Waikiki Video & Photography

Right after my previous review, Lawrence contacted my husband and sent us an edited video. This time, the edited video that we received had a blue editing screen left on it from the editing software. Ugh! We contacted him about it right away and again, he promised to send us a fixed video and we are yet to hear from him. He’s been ignoring out emails and phone calls again. It’s a vicious cycle. 7 months after our wedding, we still don’t have a finished product and he is nowhere to be found. He never posted the highlight on line either which was part of the package.
Let me add that he was very responsive leading up to the wedding day (pay day). It was 180 degree change in responsiveness since then.

If you’re looking for a videographer for your wedding or special event, look no further than Lawrence Medeiros at Waikiki Video Pro. My wife and I planned to meet with several videographers before selecting one. But after meeting Lawrence and seeing his work, we were convinced that he was the perfect fit for us! Lawrence was first and only videographer we met and we hired him immediately to film our wedding at the Bella Sophia Estate. Our wedding DVD really captured all the great memories from our wedding. Lawrence has a gift for matching the music with his videos so there is a nice flow. He has a fun personality and was always open to our suggestions and ideas. He always responds promptly. Our wedding video is something we will treasure forever! Thank you, Lawrence, for making our wedding experience such a joyous one!

Lawrence and his assistant were absolutely awesome on our wedding day. My husband pretty much let me have whatever I wanted when it came to the wedding, but for some reason, was kinda dead set against a videographer because, as he put it, «We’ll never watch it!.» Being a blog-​tastic bride — I knew better so we compromised that we would find a budget-​friendly option, and only have the ceremony filmed. (I decided to have the ceremony and toasts done in the end.)
Through several phone calls, I found Lawrence, whose prices were much more in line with our budget, but also seemed to have quality work on his site.
The proof — however — is always in the pudding.
And Lawrence and Waikiki Video Pro did NOT disappoint us!
We watched our video a few days ago and it was incredible.
The way they edited the music and overlaid the unique kirtan chanting from our ceremony over the first part of the video was a beautiful artistic way of approaching that part of the ceremony. The video was beautiful, professional, dynamic, and compelling. Lawrence has a true artistry and vision and was an absolute professional at our wedding.
We had a unique entrance — with no aisle per se — and a «parade» of sorts where all our friends and family together went to collect the groom and then they all paraded toward me, chanting, and waving ribbons. It was not easy to capture that beautiful moment — with all that going on — but Lawrence and his team did an amazing job!
The vows and ceremony audio were crystal clear which was SO important to us — because we found out later that most of the our guests couldn’t hear my grooms vows! Ooops!
So now we can share this video with them– and they can all hear what he said — and re-​live that incredible, important, powerful day.
Until that moment, I don’t think either of us realized just how powerful the day would be — and as it was happening, I was beyond grateful that we had chosen to have a video done. It would have been SO foolish not to.
In fact — my only regret now is that I didn’t have Lawrence film the entire day!
I can’t go back and do it over — but we absolutely LOVE our video — and YOU, dear future bride — should do yourself a favor and invite Lawrence to do what he does best — and capture, and edit, your important day — so that you can cherish it for all time.
