CineCrown

It’s been 8 mos since the wedding, so it’s finally time for the review! We hired Martin and his crew for: the all day pre-​wedding shoot (over 8 hrs.), a two day wedding (about 12 hrs/​day) for both photo and video. We interviewed a few other photographers as well, but Martin seemed the most professional. Most photographers work from home… he actually has a cool studio with a lot of staff. His pricing is a little more than the other guys, but I tell everyone that I don’t regret it. It was money well spent. Martins says our wedding is his longest one ever… maybe bc it was his first Cambodian Chinese wedding. =)
I loved the crew. I had soo much fun on the pre-​wedding shoot. We laughed so much with Martin and his assistant. There were 6 people on site for each wedding day. They were pretty laid back, fun and friendly. The photos turned out pretty awesome. The video was great too, but we had to undergo a few revisions to get it to perfection. It was a very complicated wedding with many components, so there are hiccups to be expected. I really appreciated that they were nice enough to handle all of my edit requests.
It would have definitely helped if we were more detailed with our vision and communicated them more clearly… a few times and right before the event. I regret not laying a clear cut itinerary and outlining my plan/​visions for everyone. There was just sooo much going on. I even forgot to give a copy of the itinerary to my bridal party.
My short story turned out awesome. I’ve watched it every time our monthly anniversary came around. =) It made me tear up a little bit the first time I watched it. The wedding was soo beautiful and unique. The videos remind me how lucky I am each time I watch it. Our friends and family were very impressed with the videos. I tell them that I hired cinematographers not videographers… so there is a difference! It’s not some guy leaving his video camera in a corner all day. =P
Anyways…to put my white dress to good use, I plan on doing a photoshoot every 5 year anniversary for as long as I can fit it in. I haven’t gained a pound since high school, so I think I’m good. We plan on seeing Martin again! =)
Thanks Martin & crew for all of your hard work! Those were two sleepless nights for everyone… The work paid off — it’s beautiful. Hopefully, we’ll get some photos published somewhere so we can show it off. =)

Just finished our wedding with Martin and his team. I must say, I’m pretty impress with how they work. At first, I was shopping around and calling different people about their photography/​videography services and Martin was the only one that called back within minutes after I left a voicemail. Upon meeting with him, I instantly knew why they have a 5 star rating. Their quality of work stands out from the examples I saw. The whole consultation and meeting felt comfortable with Martin. I didn’t felt pressured or anything. I just saw how much he loves doing his job. On the wedding day, I have the traditional morning Asian ceremony and needed Martin and his team to be there at 7:30am. They came around 20 minutes earlier all the way from Sacramento to Fairfield, which shows their promptness and how professional they are. During the whole wedding ceremony, his team is able to maneuver around and take high quality shots and video footage. We are happy how everything turned out and wouldn’t choose any other photography/​videographers of we had a second chance. Martin and his team were very friendly and kept us entertained throughout the day on our special long day. Thanks Martin for a wonderful experience.

We were in hunt for a videographer for our wedding and we found Cinecrown here at Unilocal.With it’s great review we decided to meet up with Martin Vo of Cinecrown. He’s a great guy with an awesome personality (really nice guy too). He explained us what Cinecrown does and showed us a few sample videos. We didn’t expect it to be like the usual wedding video, it’s actually a short film with a story that makes it unique!
The typical wedding videos are long and it gets boring to watch it but Cinecrown found a way to keep your special day as lively and exciting to watch that wont take up half an hour or so of your time instead of a Typical one to two hour video that screams boredom. Cinecrown can summarize the story of your special day in a few minutes just like a short story film that you watch in a movie So with no second thought we signed-​up.
Martin Vo stands up with their reputation that it’s not about the money, the quality of work show how passionate they are and we are very proud of how they made our «08−22−15 Best day ever» a one of a kind!
Thank you Martin Vo & to the crew of cinecrown, you guys went beyond our expectation! We will definitely come back to you and recommend you to our family & friends! Also, kuddos to Unilocal our number one source to find the best place & service for our needs!

