video came out amazing. Definitely recommend them to all the couples who are videographer shopping.

This review is long overdue! We had Cloud 9 Cinematography film our wedding in July 2015. The job they did was incredible. We opted to have a «same day edit» and «short film.» They are extremely professional and their work is something you can cherish throughout your lifetime. The same day edit was beyond amazing and our guests could not stop talking about it. I still get teary eyed watching the same day edit and short film. The team makes you feel so comfortable and you don’t even notice they are there filming. They blend into the background and are able to capture all the natural moments happening throughout the best day of your life! Even after filming, the editing process with the short film was an easy experience. They are receptive to your input and not to mention the final product and packaging is beyond what we expected. I continue to refer all my friends to this vendor and would not have our videographer be anyone else!
Here is what the same day edit would be like!

We hired Cloud 9 Cinematography for our wedding in Marina del Rey on July 18^th. We could not have been happier with how the team worked with us from the initial contract phase all the way through the wedding day and the editing stage afterwards. The whole team was very professional, friendly and easy to work with. We just received our highlight film and it is incredible! Cloud 9 captured our wedding day perfectly and we are extremely happy with the results!

This team is my favorite wedding vendors. I say this because– they do not just deliver a video– but capture the «emotion» and «love» my husband and I have for each other. From the first meeting we had with Jason and Joy– we knew we were going to be in the right hands. They showed us previous weddings they’ve filmed and how the final DVD product would look like. It seriously looks like a movie! We’ve asked cloud 9 to film us from 1pm to 10pm… the day flew by so quickly and throughout the 9 hour day– they were able to capture every minute of what we were doing without making a sound. (They don’t talk because they are trying to avoid filming any unnecessary noise) I really didn’t even know half the time where they were filming from because they are that good– never in the way of the photographer or of any wedding party members. They stay out of the way while filming… everything! The whole day goes by so quickly– it’s overwhelming. The main reason why we wanted to hire a videographer for the wedding was because we wanted to once again experience our big day together– and share moments we didn’t get to see because we were with our own wedding party. (I personally am so glad too because I got to see our cutest flower girls and their famous walk) Our wedding was very emotional and love felt— cloud 9 captured all and more. If you are on the fence of hiring a videographer for your wedding– don’t waste your time looking any further. This is the team that will give you the most memorable moment for you to keep forever. Enough said… now for the final product– Enjoy the video!

If you ever read their reviews, not surprisingly, they are AMAZING great as all the other said. I would love to give them 6 stars out of five if possible!!!
I especially want to thank for the owner Yun Wang. She is one of the most responsible and professional person I have ever known!!! She was recommended by my friend. After reading all Cloud 9 reviews and see all the photos, I decided to contact her. She is very nice and polite. All her team are so nice and skillful. I had Cloud 9 for my engagement photos as well as wedding. I insisted in adding my dogs into theme. If you know, having dogs in shot is not easy. I sincerely apologize that I could not able to find one person to take care two dogs during engagement shoot, so one of photographers actually had to take care of my dogs when they were not in shot. Even thought this difficulty, we successfully finished shooting. THANK YOU!!! While during my wedding, they were always standing by and taking photo to recall all the moments. Pictures are so beautiful!!! Hiring Cloud 9 is the most accurate decision I have ever made. They also always early/​on time to deliver our pictures even thought they are full of business!!! (If you pay attention on their Facebook, you will know how busy they are!!!) Yun is always emailing me back within a day (I don’t know how she could make this but she does!!) That is why she is the most responsible person I have known!!!
The only thing I regret is that I did not hire them as videographer. (I was limited by budget at first but I really regret that I did not do it!!!) While, luckily, Cloud 9 made slideshow for my wedding and it looks like a video. Even thought I do not have a really one, I very appreciate this. THANK YOU!!! Love to share how great their work here
I am going to use Cloud 9 for my rest of life event photographer! I am thinking about the session after wedding now: P Again, thank for recording my big day.
Love,
Yumi

