We couldn’t be happier with Summit Hill Studios! From start to finish they made the process EASY. The intake call with Dan was incredible. We had a very unique situation (one intimate wedding day and one big wedding day) and he assured me they could customize a package for us. We were assigned Kelly for our videographer and she was a literal saint and joy to work with. Not only did she do an incredible job filming, she was SO helpful to me, the bridal party and the photographers. We got our FULL videos back + a highlight reel and they just absolutely crushed everything. Don’t look further, book them!!!!

Dan & the team at Summit Hill Studios were excellent to work with for our wedding this fall! They delivered the full footage to us SUPER quickly which was nice to relive the day while we were still on the wedding high :) We also couldn’t be happier with the highlight film! They let us pick a song that was meaningful to us and the video perfectly captures our day. Can’t wait to reminisce watching it for years to come! Highly recommend working with Summit Hill Studios!

Summit Hill was an INCREDIBLE vendor for our wedding last year. We told them what we envisioned for first looks, speeches, and the other details of our big day and they worked hand in hand with our photographer to make sure everything was perfect. The highlight video makes me cry every time I watch it and the overall video captures all of the best moments from the day. I have and will continue to recommend them to my friends and family who have weddings coming up!

We struck gold when we booked Summit Hill Studios to photograph our wedding. I had been in a few bridal parties in the past couple years and those brides should have booked Summit Hill - they had gone with less reputable photogs and were disappointed, but not us! We are thankful for choosing a professional, reliable company for our big day and have no regrets. Worth every penny-in fact, with how beautiful our images turned out, we are convinced we got a steal of a deal. We will be cherishing these photos forever. We also have extremely positive memories of our time with Jasmine (photographer) on our wedding day.
Jasmine was truly in her element on our big day. She wanted to capture EVERYTHING and she sure did. She got every image on my shotlist, plus way more - her innovation, artful eye and quick work allowed her to capture hundreds of captivating photos we can’t wait to stare at as we grow old together.
Zero regrets about choosing Summit Hill. Would make the same decision over and over again, and if we ever have another event that calls for professional photography we will be contacting Dan (owner) who was also insanely positive and professional.
Choose Summit! Best vendor decision you’ll make.

We had the best experience with Dan as our wedding day videographer. His energy day of was great! He made me and my husband feel very comfortable and we didn’t even notice his camera in our face, which was my husband’s concern. We love watching our highlight and wedding day film to be able to relived our day!

Dan was such a pleasure to work with, and was so wonderful at going with the flow when some timeline changes occurred last minute. We chose Summit Hill for our videographer because the examples of his work proved themselves! He is great at what he does! Dan made us smile so much by posting a short clip of our day less than 24 hours later on Instagram, as well. It was so sweet and unexpected! We highly recommend this company!!

What drew me the most to Summit Hills was how relaxed Matt was with what I was requesting... My husband and I are not sentimental by nature, but we knew we'd like photos of our family primarily; and of course us. He totally conveyed that message because our photographer Kelly was fantastic, she really did understand what we were asking for and was so helpful during the getting ready process.. and when we were taking photos, I loved how excited she would get about getting certain lighting and looks. Their team, as well, were really communicative and flexible and so easy to work with.

I truly cannot say enough positive things about Dan and his team at Summit Hill Studios. We had Dan as our videographer for our wedding and he was absolutely incredible to work with. Communication with the team was always easy and they were so positive and enthusiastic about our special day. The video footage is everything I could’ve hoped for and more. The only regret I have is that we didn’t have Dan for more than eight hours. I sobbed the entire time I watched my wedding footage because it was so perfectly captured. I will forever cherish the video they created of our wedding day! I would recommend Summit Hill Studios to anyone and everyone I know. If you want high quality and professionalism look no further!

Dan and his entire team were such a pleasure to work with. From the beginning planning phase to the day of, they were prompt, organized and professional. Dan was so easy going and made us feel incredibly comfortable during wedding day filming. We loved our final videos & we’re so impressed with the highlight instagram video that came out less than 24 hours after our event. Was the perfect way to encapsulate our day and share with others. Cannot recommend him & the Summit Hill team enough!

