We respect and work with CHURCH LEADERSHIP.

“It is the duty of Pastors to instruct and guide the faithful so that they, with the help of these same media, may further the salvation and perfection of themselves and of the entire human family… It will be the task of the Bishops, however, to watch over such works and undertakings in their own dioceses, to promote them and, as far as the public apostolate is concerned, to guide them.”

The Second Vatican Council
Inter Mirifica, §3; 20

What do my PASTORS say? Take a look.

I fully and wholeheartedly recommend him for any and all projects.”

    ”Nick Castelli thrived as a student, photographer, and videographer while studying at Kellenberg Memorial High School. We say at Kellenberg that ‘Atmosphere Educates.’ Because of Nick's attention to faith, beauty, and truth, he promoted in his pictures and videos the Marianist philosophy of Catholic Education. His work makes a statement. Nick's photography captures the spirit of the subject. He is grateful for the talent given him by God and desires to share that talent through creative vision and imagination.”