My review is long overdue!!! I would give them 10 stars if u could!!! I got married in June 2012, I was cleaning and found our wedding video. I took a moment to watch it and I LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about our wedding video. I am so happy I used cloud9 as my vidoegrapher. I remember my husband and I was randomly looking at wedding videos and we saw one of Cloud 9’s work and we booth looked at each other sand said yep they are the one!!!
Everything clicked when we first met with Jae. He was nice and took the time to listen to what we had in mind. He then proceeded to go over all the pricing and we went home without booking. At the time their pricing didn’t seem so bad. We originally wanted to go with another videographer but he was really expensive and never answered my emails. And that’s when I found Cloud 9. Jae is extremely accommodating; he always answered my crazy emails within 24 – 48 hours and was never rude or mean. He was so nice and professional.
Pricing: you’ll have to email them for their most current prices since I got married 3 years ago… But let me tell you, I do not regret using them at all. They have a couple of packages to choose from and we ended up paying a little extra for Same Day Edit and we used them a little longer. They also provided a wedding Montage for us. Our package came with Same day edit, 2 Blu-​ray DVDs, 1 SDE DVD and can with 2 separate covers. I believe they also do concept story’s. You hurt need to tell them what you’re looking for and they will see how they can accommodate you.
When we booked them Jae had told me they never shot at out venue before so he took a day, went to our venue and scoped it out! How awesome is that? Their turn around was amazingly fast! And they are super professional, nice, and accommodating. They exceeded our expectations in every way. I had so much fun working with them. I never noticed them during my wedding day, yet they produced a beautiful wedding video for us. I would definately use them again. THANK YOU SO MUCH JASON & JAE!

Our studio has worked with Cloud 9 Cinematography in the past, and our experiences with them were great. They were very nice and humble, but also diligent and very creative. Not only that but their videography is amazing. Out of all the videography companies that I have worked with in the past, they’ve been the best by far. It was amazing working with them.

This team is incredibly professional and GREAT at what they do. They arrived on time, seamlessly directed us to get the footage they needed without being disruptive, and made us feel so at ease. We recently watched our wedding footage for the first time and were so moved by it. The wedding day itself went by so quickly, so having this film that captures the details of the day so beautiful is invaluable to us. This will be an heirloom in our family for years to come.
Cloud 9 is so easy and fun to work with. Definitely worth every penny. Highly recommend them!!!

When I looked for wedding videographers I knew the instant I saw one of their videos that I wanted to work with Cloud 9. Their work is absolutely stunning!
I was still really nervous about the whole experience because my (now) husband and I are very normal people, who snap an occasional picture here or there but we are definitely not 2 hams that like to pose or act in front of a camera. Jae and his team made the whole experience a breeze. I remember one of the reviews mentioning that they’re like silent «ninjas» and I actually couldn’t agree more :)
We got married on August 16, 2014. On the morning of, they arrived promptly on time, set up their stuff, and just went to work. Most of the time they were filming candid scenes which required no effort on our part and every once in a while he would give very clear instructions on what exactly he wanted us to do. After the actual wedding the team keeps you informed with very clear e-​mails on where your video is in its processing stage.
When we finally got our final product we were blown away by their work. I was hopeful that I would like our video but what we saw was way way beyond my imagination. We have gotten so much positive feedback from our friends and families on it and everyone agrees that they did a fantastic job in capturing all the emotions of the day. I seriously could not have hoped for a better experience. We had actually wanted to make a couple adjustments to our initial video and Jae and his guys were more than happy to continue to work on it just so we could realize that the first version they had made was after all more perfect than we could have orchestrated it ourselves.
If I could have one experience of our wedding all over again it would definitely be working with Cloud 9. Their video will forever be one of the most treasured memories of our wedding day.

Cloud 9 did an AMAZING JOB! We could not be happier!

Cloud 9 Cinematography does amazing work. All you have to do is look at their previous videos. The guys are very professional and work very hard to capture your special day. We got married Dec 27 in Las Vegas. We aren’t models and are not use to being in front of the camera. They gave us great directions and made shooting 8 hrs straight a breeze. They update you after shooting with emails outlining each step they take to create your video. If you’re looking for someone who is easy to work with, listens to what is important to you and puts 110% into it then go with Cloud 9 Cinematography! Kellen & I can’t wait to see the final film!