CineCrown was hired on for our cosmetic company to shoot multiple quick videos for our Youtube Channel. They were very professional, personable, and had great ideas. I would recommend this team to anyone who wants high quality videos and service. Thank you CineCrown for being open to sharing your knowledge with our team as well.
Thanks again!

Martin is AMAZING. Worth every penny. He went above and beyond for our wedding and engagement pictures. I model and was VERY picky when picking a photographer because I have worked with so many great ones in the past. Martin did not disappoint me. They are amazing at what they do and I would highly recommend them!

Over two years ago, I hosted the biggest party of my life… MY WEDDING!!! Years and months of planning for just ONE day. And spending thousands of dollars for just ONE day. Is worth it you might ask? Yes! Every penny. I can’t speak for others but I’m only planning to do this once so my goal was to get the BEST out of my money. I came to Martin to book only the videography/​cinematography service but upon meeting him and seeing his work, he sold me on the photography portion too. Yes, the price is higher than other vendors but you know the saying «you get what you pay for.» It was definitely a splurge for me but I have no regrets. Martin and his team did an EXTRAORDINARY job on both my photos and video. During that time, I was a bit of a bridezilla, very demanding and expected a lot. Martin kept his cool and was very accommodating, understanding, and most importantly professional. On the day of, Martin and his team knew their roles and executed their job with the utmost manner. With so many things running through my head, it was a huge relief knowing that my DAY will be captured by such an awesome team that knows their job well.
My video and photos were completed in a timely manner. The first time I viewed my video, I cried and I’m not even an emotional person. It was just so beautiful and it was like re-​living my wedding all over again. The video was creative and artistic, in a way that I have never seen before. It was definitely unique and breathtaking. I can honestly say, I have watch my wedding video countless times. My wedding album was a masterpiece. The quality was immaculate and it was custom for me! I know that first hand because Martin sat there with me till late night to choose out pictures for each page. He then used his gifted talent and created an album with the perfect layout. Each page was different but came together like a puzzle to paint the perfect picture of my special day. It was flawless.
Yes, your wedding day will be unforgettable and indented in your memories but with an awesome video and beautiful photos, you can re-​live it over and over again. And your kids and grandkids can live it as if they were there. Till this day, I’m still sharing my photos and video! This will be an investment you will not repent. It is worth spending to get the BEST for a once in a lifetime wedding so don’t settle for mediocre! You only live once (YOLO)! Martin and the Cinecrown team will not be disappoint you! They will make your vision come alive.

I LOVE working with CineCrown, they did my engagement and my wedding day both photography and videography. Planning a wedding is difficult, CineCrown has all the connection help you choose the right one. They have a team of vendors that is working together. When you book him, it’s not just photo and video, it’s a whole vision of your wedding and make your dream come true. They make your wedding day more fun and enjoyable. I still remember the best of my wedding day and forget the rest. It was fun and their team has a huge smile on the day. They make us laugh and forget all the stress and nervous. My husband and I are more than happy with CineCrown services.
Hint, make sure book the full day engagement session, it actually a stylize travel fashion shoot and make you feel like a celebrity, at least one in the life time :) which money can not buy that feeling. Also they have a love story film which you must have. This love story film is about how the we met and how my husband propose and the word of wisdom for each other. Both interviews are separated and we can not see the video until the wedding day. Priceless when you show it at the reception, and the part that i love is how they construct the story and music choice to touch your heart on the wedding day. Everyone just in tears of happiness. The word of wishes is touching my heart especially on the wedding day.
They have so many products that will break your banks if you book all services. Think if you book multiple services include photo and video separately the cost will be as high, but now you have one team creates and unites all the concept. What we are paying for is the unique vision for ourselves and less head ache to deal with multiple vendors. We highly recommended CineCrown for your photography filmmaking and videography needs. they are the best studio Sacramento and Bay area, they do travel around the world. We spend over 50% of our budget with CineCrown. We are so please and happy with their quality products. They are worth every penny (actually thousands of dollars), but in the end, we have the best memory to share with our love one and our babies to come.

