Recommendations
Steve is a talented DP. I would work with him anytime anywhere.
Great experience, great attitude, great gear. Exceeded expectations and his camera assistant Lesia was exceptional as well. Have no doubts when calling Steve.
I was in search of someone to help in capturing and framing the reunion of a team that I was a part of in 1977. We won a state football championship. That was about all I needed to tell Steve for him to step up to the plate and hit a grand slam home run for me. His creation far exceeded my greatest expectations. Steve's craftsmanship places him in the category of "CHAMPION," of championing stories that are personal and viscerally moving.

Steve is such a pro and a great guy to boot, it’s always a pleasure to shoot with him. As a director with a ton of responsibilities on my plate, I can always send him off to “bring home the shots” and trust he’ll nail it (while I deal with client pleasing and talent challenges!) He has an eye for the right shot, a mastery of modern tech, and a knack for problem solving. I’ve known him for 20 years and just worked with him yesterday!
I booked Steve less than two days before my shoot and I could tell he sensed that I was a bit stressed out over the phone when I first called him, but he did a great job of making me feel at ease and reassuring me that everything will turn out fine.. and you betchya it did! My interviewees looked amazing with the set up / lights Steve brought to the table. And not only that, Steve is very friendly, kind and professional. I highly recommend him and look forward to working with him again in the near future!
I can attest that being able to properly set up a beautifully lit interview is not an easy job...but if you that's what you need...Steve Rippe is your man! Steve is a premiere videographer, he is one of the most professional and talented videographers I've ever worked with. Steve is a True "Pro" from start to finish, his camera work is fantastic and he's "got the eye" for beautiful lighting!" Steve's equipment is new and high tech. If you are in the St. Louis area or surrounding area... Steve is your guy! HIRE him, you won't be disappointed! - Mary Pelloni
Working with Steve was a first class experience. He has excellent tools to get the job done in multiple ways, and approached the assignment with passion.
I have worked with Steve for many years, and would highly recommend him!
Steve is a pleasure to work with. His energy, commitment, and creativity would be an addition to any project.
