---------PLEASE READ BEFORE CHECKING OUR AVAILABILITY---------- We love Thumbtack! However, please understand how it works: Thumbtack will allow you to send your request to multiple vendors and will immediately charge a $50-$150 fee to all of them, not just the one you hire. So please take the time to carefully check profiles, reviews, samples, prices, and contact only the vendor you feel is the right match for you. Obviously, we would love to win your business, but the most important thing to do is to contact only one vendor. Thanks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT US DeNoise Studios is a small and beautiful video, photo, audio production facility located in Berkeley, CA. Since 1998, we have completed more than 8000 projects. We also go everyday to film, shoot, and record on location, all over California and sometimes in other states or countries. Editing and projects management is always done at our studio under the supervision of Albert Benichou, the owner. We love seeing projects come to life. At DeNoise Studios we offer video, photo, and audio production services for business and personal events as well as for creative projects. Our skilled teams can help with every aspect of production including: scriptwriting, storyboarding, filming, recording, shooting, and live streaming. At our studio or on location we offer green screen services, editing, tilting, special effects, voice-over, captioning, digitization, duplication, and on-demand distribution. We have access to many talented musicians, models, hair and makeup artists for any creative production needs. About our founder, Albert Benichou: “I grew up in south of France, spent a few years in Israel and Morocco, and came to Berkeley in 1998 where I started DeNoise Studios. The business began as a sound mastering facility working with local musicians. I am an artist myself, I write and compose songs. I play guitar and perform, French/Bossanova style. In 2008, I expanded DeNoise to include video and photo production and I was able to transfer my artistic skills in a way that I can today handle a mic or a lens with the same passion. Every day I pack my motorcycle with equipment and meet different people telling different stories, and there is probably no better place than the Bay Area for this.”

My personal philosophy when it comes to working with clients is to make the experience of hiring me as easy as possible. I'm not one to beat around the bush, and I hate wasting my client's and my own time on things that don't matter. The process for inquiry is to check with the client for job type, and availability for event/job date. From there I'll answer any questions the client may have, either through text or call. If things work out, I will digitally send the client a contract for the event/job. Half the total amount will be due at time of signing. We'll take the photos, and I'll send back the photos through an online gallery for clients to download off of. If you've read to this part, I thank you for your time, and I can't wait to hear from you :)

We've been in Photography and Video for over 10 years and love to deliver a stellar product. We love weddings, events, and portraits, but Real Estate is our most common service. We do not put a cap on how many photos will be delivered (you get them all). We pride ourselves on always delivering tasteful photos that will pop, within 24 hours from the time of the shoot. We can use HDR methods, or professional flash methods (the walls are brighter as a result). Aerial Drone services is always available.
