Blue Moon Productions

Andy Hirsch was recommended to us by some close friends and hiring the Blue Moon team was one of the best wedding decisions I made. I’m very particular and after meeting with Andy, I knew that we’d be in good hands. Other vendors I interviewed didn’t ask as many questions about what I wanted/​what was important to my fiancé and I. Andy took the time to listen and get to know us even before a contract was signed! He is swift to respond and easy to talk with. The Blue Moon team has integrity and made this process so easy for me. At our wedding, his team was professional and, in a good way, invisible! One of my pet peeves is when cameras distract from special moments at weddings. Andy and his team captured everything while staying discreet-​it was perfect! We are 110% thrilled with our wedding highlight and full-​DVD. Andy and his team captured treasured moments that we can relive forever thanks to his excellent videography skills. Don’t go anywhere else for your wedding videography needs. Andy is your guy! Thank you Blue Moon for preserving our wedding memories for years to come!

Exceptional attention to detail, artistry, creativity, and passion shine through Andy’s work. Truly outstanding craftsmanship in every regard.
And service?! To get the additional beach footage we had envisioned (but lacked time for), Andy spontaneously volunteered, free of charge, to meet us at our remote site another day.
About a month after the wedding, we met again to finish, & we are beyond thrilled with our Princess Bride II DVD. Andy even incorporated our professional photographer’s pictures onto the DVD cover, and his front, back, & end designs could pass for a real movie on the shelf at Best Buy.
Even the menu page is elegant & professional, with additional unique & fun film clips woven together.
Cannot overstate how happy we are we found Blue Moon. Incidentally, we found Andy through our drone cameraman, Matt Abrams, whose work is also exceptional!
Finally, please see the link to the Blue Moon Productions website to view examples the finished products, which speak for themselves. Definitely worth waiting for.

Blue Moon Productions is the best! Andy has done many events for me in the past and I am always thrilled with how great the finished product comes out. He has done my mother’s 65^th party, my 40^th party and most recently my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah. The editing and shots are top notch and when added to music are fantastic. Hire him… you will be glad you did.

My husband and I couldn’t be happier with Andy and Blue Moon productions for our wedding. Andy and his team were professional, fun, and extremely talented! Andy captured all the beautiful moments of our day and created something spectacular. My husband had tears in his eyes 2 minutes into the video. Our church didn’t allow up close video of the ceremony and I was worried that it would seem detached in the video but Andy had all the right equipment to make the ceremony seem as personal as ever. Of all our vendors, Andy was also the quickest to respond to all questions and concerns we had leading up to the wedding. Without a doubt, we recommend Blue Moon productions for your wedding. You will not regret it!

We were so happy that we chose Andy at Blue Moon Productions. He was super easy to work with and flexible with all our meetings. We even had him come to the rehearsal dinner to capture speeches and dances and he was great — on-​time and reliable.
At first, I wasn’t too excited about all the lights and cameras (since I don’t like to be the center of attention although I was the bride so there was no escaping it this time) but the finished product was amazing! He captured the feelings, the excitement, all the relatives that we wanted and our highlight video still brings me to tears — he captured it all! It isn’t very often that you watch the whole video but I keep the highlight video open on my phone to cheer me up when I am feeling down. Andy really did a great job!

If I could give 100 stars I would! My husband and I just watched our wedding video and cried our eyes out. Andy captured every perfect speech and moment. Watching the video brought us right back to the best day of our lives. From the first meeting with Andy and his extreme attention to detail I knew he would create the perfect piece for our wedding to look back on. Andy and his professional staff arrived early for the rehearsal and stayed later at dinner just to make sure they didn’t miss a speech for us. On the big day they exceeded my expectations and made both my husband a and I feel so comfortable. When planning my wedding everyone recommended getting a videographer but I didn’t realize until now how important and beautiful it would all turn out. We look forward to sharing our video someday with our kids. By far the best money we spent on our wedding. Thank you blue moon video productions!

If I could give Andy Hirsch and his team at Blue Moon Productions 10 stars, I would because that’s exactly what he deserves! We booked Andy as our videographer for our wedding last year and it was the best decision we ever made! After researching many other options none compared to the cinematic, artistic and detailed approach that Andy knows how to capture. He is truly amazing at his craft and knows how to capture such beautiful moments of your special day in a natural and behind-​the-​scenes kind of way. From the moment we met Andy we knew he was the one we wanted. On the day of our wedding Andy and his team showed up on time, were extremely professional throughout the entire day and more importantly showed incredible warmth and friendliness when trying to capture the many special moments of our day. Andy never failed to have a smile on his face and also has a way to make you feel calm and relaxed in his presence. My family and friends were also very impressed by how friendly and professional Andy and his team were. He really knew how to graciously direct and guide everybody when needed in order to make sure he got all the shots he needed to get. When we received our highlight video and wedding video we were simply blown away by how beautiful and impacting both were! We received so many compliments when we shared our highlight video. Everyone kept saying it was like watching a preview to a movie of our love story. He has such an artistic eye with attention to detail and the way he puts it all together to represent and personalize you as a couple is pretty incredible! He really does go the extra mile to understand you as a couple and will portray that in your videos. If your looking for a videographer, look no further… Andy is your guy!!! It can be so stressful to research and decide on all the vendors you want for your wedding, but I hope to make it much easier for you when I say, Andy is the one you want as your videographer believe me!

