Curt E. says, "We recently hired Beige Video & Photo to capture our wedding reception, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. From the very beginning, they were professional, responsive, and genuinely excited about telling our story. On the day of the reception, their videographer blended seamlessly into the festivities—never disruptive, yet always in the right place at the right time. When we finally watched the video, it felt as though we were right back in that room reliving the joy all over again. The editing was nothing short of exceptional. We appreciated how quickly they delivered the final video! If you’re looking for a wedding videographer who truly cares about capturing the essence of your special day, look no further than Beige Video & Photo."See more

Sterling J. F. says, "Wow! Service still exists in this world. So many "photographers" today carry a Canon camera, MacBook Pro and a huge EGO! They think they know what they're doing but, they lack experience and their ego takes up the whole studio. The job ultimately becomes about them. This is just not the case with John. John delivered more than I could have asked for in a professional, efficient, sensible way. His down to earth attitude and sincere excitement made everyone on set comfortable. He was on time and under budget. He came up with some interesting concepts that I would have never thought of because he relied on his many years of experience and talent. No BS. We got the shot and many other useful images. Plus he made it fun. He won't waste your time or money. He is now my go to photographer, one less element for me to worry about when I'm trying to please my client and get my job done. You won't regret it."See more

Our guests really enjoyed the experience and the photos are terrific! I look forward to having Swat part of our next event - he will forever be our preferred photographer for ANY event! Thank you Swat!!!"See more

Julia A. says, "I can’t say enough about Jordan‘s professionalism, fun and helpful demeanor, excellent ideas, creative eye and talent. He recently took candid and portrait photos at my mother’s 90th birthday celebration and the entire family enjoyed working with him and loved the photos. Jordan came early to set up, agreed to stay over an hour longer, and had the photos available to view in only a few days. The client is able to download and print the photos on their own, or use Jordan‘s professional services offered at a reasonable price. I am not easily impressed, and can’t think of anything Jordan could have done better. I highly recommend him and would hire him again in a heartbeat."See more
