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...

I use the media on my business website and social media platforms. She's very versatile and awesome at what she does. She really listens to what kind of style and look I'm going for each time; whether the subject be a person, food or a product and asks what my end result expectations are. It's amazing what all those little things can do to help get the image or video I was looking for! I'm always happy with the results and If I ever have a slight suggestion, she's happy to make the modification so that I'm fully satisfied! Not only does she take photos and video but I also have hired her to upload & save photos on a hard drive! Which was so convenient because I was able to just order the hard drive from her, she even included a personalized wooden, one of a kind box that magnetizes so it prevents the hard drive from becoming damaged.

She took some beautiful photos of my husband and I. The second occasion I had used her for a family photo shoot of my husband's family which was shot onsite at Pajaro Dunes. The beach scenes and the lighting was gorgeous. The third time was an improptu session. My children were in town on vacation and I had messaged Jaime to see if she was available for a family shoot in The Forest of Nisene Marks. I received a response the same day with dates she was available and connected the following week for my family portraits. She is easy to work with and flexible. She is able to give direction and advice on clothing color choices/poses. She is also open to any suggestions you may have for content. Once photos were taken, I received sneak peeks via email next day and a whole gallery of photos within a couple of weeks. Her professionalism, availability, and flexibility is impeccable. Her edited photos are consistently stellar! Her prices for the product received are a great value. In my opinion she is amazing! I definitely h recommend.

Every piece of the video has the natural lighting we were looking for. We can't help but keep smiling as we re-live the beautiful day. From very first booking our Nestldown wedding in 2019, to looking through multiple videographer's styles, to choosing Grover Films, to postponing our wedding from 2021 to 2023, to all the emails back & forth, to the phone calls to make sure we have everything we need, to finally meeting in person & loving every minute of working with this couple.... they have been so professional, kind, & understanding through this entire journey. My husband & I truly appreciate their time & letting us move our May 2021 wedding to May 2023 because the Pandemic. Each of the precious moments they've captured at Nestldown will be cherished by so many people for all the years to come. It's amazing we got to work with them- they knew all the great spots- including the lighting! So easy to work with & let us know exactly what to do so we could get multiple shots to choose from later. You helped us throughout the whole process- giving us options, showing us where to go for the lighting & different backgrounds, having us be ourselves & get candid shots. From getting ready in the Guest House, to the First Look with my Dad & then my husband, to the ceremony site, to the Cocktail Hour, to the Reception, to the special dances & cake cutting, to the Grand Exit....our amazing wedding video reflects on how great of videographers they are. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would. We value your photogenic eye in helping us capture so many special moments of our big day! You captured the essence of our love for each other & for the outdoors all in a single day. And we look forward to working with you again! Thank you so much. With love, The Goldsmiths
