Event coverage
Conferences, seminars, client appreciation events and company celebrations. Photo, video or both, with recap edits delivered while the event is still top of mind.
The event ends.
The content keeps working.
Photo and video for businesses and the events that grow them. Every shoot is planned around what the content needs to accomplish.
Content without a plan rarely performs.
Too often a camera shows up, a folder of files comes back, and no one is quite sure how to use them. Content that performs starts with a clear purpose.
Just capturing the day
- Whatever happens to get captured
- Hundreds of unedited files
- One video that doesn't fit your channels
- A shooter with no context on your goals
Built to work for you
- A clear plan for what the content needs to accomplish
- Coverage captured with the final edit in mind
- Edits formatted for every platform you use
- A partner on set who understands marketing and sales

What clients say
From the video quality to the sound design he hit it out of the park.
James absolutely crushed our video! He directed, shot, and edited the whole thing from start to finish. From the video quality to the sound design he hit it out of the park. Not only that but he does an excellent job with graphics, marketing and is just a very genuine human being. Highly recommended!

Hi, I'm James.
Before I picked up a camera professionally, I spent more than 15 years in sales. For the last six years I've led marketing and creative for one of the largest real estate teams in the Mid-Atlantic, so I understand what content needs to do after it's posted.
JL3 Creative brings that same approach to local businesses. You work with one person from planning through the final edit, so nothing gets lost along the way.

- I coach high school wrestling and love a good run. Most of my free time goes to my wife and our dog.
Common questions
Anything not covered here, we can walk through on our call.
Where do you work?
I'm based in Parkville, MD and work with clients across Maryland, DC, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
How is pricing structured?
Every event is different, so pricing is shared after a brief discovery call. Once we've talked, you'll get a quote built around the package and add-ons that fit your event.
Can you cover photo and video at the same event?
Yes. Coverage can include photo, video or both, depending on what your event calls for.
How quickly will I receive my content?
Event recap edits are typically delivered within 72 hours. Faster turnaround is available on select projects.
Are revisions included?
Yes. Every project includes two rounds of revisions.
How do I reserve my date?
A deposit reserves your date. The remaining balance is invoiced on the day of your event and due within 15 days.
Do you offer drone coverage?
Yes. I'm an FAA Part 107 certified pilot, so aerial footage is captured safely and legally.
What if I'm not sure what I need?
That's exactly what the discovery call is for. Share what's coming up and what you'd like to achieve, and I'll recommend the right approach, even if that's the simplest option.
