Rugger Productions

Arash work is amazing. His photos/​video are just amazing and he is really easy to work with.

Talk about one shot at making a good impression. I was looking for a wedding videographer and someone recommended Rugger Productions. I was immediately drawn to their beautiful work — weddings and beyond. And drone footage? Yes please! I entrusted our once in a lifetime event to Arash and his team. A brief conversation with a past client confirmed everything I had heard about Arash being amazing to work with.
The work is one thing, the videographer is another. Arash was one of the most professional artists I’ve ever worked with. Before I signed on, I had a million questions (as annoying lawyers tend to do) and he had smart, helpful answers to all of them. He was clearly confident in his work and not pressure selling anyone, which I loved. Before the wedding he even met with me and my mom to review the layout of the wedding and discuss any important shots we wanted to get.
He was friendly, accessible, and strategic about the entire process. (The fact that he was this nice in the weeks before his own wedding is actually saintly…)
I loved his fresh ideas — for example, he had the brilliant idea of doing a timelapse of my mom and her band of merrymakers setting up the traditional Persian ceremony. To this day, it’s one of my favorite parts of the wedding video. And he also used a new camera that allowed him to face me and my dad as we came down the aisle.
He was committed to perfection. The editing process was smooth and he made every effort at making sure the video captured our night the way we had experienced it. His team had made sure not to interfere with the action of the wedding — I barely remember them being there — but he had perfect footage from the middle of the dancefloor!
Our wedding was nearly half a year ago and I still keep in touch with Arash and his team. In fact, now I’m recommending them to clients for video work!

This review is long overdue, but Arash is an amazing photographer and videographer. He did both my engagement session as well as my wedding. The engagement session was almost an all day affair and throughout my tired facial expressions Arash stayed positive, kind and most of all kept his eye on the prize. He wanted to make sure we took as many photos in as many spots possible. He got so many amazing shots and we are forever thankful for those. His turn around time is insane and we received those photos in less than a few days. For our wedding he also brought in a team who did an excellent job. They showed up on time and set up without even being noticed. They were able to capture the whole days excitement and my husband and I will always have those memories to look back on. Being a bride your mind is all over the place on your wedding day so it’s nice to have videos and photos to look back on to see what you missed. Arash also surprised us with sneak peaks within the first few days of our wedding and we had all of our photos in less than two weeks. Videos followed quickly after that. The package we booked also came with a photo album that is of the nicest quality I have ever seen and we also were given two smaller copies to give to our parents. They were so excited and thrilled and it was so nice to be able to give them those. Thank you again Arash for all that you did for us and our wedding day. I highly recommend Arash and his team for your special events. His punctuality, kindness, sense of humor and extreme work ethics are what make his photography/​videography business such a success.

My organization, New Day International, had a wonderful time shooting with Rugger Productions! We had a vision for the creative narrative we wanted to portray and Arash shared his expertise and talents to really put together a beautiful video and photo collection for us. I am most grateful for the fact that Arash was quick to reply to correspondences and generously shared his time with us in the editing process. We cannot thank Arash and Rugger Productions enough! We look forward to working with them in the near future and highly recommend that YOU do too!

Whether you work with Rugger Productions or are a customer of theirs, you can not go wrong with your choice. Arash (The Owner) is probably one of the most caring, generous, and authentic people I have ever met. He believes in absolute equality, fairness, and will go out of his way to make sure that everyone is taken care of in the proper way. That being said when you chose to use Rugger Productions expect to be treated with the highest quality of respect and expect to be listened to. After all said and done, I am confident that you will be more then satisfied with your whole experience using Rugger. This review should not be taken lightly either, especially seeing that I’m a direct competitor. Thank you for everything, and I look forward to our future work.

Arash is extremely talented! Not only is he a great photographer/​videographer, but he really knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. It can be very awkward and even embarrassing to be in front of the camera, but I didn’t feel one bit nervous taking my head shots with Him. I am so happy with the outcome of my head shots! I highly recommend using Arash, and I can’t wait to use him for my future events I have planned :)

Arash is an AMAZING photographer! I needed to have professional photos taken for my business profiles. Mind you this was my first time, so I felt a little awkward and silly — mostly because I’m not so much a «serious» person. Although, Arash made this easy, fun and enjoyable! The photos turned out awesome. We also ended up taking more casual photos down on the cove in La Jolla. Arash did a great job coaching me through where I should stand, my posture, facial expressions and angels. Truly a great experience and I definitely recommend him and his company to anyone!

Arash and his team have photographed and provided videography for my cousins engagement and wedding, sisters wedding, and yesterday my engagement. I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful and professional they and their work are. Arash listened to what we wanted and more than fully delivered. He knows the best locations and sent us a ‘sneak peek’ within a few hours of our session. We look forward to continuing to work with Arash to capture our most important life events! Thank you!!!

I used Rugger Productions for my wedding and then recommended them to my best friend who just got married last weekend. Arash is one of those people who truly was born to do this! I wasn’t really set on having video at my wedding and after seeing what Arash created, I now know it was the best decision I have ever made!!! He has a vision for each bride and if you just trust him and do what he says, the results are incredible! I can not recommend him enough! I will be using him for all of my photo/​video needs!!!

