Nile is a professional to beat out all professionals. He’s so creative, patient, respectful, creates excellent quality deliverables, and genuinely appreciates being a part of whatever moment he is included in. He respects you as a client but more importantly wants to ensure he captures the essence of what’s going on around you according to your needs. He doesn’t push HIS creative vision on you - which is what a lot of people in his industry are guilty of. He created beautiful videos of our wedding and jumped right into all the craziness seamlessly. I told my husband he needs to marry me every year. When this cadence starts, I’ll be inviting Nile to come capture the moment(s) 🤣🤗👍🏻👰‍♀️🤵‍♂️ Without a doubt I’d recommend him to anyone looking for someone to capture some of the most important moments in their life. He will NOT let you down!!!! ♥️The Stevens

Mendocino Photo & Video was such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. Nile took the time to get to know us as a couple, gave us great feedback along the way, and helped us come up with a game plan to capture our wedding where we could fully enjoy our day worry-free. We had so much going on at our wedding, and Nile was able to capture it all so beautifully and put together an incredible teaser and highlights video. He has an immense talent for cinematography and video editing and his work wonderfully brought out all the rich emotions during our wedding and told such a captivating story. Can't recommend enough!!!
