Working with Mario was amazing, to say the least. I had MANY issues arise including rescheduling (multiple times), delay in response, and payment delay. (All from my end). Even with these frustrating occurrences, Mario maintained a friendly professional conversation and was more than accommodating to all of my last-minute needs. Photos were of perfect quality. More...

I enjoyed working with Mario. He was very personable, professional and very capable with his high end drone. I asked Mario to shoot both still photographs and 4K video footage.
All of which came out beautiful.
In addition to the high quality service, Mario's pricing was very reasonable and I would definitely use his service again, as well as recommend him to others needing either drone photography or video.