I recently had the pleasure to work with Arash to get head-​shots taken for work! Never had taken professional pictures since I was very young, and Arash made it an incredibly positive experience from start to finish. I was a little nervous going in, but he was incredibly personable and made me feel extremely comfortable and at ease, despite the initial awkwardness that can go along with a photo shoot. He’s very professional and patient! Truly cares about how the photo turns out.
Now the most important part… the end result. My head-​shots are absolutely stunning. I highly recommend Arash, I can’t imagine the process having gone any more smoothly and professionally.

Arash is an amazing videographer! After debating whether or not to have a wedding video, we decided to invest in it and hired Arash. He was the best and we love our video!
In addition to being one of the best videographers, he is kind, respectful, and punctual. He arrived on time to our wedding venue and set up so quietly, we didn’t even notice he was there. He is easy to work with and gives you directions throughout the day to capture some beautiful shots. He worked well with our photographer too. Definitely ask him to use his drones which provide beautiful aerial shots from above! His turn over time is very reasonable: our video was ready only 2 weeks after our wedding! Arash was also open to make changes to the video to fit our preferences about songs and clips from the day.
In summary, Arash produces beautiful work and provides excellent customer service– you won’t be disappointed!

It is always a pleasure working with you. When you work with great professional vendors it makes everyones jobs so much easier. You have a great crew and your work is awesome. Hope we can work on more event is the future. Everyone that I have talked to that has used your services were very happy. Hope to use you on my own wedding. Keep up the great work.

I would definitely recommend Rugger Productions to anyone. If you’re looking for headshots or to capture a special event, they are the way to go. The photographer, Arash, is a really nice guy and very easy to work with, he’ll direct you and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera!
I drove all the way from Los Angeles to get my photos taken with him. Even after the photos were taken he took the time to respond to my emails and any questions i had regarding edits or changes I wanted made.
Very professional. Don’t think twice.

Arash is hands down, an excellent photographer & business man. This was my first time doing a pro photoshoot so I had very little knowledge of what to expect and what to do. But he explained everything clearly to me, gave me tons of tips on certain things so that he can capture the best out of me, and pretty much made the photoshoot a really fun experience! On top of that, he came up with a lot of creative and unique ideas for the different shots that we did and that makes me feel like my pictures are one of a kind. Bottom line, I was looking for great shooting and processing style and without a doubt, Rugger Productions exceeded my expectations. If I had to choose 5 pros about Arash, it would be the following.
— Flexible
— Punctual
— Friendly
— Professional
— Creative

I came to Rugger Productions to take some head shots for work. I was uneasy about taking pictures, as I’m not comfortable when attention is put onto me. Not only was Rugger Productions an extreme professional, but he had the perfect balance in making me laugh and catching me in my natural moments. He gave me precise directions and guided me on how to create the perfect shot! His calm and collected demeanor is infectious, and I forgot that the cameras were on me. I couldn’t be happier with the final outcome, which was exactly what I was looking for, professional and approachable. Thank you so much Rugger Productions. I hope to do more business with you in the future!

I wish I could give more Stars!
Rugger was recommended to me by two friends. My daughter was born a week prior, and I was hastily trying to get some Newborn shots made. I called Arash, told him basically what I was looking for, and within 5 minutes we set a date, and time.
He was on time, friendly, and professional. He helped guide the process smoothly and you could see in his eyes he was envisioning the photo as he took each capture.
I was extremely impresses at how calm he made the whole process. I expected it to be stressful. This is what I needed most considering I had just become a new father.
He supplied everything I needed, and I was able to send my daughters birth announcements the next week.
I cannot say enough good things about Rugger.

I would highly recommend Rugger Productions for your photography or video needs. The owner, Arash, is very professional and will go out of his way to provide the BEST customer service to make sure your needs are met. He did a photo shoot for my family, and all I can say is that it the quality of the photos are awesome.
If you’re thinking of going to the mall for a glamor photo shoot, I believe it would be wiser to call Rugger Productions first and take a look at the samples of his work. You will not come away disappointed at all. A+ service and A+ photos, you can’t beat that.

Arash has done many different projects for us. Different photography & videography projects for UCSD and UCLA. He has also made some of our best promotion videos for RadioJavan. Above all he is one of the most professional, respectful and on-​time person in his line of work.

Arash was our photographer for my family photo shoot. He did an awesome job! I was able to schedule a photo shoot with him in a short notice. He was flexible with the date and time and was able to accommodate us in a timely manner. He is easy to work with and has creativity. There a variety of locations to choose from for the photo shoot. He does an excellent job and I highly recommend him for any of your photo sessions

I have enlisted the services of Rugger Productions for various different projects ranging from college graduation photos to music video shoots, to various entertainment related projects. The owner, Arash is a very professional individual who really takes pride in his work and will bend over backwards to provide the best service possible. He actually takes the time out to get to know his clients and learn about their actual needs so he can recommend the best options available to his customers depending on the type of shoot they need done. I have been extremely satisfied with the quality of work, and level of professionalism provided by Rugger Productions and would highly recommend them to any of my friends or professional peers.
