Karen…AGAIN…I can’t thank you enough for your professionalism, creativity, patience and persistence to get the Gundacker Project ‘Plug Me In’ music video project done and at the budget we set.

I appreciate your tireless determination and effort from my story boarding to the shoot to the edit in what amounted to being an amazing turn around time. You did all this with pin point accuracy and care as if it was your own.

I also appreciate you consulting with me on the phone after the dailys, rough edit presentation and then allowing me to sit by your side during the final editing process. Not many would allow such but you did it without hesitation and I will always appreciate that. I would recommend Karen to anyone, anytime be for a music video or other type of shoot. A class act all around. Thank you and much appreciation. Timothy J. Bednarz Campbell, CA

AKA Media Group did a superb job at my daughter’s wedding. They changed plans due to our request at the last moment, were accomodating, professional, considerate, and enabled us to keep all our special moments beautifully.

**************************************

I will always go to them and recommend them to everyone I know for the excellent services that they provide. We have used Karen on many occasions my daughters wedding, 2- 50th birthday tributes, a 1 year old Birthday and she goes above and beyond to make sure everything is just the way we want it. We are so happy with all of her work. She is a perfectionist and it show in her work. We will definitely use her in the future!

**************************************

Karen is the best!! I contacted her maybe a month out from my wedding (perhaps less!) and she was immediately on the ball. She’s extremely detailed and punctual. As a bride, you have a MILLION things going on in your brain. Karen made almost everything a no brainer for me, which I REALLY appreciated. She asked all the exact questions needed and took charge to create the best wedding video. Seeing her immediate work ethic was a huge stress relief for me because I knew I could could count on her! I knew I could trust her with her work and didn’t need to feel paranoid or like I needed to ” check in” on anything (as most brides feel about practically everything). She’s amazing.

**************************************

I actually didn’t even meet Karen until the day of my wedding! But as soon as I saw her working in action I knew she was the right woman for the job. She’s a great business woman and on the job I saw her creativity really shine and I loved it!! I also LOVED that she was not shy about asking the Bridal party to reenact certain things or pose in ways that she knew would look great for film. She even helped the photographer with some picture arrangements! I LOVE it when a person in their industry is not only excellent but confident and not shy about suggesting things that they know will work great. Because Heaven knows the bride wants everything to be perfect but does not have the brain power to execute much, haha! She needs people who are on the ball like Karen. THANK YOU!!!!! A++++

And now 3 months after the wedding I can say, Karen CONTINUES to be amazing. I have heard horror stories of videographers holding your film from months to years or not hearing from them after giving them the check. Karen had SUCH a fast turn around that, I kid you not, the DAY AFTER our wedding, we already had a draft of the highlight reel to watch. My husband and I were in London at that point and overjoyed in tears to see our wedding highlights so soon! Timing really is everything for special occasions and Karen is just a 10 out of 10.

Anyway, I could say many more things but the best thing I can say is that you will not regret hiring Karen for the job!!!! She’s the best!

Karen Alvarez and crew shot the video for B*Dazzled Dancers annual recital and what an amazing job she did! After 5 years of being completely disappointed trying different videographers, we have finally found a great one. She is the most detailed, professional, personable videographer I have yet to meet. Karen has kept me in the loop throughout the whole process, her communication skills are exceptional. The wonderful quality of video and the edits with her camera angles just top off this fabulous experience. I look forward to the many years of working with Karen and AKA Media Group.
If you are in need of a videographer, I highly recommend using AKA Media Group as you will not be disappointed.

**********************************

Holy smokes this woman delivers! I asked Karen, last minute, to shoot a video for my wedding and she not only squeezed me in after a full day of work, but she brought a second shooter with a drone! She stayed up late that same night editing so she could send me the video of the ceremony from 5 different camera angles the next day along with highlights from the whole day. Karen goes a step (or 2) above your expectations.

Best of all, she has a refreshing sense of humor and is fun to work with.She was so wonderful we used her again for a kickstarter video! She is literally also a rockstar!

*************************************

Karen did an amazing tribute for my late brother Joey from Y & T. She didn’t have much to work with either! Some of the photos I gave her were in bad shape, I had found them in a bag getting moldy. But somehow, she was able to bring these photos to life.
The music playing absolutely fit the photos. It was so touching and professional, I really was blown away by the presentation and how caring she was. She captured the true person, not just the person people saw on stage performing. She worked so hard to make sure that everything was perfect, and it was!

**************************************

Karen did our photos for our dental office and they turned out great!
She did such a great job, she made us feel comfortable, and she captured great smiles. We will definitely have Karen do more photos in the near future because she is professional, friendly, caring, and a perfectionist.

*************************************

Karen is amazing at making your pictures and videos come to life and putting them all together in one video. She has made many videos for me from my sons 16th Birthday, graduation and our world travels! Editing is the key, she has an eye for the best shots and the results are amazing! I am looking forward to my daughters long awaited video..I know it will be the best!! Thank you Karen your work ethic, talent and delivery is the best!

We had multiple videos taped and edited with Karen at AKA Media. As an education company she has helped College Soccer Panels expanded our mission to educate high school athletes with video. We originally performed seminars in person with our panelists of college coaches and now our seminars are taped to expand our business platform to DVD sales. Karen is a true artist when editing and invests her time and patience to capture the message we want to deliver. Thanks Karen for increasing our visibility in the marketplace.

Looking for a professionally inexpensive shot video of your son’s or daughters soccer game to make a professional college video to market them to college coaches? Coaches are deleting in first 10 seconds videos that are shot at field level, bad music, parents talking, bad editing, no distinguished markings of your player. For that added POP in getting your emails open we are honored to recommend AKA Media Group and their owner Karen Alvarez to anyone in the Bay Area and Northern Cal looking for help in this area. “Since Karen was the mom of a 3 sport high school star who videoed every game, she has all the knowledge and talent to makes sure your video sets itself apart from other videos and get a college coaches attention to watch the whole thing and not just a few seconds” said Jeff Jaye, director of iSoccerPath.”
