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.

They were reliable, professional, and most importantly dedicated to finding creative solutions that exceeded our expectations.

It's been a pleasure working with DMV Productions and we look forward to our next project together!

We are likely leaving the area in early 2014 so I wanted to have some professional photos done of…read moremyself with my husband and our greyhound to commemorate our time here. After doing some online research and talking with a few photographers I decided to work with Stacey. We met in Old Town Alexandria one Saturday afternoon in October. I was nervous at first but shortly into our photo session I felt at ease as Stacey is friendly, professional and fun, not to mention amazing at what she does! She was also great with our greyhound and got some adorable shots of him. Stacey has a wonderful eye for light and color and found a lot of unique backgrounds for our photos. Our online gallery was available after about a week and a half and the results were fantastic! Soon after, Stacey scheduled a free consultation with us to view all our photos on the large computer screen that she has and to help us pick out which prints and framing options we wanted to put up in our home. She even helped us decide how best to place the photos on the wall. We received all our prints last week and have gotten our framed prints up on the wall, we couldn't be happier! If we were staying in the area I would absolutely work with Stacey again in the future.

Stacey is amazing.

I moderated a panel last week and a panelist I was being introduced to said, "yes, the woman with the most amazing head shot." Yesterday morning we did our 5th(!) family mini session shoot with Stacey in a garden next to the Capitol. It's wonderful to get these beautiful shots of our children growing up -- and have some shots with me that I love that aren't selfies! Years ago Stacey took an iconic (among our family and friends) photo of my son sulking off to the left of the Washington monument when my husband and I were were standing to the right smiling while pregnant with our daughter. That same day Stacey was able to joke around with our son and get the best shots of him smiling and enjoying himself. Our daughter enjoys the shoots just as much. Thank you, Stacey!

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.

Ryan and his team surpassed this standard tenfold! From the booking process and through planning, Ryan was always responsive and helpful if I had a question or concern. On the day of, he and his team arrived early and began working right away. They made everyone feel comfortable and beautiful all day long! My favorite part about Ryan and his team was the fact that I would forget they were there. We were just so comfortable and happy and in our element. Less than two weeks after the wedding, we had our extended highlight film and I have watched it no less than 10 times. It was so perfect- it truly surpassed every expectation I had when it came to our video. If you are hesitant about hiring a videographer, DON'T BE! Having Ryan's video to show our families, children and grandchildren one day has been the greatest gift we ever got. Absolutely blew my mind how wonderful this whole experience was. Thank you so very much Ryan!

Wedding cinematography has definitely reached new heights. Ryan's work far exceeded all of our…read moreexpectations. When our same day edit came on, there was nothing but silence, a few moments of laughter, a few tears, and an overwhelming response from our guests came in on how ridiculously great Ryan did on the video. If you are looking to surprise your guests, a same day edit is the way to go. It's a highlight video of the days happenings and they play it right at the reception, and include tidbits of the reception! It is really amazing because his artistic vision is definitely out of this world and he works sooooo fast. He is definitely in the zone at one point, with his headphones on and crazy ninja editing skills. I encourage you to work with him. He is easy to talk to, super duper responsive to emails, and will not let you down. He catches all those beautiful moments and the pure unadulterated emotions of love and a joyous celebration. You want to remember your best day of your life, this is the way to do it!!! The unfortunate news for my LA friends is that he is moving to the east coast. The good news is that my east coast friends can enjoy his services! Love his work. He is truly the best.

We were planning our wedding during the pandemic and things were constantly uncertain as to whether or not the wedding would be able go to on. Iman and DJ Kia had routine calls with us to check-in and offer advice. We knew we could trust their opinions and flexility during the uncertain times. On the day of the wedding, DJ Kia was so involved with every aspect of the ceremony and reception. He knew exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to make our wedding day an unforgettable experience. He literally orchestrated our ceremony processional and was making sure everything was running smoothly. Everyone felt at ease walking down the aisle because DJ Kia was there to send them off. We were lucky enough to have Iman MC our wedding, and believe us when we tell you he knows how to put on a show. The dance floor comes alive with Iman on stage and everyone was out of their seats and dancing the entire night. Our cocktail hour ended up going over schedule, which pushed back our reception. It was no worry though, because Iman was there to quickly restructure the timeline and ensure everything ran smoothly. Even with unexpected issues, we felt completely at ease knowing he had us covered. He is such a genuine person who truly cares about his client's happiness. We also used Night Owls for our video production and working with them was a truly pleasant experience. They captured every aspect of the wedding beautifully. In just a few short weeks, we had our trailer and wedding video created, both of which were edited to our liking. They were extremely patient with us throughout the process and the end result is videos we still can't stop watching! Thank you to Brandon and the team at Night Owls for all of their hard work. We also want to give a special thanks to Wake on the sax, Farzan on the drums, and Cyrus on the cello. These three gentleman made the music come alive and our guests could not stop raving about how talented they were. My wife and I still talk about just how great it was working with Exclusively Entertainment and we would absolutely recommend them for your events!