We were so incredibly happy we decided to choose blue Moon productions. Andy was an absolute pleasure to work with, he was easy-​going, understanding, and most importantly we love the finished product. He captured our day beautifully and put together a beautiful video. He was by far one of our favorite vendors. I am happy to talk to anybody who would like more information, so please feel free to contact me.
Thank you Andy!!!

We hired Blue Moon Productions to video our son’s wedding and could not be happier with the results. Not only did Andy and his team capture all the important parts of the wedding and reception, but they were unobtrusive and pretty much invisible the entire evening. When we received the video highlight, we knew we were in for a treat when the entire video arrived. It is artistic and beautifully edited. For anyone who wants to relive a special event for years to come, I highly, highly recommend Blue Moon Productions.

Hiring Andy, of Blue Moon Productions, as our videographer was one of the best choices we made. Not only he is incredible nice person, but he is also a fantastic videographer. On a personal level, Andy can’t be beat.
We live on the east coast so communicating with our vendors was always a challenge. Andy always found ways to make time with us whether it was on the phone or over video chat.
Most importantly, Andy is extremely organized and has an incredible eye for photography. He is constantly finding angles and unique locations to get images. We couldn’t be happier with the video that Andy put together for us.
I recommend Andy without a doubt.

We hired Andy/​Blue Moon to capture my son’s Bar Mitzvah. I interviewed a number of videographers and was very impressed with Andy. I am a photo/​video enthusiast and very much appreciate high technical and artistic quality. His use of DSLRs to capture the video as well as his use of multiple cameras for both the ceremony and reception yielded great results. Andy was a pleasure to work with at both the ceremony and evening party. He captured everything we wanted and more and with exceptional quality and his edits and artistic presentation of the finished product are great. I would definitely recommend Andy and Blue Moon.

Caveat emptor «Buyer beware»
Andy, advertises his video company at our Synagogue, and trades his services on the fact that he is a member and should be trusted. Unfortunately for us, this was not the case. Our Barmitzva was small, and not as long as most, but I was still paying the same amount of money. To begin with Andy was busy that day and arranged for another person to cover for him. Then he unprofessionally asked me not to mention to the videographer what I was paying for the service. I can only guess that this man was being paid a smaller fee for fewer hours, even though Andy did not reduce the cost to us.
Next I informed him that both grandfathers, who lived overseas were ill, and this video would be the most important thing for them to be able to see their grandson being Barmitzva’d. I asked for his help in pulling this DVD together as fast as possible, but each time I contacted him he was always busy with other jobs.
Reading reviews on Unilocal I see this is a common theme… although none as long as the nearly 2 years we had to wait… In the end one of the Grandfathers died without seeing his only grandson complete his Barmitzva. I emailed Andy to inform him, and enquire exactly how much longer I would need to wait.
He informed me curtly, that he would prepare it the following week. This he did, and sent me a very badly cut, (with main pieces missing), sound blurred along with hissing noises throughout, and finally, to add insult, packed in flimsy cracked cases. There was no intro and no ending, and had obviously been put together with complete disregard by a disgruntled Andy who was, as always, busy.
To say I am disappointed, after investing well over $ 2000 for a video that was to be our only memory of that day, is true, but worse is the fact that my son’s Zaidie, who managed to live through the Holocaust… never got to see it.

My wife and I chose Blue Moon Productions to capture the precious moments at our wedding. I couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of work from Andy and Dan. They prepared a short highlight of our wedding that was paired with the perfect music. We were given four DVDs with the full length video and the highlight so we could let our parents keep a copy for themselves. It was the most important day of our lives and they have managed to capture all of the wonderful moments and place them into a 2 hour video. Our day has been preserved forever and we enjoy reliving it every time we watch it!
Thank you Andy and Dan for making the perfect wedding video! We will definitely be recommending Blue Moon Productions to our friends and family for all their events!

I haven’t cried that much… since our wedding! Andy found the best moments of our wedding and managed to –with surgical precision — attach it to the perfect music in our highlight reel. He also managed to condense 4 hours into one that truly conveyed the sentiment of the evening. A consummate professional… unbelievably talented.
I’d never thought much about a highlight reel until I was introduced to Andy, and now I cannot imagine NOT having it. We’ve watched it over and over, and we JUST received it! He even uploaded a version so I could put it up on YouTube to share with friends and family.
It’s so special, and you would be doing yourself a disservice by not talking to Andy about having him videotape and create a DVD of any special event. I am a marketing consultant, and will reach out to Andy whenever possible to videotape client events.
Thank you, Andy.

