Serena captured the day beautifully, taking stunning photos in the morning and transitioning seamlessly into videography for the rest of the event. Her professionalism, creativity, and eye for detail were evident in every shot. The final images were absolutely spectacular, and the video footage was equally impressive. She even went the extra mile by creating a social media reel for us, which turned out beautifully and captured the spirit of the day perfectly. Serena is truly wonderful to work with--easygoing, communicative, and incredibly talented. I highly recommend Creative Ideation to anyone looking for top-tier photography and video work.

We wanted our wedding photographs to be highly creative and unbelievably elegant, Erum delivered…read moreexactly that. A week before the wedding we had a detailed meeting with her for planning timeline of events, things we would/wouldn't be comfortable with, details of venue, entrance, lights, group shots etc.; she listened to all our requests, made a plan and made the whole experience as comfortable as it could possibly get. We also had a request for outdoor shooting for which Erum researched the area, found a great location, fit it into our day's plan and got some amazing shots there as well. All the while keeping us at ease. Very pleased with Erum's work. Easily 5 stars and highest recommendations for her!

I'm someone who believes in karma and doing good. I turthly didn't want to leave a comment because…read moreI believe in forgiveness, but I thought about it and decided to let others know of my experience with Erum. After all a wedding is a very important and special day. I got married last year, and did not have a good experience with Erum. After our wedding we didn't hear from her for months. We tried calling, emailing and texting her and finally heard back months after. Our wedding photos were delivered electronically 6-months after our wedding. Our USB drive, with our high resolution photos, was delivered almost a month after that. One issue that I was upset about was the fact that we did not have family formal photos and I as the bride do not have a photo of myself alone with my dress elegantly. I was told later by her that we did not give her a shot list, but it's a wedding... What photographer doesn't shoot family formals? We are taking our family formals with our family this summer, but NOT WITH HER. Honestly the thing that upset me most was the lack of communication and service. Your wedding photographer should respond to calls, texts and emails... Again I really didn't want to write a review, but it really has been bothering me inside...

I would also like to give major props to Patrick, who was happy to be super collaborative about the editing process and let me come sit in while he put most of it together (our team is very opinionated). I was also stunned at the amount of usable footage (interviews & b-roll) we were able to collect in two days - we have nearly 10 hours of it. We will definitely be back for second cuts to the same footage and for future projects.

Not only did they make me feel comfortable and excited with their presence but Kia also helped with our timeline in a way that made everything go extremely smoothly. When him Conor and I. Had a meeting couple weeks before the wedding. We were struggling with the timeline of everything and how we're going to incorporate the Persian ceremony with American ceremony and Kia was able to explain how it will be done so effortlessly. As for the actual music, we sent a couple ideas what we wanted the night to be like in Kia couldn't be more perfect in his effortless djing and MCing. And Farzan was a tremendous add, I am so happy We have also had him to compliment Kia. Everyone we spoke to after the wedding could not stop raving about both of them. Also both of their extremely positive attitudes was a cherry on top- they were truly a huge part of the night and couldn't have gone as smooth as it did without them. I need Kia to make a playlist on everything he did because OBSESSED. My maid of honor getting married next year also using Kia also said she is now soooo excited to use you guys!

His team also shoots video and pictures of all of our conferences. He is the only production company we trust with our brand image. We also use Jim and his team on behalf of our clients. He has shot countless videos in his greenscreen studio and on-location for our professional clients (mainly attorneys and doctors). Jim is skilled at putting our clients at ease and helping even the most camera-shy create impressive videos. Gearshift has also helped some of our clients create remarkable voiceover videos using well-chosen imagery and music. Once he turned around a video for a hot legal case in just a few hours, using the attorney's recorded voice and images he selected himself to tell a compelling story (I got the final video from him around 11pm that night after having given him the voice file only a few hours before--this man is dedicated!) He also works with some of the best spokesmodels in the business, and can create scripted spokesmodel videos to impress even the most discerning tastes. Having used pretty much all of Gearshift's services first-hand, I can say with confidence that when you work with Gearshift you not only get a high-quality product, you also get a great team and the unflappable and always entertaining Jim.
