  • Mark went above and beyond with both customer service and quality of work! He was so easy to communicate with right from the beginning. He took the time to get to know us so that he could perfectly capture all the sweet moments of our day in our highlight video. The highlight video still makes us cry every time... he got right to the heart of the meaning of our day and beautifully incorporated those we love. Not only did he provide quality work, but he did so very quickly! Mark was so kind to work with and he worked within our budget, which we also greatly appreciated. Thank you Mark!!!
