Nick did a great job shooting our wedding. He was professional, nice, and did the job very well.
Nick and his wife were the perfect pairing to capture every moment of our wedding. From arrival to departure, Nick was professional, helpful to our other vendors, and just delightful to work with. Nick was right on with his final product timing, and the final product was just amazing. We look forward to watching our wedding videos back and sharing them with our families and friends. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Nick was fantastic and was able to put together a great highlight film without us really knowing how to ask him for a video. He is willing to put together a custom package as we wanted a bit which was above and beyond his normal packages.
We had both Him and his wife there to capture our wedding and both worked great with our other vendors including capturing sound from everyone.
Nick was quick to provide a reasonable quote with several options. He was very flexible and had great suggestions. The day of the wedding, he was ready and assisted to get everyone set up with mics. He really seemed to know how to capture the best moments. We are looking forward to getting the video back! So far we are very pleased with Nick.
Nick was a great photographer! He made me and my husband feel comfortable the entire time taking photos. He suggested fun poses to get us to laugh and feel natural in front of the camera. He was also open to our suggestions and was patient with us. I would highly recommend!
Nick is a fantastic person to work with and my wife and I are very happy with the work he did for us. He was prompt with getting the photos back to us and very professional throughout the whole process. He got along great with our families which was a plus personally for us, I appreciate that in a photographer because I think it made the experience as a whole much better.
Nick also did a great job picking out locations for photos even beyond what my wife and I had originally picked, he has a great eye for photo opportunities and it didn't feel invasive at all when he asked us to branch out of what we had idealized.
He did not do any video work for us because it was not something we were looking for but I did see his other work and it looked great.
I cannot recommend Nick enough for your wedding I will be giving his information to anyone I meet who needs work done in the future.
Nick and his team made the videography process seamless for us. We planned our Sept 2020 wedding during COVID-19, and he was so responsive to meeting our needs, even as they changed over the course of months. Our situation was unique- we just needed a videographer to capture all of the wedding day's events, and then a separate family member of ours is planned to edit the footage. Nick was more than happy to customize a package for us. He was flexible in having an extra videographer manage our Zoom livestream (also a last minute decision), which all of our friends said was high quality. He even surprised us on the wedding day- he pulled us aside after the ceremony and invited us to share a few words to our loved ones on the livestream. We were so blessed by that! Nick was affordable, professional, and I (as the bride) barely noticed him capturing all the shots on the wedding day- as in, I wasn't worried or distracted by anything him and his team were doing, which I as so grateful for... they were just catching some great moments!
Would highly recommend Nick and his team.
We hired Nick as a videographer for our son's wedding ceremony in August. He was fabulous to work with and created a beautiful video. Nick was easy to work with, very accommodating and great at communicating with us before, during and after the wedding. We are thrilled with the video and my son and his new wife will cherish it for years to come.
Nick was the great photographer/videographer I could ask for. He helped from our engagement photos all the way to the reception. Best value for the package he offered us and we did a lot of shopping around until we decided on him. We’ll definitely be referring him to anyone we know.
