Kind words
"Thank you for always helping to tell our story and share our beautiful city with the moments you capture so fabulously!"
Beth Weirick
CEO - milwaukee downtown bid#21
“Neil photographed the Michelle Obama Book Tour and he has been nothing but kind, patient, and generous. I was so grateful he captured the moment of the candid photos of me crying in front of Michelle Obama. Those photos are more meaningful to me than the actual posed photo. I couldn’t be more thankful for Neil and his generosity. Highly recommend.”
Brittany Howley
"The video for our Team Member Appreciation Day turned out fabulous — we got a lot of great feedback, response and engagement from the team — kudos to the team for putting that together so quickly! (And I certainly appreciate the crew at Front Room adapting to that last-minute request!)"
Chastity - Compeer Finincial
“You have impeccable attention to detail! I love knowing that you are always on the ball and willing to help with whatever I need. As you are probably aware, this is only one (crazy) part of our job, so it’s imperative we have a responsive vendor. You have shown nothing but the best customer service we could receive.”
AURORA health care
“Front Room tailored the shoot to our needs. I simply emailed our franchise standards and they were met. You put us at ease and executed our requests flawlessly, without any hassle to employees or guests. Thank you for being professional, polite, and delivering fantastic photos.”
Marcus hotels & resorts
“Neil and his team were absolutely phenomenal to work with. Their attention to detail, willingness to capture great content, and interview skills has been the sole contributor to this wonderful video they produced! Their process for creating a video for our fundraising event has been the best we have encountered so far.”
city on a hill
“In my many years of doing this event, these are by far the best photos we have received. You covered everything we asked for and more — with a crazy turnaround time. We have struggled the last few years to find photos that capture the energy of the event. Usually, I struggle to fill two pages in our magazine with them and we gave you FIVE!”
Carrie G - MMAC
“Front Room Team - Thank you for your help on the Community Impact Report. It is wonderful to work with people who understand and embrace the Goodwill mission.”