We chose Martin Vo because of his consistency in producing artistic and fresh beautiful photos. Watch out for those companies who show you one albumn ir that have just a handful of quality photos. Cinecrown is consistent and always INNOVATIVE!
Martin Vo is the BEST photographer in Sacramento. We booked two years in advance and that allowed us to lock in our price and make payments on our packages. We upgraded twice because his product is jyst superior to any photography co we’ve used.
We got a full day engagement session which was the mist exhilarating experience ever. Started in Sac at his studio, went to the back alley for some urban graffiti shots. Then carpooled to S.F. embarcadero, s.f. city hall, outside of the Japanese Tea Garden and then inside for more shots. Then to the S.F. Bay bridge lookout and to Bakers Beach. Finally to the Legion of Honor. Began at 9am, ended at 10pm.
Martin brought a popup tent so I changed in that! I gad 6 outfits while my hubby had 5.
We also bought a longer wedding session on the wedding day with his entourage. He was great but Arden Hills screwed us over on so many things so we couldn’t get the shots i wanted.
Our wedding film is beautiful and I will cherish every picture we got for ever.

Martin and his team at CineCrown are great at capturing images that seem so life like that they pop out at you. Colors are so bright and vibrant, they are so beautiful and breathtaking. Martin is so easy going that you will be friends in no time. You will definitely be having fun with him throughout the entire process. The quality and professionalism is worth every penny. Look no further because you have already found CineCrown.

Martin Vo is the guy you want taking your photos. He brings out real feelings. We loved his artistic views while bring out our true smiles. I am not good with smiling at the camera. My smiles usually looks fake, but Martin was able to capture the moments I was truly smiling. I am finally alive in pictures! Martin puts me at ease and he felt more like a friend then a photographer. Our concept was FUN. He worked with us and got everyone to smile and laugh. Even my traditional Vietnamese parents who never smiles in pictures were laughing and he captured those moments.
The product was well worth the price. He doesn’t just schedule a shoot with us and just show up. He continued to work with us up through the wedding. He helped us bring out who we are. His crew was on point during the wedding day. They knew where to be and what photos to take.
The day flew by and we are glad that CineCrown was able to capture it for us.

As many of you may already know or will soon find out, planning a wedding is extremely trying. You will work feverishly and possibly drive yourself a little mad in the process. You’ll torture yourself, attempting to create the perfect experience for your guests. Allow me to burst your bubble before you incur any permanent damage; this feat isn’t possible. My advise to you, is to work diligently towards enjoying your day instead. Don’t worry about everyone else. Because, those who criticize you for seating them next to so&so or claim you included to many pictures of one family member verse others in your video montage, those people don’t matter. It’s the people who smile at your inclusion of that Embarrassing Halloween pic of you and them. Their the ones who truly matter. Because, their the one’s who will be standing beside you when you celebrate your tenth, twenty fifth, and fifth anniversaries. Whether their family or not, their the ones who will enjoy your day, simply because its a milestone in your life and their happy to be their to share it with you.
So, from one survivor to a soon to be, one way at accomplishing this perhaps seemingly impossible feat of enjoying your once in a lifetime moment, is to hire vendors who will help limit your stress before and on your big day. Therefore, we wholeheartedly recommend CineCrown for both your photos and video. Simply they are the best one in town for photography videography and they are the only one that have true filmmakers and cinematography. We were extremely pleased with them. Their true artists. Further, everyone in the company we had the privilege of meeting were extremely helpful and made the process relaxing and enjoyable.

