Amazing! Nile produced video for our Gala - an seriously epic party for weddings and event professionals by event professionals! He really did a five star job! He asked questions to understand what was important to us to capture. He engaged well with our other vendors and guests. He made sure we were happy with the end product and in addition he went over and beyond by creating social platform-friendly versions. Above all, he was so easy to work with, asked the questions so he can produce a product that supported our cause and was just all around awesome. Hire him!

Nile shot our wedding and we recommend him highly! He's thorough, professional, flexible and fun. Wrangling our guests was no joke, but Nile and his assistant had just the right touch of good humor and firm determination needed. The pictures are beautiful and we are thrilled with them. Not only that, he organized them for us.

Working with Nile was a dream! He was everything you would want in a videographer. He was everyone and not seen all at once! He was flexible when changes arose. His communication was wonderful! His pricing is great! And he makes everyone feel comfortable in front of a camera! I would give him the highest recommendation!

Nile at Mendocino Photo and Video is a true master of his craft. What sets him apart isn't just his exceptional videography skills (although he has that in spades!) - it's his thoughtful approach to the entire process, which, as we learned, starts long before a camera gets turned on. Before our celebration, he invested considerable time in understanding our vision and provided invaluable guidance on how to capture the best possible footage. This included meetings, timeline suggestions, and how we can make the most of his skills to capture the most optimal footage. He really took time to understand the vision we had for documenting our celebration. On the day of our event, Nile's calm and grounding presence was exactly what we needed. He has this remarkable ability to be everywhere while remaining unobtrusive, capturing authentic moments without disrupting their natural flow. His experience and ability to read the room allowed him to anticipate and capture meaningful moments that might have otherwise been missed. The final edited content tells our story beautifully - creating a chronicle of our celebration that we'll treasure and share for years to come. Of all the decisions we had to make planning our special day, working with Nile was one of the BEST ones. His professionalism, talent, and genuine care make him an absolute gift to work with!

Mendocino Photo and Video was such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. Nile took the time to get to know us as a couple, gave us great feedback along the way, and helped us come up with a game plan to capture our wedding where we could fully enjoy our day worry-free. We had so much going on at our wedding, and Nile was able to capture it all so beautifully and put together an incredible teaser and highlights video. He has an immense talent for cinematography and video editing and his work wonderfully brought out all the rich emotions during our wedding and told such a captivating story. Can't recommend enough!!!

Nile was wonderful to work with and took time to learn about my wife and I, our vision, and the importance of our ceremony/venue space to our family. We really appreciated that he took time to meet with us in person well ahead of the wedding, and we were impressed with the wide array of video footage/packages he offered. We felt he was invested from day one and really delivered a beautiful product for us. We will treasure our wedding video for always. Thank you, Nile and team!

Nile at Mendocino Photo and Video is an exceptional videographer, and we'd recommend him to anyone and everyone looking to capture their special day. We called on him only a month prior to getting married because we had some family who could no longer make it, and he made it so easy to work together, even with only 30 days to make it happen. He didn't skip any corners, he met with us to understand our needs and wants on the day, and to just learn more about us as a couple. He's got high EQ and that was huge for us.

On the day Nile and his team were absolute professionals in every sense. They struck a great balance between being everywhere to capture all the special moments, while not at all making it feel overbearing or too much. And then the edit they provided afterwards with all the footage is just the perfect keepsake for us to look back on for life. Thank you Nile and team!!!

One of the best vendors we booked for our wedding was Mendocino Photo and Video! We weren't sure if we were going to have a videographer at our wedding, but now it is the most cherished item we have taken away from the day. Nile made us feel so comfortable and relaxed on our wedding day, and the footage he shot was unbelievable. My husband and I are so thrilled with the ceremony footage and interviews with our family and friends. We are eternally grateful for the hard work from Nile and his team. Thank you, Mendocino Photo and Video! You made our day one we will remember for years to come.
