Best Wedding Video Ever - brought everyone into tears
★★★★★
"Last March, Norbert, and his team came down to Dana Point, CA, and shot the most amazing wedding photos I could have ever asked for. His attention to detail and professionalism was outstanding. He created an environment where everyone could be themselves and feel comfortable. The wedding video that Norbert made has brought everyone into tears that have watched it and I have been told that it is one of the best wedding videos that they have ever seen. And I agree. Thanks for the amazing job, Norbert!"

These beautiful pictures help me re-live the best memories!
★★★★★
"So grateful Norbert at Paper Birch came out to Oceanside to be a part of our wedding day. He was so professional, quick on his feet, and creative with his shots. Our photos came out BEAUTIFULLY with such intentional access to the gallery. With the wedding day going by so quickly, his pictures help me re-live the best memories. I was nervous because we didn't have a lot of daylight after our ceremony, but our pictures came out perfect nonetheless. He had the equipment and eye for capturing the best shots--and he made it fun! Very easygoing with no pressure -- which I appreciate as I'd rather be behind the camera than in front. I HIGHLY recommend him and his team for any and all types of photos."
