  • 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.

  • Mark was such a pleasure to work with. When I first spoke to him, he took the words out of my mouth and verbalized exactly what I wanted in terms of a highlight film and long film. He was prompt, professional, respectful. The videos are better than I imagined. Mark is amazing!
