_______________________________________________________________________________
How many years has DRC Creative Photo | Video been in business? 2 years
Type of photography/videography service does your business offer? Lifestyle Wedding, Family and Branding Photography and Video
What made you choose to open or take on your business? I did sports and lifestyle photography for a local newspaper in my early twenties. Life took me in a different path with another career. Fast forward to my impulse purchase of a drone and my sister in-law who is a make-up artist who does a lot of weddings in the Rochester area, who planted a seed of doing wedding drone videos. One thing led to another, and my love for photography was re-ignited. That, coupled with eventually wanting to be my own boss is the driving factor in opening DRC Creative.
Why choose Irondequoit for your business’ home? Irondequoit is my home. I’m from California, and prior to moving here, Los Angeles. Even before we settled into our home, our neighbors were friendly and very welcoming. I’ve found almost every resident to be the same. We came to lay roots in Rochester, so that is what I’m trying to do. With deep roots there is a strong tree.
How many employees does your business employ? Are any local Irondequoit natives? Just me and occasionally my wife and daughter who are my constant models!
What do you want potential customers to know about your business? In addition to taking timeless photos that you can look back on for many years to come; I pride myself on customer service. I will go the extra mile for my clients and make sure that they are taken care of.
Is there community service has your business been involved in or organizations do you support you would like to tell the community about? I’ve been involved with the Chamber taking photos at their Signature Events the past year. I worked with the Irondequoit Garden Walks providing them with photos and video of this years event. I’m raising funds for the American Cancer Society through my Facebook page through their Photo a Day in October Challenge.
