Jg Video Productions

Would give no stars if I could but Unilocal doesn’t allow it. Since we were spending so much money on the wedding for over 300 guests we really did not have much left in the budget for a photographer or videographer. We made the mistake of going with JG Video Productions (Jess Gomez).
1.) In our contract we were told that we were getting 2 photographers and 2 videographers but we only got one videographer and two photographers
2.) Both photographers and the videographer spent so much time with the groom and the groomsmen for photos before the ceremony that by the time they got to me I only had enough time to take one photo with each of my bridesmaids and my mother in the hotel room where we were getting ready… I do not have any photos with my father! Whereas the groomsmen and my husband got to take several pictures together while getting ready/​dressed and they also got to take the limo to another location and take even more pictures!
3.) Then when I, the bride, got to the ceremony site and was going to get out of the limo to meet my dad for the first time you would think that a photographer would be there… but no… The limo driver ran to go get him and the limo driver was told that they didn’t need to get that shot! WTF!!!
4.) During most of the reception I have no clue where these guys were. I assumed that they were off taking pictures of my guests or filming greetings from individual guests but when we saw the proofs to the pictures and the video there WEREN’T any pictures of my guests and there were no greetings or well wishes on the video! When we signed the contract Jess told me that they would be taking pictures of the guests at each table and after the wedding I asked him where those pictures were and he told me that he did not take any because he was waiting for me to tell him when to take them! WTH… shouldn’t he be directing me? His explanation about not getting the guests comments or greetings on video was that he did not have time… well, if we got the 2^nd videographer that we were contracted for then there would have been time!
5.) Another BIG disappointment is that I got married on the 4^th of July and had a huge firework display and there is ABSOLUTELY NO video footage of the firework show and there are only 2 semi good photos of us watching the fireworks.
6.) In our contract we were promised three copies of the video and I only got 1.
7.) In our contract we were also promised the raw footage but it has been over a year and still haven’t gotten it yet. Before we signed the contract with Jess we told him how important it was to get the raw footage because there might be things that are important to us that he might not think is important and not include in the edited video. He said that it wouldn’t be a problem to give us the raw footage. In reading Stephanie N.‘s review I hope that he has not deleted the footage!
8.) Also in our contract we were also promised a copy of the slideshow that Jess put together for us and a special video clip that we played during the wedding but we still have not received any of that.
9.) We have been trying to contact Jess on and off for the last year and very aggressively over the past few months to get these items from him but he has yet to answer any of our calls, voicemail messages, emails, texts, etc.
10.) We have also been trying to contact him to meet so that we can give him our photo selection for our custom made photo album but again, he continues to ignore our calls. We have tried to catch him at his office as well but I guess he doesn’t really go there.
11.) We also asked for specific things to be in the edited video but they were left out.
I don’t know what to do now… my husband also made the mistake of paying Jess in full at our wedding in cash!

If you want a good or even decent wedding video, do NOT use JG Video Productions.
Video was at the bottom of our priority list because we spent $$$$$ on our photographer and most everything else in our wedding, so we used JG Video because it was cheap. If all you’re going for is A video and quality does not matter, then use him at your own risk.
I did not like Jesse Gomez’s service for the following reasons:
1) Video was cheesy
2) He told me I’d get the video within a couple of weeks after my wedding. This turned into more than a couple of months. (Perhaps this is because my husband accidentally paid him in full on our wedding day, rather than just the initial deposit that we were only required to give him.)
3) He selected music for our video without any of our input; I had to ask him to change the music.
4) He misspelled my husband’s name in the video!
5) When I asked him to fix it a couple weeks later, he said he already deleted the footage from our wedding and could not fix the name for us. He said it was my fault for not contacting him sooner although he never gave us any warning that we had a deadline to ask for changes or corrections.
6) Only when I demanded some money back for the the misspelled name, did he say he can recover the video to fix my husband’s name.
7) When he fixed the name in the video, he lost some footage and could not include some of what was in the original video he gave us.
8) Before doing our video, he asked me to send him one of our wedding invitations so that he could show the invitation in our video. When I got the video, there was NO footage of our wedding invitation.
Originally when we got a quote from him, I didn’t respond because I was still debating on videography and getting other quotes. When I did not respond to him, he lowered his quote. His emails were also unprofessional so going in, I had reservations about him. I should have gotten the hint then that he cared more about getting our money in his pocket than giving us good service. But hey, I suppose you get what you pay for — and he was cheap. And in the end I got a video. (In hindsight, we really should have gotten someone else to do our video even if it would have cost more money.)
