Dwight did an amazing job for our unique corporate reunion event. He was so professional yet so easy to work with, as I was planning the event from out of state. Would definitely recommend to anyone that needs a good, quality video! Thanks Dwight!

We felt very lucky to have found Dwight to video our daughter’s play. He went above and beyond with the video he created for us, even adding a title, music, and photos at the end. He could have just left the video camera on the tripod to record and sat behind it, which was what we expected, but he used the time during the play to capture photos as well. We were very satisfied with the quality of his work, timing of completion, communication, value, and professionalism. We highly recommend Dwight and will definitely hire him again in the future! Thank you, Dwight, we really appreciate the work you did for us!!
Details: Concert / performance • 21 - 50 guests • Indoors • Raw footage • DVD / USB copies

Excellence! Patience! Kindness! OMG my little ones specifically the 18month old was in a fit almost the whole time and he was so kind to her and worked through her cranky attitude and got amazing photos I don't know how he did it! I didn't even know he was taking photos at some points so we had some natural in the moment photos as well as portrait! He is great with kids and captured me and my husband beautifully as well. It looked magical in the pictures we seemed to glow and fitt so well in the surrounding, he really knows how to capture the angles and the best positions in any space we choose. As well the environment we choose was a greenhouse so it was hot and humid and he never mentioned it and just seemed happy to be there with us taking our photos. I never felt rushed or pressured to stop asking for photos. Rather he really enjoys his jobs, you can tell because even after the shoot was done he saw something and got an idea for another photo. It came to a natural end with me feeling so complete with our family shoot I couldn't ask for more! And I am such a particular type of person to I'm never quite sure. But Dwight was such a definite keep the card, number, whatever because we will be using him for our next family shoot. As well we got the photos back the same day, he works fast as well trying to get the most shots as he can while never compromising the photos he carried all his supplies everywhere he really cares about the quality he produces. We appreciate his working for us soo much! Thanks Dwight, we will cherish these photos forever and have them the rest of our lives to enjoy and remember!! The Collins
