Michael and his second videographer arrived early and were ready to go from the time they got there, ensuring we would get lots of footage. Since there were two of them, they covered our wedding well--from the guys and girls getting ready in separate areas to bride and groom photos being taken while guests were at cocktail hour. Our highlight video Michael made was magical and brought our families to tears all over again! We also got the ceremony and reception films which captured our day beautifully.

Mike Buffo was a videographer for my fitness testimonial end of 2020, in Monterey, CA. I felt very…read morecomfortable following the few directions Mike led me through to begin. I felt relaxed & confident in front of the screen. What made it so much easier, even though I memorized the script, was having the teleprompter right there within the face of the camera (IPad) so all I had to do was read the script & it looked as if I was looking directly into the camera. Mike operated the camera & interviewed me at the same time, which went smoothly in one take, but we did 2 just as backup. We shot at the golden hour, around 3pm, which made the video/ photos turn out stunning! He also took shots of me posing in workout stances to assist the verbal testimonial. I love the results of both the video & photographs! Overall, Mike Buffo was personable & professional & I would definitely recommend him as your next videographer! Thank you!! Yvonne Foletta :)

I hired Marina's team to film a One Person Play called The Father Daughter Dance in San Francisco…read more It was a two camera shot and the results are tremendous. The quality of the video I received was first class. The way the team integrated both cameras in the shot came through was perfect. Marina was superb to work with. She was diligent about scoping out and creating a contract from my needs. She was responsive and flexible when we discussed what her work would be that night. I loved how her cameras were small and high quality not taking up a lot of seats in the theater was really valuable as I could sell more seats. Her work post production was remarkable. She was professional as we iterated on that the ultimate video looked and sounded like. I'm SO happy I hired her to do that post production work, no way I could have done that myself. Finally, she created a great trailer clip that I can now send to any potential venues that I want to book my show at. I strongly recommend Marina's team to work with you on shooting a theatrical performance like mine or any other video needs.

In total, we met 4x in person (initial meet, harddrive dropoff (optional), wedding, last meet to pickup videos & HD). This is probably the most efficient it could've been, and it was so convenient that Van was extremely responsive via email/phone throughout. She was incredibly polite, professional, a true artist in her work -- and you can tell, she's just a very sweet, genuine individual. She carefully listened to any requests my husband and I had, and even respectfully gave feedback that I should just trust her craft (after I was sharing some very specific ideal shots / feelings / flow and video pan -- and honestly, I also didn't really know what I was talking about ;)). I was just incredibly amazed by her other sample videos online and wanted *that* for my own wedding -- but she delivered that, and more! Our wedding video was absolutely perfect and representative of my husband and me, and the values we wanted to shine through (family, faith). In a heartbeat, I would hire Van again! She is incredible to work with and I highly recommend!

I found Michael though my man's cousin (she also happens to own the home where we hosted our…read morewedding). I had called 2 photographers in Gilroy for my wedding, and while Michael was about $500 more expensive than the other one - I realized that getting photographs of the day in the style I preferred was worth the extra expense. We had a few phone conversations and he worked me up a price for the wedding day. (I was not going to need engagement photos OR actual prints). My price included X hours of his time at the ceremony, his retouching/sorting of shots, and then posting ALL photos for me to download. Michael was very pleasant and engaging on the phone and was another vendor that I knew I could count on (whew). You pay 1/2 as a deposit and the other half a few days before the wedding. I met him about 30 mins before the ceremony and he was already shooting away. I had supplied him with a shot list, some photo styles I liked, and a couple other specifics (like that I wanted shots of all the food at my wedding). He covered all of those off. I had also told him I really wanted the group shots to be FAST FAST so I could get them done and enjoy my reception. Now I don't remember all of it, but I recall those shots maybe took 20 mins - which might be a world record. My cake cutting turned out to be after his time ran out - but he was a trooper and stayed the extra time without charging me. In the end there were nearly 700 shots posted for us to download! Everyone always tells you that the day is a blur, and they were right, I barely remember a thing! Thank goodness I have a record of the day with 700 photos. Highly recommend.

During this experience, we were able to capitalize on the natural fall beauty in Burlington, Vermont and Cat captured every sweet moment we had together. My husband and I were not used to being photographed but her sweet demeanor and fantastic ideas made it an unforgettable experience. I used several of the shots from our engagement shoot for our save the dates and put them on our wedding website. Cat was able to get the photos to us really quickly and we were floored by how beautiful they were and loved the variety of shots we had to choose from. I even framed several of the engagement photos and used them to decorate our barn at during our wedding reception. When it came time to our wedding, Cat made our experience even better than I could have imagined! I knew my wedding day pictures would be amazing, but what absolutely surprised me were the special moments Cat captured. From the loving way my husband and I looked at each other at our first look to my dad dipping me on the dance floor, Cat captured all of the moments that made our wedding unforgettable! Cat not only documented these incredible moments, but she also used her artistic eye to photograph every inch of our beautiful barn wedding. She documented each of our meticulously planned wedding areas which meant the world to me, especially because some of the details were gone before I even saw them, such as our delicious donut wall that was eaten up immediately! Words cannot express my gratitude for Cat and her incredible eye. The photos she took will be hanging on the walls of our home forever!

I need a professional Design & Marketing provider to help me with my business. Based on the great…read morereview score, and their website, I thought Brick House Media was promising. When I called them, a young guy just answered, "Hello?" How unprofessional! First red flag. I told him I was impressed by their website, but the way he answered the phone was really unprofessional and sends up a red flag; but I'm willing to move past that and inquire about their services. That was his cue to express a modicum of humility and apologize, but no -he just asked how they could help, with a tone that clearly indicated he really didn't care. There was no life in his voice. When I began telling him what I'm interested in, he cut me off and said he's busy with a client. Wow! Obviously all that glitters isn't gold, as this is clearly NOT a professional business -one that would have someone answer calls when they're with a client, or simply not answer the phone, so they can stay focused on their client. Taking away from a client's time (and money) to answer calls is disrespectful and unprofessional. Seeing any further conversation would be wasted on him, I hung up.

DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY LESSONS THAT WON'T BREAK YOUR SPIRIT…read more "Motherfucker! I bought this expensive camera and I can't make it work worth shit. Sure it is OK in Monkey Mode--auto--but is this all there is?" That was me. Now my buyers remorse is gone thanks to Jared Brick. I bought a NIKON SLR he showed me how to use it. Let's face it, cameras are easy to use now but what you need to know to get good shots in various conditions have not changed. Jared will meet you anywhere and with the patience of a saint tell you how to use your toy. His ability to communicate concepts, and you need to know them, is very good. Does ISO, f stop, and aperture totally confuse you. It should. But Jared makes it simple... "Photography is all about light" "The Aperture mode is the artistry mode" "The ISO is like a dimmer" Golden. Unlike other teachers he LIKES teaching and never is condescending. With tons of Flickr'rs running around with expensive toys like me this guy is the missing piece. Pretty down to earth, willing to drop an f-bomb if necessary. Extra credit there...
