The magic mirror photo booth was a huge hit at our event. Lydia and Craig were a total delight to work with start to finish - professional, experienced, knowledgeable and very customer-oriented. I can't recommend them highly enough!

I needed to livestream a memorial gathering for my Dad, so that family that couldn't travel could at least view it, either live or later. I was so lucky to find Lydia and Craig. They were very responsive, worked well with the staff at the location where the gathering was held. On the day of the event, they were able to set up in just the right spots to capture the gathering of friends and family, and the livestream worked perfectly. Very professional. They caught all the important bits, and did a good job capturing everything in between too. I am very happy with them.

I have been working with Lydia and Craig for over 10 years as they have recorded dozens of plays I have produced. Their professionalism is second to none and they are so easy to work with. They also did a photo session with my daughter and the photos were gorgeous! I highly recommend them to capture your most important memories!

Lydia was amazing to work with. She created a memory video for me and she put a lot of thought and effort into making it. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and did a beautiful job. She is personable and made sure the final product was exactly what I wanted. I would highly recommend her and I will be going back to her in the future.

I have always loved working with Lydia for our theater organization's filming needs. Cinematic Images has been our videography organization of choice for the past 5 years and they are always more than flexible, timely, and are consummate professionals. We love Cinematic Images!

Cinematic Images has been recording our high school musicals for many years and we have always been happy with their work. Flexible on scheduling and a quick turnaround for the recordings. There have been times when we contacted them with very little notice and they always accommodate us so that our families can have a recording of the shows. The affordable prices gives us the opportunity to use the recordings as a small fundraiser too. I would highly recommend their services.
