Alex you are so awesome. After loosing our wedding video over 9 years ago. You where so nice when I…read morecalled to ask if you could make us a copy of our wedding video. I am not going to lie but I was kind of scared that you might not have it. But 2 days later you called me and told me the good news you found it. I was so excited that I was jumping up and down. I recived the video today and I played it for our two children and I started crying it took me back to that special day that I married my best friend. Once again Ivan and I want to thank you so much and continue doing such a wonderful job.

Alex, Juan and I cannot thank you enough for the beautiful wedding video you created for us. Thank…read moreyou from the bottom of our hearts for this work of art that so beautifully captures our own joy and love, and the joy and love of our guests. This video is more than we could have ever dreamed of. Thank you so much for going so above and beyond what we requested, in every way. Also, thank you to your wife for filming too! The footage is gorgeous, the sound is so clear, and the way you captured the whole event makes it incredibly special for us watching it back now. That you included things such as my elderly grandparents entering, Juan saying "you're beautiful" at the conclusion of the ceremony, the family interviews towards the end, and the shots of us walking and kissing at the end is so wonderful. And the ceremony itself is perfect! What our officiant said at our ceremony was exactly what was said at my parents' wedding (which we have an old video of as well), so for us to have this video forever to share with our children someday means a lot to us.

Still 2 months later I have not received my $600 refund for a service that was never followed through with or even started. On top of all that I have gave many chances to him to pay me back and after each excuse just comes more Bullshit. Now he has blocked me on Facebook as well as a friend that I had try to contact him. Well I guess I'll see you in court. Way to stay professional!! Thought I could trust a guy with his own "Business". I would give this shit a 0 if I could.

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.

Mike Buffo was a videographer for my fitness testimonial end of 2020, in Monterey, CA. I felt very…read morecomfortable following the few directions Mike led me through to begin. I felt relaxed & confident in front of the screen. What made it so much easier, even though I memorized the script, was having the teleprompter right there within the face of the camera (IPad) so all I had to do was read the script & it looked as if I was looking directly into the camera. Mike operated the camera & interviewed me at the same time, which went smoothly in one take, but we did 2 just as backup. We shot at the golden hour, around 3pm, which made the video/ photos turn out stunning! He also took shots of me posing in workout stances to assist the verbal testimonial. I love the results of both the video & photographs! Overall, Mike Buffo was personable & professional & I would definitely recommend him as your next videographer! Thank you!! Yvonne Foletta :)

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...

Paul was able to walk us through the entire plan and asked very pointed and specific questions to help him form the picture of what we were trying to accomplish with our videos. He was extremely patient with us and overall a delight to work with. The end result was absolutely amazing. It was better than we even thought it would be. Our business has seen great growth and many clients reference how nice it is to see us (via video on our website) to get a sense of who we are before they come into the office. As a small business owner, I truly value people who have internal drive to do their best work. Sometimes this is hard to come by. Paul was the epitome of a quality individual who produces exceptionally high quality work. I recommend him with the utmost confidence.
