I would also like to give major props to Patrick, who was happy to be super collaborative about the editing process and let me come sit in while he put most of it together (our team is very opinionated). I was also stunned at the amount of usable footage (interviews & b-roll) we were able to collect in two days - we have nearly 10 hours of it. We will definitely be back for second cuts to the same footage and for future projects.

They were reliable, professional, and most importantly dedicated to finding creative solutions that exceeded our expectations. The team kept everything flowing smoothly in order to meet our extremely tight deadlines, and we ended up with some meaningful products that our organization will continue to use down the road. It's been a pleasure working with DMV Productions and we look forward to our next project together!

If you are on the fence about whether spending more for higher quality photo and video is worth it, this is the voice telling you that it is -- at least when it comes to having Mari and George capture your events. Mari was a dream to work with. She matched our vibes perfectly, making us feel comfortable and beautiful, so our genuine joy radiates through the photos. And George is exceptionally skilled at cinematography. He captured both the high-energy moments and the sweet intimate moments with equal finesse, and put it all together in a way that transports us back to those incredible days. We cannot emphasize enough how amazing their photos and videos are and how much we recommend their team.

Cannot recommend them strongly enough!

Serena captured the day beautifully, taking stunning photos in the morning and transitioning seamlessly into videography for the rest of the event. Her professionalism, creativity, and eye for detail were evident in every shot. The final images were absolutely spectacular, and the video footage was equally impressive. She even went the extra mile by creating a social media reel for us, which turned out beautifully and captured the spirit of the day perfectly. Serena is truly wonderful to work with--easygoing, communicative, and incredibly talented. I highly recommend Creative Ideation to anyone looking for top-tier photography and video work.

If you're looking to work with a videographer who can turn your idea into a vision and then some,…read moreno need to look any further - you found him. As a creative content administrator for a brand marketing consultant agency, I have worked with my fair share of videographers, photographers, directors. None of them, however, were able to capture the idea I created in my head. Although the content produced by former companies is high quality, the end result was never what I had imagined. To be clear, the videos were amazing and unique in their own way, but I always felt it was ALMOST there or it was MISSING something. Then I was introduced to Shawn - via conference call - and my love affair with Innovideo Productions began. The best word I can use to describe the quality and execution of Shawn's work ethic and style... PHENOMENAL. Behind the camera, he is nothing but innovative. His organic sense of creative direction is incredible and his attention to detail is immaculate! The visions that I had dreamed and created while creating the content were immediately erased from my mind after reviewing a "rough cut/edit" of Shawn's work and I didn't think it could get any better...but it did. Upon seeing the final version for the first project I worked on with Shawn, words cannot even begin to describe how taken aback I was. He did an unbelievably amazing job. I can't imagine working with anyone else. Helpful, reliable, communicative and patient, Shawn is one of the most skilled people I've ever worked with. Reasonably priced and quick on the turn around times, Shawn's personable professionalism is what makes him and his brand unique. Not only does he come highly recommended and prepared, he transforms your projects into something so much more than you could've ever imagined.

The quality of his work far surpasses any other videographer I have worked with. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Having worked with a couple different videographers in the past, I know that turn around time for the work, quality of the work and user-friendliness is a BIG deal. So to have a company who hits all those and doesn't charge crazy exorbitant prices is a godsend. We will use Innovideo forever, and recommend them wholeheartedly!

We've used Jim and his team for years, for both videography and photography. He has shot videos and…read morepictures for our marketing team, which we use on our website, in all our promotional materials, and on social media. His team also shoots video and pictures of all of our conferences. He is the only production company we trust with our brand image. We also use Jim and his team on behalf of our clients. He has shot countless videos in his greenscreen studio and on-location for our professional clients (mainly attorneys and doctors). Jim is skilled at putting our clients at ease and helping even the most camera-shy create impressive videos. Gearshift has also helped some of our clients create remarkable voiceover videos using well-chosen imagery and music. Once he turned around a video for a hot legal case in just a few hours, using the attorney's recorded voice and images he selected himself to tell a compelling story (I got the final video from him around 11pm that night after having given him the voice file only a few hours before--this man is dedicated!) He also works with some of the best spokesmodels in the business, and can create scripted spokesmodel videos to impress even the most discerning tastes. Having used pretty much all of Gearshift's services first-hand, I can say with confidence that when you work with Gearshift you not only get a high-quality product, you also get a great team and the unflappable and always entertaining Jim.

The session ended up being one of the most fun and pleasant experience in my life. I would definitely work with him again in the future!!!

Jae was one of the photographers who reached out and ultimately the one I ended up going with. Looking back, it was absolutely the right choice! He was incredibly helpful in planning out the proposal and choosing the best location for our photos. He answered all of my questions and was easy to get in touch with both before and on the night of the proposal, keeping me updated and making sure everything was ready before the big moment. The photos turned out perfect! Even today, they stand out as some of our favorite pictures. Fast forward 10 years later - I had an idea to get a kind of "follow up" set with our daughter for our 10th anniversary. I reached out to see if Jae was still in the area and if he'd have some availability to do these for us. He got back to me fast and we ended up planning everything out, starting right back where the proposal happened. This time was just as great! Jae was fantastic with our daughter and really helped bring out her smile. He was great posing us and knew exactly how to work each location we walked to. The photos (again) turned out fantastic! Being able to look back at both sets side by side, a decade later, is like opening a time capsule - it's just so cool!

We were planning our wedding during the pandemic and things were constantly uncertain as to whether or not the wedding would be able go to on. Iman and DJ Kia had routine calls with us to check-in and offer advice. We knew we could trust their opinions and flexility during the uncertain times. On the day of the wedding, DJ Kia was so involved with every aspect of the ceremony and reception. He knew exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to make our wedding day an unforgettable experience. He literally orchestrated our ceremony processional and was making sure everything was running smoothly. Everyone felt at ease walking down the aisle because DJ Kia was there to send them off. We were lucky enough to have Iman MC our wedding, and believe us when we tell you he knows how to put on a show. The dance floor comes alive with Iman on stage and everyone was out of their seats and dancing the entire night. Our cocktail hour ended up going over schedule, which pushed back our reception. It was no worry though, because Iman was there to quickly restructure the timeline and ensure everything ran smoothly. Even with unexpected issues, we felt completely at ease knowing he had us covered. He is such a genuine person who truly cares about his client's happiness. We also used Night Owls for our video production and working with them was a truly pleasant experience. They captured every aspect of the wedding beautifully. In just a few short weeks, we had our trailer and wedding video created, both of which were edited to our liking. They were extremely patient with us throughout the process and the end result is videos we still can't stop watching! Thank you to Brandon and the team at Night Owls for all of their hard work. We also want to give a special thanks to Wake on the sax, Farzan on the drums, and Cyrus on the cello. These three gentleman made the music come alive and our guests could not stop raving about how talented they were. My wife and I still talk about just how great it was working with Exclusively Entertainment and we would absolutely recommend them for your events!