Worked with these guy a on couple of weddings. Love their work!!! As a photographer, they are super easy to work with and their highlights are impressive. I would recommend them to any bride or groom. Their three man crew knows what is needed to capture and retell the wedding day. 5 star service and product. Awesome work Cloud 9!!!

Cloud 9 Cinematography has been one of my favorite vendors that we worked with. Their work is exceptional and breathtaking. The quality in their work definitely shows on and off the screen.
On December 28, 2013, Jason, Jae and Jinsup arrived early to setup for our wedding day, which is a big plus because they are down to business to capture all the little detailed moments that even I wasn’t aware of. The whole wedding day, I didn’t really notice that they were even there because they were like ninjas and knew where and when they needed to be. I mean I admit… I was extremely nervous when my husband had to go through the games in order to receive me as his bride. My adrenaline was increasing while waiting in the room for my husband to come and pick me up and eventually when he did, some of the emotions were going away slightly. Without them, I would never know what happened during the time my husband and his groomsmen had to go through if it wasn’t filmed.
Our ceremony was spectacular, everything was perfect, the weather was not too hot or cold. The details that were captured is something very important to me, since I was the last one walking down the aisle, all the designs and decorations may have been moved or destroyed, but thankfully we had Cloud 9 Cinematography. Each frame was emotionally filled with love and support. I love the fact that they created something so big into this spectacular mini movie starring us! Also, when we were doing the couple’s session, we did some fun scenes and special moments that my husband and I had time to ourselves away from everyone else for about an hour, which was very nice.
The reception is what made this whole wedding even more exciting as it was pretty different than other weddings. Of course, there were some traditional games as well as newer games that we have thought about, so our guests would be more involved and have fun rather than just going to the open bar or dancing. Again, all those little things from the guestbook, displayed photos, thank you speeches, first dance, games, bouquet toss, garter toss, toasting, detailed cake design, cutting the cake, etc, were caught on tape!
No matter how many search engines you will go through, I find that this company has shown their professionalism, expertise, and passion for their work. I definitely would vouch for Cloud 9 Cinematography!
Thank you Jason, Joy, Jae, and Jinsup for making our wedding into something that everyone has been talking about and would never forget it!
*Due to multiple changes in the highlight and short film videos, we finally received our cute wedding video package on July 21, 2014. But I sincerely wanted to apologize to Jae as he worked strenuous hours to make the perfect wedding video until I was satisfied. Talk about this kind of service… if I could I definitely would give them 10 stars. So Jae, I wanted to personally thank you for taking the time and hard work to create our wedding into a true masterpiece.

My husband and I want to formally thank Cloud 9 for being a part of our wedding last year at Westlake Village Inn. I would give 10 stars if I can. Capturing our wedding day on film was very important to us. The cinematographers, Jason and Jae were so professional and they were simply amazing!
We are very happy with our wedding video. Thank you so much for your beautiful presentation — for your attentiveness to detail. We’ve gotten nothing but fantastic compliments from our family and friends! We have already recommended Cloud 9 to our friends and co-​workers and would not hesitate to say that they set the standard when it comes to amazing videos.
If you are looking for a wedding videographer that will leave you with awe inspiring videos, look no further! Can’t recommend them enough.
Tip:
Book Cloud 9 at least 8 months — one year in advance :)
They are worth EVERY penny

I cant believe I didn’t leave them a review sooner! The Mr and I looked at our wedding trailer again recently and Cloud 9 captured our wedding like how I envisioned our wedding day to be — flawless.
They arrived to my parents house earlier than expected to set up, Jae and his team were awesome to work with. They were very unassuming, and discreet throughout the entire day.
WORTH every dollar we spent! If you are in between video/​cinema people, do not hesitate to go with Cloud 9!
They are very prompt with emails, which is basically my primary form of communication when dealing with vendors, especially for my wedding.
We did not feel the need to get the same day or next day edit because we wanted something else to look forward to hahaha. But I can understand why others might want to do this.
Thanks Cloud 9!

