"We had the absolute pleasure of working with Colby Barrett and his team from CB Photography & Videography for one of our TEDx talks in Roseville, and the experience was nothing short of outstanding.
I found Colby online while searching for a videographer and photographer, and from the very first message he was both professional and deeply committed to delivering exactly what we had discussed on our initial phone call. He also offered a very competitive price, which made the decision even easier.
Colby went above and beyond from the very beginning. He arrived a week before the event for rehearsal, fully equipped, and spent significant time scouting the theater. He carefully identified the best five locations to set up his equipment, ensuring every angle and moment would be captured perfectly. This level of preparation immediately showed his professionalism and dedication.
On the event day, Colby and his crew arrived right on time, bringing both expertise and warmth. He worked directly with my kids to set everything up, making them feel comfortable and supported. Once the talks began, Colby’s ability to multitask was remarkable - he seamlessly managed all his video equipment while simultaneously capturing an incredible collection of professional-quality photos. His eye for detail and timing was spot-on, and the results speak for themselves.
Although we had initially planned for 2–3 hours of his time, Colby generously spent over 4+ hours on the event day, plus another hour at rehearsal, simply because he wanted to support the kids and make sure everything was perfect. That kind of commitment is rare, and it made a huge difference to us.
The editing work was equally impressive. Colby and his team delivered beautifully edited videos and stunning photos, all at the highest quality, and with an incredibly quick turnaround. Their professionalism, creativity, and friendly approach made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. By the end, it felt less like working with a vendor and more like building a great friendship.
Thank you, Colby, for your extraordinary work, your generosity, and for helping our kids shine on such an important day. We are truly grateful and cannot recommend CB Photography & Videography highly enough!"
