What we collect
When you use the contact form (including quote requests you send from the pricing tools) or the review form, we receive what you type: your name, email, the service you're interested in, and your message or review (including a star rating). A quote request also includes the package, add-ons, location and estimated price you selected. Our form service and hosting provider also receive technical details such as your IP address and browser type.
How we use it
Only to reply to you, plan and deliver your shoot, and learn from your feedback. We don't sell your information.
Who else handles it
Form submissions reach us through Formspree, a third-party form service. The site is hosted on Netlify, and fonts load from Google Fonts, so those providers receive your IP address when you visit. Links to Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp and Google Reviews leave this site and follow those services' own policies.
On your device
The site saves your cookie-notice choice in your browser's local storage. It doesn't currently use analytics or advertising trackers.
Payments
Deposits are sent through Zelle, PayPal, Cash App, or Venmo, outside this site. We never collect card or bank details here.
We're AH Media, a Salinas-born creative studio that shows this city, and everywhere we work, the way we see it: cinematic, up close, and worth a second look. The people, cars, homes and moments around us deserve to look as good on screen as they feel in person.
Today we shoot real estate listings, Airbnb and vacation rentals, portraits, cars, events and short-form content for clients across the Monterey Peninsula and the Bay Area. Whether it's a home that needs to stand out on the market or an artist who needs a reel people actually stop for, we treat every shoot like it's the only one.
We bring a Sony FX30, DJI gimbal, GoPro Max, a drone flown by an FAA Part 107 certified pilot and professional audio, and we show up on time and ready. You bring the vision, we handle the rest, and you'll always know your exact price before you pay a deposit.