Blue Productions does terrific work, but be prepared for taking 6 months or longer to receive your DVD. It is written in the fine print on the contract. Even though most other providers take 4 to 6 weeks, Andy requires 6 months for delivery. When I asked about this, Andy said they were busy. It really should not take 6 months to produce a Bar Mitzvah video. He did produce a 5 minute quick capture for me so my mother could see it before she passed away, which I appreciated.
The feedback from other professional video companies I have worked with all agree that 6 months is way too long for a personal DVD production. Our professionally produced videos are always done in a month or less. Andy needs to properly resource his company to deliver in more reasonable times.
His prices are reasonable and comparable to other companies.
He was very good to work with during the event, has a great personality and is familiar with Bar Mitzvah settings. So if you’re looking for quality, Andy does great work.
But be prepared to take a extremely long time before you get the final delivery.
Ask yourself if you are willing to atleast 6 months after the event to receive the DVD.

One of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding was hiring Blue Moon Productions. Andy and his team were incredible, from start to finish. The first day we met with Andy, we were sold. No need to look elsewhere, there was NO WAY we weren’t having them involved with our big day.
Andy and his crew captured so many details and special moments at our wedding that have been so much fun to relive each time we watch our amazing video. Even our other vendors raved about Andy & his team, repeatedly mentioning how much they enjoyed working with them and how impressed they were.
I can’t say enough good things about Blue Moon Productions. I give them my highest recommendation, and can guarantee you’d have just as wonderful of an experience working with them as we did.

Andy is a wonderful videographer and we highly recommend him! He is not only extremely professional but also exceptional at his craft. I am so pleased with the final product — we had quite a few family members who were unable to attend the wedding, so being able to share the DVD with them was definitely money well spent. We had him film both the ceremony as well as the reception and he managed to capture so many of the fleeting moments that seemed to blur by that day — I am so glad that we had them preserved and can watch the DVD whenever we want.
This is definitely a keepsake that my husband and I will cherish always.
Thanks again Andy!

Rob and I feel fortunate to have met Andy at a tasting/​preview evening at the Los Gatos Opera House. We had already booked the Opera House for our reception and were thankful to be able to meet a number of the Opera House’s preferred vendors during the event. We spoke with Andy and liked his energy and professionalism immediately. We previewed his website the next day and were impressed with the quality of his work. We scheduled a meeting with him and booked him for our wedding that day. We were so happy with Andy we felt it would be a waste of time to interview anyone else.
Andy has a lot of energy, is a genuine and thoughtful guy, and a FANTASTIC editor. Filming is such a small part of his job. After working for an editing company in LA for a few years I feel qualified to vouch for his talent and creativity. He cut a four-​minute «highlights» video for us that really captures the spirit of our wedding and the personalities of everyone involved in the day. We have been proud to share it with our friends and family and their responses have been terrific.
We are equally thrilled with our full-​length video. During the wedding and reception Andy filmed the important moments, wonderful video of both the Mission and Opera House, and our friends and family having a great time. I was adamant that even though this was «our day» I wanted the video to focus on our guests and their experience as much as on us. Andy artfully edited establishing shots, wedding details, the ceremony, and reception to create a well-​paced and beautifully designed «Leanne and Rob» wedding story. We think Andy is great and highly recommend him!

We put Andy on our short list of videographers after watching the sample reels on his website. His shots are fresh and creative without being overly clever. He has a great eye for composition and color. His editing is tight and crisp. He seems to have a knack for ‘getting’ the personality of each couple, and his own style never gets in the way.
He won our business the instant we met him. He’s the nicest guy you could meet.
Our wedding day had its hiccups, and Andy took everything in stride. A week before the wedding, we had to change the start time of the ceremony, and he gave us some extra time for free.
On the day itself, our officiant was an hour late (he arrived 5 minutes AFTER the ceremony was supposed to start), and Andy was able to get him mic’d up in a few seconds flat as soon as he arrived. He even helped pin flowers on a couple of my groomsmen, when we were a bit frantic.
At one point during the reception, our photographer was out of the room capturing some closeups of our rings, and we were about to start the toasts. Andy made sure the DJ and the speakers waited while he ran out to fetch the her. Through all these things and lots more, he was nothing short of professional and just a lot of fun to work with.
We were thrilled with his flexibility, his professionalism and all the ways he went the extra mile. I can’t wait to see the final results.

Andy, although he was booked our weekend was able to provide a great service. When my mother and I met up with him he was nice, friendly and showed great, clear work. He had a lot of great equipment and we actually ran into him at the Legion of Honor on our wedding day!
I really enjoyed my videographer, James.
I feel he caught alot of great things — and when my time was up and I asked him to stay longer, he didn’t bail on me. So we were able to get our surprise singing performance, as well as a private rendition of «My Little Pony.»
Also, during a break — and we needed a break — James was so kind and observant to ask me if I wanted something from Starbucks. I almost fell down in thinking — what? for me? I mean, really? Dude, he totally read me and brought me a mocha. I am touched by his kindness and although I’m sure he’s captured some great memories on our wedding day, he made one too.
I can’t wait to see what visual storytelling comes from a great person. Will update.
