I contacted Colby about a speaking event I needed recorded for a promotional video. He quickly got all the details and requirements and sent me the contract. He recommended we arrive early at the event to set up the camera and check out the event's sound system, which was a great idea.
He did an excellent job recording the video and audio and even got some pictures of me speaking. Then he quickly sent the edited videos, which looked great. I highly recommend Colby. He's very skilled, experienced, and is an excellent communicator. It was a pleasure working with him. I'll contact Colby again for future video recording needs.

Our broker recently hired CB Photography & Videography to create a professional video highlighting Pacific National Lending, our team, and the services we provide. Colby did an outstanding job from start to finish.
He made the entire process easy, comfortable, and professional. He guided us through the filming process, provided great direction, and helped everyone feel at ease on camera. Most importantly, he captured our company culture and professionalism in a way that truly made us shine.
The final product exceeded our expectations and presented our team in a polished, engaging, and authentic way. As a Mortgage Loan Officer and Realtor with Pacific National Lending, I was extremely impressed with Colby's attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism throughout the project.
If you're looking for someone who can create high-quality video content and make the process seamless, I highly recommend CB Photography & Videography. Thank you, Colby, for helping us put our best foot forward!

I had set up a shoot with Colby for graduation photos. This was my first time getting professional photos taken so I was a bit nervous but Colby immediately made me feel comfortable, even going as far as to play music during the shoot to put my nerves at ease. The photos themselves were exactly what I had wanted if not better, Colby and his team truly demonstrated their professionalism and talent throughout the entire process. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, strongly recommend!

I came to Colby wanting to create a music video and some content for social media. I started out with just a very rough outline of some ideas and wasn't really sure of exactly what I wanted. Colby took the time to listen to the songs to get a feel for the right vibe and in the end his direction was right on the money. His studio is well equipped for any direction I wanted to take it and he even brought in some experts to help with the process. It was a fun experience and I am happy to have collaborated with him. Looking forward to the next project! Thanks for a job well done Colby!

Colby demonstrated a deep respect for our nonprofit organization's vision and budget. He took the time to understand our messaging, identifying the exact moments and interviews needed to tell our story effectively. The final video perfectly captured the energy, emotion, and community spirit of the day. The editing is crisp, the audio quality of the speeches is flawless, and the music selection complements the tone professionally. I have worked with Colby for several and established an amazing working relationship and team player.

Our team had a great experience with Colby at his studio for a recent recording. He took great care and was very professional, fully prepared, and a generally cool, fun person to hang out with our team for the day. He let us come by for a tour before we booked, and was super communicative throughout the process. Thanks for helping us record the Mind Out Loud event, Colby!
