I hired him as my videographer for my farewell party, and I couldn't have been happier with his work. He arrived early, was well-prepared, and took the time to set up his equipment before the event began. The final product was excellent and truly captured the special moments of the celebration. He was professional, responsible, and dependable throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him for any event!

Jon was awesome! Highly recommend! I needed someone to film a lecture I was doing. He responded quickly, and was available throughout the entire process. In the beginning, he talked me through the process, so there were no surprises the day of. He showed up an hour earlier than our start time to ensure everything was set. He made sure all I had to worry about was my performance, and he took care of the rest. Because his pricing is such a great value, I was wondering where the catch was. But after seeing his work online and then working with him firsthand, I realize, there is no catch! Jon is just a kind, humble, hardworking expert who overdelivers on ever aspect of the filming process.

Jon Ying is a consummate professional from start to finish. The video tribute to our beloved Mother captured her essence, beauty and love of family. We received wonderful compliments from family and friends. I've already referred friends & family to Jon. Excellent service! Thank you for honoring our Mother and allowing us to take part in the amazing tribute. While the loss is painful, you understood perfectly and were kind throughout the entire process.
