“To say we were impressed with Motion Reel Films is an understatement.
I believe the value of service and effort Julia and Kouyou put into our wedding film is worth every single dollar. They exceeded our expectations and delivered the most amazing keep sake for my husband and I. They really cared about our wedding day as if it was their own and made us feel very special. The quality of their work is next level. They have this ability to take your wedding day and play it back to you like a movie. Amazing quality! From the very beginning they were easy and fun to work with. Julia and Kouyou were there on the day of our rehearsal and helped out with things and planning that wasnt there responsibility but it is because they genuinely cared that they helped make sure all avenues of our special day were perfect and it was! The end product that we received in the mail was over and beyond. These two are quality and that is exactly what is reflected in their work. So lucky to have had Motion Reel Films on our wedding day. 10/10“

“Earlier this year, the creative team from Motion Reel Films came to the Lovebird Weddings studio to introduce their services…I was not expecting what happened next…. Now to put this into perspective, I have personally planned and styled more than 500 weddings…I come across many wedding suppliers…and it takes absolutely amazing to really wow me…so this is what happened…within a few minutes of playing their wedding film, I was in tears…the romance, the emotion, and the little moments that make a wedding day unique and special were so beautifully captured, so carefully edited, and so perfectly understood by the cameraman, that I was overwhelmed and giddy with emotion. I felt like I had witnessed intimate details that I would not normally be privy to. I saw the way her fingers entwined in his, the way only he could make her laugh that way, the way she held his stare that little bit longer before she kissed him. It was amazing and heart-wrenching to witness love captured so brilliantly. I was hooked! Completely! I very quickly employed the Motion Reel Films team to be part of our upcoming photo shoot, and wow, what an incredible film they delivered. I have since had them capture two of my most premium end client weddings, and yesterday, I received one of those films. I cried again…it is the most spectacular wedding film we have ever received…it absolutely captured every detail and more than I could have ever hoped for…I cried for both the emotion that was so beautifully edited, but also for the amount of love that can only go into making films like this. You see, capturing a wedding day on film, is more than just banking the moments, its about understanding the underlying feeling, seeing the relationship dynamics, and being able to capture what others don’t see. That takes a very special talent. Kouyou is quiet in his film making approach, but he understands something about love, for he sees love in the little details. It truly is a gift. Now I would love to keep the Motion Reel Films team as a Lovebird Weddings secret weapon, but this would be a shame, as every bride should have the opportunity of knowing this husband and wife team. With Julia as the organiser and perfect planner to ensure no details are missed, and Kouyou as the creative genius behind the lens and also the master editor…seriously, this company is the best wedding film creative team I have had the pleasure of recommending. Superb in every way. Thank you Julia & Kouyou. I’m so glad you popped in that day. x Trudy, Ashley, Sarah, Karima & Ryan of Lovebird Weddings.”

“We just got our highlights film back and couldn’t be happier. A huge thank you to Julia and Kouyou for their fantastic efforts in capturing our day perfectly. We LOVE, LOVE, LOVED!!! our wedding film. My partner wasn’t initially keen on the videographer idea but he is thrilled with it and glad I twisted his arm on this one. Truly one of the best things we did and I wouldn’t heistate recommending Motion Reel Films. The best videographers to work with and so talented. They go above and beyond most. Love your work guys xoxo”

“A huge thank you to Julia and Kouyou from Motion Reel Films for their beautiful videography. Not only is our video amazing; with incredible attention to detail and professional quality, from our first coffee to the last email they have consistently gone above and beyond to understand us as a couple and our wedding, which meant the video came out perfect. Julia and Kouyou contacted all the professionals and venues involved (without us asking) to ensure everything went off smoothly; and the day and this finished product is testament to their tenacious work. On a side note, we loved having such a lovely, professional and skilled couple to keep us on track and just enjoy the day with. Thanks again guys, we adore our video. Jason and Prue xx“

“Julia and Kouyou are fantastic. They met us before our wedding and personally delivered our films to us and sat with us to watch and double check we were happy with the end result. They managed to keep a secret surprise from me that my husband had organised – well done!
They managed to capture those important moments for us that we would not have seen on the day and especially having our children throughout the film and our silliness made it more meaningful, when we sat down with my parents to watch my father asked to see it again. Our highlights have been seen in Italy (my family), USA and UK (Stephens family and friends) with everyone loving it. Julia & Kouyou you did a outstanding job and you have a lifetime friendship with us. Thank you again so much.”

“The stars of Motion Reel Films, Julia and Kouyou were one of the most industrious videographers we have collaborated with. The ABIA team were astounded by the professionalism, product quality and the quick turnaround in receiving our film.
Motion Reel Films surpassed each expectation, their team are a true reflection of ‘going above and beyond’. Based on the service prior to the event, during the event and subsequent to the event, ABIA would recommend this business to any bridal client. Thank you for your exceptional talents and organisational skills.”