Cloud 9 Cinematography was by far the BEST vendor we had for our wedding. Having watched several wedding videos from other videographers, there is no comparison, we knew we had to book them for our wedding. We did a concept video that Jae wrote the script for and we had so much fun doing it! They were so easy to work with and super nice! We just got our video yesterday and we can’t stress enough how much we love it. Cloud 9 is amazing at what they do and will capture your special day and make it so beautiful. I watched a few of their clients’ videos on Vimeo and it made me teary eyed considering I don’t even know those people lol. Their videos are so beautiful that you can’t help but cry sometimes. I strongly recommend them for all of you engaged couples, I promise you will not regret it!

I found Cloud9 here on Unilocal and I am so glad I did. They did an amazing job with our wedding video. I am not much of a crier but I had tears streaming down my face by the end of the video when we first watched it. After that, I watched it about 15 more times that week and it still made me tear up every time. I am SO happy that my husband and I chose to work with Cloud9 and so grateful that we will have these precious moments captured on film forever. I can’t wait to show our kids one day! They were professional, courteous, and met every single one of our requests as far as what we wanted captured and were nice enough to put up with my picky-​ness and perfectionist personality from start to finish without ever making me feel that I was. They are truly talented and know just how to put together a beautiful, cinematic, romantic, and memorable film. I highly recommend Cloud9!

I can’t believe how fast a year has gone by. My husband and I have just recently celebrated our first anniversary and, while I’ve been praising Cloud 9’s incredible team to anybody who’s willing to listen, I have yet to do it in a public forum.
When my friends in the Orange County and Los Angeles area ask me what was the best decision I made about my wedding (other than saying «I do»), I tell them hands down, without a doubt, Cloud 9 was the best decision my husband and I made. Jason, Jae, and their team are dedicated to their craft and all have such a keen eye for bringing out the beautiful details and capturing extraordinary moments that I had missed or forgotten about. We had a lot of requests and Jason and Jae performed beyond our expectations in every way.
First, we wanted to do a silly concept film to show our guests before we were introduced at the reception as Mr. & Mrs. I emailed Jae about a very obscure and vague idea of what I wanted this video to be. He took this idea and ran with it. He wrote up the entire script and sent it to us the night before we recorded. The end product was an unbelievably polished, professional, perfectly edited film that had our guests raving until this day.
We also wanted to do a custom slideshow with video, but we didn’t want it to be about just about us. Our parents wanted to say something special but were afraid of the spotlight and nerves on the day of the wedding. My parents spent a couple hours with Jason and Jae, and they walked out of their as good friends.
I suffered a great loss to me a few days before the wedding, and I wasn’t sure that I was going to go through with our day. Jason and his crew approached the situation with such grace and compassion. They went above and beyond what I expected as cinematographers, and with just a few words of encouragement when they first saw me in the morning, I knew everything was going to be beautiful. I consider myself very lucky to have gone through this process and experienced their skill and talent. I guarantee this will be the best decision you will make too!

I am extremely happy with choosing Cloud 9 as our wedding videographer. Six or seven years ago, my husband and I attended a wedding and saw a wedding video created by Cloud 9 during the event. Even after many years passed and we were planning our own wedding, I immediately thought about Cloud 9. That’s how impressionable their films are because they are wedding move makers.
When I started working with them, I noticed they are very professional and they are vendors that do not need to be managed. During our wedding, I hardly noticed they were even present because they are very not intrusive on your special day.
When we received our finished video, we were in awe. Our families and friends are extremely impressed by our video. Cloud 9 has an extremely friendly and professional staff and I would recommend them to anybody.

