Joel was great to work with. He was very communicative during our planning, and he helped wherever he could on our shoot date. Would definitely work with him again if I’m in San Francisco.

Joel was great to work with! Highly professional, self-sufficient, reliable, and a pleasure to work with. Excited to work with Joel again next time I'm on the west coast.
