I need a professional Design & Marketing provider to help me with my business. Based on the great…read morereview score, and their website, I thought Brick House Media was promising. When I called them, a young guy just answered, "Hello?" How unprofessional! First red flag. I told him I was impressed by their website, but the way he answered the phone was really unprofessional and sends up a red flag; but I'm willing to move past that and inquire about their services. That was his cue to express a modicum of humility and apologize, but no -he just asked how they could help, with a tone that clearly indicated he really didn't care. There was no life in his voice. When I began telling him what I'm interested in, he cut me off and said he's busy with a client. Wow! Obviously all that glitters isn't gold, as this is clearly NOT a professional business -one that would have someone answer calls when they're with a client, or simply not answer the phone, so they can stay focused on their client. Taking away from a client's time (and money) to answer calls is disrespectful and unprofessional. Seeing any further conversation would be wasted on him, I hung up.

DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY LESSONS THAT WON'T BREAK YOUR SPIRIT…read more "Motherfucker! I bought this expensive camera and I can't make it work worth shit. Sure it is OK in Monkey Mode--auto--but is this all there is?" That was me. Now my buyers remorse is gone thanks to Jared Brick. I bought a NIKON SLR he showed me how to use it. Let's face it, cameras are easy to use now but what you need to know to get good shots in various conditions have not changed. Jared will meet you anywhere and with the patience of a saint tell you how to use your toy. His ability to communicate concepts, and you need to know them, is very good. Does ISO, f stop, and aperture totally confuse you. It should. But Jared makes it simple... "Photography is all about light" "The Aperture mode is the artistry mode" "The ISO is like a dimmer" Golden. Unlike other teachers he LIKES teaching and never is condescending. With tons of Flickr'rs running around with expensive toys like me this guy is the missing piece. Pretty down to earth, willing to drop an f-bomb if necessary. Extra credit there...

My criteria for a video team were: High production value. Check Reasonable rates. Check Quck turnaround. Check Professionalism. Check What truly impressed me with CLAi, however, was the effort they put forth in truly understanding our business needs and the message we were trying to convey. There is a long road to travel between conceptualizing a project and receiving a finished product. I was amazed at how much of that distance Chris and his team were able to adroitly help us navigate. I've since used CLAi for video projects and would absolutely hire them again. This is a terrific team that can produce astounding work. Highly recommended.

We are very happy with the service we received from Andy photography. We had a Vietnamese wedding…read morein San Jose and Andy Sandy was our wedding photographer & makeup artist. Sandy is his wife. They are a great team. We also enjoy our family children portrait session from him also. We had meet some photographer in the past but it was Andy's personalities , detail oriented, quality work that won him to be our wedding photographer. We felt ease and comfortable with him from the time we first met. He took his time with us and didn't push us to do anything that we didn't want or feel comfortable. Sandy's makeup was beautiful. She did 2 hair style and makeup for me. In the morning we had a traditional tea vietnamese wedding so my hair was up with Ao Dai .

Andy is one of the most professional, pleasant, and reasonably-priced photographers in the Bay Area. His pricing is transparent: we agreed upfront, no hidden cost, and most importantly, he did not use our last minute request to jack up the price like some others, which I was very thankful for (Yes, I received a quote 10X what we paid Andy). Andy called to discuss to make sure all details were covered. He not only arrived on time, but was the FIRST one to arrive at the ceremony! His pictures were amazing. We had taken the pictures in the synagogue before and none came out as sharp and clear as Andy's. He even driven down to the party (in another location) to take a few extra shots after the ceremony for us. I have lived in the city long enough and know the cost of living here. If you ever need a great photographer to work some magic without paying for a king's ransom or being ripped off, I would highly recommend Andy.

We've now hosted our annual Young Adults with Epilepsy Making Waves Gala at Wave Street Studios…read moretwice, and I can honestly say it is one of Monterey's hidden gems. From the moment you begin planning until the last guest leaves the dance floor, Rhett and his family are incredibly hands-on, responsive, and genuinely invested in making your event a success. It's truly a family affair, with Rhett, his wife, son, and daughter all pitching in to make everything feel seamless. One of the things that sets Wave Street Studios apart is how effortlessly the space transforms throughout the evening. Our guests enjoyed dinner, then the room transitioned beautifully into a lively dance floor without missing a beat. The lighting, technology, and overall atmosphere create a magical experience that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. Rhett also coordinated seamlessly with one of their preferred catering partners, Fire on Wheels Pizza, who not only served fantastic food but even created a custom signature mocktail just for our event. It was such a thoughtful touch that our guests loved. Hosting a nonprofit gala requires countless moving pieces, and having a venue partner who anticipates needs, solves problems before they arise, and truly cares is invaluable. Wave Street Studios does exactly that. Add in the tremendous value for everything that's included, and it's hard to imagine a better event venue on the Monterey Peninsula. What we especially love is that it doesn't feel like another generic hotel ballroom. The space has personality, warmth, and a sense of place that made our guests feel like they were part of something truly special. It created an experience--not just an event. If you're looking for a unique venue for a fundraiser, wedding, corporate event, or celebration, I can't recommend Wave Street Studios highly enough. We look forward to coming back again.
