Always a year end highlight to check out everyone' Always a year end highlight to check out everyone's work at the Madison Media Professionals @madisonmediapros WAVE Awards. And of course, thankful for a couple nods in our direction as well.
After experiencing nearly every type of production After experiencing nearly every type of production set throughout my career. Size, shape, budget & scale for every kind of project imaginable. I came away knowing very specifically what I wanted to accomplish with The Diligent Company. Having a photographer step in and capture all of that for us is so rewarding to see. Focused, collaborative, detailed, fun but most of all appreciative of every crew member that has taken the time to make it all happen. Thank you Sharon Vanorny @svheartphotography for stepping in and capturing this small slice of our production process.
