    Marienne's debut - a traditional Filipino coming-of-age 18th birthday celebration.

    Real Star Media has far exceeded our expectations. Wonderful storytelling, never get tired of watching over and over again.

    Real Star Media's reply:

    Thank you so much for having us to be a part of your daughter's debut. We had so much fun working with you and the rest of the family.

    Not only were we impressed with the talent and professionalism from them, they also managed to put us at ease with how well they've documented every important scenario from our wedding and the days that surrounded it. I even had guests commenting that they wish they had hired him for their own wedding. The videos he produced were brilliantly showcased like a romantic film and he can make an ordinary wedding look extraordinary! Look no further, these guys are the best!

    Real Star Media did an AMAZING, PHENOMENAL job with our Same Day Edit. They captured the best moments and put together the most beautiful video. Our guests were amazed, as were we, and it was probably the most memorable moment of the night. I would DEFINITELY recommend Real Star Media for your wedding too!!

    Raul and the rest of the Real Star Media team are absolutely amazing, and we feel so lucky we found them. My husband and I met with Raul in person and were so impressed by not only his kind personality, but his organization, professionalism, and more than anything, his passion for videography. It was beyond clear that he really cares about what he's doing and about giving the couples he works with videos they can cherish forever. We were beyond amazed by everything included in the videography package - while some videographers nickel and dime you for one 4-minute video, Raul and his team provided us with 8 videos. Yes, 8. We got separate videos of the toasts, a video of our ceremony (beautifully edited - the music in the backdrop of the beginning was actually the audio of my friend singing from later in the ceremony), a montage of the dancing (set to our favorite dancing song, "shout" - it was PERFECT), and trailer-type videos of the preparations and reception, and the "wedding story" - which was definitely the crowning gem. Real Star Media took the typical wedding trailer to another level, by incorporating the story of our relationship & engagement and setting up a separate shoot with us on a different day that they then edited into the wedding video. It makes me tear up every time I watch it - and I'm not the only one - when I shared it on Facebook, pretty much everyone gushed over how it made THEM tear up (even people we don't know well!) and how amazing it was. We were so impressed with Real Star Media from start to finish, and cannot recommend them highly enough.

    At first we were skeptical about hiring them as our videographer because of the price, it was beyond our budget-- but after watching their work and referral of a friend we gave it a shot. We just had fun with our video shoot for "same day edit" and the day of-- Raul Castro, Ruel Calitis and Ruel Yamat were fun and easy to work with.

    And to top it all, the Same Day edit video they made and showed to our guests in the reception were Awesome! Guests were all amazed and can't stop talking about it, and the day after out wedding-- Real star media shared it on Facebook (with our permission of course) and we had a chance to share it with our family and friends --- We all loved it!

    We are so glad, we have them to capture our Wedding. Thank you very much Real Star Media, YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

    More power and More clients to you guys!!!

    Same Day Edit was the Star of our Wedding night!

    I got the Same Day Edit Wedding videos and all of our guests, including us, was in awe! Their SDE was really different from what I've seen before. The Storytelling was amazing, the cinematography was superb. Raul is really talented. He's the real artist of RealStarMedia. Highly recommended! It is really worthed.

    Real Star Media provides professional and high-quality videography services. Raul, Ruel, and Ruel were an absolute pleasure to work with. They made the entire process frictionless and enjoyable. My wife and I simply could not have asked for more.

    When looking for a videographer, we wanted someone who had an eye for detail, composition, and could capture the precious moments of our wedding day...and all within our budget. It was quite a tall order but Real Star Media delivered that and more!

    When we met the team for the first time, we could quickly tell they were professionals dedicated to their craft. They understand the technical side of cameras and lighting as well as the art of storytelling and teamwork. On our actual wedding day, they were inconspicuous and did not get in the way of our photographer, vendors or guests.

    When we received our DVD, we were so impressed with the presentation! It was in a black leather book with our names, wedding date and photos. It is now proudly displayed in our home! We received several highlight videos and I watched them on repeat because of how much I loved them! They captured the tone of our Big Day, the important moments of our ceremony and Dance Party (aka reception) and all of our friends and family!

    Real Star Media exceeded our expectations and we will cherish their videos always! I absolutely recommend this team 100%!

    Videos are always a tricky proposition when it comes to weddings. Everyone agrees photos are a must have, but what about videos, especially when they cost a lot more than photos do? Luckily for us, thanks to some recommendations from friends, we went with Real Star Media and couldn't be happier with our choice.

    We started with an in-person meeting with Raul to figure out what items we wanted and the kind of feel we wanted to go for. Looking at their samples online we knew we didn't want the cheesy route that some couples did, but we liked their cinematic feel. We went for everything except the same day edit, which would be impossible since we had our reception right after our afternoon ceremony. The fiancee and I were given surveys so they could get a feel for our relationship.

    Before the big day, Raul and team scheduled a pre-shoot with us, which took a good four or so hours. Even though it was a blazing hot summer day, they bravely took some outdoor shots of us and drove us around the city to go where our first date was. As the wedding approached they coordinated with our photogs and DJ to make sure they captured all the big moments without getting in the way too much.

    Less than 2 months later they had a great short video on Facebook that was a hit with our family and friends, and we got the full video assets less than 3 months after the wedding. That included all the speeches, the mother/son dance, father/bride dance, first dance, and a 30 minute cut of the wedding along with clips of the pre-shoot, and it had the full wedding entrance as well.

    During the whole process the Real Star team was very responsive to questions, and we were honestly surprised at how quickly they got us our stuff. We paid a fair price for everything and love that we got a video that we can watch every year on our anniversary. If you're on the lookout for a videographer, definitely give their work a look!

    Real Star Media's reply:

    Thank you for the kind words, this means a lot to us.
