If I could give Action Jackson 10/10 stars I would because 5 just does not do it justice. We hired Jackson to do our videography for our wedding in Charleston, SC. I was nervous when we hired a separate photographer vendor that the day may not run as smoothly, but he worked with the photographer FLAWLESSLY. I appreciated him making us take a double take on some videos just to ensure we got the footage! He was actually early to the venue so by the time he was contracted to start he was ready for us, rather than needing to park and get set up. So many people complimented him on his vibe and professionalism. The photographers even wanted to work with him on future events. I would absolutely hire him again!

I hired Jackson to be the photographer for my engagement. He was awesome from start to finish! He had great creativity for his action shots and still allowed my fiancé and I to request some of our own shots. He was professional, punctual and super easy to work with. Definitely recommend!

Jackson was well worth the price, he followed directions for my specifics and delivered. For anyone looking for a videographer he is the guy! Can’t wait to work with Jackson in the future.