Planning our wedding from San Diego turned out to be very challenging. Luckily Martin Vo and his team at CineCrown came through by putting us at ease even with the short timeline (less than 4 months). My wife and I knew that telling our story was more important than merely documenting the event. The team gave us the perfect balance of artistic beauty coupled with creativity. We wholeheartedly agree with all the other reviews you may have read about Martin Vo and the CineCrown team of professionalism, patience, follow-​through, and most importantly the enjoyable experience we had with them on what is typically a very stressful time.
Martin went above and beyond to accommodate the demanding schedule by coming down to San Diego to shot our engagement and love story. Even though the locations we chose didn’t provide the ideal environment to take amazing shots, his attention to detail and constant drive to take that perfect shot resulted in an overwhelming number of «signature» shots. These signature shots are statements of truly unique beauty we haven’t seen in any other wedding photos; the details, vivid colors, lighting, and angles are absolutely perfect.
On the wedding day, the team arrived early ready to shot. Martin and his team did a great job capturing every aspect of the wedding to the point that my wife and I can pretty much relive our wedding day through their photos/​videos! Throughout the day, Martin and his team did a great job balancing the time spent taking traditional photos and more creative photos, capturing our emotions and us without us even realizing it. My wife and I remember wedding day in a blur but after seeing the photos and videos, we can relive it any time we want with much more clarity.
Overall, if you’re looking for a wedding cinematography with a unique blend of artistic style and passion for what they do, Martin Vo and his team at CineCrown should undoubtedly be your first call. The name «CineCrown Cinematic Photography + Filmmaking» shows they are the whole package so to speak, there is a natural blending of both photography and videography; one creative mind that will work with you every step of the way to ensure your vision is captured. Very likely CineCrown will not be the cheapest wedding photographer you will find, but as the saying goes «you get what you pay for». For us, this was a once in a lifetime investment, so we actually had to cut back on a few other items to make CineCrown fit within our budget. The easiest way we’ve found to recommend them is by showing our friends and family our photo album or wedding video.

Martin is awesome at what he does. He doesn’t just take pictures, he gets to know you, your likes and your dislikes. His pictures are beautiful, colorful and tell your story. I highly recommend Martin for all occasions! Thanks Martin for capturing exactly what I wanted on my wedding day!

Truly exceptional work from Martin and his videographers. My husband and I acquired CineCrown’s services for our wedding videographer. As soon as we met him we liked his character and the pride he takes in his work.
We got a short film package and it gave a cinegraphic quality to our love story. I think I watched our video quite often and was proud to show it to the family. This isn’t a straight chronological video of your wedding day. It’s edited to inspire a feeling and to highlight your days events. It gives you something that pictures can’t.
That day went by so fast I was so glad to have this video. It is an investment, but I definitely would do it again. Took me forever to find a great videographer for my wedding and Sacramento is lucky to have him in the business.
Can’t wait to use your servic

Worth EVERY PENNY. Words cannot express how amazing Martin and his team are in the wedding business. This was by far the best investment my wife and I made for our wedding. At first when my wife and I were budgetting for our wedding it was scary to see that a good portion of the budget was going towards the film, but his services are not limited to just the filmography and photography. Over the span of several months he was very professional, realistic, and communicative. He helped organize a good chunk of the wedding.
I may not have much to say, but believe me Martin and his team will go beyond your expectations. For any special occasion especially weddings, the celebration can be hectic, stressful, intimidating, exciting, and joyful! With all these different emotions running wild, the day just flies by. He captures all the emotions beautifully, so now I can always go back and re-​live all the excitement. This is something that you are going to have for the rest of your life, this is an occasion that should be celebrated for the rest of your life… DO NOT BE CHEAP WITH IT! I’ve got a lot of family and friends that are soon to be married as well, and they will ALL be booking with CineCrown.

Too my family here to get some pictures for my Son, who will be almost THREE years old this November 24! They grow up so fast! Because of this, I really wanted to capture the «moment» in time and to cherish this age longer with customized and personalized photos of him, myself, and my wife.
Honestly, I couldn’t ask for better services, professionalism, as well as artistry when it came to the photos!
Jason and Martin were a great duo pair. They were able to engage my son; made him feel comfortable, AND LAUGHED. Because of that, we were able to get some awesome shots!
Thank you both Jason and Martin for their awesome work!

