Matt was great to work with - quick to respond and executed our vision perfectly. Our non-profit needed a promotional video, using an aerial drone and we are very pleased with the final product. He provided a timeline and updates as the project moved forward. I would highly recommend his services and happy to work with him again.

Matt is hardworking, creative, and professional. His passion shines through in the care and attention he puts into his work. Matt has provided videography and photography services for me on numerous occasions. He is fun, talented, and a pleasure to work with. On each occasion, he listened to what I was looking for and executed perfectly!
