“I had been waiting breathlessly for the record of my recent 90th birthday party and was blown away when it arrived. It was a very complex event with four professional musicians giving us a remarkable recital. Jacob and Rachel captured all the nuances of their playing. That was in addition to the candid shots of guests being welcomed and panoramic views of the flowers and beautifully decorated tables plus the usual amusing speeches and ”roasts”. Their conscientious recording of what took place brought out a number of features which I had missed in the excitement of the day. All this was accomplished very quietly and unobtrusively. One was hardly aware of their presence unlike so many events where the recording almost upstages the participants. This was a first rate job." - Judith T. (San Francisco, CA)

“Jacob Marks Productions is the best of the best. Producing a video that gives the viewer a sense of being at a live performance is no easy task, but Jacob and Rachel make it seem effortless. They are incredibly talented videographers and editors. Their transitions from one shot to the next are seamless and their work overall is of the highest quality. Just as important, the two of them are kind, thoughtful and organized. They’re easy to communicate with and they always go above and beyond. I’ve been fortunate to have worked with them on several projects—most recently my production of Regard at The Contemporary Jewish Museum—and I look forward to many future collaborations. They are my go-to videographers and video editors!” - Alyssa M. (San Francisco, CA)

"I want thank you again for doing such a beautiful job—your video editing is sophisticated, sensitive, and complex, and my mind is blown at the high quality of the production" - Lynda L. (Lodi, CA)

"I am so grateful to have such a wonderful recording of Sunshine [Dance Show]. Thank you for your fine work and attention to details!" - Nichele V. (Sonoma County)

"We really appreciate your work on our social media video and attention to creating a professional, high quality, and informative video!" - Tara R. (Design in Mind & I3 Institute)

"We are impressed by the video you were able to record and the ending montage - it is amazing. The whole family really enjoyed watching my son's Bar Mitzvah. I cannot thank you enough." - Svetlana B. (Roseville, CA)
