    Mendocino was a great vendor, creative and friendly and captured unique moments of the wedding day. Gave us a few pictures and video clips of the day for us to use as well which was super kind and thoughtful of them! Thanks Nile!

    Nile at Mendocino Photo and Video is a true master of his craft. What sets him apart isn't just his exceptional videography skills (although he has that in spades!) - it's his thoughtful approach to the entire process, which, as we learned, starts long before a camera gets turned on. Before our celebration, he invested considerable time in understanding our vision and provided invaluable guidance on how to capture the best possible footage. This included meetings, timeline suggestions, and how we can make the most of his skills to capture the most optimal footage. He really took time to understand the vision we had for documenting our celebration. On the day of our event, Nile's calm and grounding presence was exactly what we needed. He has this remarkable ability to be everywhere while remaining unobtrusive, capturing authentic moments without disrupting their natural flow. His experience and ability to read the room allowed him to anticipate and capture meaningful moments that might have otherwise been missed. The final edited content tells our story beautifully - creating a chronicle of our celebration that we'll treasure and share for years to come. Of all the decisions we had to make planning our special day, working with Nile was one of the BEST ones. His professionalism, talent, and genuine care make him an absolute gift to work with!

  • Incredible videographer and top notch service!

    Nile at Mendocino Photo and Video is an exceptional videographer, and we'd recommend him to anyone and everyone looking to capture their special day. We called on him only a month prior to getting married because we had some family who could no longer make it, and he made it so easy to work together, even with only 30 days to make it happen. He didn't skip any corners, he met with us to understand our needs and wants on the day, and to just learn more about us as a couple. He's got high EQ and that was huge for us. On the day Nile and his team were absolute professionals in every sense. They struck a great balance between being everywhere to capture all the special moments, while not at all making it feel overbearing or too much. And then the edit they provided afterwards with all the footage is just the perfect keepsake for us to look back on for life. Thank you Nile and team!!!

    I worked with videographer Nile Sprague this summer as the photographer for Ben and Kimberley's wedding and I knew after that day that I wanted to collaborate with Nile on future photo/video projects. It was clear from the beginning that Nile was there to tell the unique story of this couple's wedding and not to impose his own preconceived notions. Looking at the short preview video he made for Ben and Kimberley within a week, I was deeply moved by his attention to subtle facial expressions, beautiful captures of the late afternoon light and his skillful editing that drew me in with its rhythmic sequences. When clients ask for a videographer, I highly recommend Nile and send a link to his online portfolio.
