Rick is great and very easy to work with! He went above and beyond to create amazing footage without you even knowing he is really there. His ability to tell our wedding story and bring to life our day through his videos is something that will be cherished for the rest of our lives. He is able to highlight the most important moments and capture the little details that you don’t always see when you are living in the moment throughout the day. Rick was timely, communicated well, and produced films that are very high quality. He is passionate about what he does and it shows in your finished product.