Martin and his crew went above and beyond our expectations! I can’t even describe how pleased we are with our video. It was the best investment we could’ve made for our wedding. Yes, it’s probably pricier than you’d budget for but after seeing the final product, it was worth it! You truly get what you pay for and his work is the BEST!
When my husband and I were planning for our wedding, we were startled by how much it costs to even have a wedding! I mean, the amount of money you spend for just one day sounds crazy right? Well, we had to ask ourselves, what was most important to us about our wedding? We wanted preserve the memories and have something that would last a lifetime. You truly can’t put a price on the memories a video is able to capture. And not all videos are created equally. Cinecrown’s work is something you want to share with the whole world. It’s quite magical to see how they were able to capture our wedding. Thanks Martin for everything!

LOOKING FOR VIDEOGRAPHERS OR PHOTOGRAPHER! LOOK NO FURTHER THS IS THE ONE FOR YOU! YOU WONT REGRET IT! I PROMISE!!! I KNOW FOR SURE WE DIDNT!!!
I was suppose to do a review right after my wedding but been super busy and finally got the time to squeeze in!!! All I can say is that I LOVE cinecrown «Martin»! He did a perfect job on our wedding video. I was really amaze and speechless about it. I love everything he have done for us!!! Im so glad we booked him. We did our wedding in march of this year and omgosh if it wasnt for martin just being his fun self I think it would have been a stressful day I love how he was able to relax us and told us to just be ourselves. Im just so glad to book him.
So out of the whole wedding my husband was the groomzilla. Everything have to be perfect and with that in back of my mind its very stressful. OMGOSH, but lucky martin was able to help us a lot by talking to us about our wedding and everything. Felt like he was more than just a videographer/​photograher! lol but glad he was there. My husband did not want any video because he said it cost too much and whats the point when we have photographers, but I wanted martin and I was paying for that since he said he will pay for his photographer. So we had a long talk about it and decided to go our ways with what we decide. But after meeting and talking with martin my husband was like I like the video cinecrown does so its good that «we» booked them. More like «I» booked them.
We did our payments according to the contract and I love that martin broke all the payments down for us and they didnt force us to give them a big chuck of money right away. So a few days before the wedding I found out I was pregnant and email my photographer and martin about it and have a little surprise for my husband and they agree. So when the wedding day came along, it was nice and perfect. My husband was really surprise about the pregnancy and full of happiness that he was crying. Everything was caught on camera. It was a very special moment and I love that martin put that clip into the video he made for us. It was a very special day for us and our baby,
After a few weeks of waiting, we finally saw the video and we were in love with it and like martin said it was more like a groom story which is true because it is his dream wedding lol, but martin and his team were the best. With the cameras and video martin used for our wedding we would have gotten charge more but he was very kind and nice to use upgraded cameras and video he just got. The prices go up yearly because theyre always upgraded their machines, Even with the prices we pay the year before he was able to use the new machines! We really got more than what we paid for!!! thank you so much martin and we got a little gift from him too that we love and cherish and will be able to show our kids and grand kids in the future our one and amazing wedding!!! Thank you so much MARTIN and CINECROWN!

I remember finding out about Cinecrown at my first bridal show at Cal Expo in January 2013. I didn’t decide right away to book any videographer since there were so many to research in the area, and I didn’t think I could afford the price for Martin’s services.
Fast forward about six months later, and I still haven’t made a decision. While looking for videography services for my wedding, I was looking for someone who was passionate, who crafted with artistry, and delivered quality. The only videos that really captured what I was looking for was still Cinecrown, and I realized that his work was worth the investment. I’m glad my husband agreed with me and I crossed my fingers that it wasn’t too late to book him for our day. Luckily he was available! If we had waited too long to decide, it would have been possible he would have been already booked and I would have regretted being so indecisive.
Upon meeting Martin, we were so happy he was onboard with our unique vision for the wedding. He is truly passionate about his work as an artist and I appreciated his help to bring our ideas together into a solid theme. He has gone above and beyond for us to capture all the events, emotions, and people that made our wedding day ours. His staff was also very nice and they did a great job handling all the wonderful chaos of our wedding day. If you are looking for something more than just a videographer, Cinecrown has the cinematography skills to give you a film!
