He even played songs we requested from Expedition 33, which made everything feel so personal and unique. When it came to my processional song "Pan's Labyrinth lullaby", he played my song so beautifully, like one of my bridesmaids said, "he put emotion into the song." It truly made the moment unforgettable. He was also amazing with our guests! So many of them mentioned how fun he was, how well he interacted with everyone, and how he played music they recognized and enjoyed. He created such a great atmosphere throughout the event. Overall, Edgar was an amazing asset to our wedding vision. If you're looking for a talented, engaging, and thoughtful violinist, I highly recommend him!

Coming here I was like it's another lockout but this one has always been a fun one as it's full of rooms so a few different bands can do their thing at a time.

As an artist paying for studio time, that's incredibly distracting and disrespectful. I did not feel valued as a client. After leaving, I was repeatedly asked to rebook, instead of being asked how the session went. Bad vibes kill creativity. I would never go back. UPDATED Feb 1-11:24pm After leaving this review, the owner Elliot messaged me AGAIN on Instagram. Took zero accountability and only cares about his image. NOT the client. To address your comment, I asked for a discount, cuz your interns run the session. As Indie artists we have to fight to protect a space we paid for. Often times we don't have other options in the area so we suck it up, but no more! This is not a good studio. I would not go back. Look at how he responds to feedback...

My husband and I were surprised with how good the photos turned out. Owen guided us on poses, so do not worry if you don't have any experience in front of a camera like us. I appreciate his attention to detail (notifying us of stray hairs, etc.) and he was respectful for my family who wanted a group photo. Not to mention, he's really humorous with his pop culture references; that definitely broke the ice and allowed us to be more at ease. I also want to highlight that he works incredibly fast and presented the finished products just a few days after our shoot!

Ron plays multiple instruments and also has access to talented instrumentalists who will help any singer or musician accomplish their goals. His hourly or packaged rates for sessions are reasonable and yet he won't waste your time during the session. I want to finish recording my album and audio book projects with Ron before he gets swept up by major labels around the world to leverage his great talent. He continues to work with major labels and yet is available locally. He is tech savvy and knows how to use tomorrow's technology to produce main stream sound that will blow your mind. My favorite thing about working with Ron is that if you give him the free hand to influence your work, you will be amazed with the outcome.

He recently provided video and audio recording for me, of a 3 hour set, in a noisy restaurant/music venue. The quality was outstanding. In providing this service, he was honest, reliable, conscientious, professional and did everything he said he would do--beautifully, on time, and with great care and attention. He is a rare find: honorable, professional and excellent at his craft.

I'm beyond blown away at Tom's professionalism and the quality for money…read more My company used this company for corporate promotional videos. The product that was delivered was phenomenal. I've worked with other freelancers who've charged much more for much more basic results. The best part of this experience was how easy Tom was to work with. During filming, he needed very minimal direction and it was obvious he understood our vision. He adapted so quickly and collaborated so well, he felt like an instant coworker more than a hired contractor. I trusted his judgment on editing, and that instinct was rewarded. I only had to give him a couple of revision notes, as he understood what we wanted to convey and delivered. The quality of the shots was gorgeous. Extremely polished, with multiple camera angles and shot styles. If you're looking for a quick turnaround time, keep in mind that this company tends to be in high demand and often has a full plate (a good sign) so depending on their workload, there may be a wait on editing. However, Tom carves out intentional time to focus on your project and gives it his full attention. Highly recommend!

Tom was always timely with his responses to us throughout the wedding planning process. When we had questions, Tom answered right away. When we couldn't make up our minds on what photographs to include in our shot list, Tom helped us right away. The planning process was one thing but the actual experience of working with Tom and Angel during the wedding day was such a great experience all on its own! There is so much going on the day of the wedding and so little time to do it. Tom and his staff were so helpful in getting us to the right places at the right times to make sure we got all the shots we wanted/needed. We appreciated his team's work and we also received great feedback from our wedding party and guests on how great it was to work with Tom and his team. One thing we also greatly appreciated about Tom is that he has so much experience, creativity, and vision that on the spot he found several great shots that we never would have thought of! Tom has a lot of experience in photography and it absolutely shows in the his service and the quality of his work. In short, we are extremely pleased that we hired Buckley Photo + Video and would recommend him to anyone!

I went to a sold out concert at the iconic El Rey Theater in Los Angeles and there were 800+ people screaming loudly for LA hip hop legend Pigeon John and guess who was playing keyboard, Peter Hong. He not only records, he creates. Whenever I needed to record a song, I always went to my man Peter because not only does he know what he's doing, but he creates an atmosphere that allows creativity, quality, and efficiency. He creates a business like atmosphere but we also have a great time mixing everything and experimenting with various sounds. I would highly recommend anyone who is serious about recording your track and album to get your single and record done with Peter.
