(some more notes from clients)
"From the bottom of my heart I want to thank you for creating something beyond special for Sarah’s bat mitzvah. The word montage sounds so inappropriate for what you made us. We have to find you a new word. This family archive was beautiful, and fun and so personal. I think I’ve watched it a million times, and I never get tired of it. Somehow you managed to find the right balance of everything and created 20 minutes of pure amazing. I recognize how you truly went above and beyond for us." - Joana B.

"Thank you for giving us such a wonderful engagement video. We played the video at the rehearsal dinner, the wedding the next day, and later on at the second reception we had here in California. Along the way we received one compliment after another about the beautiful and touching video that told our story in such a creative and thoughtful way. What you created for us was more than we could have imagined. We approached you not really knowing what we wanted to do. And you took all of the little details of our story and weaved a beautiful tapestry out of it using words and images. You truly have a gift for seeing the whole picture and telling a story through audio and visual media. Thank you for adding such a unique and poignant piece that instantly became an integral part of our wedding. Your video was a wonderful reminder to us that God is truly in the details. Blessings to you - Steve and Jerri

"Dear David: On behalf of the Lovsteen family, I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for an amazing job on our montage. As you know our daughter Laney recently had her Bat Mitzvah and it was a huge event. It could not have been a more perfect day and the montage you put together for all our friends and family to see may have been the highlight! It's as if you knew our family as your own. The songs you picked and the arrangements were perfect. You have definitely found your calling. Thank you truly once again for a most memorable milestone. We will be happy to recommend you and use you again, very truly, Steven Lovsteen." - Huntington Beach
"We were two weeks away from celebrating our daughters bat mitzvah and called David to see if he could help us. He came to meet with us the same day and was so professional. We were a little stressed out because we didn't have much time. David was so patient with us and helped design a beautiful montage that was all about our family and really listened to what we wanted. When both families finally sat down to watch the montage, we were crying, laughing and most of all so impressed with what he was able to come up with. It was more than we ever expected it to be! David was such a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend him. We hope to continue using his services in the future. David, thank you for helping us make our daughter's Bat Mitzvah so memorable!" - Elyzabeth Martinez
After Laney and Lexie first saw their montage, they sent us this text message:
"You are amazing!!!! We can't tell u enough how happy we ALL are!!! Thank u sooo much!!!!"

Many of my friends at the Bar Mitzvah commented to me that it was the best montage they had ever seen. It was a pleasure working with you. Thanks for sending the copies out so quickly. Sincerely, Cheryl Tigner and Igor Spigelman" - Los Angeles

"The montage was a HUGE success! Everyone commented on how unique it was and so many people could not believe Jake did not know about Morgan’s part – very well staged! We can't thank you enough. It really started off the portion of the evening just before Jake's set on the guitar beautifully. I think Jake is going to become a legend as a result of the night!"