Summit Hill did such a fantastic job with the videography at our wedding. Dan was our videographer that day and he is so chill and fits in naturally to any occasion to ensure the vibes stay high and fun.
We loved. How well the product turned out and the organization it was delivered with was very appreciated.
This squad is willing to go above and beyond for you! We were on the fence about videography and working with this team to get things right was so appreciated and we are so so happy we did go with a videographer

We couldn't be happier! From start to finish, Kelly, Chris, Jenessa, and Holly were incredible. Kelly, in particular, was amazing—she felt more like a good friend than just a photographer, making us feel relaxed and genuinely cared for throughout the day.
The communication was top-notch, with clear and timely updates that kept us at ease. The editing style of the photos is timeless, and we were pleasantly surprised by how quickly our gallery was delivered!
Thank you to the entire team for making our special day so memorable and for the fantastic photos we’ll cherish forever!

We were incredibly happy hiring Summit Hill for our wedding! Dan is truly a natural! He makes everyone he talks to feel comfortable and immediately have them laughing. He worked so well with our wedding party and was there to capture every important moment. He has tips and tricks to make the videography feel natural and not staged. At no point did we feel like we were on camera and it made everything less stressful.
The communication throughout the entire planning process from the team was excellent! They are easy going and always there to answer questions.
We would highly recommend Summit Hill Studios for your wedding!

No need to think twice about booking Summit Hill Studios for your wedding video & photography needs... DO IT! ❤️ Dan & team were extremely communicative right from the start and I truly got excited whenever I had the opportunity to hop on a call with them to chat more about our wedding. Not only did they make me feel confident in their ability to capture the day, but Dan and Andy went above and beyond by actually helping me finalize the schedule for the day! My husband and I had so much fun with them during our wedding day and were genuinely sad when it was time for them to leave! They made us & our family and friends feel extremely comfortable and the final video and photos were stunning. Thank you Summit Hill Studios for everything. You were truly a special part of our beautiful day!

Dan was incredible to work with for capturing our wedding! We were so thankful for him to be a part of it to memorialize our special day! Wedding days go by so quickly and having a piece of it to watch back means we can relive it, everyday! Thank you so much, Dan!

Our biggest priority for our wedding (besides getting married!) was hiring the perfect photographer that fit our mood, style and personality. Summit Hill Studios was all that and so much more than we had hoped for! They were such a huge part of our day for our pictures and our wedding video. We are so thankful that we found them!

We couldn't be any happier with our wedding photos! I'm super uncomfortable in front of the camera and they made us feel like we were just hanging out with a friend taking photos all day. They were super fun to work with but professional at the same time. We got our photos back so fast too!! Would recommend Summit Hill to anyone!

Dan Riggs was truly an amazing professional! He filmed our wedding film and highlights reel and it is a masterpiece. Some people just have talent, flair, and charm and this wonderful person has it all. I could not recommend it enough... plus he came out to France to film our wedding. It's simple: if you want the best quality wedding video, from a fun and very professional vendor who can make you feel like the superstar of your big day, go for it, book him! Thank you Dan, we're so happy with the end result and also honored to have met you.

Dan truly goes above and beyond. My wife and I first met in a treehouse as kids, and Dan went out of his way to ask a homeowner next to the church that our wedding was at if we could take pictures/videos in their treehouse. It ended with some of the most iconic shots of the day. He is so fun to work with; a creative, positive energy while I was nervous on my big day. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the work Dan did. I've already watched my highlight reel about 100 times. Book Summit Hill now!

Dan Riggs and Summit Hill Studios did the video for our daughter’s wedding. It was perfect.
My daughter and her husband met in a tree house. Dan saw a tree house across the street from the church and got permission from the owners to shoot video and photos there. No one else does this!!
Summit Hill Studios went way above and way beyond to help make this day so memorable and beautiful.
Hire them! They’re amazing!!