First off I would like to say, I am the biggest pain in the a$$ to deal with, and my husband will tell you the same! lol
When you look for any vendor, especially for your wedding, you want someone who knows what they are doing, and doesn’t need to be told how to do their job. Of course, that never stops me from trying. On the day of the wedding, they were like NINJAS! The way they move is an art form only a true professional can achieve. They would capture clips from in-​between people, trees, underneath the tables, I dunno, just ninjas!
When it comes to a wedding videographer, you want to find someone who is easy to work with from the beginning of the process to the very end, because you only get one shot at this. I have a certain vision for my wedding like any girl, but I take it to a whole other level. I am so particular that I would send an essay long of changes I want made to the video separated by clips, music changes, color changes, music transitions, and the exact time of each clip I wanted change for whatever reason. Not only did Jae didn’t tell me I was crazy, but he never complained. Even though he didn’t make all the changes on my list, he definitely knew what I wanted based on my comments, and gave me the wedding video I envisioned.
Nothing is ever perfect the first time around, but getting all the right shots of the ONE day you can’t repeat is an exception. You can always change the editing, but not capturing that perfect moment.
I worked with Jae from the first day I entered the door of no return. Don’t let this teddy bear fool you! He seemed timid, and shy, but he is a beast when it comes to cinematography, and customer relations. He really looked after my best interest, and knew what my expectations for him were. Not only did he delivered one of the best wedding videos I’ve ever seen, but he never complained when we were at a crossroads. He never made me worry, because I know he will fix anything I wasn’t pleased with, and that is the best thing you can hope for.
When you see vendors with 5 star reviews, it always crosses your mind whether or not these are friends of theirs, or if Cloud 9 gave them a discount if they wrote a review, well no one asked me to write a review, nor did I get a discount. I just got exceptional service, and I’m genuinely grateful for them capturing the most important day of my husband and I’s life.
Thank you Cloud 9!

Jason and his team are AWESOME!
My good friend highly recommended him and his team. I’m lucky to work with him a little while running my friend’s wedding reception as a wedding coordinator before mine. They’re professional, hardworking and creative!
I met up with Jason once before the wedding, he has bright and easy-​going personality that we know we’ve found the right cinematographer! Although we both have little difficulties in speaking very fluent english, he has definitely no problem to understand our needs and presented his work even better than what we hope for!
He sent us a questionnaire to ensure we’re on the same page and to understand our preference when the date is closer. We decided to let him choose the songs for the highlight video to match the videography style. On the wedding day, he and his team showed up on time and nicely dressed. They stayed with us for the entire time until the reception is over.
They shared us the highlight video link 2 weeks ago before shipping, my husband want to remove the part of his singing although I think the entire flow is great. They replied that it may take up to 3 weeks to do the changes due to the strict editing time. However, we received the DVDs last week. It’s completely worth the 6 months wait. The music choice of the highlight video is perfect, it matches our personality so well. The videography and editing are just simply amazing! Even the presentation of the DVDs in a gift box is so sweet and heartwarming.
Jason Kim is one of easiest person to work with, especially when you’ve enough stress from the wedding planning. The 3 movies of my friends and ours that I’ve watched are all outstanding in different ways and it’s a lifetime great memories!

A few months before my wedding last year, I had a conversation with a friend who said his biggest regret about his wedding day was that he had not hired a videographer. He said it would have been so nice to have captured his loved ones together on such a happy occasion, especially in light of the recent passing of a close family member who had been there. It had always been my wish to have my grandparents see me walk down the aisle but my wedding happened to fall on the weekend of Chuseok, one of the most important Korean holidays of the year and they weren’t going to be able to make it. With this in mind and my friend’s sentiments ringing in my ears, I decided to look for a wedding cinematographer to document the day. Not only would I have a memento to look back and remember the day but I would get to send copies of it to my family in Korea, almost as if they had been there.
After some intensive research, I contacted Cloud 9 Cinematography. I really loved all the videos of theirs I’d seen on various sites and had a great feeling about them. Once I met Jason and his team in person, I knew I had made a good choice. They were exceptionally professional but personable at the same time.
Jason and his team showed up bright and early on the big day despite a big rain shower in the morning. They were there every step of the way, capturing even the smallest moments that are sometimes forgotten but nonetheless important and a pleasure to look back on. They were unobtrusive but engaging and we had a blast working with them with full faith they would produce a fabulous final product.
When we did get the video, my husband and I were completely blown away. The video was tastefully done yet very artistic, so beautiful, and captured the very essence of our special day. We received so many compliments from our friends when we shared it with them and my grandparents were equally happy and very touched after watching it, stating that it was almost as good as being there in person. Almost.
Having Jason and his team capture our wedding day was one of the best decisions my husband and I made in regards to our wedding and we have the most important parts of the day captured for always to look back on and relive when we choose to. If you are looking for a wedding cinematographer, Cloud 9 Cinematography would be the vendor to go with, I would recommend them wholeheartedly without any reservations whatsoever.
Thank you Cloud 9– you guys really are the best!
